Chapter 2332 Shadow of the Ancient Insect
Rather than being an insect tomb, this place is more like an insect paradise. Both humans and monsters are restricted, with the exception of spiritual insects.
The witches call it the Insect Tomb. Is it from their own perspective? In fact, it is not the Insect Tomb, but the tomb of the owner of the Spirit Insect.
Unless there is a greater danger hidden here...
Qin Sang looked around and found that the scenery in the four directions was not much different. Only one direction had a more vast scenery. He decided to go there first, but he had to make some preparations before leaving.
Since you are restricted, prepare more spiritual insects.
Qin Sang is not a true insect cultivator. He usually carries only a few spiritual insects with special magical powers, and their realms are not high. However, he just killed a cultivator from the Wu clan, and this person may have raised a lot of spiritual insects.
An object flew out from Qin Sang's sleeve. It was made of jade, round in shape, the size of a fist, extremely pure in texture, and emitted white light all the time, like a jade lantern.
If you look closely, you can see that the surface of the jade lantern is covered with densely packed small holes, which are tiny holes, and the breath of spiritual insects emanates from the holes.
It turns out that this treasure is an insect nest, which is more advanced than the common spirit insect bag. It is made of special materials and is carefully refined by the man in black robe. The spirit insects can sleep in it and gain benefits imperceptibly, so it can be regarded as a rare treasure.
Because the man in black robe died too quickly, many of his methods were not used, and most of the spirit insects in the insect nest were still sleeping.
Although the man in black robe is dead, the mark in the spirit insect's body is still there, but without its master, the mark is not difficult to erase.
"The strange insect must be the life-giving insect Gu that interacted with that person's life..."
Qin Sang sensed around but couldn't find any trace of the strange insect. It seemed that it had died along with its master.
There are two main schools of insect cultivation. The first is like Qin Sang, who concentrates on cultivating one or several spiritual insects and practicing the great way together; the second is to cultivate swarms of insects and win by numbers, among which there is one or several core spiritual insects who become insect kings and command the swarm.
It’s not that insect cultivators don’t want to cultivate more powerful spirit insects, but the resources needed to cultivate spirit insects are much larger than those required to refine spiritual treasures, and resources are also needed for their own cultivation. The difficulties involved are certainly well understood by the cultivators of the beast taming art.
There are a lot of spirit insects in the insect nest, but we cannot arbitrarily assume that the black-robed man is practicing the second school. Moreover, even if it is the second school, once the core spirit insect dies, the value of the insect colony will be greatly reduced.
Qin Sang gently stroked the insect nest, and with a slight movement of his mind, he saw flashes of light on the surface of the insect nest, accompanied by bursts of thunder.
This move was intended to remove the mark left by the black-robed man in the insect nest, but it would actually provoke a reaction from heaven and earth. The cultivators here were really restricted in what they could do.
Qin Sang sighed inwardly, and ordered the Tianmu Butterfly to protect him and concentrate on removing the brand.
Gradually, the speed at which the spiritual light of the insect nest flashed became faster and faster. The spiritual insects living in the nest also sensed the abnormality and became restless, but everything was under Qin Sang's control.
There was no sun, moon or stars in the sky, only the vast blue sky. An unknown amount of time had passed before the insect nest suddenly became brighter and turned into a ray of spiritual light flowing on the surface of the insect nest.
Qin Sang held up the insect nest with one hand and showed a satisfied smile. The mark of the man in black robe had been completely removed. He immediately activated his spiritual sense and refined the insect nest effortlessly, becoming the master of the insect nest.
The scene inside the insect nest immediately appeared before his eyes.
Refining the insect nest does not mean subduing these spiritual insects. It will take some more effort. Qin Sang moved his mind and locked onto a nest in the insect nest.
There is a spirit insect lying in the nest, its aura is in the early stage of the sixth transformation. It is the strongest spirit insect in the nest and the only spirit insect that has undergone the sixth transformation.
Qin Sang had noticed this spirit insect a long time ago and set up restrictions when he got the insect nest, so this spirit insect is still sleeping.
This spiritual insect looked as ugly as the strange one, as if it was made up of the remains of various spiritual insects, but in a different way.
Qin Sang swept the entire insect nest with his spiritual sense, and he understood what the man in black robe was practicing.
Strictly speaking, this person does not belong to any of the two major schools. He can raise swarms of insects to fight against enemies, but his ultimate goal is to raise Gu and let these spiritual insects devour each other to determine the strongest insect Gu.
The insect nest was almost full of various poisonous insects, many of which Qin Sang had never heard of. Their magical powers were strange and vicious, and the insect poisons they produced were naturally very strange. This person only had two six-change insect poisons in his hand, but he must have cultivated more than these six-change insect poisons, and they were all swallowed by the strongest one.
