Chapter 387 Flying Insects

It has been three days since he entered the ruins of Lingxu Sect. After a few days of investigation, Ye Chunyang found that although this sect is only a third-rate sect in Lingtian Realm, its scale is not smaller than some second-rate forces in the northern veins, and it can even compete with Tianqi Sect.

At this time, he was hovering between several peaks, releasing his spiritual sense to perceive carefully to prevent accidentally entering the forbidden area.

After a moment, he looked at a certain peak in the north, his eyes flashed slightly, and his figure quickly fled.

In less than half an incense stick of time, he had landed on an empty platform on the top of the peak. This place is slightly closer to the inner sect passage, but he did not plan to meet with Ju Ruhai and Taoist Juechen immediately, but wanted to collect more relevant information here.

Judging from the information left in the previous caves, the Pixiu is an ancient relic with a cultivation level of about the second level upper stage, comparable to the poisonous toad encountered before. Moreover, as the mountain guardian spirit beast of Lingxu Sect, this beast is most likely in the inner sect. If you rush in without preparation, you will be in danger.

And this peak is close to the inner sect, and I think the cultivators who once lived here will leave more clues.

After thinking this, he took a step forward.

Not far from him, there is a cave, the appearance is well preserved, and there is a faint spiritual glow. It is obviously left by a person of considerable status in this sect. However, when he set out to enter the cave, he suddenly heard a slight movement in his ears.

His perception is not wrong, but after a careful inspection, he did not find anything wrong.

Ye Chunyang frowned, secretly puzzled in his heart, and could not help but increase his vigilance.

There are independent practice rooms and alchemy rooms in the cave, and even the spirit pet room is equipped with them, and there is no sign of dilapidation. I think it is maintained by a magic array.

There were not many elixirs left in the alchemy room. Ye Chunyang had always been striving for perfection, preferring to have less than inferior. He had no interest in ordinary elixirs, so he passed by this place and went directly into the practice room.

Amid a loud rumbling sound, the stone door of the practice room was pushed open, and a cloud of dust and smoke filled the air. Ye Chunyang glanced around and found that there were many books and scrolls in the room. He took the books out with a sudden thought.

As he guessed, these books recorded things about Lingxu Sect. Ye Chunyang was not interested in the history of this sect. He just wanted to know where the Pixiu was hiding and what dangerous places there were in this huge sect.

However, most of the books recorded what Lingxu Sect experienced in ancient times. The information about Pixiu was the same as other caves. There was no detailed record. It only described its cultivation and characteristics, and never mentioned where it was.

After reading all the books here, Ye Chunyang frowned even more tightly. It seemed that the disciples of Lingxu Sect were deliberately avoiding something, otherwise why would they never mention Pixiu?

After a moment of hesitation, he picked up the scroll on the other side and read it, but lost interest after just a glance.

These scrolls are just some low-level spells, only suitable for foundation-building cultivators and Qi-refining cultivators, but they are no longer of much use to him now.

"It seems that I still have to go to the inner sect to get more information. I don't know if Ju Ruhai and Juechen have passed the passage?" Ye Chunyang touched his chin, showing a thoughtful expression.

The distribution of this ancient sect is somewhat similar to that of Lingyun Sect where he was back then. Resources are divided into inner and outer sects. According to his experience, most of the truly useful information will be stored in the inner sect.

But I don't know whether Ju Ruhai and Taoist Juechen have reached the passage of the inner sect first.

After contemplating for a while and finding that there was indeed nothing valuable here, Ye Chunyang turned around and left. No matter what the situation of the two people was, he had to find the Pixiu this time, and he had a vague premonition that this time would not be peaceful, and there might be some unforeseen dangers waiting for them.

Thinking of this, he became even more solemn.

At this moment, he heard another movement in his ears, which was a series of subtle buzzing sounds. Although the sound was not loud, Ye Chunyang could hear it clearly with his keen perception. He suddenly looked at the source of the sound, but his face suddenly changed in shock the next moment.

After a few "buzzing" sounds, the place suddenly became overcast. Ye Chunyang's eyelids jumped and found that this piece of dark cloud was actually transformed by dense flying insects, each of which was the size of a thumb, shaped like a giant ant, dark purple all over, and exuding a chilling breath.

What was even more shocking was that when these flying insects came, every blade of grass and every tree in the cave was eaten clean, and even the stone walls in the cave were in a mess, as if they were about to be penetrated.

Ye Chunyang's heart trembled, and he flew back without thinking too much.

This swarm of insects was so powerful that if they were pounced on, even an iron-boned and golden body would be eaten clean.

But he did not expect that these flying insects were so fast that they had just fled away when the opponent occupied the place where he was standing now. If he had not used the "Close-foot-and-Tianya" escape technique, he would probably have been dead by now!

Ye Chunyang felt a chill in his heart, and immediately offered the golden mace to throw it at the swarm of insects. The sharp blade of this mace was just right for dealing with these flying insects of unknown origin.

Sure enough, after circling a few times, countless bodies of flying insects fell from the sky, and the momentum of the attack could not help but pause.

Seeing this, Ye Chunyang could not help but show a happy expression on his face.

But just as he was about to cast a spell to strangle the group of flying insects, they suddenly rushed towards the golden mace without fear of death. Then, Ye Chunyang was shocked to find that the treasure had lost contact with him. No matter how he cast a spell, there was still no movement. Then he heard a series of sharp "crackling" and "crackling" sounds, and countless golden magic weapon fragments fell from the insect swarm.

