Chapter 459 Feeding Problems
Lin Changqing immediately felt an invisible wave that was rapidly expanding outward with this second-order Shocking Cicada as its center.
It only took a moment to reach Chen Ziya, and then he immediately saw Chen Ziya in a shaky state.
Lin Changqing was shocked and quickly threw the second-level Shocking Spirit Cicada in his hand back into the spirit beast bracelet, then rushed over and supported Chen Ziya.
After three or four breaths, she almost recovered. Without Lin Changqing asking, she said directly:
“This kind of spiritual attack has no warning signs. When you hear the sound, you’ve already been hit!
I suddenly felt dizzy and almost lost control of my body and fell down!
This is just one, if there were a group, it would probably turn a few hundred feet in radius into a dead zone!"
Lin Changqing nodded. He knew this aspect best!
After all, when he was in the Purple Bamboo Forest, he saw that there were really no living creatures except the God-Shocking Cicada! There really wasn't even a living insect.
Because there is no living creature that can withstand this kind of continuous spiritual attack, a terrifying cicada may only make a person lose consciousness for a few breaths, and it is not fatal.
But a group of Soul-Shocking Cicadas can kill any cultivator or spiritual beast that enters their attack range!
After confirming that there was no problem with Chen Ziya, Lin Changqing said, “Should we test it again?
Let's see if we increase the distance a little bit! Will the effect be different? And we can also test their maximum attack distance!
This way, when you use it in the future, you will have an idea in mind to avoid any oolong incidents!"
After hearing this, Chen Ziya agreed very much and immediately adjusted the formation to the largest coverage area.
Then he ran to a place one hundred and fifty feet away from Lin Changqing, and stood on guard with full concentration.
After Lin Changqing saw that she was ready, he took out a second-level Shocking Cicada from the spirit beast bracelet.
They all looked like birds. They were frightened by the sudden change of environment and started screaming as soon as they came out.
But this time, although Chen Ziya was still the same, her body was in a state of shock, she looked a little dazed and unable to control herself.
However, after about two breaths, she returned to normal. It seems that the farther the distance, the weaker the effect of the soul-stirring technique!
Let Chen Ziya retreat about two hundred feet, and then Lin Changqing took out the Shocking Soul Cicada again. This time her body was still alive, but it only lasted for about a breath.
He recovered completely. As for longer distances, Lin Changqing felt there was no need to test it again. He already had an idea in his mind!
The effective attack range of a single second-order Shocking Cicada is about two hundred feet. If multiple ones are stacked together, the distance should be increased and the effect should be even stronger!
However, this cannot be tested for the time being, so Chen Ziya was called back. She was very interested in the Shocking Cicada.
Holding Lin Changqing's hand, he said with a smile: "Brother Qing! I want some God-shaking cicadas. Can you give me some?"
Lin Changqing knew this would happen, and couldn't help but said with a smile: "There are hundreds of God-shaking Cicadas in my spirit beast bracelet!
There's definitely no problem in giving you some. I originally wanted to give them to you and your family for protection.
But the problem is, they are already adults, it is not easy to tame them! It will definitely take a lot of time, slowly!
It is even possible that there will be no way to tame them, let alone contract them!
If they really appear and we can't subdue them, then we can only wait for them to breed. Then we can get their eggs and it won't be a problem to contract them! " Chen Ziya was a little disappointed after hearing this. She was still thinking about whether she could contract them as soon as possible, so that they would have another killer weapon in this secret realm!
Unexpectedly, even Lin Changqing, a cultivator with the legacy of insect cultivation, couldn't contract them.
But in the end, she couldn't help but ask, "Then can't we force them to sign a contract?"
Lin Changqing shook his head and explained, "They are soul-attributed spirit insects. Their soul strength is not much worse than that of cultivators. How can you force them to make a contract?
And the most important problem now is not to contract them, but to solve the problem of their feeding first.
I caught them two or three days ago, but I haven't had anything suitable to feed them. If this continues, they will surely starve to death!"
Chen Ziya asked curiously, "What do these God-shaking cicadas mainly eat?"
"Their main food is the juice of spiritual trees and bamboos, or spiritual liquids rich in spiritual energy. I found them in a purple bamboo forest!
Many first and second level purple bamboos were sucked dry and killed by them, so it is not easy to keep them alive!
If we only rely on purchasing spiritual liquid from outside to feed them, it may be okay in the short term, but in the long run, it will also be a huge number!
This is also the reason why insect cultivators are so rare in the world of immortal cultivation, so you must think it through first!"
Hearing that their food is spiritual liquid and tree sap, Chen Ziya also had a headache. It would be kind to just give them a small amount of these things.
If it is needed for a long time, it will not be an easy thing. You know, tree sap is almost equivalent to the blood of a spiritual plant.
If too much is absorbed, the spiritual plant will not be able to survive, so no one is willing to waste it.
So this is a very realistic problem and it is really a headache.
At this time, Chen Ziya saw that Lin Changqing didn't seem too anxious.
Suddenly he realized that he might have found a solution, so he couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Qing! You don't seem to be in a hurry at all. Do you have a solution? Tell me now and stop keeping us in suspense!"
Lin Changqing laughed when he heard this. Chen Ziya was quite smart and guessed it right away. He already had a solution.
So he stopped keeping the secret and said directly: "I think we can go back to where we found these cicadas.
By utilizing the existing purple bamboo forest, their food problem can be temporarily solved.
Then I also have some spiritual plant bags, which are specially used for transplanting larger spiritual medicines or spiritual plants. We can directly dig some mature purple bamboo bushes and bring them back.
Each spiritual plant bag can hold about a dozen clumps of purple bamboo, which should not be a problem!
At that time, these purple bamboo bushes can be planted around your residence, thus solving the food problem of the cicadas.
It also provides them with a place to live, so they can protect you at the same time.”
