Chapter 3 A Massive Slaughter!
Jiang Heng looked at the words that popped up in front of him, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Fortunately, he quickly suppressed his laughter.
Jiang Heng, with a stern face, picked up the hose and walked towards the ant nest ahead.
"This young man is picking a fight with ants first thing in the morning..."
Old Li leisurely smoked his cigarette, watching Jiang Heng's departing figure.
"But it's a good cigarette..."
He thought to himself that he never tired of watching the "rushing into the ant nest" incident, so he followed along.
"Go for it! These little brats are really annoying."
Old Li stood next to Jiang Heng, "Especially before it rains, it's eerily dark and gloomy."
"really."
Jiang Heng gripped the cold tube, listening to Old Li as he aimed at the nearest ant nest.
Pinch the tube opening tightly with your fingers!
laugh-
A powerful jet of water, accompanied by the sound of rushing water, roared like a water dragon emerging from the sea, hurtling towards the small mound below.
Whoosh!
The small mound crumbled instantly under the force of the water dragon.
The water that spread across the ground carried mud, sand, and panicked "blood-eating ant beasts," surging and spreading across the surrounding mountains and fields, creating a scene of great carnage.
[You activated the magical artifact 'Azure Spring,' unleashing a torrent of mortal water that dealt a devastating blow to the 'Blood-Eating Ant Vanguard Camp,' throwing the ant rebels into chaos.]
"Cool!"
Looking at the scattered ant nests at his feet, Jiang Heng felt a strange sense of accomplishment welling up inside him.
Seriously, this is so much better than copying documents at the office.
"You can't escape either..."
After Jiang Heng captured the vanguard camp, he immediately turned the pipe of the "Magic Treasure: Emerald Spring" and set his sights on the next target.
laugh-
A strange noise rang out, the earth shook, and yet another "rebel stronghold" was reduced to ashes.
"..." Old Li smoked a cigarette on the side, watching Jiang Heng's serious attitude as a "model of eliminating the four pests", and found it particularly interesting.
He couldn't resist walking over and giving his opinions from the side.
"Hey, you can't just rinsing randomly. There's a proper way to rinsing."
"It's like that one, that one! The one the size of a mound, that must be the main nest!"
"Yes, yes, right there under the grass roots next to you, there's definitely another nest there, flush it down!"
"You're not using enough force! It's not going in properly, squeeze tighter..."
While watching the excitement, he shared his experience of catching ants with Jiang Heng.
In the end, he found Jiang Heng quite interesting and they even started chatting.
"Young man, which company do you work for? You're at work so early?"
"Sigh, don't even mention Brother Li." Jiang Heng complained skillfully while 'slaying the alien race,' "At work, I get scolded like a grandson every day."
"Hey, it would be great if we could make some money." Old Li felt the same way. "It's not easy for anyone, even garlic farmers."
Like us, our job looks easy, but the weather is so hot in the summer and freezing in the winter.
"This is different." Jiang Heng shook his head. "Brother Li, this is landscaping, at least it's serving the people."
Our work is purely for the benefit of the people's money.
"Hahaha! Brilliant!" Old Li laughed, then looked at the ant nest full of holes, "But to be honest..."
Your dedication to dealing with ants so early in the morning is really to my liking; it's energetic and full of vitality...
One of them was responsible for 'magic weapon output', and the other was responsible for 'tactical guidance'.
The atmosphere was quite harmonious.
And under Lao Li's precise guidance.
Jiang Heng squeezed the hose again, flushing away the mud and carrying a queen ant deeper into the soil.
[You and your fellow Daoist from the Heavenly Crafts Water Department joined forces to cast a spell. Under your guidance, you precisely struck multiple troop strongholds and logistical nodes of the "Blood-Eating Ant Rebels."]
The power of the magical artifact "Azure Spring" continued to be displayed; wherever the water flowed, the ant rebels crumbled and were routed.
The rebellious "Demon King," attempting to organize his remaining forces for a last stand, was blasted into an underground abyss by a precise spell, his fate unknown.
……
Under Lao Li's enthusiastic and continuous direction, saying things like "There's another one here..." and "There's another one there..."
Jiang Heng thoroughly cleaned up all seven or eight ant nests within his sight.
Before long, the edge of the lawn was muddy, and the surviving ants scattered and fled, no longer as powerful as before.
Finally, when the last small mound of earth nearby turned into mud under the jet of water.
Jiang Heng also saw the long-awaited notification.
The Heavenly Water Department's magical treasure, "Azure Wave Spring," possesses immense divine power; even the power of mortal water is beyond the resistance of insignificant beasts in the lower realms.
The main force of the rebellious ant tribe has been wiped out, and the remnants have scattered. It is unlikely that they will be able to reunite within several years.
[Congratulations! You have successfully thwarted the rebellion of the blood-eating ant beasts from the lower realm and safeguarded the peace of the human world's borders.]
[Reward 1: One random basic water-attribute cultivation technique]
[Reward 2: Low-level Water Attribute Spirit Stone *1]
"It's done!"
Jiang Heng was delighted and then handed the water pipe back to Old Li, who was still not satisfied.
"Brother Li! Thank you so much!"
As he spoke, Jiang Heng realized something was amiss and pointed downwards, saying, "It looks much cleaner now!"
"Hey, it's nothing!"
Old Li took the water pipe and looked at the messy ant nest, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.
"Watching you get so focused just now was quite stress-relieving! It was like you were in the middle of a battle."
He patted Jiang Heng on the shoulder, "Hurry up and go to work, don't be late."
"Come find me again if you want to fight ants again."
"Okay!"
Jiang Heng thanked him and turned to leave quickly.
After walking a dozen meters and turning a corner, I confirmed that Old Li was out of sight.
Jiang Heng's heart pounded with excitement. He immediately looked at the panel and used his consciousness to tap on the newly appeared [Cultivation Techniques] section.
Upon opening it, a dark blue thread-bound book lay quietly in the first slot of the inventory.
The ink-wash characters are clearly visible on the pages.
Basic Water Guiding Techniques
"A cultivation technique...it really is a cultivation technique..."
Jiang Heng's heart pounded even faster, and he tried to use his mind to "click" on the book.
The next second, a line of text appeared.
Should we study the "Basic Water Guiding Techniques"?
"study……"
Jiang Heng confirmed without hesitation.
After Jiang Heng confirmed it, countless memories about how to activate the water element suddenly flooded into his mind like a sudden awakening.
You have learned the basic water-elemental techniques.
"Guiding weak water elements..."
Jiang Heng pondered the cultivation technique he had memorized, and then looked around at the pedestrians.
Although it was noisy, Jiang Heng couldn't wait to concentrate as much as possible to sense his surroundings and try out the effects of his technique.
According to the secret manual, this is not "drawing qi into the body", but simply feeling the spiritual energy, and will not cause one to go astray.
And in the next second.
Jiang Heng seemed to sense that the world had changed slightly.
Because of the morning watering and the light mist created by the passing water truck, everything seemed a little clearer in my perception at this moment.
However, this is just ordinary water, not spiritual energy, so it cannot be absorbed.
However, it can drive "water-related spiritual energy" to indirectly attract and control them.
However, Jiang Heng also sensed that there was basically no 'water-attribute spiritual energy' in the air.
"0.005% spiritual energy concentration... At this efficiency, even practicing for hundreds of years wouldn't be enough to conjure a water sphere..."
Jiang Heng shook his head inwardly and quickly looked at the newly appeared [Inventory].
There is a smooth, glossy stone there.
[Should we extract reality?]
