Chapter 1459: Time-Dwelling Insect Swarm
"It turns out that the source of this calamity is this volcano. If this mountain is destroyed, then wouldn't the calamity be eliminated? If the calamity is eliminated, then this Lingyuan secret realm can be considered to be integrated into the small world, and then the cultivators of the small world can be allowed to mine the calamity crystal mines inside, which can be considered a good income." Zhang Xuan secretly calculated in his heart.
Zhang Xuan went directly into the volcano and went deep into the flames.
The magma of this volcano was surging, and even though he was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Refinement Realm, he could feel the strong burning force of the calamity flames.
Just as he walked deeper into the crater, he found a bug as small as a pinhole.
Zhang Xuan wondered: "What is this? How can such a bug survive in such a harsh environment?"
He immediately realized that this insect was extraordinary.
But the grade of this insect is too low, only reaching the second grade.
Next, he quietly followed the insect, wanting to see if there was an insect nest nearby.
Sure enough, the little bug flew towards the depths of the volcano.
The deeper you go, the denser the evil power around you becomes, and the higher the temperature of the calamity flames becomes, corroding the evil power around you more strongly.
The insect in front of him was obviously very alert. While flying deeper into the flames, it also used its spiritual sense to detect the surrounding environment from time to time.
Zhang Xuan was surprised: "I didn't expect such a small insect to have spiritual consciousness and even a trace of intelligence. The universe is indeed amazing."
Zhang Xuan followed the bug for several days, from the outskirts of the volcano to the deeper parts of the volcano, and he discovered more and more such bugs.
These insects vary in size. Generally, the more energy they have, the larger they are.
The more insects there are around, the more difficult it becomes for Zhang Xuan to detect them with his spiritual sense, and sometimes he will be bitten by these insects.
After being bitten by the bug, Zhang Xuan found that his body had not changed.
These bugs were too small and caused little harm to him, so Zhang Xuan didn't notice anything unusual for a while.
However, he vaguely felt that this kind of insect was indeed more dangerous.
The entire interior of the volcano is interconnected, with roads leading to the center, like a honeycomb.
Zhang Xuan speculated at this time, could this volcano be the hatching nest of this kind of insects?
Coming to the center of the volcano, Zhang Xuan saw a queen insect as big as an adult.
The queen insect was lying in the middle, observing the movements around her with sharp eyes.
When it heard Zhang Xuan's movement, even Zhang Xuan felt a palpitation.
"Buzz buzz..." The mother insect made a slight sound from its mouthparts.
"Oh no, we've been discovered." Zhang Xuan secretly thought that this was not good.
When the queen insect chirped, dense swarms of insects all around swarmed over Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan ran quickly, but even at the entrance, a large number of insects swarmed in.
In this small space, Zhang Xuan had nowhere to escape.
When countless bugs fell on him and bit him more and more, Zhang Xuan felt that it was completely different from the occasional bites before.
He finally realized what he had lost: his lifespan!
This kind of insect can actually devour your lifespan!
Zhang Xuan was shocked. He suddenly remembered what was recorded in some ancient fragments. In ancient times, there was a kind of insect called time-dwelling insect swarm, which fed on life span. They originally grew in the place where the long river of time rolled back. He didn't expect to see this kind of insect in the depths of the evil flames.
Zhang Xuan was surrounded by more and more insects, and he felt that his lifespan was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"No, if I continue like this, I'm afraid that before I can get out of this volcano, my life span will have been devoured by these time-dwelling insects."
Zhang Xuan immediately held the Zhentian Sword and swung it towards the swarms of time-dwelling insects.
Wow…
The Zhentian Sword slashed into the swarm of time-dwelling insects, and a large number of time-dwelling insects were chopped down to the ground.
However, there are some larger time-dwelling insects that were able to escape from Zhang Xuan's Heaven-Slaying Sword.
"How come the physical strength of the insect-dwelling swarm is so strong at this time?" Zhang Xuan was surprised.
According to the records of ancient fragments, although the time-dwelling insect swarms can devour lifespans, their physical strength is not that strong. Could it be that they have mutated?
"Now these time-dwelling insect swarms build their nests in volcanoes burned by calamity flames and feed on calamity flames. After 300 million years, it is not surprising that the physical strength of these time-dwelling insect swarms has mutated." Zhang Xuan immediately made a judgment in his mind.
More and more time-dwelling insect swarms are pouring out. We can’t keep wasting time like this, otherwise we won’t be able to escape.
Zhang Xuan's seven divine veins were activated, and the great space of annihilation descended with a bang.
At this moment, the time-dwelling queen in the middle showed a human-like look of surprise.
"Squeak..."
The mother insect screamed.
The arrival of the Great Silent Space made this time-dwelling mother insect seem to remember something.
It recalled the time when the ancient catastrophe came 300 million years ago, and it was also like the arrival of the end of the world.
The phantom of the flower of the Origin Divine Tree, its petals opened, and directly swallowed these time-dwelling insect swarms into the great space of annihilation.
In this great space of annihilation, the sea of swords floats and sinks, the river of souls surges, and a huge corpse of a true demon lies in the center of the great space of annihilation.
The swarm of time-dwelling insects rushed towards the edge of the great annihilation space like headless flies.
Zhang Xuan was also anxious at this time. There were too many insect-dwelling swarms at this time. If he let these insect-dwelling swarms run rampant in this vast space of annihilation, it would not take long for his spiritual energy to be exhausted.
Once the spiritual energy is exhausted, the great annihilation space will disappear into thin air, and the swarm of time-dwelling insects will break out of the mirror again.
At this moment, the time-dwelling mother insect made a chirping sound.
When the Time-Dwelling Insect Swarm heard this voice, the originally chaotic Time-Dwelling Insect Swarm stopped rushing around and hung in the air, listening to the orders of the Time-Dwelling Queen Insect.
The time-dwelling mother insect scanned the vast space of annihilation with vigilant eyes.
As an ancient queen insect that has survived for more than 300 million years, it certainly knows how dangerous this place is.
"Squeak..."
At this time, the mother insect chirped again, but this time the chirp was not directed at the time-dwelling insect group, but at Zhang Xuan.
"Hmm? This time-dwelling mother insect wants to communicate with me."
Zhang Xuan probed with his spiritual sense, and sure enough, the Time-Dwelling Mother Insect also probed into his spiritual sense.
The two parties can communicate through spiritual consciousness.
"My fellow Daoist, we are just living peacefully in this hatchery to guard the Blood-colored Sky Monument. We don't interfere with other people's affairs. Please show some mercy." said the mother insect Shiqi.
"Your Lingyuan Secret Realm is in my little world, and you still say that you don't interfere with other people's affairs?"
"Are you the master of this small world?" asked the Time-Dwelling Mother Insect.
"good."
"We are all people who have survived the ancient catastrophe by chance. We are living in this ruined secret realm. We did not expect to fall into your small world. Please forgive us." said the mother insect Shiqi.
