Family Rise: Start with Daily Intelligence

Qiansang Garden where Cao Xueyang lived.

The singers were babbling on the stage and singing opera. The main protagonist Cao Xueyang was having fun with the girls in the Wanhua Pond. The messenger jade talisman was also put into the storage bag and placed on the shelf in the Wanhua Pond. There was no trace of it at all. Received a message from the old patriarch.

Cao Xueyang spent the whole night in a pond of thousands of flowers.

The next day.

When dawn breaks.

When Cao Jialing got up to water the spiritual field, the scene in front of them was so frightening that their legs went weak.

But I saw that above the spiritual field, not to mention the spiritual plants, even a single weed had been swept away, and the entire sky above the spiritual field was shrouded in dense black beetles.

Buzz!

The moment the Yaotian magic circle was opened.

These black beetles immediately flapped their wings, and with a flash of black light, they disappeared from sight:

"Oh my god!"

"What on earth is going on?"

"Lingtian was fine yesterday. Why did so many black beetles suddenly appear?"

"It's over, it's over, hundreds of spiritual plants in the spiritual field have been swallowed up, what should we do?!"

"Quick, go find the Second Master Xue"

Lingzhifu ran towards Lingzhi Hall rolling and crawling.

Since Cao Xueyang took over Lingzhi Hall, he immediately replaced the old people who had taken care of Lingzhi Hall. These people who took care of Lingzhi Hall were all brought in through various connections. They just wanted to live in a leisurely position, which led to the drug There were so many insect eggs appearing in Tianzhong without any notice.

Several people ran to Lingzhi Hall.

Cao Xueyang had countless phoenixes last night, and was so tired that he slept directly in the flower pond. A strange smell spread out in the air, and several people barged in without warning.

Cao Xueyang, who was woken up, frowned:

"Look at how panicked you are, the sky is falling."

It’s not like the sky is falling.

Lingzhifu fell to the ground tremblingly, shaking his body and said:

"Report II. Hundreds of acres of elixirs in Er Ye's spiritual field were all devoured by a black beetle overnight. Er Ye, you'd better go and have a look. This. This black beetle took advantage of us not paying attention. After flying out of Lingtian, I’m not sure where the other things are going now!”

"What?"

Hundreds of acres of elixir were devoured overnight!

Cao Xueyang's expression changed.

There was a crash and water splashed everywhere.

Cao Xueyang immediately jumped out of the Thousand Flower Pond. After coming out of his home, what he saw was a black dot, and he saw densely packed black beetles adsorbed on the entire mountain guarding formation.

The black beetle is quickly devouring the light shield aura of the mountain guarding formation:

"What the hell is this?!"

Cao Xueyang's feet softened.

He had never seen this posture before and hurriedly ran to the formation center. At this time, the second elder Cao and the third elder Cao were injecting magic spells into the formation center.

Buzz!

But the situation outside the Clan Mountain came into view.

But he saw that the whole world was completely dark.

All you see are black beetles, densely packed and endless, as if you are in a world of insect tides.

"Gudong!"

See this scene.

Cao Xueyang was so frightened that he took several steps back.

because.

At this time, these black beetles were swooping towards their clan's territory overwhelmingly, lying on the formation's light shield, desperately devouring spiritual energy.

The inside should be combined with the outside.

I'm afraid it's less than half a cup of tea.

The protective shield of the mountain array will be breached immediately.

Elder Cao Er said coldly:

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly help run the magic circle and kill the black beetle!"

Once the black beetle cooperates inside and outside, the Jiangzu Mountain Formation will be breached.

The consequences are disastrous.

After Cao Xueyang reacted, he quickly penetrated the center of the formation with spells one after another. Dots of white mist suddenly rose up in the formation. The white mist soon enveloped the entire Clan Mountain. The illusion formation restriction was opened, transferring the black beetles inside and outside to the light shield. outside.

Just when they were about to activate the power of the magic circle to strangle this black beetle.

Buzz!

But I saw that the operation of the magic circle suddenly stopped:

"What's going on?"

Elder Cao Er used a spell to penetrate into the center of the formation, but he saw the situation of the underground spiritual veins. At this time, the spiritual veins contained densely packed black beetles.

Or rather.

The entire spiritual vein is already composed of these black beetles.

The mountain-protecting formation is meant to extract the power of the spiritual veins. At this time, the spiritual veins and spiritual energy are exhausted. Wherever the magic circle can be operated, only a clicking sound can be heard.

The light shield of the mountain-protecting formation was already cracking rapidly.

