508 The Grain Thief Escaped
“It seems these straw men are very different from those fierce beasts and evil spirits. They’re not good, but they’re not evil either. Moreover, they exist to guard the rice fields. This is completely understandable!”
“Especially in a lonely world like the Myriad World Continent, if we can get them to help us, they’ll benefit the Kingdom of Dawn significantly! ”
“If these straw men are scattered across the vast fertile fields in the Kingdom of Dawn to help guard them, the burden on the farmers will be reduced. Moreover, with their ferocity and tyranny, they will be able to defend the food better!”
Many thoughts appeared in Li Xiang’s mind in an instant.
“We can’t let go of the strange spiritual rice below either. Every grain of divine-grade spirit rice was a treasure. If it could be grown on a large scale, it would increase the strength of the Kingdom of Dawn. It’ll be a massive loss if we let go of such a good thing!”
Li Xiang did not hide his desire for the golden spiritual rice. However, it was not for himself but for the current humans and the Kingdom of Dawn. The spiritual rice was too precious and essential.
He had to obtain such a rare treasure.
Once he obtained it, he could grow even more top-grade spiritual rice.
Not only that, if he could subdue these straw men, he could secure the area where they planted the spiritual rice.
When the spiritual rice was growing, the spiritual essence contained in it would attract a large number of birds and beasts, as well as pests. Without a guardian, there would not be a single grain of spiritual rice left when it ripened. Hence these straw men are essential for protecting the golden spiritual rice.
“Moreover, there’s a huge amount of space in the Tower of Stars. Many grotto heavens have more spiritual essence than the outside world and can be used to plant spiritual rice. Planting spiritual rice required a lot of lands. The land of the Kingdom of Dawn is now spiritual. Not only is there a vast amount of spiritual veins underground, but there is also a vast amount of power from the stars. The extensive amount of heaven and earth vitality purified and absorbed by the Starlight Canopy is constantly accumulating and replenishing. In the entire Kingdom of Dawn, even top-grade spiritual rice can fully mature in one or two months.”
Li Xiang imagined the beautiful scenes in the future, and his heart could not help but surge.
“There might be other ways to save that golden-winged Peng bird, but it all depended on whether it was wise.”
Looking at the struggling golden-winged Peng bird below, Li Xiang was inspired and thought of a way.
With a thought, a strange light appeared on the ground in front of the golden-winged Peng bird, within reach.
This was the projection of the Void Divine mirror. Once one stepped into it, they could be teleported to a known place.
As soon as the door appeared, the golden-winged Peng bird noticed it.
Earlier, it had already discovered Phoenix Qing Ying. But, now that it saw the light door formed by the Void Divine Mirror, its eyes, filled with despair, suddenly glowed with hope.
“Chirp…”
An extremely violent and powerful force suddenly burst out from the body of the golden-winged Peng bird. It struggled with all its might, and the bamboo stick initially holding its two wings in place was pulled up from the ground. Blood was dripping from it.
However, it did not care and immediately darted toward the Void Divine Mirror.
The explosion was so sudden that the force shocked even the golden straw man.
Just as the golden-winged Peng bird’s head was about to enter the Void Divine Mirror, a green shadow flashed.
“Pa!”
The golden straw man’s bronze rod appeared again and struck the golden-winged Peng bird’s head.
This blow was so heavy that it saw stars and felt dizzy. It almost fainted on the spot.
However, he was still a top-tier powerhouse in the divine realm. The mythical beast bloodline in his body was powerful, and his willpower was also highly shocking.
In such a life-and-death situation, it let out a shrill cry, and its wings suddenly released a golden gust of wind that blew back, rolling its body up and sending it into the Void Divine Mirror.
“Whoosh!”
The golden-winged Peng bird and the Void Divine Mirror disappeared in a flash.
All of this took a long time to describe, but in reality, it happened in the blink of an eye, and the speed was unimaginable.
“The grain thief escaped… The grain thief escaped…”
When the surrounding straw men noticed the disappearance of the golden-winged Peng bird, they immediately cried. Then, they waved their weapons and gathered around.
It could be seen that these straw men were outraged, and their murderous aura soared to the sky.
The Golden straw man raised its head and looked into the sky, its golden eyes flashing with a strong warning.
It had already been guessed that Qing Ying and Li Xiang caused the incident. However, it did not attack again. Instead, it increased the security around the paddy field.
This time, not even a mosquito could dream of flying in.
“Unless we send an army to attack? But even if we won, we would have to pay a huge price to face these terrifying straw men. Moreover, these straw men aren’t hostile to the Kingdom of Dawn. They’re just farming here. If they bring an army here to kill and loot, how are we any different from those horrible Alliance of Gods?”
Therefore, as soon as this thought appeared, Li Xiang reluctantly abandoned it.
Unless he had no choice, he would never use this terrible method. It would break the bottom line he had set for himself.
The bottom line would be broken countless times once it was broken.
Therefore, only a bottom line that could not be broken under any circumstances could be called a bottom line.
His bottom line could be very low for a Chinese who had transmigrated from a civilized era, but he could not be without it. This was the most fundamental principle of being a human.
Besides, the Kingdom of Dawn rapidly developed, and the black tide raged outside. Therefore, it was not easy to mobilize the army, and losing many elites would not be worth it.
Thus, no matter from which perspective, it was not a good idea to mobilize the army.
If it was not for Qing Ying’s Phoenix Golden Flame, he did not know what kind of terrible situation he would have encountered in the black tide.
And now, this valley was not affected by the black tide. From this, it could be seen that these straw men were not simple!
“However, it’s not like there’s no way to deal with these straw men! It shouldn’t be a problem to rely on my inherent advantages.”
Li Xiang’s eyes flashed, and a golden battle bow appeared in his hand.
It was the God’s Annihilating Bow!
This divine bow could severely injure an existence like the Lord of Dark. He did not believe that this golden straw man could withstand it.
