Overlord: Insect Eater

Chapter 17

The Bloodbeard Mosquito is just a low-level spirit insect, and its fighting power alone is not as good as the spirit-eating bee that did not evolve at the beginning.

But this kind of spirit insect has a characteristic, that is, when it is flying, it will emit a kind of light red particles of smoke...

These fumes have a certain degree of toxicity. Although they are not fatal, they can anesthetize and confuse creatures who inhale them.

After losing their resistance, these creatures became the most delicious delicacy of blood beard mosquitoes.

Looking at the red mist permeating the Kongsang Mountain below, Tian Chong knew very well that this was caused by the anesthetic smoke emitted by the Bloodbeard Mosquito.

And judging from the concentration and range of the red mist, there must be hundreds of millions of blood-bearded mosquitoes living in Kongsang Mountain!
"This is a big trouble..." Tian Chong frowned, glanced around, and then chose to temporarily retreat to a distant mountain, wanting to wait and see if someone took the lead.

There are not many people who have the same idea as Tian Chong...

It's not that these people are all scared, but that no one wants to be a young bird and make wedding clothes for others.

As a spiritual insect master, take Tian Chong as an example, if you really want to break through the barrier of blood beard mosquitoes, there are still ways, just the swarm of spirit-eating bees that have completed the overall evolution in Tian Chong's hands is enough to deal with it.

After such a long period of cultivation, the number of spirit devouring bees of today's insects has reached more than ten thousand again, and their levels have all been upgraded to intermediate spirit insects. It can be said that the combat power of today's insects has almost reached its peak state at this time .

Of course, the price is also very high, and countless resources have been filled in...

After retreating a little to the back, the worm released its wooden beetle directly. It was a huge green beetle. Its back was like a piece of dirt covered with green moss. Its six legs looked like dead wood. It looks a little ugly.

Of course, the appearance is not important, the important thing is practicality!

Just like now, under the order of Tian Chong, a thick tree trunk grew rapidly on the back of this ugly house wood armor, and it didn't stop until five or six meters later.

At this time, the house wood armor has changed drastically. Its body has almost stepped into the underground soil, leaving only the upper half of the stump, and a few dead branches protruded from the stump, and a piece of emerald green leaf hangs on it. , A pair of dead trees look like spring.

"Well, it's okay." Tian Chong looked around and felt very satisfied.

The concealment of this wooden armor in the forest is still very impressive. Of course, what I am talking about here is only visual concealment...

Stepping to the edge of the huge tree stump on the ground, Tian Chong can clearly sense the changes in the ground under his feet, and the red vines around him are only less than a foot long, but if an enemy approaches its attack range, Then these vines will soar tens of feet in an instant, tightly entwining the enemy like a poisonous snake, and the poisonous thorns on the vines will pierce the enemy's skin and kill him.

Arriving near the tree stump, Tian Chong raised his hand to cover the blue-gray bark, and then saw that the bark seemed to be alive, and slowly opened a portal that was big enough for one person to pass through...

The Heavenly Insect who entered looked around and found that the wooden house was quite large, with a diameter of more than ten meters, enough for several people to live in it.

Most importantly, there are two floors here...

All you need is a thought, and dense soft vines will grow inside the tree house, forming a staircase leading to the second floor.

It only needs a little arrangement, and this place can become a temporary base, which is why the spirit insect masters are so fond of the wooden armor.

The wooden armor in the control room opened several windows, and Tian Chong released hundreds of spirit-eating bees to investigate the surrounding situation, while he himself was preparing to recharge his spirits in his small base.

This time, the migratory locust took the initiative to release information about a sky-level insect prison, and anyone with a discerning eye would know what the plan was...

Although most of the people who come here today are attracted by the benefits, but I am afraid that no one will rush to do it in a short time.

wait……

There will always be people who can't stand their temper, so Tian Chong is not in a hurry.

With the passage of time, more and more people came to Kongsang Mountain. There are a large number of adventure teams, and of course there are some family forces around Feiling City...

Although Tian Chongyuan had been away from home for decades, he still had an impression of some well-known forces in Feiling City in his memory.

