Chapter 38: Something Unusual Is Going On

"The grain-eating rat is just the lowest creature in the entire Yangkui Domain, but even such a creature caused chaos and almost caused heavy losses to our Lu family."

Lu Ya sat cross-legged on the Qingshan Shield and sighed slightly. The family's ability to withstand risks was really poor. There was not even the simplest formation on this spiritual field that was related to the family's lifeblood.

The number of formations is one of the indicators to measure the strength of a family.

Clan-protecting formations, spirit-gathering formations, concealment formations, attack, defense and other formations are all indispensable for a strong family.

But if any of the above formations were extended to the scope of the family, the price paid would be far beyond what the Lu family could afford today.

The only clan-protecting formation in the clan was originally deployed when the Lu family's ancestors were there. Lu Ya had every reason to believe that this formation had been in existence for a period longer than the eldest elder of the Lu family.

"It's a long road ahead."

Lu Ya looked at the clan members who were a little disgraced from cleaning up the battlefield, and silently added the goal of strengthening the family's ability to resist risks to his future plans.

However, these are not something that can be achieved in a short period of time.

Lu Ya sighed and joined the team cleaning the battlefield.

A few half-year-old children of the Yang generation who were only at the first or second level of Qi training were currently cleaning up the rat corpses while laughing and playing.

Lu Ya even saw Lu Sen, the child of his seventh uncle's family, holding a roasted golden thigh in his hand and chewing it with relish.

Although Lu Ya already had speculations in his mind, he still had some expectations.

"Lu Sen, what did you eat!"

Lu Sen is the child of the seventh uncle's family. He is only in his early thirteen years. When he saw Lu Ya, the best person of his generation, coming over, he immediately smiled and said, "Second brother, he is a grain-eating rat. He is very fat."

As he said that, he handed a large portion of the leg meat in front of Lu Ya, seemingly gesturing to Lu Ya to try it.

‘This is edible too! ’

Looking at the golden rat leg handed over by Lu Sen, Lu Ya calmly moved back half a step.

In his understanding, creatures like mice are full of viruses and bacteria, and if you are not careful, you can get a "three-day trip to the hospital" gift package.

Once when he was on a business trip to the south, he saw a dish called "Sanzhi'er" in a local restaurant. It was expensive, and he ordered it without knowing why.

Before "San Zhi'er" came, he ate very happily. After "San Zhi'er" came, the floor in front of him ate very happily.

"Why don't you put it down first, and we can finish the work at hand and then go home for dinner."

Lu Ya endured some discomfort and put forward constructive suggestions to Lu Sen.

"Okay, listen to my second brother, I'll go to work right now."

Despite his young age, Lu Sen was as strong as a calf. After hearing this, he finished showing off the roasted rat legs in his hands, then picked up the tools and went to work.

Lu Ya: "."

"Be sure to clean it up without leaving any residue. Remember to use exorcism to clean it again after handling it."

Lu Dingbo directed everyone to clean up, and at the same time kept giving instructions.

"Chief, what are you worried about?"

When Lu Ya passed by Lu Dingbo, he saw his frown and couldn't help but ask.

Lu Dingbo glanced at Lu Ya, frowned slightly, and explained: "Too many grain-eating rats died this time, and the resentment was too great. This kind of environment is most likely to breed evil spirits and weird things. Once they are born, we must The force of the thunder will crush it and kill it, otherwise the harm will be endless."

"Evil and weird?" Lu Ya has always heard that there are all kinds of evil and weird in this world, and all kinds of dangers and horrors.

But he had never seen it before. After hearing what Lu Dingbo said, although he didn't want any evil spirits to arise, he still inevitably had the idea of ​​seeing a real evil spirit.

He took the opportunity to take a look at the exorcism technique that had already reached its peak, and his mind suddenly calmed down.

Then he comforted Lu Dingbo and said, "Clan Chief, evil spirits are not born so easily. Besides, there are so many of us here, even if there are us, it will be enough to deal with it."

Lu Dingbo nodded. He agreed with Lu Ya's words, but there was nothing wrong with being cautious.

The grain-eating rats attacked the spiritual field for a whole night, and it was extremely difficult to clean it up at this time.

Until the afternoon, three rat piles as high as hills were piled up a hundred meters away from the Lu family's spiritual field.

Then the flames ignited, and the pile of corpses suddenly turned into three huge torches, with a burning smell mixed in the billowing black smoke.

Under Lu Dingbo's arrangement, all clan members below the late stage of Qi practice returned to their families, while a few people in the later stage of Qi practice stood not far from the "torch", watching the fire slowly get shorter.

Lu Yuan stood next to Lu Ya and said to him when he saw this: "If the number of grain-eating rats is small, they can be chopped into pieces and directly used to fertilize the fields. This way the harvest next year can be increased by at least one to two percent.

However, in this case, this approach is not suitable. "

Lu Yuan picked up a ball of soil soaked in black from the ground and continued: "It may be a waste to burn it into ashes, but it has some effect."

Lu Ya nodded to express his understanding.

"Speaking of which, when you came to play in the spiritual field when you were a child, you always shouted to eat corn rats," Lu Yuan looked at the torch with nostalgia in his eyes, completely ignoring Lu Ya's feelings next to him.

"Stop talking about this, father, tell me why this corn-eating rat is so crazy."

Lu Ya tried his best to find a topic to avoid returning to this embarrassing and sensitive topic when he was a child.

Lu Yuan's eyes were full of confusion: "This matter is really strange. My father has been planting spiritual grains for many years, and I have been dealing with grain-eating rats for more than ten years. Logically, they are timid and cautious by nature, greedy but cherishing their lives, and they will never do such crazy things.

But in fact, they did it. With so many monks defending, it is better to say that they are sending themselves to death than to attack the spiritual field."

Lu Ya nodded in agreement and wondered: "It is indeed sending themselves to death, but what is their purpose? Is it just to send themselves to death?"

As soon as the voice fell, he denied it himself, "Even if the grain-eating rats are willing to die, the rat king among the grain-eating rats will not let them do so. There must be some reasons we don't know."

Lu Ya rubbed the finely interwoven patterns on the handle with his fingertips, and the reason made him a little uneasy.

Thinking of the news said by the shopkeeper of the magic weapon shop before, Lu Ya had a terrifying idea in his mind.

But when he thought of the gap between the big monster mentioned by the shopkeeper and the grain-eating rat, Lu Ya denied this absurd idea.

After waiting for a while, the three torches gradually went out, and the remaining wisps of black smoke gradually dissipated in the cold wind.

After a series of exorcism spells, Lu Dingbo felt relieved and led everyone back to the family.

Lu Ya took the initiative to ask to stay and accompany his father and others to guard the spiritual field.
