Shen Feng, after ordering his subordinates to begin poisoning, led his men to find a place on a nearby mountain to set up camp. Although they did not carry tents, they had the most basic sleeping bags, so they had a place to stay even in the mountains. These sleeping bags were made of aerospace materials, were waterproof, and had excellent thermal insulation. Even in the deep mountains, the autumn wind could not make them feel too cold.
To determine the effectiveness of these poisons, they could not leave for a short time. They could only observe nearby for a few days to determine if these fruit flies would be poisoned.
In the valley, many bottles and jars were scattered on the ground. Many swamps and streams were filled with poison. Although it was not visible from the outside and had no special taste, anyone who drank the stream water at this time would quickly be poisoned and die. This had been tested, and even giant monkeys would die quickly after drinking this poisoned water.
"You can stop the strong winds. Next, we need to defend ourselves. You and I can cooperate to create a barrier around us," Chu Chaoyan said to Shen Feng.
Shen Feng immediately stopped the strong winds and began to set up a barrier for their living area. Chu Chaoyan produced poison gas on the spot, while Shen Feng used gentle winds to control the poison gas to form a barrier around them, preventing the fruit flies from getting close.
Shen Feng, known as the God of Wind, naturally had his own abilities. He could create a barrier that allowed air to circulate continuously while forming a barrier of poison gas around it. This way, everyone could move within this area without being disturbed by the fruit flies.
In the observation of the past few days, the number of fruit flies had been decreasing, and many fruit flies even fell directly from the sky, twitching a few times on the ground before becoming still. The entire ground was covered with a dense mass of insects. Seeing this, Shen Feng knew that his poison had worked.
"It seems that Tu Shuangming's ability is quite good. Fortunately, he can produce so much poison for me, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to deal with these insects. Moreover, this poison degrades quickly and has no effect afterward. He's a natural assassin!" Shen Feng thought to himself.
There were many nests in the valley, and these nests were inhabited by many fruit flies. These fruit flies had learned to build nests, many of which were in tree trunks, or if that wasn't possible, they dug holes on the mountainside. But now, as the insects became fewer and fewer, it indicated that many fruit flies had quickly died after drinking the poisoned water.
However, on this day, many giant insects suddenly appeared from these holes. These insects looked plump and white, similar in appearance to fruit flies, but they were very large, about the size of a rabbit. It was difficult for them to enter and exit the holes, and it was not easy for them to fly, so they could only crawl on the ground.
"These insects must be the insect kings. I didn't expect these insect kings to have lost the ability to fly. It seems they have been living too comfortably recently," Yang Chang couldn't help but exclaim after seeing this situation.
"If we hadn't observed here for a few days, we might have let these insect kings escape. Let's hurry and kill all these insect kings. Since these insects cannot fly into the sky, everyone bring your firearms and deal with them. Not a single one of these insect kings can be left alive!" Shen Feng made a decisive choice.
After the ordinary fruit flies in the sky had almost all died, the insect kings in the caves naturally could not bear it any longer. If they did not have the supply from their subordinates, they would eventually starve to death. Thus, under duress, without the supply of ordinary insects, they could only crawl out of the caves to find food and water nearby.
If the insect kings had many subordinates, they could rely on their strong population to support themselves. At this time, the insect kings only needed to lay eggs and hatch ordinary fruit flies. However, after all the ordinary fruit flies died from drinking poisoned water outside, these insect kings lost their greatest advantage, and they couldn't even fly into the sky.
Shen Feng dispersed the mist around them, and the people in the forest immediately rushed out with their equipment. They were all carrying assault rifles, which were usually used for defense against attacks, but they did not expect them to be useful now. These insect kings were very large, about the size of a rabbit, and could be killed with a single shot.
"Everyone who participated in this operation will receive a second-class merit and will be rewarded upon their return," Shen Feng said to encourage everyone.
Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits soared, and they immediately began their actions with excitement. Carrying their rifles and a few magazines, they charged forward. As soon as they found these plump white creatures on the ground, they would kill them with a shot. If one shot didn't kill them, they would fire a few more bullets.
"It's just that we have too few magazines, otherwise, I would start firing automatically, and my merit would definitely be greater," a soldier said with a smile.
"You still want to fire automatically at this time? As long as there are bullets for single shots, it's enough. Since we've already confirmed it's a second-class merit, why bother trying so hard?" some soldiers were very confused.
"If you think that way, then you are too young. All our current performance is actually under the master's control. He will judge whether we are qualified soldiers based on our performance in the future. If someone performs exceptionally well, they will receive bonuses or deductions, understand? You are still too young!" the veteran immediately began to lecture the person next to him.
"So that's how it is. Then I'll try to kill more insects. Aren't there bayonets here? Let's see my close combat performance," the soldier said after hearing the reply. He immediately attached the bayonet to the muzzle of his rifle, turning his rifle into a short spear over a meter long, which could be used for stabbing in close combat.
