Living in the world of cultivation
Chapter 492: Choose the lesser of two evils
At midnight, Su Fan left the outermost stronghold of the human-controlled area and summoned the ghost crow.
He jumped onto the back of the ghost crow, which flapped its wings of more than ten meters and instantly soared into the sky, and then its huge body gradually disappeared in the air.
Su Fan controlled the invisible ghost crow and plunged into the dark night.
The night of "Insect Heaven" was quiet and silent, especially the dense black dots floating in the air above the dense forest. They were very small and almost invisible to the naked eye.
Although these fine black dots were inconspicuous, they were all flying insects with poisonous properties. As long as they were bitten by them, half of their lives might be gone.
Many of the human monks who first opened up this plane died from the bites of these tiny and poisonous flying insects.
Not only that, in the grass on the ground, in the streams in the mountains, and in the dense forests, there were all kinds of poisonous insects everywhere.
Not only that, the entire "Insect Heaven" is not only full of poisonous insects, but also full of various poisons everywhere.
Even an inconspicuous grass can poison a cultivator to death.
Su Fan drove the ghost crow to fly quickly in the air. Occasionally, he would try his best to avoid groups of flying insects.
After flying for about three days, he finally arrived near the nest of the "Black Nightmare Spider".
"Insect Heaven" is full of countless nests of poisonous insects, and the nest of each population will control the territory of nearly a thousand miles.
Compared with other insect planes, the poisonous insects in "Insect Heaven" are not very aggressive. As long as they are not alarmed, they will hardly be attacked.
Even the insect nests are the same. As long as these nests are avoided, they will not be besieged by the insects in the nests.
Before coming here, Su Fan bought a lot of information about "Insect Heaven", especially the characteristics of the black nightmare spider, which he had already known clearly.
Compared with other planes, the insects in "Chongzhitian" are not only highly toxic, but also extremely fragile.
As long as you can resist the erosion of severe toxins, even the insect king will be a problem, because the insect king of "Chongzhitian" is very vulnerable.
The insect king of "Chongzhitian" is full of treasures, and many elite teams composed of poison cultivators will kill the insect king in "Chongzhitian" all year round.
But it is not easy to resist the severe toxins of the insect king.
Therefore, except for the poison cultivators of the Demon Sect, there are generally few demon cultivators from other sects who come to "Chongzhitian" for training.
Su Fan found a place to land near the Black Nightmare Spider's nest and put away the ghost crow.
"Boom..."
Before he could stand firm, a dense group of flying insects suddenly flew out of the bushes next to him, covering him all over.
Su Fan's eyes condensed, and the Tao seeds in his body began to rotate loudly.
"Purifying Red Lotus..."
An extremely hot anode evil spirit suddenly surged out of his body. With him as the center, all the poisonous insects within a radius of dozens of feet were instantly turned into dust.
Wherever the hot anode evil spirit passed, the towering ancient trees that several people hugged were instantly turned into black charcoal.
Feeling this extremely hot evil spirit, the surrounding poisonous insects began to flee frantically to the distance. In the blink of an eye, this place suddenly became quiet.
The poisonous insects in "Insect Heaven" are very troublesome. Generally, cultivators who come here will be poisoned if they are not careful.
Su Fan looked around, then activated the demon body, and then used invisibility and disappeared into the air.
He walked carefully into the dense forest next to him and began to move towards the direction of the "Black Nightmare Spider" nest.
The deeper you go into the dense forest, the more palm-sized black spiders there are. They are densely packed everywhere, which makes people feel scared.
Moreover, there were layers of spider webs everywhere on the ground and trees.
The spider web of the black nightmare spider is also a good material for refining weapons, especially the spider silk of the insect king, which is extremely rare and worth a lot of money.
The spider silk of the black nightmare spider is very troublesome. Once it sticks to the body, it is difficult to get rid of it. The spider silk is full of strong toxins.
Moreover, touching the spider silk here will also alarm the nearby black nightmare spiders.
In desperation, Su Fan had to activate the atomized body again, turned into a thin mist, and began to float towards the nest of the black nightmare spider.
The nest of the black nightmare spider is in the mountains. In fact, it occupies the karst cave in the mountain, extending to the ground, almost stretching for dozens of miles.
