In fact, this situation was a bit similar to what Zhao Hai had imagined in the Black Waste. However, Zhao Hai wouldn't send people to manage them. If he wanted the slaves to build a village, he would first restore their civilian status.
It seems that the Purcell clan also understood that if you want a horse to run, you have to let the horse eat grass. They gave these slaves a better life than other slaves, and also let them start a family here. In the end, it was all for themselves. Even if it was a big clan like the Purcell clan, it was impossible to buy hundreds of thousands of new slaves every year to supplement their own clan. That would be too much of a loss. Therefore, they kept the slaves here in captivity. This way, the slaves would be able to start a family and give birth to children. These children would be born as slaves, and these slaves were often more useful than the newly bought slaves.
Zhao Hai and Green looked at a few small villages and didn't continue to look. In any case, these small villages were almost the same. Whether they looked at them or not, it didn't matter. They still had to deal with serious matters first.
Zhao Hai chose a place far away from where people lived and stopped. He hadn't used the pest attack yet, so he wanted to see how powerful the pest attack would be.
Green stood next to Zhao Hai and motionlessly looked at Zhao Hai. He really wanted to see how powerful the pest attack that Zhao Hai spoke of was. The two of them actually had the same idea.
Zhao Hai gently raised the Ghost Cane and whispered, "Release the pest!"
The cane immediately shot out a projection and stopped in front of Zhao Hai. Then a prompt sounded, "Host, please select the area to release the pest. One mu, ten mu, one hundred mu. "Three options appeared on the projection.
Zhao Hai immediately understood what it meant. He chose one hundred mu, but the projection didn't disappear. It just changed the screen and the prompt sounded again, "Please select the density of the pest. One (per plant), two (per mark), three (per plant), four (per plant), five (per plant)." There were a total of five options.
Zhao thought for a moment, then looked at the wheat-like crops. He steeled his heart and chose the highest five plants, which was the one with the most plants.
Zhao Hai thought that this was the end. He didn't think that the scene on the projection would change. The prompt sounded again, "Please select the pest's survival time. One day, seven days, ten days, one month."
Zhao Hai immediately chose one month. After selecting this option, the prompt from the space didn't come again. The projection also disappeared, but from the cane, a yellow light flashed and disappeared. Then Zhao Hai and Green heard a rustling sound coming from the wheat field in front of them. The two looked down and couldn't help but feel scared.
It turned out that in the wheat field in front of them, there were five fat worms crawling on each stalk of wheat. They were eating the wheat with all their might. In a short time, the leaves of the wheat were bitten and a big hole was left.
Zhao Hai and Green looked at this scene and felt their scalps go numb. They didn't think that it would be like this. Looking at the situation, they feared that the wheat would be eaten by these five fat worms in a short time.
Zhao Hai stood up and let out a long breath. Green also stood up and looked at Zhao Hai with a shocked face, "Master, this is the pest casting ability you mentioned?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, this is the pest casting ability. In front of us, there are five of these worms on each stalk of wheat."
Green glanced at the wheat field in front of them. His heart was even more shocked. Just a yellow light flashed and in this good wheat field, there suddenly appeared these big worms. Moreover, there were five worms on each stalk. This was really terrible. This was simply the ability to create life. It was a god-like ability.
Zhao Hai didn't tell Green that these worms had a life span of one month. The key point was that he didn't understand the concept of these worms surviving for a month. When the Purcell clan found these worms on the wheat, they would certainly kill them. At that time, these worms would be killed. Naturally, they wouldn't be able to survive for a month. Therefore, he didn't tell Green.
However, Green was also a person who had seen a big scene. He also knew about the magic of the space. He quickly calmed down and turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Master, should we go somewhere else and release some worms?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Release, we must release them. I want these worms to eat all the wheat in the Ica plain."
Green laughed and pulled Zhao Hai a few times. They crossed the hundred mu wheat field where the worms were released and arrived at another wheat field. Zhao Hai continued to release the worms and then went to the next place to continue.
In the end, Zhao Hai didn't know how many wheat fields he had destroyed. However, he still released the worms in a regular pattern. He started from the edge of the forest, so that the Purcell clan would have the illusion that these worms were naturally born.
