Chapter 208 - 208 127 Battle Locusts_3

208: Chapter 127, Battle Locusts_3 208: Chapter 127, Battle Locusts_3 In short, the closer the locusts were to the cub, the more miserable they were.

They had to exceed a distance of two or three miles before they could completely escape the effects of the gravity field.

The brilliant performance made Hudson want to ride on the cub and stroll around in the locust army.

Simply gathering and releasing the gravity field a few times, could result in the complete slaughter of the locusts within the covered area.

When it comes to pest eradication efficiency, this was more effective and environmentally friendly than any pesticide.

No matter how large a locust army was, it could be defeated.

However, considering this operation’s objective, Hudson eventually suppressed this tempting thought.

By doing this, the locust army might disperse, but the prime culprit, the Insect King, could escape too.

For a species like locusts with an unusual reproductive speed, as long as there is one Insect King alive, it will not take long for another locust army to form.

The lifespan and intelligence of an Insect King that becomes a magical beast increase dramatically.

If they are allowed to live longer, their IQ may surpass that of human beings.

At that time, they would become more difficult to deal with.

If the Insect King, which has absorbed a significant amount of Calamity Qi, is allowed to continue doing so, it could even have an opportunity to advance to become an Insect Emperor.

Once it evolves into the Insect Emperor stage, the destructive power of the locust army would reach disastrous levels.

The best response is to identify the Insect King and immediately use a thunderous method to kill it, not giving it the chance to start a locust plague.

At this point, since the locust army has already formed on a large scale, it is even more important to kill the Insect King.

According to the information from the Governor’s Mansion, there are slight more Insect Kings appearing in this locust plague.

Several neighboring provinces have killed multiple Insect Kings, but the locust army still doesn’t seem to be dispersing.

Now, the capital has ordered as many of these creatures to be captured alive as possible, implying that there is more to the story behind this locust plague.

Hudson, who did not want to get into trouble, did not dare to interfere with the grand plans of the influential characters at this critical juncture.

The locust extermination battle continued, and it was not only the Earth Bear who stood out on the battlefield.

Other magical beasts were not as casual, but they all put on impressive performances.

The flaming lion of Earl Piers, with saliva equivalent to lava, was basically a fire sprayer as soon as it opened its mouth.

The scent of locusts being roasted by fire that stretched tens of meters, could waft for miles.

The serf army who witnessed this were drooling.

If it weren’t for the noble lords witnessing the spectacle and repeatedly warning that locusts cannot be consumed.

These guys probably couldn’t resist getting a taste.

The most annoying one in Hudson’s opinion was Yuri Mage.

Not only did he possess a magic formation specifically targeted at locusts, his magical beast mount also surprised everyone.

Even if everyone’s ears were plugged, they still felt a weird sensation due to the strange calling sound.

The “crackling beast”, specialized in making noise, used sound as both its strong talent and main attack.

It was famous for its noise-making ability throughout the Continent of Aslante.

The fair judgement of the “Crackling Beast’s” call from the outside world was as such:those who hear it want to flay its skin; those who listen want to crush it to pieces.

Not only did it have a bad reputation in the human world, but it was also despised in the magical beast world.

Specifically, once Belsden heard the Crackling Beast’s calls from afar, he wanted to go and hammer it.

This action was supported by Hudson, but ultimately, he restrained himself.

They were still teammates after all, they could not engage in infighting and make themselves a laughing stock in front of the locusts.

Most likely there were quite a few magical beasts that demonstrated similar behavior.

After all, whenever the creature used its ultimate move, both friends and foes were affected without discrimination.

Although deceptive, the power of sonic attacks was indeed potent.

Anyhow, with a single move, Hudson saw the dense locust army in his sight completely disappear.

Most surprisingly, two Insect King warriors charged out of the locust army and directly challenged the “Crackling Beast”.

As a result, they naturally helped the noble’s camp achieve a breakthrough in military accomplishments.

The potency of the noise attack was indeed impressive, given it was powerful enough to daze the enemy.

Unfortunately, it was a double-edged sword, killing a thousand enemies but harming five hundred of our own in the process.

Not to mention the serfs who were on the ground howling in distress, even a steadfast individual like Hudson was ceaselessly rubbing his ears.

This was despite the considerable distance between the two parties.

Hudson couldn’t help but think about the tragic state of those who were closer to the beast.

For those who stubbornly choose to ignore the advice to block their ears, they were probably experiencing an excitingly sour sensation right now.

To be frank, the fact that such an annoying magical beast still hasn’t been wiped out is nothing short of a miracle.

Now Hudson has somewhat understood Magician Yuri.

Dealing with such a magical beast every day and eventually becoming mentally impaired is understandable.

Everything becomes more obvious through contrast.

Looking at a group of unique magical beasts jostling for centre stage, Hudson suddenly found Belsden bearable.

Even though it was a little lazy, constantly bragging, crude, and lacked manners…overall it was tolerable.

If it was replaced by a Crackling Beast, and it suddenly let out a deafening noise when in a bad mood, Hudson wasn’t sure he wouldn’t kill it out of annoyance.

Fortunately, the Crackling Beast’s powerful attack had its limitations.

After casting it once, it needed to rest for a few days.

Otherwise, if it continued making that noise, Hudson was afraid he would have to run for the hills.

The appearance of the black spots on the horizon pulled Hudson out of his distractions.

He had to admit, the Locust Army was resilient.

Despite the punishing ordeal, they still dared to approach.

If this was a normal army, knowing the horrific situation at the front line, they would’ve probably scattered and fled long ago.

“Belsden, you have seen the Insect King as well.

Keep an eye on it.

We’ve come out here after so much trouble, we can’t let others snatch all the credit.

If word gets out, it would be humiliating for your Earth Bear Clan.”

Hudson was encouraging Belsden wholeheartedly.

But Belsden was not impressed.

It turned its head to look at him and extended one large bear paw in a gesture for a share of the reward.

Having high intelligence wasn’t always a good thing.

Belsden was exceptionally shrewd when it came to settling accounts, even learning how to read the accounts to avoid being cheated.

Hudson glanced at the distance and spread his hands out, “Don’t worry, two plus one equals five.

We’ll split all the profits equally, I promise.”

Seeing the still outstretched bear paw, he realised that his proposal had not won the beast’s approval.

It was becoming increasingly difficult to take advantage of his own bear.

Hudson was helpless.

Who would have thought that this lazy creature’s wisdom would grow so rapidly.

“Alright, the reward of 1000 Gold Coins is also yours.

Don’t refuse it so quickly.

Although you’ll be doing most of the work in capturing the Insect King,

I’m the one who got us this deal.

Any subsequent rewards will also have to be negotiated by me.

Getting an extra 1000 Gold Coins for each Insect King is already generous.

If you ask for more, wouldn’t I be working for nothing?

Think about it, with a thousand gold coins, you could buy hundreds of sheep, which could produce milk every day…”

There’s nothing that cannot be linked to the Beast Milk.

Once the units were converted, the young bear’s train of thought would change.

This time was no exception.

Upon calculating how many sheeps and cows it could exchange, Belsden quickly retracted its paw, turned its head, and set its gaze on the Locust Army.

The fervor in its eyes was frightening.

It looked as if, in its eyes, the Locust Army was not a swarm of insects but basins filled with honey-drenched Beast Milk.