Just like the team that his spirit devouring bees just discovered, they seem to be members of the Feixie family, and the leader is their patriarch Feixie Yan, a spirit insect master who transforms into heaven. In addition to the king, he also cultivated a powerful sky-level spirit insect...

In this way, Fei Xieyan alone is equivalent to the combat power of the three heavenly realms, and there are few opponents under the Supreme!
This is why before the Supreme Realm, spirit insect masters are generally stronger than ordinary monks, because you have no idea how many powerful spirit insects are already waiting for you behind the opponent.

This advantage will weaken or even disappear after reaching the Supreme Realm, because the powerful in the Supreme Realm have Dharma Bodies, and can practice more powerful magical arts or even supernatural powers, or powerful artifacts, etc. These all affect a person's combat power key factors in the evaluation.

It is very difficult to cultivate spirit insects that can reach the supreme combat power, and the daily consumption even exceeds that of human monks, so even a spirit insect master cannot afford to raise too many. In the long-term situation, even if the spirit insect master does not have a powerful natal spirit insect protection, he will still fall into a disadvantage!
After Tian Chong had a general understanding of the strength of all the people attracted by the Worm Prison this time, his heart felt a little heavy.

With my own strength, I am afraid it will not be easy to gain something from this exploration of the worm prison...

"I can feel the smell of food, Xiao Chong Xiao Chong, where are you now, help me find the food, find it!"

Suddenly, Jinyuan Celestial Silkworm, who had been sleeping in the sea of ​​celestial worms, woke up, and immediately screamed in the consciousness of celestial worms through the natal link between the two.

Tian Chong, who was suddenly quarreled by this guy, couldn't help but rubbed his temples, and then said angrily, "What are you talking about! There's no food here, are you sleepy?"

"I'm not stupid, I feel it, I really feel it, that seductive breath, hurry up, I'll show you the way, you go quickly..."

Jinyuan Celestial Silkworm's eager words sounded again.

Tianchong raised his brows, and suddenly discovered Huadian... Could it be that the Jinyuan Tianworm was talking about the inside of the worm prison?
If this is really the case, then he has virtually gained a huge advantage this time.

"You said... in which direction?" Heavenly Insect tried to ask.

"It's just to the southeast of you. Although the breath is weak, I'm sure I can't be mistaken. It's there. As long as you can find that food, it will be good for me and you!"

Jinyuan Celestial Silkworm tried to lure Celestial Worm with benefits.

"What are you talking about? Wouldn't it be beneficial for me not to find it for you?!" Tian Chong had a righteous look on his face at the moment. "At the beginning, I said that I would help you break the cocoon, so I will definitely do it. I will definitely fight for this kind of thing that helps you!"

"How about giving me [-]% when you find it?"

"Hey, I took a look just now, the direction you mentioned is very dangerous..."

"...!!!"

……

……

Three days later, tens of thousands of people had gathered in Kongsang Mountain at this time, almost filling the foot of the surrounding mountain, and all kinds of spirit insects appeared in the sky, on the ground, and even underground...

Everyone is wary of the opponents and even teammates around them. Unless they belong to the same faction or family, everyone must be careful, otherwise you don't know when you will be betrayed by the so-called "teammates".

During this period of time, some people came to invite Tian Chong to form a team, but he rejected them all.

Although it may seem a bit stretched to be alone, it's better than being stabbed in the back, right?

What's more, with the existence of Jinyuan Tianworm, I might be able to find some good things faster. Tian Chong didn't expect to come out with a group of so-called "teammates" to share these things with me!

Finally, after a long wait, some people who thought they were powerful began to try to rush into the red mist of Kongsang Mountain.

It's a pity that because of the dense fog, other people can only see the back of the other party rushing into the forest, and then they will be blocked immediately.

With the first person to take the lead, those around who originally wanted to wait and see couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed into the red mist with actual combat methods.

Seeing this, Tianchong also put away his wooden armor, and then burst into the red mist amidst the urging voice of Jinyuan Celestial Silkworm in his mind.

After breaking into the mist, Tian Chong's field of vision was blood red, and he immediately closed his pores and held his breath to prevent the poisonous gas in the red mist from invading his body.

