Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 2336 Mutation

The second elder of the Danniao clan is named Hongtong, and he is in a very anxious state.

Since being drawn into the insect tomb, he has encountered the ancient insect images three times in a row. Due to lack of experience in the first time, although he defeated the ancient insect images, both he and his natal insect Gu were injured, which laid a hidden danger.

The second time was a little better, but before he and his natal insect poison could recover, he was dragged into the ancient insect's photo again, and he couldn't help but want to curse.

According to past experience, once you are targeted by the ancient insect, there is no escape and you will fight to the death.

Fortunately, as the second elder of the Danniao clan, he has a profound foundation and plenty of spiritual medicines. Now he and his natal insect Gu are relying on the elixirs to forcibly suppress their injuries, hoping to get rid of these two ancient insects as soon as possible.

Hong Tong was secretly anxious, not because he felt bad about the pills, but because he was worried that the images of ancient insects would continue to come. He didn't know how long he would be trapped in the insect tomb. If his injuries continued to worsen, his situation would become more and more dangerous.

'Om! '

As a thought flashed through his mind, Hong Tong suddenly heard the sound of a piano. He quickly put away his distracting thoughts, and then he was enveloped by a shadow, and bursts of rapid sounds of breaking through the air were heard all around him.

The ground beneath him was shaking, waves of earth were surging up, the earth was rumbling, and several surrounding mountains were shaking, with rocks rolling down.

Then some places on the ground bulged up high, as if new mountains were about to grow. The raised ground emitted a faint golden glow, and then turned into round boulders that shot into the sky.

These huge rocks flew to Hongtong, and with a loud 'bang', they joined together to form a round stone ball that wrapped around Hongtong. The joints were airtight and had a metallic luster, making it look extremely solid.

This is the magical power of a spirit insect. His natal insect is a spirit earthworm, which is very good at controlling metal and stone. This magical power was originally used to trap the enemy, but now it is used as a defensive measure.

The moment the stone ball was formed, ripples spread from the void. When they touched the stone ball, they caused violent fluctuations and emitted bursts of clanging sounds.

It turns out that this ripple is sound waves, and the source is a picture of one of the ancient insects. Its shape is very special, a round ball of hair.

The call of this ancient insect sounds pleasant to the ear, but it hides murderous intent. It is a very insidious sound-killing ability. Hong Tong almost suffered a great loss just now.

The stone ball blocked the ancient insect's sound-killing ability, and suddenly fell rapidly, narrowly passing by a rainbow of light.

At the moment when the rainbow light and the sound waves collided, Hong Tong's eyes flashed coldly, and he turned his palm over, revealing a shadow in his palm.

The aura showed that it was a spiritual insect with a high level of cultivation, but it was always shrouded in shadow and its appearance could not be seen clearly.

The spirit insect's back bulged to the extreme, as if it was about to explode, and then suddenly contracted, making a "dong" sound that was like a thunder drum, resounding through heaven and earth.

In an instant, the ancient insect that had emitted the sound-killing ability suddenly sank downwards, as if it had been hit hard. It felt dizzy and its reaction was slow. A pitch-black object appeared above its head at some point.

This thing is not big, but it has tremendous power and can suppress this ancient insect!

At the same time, a golden light appeared behind the ancient insect, and a slender golden spirit insect was vaguely seen. Its body bent and bounced, and it shot out, piercing through the ancient insect like a sharp sword.

The ancient insect's cry suddenly stopped, and its body shattered like a mirror.

The golden spirit insect was still full of momentum and took advantage of the situation to kill another ancient insect.

Hong Tong had been struggling with the two ancient insects for a long time and finally found the best opportunity to take action. If he was lucky, he could kill the two ancient insects in one fell swoop.

At this moment, Hongtong hesitated for a moment, as if he had discovered something shocking, and his face was full of surprise.

The golden spirit insect was a little slow due to its master's hesitation and missed the opportunity.

Hong Tong did not stamp his feet or beat his chest because of this. He rushed out of the stone ball without even looking at the living ancient insect. He stared at his own natal insect Gu, feeling both surprised and happy.

"Hiss..."

The golden spirit insect shook its head and made a sound. It was a little unskilled at first, but the sound quickly changed and became melodious and beautiful. It was exactly the same as the sound of the ancient insect that had just 'died'!

Immediately afterwards, the familiar sound waves spread forward with the golden spirit insect as the center.

……

At this time, Qin Sang and Yu Ling were quietly approaching, taking in the whole scene, and both couldn't help but reveal expressions of surprise.

"Do it!"

Qin Sang did not hesitate at all because Hong Tong was distracted by the spiritual insect, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The next moment, slight fluctuations appeared beneath the golden spirit insect.

At this time, the living ancient insect was counterattacking Hong Tong. This spiritual insect had seven colors on its body. It was a seven-color ancient insect. Its most powerful magical power was to emit various colors of rainbow light. Each color of rainbow light had different power, but the lethality was very strong, and the seven-color rainbow light was even more powerful.

