698 Visiting The Chief Straw Man

However, even if he knew it was a trick, he had to fall for it. Otherwise, he would lose all his face. Although Rat Devourer liked to use schemes and unscrupulous means, he had a high opinion of himself and still paid quite a lot of attention to his face. If word got out that he, Rat Devourer, had been scared into hiding because of some insignificant people, he would be too ashamed to face anyone and would become a complete joke.

“What a vicious method! However, it won’t be that easy for me to fall for it. I don’t believe that a few insignificant people can stop me. This is the biggest joke in the world!” Rat Devourer said disdainfully.

No matter what, this was a letter of challenge. Moreover, it was a letter of challenge that he had no choice but to accept.

Time passed by quietly. A large number of people were mobilized, and the Sky Workshop also worked together. A large number of weeds were woven into straw men and women of all kinds. Some craftsmen even had an original idea of separating the men and women from the straw men and women, treating them as a work of art. They were vivid and lifelike, and their skills could be said to be exquisite.

In just one morning, the number of straw men that were woven had reached a shocking number.

In the Star Palace, the shadow under Li Xiang’s body flickered for a moment and then disappeared strangely.

In a valley outside the Kingdom of Dawn.

The golden wheat field was emitting a dazzling light, and a large amount of gold spirit rice was growing.

The straw men were working hard in the wheat field, weeding, watering, and driving away the birds and beasts. Everything was so peaceful and harmonious. A large number of farmers had a clear division of labor and were naturally doing their things.

A tall, golden humanoid made of straw was constantly patrolling the area. Its golden eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadow of a big tree. Upon closer inspection, it was Li Xiang. However, there was a faint trace of evil Qi on his body. This was his shadow avatar.

“Human, are you here to steal food?”

The Golden Straw man chief looked at Li Xiang coldly as he spoke. It was obvious that it had intelligence that was not inferior to that of humans.

“No, respected Chief Straw Man, I’m not here to steal food, and I won’t do anything to hurt your Straw man race. It’s just rats who are stealing my food. The poor people in the city have worked so hard to grow food and vegetables, but they’ve been destroyed by those rats. Their efforts have gone to waste, and countless grains have been wasted. I would like to ask you to protect the grain of the Kingdom of Dawn.” Li Xiang opened his mouth and stated his purpose.

When he talked about the food being wasted, his tone was extremely sorrowful, desolate, and unbearable.

“What? Some thieves steal grain and even ruin the farmland, destroying the grains. They are despicable!”

“Grain thieves must be killed. Vicious thieves!”

“Although they’re not stealing food from us, it’s wrong to destroy crops and waste food.”

When the surrounding straw men heard this, they revealed furious expressions. In their hearts, food was the most sacred and inviolable treasure. Even if they were not in their territory, they still felt a strong sense of anger. This was the nature of their bloodline.

The grain thieves must die!

“Human, although we are very angry that you encountered a thief, there are many thieves. We have to protect the wheat field. I can’t leave. Protecting the wheat field is our mission. If we leave this place, there will be no one guarding the wheat field. We can’t let that happen!”

When Chief Straw Man heard this, he was furious, but he still shook his head and refused.

“If you don’t go, the grain of the Kingdom of Dawn will be ruined by the thieves. Countless people will go hungry and have nothing to eat. I’m afraid we won’t be able to plant food in the future.” Li Xiang said bitterly again.

“Chief, we have to fight the grain thieves to the end. We can’t allow such a savage grain thief!” Someone shouted.

“We’re going to exterminate the grain thieves.”

“Protecting the food is our duty!” A large group of straw men shouted.

“Alright, then let’s create more brothers to protect the paddy fields together.

Chief Straw Man pondered for a moment. In the end, he couldn’t resist the temptation to defeat the grain thieves. They were guarding the paddy fields, and after defeating the grain thieves, they would receive the gift of nature, and their strength would become stronger. The more grain thieves they defeated, the happier they were. They could get a mysterious law to integrate into their bodies, strengthening their cores and even their souls.

This was the law of protection and also the Dao of faith. It was the foundation of their standing.

When they heard that there was a large group of grain thieves, they felt that this was an opportunity to become stronger.

The paddies followed the path of protection.

By protecting the grain, all kinds of crops would naturally give back a mysterious force of nature and life that would integrate into their bodies, making them stronger. Killing the grain thieves would give them the gift of the paddy field.

This power was like the power of faith. It was very important to the straw men as it was their unique Dao and the foundation of their existence. This was especially so since the strength of the pawns came from their physical bodies. They cultivated their bodies.

“It’s our responsibility to protect the rice fields, but we don’t have enough brothers. We need to breed more brothers.” A person said.

“However, this will take time. We need more time to harvest the grain and obtain the rice straws. Only then can we weave new rice straw men brothers.

There were at least tens of thousands of straw men patrolling the valley. However, it was only maintained at a level that could protect the wheat field, and it was not deliberately increased.

If a portion of them were to be moved out, the number of straw men in the valley would be insufficient. If anything happened, they would not be able to react in time. If there were any losses, it would be the last thing the paddies wanted to see, and they were also the most hesitant to do so.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already prepared them for you!” Li Xiang said with a smile.

With a wave of his hand, countless rice people appeared in the open space. At first glance, it looked like an extremely huge army had formed in front of them. In the blink of an eye, there were hundreds of thousands of insignificant people.

Every single one of them was lifelike.

The master creating the straw men was very skilled. The proportion of the body and the length of the limbs were all extremely coordinated. From a distance, they looked no different from real people. Moreover, they were all holding various tools and weapons in their hands.

It looked like a huge army of straw men.

“So many straw men brothers! This human has brought so many straw men brothers. This is great! Our straw man clan can start to grow again!”

“So beautiful, I can’t believe I’m seeing a straw woman! That’s great, I want a little sister!”

“These straw men brothers are so beautiful and strong. The materials used to build their bodies are all very tough. They have high-quality bodies. When they come back to life, they will be able to endure hardships and work hard. They are our brothers and sisters.”
