Chapter 65 - Side Effects
The offerings are not enough.
Lu Chengming wandered around the farm for a long time and only caught five big bugs.
In recent times, the number of Tyronworms influx into Jingzhou has increased. They cut down trees and preyed on insects. The giant insects in the jungle have decreased significantly.
Especially in the area south of the lake island, insects and people are crowded with frequent movements, making it difficult to pick up large cicadas at night.
The food that was originally the easiest to obtain is now almost extinct.
This is why the food supply problem in the 010 bunker becomes even more difficult.
"Oh, forget it..." Lu Chengming sighed at Tang Wan'er, "There are not enough sacrifices, so you can't take risks."
"Will you just let the people in the 010 bunker starve?" Tang Wan'er is not only upright, but also kind.
The local burger had sufficient food stocks, so she didn't have to take risks for a group of strangers.
Lu Chengming said lightly: "I'll think of other ways... Besides, this is not your responsibility..."
"This is not your responsibility..." Tang Wan'er smiled bitterly, "You have been taking risks for us, and I can't do anything... I just want to share some of it for you..."
Lu Chengming just shook his head.
"Chengming... weren't the sacrifices used in ancient times all livestock and slaves?" Bai Tingting suddenly spoke.
She insisted on following her to see the miracle.
"What do you mean?" Lu Chengming frowned slightly.
"Insect Man..." Bai Tingting quietly pointed to the group of insect slaves working on the farm.
Tang Wan'er immediately refused and said, "No! How can you kill someone!?"
Bai Tingting gritted her teeth, "The insects are not humans! You have never seen how they treat humans!"
"They are not Kern insects, and have never hurt humans..." Lu Chengming could understand Bai Tingting's hatred for the insects, but he did not want to kill these innocent slaves.
"No, they are all the same things!" Bai Tingting was excited and her eyes were red. "This creature has no human nature at all! It even eats people!"
Tang Wan'er looked at Lu Chengming in shock, "Really?"
Lu Chengming was not sure, but he felt that Kernzeng people could do it...
"Forget it, go back first." He sighed again.
"No, I still want to try it." Tang Wan'er refused to give up. "Five insects are also fine. It's better to produce as much food as possible than not."
"No." Lu Chengming disagreed.
Tang Wan'er shook the staff in her hand and persuaded: "If you want to master the power of the staff, you also need to practice. If I practice it a few more times, it will definitely become safer... Producing food is an extremely useful divine power, which is very important to humans in the end of the world!"
"Are you sure you can control the strength and range of spell casting?" Lu Chengming was still worried.
"It's almost the same..." Tang Wan'er pouted, "Anyway, I still need to practice... Isn't your magnetic field strength the better you practice?"
"Magnetic field force? What is this ability?" Bai Tingting heard it and became curious again.
Lu Chengming did not answer, but just focused on the matter of Muliya's staff.
What Tang Wan'er said makes sense. The divine power of Muliya plant civilization may determine the survival of humans in the end of the world.
Someone must learn and master this power. Even if it is not Tang Wan'er, she should hand over the staff to others...
"Don't hesitate, you underestimate me too much..." Tang Wan'er urged, "You'll finish collecting food soon!"
"Okay." Lu Chengming finally made up his mind, "Do as you can, and stop immediately when you find discomfort!"
Tang Wan'er smiled and nodded, "No problem!"
Lu Chengming ordered the insect slaves to leave the farmland, and Tang Wan'er began to awaken the divine power in the staff and extract the vitality of the sacrifice.
When Bai Tingting saw the giant insect being instantly drawn into black charcoal, she was so scared that she retreated repeatedly.
This time, Tang Wan'er is indeed more conscientious.
She only ripened less than acre of wheat and stopped in time.
"It's not bad! It's well controlled!" Lu Chengming couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Bai Tingting looked at the golden wheat field in front of her, and her face was full of surprise and stood still.
"How is it, I just said I'm fine?" Tang Wan'er raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead, feeling very proud.
"You are so powerful, come out!" Tang Wan'er waved in the wheat fields in Lu Chengming Dynasty.
Tang Wan'er had just pulled out the staff from the soil, but suddenly became stunned.
"What's wrong?" Lu Chengming noticed something was wrong.
Tang Wan'er didn't say a word, just lowered her head and stared at her right hand.
Lu Chengming rushed over and took a closer look—
I saw a light brown hard shell similar to tree bark on Tang Wan'er's right hand and forearm!
"Wow—" Tang Wan'er finally couldn't control herself and burst into tears.
"It's okay!" Lu Chengming was also panicked, but he still pretended to be calm and carried Tang Wan'er out of the wheat field.
"Woooooooooooo...my hand!" Tang Wan'er cried harder and harder.
"Don't be anxious first, maybe it will return to normal in a while!" Lu Chengming could only comfort him like this, "You try to move your fingers?"
Tang Wan'er moved her fingers a few times while crying.
The movement is normal, but it seems to be inflexible.
"What to do? What to do..." Tang Wan'er burst into tears, "Woooooooo..."
Of course, Lu Chengming didn't know the reason, so he could only understand that this was a side effect of Muliya's divine power.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, there must be a solution! Let's go back first and study the information of the Muliya civilization!" Lu Chengming said, picked up Tang Wan'er and ran towards the bunker.
Bai Tingting hesitated for a moment, wrapped her hands with her sleeves, carefully picked up the staff, and hurriedly followed.
...
All members of the bunker gathered in the study to find information.
There are not many books related to the Mulijah civilization, but the contents have their own opinions and are even contradictory, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Everyone can only extract the information that they think is useful and then compare and discuss it.
Su Yurong quietly pushed a book in front of Lu Chengming and pointed to one of the words with her fingers.
Lu Chengming looked carefully and said that some Muliyas became tree people, and they could only move freely at night... Later, they turned into trees and would never move again...
There is only a brief description, no reason, no solution...
Lu Chengming sighed secretly and walked over to check Tang Wan'er's situation.
She kept sitting in the chair and sobbing, her eyes were swollen.
Lu Chengming carefully observed her right hand and was shocked to find that the bark actually continued to spread!
What to do with this!?
He hurriedly walked outside the house, took out his cell phone to contact Jiang Ying, and asked her how to deal with this situation.
Jiang Ying naturally has no experience, but she still gave her own opinions.
Actually, it's the same as Lu Chengming thought.
Without considering divine power... According to past experience...
