Chapter 102 My ring
This night, most of the farms outside of Sheshou Town were invaded by crypt army ants, destroying countless Physalis Blood Spirit Fruits.
Fortunately, the Mylabris Legion attacked in time, and finally drove the crypt marching ants away before all the Physalis Blood Spirit Fruits were destroyed.
"It's terrible!" Sally hugged her two children, trembling with fright.
The five little ones lingered at the gate of the villa, making low-pitched whining and roaring sounds, and the remaining breath of the 3-ring spirit insects outside made them uneasy.
Levin scratched his scalp and looked at the dark farmland: "With so many big ants crawling over, will the farmland collapse?"
Duke signaled several people to stay in the villa: "I'll go outside to ask about the situation, don't run around, be careful of the army ants in the burrow and come back."
The patrolling knights of the Black Snake family, as well as many mercenary groups who heard the news, huddled together on the other side of the river.
Duke held a knight: "I am the farmer of Little Duke Farm. What's going on tonight? How did the crypt army ants invade my farm?"
"Are you a farmer?" The knight glanced at Duke suspiciously, a little unconvinced that he became a farmer at such a young age. "We are also investigating the matter. Now that the crypt army ants have been repelled, you can go back to sleep with peace of mind."
"Are you sure you won't attack again?"
"Do you want to come again?"
"How can it be."
"Then go back to sleep." The knight waved impatiently.
Duke didn't bother him when he saw this, and quickly grabbed another patrolling knight and asked, "How's the loss on the Xiaohewan side? I saw that the house on the Susk farm was burned down. Are there heavy casualties?"
"Dead, all the people on the farm are dead." The knight replied.
"ah!"
Duke was very shocked. Among the many farmers in Xiaohewan, Susk would occasionally wander over to Little Duke's farm and chat nonsense with him.
Unexpectedly, everyone in the Susk farm died overnight.
He can kill enemies without blinking his eyes, but he can't be indifferent to the death of familiar people.
Buzz buzz!
There were groups of acid mylabris flying by in the sky, telling about the battle that just happened. There were also many mercenaries passing by with a smile on their shoulders carrying the corpses of crypt army ants.
The joys and sorrows of people are not connected.
Duke personally went to the Sask farm. The house was completely destroyed by the fire. In addition to the workers who were engulfed by the flames, there were also several broken corpses on the open space of the farm. These were workers who were not in the house and were directly killed by burrow army ants.
Sask himself had been buried in the flames, and Duke couldn't even find his body.
"Development wars always lead to death. Those who die are not necessarily the frontline mercenaries and knights, but also small town residents like us." A fairly familiar farmer also came to the Sask farm and sighed beside Duke.
Duke nodded slowly and asked, "Are there any casualties on your farm?"
"No, we all hid in the house, even the dogs were pulled into the house, but a few sheep raised in the pen were killed."
"It would be nice if Boss Susk hid too."
"No one could have guessed what was going on at the time. Maybe Susk loved his farm so much that he would go out and check whenever there was a sign of trouble... I heard that there were several farms that were unable to escape in time, and were attacked by big ants."
"To be honest, I don't quite understand why the crypt army ants invaded the farm, and how did they know that the Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit is a threat to them?"
The farmer is very old, looking at the moonlight in the sky at a 45-degree angle: "Perhaps, it is spirituality that guides them... Spirituality will not only guide us humans, but also guide all natural things. After all...we are invading their homes."
When he returned to the villa and fell asleep again, Duke still couldn't calm down.
It was still echoing in my mind that through the scope, I saw the fire on the Susk farm, and the owner of the Susk farm was buried in the flames.
And the words of the old farmer—"This is war."
The war between human beings and spirit beasts, the war between human beings and spirit beasts for habitats. Human beings can attack spirit beasts, and spirit beasts can naturally also attack humans.
He couldn't sleep.
Put on his clothes, hurried downstairs, and entered Ming's basement.
In the basement lay quietly the corpses of two large ants with a length of 50 centimeters. In addition to bullet holes, there were also spots corroded by acid on the corpses.
War, death.
Duke closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Xiao Yi, stop hanging up on "Field Meditation."
After Xiaoyi stopped, he took the initiative to practice "Field Meditation".
In the sea of spirits, the energy lines of life and death are constantly forming three kinds of cultivation visions: wildflowers, wheat, and branches. Surrounding the nine rings of Xiaoyi and one ring of sand eagles, they occupy a large area in the center of the sea of spirits.
Accompanied by ongoing meditations by Duke himself.
In addition to wild flowers, wheat, and branches, a fourth vision suddenly appeared, which was black ants.
It is not big in size, but it looks exactly the same as the crypt army ants. It quickly crawls out of the energy line, climbs up wild flowers, wheat, and branches. The dense ants continue to crawl on the vision, becoming a new vision.
This was undoubtedly an epiphany.
After this epiphany, the speed of absorbing free spiritual particles around has been further accelerated.
But Duke’s epiphany did not end. He was still meditating continuously. The visions of wild flowers, wheat, branches and ants became vaguely agitated, and the energy lines continued to split and expand, and began to extend outside the central area of the spiritual sea.
Different from the continuous combination and splitting of the energy lines before, this time after the energy lines are combined, they seem to no longer break.
Instead, it continues to extend.
The extended area is getting bigger and bigger, and the speed is getting faster and faster.
I don’t know how long it has passed. Duke, who is addicted to meditation, can no longer perceive it. He just follows the energy line in the spiritual sea and continues to extend to the mysterious spiritual sea of stars. The endless spiritual sea represents endless extension.
In the end, he was not able to extend the energy line to the end of the spiritual sea.
Because in the end, the speed at which the energy line extends has surpassed the concept of thought, and it seems that the entire spiritual sea is lit up for a moment.
This boundless energy line was also lit up in the spiritual sea, followed by the dimming of the spiritual sea again, and then dissipated.
But Duke clearly felt that his control over his own spiritual sea had been completely improved.
When his mind returned, he saw that in the center of the spiritual sea, there were no more wild flowers, wheat, branches and ants, but only a mysterious circle, which kept turning in circles.
It is much smaller than Jiuhuan Xiaoyi and Yihuan Sandying, and the light is not very bright.
But at a glance, Duke couldn't take the focus of his eyes away from it, as if this dim ring was the center of the entire spiritual sea.
Actually.
It is indeed the center of Linghai.
"This is...my... ring!" Duke suddenly opened his eyes, uncontrollably excited.