"Third brother, activate the emergency spirit stone quickly!"

Once the inside and outside are lost.

I'm afraid they will also become the prey of these black beetles.

Cao Laosan struck a magic spell into the stone hall on the side. With a buzz, the stone hall opened, and then each medium-grade spiritual stone quickly fell into the grooves!

boom!

The magic array light curtain once again lit up with bright light, and the magic array emerged.

Ding ding ding!

The mountain guarding formation's killing formation restriction was activated.

One after another sword energy slashes fell on the black beetle, and the black beetle's back shell was surging with black light. It was actually indestructible, and its defense was like a turtle shell.

The Cao family's mountain-protecting formation has the attributes of gold and fire.

Seeing that the black beetle's defense was extremely strong, Elder Cao immediately changed his spell. A burst of magic hit the central array. With a bang, a sea of ​​fire shot out, and in an instant all the black beetles shrouded in the phantom array were wiped out. Submerged, wherever the flames passed, black beetles fell to the ground, densely packed.

However.

What happened next was a scene.

But Elder Cao's pupils shrank.

But they saw the living black beetles rushing down to the ground very fast, and saw their tentacles inserting into the corpses of the same kind. The next moment, they saw countless black energy sinking into their bodies along the long tentacles.

In the blink of an eye.

Three first-level peak black beetles broke through to the second level:

"Oops!"

Elder Cao Er quickly activated the magic circle with both hands. There was a buzz in the magic circle, and a ten-foot-long long sword condensed with flames condensed out. The moment the black beetle broke through, it struck down in the air as fast as lightning.

bite!

The black beetle, which had just broken through the unstable aura, was unable to dodge and was split in half in an instant.

at the same time.

The black beetles on the ground were covered by the phantom formation.

It took several days.

All the black beetles in the fief were finally killed.

only.

At this time, the level of the spiritual veins has been reduced to the first level, and it cannot provide the power to operate the formation at all. In order to bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Cao family had exhausted their spiritual stone reserves.

At this moment, the emergency spirit stones filled in the groove of the magic circle are exhausted.

The black beetles outside will definitely break through the formation and rush in.

Elder Cao Er said quickly:

"We have to let the clan leader get out of seclusion quickly and let the people from the Gongsun family come to support. Otherwise, if we continue, it will be the disaster of annihilation of the clan!"

Cao Xueyang on the side heard this.

He quickly said:

"Father, you run the magic circle, and I'll call the clan leader."

When Cao Xueyang was casting a spell just now, he saw from the storage bag that in the jade talisman of communication, the clan leader had sent him a message. If it was about the black beetle, then the blame for the family's loss would undoubtedly fall on him.

Even with my father protecting me.

I'm just afraid. I'm just afraid that he won't be able to escape punishment.

Cao Xueyang rushed to the retreat of the clan leader. After ringing the emergency doorbell, after a while, he saw the pale-faced clan leader Cao coming out of the stone gate. He could only barely suppress the injuries that had occurred in the past few days. , the first thing he said when he saw Cao Xueyang was:

"Xueyang, is there the black beetle that Patriarch Fu mentioned in our Lingtian's spiritual veins?"

It’s over!

The last time the clan leader summoned him, it was really about the black beetle.

Cao Xueyang narrowed his eyes slightly.

The old patriarch, who has lost his fighting power, should have abdicated long ago and made way for someone new. My father, remembering his old friendship, allowed him to stay in the position of patriarch for more than ten years. It was time to vacate the position:

"Clan leader, there are no black beetles in our spiritual field. I came here to ask for your instructions."

Cao Xueyang spoke immediately and stepped forward quickly.

The center of the formation.

After Cao Xueyang left, Elder Cao immediately told another new foundation builder, Cao Xuerui:

"Just in case, Xiaoliu, please ring the ancient bell quickly and lead the Qi Refining clan members into the underground shelter to hide. Don't worry about the supplies. Move the people in first and move them in quickly!"

"Yes, Second Elder"

Cao Xuerui quickly took the order and left.

Elder Cao San looked at the black beetles everywhere outside and said worriedly:

"Second brother, I'm afraid that Gongsun's family will also be besieged by a wave of insects at this moment."

"Don't be afraid. The reserve of medium-grade spiritual stones is only enough for us to operate the mountain protection formation for a month. Even if the Gongsun family doesn't come, it's time for the Zhenshi Division to send people to rescue."

Elder Cao Er glanced at the middle-grade spiritual stone on the groove and felt happy for a while.

seven years ago.

