Chapter 2821

The two followed elder Wu out of the plaza and passed through the reveling crowd. Everyone, regardless of whether they were natives or Soul Warriors, made way for them. Many natives even threw themselves on the ground. That kind of fanaticism made even Xiao Hua envious.

After passing through the crowd with great difficulty, they arrived at the back of the plaza. There were a dozen or so Soul Warriors and soul beasts guarding the gate.

Seeing Xiao Mao come over, these Soul Warriors respectfully saluted. Even the soul beasts respectfully lowered their heads.

Elder Wu asked a few questions and received some answers. Only then did he nod and lead the way for Xiao Hua and Xiao Mao to enter the huge wooden gate.

Behind the huge wooden door, there were also some rough wooden houses. Old Wu slowly led the way in front, and Xiao Hua had already impatiently released his Buddhist sense. However, after looking for a long time, he didn't see anything special.

Elder Wu had clearly sensed Xiao Hua's position in Xiao Mao's heart. He even sensed the strangeness of the item Xiao Mao bestowed upon him. From time to time, he would turn around and address Xiao Hua as elder and say some casual words.

Xiao Hua also answered indifferently.

After passing through a large group of wooden houses, they also met some Soul Warriors who weren't on patrol. The three of them arrived in front of a slope.

"Ga ~ ~" A bird's cry rang out. A blue witch feather flew down from the sky and landed right in front of Xiao Mao. The snake-like head now docilely crouched down in front of Xiao Mao's feet. Its tongue also stretched out and licked Xiao Mao's feet!

"This is that old blue witch feather!" Xiao Hua suddenly understood. "So this thing is here!

This should be the secret of the Shaman Stronghold. "

Sure enough, elder Wu said with a smile, "Master, this is that old and useless blue witch feather. This lowly one sent them to Grain Garden and had them guard this place!"

Immediately, elder Wu waved his hand and took out the bone staff again. A faint green light fell from between his eyebrows. The skeleton on the bone staff caught it. Immediately, a green light like a tide sprayed out from the skeleton's mouth and rushed to the rows of withered trees on the slope in front of them.

The withered trees repeatedly emitted green light, but it disappeared in a short moment.

However, after the green light, the scene in front of him didn't change at all, and there wasn't any unusual movement.

Xiao Mao frowned as he found it strange. Grandmaster Wu quickly explained, "Master, the Soul Formation of Meng Mountains is different from the Daoist Sect's formation. It does not have any dazzling brilliance, nor does it have any camouflage technique. If you are not from Meng Mountains, you will never be able to see through the Soul Formation!

Of course, perhaps the Soul Formation of Meng Mountains does not have the heaven-shaking and earth-shattering power of the Daoist Sect's formation, but … in terms of power, it might not be weaker than the Daoist Sect's formation! "

"Hmm …" Xiao Mao nodded. He still looked at the slope in confusion. There were no wooden huts at the bottom of the slope, nor were there any natives. Other than some sparse branches and small trees, there was nothing else!

Noticing that Xiao Mao was a little distracted, Elder Wu misunderstood and hurriedly explained, "But my lord, the Soul Cultivation Divine Ability of Meng Mountain is far from … what my lord heard in the Three Kingdoms of Cultivation!

The almighty experts of Meng Mountain are the same as the cultivators of Daoist Sect. They have the ability to turn the world upside down, and … "

"How did you know that I was in the Three Kingdoms of Cultivation?" Xiao Mao turned his head and asked coldly.

"This …" Elder Wu was flabbergasted. After a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, please don't ask about this matter. This lowly one only heard some rumors. If this lowly one reports it to my lord, it will only make my lord … even more confused."

Then, Elder Wu pointed at the Blue Sorcerer Feather at his feet and said, "Just in time, my lord. We will take this opportunity to enter Su Garden. When my lord sees the situation in Su Garden, he will know!"

"Alright!"

Seeing that Elder Wu insisted on not saying anything, Xiao Mao knew that this matter must involve a lot of people. Although the other party was willing to swear loyalty, he did not dare to meddle too much. Xiao Mao did not force him and floated onto the Blue Sorcerer Feather.

The Soul Beast was originally ten feet long, and its back was spacious. It was more than enough for Xiao Hua and the other two to stand on.

The Soul Beast let out a clear cry, flapped its wings, and flew down the slope!

Beyond the slope should be the back mountain of Bi 'an Stronghold. Just like the front mountain, it was extremely large. Moreover, at the edge of the slope, they could vaguely see the shadows of some wooden houses. Under the full moon, they looked like monsters that were sticking their heads out.

"Ga ~" Another few clear cries rang out. Several Blue Sorcerer Feather also swept across the sky. There were patrolling Soul Warriors passing by on them.

However, after flying for nearly ten thousand feet and arriving at another slope, Xiao Mao was somewhat stunned when he did not see anything strange.

He had released his divine sense and had been carefully inspecting. Moreover, under the full moon, the slope and even the bottom of the valley were clearly visible. Apart from some vegetation commonly seen in Meng Mountains, some dense stems that were more than a foot tall, and even some beetles, he really did not know what was here that was coveted by the beetles!

As for Xiao Hua … he looked pensive.