Qin Sang chose the right time. Just then, a seven-colored rainbow light fell from the sky and attacked the golden spirit insect and Hong Tong. Moreover, as the opponent died, the strength of this colorful ancient insect was soaring, and its power was even greater than before.

Hong Tong suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and ordered the golden spirit insect to concentrate on dealing with the seven-colored ancient insect. Suddenly, he became alert and shouted angrily: "Who!"

At this time, a butterfly shadow flashed under the golden spirit insect, it was the Tianmu Butterfly!

The third eye on the butterfly's wings was very different from before, as if covered with a layer of green film. The third eye flickered and lightning jumped. These lightnings were immediately dyed green by the green film and turned into Yi Mu divine thunder.

Then, green electric flashes appeared on the butterfly's wings, and instantly gathered into a green lightning, striking the golden spirit insect.

At this time, there was seven-color rainbow light above the head of the golden spirit insect and Yimu divine thunder under its body. It was attacked by two attacks at the same time and was in a precarious situation.

This is not over yet. Yu Ling appeared right after the Tianmu Butterfly. She gave the Green Feathered Spirit Bird a pill in advance. The Green Feathered Spirit Bird immediately turned into green arrows. The green arrows left three graceful arcs in the void, instantly blocking all the retreat routes of the golden spirit insect!

For the golden spirit insect, this is almost a death situation!

The insect tomb is special. Once Hongtong’s spiritual insects are eliminated, this person will not be able to cause any trouble.

However, Hong Tong is still a variable, and he is Qin Sang's target!

Accidents happened one after another, and Hong Tong's eyes were bloodshot, realizing that this was an ambush carefully prepared by the enemy for him, and it was almost a dead end!

At this critical moment, Hong Tong had only one choice. His face flushed immediately, and he was about to sacrifice his own blood and essence to perform a forbidden technique to control insects, instantly increasing the combat power of the golden spirit insect. He even took action without caring about the backlash from heaven and earth.

Just then, a familiar figure came into view.

"It's you!"

When Hong Tong saw Qin Sang's face clearly, he was shocked.

Outside the Insect Tomb, he presided over the formation and saw Qin Sang's various behaviors. In addition to resentment, he also felt a little afraid. This person was in the formation, but he was able to kill another person right under his nose. His strength was really terrifying.

At this moment Qin Sang suddenly appeared in front of him. Hong Tong was shocked to see Qin Sang rushing towards him with murderous intent.

"not good!"

Hong Tong sensed a strong aura of danger from Qin Sang. If he rescued the golden spirit insect now, he would be the one to die!

In a split second, Hong Tong chose to save his life without hesitation, even though it was likely to be a futile struggle. He quickly threw the spirit insect in his hand up, and both the spirit insect and the stone ball flew over his head and turned into a thick black cloud.

He still remembered the terrifying power of the Daiyu Immortal Mountain and was prepared to prevent Qin Sang from swinging the mountain at him.

At this moment, he saw a hint of sarcasm flash across Qin Sang's eyes.

The purpose of using force before was to cut off from the identity of "Elder Qin". Qin Sang just hinted and confirmed that Yu Ling did not know what happened in the formation, so he decided to continue hiding his strength.

Now, he is using the methods of 'Elder Qin'!

What surprised Hongtong was that he did not see the fairy mountain, but felt an unfamiliar sword intent locking onto him.

At this moment, he almost thought there was a third enemy.

"This person is not only a powerful physical cultivator, but also a sword cultivator!" Hong Tong couldn't believe it.

The void darkened, and four sacred beasts flashed in the starlight. All this happened in an instant. The four sacred beasts turned into a ray of starlight, and the star sword slashed towards Hongtong from an unexpected angle.

Taking action here would result in backlash from heaven and earth, so Qin Sang did not use the sword formation to weaken Hong Tong's strength, but instead used a killing move!

The fairy mountain opened and closed greatly, and the star sword was mysterious and unpredictable. The defense built for the Daiyu Fairy Mountain was almost useless in front of this star sword, and Hongtong was too late to change his tactics.

In the critical moment, Hong Tong didn't care about the backlash from heaven and earth. Suddenly, his brows cracked, and countless thin threads of light shot out, like white insects, twisting and dancing, making people's scalp numb.

These threads of light condensed in front of him, and in an instant formed a divine totem. The totem's spiritual light changed and turned into a giant shield, blocking in front of him.

The sword light is here!

When the sword and shield came into contact, a crack appeared on the surface of the giant shield, and the crack spread out to the surrounding area with the crack as the center.

"puff!"

Hong Tong spurted blood wildly and flew back.

A horrifying sword mark suddenly appeared on his chest. His defense was broken by the sword. The sword mark slanted through his chest and abdomen, which was shocking to see.

Hong Tong's face was as pale as paper. He was not dead yet, but the sword intent was still destroying his body crazily.

At this time, Qin Sang did not continue to draw his sword, and a cry of surprise came from his ears.

