Chapter 7: Animal tide threat

Now that his life was guaranteed, Jiang Chen calmed Xiao Hei a little, and then began to look down at the forest area below.
This forest area has been ruined by giant marching ants. There are broken wood and gravel everywhere, and it is devastated.
"Uncle Shi Hao, how come so many giant marching ants come out?" Jiang Chen questioned. I have never heard of such a large-scale marching ant riot before.
Shi Hao's face turned black when he heard this. He sat on the back of Yufeng Mantis and touched his face. I am only 31 years old! This young man called me uncle!
Do you know what manliness is? Believe it or not, I let my little mantis throw you down!
"Ahem!"
Shi Hao cleared his throat with a dark face, and explained: "These giant marching ants come from the monster forest outside the city, and there may be an abnormal change there, so these giant marching ants collectively dig holes and break into the inner city forest. Area."
As he said, Shi Hao took a look at Jiang Chen, and saw that he was bulging with large and small packages, holding a giant egg in his arms, and a giant python wrapped around his waist...
Shi Hao suddenly had a toothache, is this a bandit? !
I have never seen a beast master with such no moral integrity!
Shouldn't the beast master be the most noble profession? Why did he become a bandit who caused famine when he got to this goods?
As the leader of a hunter squad, Shi Hao naturally looks down on the bargains Jiang Chen searched. Their hunter squad can perform a mission at will, and it will cost at least tens of thousands of Union coins.
But Jiang Chen was calm and composed under Shi Hao's weird gaze, thinking about the huge threat this beast tide would bring to Chang'an City.
Generally speaking, ordinary artillery should be able to destroy ordinary giant marching ants, but if you want to break the defense of elite giant marching ants, then you must have heavy cannons!
Moreover, who knows whether there is a general-level monster in the group of giant marching ants!
What's more, the queen hasn't played yet!
You know, this is in the city, you can't use weapons of mass destruction, you can only use high-level beasts to fight against powerful monsters.
Although Jiang Chen doesn't need to worry about these problems, his and Jiang Xiaoguo's residence is very close here. If this beast tide swept through, it would easily affect them.
"Uncle Shi Hao, how does the military plan to deal with these giant marching ants?" Jiang Chen questioned.
Shi Hao looked solemn when he heard the words: "The military units outside the city are quickly returning to defense, surrounding the giant marching ants. How to deal with it is a military secret. I don't know."
Jiang Chen nodded silently when he heard that, even if Shi Hao knew about military secrets, he would not tell him.
While talking, Yufeng Mantis had already arrived in the city, and its huge body landed on the ground lightly.
Shi Hao jumped off Yu Beast, and said in a deep voice: "Young man, go home quickly, don't get close to this forest area for a while, it's too dangerous!"
After hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded, thanked Shi Hao and hurried home.
Along the way, the roar resounded through the sky, and groups of military armored vehicles were hurriedly rushing in the mountains and forests behind them, with medium-sized cannons and the military's beast division on board.
Jiang Chen nodded silently when he saw this. In this cataclysmic era, only the China National Congress is so concerned about the safety of the people. It is said that other countries have almost abandoned ordinary cities and villages and only defend the capital and central cities because they are gathering places for officials. .
Nowadays, a large number of refugees are pouring into China from all directions, and only here can shelter them.
When Jiang Chen and Xiao Hei arrived home, Jiang Xiaoguo was looking out the window, her face full of eagerness.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen smiled happily. It seems that this little girl is quite conscientious and cares so much about her brother's safety.
When Jiang Chen and Xiao Hei stepped into the house, Jiang Xiaoguo was already waiting at the door. Her two smart big eyes lit up, and she stretched out her little hand towards Jiang Chen: "Where is the chocolate?"
Jiang Chen's face turned black when he heard this, and the co-authored little girl was not waiting for herself, but for her chocolate!
"Ahem, something went wrong today, I didn't have time to buy you chocolate."
As Jiang Chen said, he removed the package and python from his body.
But Jiang Xiaoguo was displeased when he heard it, and suddenly pouted: "Jiang Chen, you have changed!"
