Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 451 Raising Scorpions in the Insect Valley? I Can't Do It!

Those who used to raise poisonous insects are now raising scorpions.

This also reflects the decline of the spiritual practice community today.

However, this also opened Xu Yue's mind.

If scorpions were raised using traditional farming methods and the same methods as those used for raising Gu worms, then even if we don't raise Gu worms, the scorpions we raise would at least be better, right?

If the quality is better, then its medicinal and edible value will inevitably increase.

However, there is no rush.

Let's deal with those poisonous insects first.

After Xu Yue and his companion disembarked from the plane, they immediately took a helicopter to their destination.

"You should be faster than this helicopter right now, right?"

On the plane, Jing Guohua asked Xu Yue about him.

Xu Yue's escape technique is very fast, but his sword-riding speed is probably even faster.

"It consumes a lot."

Xu Yue nodded and said.

His speed is indeed faster than a helicopter, but whether he is flying on a sword or using a teleportation technique, it consumes a lot of energy.

It can't last very long; at least it doesn't have the endurance of a helicopter.

His flight distance is not very far yet.

It is still somewhat difficult to fly from Sichuan to Yunnan.

Once my cultivation level advances further, perhaps there won't be any problems.

Perhaps one day, you will be able to reach any place in the world instantly with just a thought.

However, that's still a long way off.

Helicopters are quite fast.

Before long, we arrived at our destination.

The surrounding area is a mountain forest.

Many people are using modern technology to repel insects, or rather, to create artificial isolation points in order to keep those poisonous insects in the mountains and forests and prevent them from coming out.

"Has Master Miao discovered anything?"

Jing Guohua spoke to a dark-skinned man in his forties.

This person must be the one whose ancestor was a Gu master and who is now a professional scorpion farmer.

“Director Jing, I just arrived, what could I possibly find?” Miao Shiwen said. “However, according to ancestral legend, there is a valley in those mountains where a major sect once raised Gu poison. The locals call it the Valley of Insects, and even cultivators dare not enter it. If they do, they are almost certainly going to die.”

"You mean the poisonous insects are rampant, and the problem lies in that insect valley?" Jing Guohua frowned and said, "Is there a solution?"

"It's highly likely that something's wrong with Insect Valley," Miao Shiwen said. "We'll have to go inside and see for ourselves what the problem is."

"Is it possible that something powerful has emerged in the Insect Valley, and these poisonous insects are afraid of it?"

Xu Yue suddenly spoke.

He scanned the mountains and forests with his divine sense, and the deeper he went, the more poisonous insects he found.

In one valley, countless poisonous insects seemed to be fleeing out of the valley.

Xu Yue also sensed a faint aura within the valley.

That aura must be the reason why those poisonous insects fled the valley.

“It’s possible!” Miao Shiwen’s eyes lit up when he heard this, but his expression was very serious. He said, “If that’s the case, then we’re in big trouble.”

"Why?"

Jing Guohua quickly asked.

"The reason why so many poisonous insects gather in Insect Valley is because the valley contains the nutrients that poisonous insects need," Miao Shiwen said. "Those poisonous insects also retain some characteristics of Gu insects. They are prey to the weak, and the closer you get to the center of the valley, the more powerful the poisonous insects become. The fact that so many poisonous insects are emerging from Insect Valley probably means that an Insect King is about to be born in Insect Valley."

"Insect King?"

Xu Yue was somewhat surprised, yet also seemed somewhat relieved.

"Can your divine sense reach the Insect Valley?"

Seeing Xu Yue's expression, Jing Guohua seemed to have thought of something and immediately asked.

The two were old friends, and Jing Guohua naturally knew Xu Yue well.

“I can sense an aura gradually strengthening in that valley,” Xu Yue said. “That aura is probably the reason why those poisonous insects fled the valley. Moreover, as that aura strengthens, the poisonous insects that fled the valley may become more and more ferocious.”

Spiritual consciousness?

Worm Valley?

Miao Shiwen looked at Xu Yue with some shock.

Although his cultivation level was not high, he was not an ignorant person.

He had a general idea of ​​how far this place was from the Insect Valley.

He could actually sense what was happening inside the insect valley.

How high must this person's cultivation level be?

The person Jing Guohua invited was definitely not someone who was just filling a position; he must have real skills.

"A true Insect King has been born?" Miao Shiwen couldn't help but exclaim. "How is that possible! In this world today, how could an Insect King still be born?"

Xu Yue and Jing Guohua exchanged a glance, seemingly understanding each other.

The revival of the dragon vein in Taoyuan Village is clearly not an isolated case.

The Insect Valley may also show signs of recovery.

If it could be used as a breeding ground for Gu poison by a major sect in ancient times, then it must have something special about it.

"Do you know something?"

Seeing the expressions on Xu Yue and Jing Guohua's faces, Miao Shiwen asked in surprise.