Su Fan, in the atomized state, floated into the mountain and saw countless black nightmare spiders and layers of spider webs gathered in the cave.
These dense spider webs are actually the alarm system of the black nightmare spider nest. Once touched, they will alarm the nearby spiders.
Fortunately, Su Fan was in a mist state at the moment, and he easily went deep into the bottom of the nest.
The bottom of the black nightmare spider's nest is much more spacious, but the terrain is still extremely complex. It is not so easy to find the insect king of the black nightmare spider.
Su Fan found a safe place, restored his human body, and then slapped the ghost weapon on his waist.
"Swoosh... swoosh..."
Two dark mists jumped out of the ghost weapon on his waist.
A group of mists circled around Su Fan for several circles, and then turned into the appearance of Sister Zhen, smiling at her master.
It took more than ten crystal cores of "Yin Yang Ghost Demon" and decades for Sister Zhen to break through to the ghost king realm.
With Sister Zhen's qualifications, she could not break through to the ghost king realm at all. She was purely fed by Su Fan.
Sister Zhen, who has broken through to the ghost king realm, has a ghost body that is almost real, and can now communicate with Su Fan normally.
When she first came out of seclusion, she stayed by Su Fan's side almost every day, and was a chatterbox, chattering endlessly from morning to night.
Su Fan was afraid of her, so he didn't dare to let her out easily.
"Master, I miss you, and you didn't tell me to come out..."
Sister Zhen's voice was soft and sweet, very tempting. Even though she knew she was a ghost body, it still made people full of reverie.
Su Fan was like a teddy bear now, and he couldn't stand such teasing.
"You go to the underground to find the whereabouts of the insect king, and tell me immediately when you find it..."
After listening to Su Fan's order, Yaksha was quite straightforward. The ghost body shook slightly and disappeared, but Sister Zhen was still nagging for a while before she floated away reluctantly.
"We have to take good care of her when we go back this time. This woman is too annoying..."
The two ghost slaves went there for more than half an hour, but there was no movement at all. It can be seen that the underground nest of the black nightmare spider is very big.
Finally, Yaksha sent back a thought that it had found the insect king.
Su Fan quickly activated his atomized body and instantly turned into a mist and floated to where Yaksha was.
It is better to kill this insect king as soon as possible, and then extract the toxins in its poison sac to practice. He doesn't want to stay in this broken place anymore.
Su Fan in the atomized state floated to the location where Yaksha was, and Sister Zhen had already arrived.
"Master, the cave of the insect king is in front, and there is a thick poisonous fog there. The poisonous fog is so strong that even my ghost body can corrode..."
After listening to Yaksha's report, Su Fan waved his hand and put the two ghost slaves into the top-grade ghost weapon on his waist.
Su Fan turned into a mist and came to the thick poisonous fog.
Looking at the dark poisonous fog, he couldn't help scratching his head. This poisonous fog could even hurt the ghost body, which showed how strong the poison was.
The ghost body was not real, and ordinary toxins could not hurt the illusory ghost body at all.
At this time, Su Fan didn't dare to be arrogant. He didn't know whether his atomized body could be free from the erosion of this poisonous fog.
He thought for a while, and then carefully controlled the mist to touch the edge of the poisonous fog.
"Ah..."
Although Su Fan maintained the atomized state, he was still corroded by the poisonous fog. He screamed in pain and couldn't even maintain the atomized state.
Su Fan, who had restored his human body, raised his right hand and found that the skin on his hand had become as black as ink.
His right hand had completely rotted, and the epidermis was still bubbling. In an instant, the muscle tissue disappeared, and even the remaining hand bones were constantly disappearing.
Su Fan's corroded right hand turned into drops of pungent sewage, which dripped on the ground, forming small pits.
What was even more terrifying was that this violent poison was spreading upward along his right arm.
Su Fan took out the magic sword from the ring without thinking and cut off his right arm, but it was still a step too late. The poison had spread to the torso in an instant.
His eyes condensed, and the Tao seeds in his body began to rotate.
The scorching positive pole and the manic thunder of heaven and earth roared out of the Tao seeds like two snakes and pythons, and quickly entangled with the pitch-black poison.
Although the poison of the black nightmare spider was extremely violent and fierce, it was still controlled by the positive pole and the thunder of heaven and earth, and began to slowly recover the lost ground.
