The locusts had surrounded Foothill Divine City!
In the north, there was a large locust colony. At this moment, there was a valley burning with flames.
Gu Hai looked over and saw a man in red standing in the center of the flames. However, the man's head was not that of a human but that of a giant locust. It was obvious that he was the king of the locust army.
Gu Hai and the others looked down from the clouds.
The locust king seemed to have sensed something and suddenly turned its head to look at the sky.
"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Gouchen's expression changed.
"Charge to Lu Shen City's gates!" Gu Hai shouted.
Boom!
The flying boat rushed towards the city gates with a loud rumble.
"Huangfu Chaoge, I am Gu Hai. Open the gates!" Gu Hai's loud voice reverberated throughout the city.
"Roar!" The locust king pointed at Gu Hai's flying ship.
Boom!
The locusts swarmed toward the flying ship.
However, the flying ship was too fast. In the blink of an eye, it had reached the city gates.
The flying ship activated its array formation and knocked away a large number of locusts along the way!
Countless locusts exploded. The flying ship arrived at the city gates.
Boom!
The gates opened at the right time. The White Cloud crashed into the locusts and barged into the city gates.
Clang!
The city gates slammed shut again. Rumbling sounds came from the outside.
"Quick, help me hold them back. The locusts are ramming into the city gates. We can't let them in!" A large number of soldiers in the city shouted.
The locusts that had barged in earlier also attacked the soldiers guarding the city.
Boom!
Finally, the city gates were closed with the full force of a few rockmen.
As for the locusts that came in with the flying boats, they were quickly wiped out by the most destructive attacks of the soldiers in the city.
Whoosh!
Gu Hai put away the flying ship and looked at the battered soldiers in front of him.
"Mr Goode!" The leader of the soldiers greeted Gu Hai respectfully with a worried expression when he saw him.
"Oh? I know you. Last time, you were with me and Huangfu Chaoge to destroy the Gengjin Sect! "Gu Hai recognized the general in front of him.
"Yes, that's me!" The general said bitterly.
All around, everyone had a worried expression.
"Where's Huangfu Chaoge? What was going on? These locusts can't be dealt with? "Gu Hai asked with a frown.
"Mr Goode, come with me! I'll take you to see the Emperor. "The general said bitterly.
Gu Hai nodded. He had the general board the airship and head for the imperial palace in the city.
The General's face was filled with worry.
"What's wrong? What happened? Wasn't Huangfu Chaoge going to deal with the locusts? Where is Lu Shi Shen? "Gu Hai asked with a frown.
"Lu Stone God has already fallen! His Majesty, His Majesty also …! "The general said bitterly.
Gu Hai raised an eyebrow. He didn't ask any more questions. The airship quickly brought everyone to the imperial palace.
As if knowing that Gu Hai was coming, the soldiers in the imperial palace respectfully led the airship to one of the main halls when they saw Gu Hai.
The civil and military officials waited anxiously outside the hall.
"M- Mr Goode, His Majesty has been waiting for a long time!" Some of the officials Gu Hai was familiar with immediately came up to greet him.
Gu Hai frowned slightly and nodded.
He had Gouchen wait outside with the others.
Gu Hai was led into the hall alone by the officials.
The hall was filled with ice. In the center of the hall was a pool of ice. Huangfu Chaoge sat weakly inside, her hair disheveled. Waves of fire emanated from her body, melting the ice. The ice in the pool kept changing.
"Your Majesty, m- Mr Goode is here!" the official leading the way said respectfully.
In the ice pool, Huangfu Chaoge opened her eyes. A trace of bitterness flashed through her eyes. "Gu Hai, you're finally here!"
"Mr. Huangfu, w-what's wrong with you?" Gu Hai was shocked.
"Cough, cough, cough. Mr Goode, Lu Stone God has fallen. Lu Stone God asked me to give this to you before he died!" Huangfu Chaoge took out a jade box and handed it over.
Gu Hai took the jade box with a trace of confusion. He opened it gently.
Hum!
Suddenly, a dazzling brown light gushed out of the box.
"This is?" Gu Hai revealed a hint of surprise.
"The god of the Lu Stone people, the Earth God. Lu Stone God asked me to give this to you before he died. Please avenge him and protect the Lu Stone people!" Huangfu Chaoge said bitterly.
"Earth God?" Gu Hai raised an eyebrow.
"Lu Stone God knows you need it. Ha, I don't need it. Hurry up and absorb it. I'll wait for you!" Huangfu Chaoge said bitterly.
Gu Hai frowned and looked at Huangfu Chaoge.
Huangfu Chaoge was extremely weak. She looked at Gu Hai expectantly.
"Okay!" Gu Hai nodded. He didn't say much, but his heart was heavy.
He reached out to grab the Earth God in the box.
The moment the Earth God touched Gu Hai's hand, it entered Gu Hai's body. However, Gu Hai didn't resist this time.
Lu Stone God was dead, but the earth-element god was not. Like Granny Qing Hua's wood-element god, it still had a certain level of consciousness. It did not need Gu Hai to refine it. Instead, it took the initiative to help Gu Hai modify his spleen.
Hum!
Rolling earth divine power enveloped Gu Hai's spleen.
Gu Hai sat up cross-legged and sank his consciousness into his body. His spleen suddenly turned brown, resonating with his golden lungs, green liver, and blue kidneys.
The Earth God rushed in and hit the spleen heavily.
Boom!
The spleen aperture suddenly opened. In an instant, brown divine power filled the aperture.
Gu Hai sat there for four hours. After four hours, a vortex suddenly formed in the spleen aperture. A vast brown earth divine palace formed in the spleen aperture.
