Chapter 271 Deep Pit Demonic Energy
"The princess is amazing. She can see through the secrets of the dense forest at a glance.
People here call this place the Black Forest. I heard that there is a big pit deep in the forest, which emits thick black poisonous gas when it rains.
It can make people sick or ulcerated, and in severe cases, they may foam at the mouth and suffocate to death. This may be the miasma that the princess mentioned.
I don’t know whether it was created by the Miao people or something else, but people from our Eastern Dynasty cannot travel through the Black Forest.
The Miao and Western peoples also never appeared from the other side of the forest. The Black Forest silently became a natural barrier between the two countries."
Aunt Shi was from a nearby village, so she naturally heard a lot of news.
Jiang Changle nodded in understanding, "No one is coming here, so let's first find the deep pit here and see where is the best place to collect saltpeter.
Saltpeter usually appears in corroded areas, so I think it's near that deep pit. If we find it, we can set up a protective formation nearby to prevent the Miao people from passing through."
The workers' working environment must be safe, which has always been the top priority for the Jiang family workshop.
"We'll then send some troops over to maintain law and order, clearing a thoroughfare for vehicles to pass through. This will also help reduce the infestation of poisonous insects and miasma."
I just hope that it is really just ordinary miasma. In this way, the workers can be safe as long as they wear gas masks and take some preventive medicines.
But what was strange was that Jiang Changle and his group had walked for several miles, but they didn't see any wild beasts or poisonous insects, such as snakes, not even a single one.
"Why didn't I see any poisonous insects?" Aunt Shi was feeling very nervous. Usually, the weirder the situation, the more trouble there would be, and it would make people more scared.
Jiang Changle turned his head to look at the Fire Kirin hanging at the end, "It's not your fault, is it?"
The Fire Kirin is a beast god after all, and maybe he has that kind of blood crushing power, that is, pressure or something.
"I didn't do anything. You'd better be careful." Fire Qilin responded lazily.
Jiang Changle had no choice but to keep moving forward.
Shui Xing and Shi Daye were leading the way, clearing the way. Naturally, with the treasure-hunting rat leading the way, their goal was very clear.
Not long after, they heard some movement in the woods, and they went closer to take a look.
"Oh my God! There are so many poisonous insects!" Aunt Shi exclaimed and quickly covered her mouth.
It was as if they were afraid that the poisonous insects would hear them and turn around to bite them.
"They seem to be attracted by something and flock in the same direction."
Jiang Changle's expression turned serious. Generally speaking, anything involving poisonous insects was not a good thing.
And bad things usually mean danger and sacrifice.
The only thing to be thankful for at the moment is that the villages near Aunt Shi have not suffered any unusual losses.
"Poisonous insects are usually related to witchcraft. Could this be the work of the Miao people?"
Shui Xing expressed his guess, fearing that the Miao Kingdom was dissatisfied with the control of the Fourth Princess of the Eastern Dynasty, so it resorted to evil means to resist.
After all, the Western Kingdom is governed by a big country, while Jiang Changle is just a princess. A small country should also have some face, right?
"Follow up and have a look."
Jiang Changle continued to advance, and fortunately those poisonous insects were very fast, so the group quickly followed him to the deep pit.
There were insects coming from all directions and falling into it, and the closer they were to the pit, the crazier the insects became, biting and wrestling with each other.
Then a pile of insect corpses were left on the ground, and the living ones continued to fall into the deep pit. The biting in the deep pit became more severe, and the scene made people's scalps numb.
"There is demonic energy." Fire Qilin sniffed and spit out three words.
Jiang Changle and the others didn't realize it, "This setup looks like a large-scale Gu refining field. With such large-scale manipulation, I'm afraid the Gu King that will be produced will be quite formidable.
Could it be that those people from the upper realm did this? Or is the Miao Kingdom actually connected to the demon clan?"
After the Miao Kingdom was handed over to Jiang Changle by the Western Kingdom, she learned something special about it.
It is a small country with some capabilities, but it is sandwiched between two big countries, bullied by the Eastern Dynasty and exploited by the Western Dynasty, and its daily life is very miserable.
Look at how even the Miao witch had to marry Zhou Fugui. You can imagine how helpless the Miao people were.
If they turn evil, it would make sense for them to do anything excessive.
"It's hard to say. It's not difficult for certain things to infiltrate, and it's also possible that some people have secret techniques to cultivate magic power.
In short, this kind of harmful thing must be eliminated, otherwise it won’t be long before the movement here will endanger the nearby villages.
The demonic energy grows very quickly. "Fire Qilin has dealt with demons many times and is very familiar with their characteristics.
But now he can only give suggestions, but cannot directly eliminate those poisonous insects, let alone eliminate the evil spirit. The rest depends entirely on Jiang Changle himself.
"Oh, this is not that simple. Demonic energy and spiritual energy counteract each other. Let me set up a formation.
Aunt Shi, it's dangerous here. You and I should go back first. There's a lot of open saltpeter in this area.
After I clean up these bugs, we'll come back to mine."
Jiang Changle is good at killing insects. The Jiang family workshop has been refining pesticides for a long time, and the zombies in Jiusan County were purified with spiritual spring water.
I think the poisonous insects here are the same. At worst, she can just add a lot of spiritual spring water to the pesticide.
"Okay, Princess, please be careful. If anything happens, give me a signal. I'll be waiting for you at the entrance. You must come out early. If I can't wait, I'll go to the city to find someone to come over."
Aunt Shi believed that Jiang Changle was very capable, but she was too weak, and staying here would only be a hindrance to the princess.
But there were too many poisonous insects, and some kind of demonic energy that I had never heard of seemed very scary.
If the Fourth Princess was defeated, she would have to run back quickly to report the news and call for support from the army in the city.
"Okay, hurry up and leave. We'll be out soon."
It can only be said that Jiang Changle is the nemesis of insects. After Aunt Shi and her husband left, Jiang Changle took out the sprayer and pesticide from the space, and mixed them with thick spiritual spring water.
Then give Shui Xing and Huo Qilin a sprayer each.
"But to prevent the bugs from running around, we need to set up a formation to trap them first."
Jiang Changle had plenty of materials for the formation in his space, and several of them were able to fly, so setting up the formation was quite simple.
Of course, it is also easy to kill insects with a sprayer.
In such a big and deep pit, countless densely packed insects were sprayed with added pesticides and died quickly.
Even the insects hiding in the lower layers are penetrated by the pesticides as evenly as rain, and eventually die.
At this time, who cares whether it is the Gu King or not, everyone will die anyway.
In a cave, a man in black who was meditating suddenly spat out blood from his heart, as if he had been attacked by something.
His hair turned from black to white at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His once young and strong body quickly shrank and became hunched, turning him into a frail old man.
