What are locusts afraid of?

Lin Zhensheng doesn't know anything else, but he must be afraid of fire and smoke.

Originally, he wanted to build a big bonfire, which would not burn them to death and the thick smoke could drive them away. However, it was a bit dangerous to do this in a straw shed and could easily harm the pond fish.

Then make a fire smoke barrel.

I rummaged through the entire workbench and found the only thing that could hold fire, a wooden barrel.

Lin Zhensheng bought the finished product directly at the workbench. When he took it out, he found that the inside of the log was hollowed out, with a top and bottom diameter of 30cm and a height of 26cm.

Isn’t this just a footbath?

Can it also be called a "bucket"?

Lin Zhensheng made simple gestures. It was a little small, but it worked.

He also wants to get a big iron barrel, but the territory level is not enough. The items unlocked in the workbench are basically made of hay bales as raw materials, and wooden barrels are already high-end products.

"Then come on!"

The wooden barrel was piled with hay, and the fire stick (bought at the workbench) was lit. The fire suddenly shot out so high that it almost burned my eyebrows.

No, this hay is too dry, there is only fire but no smoke.

The sound of "rustling" was so close that Lin Zhensheng didn't allow Lin Zhensheng to think too much. He cursed in a hurry: "Bleach!", turned around and pulled down his trousers to the hay bale.

Shhhh

Oh{{|0.0|}}~~~~

He turned around and stuffed the soaked hay into the barrel. Thick smoke immediately surged up and rolled into the hay shed.

"Cough cough cough cough."

Everyone was coughing and their eyes were so hot that they couldn't open their eyes. That couldn't stop Lin Zhensheng from making a second one.

In the blink of an eye, the four fire smoke barrels were completed.

At this time, no one could be seen in the entire hay shed.

The locust gnawed through the wooden partition, but it never expected that it would be like this inside. Before it could get in, the smoke came out first.

White smoke floated out from each small hole, rolling up repeatedly, making the surrounding fairyland flutter. From a distance, one would have thought there was a big incense burner sitting in it.

"Cough cough cough, cough~ cough cough."

"I can't do it anymore."

It’s so serious outside, let alone inside the straw shed.

Lin Zhensheng felt like he was like smoked preserved fish. He couldn't bear it even if he covered his mouth and nose. There was no distinction between humans and animals within half a meter, and it was very difficult to even breathe.

The citizens followed suit and suffered greatly from it. Tears flowed uncontrollably and their faces turned red from holding back.

If this continues, the locusts will not leave, but they will leave first.

"Open all the partitions."

As soon as Lin Zhensheng finished speaking, six wooden partitions with holes in them instantly dispersed. The white smoke suddenly spread freely, spreading around like a small mushroom cloud, and the smoke filled the air.

The locusts were indeed afraid of the smoke and fled one after another.

Only then did everyone have a chance to breathe.

Upon seeing this, Lin Zhensheng arranged the fire smoke bucket outside the hay shed to expand the area of ​​​​the smoke, and he and others also relaxed.

Only then did I realize that the straw shed was no longer a straw shed.

No one on the roof or wooden partitions was spared, and all were killed. The four pillars were chewed away three times.

That's a tragedy.

Citizens kept putting hay and wood into the barrels, the fire became bigger and bigger, and the smoke became thinner and thinner.

I wanted to buy some water to pour on it, but there was none on the market.

Lin Zhensheng stood in front of the only complete workbench, looking at the locusts that appeared and disappeared in the sky outside the smoke, feeling that it was difficult to end well.

He simply lit the pillars with burning wood.

The four pillars were already riddled with holes, but the wind helped the fire and ignited instantly. The flames were three feet high, black smoke billowed in the sky, and there was a pungent burning smell.

"Gnaw!"

"I'll treat you to a birthday cake. Do you dare to blow out the candles?"

Lin Zhensheng climbed onto the workbench, waved a torch, and roared deafeningly: "Come on!"

The king's demeanor burst out, attracting citizens' red eyes and blood. They formed a circle around the workbench back to back, like a two-layer cake filled with candles, illuminating and burning menacing locusts.

When one is lit, there will be a second one.

In just ten seconds, it was like stars in the sky or like meteors passing by. Even if it was blocked by white fog, you could see it clearly.

Lin Zhensheng knew in his heart that the locusts could not get close if there was smoke and fire. But once the situation moved forward, it would be difficult to predict.

In about ten minutes, the wood and hay bales were exhausted, the white smoke was quietly disappearing, and the outline of the sun was already visible.

Just when everyone was getting ready to fight, the number of locusts in the air was visibly reduced.

"...gone."

Lin Zhensheng's heart trembled, and he dared not let go of the lump in his throat. He was afraid that the locust would come back again.

When the large army of locusts has passed through, a small number of remaining locusts follow closely behind, taking advantage of the wind and disappearing into the sky.

Lin Zhensheng took a long breath and couldn't hide the smile on his lips.

It’s really gone!!!

Damn it!

If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. I survived.

When the sun returns to the earth, it is as intoxicating as a saint's gauze. It not only illuminates the entire grassland, ah no, the entire bald land, but also warms Lin Zhensheng's heart.

It's finally over.

Great.

Lin Zhensheng relaxed instantly and leaned on the workbench with a silly smile.

【Ding】

【Danger removed】

[Reward: Territory Core 1]

Huh? What is this?

Lin Zhenchuan took it out from the territory warehouse with doubts.

Gray translucent crystal, very hard on the outside, with a mist-like fluid in the core, floating and unpredictable.

Territory Core: The only prop used to improve the territory level.

Upgrade props.

Lin Zhensheng was not excited by this. Instead, he pursed his lips and looked uncertain.

If [Danger Alert] is the only way to obtain [Territorial Core], then I will give away 30 million to the planner.

Don't make a sound, don't show your face, and don't let me catch you.

Damn it, let alone the straw shed, it’s just too miserable to look at.

The prairie, which used to be green and green, is now barren as far as the eye can see, and it is as bare as the Gobi Desert after being gnawed by locusts.

The most irritating thing is that I have a gray face and a smell of charcoal fire. I am built like a refugee. If you don’t give me one hundred and eighty thousand, I will forget it. In the end, I will have to lose the core of the territory.

That’s it?

Huh?

Lin Zhensheng finally took note of this matter.

I am nothing now, I have no choice, you waited for me to get up, I...

"I want to be a great lord, as big as the sky!"

As the roar falls, upgrade the territory.

A light blue light flashed, and the severely damaged straw shed was reconstructed and restored to its previous appearance.

[Your territory has been successfully upgraded to Level 2.]

[You have unlocked new building blueprints: grass walls, grass carpets, simple water purification filters, earth stoves...]

【Your profile has been updated.】

Lin Zhensheng message immediately.

[Lord: Lin Zhensheng]

[Territory Level: Level 1 Grass Hut]

【Population: 13 people】

Except for the change in level, everything else remains the same.

Open the workbench and you will indeed unlock a lot of new blueprints. In addition to practical items such as grass walls and clay pots, there are also many useless ones, such as: pottery vases, grass footballs, and scarecrows.

For a moment, he didn't know the significance of these three people appearing here.

But Lin Zhensheng didn't think too much, it was better than nothing.

Just when he was about to lie down on the ground and rest for a while, a blue box popped up in front of him again.

【Ding】
Chapter completed!