Hum!
Gu Hai opened his eyes, and an energy current surged out from his body.
"Eighth-tier Golden Core, spleen aperture open!" Gu Hai said in a low voice.
Although he had a breakthrough, Gu Hai couldn't smile.
"It's good that you can break through! Sigh! "Huangfu Chaoge sighed.
"Mr. Huangfu, what happened just now?" Gu Hai stared at Huangfu Chaoge.
Huangfu Chaoge said bitterly, "Mr. Goode, you guessed correctly. The Gengjin Sect, Greedy Wolf Sect, and Great Huang Dynasty were all secretly subordinates of Lüyang Of Gojoseon. We destroyed the Gengjin Sect. However, while you were away, the Greedy Wolf Sect and Great Huang Dynasty sent experts to destroy our God's Foothill. Lu Stone God died because of this! "
"Oh?" Gu Hai raised his eyebrows.
"It was Lüyang Of Gojoseon's order. Heh, I destroyed his Gengjin Sect. He wanted revenge, so he sent experts from the Great Huang Dynasty and Greedy Wolf Sect. Lu Stone God fell into his trap, so …! "Huangfu Chaoge explained.
Gu Hai frowned. "The locusts outside are …?"
"The national beast of the Great Huang Dynasty, the Fire Locust Tribe. Not long ago, the Greedy Wolf Sect and Great Huang Emperor retreated, leaving only the Fire Locust God and the Fire Locust Tribe behind. They wanted to destroy our Foothill City, which is what you see now!" Huangfu Chaoge smiled bitterly.
"Fire Locust God?" Gu Hai frowned.
"Sigh, I don't know why the Greedy Wolf Sect and Great Huang Emperor retreated, but it's enough to leave the Fire Locust Tribe behind. I'm poisoned now and am no match for them. My life is in danger, so I had no choice but to pass the country to you. I hope to lure you here and save my people!" Huangfu Chaoge said bitterly.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Hai looked at Huangfu Chaoge worriedly.
"I've been poisoned by the Fire Locust God outside. All my strength is nourishing the fire locust poison until I die from exhaustion!" Huangfu Chaoge said bitterly.
"How do we save you?" Gu Hai asked worriedly.
Huangfu Chaoge smiled bitterly. "There's no need to save me. Save my people first. The city defense formation's energy is about to be drained by the Fire Locust Tribe. They're about to break into the city. Once they do, these locusts will eat everything in the city! "
Gu Hai nodded. "I understand! Now, I need everyone in the city to cooperate with me! "
"I've already given the order. You can go out and give the order. The city defense formation can only last for ten days at most!" Huangfu Chaoge said worriedly.
"Ten days? Not enough!" Gu Hai shook his head.
He stepped out of the main hall.
Outside the main hall, the officials bowed respectfully to Gu Hai. "Greetings, Mr. Goode. The Emperor has ordered us to follow Mr. Goode's orders.
"I need Spirit Stones. Collect Spirit Stones from all the people in the city immediately. Record them all and return them to the people in the future. I need Spirit Stones to set up the formation. I need countless Spirit Stones. The more the better. Quick, quick, quick! "Gu Hai ordered.
"Yes!"
The group of officials responded.
All the officials and people in the city were like ants on a hot tin roof. They waited anxiously. Once the city was breached, they would die immediately. It wasn't that there weren't any reinforcements in the surrounding cities. However, when the reinforcements arrived, they were all eaten by the locusts. When the locusts passed through, not even a blade of grass grew. The formation was almost completely drained. If there was no other way, everyone in the city would be doomed.
That was the entire Fire Locust Tribe.
All the officials were terrified. Now that the order was given, they immediately found their backbone. Gu Hai collected Spirit Stones. The people generously donated. What was the use of having Spirit Stones in the face of death?
In just one day, a mountain of Spirit Stones was piled up.
"Cough, cough, cough. Mr. Goode, you need Spirit Stones to set up the formation? But no one can get out. Who can set up the formation? "Huangfu Chaoge asked worriedly.
"I want to release the dragon vein! I hope you don't mind! "Gu Hai looked at Huangfu Chaoge.
"Cough, cough, cough. I don't mind. Release it. I'll withdraw my dragon vein. I'm poisoned and can't move. I'm relying on you!" Huangfu Chaoge said bitterly.
Gu Hai nodded.
In the outside world, the Fire Locust Deity looked coldly at Lu Shen City. His eyes flashed with cold disdain.
Although the Fire Locust Tribe was not as strong as some of the larger demon tribes, they had not met any opponents so far. All the enemies were eaten. Moreover, they reproduced quickly. It did not matter if they died. Soon, an endless stream of Fire Locust Tribe members would be born.
"Hurry up and break into Lu Shen City. Everything in the city is yours to eat!" the Fire Locust Deity said coldly.
"Buzz!" Countless locusts flapped their wings and swarmed toward the city.
"Roar!"
On the third day after Gu Hai entered the city, a loud dragon roar was heard.
All of a sudden, a huge golden dragon swallowed all the spirit stones that were piled up in the palace.
A giant golden dragon that seemed to be tens of thousands of miles long suddenly plunged into the ground. It merged with the ground.
"Rumble!"
The entire Lu Shen City felt as if there was an earthquake. Mountains rose from the ground and collapsed one after another.
Gu Hai held the Heaven Suppressing Divine Seal and closed his eyes. He seemed to be commanding the giant dragon released from the Heaven Suppressing Divine Seal.
"Roar!"
The dragon's roar resounded through the sky. The dragon vein of the Han Dynasty was released by Gu Hai. The dragon vein roared with great joy and rushed into the ground.
