Versatile Mage: I can control you until you die.

Ballat, on the edge of Ligu County.

The originally rich aquatic county has now turned into a vast ocean. If not for some city ruins left on land, no one would be able to tell that there was ever a human settlement here.

"These people are finished. There is no way they can survive."

Lingling looked down at the sea. There were sea monsters rising and falling in the water. Some brave ones were staring at her in the sky with deep and terrifying eyes.

"Yes."

Xu Fang casually threw down a string, and the mermaid that was showing off with her eyes, along with a large area around it, were all cut into pieces.

The residents of Ligu County were not much better than the shanty towns of Mumbai, but there was no way any mage would be stationed in such a hellhole.

This means that no matter how weak the siren is, they can enjoy this buffet.

Human counterattack is not even as threatening to them as the lobsters at the buffet.

After all, the lobster's claws are quite painful.

"The people next to you haven't evacuated yet?"

“I asked, and they said that this was a punishment from the Wrathful Vajra, and that those who died were people with bad karma from their previous lives, so they would be fine.

————Of course, if you want to be fine forever, you have to suffer all the time, risk your life fishing, and become a lowly provider for the big masters in the inner city, so that you can get a ticket to heaven. "

To be honest, how could these low-class people believe this lame excuse?

But what if you don’t believe it!

I can’t get into the inner city and have no place to live.

Death is either way, so you might as well swallow your anger, build more temples and statues and pray for God’s mercy, so that you can be a superior person in your next life!

This kind of humility is deeply engraved in their bones, and it cannot be saved no matter whether they study medicine or literature!

at this time!

Boom... Boom boom boom, boom boom boom! ! ! ! !

At first, there was only a slight, imperceptible tremor, like a gentle sigh of the earth.

But soon, the shaking became stronger and stronger, and the whole town was shaken!

The originally solid foundation and stone road slowly softened, as if eroded by some kind of earth magic, gradually losing their original hardness and shape.

The building's foundation began to shake and cracks appeared in the walls, and then these cracks spread rapidly, as if they were living things, until the entire structure began to crumble.

“Wow——!”

People who sensed the approaching danger rushed out of their homes, running around in panic, and a large group of people even knelt in front of a sculpture.

That sculpture is so ugly that it makes people doubt whether it is performance art. No wonder King Kong is glaring, probably because he is irritated by this hanging thing.

Susususu···

In full view of everyone, this ugly sculpture was transformed into fine sand layer by layer and piece by piece!

A strange wind blew by, and in front of everyone's stunned gaze, it blew towards the sea and was swallowed up by the waves!

"Even the gods can't protect us?"

"Hehehe, good, good, I'm going to paradise!"

"In my next life, I must try what red wine and steak taste like."

despair.

Full of despair.

Right now!

"Whoosh!!!"

The sharp sound of breaking through the air seemed to pierce everyone's eardrums, and a transparent, colorless arrow shot towards them.

Bang! ! !

The shattering of the arrows actually created a chaotic sound field. The residents covered their ears in pain, but still felt the sound pouring into their heads!

————It is precisely because of this that they did not notice that the ground that had originally fallen into the desert had stagnated!

"Your guess is correct." A clear girl's voice sounded, speaking a foreign language that they could not understand.

But just by listening to it, one could tell that the vigorous energy did not belong to Ligu County.

They stared blankly at two figures walking past them, and the young man among them controlled the water ball and kept it floating in the air as if no one was around.

Click it...

The water ball slowly frosted over and eventually became a clear ice ball with a diameter of three meters.

Inside the ice ball, there are beautiful and gorgeous snowflake decorations, which will fall down with just a shake of your hand.

But if you look closely, you will suddenly get goosebumps all over your body.

insect!

They are all bugs!

A giant cat-like bug!

Groups of slow-moving, transparent monster insects were shaken by the remaining strings and could only twitch!

"This thing is the culprit." Xu Fang said, and used his mind to wake one of them up. As soon as it woke up, it struggled desperately.

Feed the siren flesh and blood, but she won't eat it.

Don’t eat desertified land.

Steel and concrete, eat!

Rock pieces, eat!!

Eat, eat, eat! The city defense materials taken out from Zangxing!

The transparent monster insect was extremely happy. Although it was imprisoned in a cold place, many good things that it would never dare to think about appeared automatically in its mouth.

The abundant energy makes the insect body feel warm and strong!

But it doesn't know that the more it accepts everyone who comes to it, the more dangerous the look of the good man who feeds it becomes.

"Eat the dike stones." Xu Fang said in a deep voice.

"If this thing reaches our coast, it will be enough to destroy 80% of the dams." Lingling said.

Embankment stones!

