Overlord: Insect Eater

Chapter 5

Mu Feng didn't directly lead a large group of people to rush over, but only he, Zhou Ye, and Mu Chen entered the seemingly dangerous crater.

The three people who entered the crater did not move rashly, but glanced around, looking for the trace of the Nine Nether Birds.

The bottom of the crater is not too spacious, the three of them quickly searched around, but still found nothing, which made their eyes even more suspicious.

Could it be that what was said on the copper plate was false?
Mu Chen pursed his lips and looked around. At this time, he had unknowingly walked to the center of the bottom of the volcano, and around it were some huge black rocks washed out by the volcano.

He looked at these huge black rocks, but he didn't see any tricks, and he sighed helplessly in his heart.

Just when he was about to turn around, he couldn't help but stop abruptly, and when he clenched the palm of his sleeve, the old copper piece appeared in his palm...

At this moment, the copper sheet was exuding a faint heat.

"This copper piece...could it be able to sense the position of Nine Nether Birds?"

Thinking in his heart, Mu Chen quickly called Mu Feng and Zhou Ye to his side, and then the three began to check these black rocks piece by piece.

Finally, Mu Chen stopped in front of a black rock. At this moment, when he put his palm on the black rock, the copper piece in the other hand became extremely hot.

"that's it!"

Mu Chen was overjoyed, and Mu Feng and the two hurried over.

At this time, the black rock in front of the three of them was about tens of feet tall, and there were some scattered holes in the rock, but the huge rock looked extraordinarily smooth perhaps because of the erosion of the magma.

"Could it be that the Nine Nether Birds are in this stone?" Zhou Ye was puzzled.

The Mu Feng father and son didn't know how to answer, so after pondering for a while, Mu Feng said decisively: "Whoever it is, first open this black rock and have a look!"

As soon as the words fell, the crimson spiritual power condensed in his hand, and then he punched heavily on the surface of the black rock.

Under this punch, the boulder trembled continuously, pieces of rubble quickly fell, and then in the eyes of Mu Chen and the others, a thick black light burst out from the crack in the boulder.

After the giant rock was completely shattered, Mu Chen saw a mass of jet-black light like ink rising quietly, floating gently at the bottom of the crater.

The ball of light is floating, and within this ball of light, there seems to be a huge black egg about the size of Zhang Xu.

The whole body of this black egg is dark and smooth, and there are inconspicuous but extremely obscure and mysterious lines on the surface of the eggshell.

Looking carefully, these lines seem to be a mysterious black bird spreading its wings and protecting the black egg in it.

"This is……"

Looking at the huge black egg that was shining with light, Mu Chen was startled for a moment, and then the color of surprise burst out of his eyes.

From the image on the copper plate I saw at the beginning, it seems that the last Nine Youque turned into a black egg and landed here...

Could it be this one in front of you?
For a moment, the three of Mu Chen were overjoyed.

Originally, if the Nine Nether Birds were still fully grown, they would have been severely injured, and it would not be so easy to catch them.

But if the other party is just an egg, then things will be much simpler!
It's a pity that their excitement didn't last long, and they didn't know if they were awakened by Mu Feng's attack just now. The originally quiet black dome seemed to be activated by something, and black halos surrounded it. , and then it rose slowly towards the sky above the crater.

……

……

When Mu Chen and others entered the Daona crater, Tian Chong did not sit idle, but secretly manipulated the swarm of devouring bees to disperse, and probed in all directions of the Black Nether Abyss.

In his memory, it was not because of the Nine Nether Birds that the original body had worked so hard to travel hundreds of millions of miles from the Spirit Zerg to the Northern Spirit Realm!

It was just a coincidence that he met Jiuyouque, who had crossed the catastrophe, and his real purpose was actually to find a kind of zerg!
In his memory, after the death of his parents, Tianchong got a scroll left by his parents, which recorded a kind of ancient zerg—Jinyuan Tianworm!
This is a precious zerg that only exists in legends, even among the spirit worms.