There were many nests in the nearby mountains, which were slowly dug out by the insects. However, now a plump insect king emerged from each nest. Killing these insect kings would not be a short-term task, so Shen Feng came up with a plan. He flew into the sky and continuously fired wind blades at places where there were no people.
Shen Feng could not control the accuracy of these wind blades, but he could not care about that in his haste. He could only expand the coverage area and kill as many insect kings as possible. Chu Chaoyan was still controlling the production of poison gas, hoping to kill these hateful insects with the gas.
"City Lord, if we continue at this rate, some insect kings will definitely escape from here. Even if they can't fly, they can still crawl on the ground. We need a brand new method to deal with these insects!" Lu Xian also noticed something was wrong.
However, judging by the speed at which the insect kings were being eliminated by Shen Feng, some insect kings were bound to escape. If these insect kings continued to multiply, they would produce more fruit flies, and within a few months, fruit flies would reappear to harm the world.
Therefore, Lu Xian, upon discovering this situation, immediately notified Shen Feng, asking him to resolve it quickly.
Shen Feng thought carefully. The threat posed by these insect kings was too great. If they could not be killed, they would bring immense trouble in the future. Now, a sufficient means was needed to deal with the insect kings.
"I have a way!" Shen Feng suddenly thought of a plan and immediately prepared to implement it.
"Everyone quickly get to a fixed object and stabilize yourselves. Next, I will summon a tornado to sweep away all the insects!" Shen Feng announced his idea through the walkie-talkie in the sky.
Lu Xian quickly said, "But a tornado can only sweep these things into the air, it cannot kill the insects, can it?"
"I can't kill all these insects, but there will always be a place that can kill them. I will take these insects to the snow mountain. I don't believe these insects can resist the cold," Shen Feng revealed his plan. He intended to use a famous nearby snow mountain to kill these insects.
Chu Chaoyan now understood Shen Feng's idea. Shen Feng had said before that he wanted to climb the Meili Snow Mountain because he wanted to be the first human to reach it, which would be a great achievement. Now, they could use the special environment of the snow mountain to freeze these damned insect kings to death.
"Then you must go and come back quickly. We will be stationed in the valley for some time until all the insect kings are killed. The nests of these insects must not have the necessary water sources. With Lu Xian here to guide us, we will surely be able to eliminate all the insect kings," Chu Chaoyan then said.
"Don't worry, I will go and come back quickly. Also, I will successfully ascend the Meili Snow Mountain, and I will be the first person in the world to reach the summit of the snow mountain," Shen Feng said afterwards.
Then, Shen Feng began to use his abilities. The strong winds in the sky gathered continuously, vaguely forming a vortex. Then the wind speed increased, and finally, a giant pillar formed between heaven and earth. This pillar was clearly a tornado. There had never been a tornado in this mountain range because the terrain was rugged, and tornadoes did not easily penetrate inland. However, once a tornado appeared, it immediately caused immense destructive power. Countless insect kings were swept into the air, completely losing control of their bodies.
Besides these insect kings, the tornado also swept up many small stones and countless fallen leaves. Many tornadoes can appear over the ocean, picking up large amounts of water and many seafood from the sea. Whether it's fish, shrimp, or octopuses, they can be swept into the sky by the strong winds, travel hundreds of kilometers in the sky, and then fall to the ground. Therefore, many places in the world have experienced frog rain or crab rain.
Now, as the tornado appeared in the sky, it immediately swept many insect kings out of the caves and flew them towards the distance, eventually falling onto the snow mountain in the distance. The tornado traveled eighty to ninety kilometers in the mountain range and finally reached the snow mountain. When these insects fell from the sky, they immediately tried to escape in all directions, but they were surprised to find that the surroundings were covered in white snow.
Generally, not many insects can survive in the snow. Even in deserts, there are insects like antlions that survive. However, in the snow, ordinary insects will be frozen to death as soon as they appear. Therefore, the snow mountain is an absolute hell for insects.
The insect kings of these fruit flies, upon seeing the white snow before them, immediately felt that something was wrong. They immediately began to flee downhill. Unfortunately, the snow mountain was covered in snow everywhere, with no food and no place to shelter from the cold. These insect kings were eventually frozen to death on the snow mountain.
Shen Feng flew down from the sky and finally landed on the highest peak of the Meili Snow Mountain. Standing here, he looked at the surrounding mist, the white mist everywhere, and the snowflakes continuously falling from the sky. The farther distance was completely obscured by the vast white mist, and the snow reflected the light, making it impossible to see the scene in the distance clearly. He felt a great sense of accomplishment because he was the first human on Earth to reach the summit of the Meili Snow Mountain.