He and Lao San unanimously asked the old patriarch to take out these batches of middle-grade spiritual stones and bid for the foundation-building pills. At that time, the old patriarch firmly opposed it. In the end, he did not hesitate to auction the third-grade spiritual treasures he had collected for many years in exchange for Two foundation building pills.

It seems now.

It was the old patriarch who had the foresight. It took a while.

Cao Xuerui arranged for the Qi Refining clan members to return to the central magic circle and lock it up. Seeing that Cao Xueyang had not returned for a long time, the second elder Cao was about to take out the summons jade talisman to send a message, but saw Cao Dongyang stumbled in at this time.

Elder Cao Er saw tears on his face.

My heart skipped a beat.

They and the patriarch have been through life and death for many years, and their relationship is extraordinary. Otherwise, patriarch Cao would not have allowed the other party to take charge of the Cao family for so many years without fighting power. If it were any other family, the head of the family would have been changed long ago.

Cao Laosan’s voice trembled slightly:

"Xueyang, but he is the head of the family."

"When the third uncle, father, sixth brother, and the head of the family heard the bad news that the spiritual veins and fields were damaged, the injuries in their bodies could not be controlled for a while, and they completely exploded, and everyone was dead."

The words have not yet finished.

The second elder Cao and the third elder Cao dodge one after another. When they arrived at the retreat of Patriarch Cao, they saw Patriarch Cao lying on the ground covered in blood, his breath was cut off, and he was dead with eyes closed:

"Master!!"

The second elder Cao and the third elder Cao were filled with grief.

Cao Xueyang, who followed, was also in tears at this time, but he said quickly:

"Father, Third Uncle, now is not the time to be sad. The Cao family still needs you two to be in charge. If the center of the formation stops functioning, the black beetles will soon enter the clan mountain."

Elder Cao Er covered his face and cried.

But it was a bit more comforting to see his son remain so calm and composed at critical moments.

Cao Xueyang continued:

"Father, third uncle, please express my condolences. I will be responsible for organizing the body of the family leader. You should return to the formation center as soon as possible. The sixth brother alone may not be able to maintain a mountain-protecting formation."

While talking.

Boom!

But they saw the entire clan mountain shaking violently.

Elder Cao's expression changed. The two of them ignored their sadness and returned to the center of the formation very quickly.

A spell hit the center of the formation.

The tremor just now.

Shockingly, it came from the forbidden area behind the mountain.

Only the head of the family can go to the forbidden area in the back mountain.

Second Elder Cao thumped.

When they killed the Black Beetle just now, because they did not have the authority to check the situation in the forbidden area in the back mountain, they missed this place:

"Oops!"

I'm afraid there are black beetles there too.

Was about to say something.

But there was a clicking sound.

The light curtain of the magic circle in the back mountain cracked instantly.

Buzz! !

An overwhelming swarm of black beetles swarmed in.

Among these black beetles.

A dozen second-level cultivators actually appeared. Under their control, the black beetles rushed towards the center of the formation like an army pressing down on the territory.

Elder Cao Er shouted:

"Lao San, Xiao Yang, Xiao Liu, quickly, form a formation!!!"

The black beetle army is endless. They can kill dozens or hundreds of them, but they cannot kill tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. And they will eventually run out of mana!

The four people took steps and formed a strange formation, breaking through the black beetle wave at extremely fast speeds.

Run towards the entrance of the shelter.

However, the insect tide gathered more and more, and as they killed a group, higher-level black beetles were born. However, those dozen second-level black beetles were near the entrance of the shelter. Once they opened the entrance, If the black beetle cannot be kept out.

Then today is the day when their Cao family will be exterminated.

Elder Cao Er bit his silver teeth:

"Lao San, Xiao Yang, Xiao Liu, go southwest!"

The southwest insect wave is the weakest.

That's where the He family's fiefdom is located.

The second elder Cao couldn't care less about his physical pain at this time. He waved his sleeves and a third-level talisman flashed out. Along with a magic spell, the talisman ignited spontaneously with a bang. A roar came out, and a fire dragon came out. After the transformation, the fire dragon rushed toward the southwest at an extremely fast speed. Wherever it passed, black beetles scattered all over the ground.

The four of them relied on this disposable third-level talisman.

Finally, he broke out of the insect swarm and fought his way out.

at the same time.

Scenes of insect swarms attacking the city were being staged throughout Huainan Prefecture.