“There was once a dragon vein in Peach Blossom Village that was gathering energy, and it may be reviving,” Jing Guohua said. “Since the Insect Valley can be used as a place for major sects to raise Gu, it must be special. Perhaps it is also recovering, so the appearance of the so-called Insect King seems reasonable.”

"recovery?"

Miao Shiwen muttered something to himself, but his eyes lit up.

"Master Miao, is there any way to get rid of these fleeing poisonous insects?" Jing Guohua asked. "If we kill the soon-to-be-born insect king, will these poisonous insects be able to return to Insect Valley?"

“If it is truly a resurgence, then we are in big trouble. Even if we kill that insect king, a new insect king will be born.” Miao Shiwen said, “Moreover, even if we kill that insect king, we can only stop the poisonous insects in the valley from escaping, but we cannot attract the poisonous insects that have escaped back.”

“I should be able to lure those poisonous insects into the Insect Valley,” Xu Yue said. “Then the problem now is how to prevent those poisonous insects from escaping the Insect Valley.”

Luring poisonous insects into the valley?
Miao Shiwen glanced at Xu Yue with some surprise, but didn't suspect anything.

Although the other party is young, their cultivation level is astonishing.

He was the strong ally that Jing Guohua had invited.

Jing Guohua is a fourth-level expert!

Then this young man is at least at the fourth realm.

Jing Guohua and Xu Yue both looked at Miao Shiwen.

In the world of raising Gu (a type of poisonous insect), how could one succeed without some skill?

Xu Yue was even certain that Miao Shiwen should have some connection with the major sect that raised Gu in the Insect Valley.

If a major sect can raise Gu worms in a valley, then it must have a way to prevent those poisonous insects from leaving the valley.

“I have a formation that can trap those poisonous insects within a certain area,” Miao Shiwen said. “However, with my current cultivation level, the formation I set up is simply not enough to cover the entire Insect Valley. The Insect Valley is too big.”

Upon hearing this, Jing Guohua looked at Xu Yue.

“Farmers have both insect-attracting arrays and insect-repelling arrays,” Xu Yue said. “Insect-attracting arrays should be able to lure the poisonous insects that have run out of the valley back, but whether they can prevent the poisonous insects from running out in the first place is another matter. As for insect-repelling arrays, they probably don’t use them much.”

"Master Miao, how about this?" Xu Yue said to Miao Shiwen, "I'll exchange my farmer's insect-attracting and insect-repelling arrays for your insect-trapping array?"

A trapping array for insects?
This formation was actually not very useful to Xu Yue.

The farm mainly uses insect repellent arrays.

Of course, this doesn't mean there are no bugs on the farm.

The pests that are usually driven away are insects.

Actually, farmers also have another type of insect-killing array.

It's a formation for killing insects. However, Xu Yue hardly ever used it.

“No need to exchange it,” Miao Shiwen said. “You’re probably just trying to solve the problem of poisonous insects, right? It won’t hurt to give you that formation. It’s not very useful now. I don’t even use it to raise scorpions.”

"Actually, I'd like to collaborate with Master Miao," Xu Yue said. "What do you think about us contracting out that Insect Valley and raising scorpions there? Would that be profitable?"

Upon hearing this, Miao Shiwen stared at Xu Yue in disbelief.

Are you raising livestock in Insect Valley?

Are you out of your mind, or do you think you have too much life left?
Even when the major sect was around, its disciples would avoid the Insect Valley like the plague.

Where do you want to start your aquaculture business?

Are you too confident, or do you overestimate me?

I wouldn't dare.

“I forgot to introduce him to you, this is Xu Yue from Taoyuan Village,” Jing Guohua said. “He also does animal husbandry. However, besides aquaculture, he also raises poultry and livestock. He also owns Taoyuan Pharmaceutical, which has a demand for scorpions and other venomous insects.”

It was him!

Although Miao Shiwen was a farmer, he was also a practitioner of spiritual cultivation, so how could he not have heard of Xu Yue's name?

Taoyuan Farm is naturally a household name.

He naturally knew about things on the farm.

“Cooperative scorpion farming is no problem,” Miao Shiwen said. “However, I don’t have the skills to raise them in the Insect Valley. There’s a big difference between raising Gu and raising venomous insects. Not to mention I don’t have the skills to raise them in the Insect Valley, even if I did, it’s not a suitable place for farming. I’d probably lose everything there.”

Xu Yue was speechless upon hearing this.

A place suitable for raising gu (poisonous insects) may not be suitable for breeding them.

How are Gu (a type of poisonous insect) raised?

I had heard of Xu Yue to some extent.

If you throw in too many scorpions, and only one grows up, wouldn't you lose everything?
Besides, raising scorpions in the valley is not really that convenient.

There are safety issues, and there are also problems with transportation.

The key point is that even Miao Shiwen doesn't dare to go to the Insect Valley, so ordinary people would be even less likely to go.