The Blue Sorcerer Feather flapped its wings and landed on a natural platform on the slope. After the three of them jumped down, the Blue Sorcerer Feather let out another cry and soared into the sky.

"Master, please take a look …" Since they were already here, Old Wu did not hesitate and went straight to the point. He pointed at the stems near the platform and said, "This is the root cause of the beetles' attack on Bi 'an Stronghold!

Moreover, this is also the reason why all the Shaman Strongholds in Meng Mountains were attacked by the beetles! "

"Oh?

What … what is this? "Xiao Mao was dumbfounded.

Old Wu was not surprised. It seemed that it was normal for Xiao Mao not to understand. He squatted down, looked at the one foot long stem, and sighed, "This is the millet!

The millet that the people of Meng Mountains eat daily! "

"Millet Garden, this must be the millet!" Xiao Mao was enlightened.

"Yes, this millet … is similar to the rice that the people of the Three Kingdoms of Cultivation often eat!" Old Wu nodded. Xiao Mao also squatted down and looked at the millet carefully.

The millet looked very similar to rice. However, millet grew on the soft soil of Meng Mountains and did not need to be planted in the paddy field. Moreover, on the one foot long stem, there were three to five thin branches that looked like caterpillars. On the thin branches, there were grains of millet that were not much bigger than gravel.

Old Wu looked at Xiao Mao who was squatting opposite him, then raised his head slightly and looked at Xiao Hua. However, Xiao Hua did not walk over as he expected. Instead, he walked slowly to the edge of the platform, bent down, and looked at the millet growing there. After looking at it, he even walked down the platform and looked to the side.

Old Wu did not care about Xiao Hua's behavior. It was best that Xiao Hua was not next to him.

"Master …" Old Wu said in a low voice, "Do you see anything?"

"What … What can I see if I take it?"

Xiao Mao said honestly, "I have already abstained from eating for a long time. I don't know how many years it has been since I tasted the food of the mortal world!"

"Master's cultivation has improved, this humble one is also happy in my heart!"

Old Wu said with a smile, "This matter has to start from fifty to sixty years ago. Oh, maybe it's even earlier than that. However, as for the specific date of the change, even this humble one can't say it clearly!"

"Big brother …" Xiao Mao saw that Old Wu was beginning to explain and hurriedly wanted to call Xiao Hua.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Hua raised his voice from afar, "Let me leave for a while. I can take a look at the millet here. This thing … I seem to have seen it before!"

"Oh, okay!" Xiao Mao knew that Xiao Hua did not want to make things difficult for him, so he did not say anything.

Old Wu continued, "This millet is the food of the people of Meng Mountains. It is because of this millet and our bloodline that we are different from the people outside of Meng Mountains!

Therefore, other than the bloodline, this millet is the foundation of Meng Mountains!

Of course, this millet only grows in Meng Mountains. Even if someone brought this millet to the outside world to cultivate, they would not succeed. "

"Aiyo … it seems like …" At this point, Xiao Mao was somewhat enlightened, "When I was young …"

"Master must have also grown up eating millet when he was young!

There is no doubt about this! "Old Wu said with a smile," Only when you grew up and cultivated the magic of the Dao Sect did you stop eating millet.

Of course, if Master does not eat millet, then you will not be able to use the witchcraft of Meng Mountains. "

"En!" Xiao Mao nodded slightly.

"Because of this strange and ordinary appearance of millet, although the people of Meng Mountains rely on it, they have never paid attention to it!

A hundred years ago, this millet grew everywhere in the mountains, so we did not have to worry about it!

Also, the beetles and the soul beasts of Meng Mountains all feed on this millet!

In fact, the beetles are even more special. When they grow into grass, they often grow together with millet!

Their reproduction and growth are also related to millet! "

"However, I don't know when it started, but the weather of Meng Mountains changed. Originally, there was rain for eight to ten days, but gradually, it became seven days, six days, and finally, until now, there is no rain for a hundred days!"

"Drought!!" Xiao Mao nodded.

"This is not the most important thing!"

Old Wu nodded, "The most important thing is that the millet produced by this millet has been decreasing year by year, until now … it has gradually stopped producing millet!

Even the millet itself can no longer survive! "

"Ah???

Is that so! "Xiao Mao exclaimed," Then … then what do you all eat? "

"When Old Wu and Ji Man from the other strongholds found out about this, they immediately reported it to their respective strongholds. In the end …" At this point, Old Wu glanced at Xiao Mao, "In the end, they reported it to the main stronghold of Shebi. However, Shebi Stronghold has always been … a little chaotic, so they did not come up with a solution in time.

By the time we came up with a solution, it was already a little too late! "

As Old Wu spoke, he walked to the valley and said, "That year, after a discussion with Ji Man, I personally went to the Country of Xi to take a look at their secular people's farming. I even invited over a hundred old farmers to help me. All the millets behind this mountain were sown here by those farmers' suggestions before they went extinct outside the stronghold!"

"Sigh, fortunately, I humbly listened to those farmers' suggestions and planted millets here. Although it is not enough to ensure the survival of all the people in the stronghold, but … at a critical moment, these millets … can still play a certain role!"
