Dang!
There was a sound, and there was another crisp sound of gold and iron.
Yue Guan was holding the heavy dark golden hoe, breathing heavily.
Sweat slid down his temples, dripped on the hot metal soil, and instantly evaporated into a wisp of white smoke.
He has been sweating here for seven days.
In seven days, this titled Douluo, with his physique and soul power far beyond ordinary people, could only cultivate a small piece of land.
This land would be too crowded for even ten plants, let alone one hundred ruggedia plants.
Every swing of the hoe is like wrestling with a mountain.
The huge force of the shock spread throughout his body along the hoe handle, causing his blood to surge.
This is not farming, it is clearly the most primitive and cruel physical practice.
He glanced not far away.
Bibi Dong and Ning Liu are like two sculptures, sitting still, surrounded by a faint glow of energy.
Yueguan smiled bitterly and tightened his grip on the hoe again.
He had no complaints, he just felt that this test from the gods was a bit...unreasonable.
"Your efficiency is too low."
I don't know how long it has been.
A cold voice sounded from behind.
Yue Guan paused and looked back. Unexpectedly, Bibi Dong was already standing behind him, her purple eyes calmly examining the "masterpiece" he had cultivated.
"Your Majesty." Yue Guan was a little embarrassed.
Bibi Dong didn't say much, she just stretched out her hand and said, "Give me the hoe."
Yue Guan handed it over as she said.
Bibi Dong held the heavy hoe handle with one hand and weighed it.
She did not pour her soul power into it like Yue Guan did. Instead, she restrained her soul power and sunk it into her waist and abdomen. She spread her legs slightly and assumed a pure power-generating posture.
She took a deep breath, exerted strength on her back, tightened her arm muscles, and swung down the hoe suddenly!
!!
Sparks were flying, and the sound was much louder than the movement caused by the moon.
On the ground, a hole that was nearly twice as deep as before suddenly appeared.
But Bibi Dong's arm holding the hoe also trembled slightly.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, "Sure enough, there is something strange. This soil is constantly dissipating the impact."
"Elder Ju, I think you should change your profession to be a blacksmith. This kind of hammering has a better future than farming."
Ning Liu's voice was filled with a smile, and he came over. He squatted down and carefully observed the new hoe mark.
"The density of the laws of this soil is extremely high, and the pure power will be greatly weakened. To break it, what is needed is a kind of... penetrating power."
As he said this, he also took the hoe from Yueguan's hand. He didn't take action immediately, but closed his eyes.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, imitated Bibi Dong's posture, concentrated all his strength on one point, and stabbed down suddenly!
「Pfft!」
A muffled sound. The front end of the hoe was actually half a foot deep into the ground!
Yue Guan and Bibi Dong both looked surprised.
Ning Liu pulled out his hoe and explained:
"You can't fight with brute force, you have to find the weakest node and go with the flow."
"Interesting."
Bibi Dong's lips curled up, as if he had found new fun, "Instead of sitting still, it is better to move your muscles and bones."
“I’m happy to accompany you.” Ning Liu said with a smile.
Hence, a strange picture appeared.
The Pope of Wuhun Temple, the Master of Liulitian, several big figures who could make the mainland tremble with just a stamp of their feet, are now like two ordinary farmers, each with a hoe (the gods seemed to have sensed their joining, and transformed two more), and started the work of land reclamation in full swing.
With two strong reinforcements, especially after Ning Liu found the trick, the progress of the reclamation has been rapid.
Yue Guan also quickly mastered the skill of "going with the flow" and no longer blindly used brute force.
A month later, a field ridge large enough to plant a hundred ruggedia trees was finally cleared.
The next sowing and watering are also not easy.
The seeds of Diamond Chrysanthemum are like golden pebbles. They need to be wrapped with soul power and carefully buried in the soil.
As for the water source required for watering, it requires three people to work together to compress and condense the pure energy in the air with soul power into drops of "spiritual dew" containing the breath of life.
This process is a great test for the consumption and control of soul power.
When all the buds of a hundred rugged chrysanthemums burst out of the ground, shining with a metallic luster, the three of them felt sincerely happy.
However, the trouble has just begun.
Just the second day after the sprouts appeared, a subtle "buzzing" sound came from a distance.
I saw a golden "cloud" appearing on the horizon, flying towards the field ridge at an alarming speed.
