On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

Ning Luo frowned, "Where is the Locust King?"

"I haven't found it yet." Yue Qi said ashamedly.

Ning Luo asked again: "Did you use the Thunderstorm Curse?"

"We did. It rained heavily for a few days, and we put some pesticide in the water, which killed a lot of locust eggs. There were fewer locusts overnight, but many more were born the next day. This cycle repeated for a few days, and it seemed endless."

"Later, I invited a lot of poultry and birds to eat the insects. Unexpectedly, the victims were so hungry that they caught and ate these birds." Yue Qi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when talking about this.

"Let's set it on fire first."

Ning Luo spread out his hands and a dense net appeared.

Suddenly, the net was spread out towards the locusts in the sky, catching many locusts, at least millions of them.

Then he made hand gestures and chanted a spell, and cast a fire spell. The net began to catch fire and all the locusts in the net were burned to death instantly.

A smell of burnt meat.

The other locusts were frightened and flew away.

The people looked on in amazement.

But they had been hungry for too long and had no time to express their gratitude. When they saw the charred bodies of the burnt locusts falling to the ground and landing on the fields, men, women, old and young swarmed over and scrambled to pick them up and put them into their mouths to eat as their rations.

And he said it smelled good.

Yue Qi couldn't bear to watch this scene and murmured: Mortals really dare to eat anything.

"You don't understand that the human body cannot stand hunger."

"I'm so hungry, I'll eat anything."

Ning Luo reminded him seriously, "Don't show your true identity in front of them, or you will be made into stew soup."

Although he was joking, Yue Qi still got goose bumps all over his body when he heard it.

"Master, please rest assured. I will keep it in mind."

"Let's go and check out the situation on the land."

Ning Luo looked around the fields. The fields were dry and cracked, and there was no water source. The locust eggs were hidden in the cracks in the ground. The sunlight was particularly suitable for hatching.

If there were water, these locust eggs would be drowned and would never be able to reproduce.

Ning Luo asked, "Has the water source here dried up?"

Qiyue pointed to the mountains and water channels in the distance and said: "Originally, there was water from the mountains that was channeled into the water channels, but the victims said that the water flow was cut off half a year ago and there is not a drop of water left."

They dug a well but couldn't get any water, so they had to go to the river ten miles away to fetch water, and now the river was almost dry.

This situation was a natural disaster but also very strange. The trees on the mountain were still growing, but the leaves had been picked clean, probably because they were eaten by the people.

For trees to grow, there must be water under the soil.

Just as he was about to go up the mountain to check for water, the fairy boy Bai He, who was on a mission with Yue Qi, came running over to salute.

"Master, I found the lair of the Locust King. It turns out they were hiding in a cave thirty miles away."

He is Bai He who has cultivated into a human form and has some magical powers.

Can fly too.

Only after transforming back into a white crane and approaching the locust king's cave did he find out their details.

It's a risky thing.

Ning Luo stroked the two horns on his head in appreciation, "Bai He, you performed well this time. You have made a great contribution."

I took out a string of candied haws and gave it to him as a reward.

"Thank you, master." Bai He took it with surprise.

Ning Luo asked him, "Have those locust kings become monsters?"

"They have transformed into monsters. There are five locust kings in total. They are all female and call each other sisters. I overheard a few words at the top of the cave. It seems that they are protected by a bigger monster master. I don't know which monster master they will obey." Bai He told the useful information in detail.

Yue Qi was depressed: he, a thousand-year-old snake spirit, was not as capable as a white crane.

"Let's go, lead the way. We need to capture the king first. Only by destroying the locust king can we completely eliminate the insect plague."

Ning Luo sent a message to Li Yi and then took Bai He and Yue Qi to the place where the Locust King was.

Li Yi received her message and felt a little disappointed. Hey, Luoer didn't take me with her on this trip.

However, he should still handle the government affairs first. He knew that Ning Luo's magic skills were superb. Under normal circumstances, a little demon like the Locust King was no match for her.

He took his subordinates to the government office in the disaster area to learn about the local government affairs.

Unexpectedly, the government office was empty and covered with dust.

Ling Zhao reported: "Your Majesty, it seems that all the county officials here have run away."

Li Yi ordered, "Clean up immediately. I need to handle official business here."

"Yes!"

The accompanying guards started cleaning up immediately.

The action was quick and efficient, and the government office was cleaned in less than half an incense stick of time.

Even the houses in the backyard were cleared out.

But the kitchen was empty, without any water or food.

Fortunately, there is a well in the yard, so I can draw water to clean the tables and chairs and boil water to drink.

Li Yigang sat down at the desk in the court.

When a few half-naked civilians saw the soldiers and officials coming to the government office, they rushed in with joy on their faces.

"Sir, are you sent by the imperial court?"