"Elder Qin, get out of the way!"

At some point, a violent wind raged behind him. The terrible wind pressure could destroy everything on the earth. A transparent wind blade was born from the violent wind and slashed towards Qin Sang's back.

Qin Sang used the power of the sword domain, otherwise he would not have been able to severely injure this person instantly, but this also angered the insect tomb. The more powerful the magical power used by the cultivator, the stronger the backlash will be.

Before taking action, Qin Sang agreed with Yu Ling that he would personally capture and kill Hong Tong, and Yu Ling would defend him from the backlash.

Yu Ling summoned out another spirit insect in advance and was ready for battle, but when the moment really came, she realized how strong the backlash was. She could only pull the transparent wind blade and make it slightly deviate from its direction to buy time for Qin Sang.

However, Qin Sang had anticipated this. How could he put his life in the hands of others? The strange insect in his hand trembled, and a poisonous path appeared under his feet. He took a step forward, his figure flashed, and the transparent wind blade was continuously weakened. At the same time, a scream was heard.

The scream came from Hongtong.

He was seriously injured because he personally resisted the sword light and suffered backlash from heaven and earth, but he had no one to resist the backlash for him, which made his injuries even worse.

To make matters worse, the connection between him and his natal insect Gu... was broken!

The golden spirit insect is dead!

It was surrounded and attacked by the Sky-Eyed Butterfly, the Green-Feathered Spirit Bird and the Colorful Ancient Insect at the same time. The golden spirit insect was unable to hold on alone, and without the support of its master, it died in battle. The sound-killing magic that it had newly comprehended became its swan song before death.

The cultivator and his natal insect poison were cultivating each other's lives and their minds were connected. When the golden spirit insect died, Hong Tong was immediately attacked back and vomited blood, his breath becoming extremely weak.

Hong Tong's face was full of despair, and at this moment, several spirit insects attacked him again, and Qin Sang and Yu Ling were also eyeing him covetously.

He knew that he had no chance of survival, and suddenly he roared towards the sky with deep hatred, his whole body glowing with golden light.

Qin Sang thought to himself that it was not good, but it was too late to stop it, so he sighed.

'Rumble...'

The sky was densely covered with thunderclouds, silver snakes were dancing wildly, and there were gusts of cold wind. It was extremely strange and the counterattack of heaven and earth was unpredictable and incomprehensible.

A gust of cold wind blew past Hong Tong, and the golden light quickly dimmed. Hong Tong's figure appeared and turned into wind and sand.

It turns out that Hong Tong knew that he was going to die, and if he continued to struggle he would probably be subdued by the enemy. Living was worse than death, so he exhausted all the strength in his body, causing the backlash of heaven and earth, and he ended his life!

Hong Tong's last attack overdrawn his potential, and with his indomitable will, he struck at the enemy, but was easily avoided by Qin Sang and Yu Ling.

The sand is blown away by the wind.

Yu Ling said unwillingly: "This person is so determined!"

"Let's see if he left anything behind."

Qin Sang shook his head. He failed after all. It was too difficult to capture a late-stage Void Refinement expert alive, especially in a place like this.

When the celestial phenomenon weakened, Qin Sang and Yu Ling flew to the place where Hong Tong fell and looked around.

After Hong Tong died, the colorful spirit insect also disappeared. It was unknown whether it was wiped out by the celestial phenomena or it lost its target and dissipated automatically.

"Fellow Daoist, have you noticed the golden talisman on this man's chest?" Qin Sang asked.

Yu Ling nodded with a heavy expression.

When Hong Tong fell, the golden talisman broke and showed some signs. They suspected that this treasure might have the power similar to the Soul Lamp.

I don’t know whether the other end is connected to the Danniao clan’s temple or is managed by the Danniao clan’s shaman himself. The latter means that the female cultivator already knows about Hongtong’s demise and will be extra careful in the future.

Not only did they fail to capture Hong Tong alive and get the bait, but they might have alerted the enemy.

There is no point in regretting now.

"Elder Qin," Yu Ling looked at the place where the golden spirit insect fell, thinking, "You also saw what happened just now."

Qin Sang knew what she was referring to.

The golden spirit insect had obviously realized the sound-killing ability after killing the ancient insect and leaving a photo. It was unexpectedly a sudden change on the battlefield!

When the witch clan breeds spirit insects, they usually start with the first or second transformation. This makes it easier to guide the spirit insects to mutate. However, there is a drawback. Low-level spirit insects lack intelligence and cannot control what they will become. After mutation, it is easy for them to go astray or even become disabled.

It was different for high-level spirit insects, such as the Sky Eye Butterfly. They were now extremely intelligent and could already control themselves and knew which path they wanted to take. If they mutated again, it would be like having one more path and one more possibility, which meant that the spirit insects had even higher potential.

It should be noted that the higher the level of spiritual insect mutation, the more difficult it is.

These ancient insect images can actually cause the six-transformation spirit insects to mutate! (End of this chapter)