"Oh, you are too timid. It's just a little fog of confusion, not even poison. With me protecting you, what are you afraid of!"

The golden source silkworm inside the light cocoon directly taunted the behavior of the celestial worm, and then saw a circle of golden halo spreading from the celestial worm's body, and then stopped three inches away from its body surface. The red mist is isolated.

"Hehe, you're not small, very good, keep it up!" Tian Chong's face showed joy, it seems that in the future, he can't just treat this Jinyuan Celestial Silkworm as a foodie, isn't it quite useful.

"Hey, what do you need to say?"

Although I don't know what expression the Golden Origin Silkworm will have at this time, Tian Chong has already imagined the state of a proud golden cicada walking with eight-character steps.

"Go to the left, where the bugs are the least, and it's very close to the good food..."

"no problem!"

With such an automatic navigation, these red fogs actually helped Tian Chong a lot, delaying all his competitors.

Traveling all the way in a hurry, under the guidance of Jinyuan Celestial Silkworm, Tian Chong did not encounter too large a swarm of blood-bearded mosquitoes. If there were only about ten thousand of them, his spirit-eating bees would be able to quickly eliminate them without any damage. .

"Is it the front..."

As he continued to move forward, Tian Chong noticed that the surrounding environment had become humid, and even began to gradually condense water vapor, and his brows could not help but wrinkled.

"It's such a rich heaven and earth aura, it's very suitable for the growth of spirit insects..."

"It's a pity that there is a little less anger here..."

It is estimated that the spirit insects and beasts that originally lived in the Kongsang Mountain have become the food of the group of hundreds of millions of blood-bearded mosquitoes.

As the worm continued to penetrate, he suddenly found that the red mist around him was gradually fading, and the blood-bearded mosquitoes were also decreasing, and in the end, there was not even a single mosquito in sight...

Tian Chong raised his head and looked at the scorching sun above his head. He was sure that he was definitely not in Kongsang Mountain at this time!

"Have you already entered the worm prison..."

Although everything around him looked the same as the outside world, after reaching the Heaven Melting Realm, the spirit of the Heavenly Insect had already had some connection with the heaven and the earth, so he could feel the brokenness and decay contained in this space, as if It was like entering a house that was about to collapse.

"Jin Chan, show the way!" Tian Chong said directly to Jin Yuan Tian Cang in his consciousness.

"Okay! Go 120 miles to the right from now on! I feel that there is definitely something good there..." Jinyuan Tiancan shouted excitedly.

"Come on, let's go!"

Heavenly Insect released its golden rhino horn armor, then jumped to the top of its head, stepped on it, and controlled the golden rhino horn armor to go in the direction pointed by Jinyuan Celestial Silkworm.

A quarter of an hour later, the Heavenly Worm descended from the sky, and what appeared in front of him was a deep valley with gusts of gloomy wind. Black aura spewed out from a cave deep in the valley, like the entrance to hell.

"What a terrifying Yin-type spiritual power!" Tian Chong couldn't help shivering violently when he was blown by the dark wind.

And the spirit worms that can live in this environment often have very good talents, which makes the worms look forward to it.

Released its own earth spirit scorpion to explore the way, Tian Chong relied on the golden shield of the golden source silkworm to block the cold wind, and began to go to the depths of the cave bit by bit.

The journey was quite smooth, because there were no traces of living creatures in the cave, only the shells of some spirit insects that had been corroded into dust by the evil wind survived...

"In front, right in front!"

Under the continuous urging of the Golden Origin Celestial Silkworm, the Celestial Insect finally came to the deepest part of the cave, and found that there was actually a small pool.

The water in the pitch-black spiritual pool ripples in the dark wind, and insect eggs like pearls are floating above the surface of the spiritual water. If you don't look carefully, you may think it is a bird in the sky reflected in the pool water. Like stars.

Tian Chong held his breath and came to the pool silently, then looked at the eggs one by one, and when he saw clearly the larvae inside the transparent eggs, his breathing became short of breath.

"This is... the nine-turn black-bearded mosquito?!"
