Eat Little Almonds
Chapter 36 Exterminate Insects, Xun Dong Appears
With Qiao Yu's order, everyone took out their dark, brand-new magic wands.
Only Yang Xiangdi proudly took out a dazzling pink wand, complete with a pretty bow.
"Yang Xiangdi, while the bugs haven't come out yet, can you use Earth Burst to directly wipe them out from the bottom of the well?" Qiao Yu asked.
"I, I'll try." Yang Xiangdi brought his fairy wand close to the bluestone well to sense it for a moment, then shook his head.
"No, this well is too deep, I can't sense the bottom."
Although the power of Earth Burst is great, it must rely on the ground to be released.
"How about... going down the well?" Long Chang asked tentatively.
"No way, that's too dangerous! There's a bug queen of unknown strength down there! Going down the well is just suicide, right?" Fang Xun immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.
"Nice one, Long Chang, I've seen many living Bodhisattvas, but this is my first time seeing a living King Yama." Yang Xiangdi gave a thumbs up.
"If the bug queen heard you were going down the well, she'd probably dance 'Listen to Me, Thank You' for you, because you warm the four seasons."
Long Chang's face was a little embarrassed after being refuted, but he didn't dare to retort.
After all, the fatty with the pink wand could really kill him with a set of skills.
Just as the scene was at a stalemate, Fang Yuan volunteered.
"Qiao Yu, I can use Fireball to lure the swarms of bugs up, and then we can deal with them."
"Okay, but you have to be quick." Qiao Yu nodded.
Their task was just to eliminate all the bugs, and it wasn't worth it to fight the Wan Du Ku (Ten Thousand Poisonous Caves) tribe head-on.
"No problem."
Fang Yuan waved her wand and began to chant slowly, a spark of fire emerging at the tip of her wand.
"Ka dun, kou ka kou nao ji zi!" Yang Xiangdi's chuunibyou (Middle School 2nd Year Syndrome) acted up, suddenly yelling from the side, almost scaring Fang Yuan into interrupting her spell.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan steadied her breath, and a huge fireball burst out from the tip of her wand, smashing towards the mouth of the bluestone well.
The fireball fell along the well wall, the dazzling firelight illuminating the well in a fiery red.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
A burst of bean-popping sounds came from the bottom of the well, and the next second.
Buzz!
The swarm of bugs they had seen that day began to rush out of the well densely packed.
But this time, Qiao Yu and the others were prepared and would naturally no longer be chased by the swarm of bugs and flee in panic.
The bluestone well where the swarm of bugs resided had now become their best tomb.
As long as these bugs couldn't fly into space, they wouldn't be able to pose a threat to Qiao Yu and the others.
"Do it! Sand Binding!"
With the blessing of the fairy wand, Yang Xiangdi's spellcasting speed became faster, and countless sands instantly covered the wellhead like a well lid, leaving only two small holes.
The poisonous bugs that pounced up instantly crashed into the shield wall formed by the sand.
"Fang Xun, Fang Yuan, it's up to you!" Qiao Yu shouted.
"Understood!"
The Fang Xun and Fang Yuan siblings stuck their wands into the small holes specially left by Yang Xiangdi.
"Fireball!" x2!
Two massive fireballs instantly ignited in the narrow space of the well, countless poisonous bugs were burned, and popping explosions rang out in the well.
On the other hand, Long Chang seemed a little helpless, as a water mage, he couldn't help at all.
This was the tactic that Qiao Yu had just come up with, he called this tactic "Guan Jing Da Chong" (Close the Well and Beat the Bugs).
The heat generated by the two fireballs instantly burned the bluestone bricks of the entire well to a fiery red.
"Okay, Xiangdi, release the Sand Binding, those bugs should be almost dead." Qiao Yu said.
"Okay!" Yang Xiangdi waved his wand, and the sand at the mouth of the well instantly disappeared.
Qiao Yu looked down, the bluestone well wall was burnt black, and not even a single poisonous bug could be seen, a foul smell of rubber soles wafted from the mouth of the well.
"These bugs should be all dead, right? Why hasn't the system prompted us to complete the mission yet?" Fang Xun asked, covering his nose.
"Could it be that we really have to go down to the bottom of the well to kill that bug queen?"
Qiao Yu frowned, he always felt that this task wouldn't be so simple.
"Hehe, you little mice are really naughty."
Just as everyone was wondering, a light and melodious laugh suddenly sounded, the voice so close that it seemed the speaker was right next to their ears.
Qiao Yu was so frightened that he turned his head sharply and began to retreat, a beautiful figure came into his view, it was Xun Dong, the beautiful tribal chief of Wan Du Ku!
Behind Xun Dong was a tall, burly man.
This burly man was bald like Ju Xie (Giant Scorpion), but unlike Ju Xie, this burly man's appearance was not so rough, and the totem on his face was a black snake.
"Should I call you the chief of Wan Du Ku, or should I call you Xiao Dong?"
Qiao Yu said, staring closely at Xun Dong's beautiful eyes.
Hearing this, Xun Dong's smile froze on her face.
"It seems that you know something you shouldn't."
Xun Dong's beautiful eyes instantly became cold.
"Speak! Where did Ju Xie go!"
The burly man behind Xun Dong couldn't help but take a step forward, and a surging aura pressed towards Qiao Yu and the others.
Kuang Mang (Mad Python) remembered that Ju Xie had said he was going to investigate Qiao Yu and the others before they separated, and then he lost contact.
Could it be that Ju Xie was already…
Thinking of this, the killing intent on Kuang Mang's body suddenly intensified.
"Uh…" Qiao Yu was about to answer when he suddenly paused.
If an NPC died, it didn't really count as death, after all, as long as the dungeon reset, the NPC would be wiped of their memories and resurrected.
"Did you see this pink wand in my hand? It dropped from Ju Xie."
Yang Xiangdi said, waving the wand.
"You're courting death!"
Kuang Mang roared and rushed over, although he didn't know what Yang Xiangdi's words meant, Ju Xie must have met with misfortune.
As Ju Xie's sworn brother, Kuang Mang had to avenge Ju Xie!
Qiao Yu was about to stop the angry Kuang Mang when Xun Dong flashed in front of him.
"Handsome brother, where are you going, giggle." She covered her mouth and laughed softly.
"What a pity, I originally wanted to spare your life, if I could obtain your genetic factors, the child born would be very good-looking, right? Why did you have to seek death yourself."
"You killed so many swarms of bugs from our Wan Du Ku, if I don't use you as a sacrifice, the bug queen will be very angry."
Xun Dong's words were full of disappointment.
"I wouldn't dare, you're not 14 years old yet, it's illegal. So, when you said you wanted to introduce me to a beautiful tribal chief, you were introducing yourself? Your skin is so thick!"
Qiao Yu babbled on, but his body didn't dare to relax in the slightest, if he was careless and Xun Dong killed him directly, he would be in big trouble.
"What's wrong, handsome brother, don't you like me the way I am now? Then how about I change back to Xiao Dong's appearance?"
Xun Dong's body switched back and forth between Xiao Dong and the gorgeous woman's appearance, looking extremely eerie.
"How is it? Which one do you like more, handsome brother?"
