Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 537 - 280: Heading to the Yang Kingdom, Fierce Insect Plague [Subscribe Requested]_3

This was an unexpected pleasure for the five members of the Zhou Family, and it deepened their understanding of the impact of the bug calamity.

Through conversations with the cultivators of the Dayun Nation, Zhou Chun and his companions quickly learned much information that Master Qingwei had not mentioned before.

For example, before the arrival of the Zhou Family members, cultivators from the Yang Kingdom and the Dayun Nation had also gathered a large number of alchemists and poison-using cultivators to develop poisons targeting the Demon Insects.

In the beginning, they did indeed come up with quite a few effective poisons.

However, everyone soon realized that due to the enormity of the swarms, it was nearly impossible to find enough raw materials for the poisons to achieve large-scale extermination of the insects.

Moreover, the Demon Insects within the calamity themselves had a very strong ability to adapt; after a type of poison killed a large number of Demon Insects, those that survived would develop resistance, and this resistance would be passed on to their offspring.

Consequently, if one could not kill a sufficient number of Demon Insects at once, the same poison would hardly be effective against the swarm thereafter.

As for the poison that could kill a sufficient number of Demon Insects, no one had heard of any successful research to date.

The currently recognized best methods of extermination turned out to be burning with fire and freezing with ice.

Within the territory of the Yang Kingdom, wherever it was possible to burn, the cultivators had set fire to it once over—to kill the lower-order Demon Insects and some of the eggs and also to reduce the amount of food available to the swarms.

The freezing was due to the Demon Insects’ general aversion to cold; using Ice Element Techniques against the Demon Insects could deal critical damage, except for some that had mutated to possess ice attributes.

"Seeing is believing. Tomorrow, I will accompany Zhengchun to the Yang Kingdom to encounter the swarm and capture some live insects for research. Jiapeng, you and the others continue to inquire and gather information about the bug calamity here in the marketplace," said Zhou Mingde after gaining some understanding of the bug calamity in the Yang Kingdom, as he gathered Zhou Chun and the others for instructions.

Naturally, no one had any objection to his arrangement.

So, the next day, Zhou Chun set out for the Yang Kingdom with Zhou Mingde.

As they were dealing with Demon Insects this time, they were unconcerned about whether to keep a low or high profile, and simply did whatever was convenient.

The two directly mounted Zhou Chun’s Golden Winged Tiger and headed for the Yang Kingdom, arriving there by noon.

At that time, the border distinguishing the territories of the Yang Kingdom from the Dayun Nation was starkly evident; the charred wasteland indicated the Yang Kingdom, while green hills and waters marked the Dayun Nation.

About fifty to sixty miles into the scorched lands of the Yang Kingdom, Zhou Chun and his companion detected the shadows of Demon Insects foraging on the ground through their Divine Sense.

The great fire had destroyed vegetation, but it also killed many birds and beasts. Now, the land of the Yang Kingdom was littered with their corpses.

And naturally, the Demon Insects wouldn’t pass up such readily available food.

Seeing these Demon Insects, Zhou Chun wanted to put them to the test immediately.

But Zhou Mingde held him back.

"Don’t hurry to act yet. See if we can follow these Demon Insects back to their nests. It would be good if we could capture a few second-order Demon Insects," he said.

After hearing this, Zhou Chun had no choice but to hold back. He put away the Golden Winged Tiger and, together with Zhou Mingde, concealed their presence and began to discreetly observe and follow the foraging Demon Insects.

Some time passed, and by dusk, the two finally followed the foraging Demon Insects to the location of their nest.
