Chapter 62: The Tree of the Spiritual Eye, the mystery solved

Looking around, the number of white jade poisonous locusts here is at least more than 10,000.

Such a large number of insect swarms is very threatening.

Even if a cultivator falls into it, he will be eaten up and die tragically under their mouths.

Chen Qingyun suppressed his mind and did not dare to act rashly. He carefully explored the situation in the cave and found that there were several skeletons of fire cloud lizards scattered here, which were incomplete.

Chen Qingyun also looked for a long time before recognizing that these were skeletons of fire cloud lizards.

"There are still remains of fire cloud lizards here. It is estimated that the fire cloud lizard came here to find food and sent itself into the tiger's mouth and was eaten up by these locusts."

Chen Qingyun speculated.

Judging from the degree of weathering of the skeleton, it has been at least four or five years.

This means that this cave has existed four or five years ago.

In addition, what made Chen Qingyun frown was that there were a large number of insect eggs scattered here.

These insect eggs are pale white, about the size of peanuts, and are oval.

Because the larvae that have not yet hatched are moving, the eggs are slowly rising and falling, or trembling, as if they will hatch at any time.

The number of these eggs is at least more than 3,000.

These white jade poisonous locusts have already multiplied here.

In order to protect the successful hatching of these eggs, most of the locusts will stay in this cave and rarely go out.

This incubation period will last for more than half a month.

If Chen Qingyun had not discovered this cave in time, he would have come back after ten days or half a month.

Those two acres of spiritual fields would have been eaten up by these insect swarms.

How could they only encounter a small number of white jade poisonous locusts foraging outside and track them here.

"More than 10,000 locusts, and thousands of eggs, this is too much."

Chen Qingyun frowned when he saw it.

"These are all highly poisonous locusts. Even if they don't eat the spiritual fields, if they bite those Chen family mortals, one bite is enough to kill them."

"Find the locust king first. There must be a leader."

Chen Qingyun paid close attention.

He successfully found the white jade poisonous locust king among these white jade poisonous locusts.

This insect king is half a meter in size.

A pair of sharp and pointed teeth.

The body is covered with jade-white scales.

Looking majestic, sitting cross-legged under an ancient tree, motionless, as if sleeping.

The aura of this white jade poisonous locust king has reached the first-order middle level, equivalent to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"Strange, how can there be a white jade poisonous locust at the sixth level of Qi Refining?"

Chen Qingyun's eyes flashed with doubt.

It is not surprising that there is a white jade poisonous locust king among a group of white jade poisonous locusts.

Chen Qingyun had expected it.

What puzzled him was

The White Jade Poisonous Locust was only a first-class low-grade demon insect, and its strength was only at the third level of Qi Refining at most.

The one in front of him actually surpassed this strength.

This made Chen Qingyun think of the two Fire Cloud Lizards with unusual strength before.

At this time, the same thing appeared in front of him.

With a strong doubt in his heart.

Chen Qingyun's attention was immediately placed on the ancient tree next to the White Jade Poisonous Locust King.

The ancient tree was about 16 or 17 meters long, with branches and leaves extending in all directions, and the overall look was like a mushroom.

Even if it grew underground without sunlight, it could still radiate vitality, which attracted Chen Qingyun to take a few more glances.

What's more peculiar is that at the root of the tree, there are still a few drops of spiritual liquid condensed at this time.

"What is this?"

Chen Qingyun controlled the Earth Puppet, quietly approached, and took a few glances.

It took a long time to finally recognize the origin of this spiritual liquid.

"The essence of the spiritual wood, is this the Spirit Eye Tree?!"

The Spirit Eye Tree.

According to the family's ancient books.

This is a spiritual wood that grows in underground caves, spiritual veins, spiritual mines and other places.

Every other day, its roots will condense a spiritual liquid called spiritual wood essence.

The spiritual wood essence has the magical effect of improving cultivation and nourishing the body.

If taken by monsters, it can optimize blood and improve some strength.

Seeing this kind of spiritual object, Chen Qingyun's eyes showed excitement.

At this time, thinking of the two fire cloud lizards with abnormal strength, it is estimated that they took the spiritual wood essence, causing the body to mutate.

Thus breaking through the limitation of not being able to advance to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

One Qi Refining Level 5 and one Qi Refining Level 6 were born.

The unsolved mystery that once troubled Chen Qingyun and Chen Qingyan was finally solved at this moment.

Judging from the size of these spiritual wood essences in front of them, it is estimated that six or seven drops have been gathered.

Look at the white jade poisonous locust king, guarding this spiritual eye tree and guarding this spiritual wood essence.

With its presence, the fellow tribesmen around dared not get close to it, let alone touch the essence of the spiritual wood.

"The essence of the spiritual wood is a good thing. Now we should clear the insect swarm, but we must not damage the Spirit Eye Tree."

Chen Qingyun moved his body and distanced himself from the underground cave.

He did not attack from the ground.

He did not rush to control the earth puppet to attack.

This kind of insect nest can be easily solved according to the strength of the earth puppet.

It should be noted that the spiritual tree, a spiritual object of heaven and earth, should not be affected.

"There are too many white jade poisonous locusts. Once they attack, they will be alarmed. It will be difficult to catch them all in one fell swoop when they rush out of the cave."

"We have to think of a way to solve them on the spot."

Chen Qingyun wandered around the cave for a while, thinking of countermeasures.

After a while, he took out six formation flags and arranged them around one by one, and the formation was completed.

"Use the Small Thousand Sword Formation as a backup to seal off this area so that the insect swarm cannot escape."

Chen Qingyun used the Small Thousand Sword Formation in battle for the first time.

This kind of formation can trap the monks in the late stage of Qi refining and release thousands of flying swords to start killing.

It is still effective to deal with such large-scale insect swarms.

Since he plans to take action, he will not show mercy.

As the formation opens.

The six formation flags were activated together, forming a formation barrier that covered a distance of a hundred meters in radius.

The range of this formation is enough to allow thousands of flying swords to attack at the same time.

The attack density is not high, very compact.

There are no areas with large openings for attack.

After setting up a formation to deal with it, Chen Qingyun used the Hidden Spirit Veil again.

"These locusts are too numerous and highly poisonous. Just in case, I'd better hide my figure to avoid being spotted later."

The veil of hidden spirit unfolds and falls on the body.

Just in the blink of an eye, Chen Qingyun's figure disappeared, and his breath was completely covered.

After making preparations, Chen Qingyun controlled the earth puppet and took the lead in attacking the white jade poisonous locust king.

Whoops!

The earth puppet revealed its figure and transformed into a tall figure holding a long sword, looking down at the white jade poisonous locust king in a condescending posture.

The sudden appearance of the puppet not only alarmed the surrounding locusts, but also awakened the locust king.

Buzz buzz.

The white jade poisonous locusts began to riot in a small area, vibrating their wings and flying around, making a buzzing sound.

The Earth Elemental Puppet looked indifferent, the spiritual power surged out of his body, a powerful aura erupted, and he slashed down with a sword!
