Chapter 217 Primitive Order

A small figure escaped from the out-of-control hanging basket and slowly glided in the air. It was Teacher Benny who had taken the Feather Fall potion in advance.

Seeing that the invention that cost him countless painstaking efforts was about to crash, he felt distressed and helpless.

At this time, heavy and hurried footsteps came from the river bank. Joan, transformed into a tree man, rushed over and stood under the falling light balloon. His feet took root, and he raised his arms to firmly catch the falling basket.

Teacher Benny mentioned the heart in his throat, and thanked Joan excitedly as the light balloon landed safely and fell back into his stomach.

The terrifying buzzing sound came from behind again, and Teacher Benny shivered in fright. When he looked back, the giant bee was chasing after him again.

"Gods above! Who will help me get rid of this monster!"

Teacher Benny was so frightened that he waved his arms desperately in the air.

The "Feather Falling Technique" can only provide him with buoyancy, but it can't make him fly. He can only watch the giant bee approaching him with a thick poisonous needle like a lance like a knight riding a charge.

There was a sudden gunshot from below, and a large mass of brown blood exploded from the giant bee—it was Ah Zhi who shot and sniped the giant bee in time.

Just one bullet cannot kill the giant bee, but it is enough to make it feel pain and fear, give up chasing Mr. Benny, and flap its wings to fly deep into the clouds.

A Zhi fired two more shots, but unfortunately the flight path of the giant bee was unpredictable, the next two shots missed, and he could only watch it disappear behind the clouds.

The magical power of the "Branch of Irmin Sur" lasted for up to two minutes a day, and Joan returned to human form shortly after putting down the hanging basket.

The terrified Mr. Benny finally landed safely. While wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he did not forget to look up to find the giant bee.

"It's a pity that it escaped. If we can catch the giant bee, we can follow the clues to find out the conspiracy behind the insect disaster."

Ah Zhi patted the shotgun regretfully.

"Wait! What do you mean by 'conspirator'?" George Vassar asked in surprise. "Aren't these strange insects naturally produced?"

"The possibility of a natural disaster is not ruled out, but based on the clues we have so far, it looks more like a man-made disaster."

Ah Zhi rarely answered seriously.

"Can you explain in detail the reasons for your speculation?"

"It starts with the letters from readers that the newspaper received a few days ago..."

Azhi briefly described the general infestation of large pests on farmland and pastures in the Yalfheim area this spring, emphasizing that people in the affected area have repeatedly witnessed a naked monster with a wasp.

"Even Miss Martha once witnessed the naked monster driving a swarm of bees in her garden! Although the descriptions of this person by eyewitnesses are not exactly the same, there is one thing that is consistent. Not long after the strange man appeared, the local people A plague of insects has occurred!"

"Some people said that they saw the strange man riding a huge wasp flying over the fields and pastures. Although we didn't see the strange man today, we all witnessed the huge wasp with our own eyes. It can be seen that the legend about the strange man and the wasp is not fictional. This man It is very likely that they are behind the spread of pests in the Yalfheim area!" Xiaomao said.

"Joann asked a very enlightening question yesterday - why did that weirdo destroy our agricultural and animal husbandry production in Yalfheim? I went back and thought about it for a long time, and I had some guesses. Today I saw the giant Bee, I feel more and more that my guess is probably the truth." Teacher Benny's face was serious.

"Can you tell me your guess?" Joan asked curiously.

"Have you ever heard of the 'Primitive Religion'?" Teacher Benny lowered his voice with a serious face.

Joan was at a loss, having never heard of this organization. Major Vassar's expression changed.

"The base camp of this cult gang is said to be located in the border area between Midgard and Jotunheim - 'Iron Forest' Gary Ward - in the past, it also operated in northern regions such as Midgard and Jotunheim, Why did you suddenly come to the south to make trouble?"

"It may be that this cult group is no longer satisfied with only operating in the north and is trying to expand its sphere of influence to the Yalfheim area, or it may be because they plan to hold some kind of evil sacrificial activity here, by preventing the local residents from reclaiming and farming farmland to practice their extremely obstinate religious ideals..."

Mr. Benny shrugged and spread his hands.

"In short, who knows? Bad guys can always find excuses for doing bad things. Before I get more and more definite evidence, I can only guess out of thin air."

"Mr. Benny, you just mentioned the religious idea of ​​the 'primitive religion'. I'm curious about what kind of crazy belief it is, so that the believers of this religion regard the farmers and shepherds who keep their own lives as their enemies." Joan asked inexplicably.

"The primitive religious order regards farmers and shepherds as sinners because their core teachings are 'return to nature', 'embrace nature', and 'obey nature'." Teacher Benny replied with a wry smile.

"This doesn't sound like the teachings of a cult group. As far as I know, the Druid community also worships the source of nature." Joan was even more confused.

"There must be a limit to everything. If you go beyond the limit and go to the extreme, the originally noble and beautiful ideas will become fallacies and heresies."

George Vassar answered Joann's doubts for Mr. Benny.

"For example, you mentioned the Druid community just now. Yes, the Druids also advocate maintaining the balance of nature and oppose unrestrained deforestation and filling lakes for farming."

"However, most druid societies do not believe that human beings should live forever in a primitive society that drinks blood, let alone deny that magic and technology can promote the development of civilization in human society and make our lives more convenient and healthier. They Although there is a conservative side to the idea, it is not considered a cult.”

"Most druids, although they don't like metropolises and large factories whose natural ecology has been destroyed, at most they condemn one or two verbally, and usually do not use violent means to destroy cities and factories."

"In the same way, most Druids advocate harmonious coexistence with nature, but they don't force everyone to leave the city and live like beasts. They would rather form a mutual aid commune with like-minded people and live in the depths of the jungle away from the hustle and bustle. A quiet life of escapism and closeness to nature.”

"As for the primitive sect, you can regard them as the most extreme, conservative, and barbaric group in the druid community."

"They are not satisfied with worshiping the impersonal natural source, but worship a specific evil god, and respectfully call it the 'primordial lord'. In some theological classics handed down from ancient times, the 'primordial lord' also has a name It's called the 'Glacier Prince', but it's unknown whether it's a true god, a demon lord, or some great devil from hell."
