The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2737 The Mosquito Finally Leaves
The entire cave was similar to what Qian Ying described, a ditch about ten meters long, similar to a trench, more than two meters deep, but less than one meter wide. The soil on both sides of the ditch was compacted very firmly, so there would be no risk of collapse.

On both sides of the center of the ditch, a cat ear hole was dug. The cat ear hole was not very shallow, the kind that could only hide one or two people, but rather it was very deep and large, with wooden supports inside. Each cat ear hole could easily accommodate thirty people.

In addition, in order to ensure sufficient oxygen, several ventilation holes were poked in the small tree trunks. This not only allows ventilation, but also keeps mosquitoes out.

First, tree trunks were placed above the ditch as support, and then the giant crocodiles were caught, and a dozen of them were pressed on the tree trunks, and then covered with soil, leaving only the crocodile's back skin exposed. The purpose of doing this is to use the crocodile's defensive ability to prevent mosquitoes from rushing into the ditch.

The warriors did this kind of thing really quickly and well, and the cat ear cave they built was also very smooth. The whole project took less than half an hour to complete. In order to survive, the speed was simply jaw-dropping.

During this period, Qian Ying was also killing mosquitoes from time to time, killing them one by one by putting them into the area.

"Okay, everyone, pay attention, everyone go in." Qian Ying called everyone in. He opened the field and cleared the mosquitoes.

After the warriors entered the cat-ear cave, only Qian Ying and two innate warriors were left. One of the three of them was responsible for lighting half-dried dead wood branches and leaves, etc., to create a lot of smoke. The other one and Qian Ying moved forward quickly to lead the mosquitoes into the swamp.

Of course, they went into the swamp, found some alligators to kill, and made some wounds on the alligators to attract mosquitoes, and then they returned immediately.

As a result, there were only clouds of smoke left on the grassland, and even if the two returned and brought back some mosquitoes, they would be driven away by the large amount of smoke. Then the two also hid underground, and in this way, the dead trees and leaves burned, constantly producing a large amount of smoke.

In order to prevent the burning area from expanding, a fire circle was built near the ditch to block the spread of the fire. Therefore, there was thick smoke only where they were hiding, but not in other places.

And in order to ensure breathing, the ventilation holes are also located at the upwind side, so it is safe for everyone to hide underground.

"Elder Qian, will these mosquitoes go away?" Qian Wantong asked worriedly as he heard the buzzing sound still coming from outside.

Qian Ying was actually unsure, after all, ordinary mosquitoes might be afraid of smoke, but it was unknown whether this type of mosquito was afraid of smoke or not. When he and Ma Sanxing returned from the Zhao Swamp area, there were still a large number of mosquitoes following them, so in this situation, he didn't know how to answer.

"Wait a moment. If you can't leave, then think of other ways." Qian Ying said.

"Yeah." Qian Wantong replied.

"Tell the others to hurry up and recover their energy. After an hour, we will go up to see if the mosquitoes have left." Qian Ying said.

"Yes!" Qian Wantong agreed and immediately went to convey Qian Ying's meaning.

After hearing this, the other family members also began to sit cross-legged and meditate to recover their strength. Although the mosquitoes were a good team just now, because there were too many of them, many people were almost exhausted of their own energy. Therefore, they naturally had to recover well during this time.

Chen Mo and Ouyang Ruoxi were together, at the outermost edge of the cat ear cave. They had been busy for a while, finding a lot of dead branches and so on, so they didn't talk at this moment, but were also recovering. Of course, Chen Mo was quietly slacking off, while Ouyang Ruoxi was recovering her own energy.

After all, it is easy to find branches and it is also easy to move branches, but doing these things under the attack of numerous mosquitoes is not so simple and easy.

Since the distance between each person in the cat ear cave was relatively close, Chen Mo did not use his spiritual sense.

Moreover, in this cave, the warriors of the Zhou family stayed with the Ouyang family. Although the two families were not too familiar with each other, they had heard of each other's families, or in some secular fields, they also had certain business exchanges. This time, the warriors of the two families gathered in a cave, which was the first time.

Therefore, the two warriors did not say anything. Chen Mo secretly observed Zhou Ke and Zhou Mei, as well as Zhou Zixing, the innate master beside them.

When he was in Xiye Ancient City, he had always been the sixth child and had also plotted against everyone in the Zhou family. However, the Zhou family didn't know about it. If they knew, I'm afraid that the warriors of the Zhou family would definitely eat Chen Mo alive.

In fact, during the time in Xiye Ancient City, the Zhou family suffered too much loss, with all the high-level warriors killed or injured, and three innate masters lost. If it weren't for Zhou Zixing, an innate master who was already half buried in the ground, the Zhou family might have collapsed.