The current one can only be kept so that it can assist the strongest insect Gu in controlling the insect swarm. When its strength is increased to a certain level, or another six-transformation insect Gu is born in the insect swarm, it will also become the food of the strongest insect Gu.
The insect poison cultivated in this way is extremely efficient, but it also has great disadvantages. However, for Qin Sang, these disadvantages have now become favorable conditions.
Qin Sang mobilized his true energy, firmly suppressed the strange insect, led it out of the nest, and then infused his spiritual consciousness into the body of the strange insect.
The spirit insects have followed the monks for many years, sharing weal and woe, and are close to each other. Generally speaking, even if it is not the natal insect Gu, it is not easy to force the spirit insect to recognize someone else as its master.
This kind of insect poison is different. They crawled out from countless insect corpses, and their temperaments have changed drastically. They are brutal and cruel, and have low intelligence.
The black-robed man used the brand to suppress it forcefully, and constantly used the secret technique to cleanse it, so that the insect Gu could recognize its master, but this recognition was very fragile. The black-robed man was dead, and the brand became a rootless duckweed. Qin Sang took action and easily destroyed the brand and replaced it.
"Hiss..."
The strange insect made bursts of hisses and twisted in Qin Sang's palm, looking a little anxious. Its violent instinct made it want to devour its master, but the strong pressure made it dare not act rashly.
Finally, the hissing sound gradually weakened, and the strange insect lay obediently in Qin Sang's palm, completely surrendering.
"Well, its ability is similar to that of the strongest monster insect. This person can actually maintain the ability of the cultivated insect within a certain range. It's a pity that I didn't find the cultivation method in his relics, so I can't continue to improve this monster insect, but I can control the insect swarm..."
Qin Sang silently gave an order, and the strange insect flapped its ugly wings, and invisible waves enveloped the insect nest.
The insect nest suddenly became restless, and streams of black air continuously poured out of the insect nest. The air was filled with all kinds of strange and venomous insects. Most of the poisonous insects had experienced fighting and devouring, and had long been unrecognizable.
In the blink of an eye, the place where Qin Sang stood was covered by a dark swarm of insects, turning into a black insect cloud that covered an area of dozens of feet. There were countless poisonous insects in the cloud, and the strange insect was in the center of the cloud, like a king.
After the strongest monster insect dies, it becomes the real insect king!
Through this insect king, Qin Sang can control the entire insect swarm. He also selects several five-transformation poisonous insects from them and subdues them one by one, making them insect generals to assist the strange insects.
'call! '
'call! '
……
Above the jungle, a black cloud whizzed back and forth, sometimes changing into various shapes, extremely flexible.
After some practice, Qin Sang completely controlled the insect swarm. Next, he could let them explore the way and protect the Tianmu Butterfly from disaster. It wouldn't be a pity even if they all died.
At this time, Qin Sang looked up at the sky and saw that the blue sky was a little dark, indicating that night was about to fall.
There is no alternation of sun and moon here, but there is also a distinction between day and night.
Every night, the Tianmu Butterfly always felt inexplicably uneasy, as if there was some danger hidden in the darkness. While subduing the spirit insects, Qin Sang never let down his guard, but he found nothing.
'Buzz...'
The cloud of insects enveloped Qin Sang.
Qin Sang could not be seen at this time. Only a black cloud could be seen flying in the sky, passing through large tracts of jungle.
Darkness fell quickly, and soon it was completely dark.
The Tianmu Butterfly stood on Qin Sang's shoulder, flapping its wings gently, and suddenly the flapping speed became a little faster.
Qin Sang frowned slightly, and felt the uneasiness of Tianmu Butterfly again, but there was nothing unusual about the strange insect in his hand. He wondered if it was because its intelligence was too low that it could not sense the danger.
He ordered the swarm to speed up, and the cloud of insects whizzed past in the night.
The night could not block Tianmu Butterfly's sight. Everything was clearly visible within its field of vision, and the shadow of the mountain in front was getting closer and closer.
There are no stars or moon in the sky, and it is cloudless.
The jungle fell into sleep, the grass and trees swayed, the water gurgled, everything seemed so peaceful, but the Tianmu butterfly's uneasiness always existed.
The shadows of the mountains ahead were much farther away than they looked. When the sky was about to brighten, they finally reached the edge of the jungle. Qin Sang ordered the swarm of insects to stop and looked ahead. He saw thousands of mountains undulating and stretching endlessly. They were actually mountains that were even wider than the jungle.
"What the hell is this place?"
Qin Sang frowned. He was not afraid of encountering the enemy, but he was afraid of having no information and wandering around like a headless fly.
The mountains were just as quiet as the jungle, almost eerie. There seemed to be no living creature in the woods all over the mountains, not even a spirit insect could be seen.
There is nothing to do at this point but to keep moving forward.
Qin Sang was about to give an order to the swarm of insects when the Tianmu Butterfly suddenly flapped its shadow. The strange insect in his palm finally sensed something, raised its head and shook it vigorously.