According to legend, the golden source silkworm is only the size of a thumb, and can live in the human heart by living on it.During its parasitism, the Golden Origin Celestial Silkworm can release a very special power, which can transform the parasitized person, improve their aptitude, and even speed up the absorption of spiritual power. It can be said to be a rare treasure!

But in the ancient records of the spirit worms, the parents of the celestial worms accidentally discovered that the so-called helping the parasites to reborn and improve their qualifications was just an illusion...

Although these effects all exist, and the effects are more terrifying than the legends, all of these are nothing but the deliberate actions of the Golden Origin Silkworm in order to speed up its own growth.

Because only when the parasitized person becomes stronger, the nourishment provided for its growth will be more sufficient, and it will also accelerate the growth rate of the golden source silkworm itself.

This seems to be a mutually beneficial and symbiotic situation, but when the improvement of the parasite enters a bottleneck, or slows down, when it cannot absorb the nutrients for normal growth, the golden source silkworm will directly absorb the parasite's life force to replenish until the parasitized person becomes a dry bone...

And even if the parasitized person can always provide sufficient nutrition, when the golden source silkworm grows into an adult, it will start to cocoon and evolve, and this parasitized person will become its best bodyguard and evolutionary nourishment!
It can be said that this is not a precious insect at all, but a bloodthirsty insect through and through!

that's the truth.

This Jinyuan silkworm will turn into a cicada after cocooning. At this time, he will have a new name, Six-winged Golden Cicada!

The legendary ancient evil insect Six-winged Cicada!

This is a terrifying beast that only exists in legends. It is famous for its six flying knife-like wings.

The legendary Golden Cicada is greedy by nature. Although it possesses supreme wisdom, it feeds on thousands of creatures, and its food intake is a bottomless pit. weakness.

The golden source silkworm was formed for a thousand years, shed its body and turned into a six-winged golden cicada, shedding its shell once every thousand years, and repeating this cycle nine times before it can be considered complete. It's all scary.

And its only weakness is that during each cocooning period, the body will become weak and vulnerable.

Ancient books once recorded a six-winged golden cicada that had molted nine times in the ancient universe. There is no way to take it.

In the end, it was an earthly supreme strongman who happened to meet the cocooning golden cicada by chance. He thought he was going to die and sent out a fatal blow, so he killed the ominous creature, and then used its body Created a battle armor of the peerless sacred level, which is indestructible.

And this Earth Sovereign relied on this to be promoted to Heaven Sovereign in the end, and earned the title of Golden Cicada Emperor in the Great Thousand World...

Although Tianchong came from the Tianmai of the spirit insect race, his parents were just ordinary people, and Tianchong's original aptitude was mediocre, otherwise he wouldn't be dozens of years old and still only in the Soul Realm.

Yes, the age of the original body is not young, but after the reshaping of the physical body, the current Heavenly Worm can be regarded as reborn, so it looks no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.

After the death of his parents, in order to survive in the clan, the original body had no choice but to risk his life and follow the instructions in the scroll left by his parents to find the Golden Origin Silkworm...

Perhaps for ordinary people, after being parasitized by the golden source silkworm, there will be no good end in the future, but the spirit insects are famous for controlling insects, so the heavenly insects are going to try to see if they can control the golden source silkworm, If he really succeeds, then he will not only have the hope of becoming the No. 1 of the spirit insect race, but also have his own place in the great world.

Maybe this is the so-called seeking wealth and insurance, after all, no matter how you look at it, it's worth it!

"Unfortunately, the exact location of the Golden Origin Celestial Silkworm is still uncertain!" Tian Chong also felt slightly regretful.

After controlling the spirit devouring bee to search for hundreds of miles around, but found no valuable information, Tian Chong was about to give up.

What he didn't expect was that among the swarms of devouring bees sent out, there were some lucky ones who brought him some information that he needed now...

"150 miles to the southeast, is it a nest of black ghost ants? It's worth exploring..."

Black ghost ants are a kind of low-level spirit insects that live in the black ghost abyss. Their individual strength is comparable to that of ghost bees, and they also live together in groups.

Where there are black ghost ants, even high-level spirit beasts are unwilling to approach them, especially in some large ant nests, there are often tens of thousands of black ghost ants living there. The army ants in the movies and TV series I watched are similar.