This night, Zhao Hai and Green were really tired. The two of them kept running back and forth. Zhao Hai didn't release Alien. It was strange to say that when he released the zombies, the undead creatures in the space all turned into zombies. Only Alien didn't change and still had its original appearance. For Zhao Hai, this was a good thing. If Alien also turned into zombies, he wouldn't be able to directly see the situation outside.
This time, Zhao Hai didn't release Alien. It was because Alien's body was too big. It was easy to be exposed and also easy to leave traces. If the Purcell clan saw those traces, they might find out that this insect disaster was man-made. That wouldn't be fun.
About three hours before dawn, Zhao Hai and Green returned to the space to rest. Green knew that the slaves wouldn't wait until dawn to work. The supervisors wouldn't let the slaves rest for so long. If they waited until dawn to rest, it was likely that they would be found.
The two of them were really tired this night. They immediately went to sleep when they entered the space. The situation outside the space was worse than what they had imagined.
Zhao Hai underestimated the destructive power of the insects to the crops. Five large meat bugs were constantly gnawing on the wheat seedlings. The damage done to the wheat was hard to imagine. In just one night, a lot of wheat had been gnawed.
What was even more frightening was that the meat bugs didn't disappear after eating a wheat seedling. Instead, they crawled down from the wheat seedling and moved on to the next one.
Zhao Hai didn't count. In fact, they had changed more than a hundred places in one night. This was because Green was now at the peak of 8th rank. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to do this.
In other words, that night, Zhao had placed insects on more than ten thousand mu of wheat fields, five on each stalk of wheat. By the time they placed insects in the last hundred mu, the first hundred mu had already been eaten up by the insects. The mighty insect army had already begun to develop deeper into the field.
Zhao Hai and Green went to sleep when they entered the space. Naturally, they didn't know about the situation outside. When dawn came, the slaves also woke up. Their main job was to weed the wheat seedlings. If they found any insects, they would kill them.
It wasn't the busy season yet. Therefore, the slaves were relatively relaxed. After they woke up, they went to patrol the fields.
The slaves that Zhao Hai had let go of the insects were stunned when they arrived at the fields. Their scalps tingled as they looked at everything in front of them.
Fat insects were lying on the wheat seedlings. They were crazily gnawing on the wheat seedlings. When they looked further, they couldn't see any complete wheat seedlings. Only the stalks were left standing.
Not to mention the slaves, even the supervisors were stunned. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. This was too frightening.
Suddenly, a slave reacted. He shouted and rushed towards the wheat seedlings. He used his hands to hit the insects on the wheat seedlings and then stepped on them.
The slave's reaction made the other people react. They immediately rushed up, beat the bug to the ground, and trampled it to death.
The overseer woke up from his stupor. His face paled as he looked at the situation in the field and around him. Then, he didn't follow the slaves to exterminate the insects. Instead, he turned around and ran towards the small village where they lived.
In their small village, they would raise some scaled wildebeests. These scaled wildebeests could be used to plow the fields. If something happened, they could also be ridden to send messages. The steward wanted to ride a scaled wildebeest to send a message to his family.
The supervisor had seen that the insects weren't just a small group. He looked around and saw that a large part of the wheat seedlings had been gnawed. He didn't know how big the insect disaster was, but he was sure that if the insect disaster wasn't extinguished as soon as possible, then the grain production in the Ica plains would be greatly reduced.
The supervisor didn't know that there were many people with the same status as him doing the same thing. They were all riding scaled wildebeests towards the Purcell clan's station.
The reason why the slaves worked so hard to kill the insects was because if they couldn't harvest the grain in their fields, then the food they got would be reduced. Their days were not very good. If the food was reduced, then it would be even worse.
The Purcell clan's management in the Ica plains was very good. In addition to the small villages where the slaves lived, there was a small station not far from them. It was usually used to pass messages and distribute supplies to the slaves. During the autumn harvest, it became a grain station, specifically responsible for collecting grain.
The Purcell clan used this station to control the entire Ica plains. No matter where it was, if there was any movement, they could get the news in the shortest time possible
