Chapter 314 - 149: Withered Beast Apostle, Rallying Troops
Region Channel.
"Sure enough, just as Yi Tian said, birds, animals, bees, and butterflies have all appeared. I’ve got several types of birds and animals here, and a large swarm of bees called ’Chinese Small Bees,’ such a strange name. There are over a dozen butterflies in total, very beautiful." Pigman Race Pig Boar.
"You’re lucky. The Chinese Small Bee comes from my home planet, very diligent, produces a lot of honey, and has properties that clear heat and detoxify, beautifying and enhancing appearance." Earth Human Race Yi Tian.
"Beautifying and enhancing appearance, as a handsome guy, it’s perfect for me." Pigman Race Pig Boar.
"Brother Pig, how much has the spiritual qi density in your territory increased?" Earth Human Race Yi Tian.
"The spiritual qi density increased by 50%, not 100% as the big guy said. Maybe the high-level region and our region are different." Pigman Race Pig Boar.
"I’ve already slain all the birds and animals, and burned the bees with fire. Sure enough, there’s no plague lingering."
"Condolences to the one above... I didn’t kill any birds, animals, bees, or butterflies, and there’s no plague. I’m feeling very well now."
"Could it be that there’s no plague, that Yi Tian might have made a mistake in his message?"
"How dare you question the great Yi Tian?" said a high-level person.
"Stop being sarcastic. Speak again in three hours." Earth Human Race Yi Tian.
He saw the ID and knew it was a hidden invader, so he wasn’t polite.
Yi Tian watched the channel chat for a while and confirmed that the number and species of birds, animals, bees, and butterflies varied in each territory.
Most were a few types of birds, a few dozen in total.
A few types of auspicious beasts, around a dozen in appearance.
A nest of bees, and a dozen butterflies.
Only Yi Tian’s territory had so many auspicious birds, animals, bees, and butterflies.
Yi Tian thought that the spiritual qi density in the territory must be related to the number of auspicious birds present and the species involved.
The spiritual qi density increased by 50%.
This doesn’t compare to the average of 80% in top-level regions.
When it comes to attribute cost-effectiveness, a 50% increase in spiritual qi in an ordinary region is better than an 80% increase in a top-level region!
Yi Tian just couldn’t understand why the spiritual qi density in his territory increased by 300%.
The large territory and lake area must be related.
The abundance of high-level and top-grade wood in the territory is likely another factor.
The abundance of heavenly and earthly treasures filled the territory with spiritual qi, evident from the many birds flying toward the War Manor.
What else could it be?
Could it be the Jianmu Divine Tree?
Yi Tian suddenly thought of this, as many auspicious birds circled above the Jianmu Divine Tree, unwilling to leave.
The Jianmu Divine Tree wasn’t complete, but it wasn’t an ordinary divine tree; it was a top-grade divine tree, a creation of the heavens and earth.
Do the birds have dreams too?
"Dad, there are a bunch of strange creatures digging outside the territory, and they’re digging really fast!"
At that moment, Second Child reported the latest situation to Yi Tian.
This also interrupted Yi Tian’s thoughts.
"What strange creatures are these, and how powerful are they? Describe them?" Yi Tian asked Second Child.
"Their power? They don’t have much power. They’re only... only as big as Seventh Sister’s gourd, with black fur, long and thin tails, round ears, very small eyes, and they look very sneaky." Second Child tried hard to describe.
Yi Tian stroked his chin, trying to visualize Second Child’s description.
How does this sound like mice!
"Dad, they’re digging so fast, they’ve already dug in... fell into the water... they can swim... they’re surfacing and emitting a white gas... the gas disappears as soon as it’s released... this white gas was almost undetectable with my Thousand-Mile Eye."
Second Child continuously reported the movements of the "mice" to Yi Tian.
Yi Tian instantly stood up, then picked up Second Child and ran out of the villa.
"Whistle!"
With a whistle, Yi Tian’s exclusive mount, Little Black, descended and carried Yi Tian into flight.
Yi Tian vaguely understood.
The plague within the territory wasn’t brought by the auspicious beasts but by these unidentified creatures.
The white gas they emit is a kind of virus that will quickly spread throughout the entire territory.
The appearance of auspicious beasts is considered a form of Celestial Dao Fortune, increasing the spiritual qi density within the territory, assisting the Lord’s cultivation, and revitalizing the territory.
Many lords have already slain all the birds, animals, bees, and butterflies in their territory to avoid disease.
In reality, the birds, animals, bees, and butterflies aren’t the source of the virus at all.
If one slays the birds, animals, bees, and butterflies, they will lack a significant amount of spiritual qi, the plague will worsen, and it will affect the Lord’s survival rate.
Some lords are destined to lose out, regretting both the wife and the army they sacrificed!
"Second Child, where are those few monsters now?"
While flying north, Yi Tian asked Second Child.
"They’re still emitting white gas, and a few have left the mist after spraying." Second Child replied to Yi Tian.
"Little Black, speed up, activate the gift."
Yi Tian wanted to understand what these creatures were, so he ordered Little Black to accelerate.
With the innate Divine Eagle Bloodline activated, Little Black made a swift dive to the predetermined location.
At this moment, Yi Tian could see dozens of large rats on the lake surface near the mist, emitting "gas."
Yi Tian truly couldn’t see them exhaling the gas, only noticing them floating on the water with their heads raised.
"Withered Beast Apostle, Strength 100, Constitution 100, Agility 100. Skills: Withered Beast Plague, Ejecting the Source of the Plague, Destroying the Immunity of Any Living Creatures. Once infected with the plague, a withered beast seed will be left in the body, even if cured, it will quickly relapse. As long as the withered beast does not leave, the seed will not disappear."
"The Withered Beast Apostle absorbs the original qi of the Withered Beast, under the control of the Withered Beast."
Yi Tian only had to see one of these "large mice" to understand the general situation!
The Withered Beast, one of the Eight Great Celestial Beasts, has appeared!
It didn’t come directly but controlled the mice, turning them into Withered Beast Apostles, to wreak havoc in the region.
Moreover, these mice are very cunning. They dig and enter the territory, only releasing smoke at the edge.
It’s only because Yi Tian’s territory is surrounded by water that they might have started spewing it inside a tunnel.
