Chapter 149: Eat the seedlings and kill them!

The Speed-Death Halo accelerated the entire life process. Those with long lives, like the human Anthony, grew into a middle-aged man in his forties in just a few days while consuming high-nutrient substances.

The crops that matured in one season finished their short lives in just three hours, leaving behind fruitful harvests.

And for these insects whose life cycles might only be a few days, the moment Ang stomped the halo, they were met with a disaster.

Their entire life cycle was accelerated to the limit, so short that they didn't even have time to fly onto the villagers, bite through their skin, gnaw on their flesh, and lay eggs. They fell *patter, patter* from the air, kicked their legs, and died.

The insects swarming in the sky fell *patter, patter*, like rain. Before long, the entire sky was clean.

The beetles in the ground struggled to crawl up, then also kicked their legs, flipped over, and died.

"Speed... Speed-Death Halo can be used like this? It's truly ingenious. How did you think of it?" Nai Ge Li Si asked in surprise.

Ang looked at him in confusion, as if wondering why he would ask such a question: "Every time I activate it, the insects die."

"Oh, right, right, right," Nai Ge Li Si said, but he was already cursing in his heart: *Only a ghost would notice the insects dying; you are the one planting vegetables, not me. *

When the insects fell *patter, patter*, John and the other villagers were already shocked.

"What... what happened? Why did they all fall down?"

"Are they poisoned?"

"Uh, look, my blister. I accidentally got burned by the bonfire when I was running just now. Now it's blistering, deflating, healing..."

"Do you guys feel a bit hungry?"

"Not... not a bit, I'm starving. Didn't we just finish a full meal?"

"There's still food, eat quickly."

"Eh, bride, your belly? Why is it bulging? Did you eat too much?"

"What? Pregnant? Getting married today, and showing today?"

When Ang stopped the halo, one of the brides' bellies was already showing, looking like three or four months along. Only after asking did they find out she was already two months pregnant. The bride's parents almost beat the groom's dog head off.

As for why a two-month belly bulged like a three-to-four-month one, Nai Ge Li Si's explanation was the influence of divine skill, and he jokingly said: "This is a blessing from the gods."

To thoroughly eradicate these insects and beetles, Ang accelerated them for a full two months, which was absolutely dead-as-can-be for those beetles and insects whose life cycles were only two or three days.

The corpses of the sand bandits on the ground were gnawed by the insects and beetles until only skeletons remained, except for one exception: Duomite, who had been stabbed to death by the cloaked person's hand.

Ang walked in front of him, raised his scythe, and was about to slash down when Duomite's corpse suddenly jumped up and ran away.

With every step he took, the skin and flesh on his body bounced *duang, duang*, as if he were filled with liquid under the skin.

Ang looked back at the severed limb of one of the cloaked people. They were all liches, and their soul flames were in their chests. However, the soul on one of the severed limbs had disappeared. Obviously, they had used some unknown method to transfer the soul to Duomite's corpse.

Ang's scythe slashed across his body, and the soul was hooked out.

Duomite's corpse rushed forward by inertia for a few steps, like a human-shaped skin bag filled with liquid, and collapsed with a *crack*. The "skin bag" broke, rolling out a pile of black, translucent eggs with a white dot.

Each egg might only be one millimeter in size, densely packed with tens of millions, surging on the ground like a pool of liquid, making Nai Ge Li Si's scales stand on end.

"This sand bandit's corpse was actually used as an egg incubator? It could cultivate tens of millions to hundreds of millions of eggs at once. Once released, it could immediately form a scale. Heavens, thanks to the Speed-Death Halo, this kind of incubation might take a month or two. If we hadn't noticed and buried his corpse, tens of millions of beetles would have crawled out in a month or two."

"The Speed-Death Halo accelerated this process, allowing us to discover the problem immediately. Heavens, if we hadn't discovered it and buried it directly, all the villagers nearby would have died in two months. No, no, nothing can be left, including those bug corpses. Ang, burn all the corpses of those bugs, not a single one can be left."