In the absence of the Core of the Earth, it is almost the best material that coastal cities can choose!

Xu Fang exerted force and crushed the transparent strange insect that was happily eating the embankment stones.

"It's not a problem to deal with the strange insects in this sea area, but the question is whether they exist in other sea areas? Have they mutated? Have they invaded inland with the rising sea level?"

The more he spoke, the more Xu Fang felt like his heart was being strangled by a big hand.

He had never expected that something that was originally a political task to contribute to the election campaign of Grand Speaker Shao Zheng would actually uncover such a horrific secret.

This strange insect is more terrifying than monarch-level or even emperor-level monsters.

No matter how powerful the latter is, there are still traces to follow. Unlike the strange insects, equipment like the mage or the dolphin cannot be traced at all.

If Xu Fang remembered correctly, this thing seemed to be called the Dragon King Ant.

"I'll kill you first, and then find your damn lair!"

Low key?

Such a horrible thing appeared, what a shame!

"Blessing from the Skylight!"

The cry of the divine bird!

The golden shadow of a dragon and bird, carrying supreme majesty and peace, slowly condensed from the void.

Its wings spread, and each feather sparkled with dazzling light, as aggressive as the scorching sun that pierces through the dark clouds after a rainstorm.

"Holy Secret!"

The chanting of magic reached its climax, and the vast power of light surged out from the dragon bird's body. They intertwined and entangled, and finally turned into countless sharp swords, suspended in the air!

"Don't even think about running away."

The little will-o'-the-wisp has already listed all the Dragon King Ants present in the King of Hell's roll call.

The light was as dense as a net, like thousands of sharp arrows shot at the same time, piercing the ocean below.

Lala...

The ocean turned golden, golden blood, golden waves mixed with the blood of countless dragon king ants!

"What should we do now?" Lingling looked at Xu Fang.

"Report to the country and immediately investigate whether this thing exists along the coast. As long as we can kill these beasts, we can use all means if necessary!" Xu Fang said.

All means.

Including forbidden spells.

Under the forbidden magic, in the cleansed and "purified" sea area, low-level monsters like the Dragon King Ant cannot survive at all, and cannot even cross it!

Or, just find the mother of the Dragon King Ant and kill this evil creature till nothing is left!

······

The event was so grand that residents of surrounding counties and towns, and even ambassadors and dignitaries living in the inner city, all saw the huge column of light that pierced through the sky and the earth.

The waves of wailing coming from the sea made them subconsciously shrink their bodies in fear.

The news soon spread to the Asian Magic Association, causing a heated debate.

The person at the center of the argument was actually taking a little girl to study some turbid white substance on a public beach.

"Look here." Lingling stretched out her hand, dipped it, rubbed it on the back of her hand and looked at the sun: "This sea salt is colored."

These colored sea salts were discovered by the two in the wetlands where dragon king ants gathered. Days of exposure to the sun turned the seawater in the potholes into sea salt.

"I've seen this kind of sea salt in the Hunter's Notes. It's formed because there is salt flower stone somewhere where the waves are washed in this direction. After continuous erosion by sea water, the sea water becomes rich in this salt, and after being exposed to the sun, it becomes this kind of seaweed green." Lingling said.

When it comes to professional knowledge, Lingling's big, watery eyes sparkle with wisdom.

Xu Fang picked up the bodies of several dragon king ants and carefully measured them using sound analysis: "The salinity of their body fluids is many times higher than that of ordinary seawater, even exceeding the maximum solubility."

"These so-called body fluids are equivalent to the blood of the Dragon King Ant, which supplies body functions!" Lingling added.

The dragon king ant's body requires a huge amount of salt.

Because seawater is rich in salt, it becomes the perfect natural breeding ground for them.

But the salt content in ordinary seawater is still limited, so they will gnaw on rocks, sea stones, and dam concrete out of instinct!

"I remember that Dean Xiao has a water circulation formation. Can we set up a fresh water barrier in the open sea?" Xu Fang asked subconsciously.

"How can it be!"

Lingling directly denied it: "If you want to create so much fresh water at once, you have to ask the person in Antarctica to help. Besides, the cost of building a water circulation array is too high. Most cities can't afford it!"

"Then let's start with the natural enemies of the Dragon King Ants!" Xu Fang said, "Since this thing has not multiplied to the point where it is all over the world, it means there must be hostile or even restrained races. Let's see if we can tame these races!"

"Then let's go find the Dragon King Ant's nest!"

Lingling said: "Find the place with the highest salt content, and you'll find these guys!"

······

Gujarat.