Wherever the black beetle passed, it was like a locust passing through, leaving no grass behind. Whether it was humans, monsters, or plants, they were all devoured.

A few days later.

After the situation in various fiefdoms stabilized.

Fu Changsheng quickly received a summons from the Huainan Prefecture's Ninth Rank Family Council.

Return to the secret room.

A spell was struck on the jade talisman of the head of the family.

Buzz!

A pulling force fell.

Soon his figure was projected in the meeting hall of a ninth-grade family.

Fu Changsheng glanced at it.

The iron triangle of the Cui family, the Qi family, and the Hong family appeared in the parliament unharmed. The Lin family is actually controlled by the Shangguan family, so when the insect wave broke out, they also escaped disaster. The leader of the Lin family also appeared in the parliament. What happened to the Liang family? Home is also there.

Only the Cao family is missing.

Fu Changsheng frowned.

When the insect wave broke out, he had clearly reminded Patriarch Cao that the other party should not do it. Maybe he was delayed by other general affairs.

at this time.

Patriarch He sighed and spoke first:

"I want to tell you some unfortunate news. Chief Cao has died of illness. The Cao family's spiritual veins and spiritual fields have been swallowed up by the insect tide. Except for the four foundation builders who fled to my He family, the rest of the clan hid in the underground shelter and their lives and deaths are unknown. The mortal city is It has been eaten up by black beetles."

How could this be?

Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment.

at this time.

A message from Patriarch He came to my ears:

"Thank you to Patriarch Fu for your timely reminder, which saved our He family from disaster."

Fu Changsheng had doubts in his heart.

Feeling that something was fishy, ​​he quickly sent a message to Patriarch He:

"Brother He, there is no need to be polite. We are in-laws and we should help each other. However, there is something I don't know. Before the insect wave broke out, I reminded the Cao patriarch that this situation should not happen in the Cao family."

Chief He was when they were building the Demon Control City.

He generously provided Qianyang Stone and married his daughter into the Fu family.

Fu Changsheng still felt that he should remind the other party to build a foundation to prevent the doves from occupying the magpie's nest.

"Brother Fu, you mean that you also warned the Cao family."

"Well, I sent a message to both of you almost at the same time. Patriarch Cao also sent a message to me, saying that he would definitely come to thank you after he leaves the customs in the future."

When Patriarch He heard this, his expression changed.

He tested his words and learned from the Cao family that they had not received any warning, but Fu Changsheng had absolutely no reason to lie to him. The old patriarch Cao also died after the insect wave broke out, which means that the other party must have received Fu Changsheng's message:

"Could it be."

Patriarch He thought of a possibility.

The pupils shrank.

After everyone heard the bad news about the Cao family.

There was silence for a while.

As the person in charge, Patriarch Cui was the first to speak:

"The outbreak of the insect wave this time was extremely strange. It happened almost overnight. The clan members here must have suffered more or less losses. It is inevitable that the Cao family will be overthrown again. We must come up with a way to expel the black beetles as soon as possible. In just a few days, more than a hundred second-level cultivations have evolved from this group of black beetles. If they continue to develop, I am afraid that a third-level insect king may be born.”

Disaster is present.

At this moment, everyone no longer has the intrigues and intrigues of the past.

Patriarch Liang sighed:

"If we want to eliminate this black beetle, we must understand the habits of this insect and find its weaknesses. The black beetle is just a name we gave ourselves, but what kind of monster is this insect? Does anyone here know the situation? ?”

There was silence for a while.

Patriarch Cui hesitated and said:

“Our ancestors of the Cui family have been to the far west before.

There was a record in his diary that an insect wave broke out in the Far West, but it was the Western Desert Locust. Later, it was the Wanling Sect in the Far West that took action to annihilate the beast tide.

The Western Desert Locust is different from the black beetle we see.

After the black beetles that appeared in our Huainan Prefecture evolved to the second level, their defense power was greatly improved. They were unable to be broken by ordinary spells wearing black armor, and they reproduced at an astonishingly fast rate. "

The black beetle is more like the advanced form of the Western Desert Locust. "

When everyone heard about the land in the far west, their hearts skipped a beat.

In the far west, the sect is established, and the world of immortality there is controlled by the sect.

Wanling Sect is one of the ten major sects in the Far West. Over the years, there has been constant friction between Great Zhou and the sects in the Far West.

Those present listened to Patriarch Cui’s story.

There is a vague smell of conspiracy.

Patriarch Liang hesitated and said:

"Could it be that the insect tide in our Huainan Mansion was caused by the sect in the Far West?"