Ang cast the Burning Wasteland spell, letting fire elements attach to the bug corpses and burn slowly. This burning method was more thorough and wouldn't blow the bug corpses away like a fireball spell.

When Ang burned the wasteland, this was how he burned it, including those bug eggs in the soil, which would all be gone.

Before long, the bug corpses were left with only pools of black ash.

While Ang was burning the bugs, Nai Ge Li Si found fine soil and let Nai Aili and Bai Hou spit saliva to mix the mud.

Luo Ge poked his head out curiously from the side: "Is this the so-called Dragon Saliva Soil? The mixed mud has a certain elemental affinity and can be made into magic sculptures?"

"Correct, you have an eye for it. Our Dragon race is a treasure from head to toe; there is nothing that is useless," Nai Ge Li Si said proudly.

"Right, that's why Lord Jian Gu caught you. If you were useless, why would he catch you? You've spat quite a bit of saliva over these years," Luo Ge said casually.

*Stabbing pain... * Nai Ge Li Si's heart skipped a beat. Although he hadn't spat much saliva over those years, he had defecated quite a bit. Where did those things go?

Subconsciously, his gaze turned to Ang: "I know why the land in the farm hasn't lost its fertility for over a thousand years..."

The mixed mud was kneaded into a hollow sphere, a bit of bug eggs were picked and put inside, and then it was blocked with mud. He said to Ang: "Ang, can you sense the water elements in the mud embryo inside? Extract them, but don't touch the bug eggs inside."

"Oh." Ang grabbed with his hand, and some small water droplets were sucked out, condensing on the surface of the mud sphere, and then flew to Ang's palm. With the extraction of these water droplets, the freshly mixed mud embryo dried rapidly.

There were many ways to dry a mud embryo—burning or sun-drying—but the hollow part had bug eggs, and high temperatures could easily burn them into a paste, while sun-drying took too long, so stripping the water elements was the most convenient.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, such control. It's a waste not to go and draw scrolls. Come, come, engrave these magic arrays onto the surface of the mud sphere." As Nai Ge Li Si spoke, he transmitted several magic arrays to Ang using his soul.

Under Ang's locked gaze, magic arrays were engraved on the surface of the mud sphere. Every line and every edge was clear and accurate, as if it had been rubbed.

As the last stroke was engraved, the mud sphere hummed, and a wave of elemental fluctuations rippled out.

Nai Ge Li Si handed the mud sphere to Ang and said: "Before the magic array expires, these bug eggs will be sealed. Put them away first, and send them to Bulusike and the World Tree later to let them study them. These bugs are not simple. If they are allowed to run rampant, the entire main material plane will be gnawed away by them."

Ang put the mud sphere into the Anxi Zhigong, and then used magic to burn the remaining bug eggs into ash.

After burning, Ang looked at the bug egg ash in a daze, then turned his head to look at the ash burned from the beetles and insects, and tilted his head.

"Ow!" The Little Xiao Jiangshi suddenly called out in the distance. When they went over to look, they saw the Little Xiao Jiangshi chasing a beetle that had slipped through the net and running out.

The original beetles were crawling on the ground and burrowing into the ground, but this beetle was different. It actually flew up, flew for a distance and stopped, then flew for a distance and stopped again. Very quickly, it flew to the place where Ang planted the salty water magic rice and pounced on a seedling, *crunch, crunch*, gnawing away.

This beetle not only ate meat but also ate vegetables?

After gnawing for a while, the beetle suddenly broke from the middle. One head and one tail—the head part grew a tail, and the tail part grew a head. It actually turned from one into two right under everyone's eyes. However, the one grown from the tail part had no wings.

"It can grow even by eating vegetables? This kind of bug is too perverted, right?" Nai Ge Li Si couldn't help but say.

Ang beside him had soul flames erupting from his head, and he said word by word: "Eat the seedlings? Kill them! He Mo Er."

Ang hadn't been this angry when the sand bandits were eaten just now. ===== CHAPTER 150 =====