This is a long coastal mudflat from the Gulf of Kutch to the Gulf of Cambay. It has a history of sea salt production for more than 2,300 years and accounts for 70% of the sea salt production in the entire Balat.

Like Ligu County, a treasure trove of aquatic products, residents of Gujarat are also not allowed to enter the land and sea dams.

"There are several factories over there." Xu Fang sniffed and smelled a slightly pungent odor.

"It should be a magic potion. Barat's imitation magic potion is quite famous." Lingling said.

It is called a factory, but when you look closer it is actually a small workshop.

It was getting dark, but the factory was still brightly lit, with many shirtless night shift workers working.

They sprinkled the salt crystals harvested from the seashore into the sea water, and some people turned the machines, which made strange squeaking sounds that made people's teeth ache.

Soon, something was pulled out of the water.

It turned out to be a very densely stitched metal net. When it was dragged out, a large amount of seawater seeped out of it.

However, some of the sea water strangely remained in the metal net and was then pulled ashore!

Fishing in the sea?

"This is the Dragon King Ant!"

Lingling was surprised and said, "These workers know that Dragon King Ants like sea salt, and they use this to catch them!"

What is the otherworldly version of Dawoxianren?

Xu Fang looked carefully and saw that the dragon king ant tried to bite open the fishing net with its jaws that were strong enough to bite through hard concrete, but only shallow scratches were left.

The subsequent dragon king ants followed suit, attacking and biting again and again, but the results were exactly the same.

The dragon king ants began to become anxious. They squirmed quickly in the metal net, their tentacles constantly touching the indestructible obstacle, looking for a breakthrough but always in vain.

"Why are these villagers catching the Dragon King Ants? Are they raising them?" Lingling frowned.

Xu Fang did not answer. He took out a few Worker Bees from the hidden stars and released them. The military version of the Worker Bees blended silently into the night.

How could these ordinary workers, Muggles without any magical power, discover something as small as a fly?

Soon, the worker bees reaped the rewards.

In another room, rows of workbenches were scattered around, on which were placed raw mineral samples extracted from the bodies of dragon king ants.

These samples were mixed with impurities such as the dragon king ants' body fluids, tissue fragments, and dirt.

The workers roughly picked up the dragon king ants one by one and fixed them directly on a special device.

Bang!

Bang!

The scene was brutal, with the dragon king ants' body fluids splattering and the air filled with a pungent smell of blood.

Wow————! ! !

Rinse with specially made potion, and as the solution flows, impurities are stripped away, leaving behind purer mineral particles.

The particles are sealed, packaged and shipped away.

Xu Fang opened up the poison space, shot a few poisonous insects over, and quickly brought back a few bottles of samples.

Phonetic analysis started!

"This thing is very strong, even stronger than the embankment stones." Xu Fang said.

Without considering the Core of the Earth barrier, dike stone is the best building material, there is no other!

Even a creature as abnormal as the Dragon King Ant can only enrich this kind of material instead of digesting it!

The two went straight into the factory.

Faced with their sudden intrusion, the workers seemed extremely flustered.

Xu Fang and Lingling had fair skin and healthy bodies that showed they had never suffered from hunger or hardship. They looked like gentlemen from the inner city!

Pfft!

A large group of people knelt down, and Ulala was saying something that was completely incomprehensible.

They didn't even dare to kneel too close, because it would be easy to step on the shadow of the nobleman, which would be a blasphemy and insult to the master!

Lingling used the translation software on her small computer to communicate with these people, while Xu Fang found the huge fishing net.

Sure enough, fishing nets are also made of this mineral.

"Did you find out anything?" Xu Fang asked. Lingling shook her head: "They refused to tell us and only asked us to spare their lives."

"Look at this net." Xu Fang said, "With the strength of this mineral, it is impossible for such a small workshop to make such a fine fishing net. And this crane that is lifting the fishing net is driven by a magic circle. How did they get it?"

Lingling nodded, a little worried: "If they are just making a profit and selling minerals, it's fine, but if these people are blinded by greed and do whatever it takes..."

The two looked at each other.

Teacher Ma said that for these greedy capitalists, if there is a 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere;

With a 20% profit, it comes alive;

With 50% profit, it takes risks;

For 100% profit, it dares to trample all human laws;

With a 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime, even the risk of being hanged!

Back then, Councillor Luo Mian of Hangzhou caused a huge plague for his own inferior blood business, and then put the blame on Xuan She and killed all those who knew about the situation.

In the Feiniao Base City in the South China Sea, in order to seize the mineral veins of Fanxue Mountain, several major families joined forces and were determined to besiege Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue even at the cost of their reputation.

Who knows what the capitalists here are doing behind the scenes?

What terrible consequences will these activities bring?