Su Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, took out a bottle of top-grade interpretation pills, and poured it directly into his mouth.
"I was careless this time..."
Su Fan underestimated the power of this poisonous fog. If it weren't for the positive pole and the thunder of heaven and earth in the Tao seeds in his body to resist the poison, he would have really died just now.
He was puzzled. He had consulted a lot of information before coming.
I have never heard of any insect king in any insect nest with such abnormal poison. Many elite human teams have killed poisonous insect kings.
But the poison of this black nightmare spider king is not enough to kill a Jindan cultivator, even a Yuanying demon king may not be able to take it down.
With the strength of his body, ordinary toxins can't even penetrate his skin.
But this poisonous fog actually corroded his entire right hand. If it weren't for his quick reaction, he would have turned into a pool of sewage.
Su Fan didn't even see the real body of the insect king. The poisonous fog outside the cave almost poisoned him to death. The poison of the black nightmare spider king inside can be imagined.
Although the fifth level of "Heavenly Demon Saint Body Art" has a better effect of practicing with stronger toxins, it can't withstand such a strong toxin.
At this moment, Su Fan has already had the idea of retreating. It's better to get out of here quickly, otherwise he won't be able to practice the skills and get himself into trouble again.
This time, I lost a lot of money. Not only did I make a wasted trip, but I also lost my right arm.
Although with his recovery ability, he can slowly recover his arm after returning, but it may not grow back without a few months of effort.
Thinking of this, Su Fan activated his demonic body again and used his invisibility ability.
Because his right arm was destroyed, the effect of invisibility has been greatly reduced, but it can still hide from the low-level black nightmare spiders outside.
However, with the current invisibility state, he must not touch the layers of spider webs in the cave. If he wants to get out of the insect nest, he must have some effort.
Just as Su Fan was about to turn around and leave, suddenly a thick black fog spread from several passages around.
This time they were screwed, their retreat was cut off.
The Black Nightmare Spider King in the cave must have discovered him and manipulated the poisonous fog to trap him here.
There was no choice but to rush out.
Su Fan's eyes condensed, and the Dao Seed in his body "boomed" and began to spin.
Countless manic heaven and earth thunders and heating positive poles roared out of the Dao Seeds, and rushed out of the body to form two layers of shields to wrap him up.
At this moment, the endless thick poisonous fog was rolling towards him like a surging tide, and instantly enveloped him in the thick poisonous fog.
"Hiss...hiss..."
The thick poisonous fog frantically rushed towards the two layers of shields wrapped around his body, making an extremely harsh sound.
Although the positive poles and heaven and earth thunders temporarily resisted the erosion of the violent poisonous fog, facing the endless thick poisonous fog, the two layers of shields were constantly corroded and began to become thinner and thinner.
Su Fan frantically controlled the Tao Seed, but he obviously felt that he was not able to do it.
In this state, if he insisted on rushing out, he would definitely not be able to hold on for long.
After all, just a little bit of poison almost killed him, and now he could not hold on for a while with the endless poison in front of him.
Now Su Fan had only two choices. One was to rush out desperately, but he had no idea how big the area of the poisonous fog was.
In such a complex and tortuous underground cave, even if he activated the blood escape, it would have no effect.
Because this poisonous fog was the magical power activated by the Black Nightmare Spider King inside, it would be absolutely difficult to escape from this poisonous fog.
Maybe he could not hold on before he rushed out of the poisonous fog.
Another option was to rush into the cave of the Black Nightmare Spider King, kill the insect king, and completely eliminate the source of the poisonous fog.
Not far away on the opposite side was the cave where the Black Nightmare Spider King was, and he could activate the blood escape and rush into the cave instantly.
But in this way, he would have to face the Black Nightmare Spider King in the cave directly.
Just the poisonous fog outside was so toxic, and the toxicity of the Black Nightmare Spider King could be imagined.
In Su Fan's opinion, neither of these two options was reliable, and he didn't want to choose either one.
But at this time, Su Fan had no choice.
It was better to take the initiative to attack than to passively take a beating.
He made a choice without thinking, that is, to go in and kill the insect king.
Su Fan made up his mind and fought.
He turned around suddenly and looked at the insect king cave in the distance. A flash of blood flashed on his body, and he had disappeared on the spot.