"Put your joint breeding project on hold for now," Jing Guohua said. "Let's get these things sorted out first."

As Jing Guohua spoke, he stomped on a poisonous snake and killed it.

They have it here.

If everyone nearby hadn't been evacuated, who knows how many more people would have been harmed by these poisonous insects.

"I need to go back for a bit," Miao Shiwen said. "I need to go back and retrieve the insect-trapping formation."

“Alright!” Xu Yue said, “Then I’ll lure the poisonous insects around here back to the Insect Valley first. Then I’ll set up the insect-attracting array and the insect-repelling array for you.”

This time, Miao Shiwen didn't refuse; instead, he nodded.

He was still quite interested in the insect-attracting and insect-repelling arrays.

"How do we kill the Insect King?" Miao Shiwen suddenly asked. "Going to the Insect Valley is probably very dangerous. Although you have high cultivation levels, those poisonous insects are extremely wild and difficult to defend against."

"Killing him is easy."

Jing Guohua looked at Xu Yue, but Xu Yue just smiled faintly.

Miao Shiwen didn't ask any more questions, but hurriedly went back to get his things.

"How to kill?"

Jing Guohua did not doubt that Xu Yue could kill the thing that was about to become the insect king, but he was curious about the methods Xu Yue used to kill it.

“I could kill it right here,” Xu Yue said. “However, I’m still very curious about the Insect King. Let’s go to Insect Valley and take a look.”

"it is good!"

Jing Guohua nodded, and then followed Xu Yue to the Insect Valley.

As for the others, they were not allowed to accompany them.

Too dangerous.

They don't want to have to take care of other people as well.

As for the two of them, they were naturally not afraid of those poisonous insects.

Even if they didn't have protective talismans, with their cultivation level, those poisonous insects couldn't harm them.

Even if they were injured, the poison wouldn't have much of an effect on them.

We continued our journey towards the Insect Valley.

The more metallurgical plants are removed from the industry, the more poisonous insects will appear.

In some places, they are so densely packed that most people would probably develop trypophobia upon seeing them.

"Exaggerated!"

Xu Yue couldn't help but say something.

There are just too many poisonous insects.

He felt that even someone with the cultivation level of the third realm would likely die if they came here, let alone an ordinary person.

If I hadn't been there, Jing Guohua would have been in danger.

"That's definitely an exaggeration!"

Jing Guohua seemed to be going deep into the area for the first time as well, his brows furrowed as he looked around.

“Actually, you should be glad,” Xu Yue said. “If a King Insect hadn’t been born first, scaring these poisonous insects out of the Insect Valley, things would have been much more interesting once the Insect Valley fully recovered.”

With the revival of the Insect Valley, those poisonous insects will inevitably find their way.

If they all grow up and then erupt, the problem will be many times more serious.

"Early detection and early treatment are crucial," Jing Guohua said. "Or, as you said before, this kind of thing is not an isolated case, and we need to pay attention to it."

Xu Yue nodded.

The Insect Valley is located deep in the mountains, quite a distance from their camp.

However, Xu Yue and his companion were on their way.

Xu Yue's aura was so powerful that the poisonous insects all avoided him wherever he went, so it didn't delay anything.

"fear!"

Upon arriving outside the valley and looking into it, Jing Guohua felt a chill run down his spine and finally couldn't help but blurt out.

“It is indeed quite terrifying!” Xu Yue said. “The poisonous insects that cannot resist the aura of the Insect King are all weak, while those that remain in this valley are naturally strong.”

“Your aura is likely becoming increasingly intimidating to the poisonous insects in the valley,” Jing Guohua said. “If all else fails, just use missiles. Don’t take any risks. I can’t afford to take responsibility if anything happens to you.”

The poisonous insects in this valley are very dangerous; if all else fails, we should exterminate them.

However, that was something we had no choice but to know in the end.

If the Insect Valley is really blown up, those fleeing poisonous insects will probably be even harder to deal with.

“I could kill that insect king in the camp, let alone here at the edge of the insect valley,” Xu Yue said. “Those poisonous insects can’t hurt me, nor will they. If I release all my aura, that insect king will probably run far away.”

"Kill the insect king first, then lure those poisonous insects back?"

Jing Guohua spoke.

That's a question that's actually a rhetorical one.

Those poisonous insects that escaped were influenced by the aura of the insect king and fled in fear.

Its presence is still there, so how could those poisonous insects have returned?
The insect-attracting array will definitely be affected.

Jing Guohua asked this question because he wanted to see how Xu Yue would kill the insect king.

Because of the flying sword?
Do you need it?

Xu Yue had never actually considered using a flying sword.

That insect king was extremely poisonous, and he didn't want his flying sword to be contaminated with any poison.

"It's a scorpion?"

Xu Yue looked towards the valley and said with some surprise.

"Do you think this thing is useful for scorpion farming?"

Xu Yue looked at Jing Guohua and couldn't help but ask a question.