If one more group of black ants can be subdued, that day's worm's own strength can be greatly improved, and it will be safer to explore the black abyss by then.

Of course, the most important thing now is to prepare first. At the very least, the spirit insect sac needs to be prepared, the bait for trapping spirit insects, the spiritual liquid for cultivating spirit insects, etc. Many basic items still need to be prepared in advance.

Otherwise, how can I take away such a large group of black ghost ants by myself?Fly in the sky with the Devouring Bee?But among the black ghost ants, except for the queen, none of them can fly...

When Tian Chong was thinking about what he was going to do next...

Hey.

Above the black crater, a mysterious black egg was suspended, and at this time some extremely obscure light patterns on the surface of the black egg slowly lit up.

And with the emergence of these light patterns, everyone can feel that the spiritual fluctuations in this world suddenly become extremely violent.

Mu Feng and his son and Zhou Ye had already rushed out of the crater at this time, and everyone in Mu Yu looked at the change above their heads in horror.

"Be careful."

Mu Feng said in a low voice: "If the situation is not right, we will retreat immediately. We don't want this Nine Youque either."

Muchen nodded slightly, staring fixedly at the black egg in the sky, when a voice suddenly came to his ears.

"So it's the Nine Nether Birds..."

Mu Chen was startled suddenly, then turned his head, it was good to see Tian Chong's faint gaze.

"Brother Tianchong, do you know what's going on with the Nine Nether Birds?"

Tian Chong glanced at the young man, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said, "I know something..."

"Looking at what this Nine Youque is doing at this time, I am afraid that he wants to continue to overcome the calamity..."

"Crossing Tribulation?" The expressions of Mu's father and son changed. "This Nine Youque still wants to evolve?!"

Tian Chong nodded slightly, then looked at Mu Feng and the others, and said, "Master Mu, I think we should step back a bit, I'm afraid there will be a big change here soon!"

Before Tian Chong could finish speaking, everyone suddenly found that the sky above their heads was dimming rapidly at this moment, and there was a faint sign of changing from day to night. This change caused everyone's expressions to change.

Boo!
In the midst of that kind of darkness, a clear sound suddenly resounded between the sky and the earth, and the sound waves spread out one after another, and finally disappeared at the end of the line of sight.

"Back! Rewind!"

Mu Feng immediately roared and led everyone in Mu Yu to retreat crazily.

At the same time, everyone clearly felt the ground shaking under their feet, as if thousands of troops were galloping.

Roar!
With roars of roars, countless spirit beasts rushed out from the Black Nether Abyss, leading even dozens of high-level spirit beasts!
This scene directly terrified everyone in Muyu, and countless people began to rush towards the distant mountain wall like crazy.

If this is rushed by the beast tide, even if it is in the Soul Realm, it will probably be trampled into meat sauce!
"What's going on?!" Mu Feng, who rushed up the mountain to temporarily avoid all this, shouted tremblingly, but no one answered his question.

After a while, Tian Chong said quietly: "Don't you still understand? These spirit beasts are all sacrifices for the Nine Nether Birds to cross the catastrophe..."

As if to confirm his words, the black egg in the sky uttered a sharp bird song again.

Boo!
Another clear black sound wave quietly rippling out, this sound wave is as gentle as water, spreading across, and finally reaching the frenzied rushing herd of beasts.

At this moment, Mu Chen took a deep breath, and a look of astonishment burst out of his black eyes.

Because he saw that the spirit beasts affected by the black sound wave, no matter whether they were high-level spirit beasts or low-level spirit beasts, all froze instantly at this moment, and then peeled off their flesh and blood, turning into a running figure. Thick white bones stood in this black basin.

It turned out that the bones they saw before appeared like this...

At this time, when they looked at the Black Nether Abyss, it looked like the pasture of the Nine Nether Birds. All the spirit beasts here were livestock raised by it, in order to wait until this moment to provide themselves with enough spirits. force!

Even the copper piece obtained by outsiders was intentional. It used these to attract some greedy humans, and then took away the spiritual power in their bodies.