“What is that?” Yueguan looked stern.
"Insects." Bibi Dong's tone turned cold.
As the "golden cloud" flew closer, I saw clearly that it was a swarm of thousands of golden beetles the size of a thumb.
These beetles are full of radiance, as fast as lightning, and have clear goals. They pounce on the newly grown rugged buds.
"The gods have reminded me that this is a chrysanthemum, and it must be caught physically."
Yue Guan said anxiously, and rushed out in a flash.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed the chrysanthemum closest to him.
With the reaction speed of his titled Douluo, this catch should have been a sure thing.
However, the chrysanthemum made an incredible turn in mid-air and instantly bypassed his palm without any slowdown in speed.
Yueguan failed to catch him and almost fell down.
"What a fast speed!" He was shocked.
"Their flight trajectory is not a straight line, but they are constantly jumping in space."
Ning Liu's eyes flashed with light. The sword intent of the Kongmeng Sword made him extremely sensitive to space fluctuations.
Bibi Dong took action without saying a word.
She did not chase the flying chrysanthemums, but stood directly in front of the field ridge. Her hands were as fast as phantoms, and she laid an airtight net in an instant.
A chrysanthemum bumped into it.
ifier!
With a crisp sound, the chrysanthemum was accurately pinched by Bibi Dong between her fingers.
She exerted a little force, and the beetle shattered.
But the broken beetle did not turn into flesh and blood. Instead, it exploded at her fingertips and turned into a small stream of extremely pure golden energy, which penetrated into her body along her fingertips.
Bibi Dong's body shook slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed in her purple eyes.
That energy pours into the body, bringing a sense of comfort, which is several times better than directly absorbing the energy in the air!
"This bug..."
"It's a tonic!"
Ning Liu reacted immediately and his eyes lit up.
This is not pest control, this is clearly another gift from the gods!
Yue Guan also understood, and the anxiety on his face instantly turned into ecstasy.
For a time, the three of them were no longer passively defensive, but took the initiative to attack. This vast field instantly became their hunting ground.
Bibi Dong's movements are simple and efficient. Every time he takes a shot, a chrysanthemum will be crushed.
Ning Liu, on the other hand, has an erratic figure. He seems to be able to predict the flight path of chrysanthemums, and can always appear on their route in advance and capture them easily.
Yueguan also found the trick after getting used to it for a while.
He no longer tried to catch up, but relied on his rich combat experience to block the chrysanthemum's hiding space and captured it in one fell swoop.
What was originally a troublesome insect plague has turned into a unique cultivation carnival.
Time passes unconsciously.
Two months later.
In the field ridges, one hundred rugged chrysanthemums have grown to half the height of a person.
Their branches and leaves are dark golden, as if they were carved from metal. In the center of the flower disk, the golden stamens shine brightly, and the entire sacred chrysanthemum garden is filled with a sharp and fragrant atmosphere.
The auras of Yue Guan, Bibi Dong, and Ning Liu also became thicker and thicker during this "hunting" that lasted for two months.
The energy gained from killing chrysanthemums continuously cleansed their bodies and souls, and the effect was far better than simple meditation practice.
Finally, when the last diamond chrysanthemum fully bloomed, the entire sacred chrysanthemum garden was shocked.
A soft golden light fell from the sky and enveloped the moon.
A majestic and majestic voice sounded directly in his mind:
"The second test, Golden Rui Foundation Building, completed."
"The reward life of all soul rings has been increased by two thousand years."
As soon as the words fell, Yue Guan only felt a force coming from the void and pouring into his body.
The nine soul rings behind him emerged on their own.
Purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, black, the nine soul rings shine brightly under the golden light!
Yueguan slowly opened his eyes and bowed deeply to the void, then turned to Ning Liu and Bibi Dong, and saluted solemnly:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Sect Master Ning."
Bibi Dong just nodded lightly, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes.
She gained a lot from this trip to Shenju Garden.
Ning Liu clapped his hands: "Congratulations, Elder Ju, this farmer deserves it."
At this moment, the majestic voice sounded in Yue Guan's mind again, bringing the news of the third test.
Yueguan's expression gradually became solemn.
"What is the content of the third test?" Bibi Dong asked.
Yue Guan raised his head and slowly uttered four words: "Aoju Linghan."