"Are you familiar with the Zhou family?" Ouyang Ruoxi came out of her practice and asked in a low voice when she saw Chen Mo secretly observing the Zhou family warriors.

Chen Mo smiled faintly and said, "No, I'm just a little curious."

Ouyang Ruoxi did not ask about the situation of the Zhou family, and then asked: "Amo, do you think those mosquitoes will be smoked away?" Chen Mo shook his head. He did not use his spiritual sense to observe the situation on the ground, so he was not sure. But he still said: "Those branches and other things must produce a lot of smoke after being burned. As long as these mosquitoes still have biological characteristics, they should be able to be smoked away."

"I hope so." That's all Ouyang Ruoxi could say.

After waiting for more than an hour, Qian Ying personally came to the cave entrance and lifted a crack in the cover to see if there were any mosquitoes around. Although the buzzing sound had weakened a lot at this time, he was still worried without seeing it with his own eyes.

Unexpectedly, he found that there were still mosquitoes around, but not many in number, and they were still hovering around the area outside the smoke, as if they were unwilling to give up and wanted to wait for them to go up.

Qian Ying had no choice but to return and tell everyone about the matter, and then let everyone wait in peace, or take a good rest, and continue on tomorrow. After all, the words above have already dispersed a lot, and only a few mosquitoes are left, and they may leave tomorrow.

Of course, he might actually go up and kill the remaining mosquitoes, but who can guarantee that when he kills these mosquitoes, he won't attract a large army of words.

Since everyone was relatively relaxed when entering the excavated cave and all the supplies were carried with them, they could take advantage of the long rest time to eat and drink well.

As for wanting to have a good sleep or something, don’t even think about it. Everyone just sits on the ground, practicing meditation and waiting for dawn.

The night was long, Ouyang Ruoxi and Chen Mo talked quietly from time to time, but because there were people around, there was no way to disturb them too much, so they could only close their eyes and rest. Finally, Ouyang Ruoxi leaned on Chen Mo's shoulder and fell asleep.

The Zhou family warriors also saw Chen Mo and Ouyang Ruoxi not far away, but they didn't think too much. After all, they were just two young people, and it didn't matter if they were a couple. However, they were still quite concerned about Chen Mo. After all, such a young post-natal level 10 warrior was very rare. I didn't expect that the Ouyang family actually had such a person. Why hadn't I heard of it before?
As for the one I have heard the most about, it is the little princess of the Ouyang family. She is a genius in cultivation and very beautiful. Unfortunately, I did not meet her this time. However, it is understandable that the little princess is the treasure of the Ouyang family. How could she possibly participate in such a dangerous expedition?

In fact, Han Chengye and Han Chengwen of the Han family were a little disappointed about this. If Ouyang Ruoxi came here this time, they would definitely find a way to capture her during the holiday, and then go back and give her to the clan leader's son, and maybe they could get a lot of benefits.

Opposite the cat ear cave where Chen Mo was resting, Qian Wantong was also reflecting on the two accidents that had occurred before, neither of which happened as he had expected, and he almost lost the care of Elder Qian Ying.

Now that he had some free time, he calmed down and reflected carefully, trying to see if he could find anything he had missed or discover something.

Unfortunately, after thinking about it, I didn't find anything. In the end, I could only attribute it to the fact that the guy named Li Mo was very lucky. Not only did he escape twice, but he also made a big mistake.

Oh, I didn't expect this guy's luck to be so high. I have to be more careful in the future. However, his desire to kill Chen Mo became stronger and stronger. If he didn't kill Chen Mo, his thoughts would not flow.

But if he continued to move forward, there would be something in front of him, and it would be difficult for him to take action. Because the last Qian family expedition team left the swamp and there was no record of the rest of the team. Because the person who recorded it died somewhere unknown and did not take the recorded things out.

Those who escaped only brought back some elixirs and precious minerals, and died at the entrance of the ice cave.

So, if I want to continue to plot against that guy named Li Mo, I really don’t know how to start.

……

In this way, the night passed by unknowingly and the sky gradually brightened.

Qian Ying was still the leader. He first lifted the cover, observed it for a while, and found that there was no problem. Then he lifted it up, left the ditch, and stood on the ground.

"Come out, it's safe outside." Qian Ying said.

After hearing this, everyone walked out of the ditch one after another.

At this moment, the dead wood and branches that were burning around have been burned out, leaving only ashes and charcoal that was not burned repeatedly, while the mosquitoes that were killed yesterday are still present in large numbers around.

It can be said that the dead bodies of mosquitoes covered the entire surrounding ground, layer upon layer, which looked somewhat disgusting.

Apart from that, there was nothing suspicious. In front was a grassland-like plain, and in the back was a swamp area.

"Everyone, pack up and keep going!" Qian Ying said to everyone.