Qin Sang's expression changed slightly, and he looked alert.
Just at this moment, early morning finally arrived, and a ray of light from the sky dispelled the darkness. Strangely, the two spirit insects immediately stopped being restless and calmed down.
"eccentric!"
Qin Sang was full of doubts.
Judging from the performance of the two spirit insects, it was obvious that danger in the dark was approaching them, but it disappeared immediately after dawn.
"What's the difference between day and night?"
Qin Sang didn't understand what was going on, but he knew it would be best to leave the jungle first, hoping to find the people who were sucked in with him, capture them, and torture them to get some information.
Thinking of this, Qin Sang ordered the swarm of insects to concentrate on their journey.
Soon the sky brightened. The two spirit insects behaved normally during the day. The cloud of insects flew over the mountains, but new mountain shadows kept appearing in front of them. It seemed as if this continent had no end.
The cloud of insects flew tirelessly until dusk. When the night fell on them again, the cloud of insects showed no sign of stopping.
It was night again. Qin Sang paid close attention to the two spirit insects. He saw that the strange insect immediately became agitated, and the Sky Eye Butterfly was also restless. Qin Sang's heart sank. They had flown so far, but they were still not far away. He looked back, but there was nothing behind him. What was following them?
Just then, an unusual sound of wind was heard.
The Tianmu Butterfly maintained its Tianmu magical power all the time, and saw a strong wind rising in the night. It was not an invisible wind, but a strange gray wind, carrying the breath of decay and withering.
At the source of the strange grey wind, a shadow flashed by, and Tianmu Butterfly only saw a vague outline. The shadow looked like an insect, but its body was larger than a human, and it was hard to tell whether it was an insect or a demon.
The phantom's movements were mysterious and there was no sign before it appeared. A strange grey wind blew straight towards the cloud of insects.
Qin Sang was already on guard and reacted very quickly, immediately ordering the cloud of insects to move away. However, the speed of the strange gray wind was too fast, and the poisonous insects on the periphery were unable to avoid it and were contaminated by the strange wind.
The moment Qin Sang saw the strange wind, he felt threatened, knowing that this wind was not simple, and looked at the poisonous insects. He saw that the poisonous insects were caught in the wind, and their bodies immediately stiffened, and were swept away from the insect cloud by the strange wind.
Qin Sang could feel that they were not dead, but just became old and weak!
Obviously, this is the wind of withering, which will take away the vitality of living things. The cultivators of the Void Refining Realm have no worries about their lifespan because their vitality can always be maintained at its peak, but if their vitality is taken away, they will also die of old age!
"What kind of spiritual insect is it that has such magical powers?"
Qin Sang knew that he must find a way to kill the spirit insect, otherwise the cloud of insects would vanish into thin air after a few gusts of withering wind.
Facing such an enemy, the cloud of insects could not provide much help. Qin Sang acted decisively, put the poisonous insects into the insect nest, held the strange insect in his hand, and was secretly on guard.
At this moment, an unexpected scene occurred.
The Withering Wind brushed past them, and a yellow cloud appeared out of nowhere in front of them. The yellow cloud turned into a big mouth and swallowed the Withering Wind. Along with a sharp whistle, a centipede-like spirit insect flashed in the yellow cloud with a ferocious appearance.
It swallowed the yellow cloud in big gulps, its belly bulged high, and it cried out with a bit of pride, then disappeared into the darkness.
"This is……"
Qin Sang was stunned. It turned out that the Withering Wind was not aimed at them, but a battle between two spiritual insects.
Something is wrong!
The auras of these two spirit insects were very strange. Qin Sang had a feeling that they didn't look like living creatures, but more like...
Qin Sang recalled the images of his ancestors that he had seen in the Blood Spirit Vein, and couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that these were also the phantoms of ancient spirit insects, and they just happened to break into the battlefield image of two spirit insects?
Maybe it is not a coincidence, and the magical power is real, and the disappearance of those poisonous insects is proof of it!
Qin Sang looked at the deep night sky, thoughtfully.
At this moment, the Tianmu Butterfly suddenly sounded a warning. Yellow clouds appeared under Qin Sang and a column of yellow air shot out.
Tianmu Butterfly hurriedly took Qin Sang to dodge. The yellow gas column brushed past them and hit the sky. Then they heard a roar and a shadow of an insect was forced to appear. It was the spirit insect that had just spewed out the wind of withering.
I saw that this insect had a dragon-like head and horns, but a locust-like body, with its wings spread wide. Each side had more than ten wings. These wings vibrated rapidly, and the invisible waves blocked the yellow air column in front of it.
Taking this opportunity, Qin Sang ordered Tianmu Die to take him away from here.
Unexpectedly, the next attack followed closely, still beside them. They seemed to have become earthbound spirits. No matter how far they flew, they were always trapped in the battlefield of spirit insects!