"I haven't changed!" Jiang Chen said with a dark face, "I will send these things to the Royal Animal Store in the afternoon, and then I will have the money to buy chocolates for you!"
"By the way, let's play this for you." Jiang Chen handed the red giant egg in his arms to Jiang Xiaoguo.
Jiang Xiaoguo looked at it and showed a reluctant expression on her small face: "But I have only eaten eggs in the morning."
"This is not an egg, it is an egg of a monster beast. There is a very cute little monster beast inside!" Jiang Chen said cheerfully.
Speaking of which, Jiang Xiaoguo is almost ten years old, and he can try to awaken right away and then sign the beast partner.
From Monday to Friday, Jiang Chen has to go to school and leave the little girl alone at home, which is somewhat uneasy. If she can sign an imperial beast as a companion, that would be great.
"Wow! Is there really a little monster in it? A monster like Xiao Hei's?"
When Jiang Xiaoguo heard that it was a monster egg, she immediately embraced the giant egg in her arms cheerfully, her big eyes showing a curious look.
Then, she hugged the giant egg and rushed into the bed, her whole body pressed against the giant egg.
Jiang Chen scratched his head when he saw this: "What are you doing? Are you going to sleep again?"
Jiang Xiaoguo replied with disgust: "Brother is stupid, Xiaoguo is hatching eggs!"
Jiang Chen's whole body is ill at once, hatching eggs, do you think you are a hen!
He looked at his watch, and it was already 12 noon.
Jiang Chen fried the picked wild vegetables, steamed the buns, and then took out some wild fruits, and the two had a simple lunch together.
"Xiaoguo, you are at home obediently, I'll go out and bring you chocolates when I come back!"
Jiang Chen exhorted Jiang Xiaoguo, and after thinking about it, he left Xiao Hei at home and looked at the little girl.
Jiang Xiaoguo, who was incubating an egg on the bed, heard the words, poked her head out of the bed and nodded obediently.
Jiang Chen carried the package and the python went out, and found that the pedestrians on the street were discussing the animal tide in the Houshan forest area. He also heard that the army had completely surrounded the group of giant marching ants, but could not completely eliminate them for a while.
Jiang Chen came to the imperial beast shop again, and found the cute girl salesperson.
Er, no, Jiang Chen shook his head, I didn't come to this Royal Animal Store just to see this cute girl!
I'm just here to sell things!
The Royal Animal Store will regularly purchase goods from a fixed hunter squad, and occasionally accept retail customers.
Jiang Chen greeted Meng Sister cheerfully, and then placed the mutant plants in the backpack on the counter one by one.
Blood Cordyceps, Bittersweet Fruit, Huo Tian Qi······ are lined up.
"This is Blood Cordyceps, a plant worth three hundred Union Coins!"
"This is the fruit of painstaking efforts, at least two hundred yuan per catty!"
"This is Fire Field Seven, the favorite of Fire Monster Beasts, 500 Union Coins! Hehe!"
After checking the goods, the cute girl salesperson smiled and revealed a sweet dimple: "Sir, these blood cordyceps are two hundred yuan per catty, bitter fruit is one hundred yuan per catty, and Huo Tianqi is two hundred yuan per plant... ·"
"and many more!"
Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard it, and instantly felt that this cute girl was not adorable: "Isn't this blood cordyceps three hundred yuan a catty? And this bitter fruit, it should be two hundred yuan a catty!"
The cute girl shook her head cheerfully when she heard the words, and patiently explained: "You are talking about the selling price, but we receive the goods at the purchase price."
Jiang Chen suddenly felt a toothache, and it was too dark. Once you collect and sell, you can earn 100 Union coins per catty!
But there is no way, who can let people have a business license, these bulk goods can only be sold to these regular Royal Animal Shops.
In the end, Meng Sister calculated it and paid Jiang Chen a total of 3,600 Union Coins.
Jiang Chen was holding the money in his hands, but his heart was dripping blood, and he had lost at least two thousand yuan!
He secretly made up his mind that he must set up his own hunter squad and open his own beast store in the future. This is extremely profitable!
Oh, of course, I have to ask a cute girl to be a salesperson.
No, ten!
Ten cute girl sales assistants!
