Chapter 254 Gold-eating ants, secretly deal! 【34, please subscribe】
Second day
Crimson Red Sect Mountain Gate
In the palace courtyard, the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.
Since Gong Shaoyu's death, the Gong family has been in a turmoil for a while, and the atmosphere of the whole family has become very dull, so that the servants who serve have become cautious, for fear that if they make a big move, they will cause disaster.
Early in the morning, a servant walked quickly into the backyard.
Said to Xu Rushan, the fat steward who was admonishing the maids: "The steward, there is a letter from your hometown."
"Well! Let's go!"
Xu Rushan took the envelope and waved his hand to signal the crowd to disperse.
His hometown is in Yongning County, a few hundred miles away, and there are many poor relatives in the family, who occasionally write letters, so he is not surprised.
But open the envelope and take a look!
He couldn't help but tremble all over, subconsciously glanced around, and after making sure no one noticed him, he quickly went back to his room to take a closer look!
This is not a letter from home at all!
There is only a piece of letter paper and a 1,000 denomination spirit stone ticket inside!
The letter paper contained evidence of Xu Rushan's embezzlement of the palace family's property, stating that if he didn't want the incident to be exposed, he had better find a way to get gold-eating ants to send to Xishan City, and then he would be rewarded with two thousand spirit stones.
"Gold-eating ants?" Xu Rushan looked complicated.
He naturally knows what a gold-eating ants are.
Gong Shaoyu treasured this brood of gold-eating ants like something before his death. Since he hadn't successfully domesticated it, he was usually taken care of by his family's servants, and he had to feed a large amount of precious minerals every day.
Recently, because of Gong Shaoyu's accident, even the Queen Ant died suddenly on the spot!
Now a nest of gold-eating ants are fighting each other every day, they are divided into dozens of groups to bite and gnaw on each other, so many people were killed or injured.
Xu Rushan was worrying about how to deal with it.
Now someone actually wants this nest of gold-eating ants?
"Who is this person?" Xu Rushan murmured with an ugly face.
The other party is threatening with one hand and lured with the other.
There is no room for him to resist at all!
Either choose to take the spirit stone, or choose to be unlucky, Xu Rushan is inevitably entangled now!
"Made, whoever he is!" Xu Rushan gritted his teeth and pondered: "If I get three thousand spirit stones, I can live a comfortable life when I go far away, so why should I still be a cow in the Gong family? Moreover, there are a lot of gold-eating ants, and the other party didn't ask to take all of them away, so if I steal a batch, no one will be able to find it!"
He hesitated for a moment in his heart, and finally made the right choice.
at dusk!
Xu Rushan walked towards the back mountain of the other courtyard with his hands behind his back as usual.
There is a dry cave here, and thousands of thumb-sized, dark golden gold-eating ants are being raised in the cave.
They look like enlarged versions of black ants, with pairs of wings growing on their backs, and they fly very fast, like afterimages flying in the air.
Now is feeding time!
Several young men carried baskets of ore and threw them into the cave.
These gold-eating ants rushed towards them, gnawing at stones and metals with their sharp mouthparts, making buzzing gnawing sounds.
Occasionally, there are several waves of gold-eating ants fighting!
From time to time, some gold-eating ants are killed and eaten by the same kind!
"Guangshi Xu, look at it!" A boy said with a sad face, "These gold-eating ants are fighting non-stop every day, and they are also very irritable and irritable. Now we have headaches every day, and we are afraid that they will be bitten by them when we are feeding." Well, you should come up with an idea to arrange them."
"Can you discuss this?" Xu Rushan scolded in dissatisfaction: "This is Master Yu's treasure. The Patriarch is in grief after losing his beloved son. Which one of you has the ability to use this thing to stimulate him?"
"Well?"
"Let's feed it first!" Xu Rushan said in a calm tone, "After a while, the Patriarch's mood calms down, and I will ask which young master these gold-eating ants will be handed over to. Anyway, you have to do your best to take care of them. OK them, understand?"
"yes!"
The boys respectfully agreed.
"Go, get some more ore over here." Xu Rushan waved his hands and said: "Maybe they will stop making noise after eating and drinking enough!"
"yes!"
The boys respectfully retreated and did so.
Xu Rushan saw that there was no one around, and took out a jade gourd from the storage bag.
This is a wine gourd made of ice blood jade. It can not only chill drinks, but also temporarily hold these gold-eating ants.
Once the gold-eating ants enter the jade gourd!
When they feel the low temperature, they will fall into a deep sleep and stop making noise.
Unless they are too hungry to wake up, they will sleep forever, which can be said to be the best container for holding gold-eating ants for a short time.
Of course, if you want to contain gold-eating ants for a long time!
I'm afraid you have to find the legendary animal control bag and insect control bag. Only this kind of special space magic weapon that can store living things is suitable for their long-term survival.
Xu Rushan didn't talk nonsense when he took out the jade gourd!
Immediately raised his hand and grabbed it, a slightly larger gold-eating ant was sucked by his palm made of spiritual power, and then stuffed into the jade gourd.
He didn't scratch randomly!
During this time, Xu Rushan has been paying attention to the gold-eating ants.
Since the death of the queen ant, they have divided into more than a dozen groups and started fighting among themselves.
Each group is a slightly larger gold-eating ants, leading their own group of swarming younger brothers to fight with other gold-eating ants. Without external interference, this kind of fighting does not know how long it will last, and finally it will be decided. A real queen ant.
Xu Rushan caught one of the more than a dozen golden-eating ants. It failed in many struggles, and many younger brothers died, leaving only a hundred or so.
When Xu Rushan took it away!
Its younger brothers, gold-eating ants, rushed into the jade gourd one after another.
After a while, more than a hundred gold-eating ants were filled in the jade gourd, and just when the gourd was full, they also fell into a deep sleep.
"hehe!"
Xu Rushan smiled in satisfaction, swaggered away with the jade gourd in his hand.
Among the thousands of gold-eating ants, more than a hundred are missing, no one will find it at all, and even if there are a few found, they will be killed among each other. What the hell?
Now he walked down the mountain gate with the jade gourd, and no one had the slightest doubt.
"Guan Xu, where are you going down the mountain?"
"Hey, what good wine are you carrying here? Have a drink together when you have time!"
Along the way, familiar disciples of the Scarlet Red Sect greeted each other with smiles.
Xu Rushan waved his hands and blamed: "Go, go, I am busy working as a cow and a horse every day, how can I have time to drink? Let's talk when I have time!"
After finishing speaking, he stood up with his sword as usual!
He went directly to Xishan City, and was not obstructed or interrogated during the period.
Before it got dark, he found an inconspicuous courtyard in the west of Xishan City. There was a strange pattern of ghost symbols drawn on the gate, but Xu Rushan recognized its mark at a glance.
He didn't see anyone after pushing the door open!
On the stone table in the small courtyard are two 1,000 Lingshi tickets!
Xu Rushan struggled for a long time, and finally kept the jade gourd and took the spirit stone ticket.
A transaction was completed so silently!