The golden mace was gnawed into pieces by the insect swarm in a moment.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chunyang's pupils shrank suddenly.

This treasure had been with him for many years since he obtained it from the Guangling Cave Mansion. He had even trained it from a semi-spiritual weapon to a spiritual treasure through his spiritual ascension technique. But now it was chewed into pieces by these weird flying insects. How could he not be surprised?

Moreover, this golden mace was one of his natal magic weapons. Now that the magic weapon was destroyed, the energy and blood in his body suddenly surged, and his true energy was damaged.

"Eating Demon Gu!"

He looked at the flying insects carefully and tried to remember something in his mind. After a moment, his eyelids suddenly twitched and he squeezed out a low sound from between his teeth.

The Demon-eating Gu is a rare kind of Gu in ancient times. It is said that it can gnaw at all things. Even a magic weapon made of tough materials cannot be maintained due to the amazing characteristics of this Gu. Moreover, this kind of reproductive power is extremely strong. Even if there is a large-scale death, as long as The mother Gu is immortal and will soon give birth to a large number of insect swarms.

It's just that this kind of Gu insect, like the four-eyed poisonous toad, has long since disappeared and has never been seen by the outside world. It is unexpected that there are still some left in this ruins. What's more important is that although the Monster-eating Gu reproduces very quickly, the mother Gu is extremely difficult to cultivate, and it is difficult to survive even one out of tens of millions.

Moreover, this kind of Gu insect lives by devouring, not only gnawing foreign objects, but also other species may devour each other, which is extremely cruel and terrifying.

There are hundreds of insects in this swarm now, and after thousands of years of devouring them, the ones who survived are obviously elites. This can be seen from the scene where the golden mace was chewed up just now.

"I didn't expect there to be such a terrifying Gu insect in the world. Now I'm in trouble." Ye Chunyang took a deep breath and his heart gradually became serious.

"Not really."

Just as he was thinking about how to get out of here, Guang Lingzi's faint chuckle came from the spirit-nurturing tree.

"Senior, do you know how to deal with this Gu?" Ye Chunyang's heart moved.

"Although the Demon-Eating Gu is known to devour all things, this Gu also has weaknesses. As long as you can manage to control its mother Gu and make the insect swarm your own, you don't have to worry about being eaten back by it," Guang Lingzi said.

"Control the insect swarm?" Ye Chunyang couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, and said with an ugly face: "Regardless of the power of the mother monster-eating Gu, just because every insect in this swarm is exactly the same, how can I tell which one is the right one? Mother Gu?"

Although he believed what Guang Lingzi said, it was extremely difficult to control the mother Gu in the current situation. With the ferocity of the insect swarm, he was afraid that they would be eaten away before he even got close!

"Is there no other way besides this?" he asked solemnly.

"This is the only way. In ancient times, the Demon-Eating Gu was a strange insect that made many people jealous. Now the entire cave is occupied by this Gu. If you can't control the Mother Gu, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave alive." Guang Lingzi said helplessly.

Hearing this, Ye Chunyang couldn't help but take a breath. Judging from the all-pervasive devouring powers of these monster-eating Gus, he had no doubts about Guang Lingzi's words. It was just not a matter of finding the mother Gu in the insect swarm and subduing it. It's such an easy thing, and even a single mistake may cost you your life.

At this time, Guang Lingzi smiled and said: "If you were an ordinary person, it would be impossible to find the mother Gu, but you have Wuji wild fire in your hand, which is a treasure to restrain flying insects. As long as you sacrifice If you use this fire, you will be able to force it out."

"Is it?"

Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows and looked up at the insects, his face thoughtful.

After a moment, he pressed it with one hand, and the Liuwu Han Yuan Cauldron flew out from the dantian, and wild fire spurted out from it.

Although I don't know if Guang Lingzi's proposal is feasible, there is really no other way at the moment, and with the fierceness of the infinite wild fire, even if the mother Gu cannot be forced out, a passage will be burned in the insect swarm so that he can escape.

With this thought in mind, Ye Chunyang immediately activated the magic formula, and the wild fire on the cold cauldron became even more intense. Just hearing a "chichi" burning sound, the void continued to twist and fluctuate, and countless monster-eating monsters turned into black dots and fell from the air.

However, there were a large number of these Gu. Despite the ferocious attack of Wuji Desolate Fire, the sky was still filled with darkness, and the buzzing sound caused by flapping its wings was shocking.

Ye Chunyang didn't care much, he only focused on controlling the endless wild fire, which was bound to burn the insect swarm completely.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and a sharp sound sounded like tearing eardrums. A demon-eating Gu covered in black armor flew out of the insect swarm at high speed, and arrived in front of Ye Chunyang in an instant, opening its bloody mouth and heading towards He pounced.

Ye Chunyang's complexion changed. This insect had a sharp aura, was two feet long, and had jagged sharp fangs in its mouth. It reflected a cold light in the sunlight.

Without much thought, Ye Chunyang recited the incantation, and the person disappeared dozens of steps away, causing the insect's attack to fail.

At the same time, he also saw the appearance of this insect clearly. It was twice the size of other monster-eating Gus. Its pair of dark purple fleshy wings were constantly flashing with a frightening cold light, and its black armor was like gold and iron. , hard and thick.

Judging from its appearance and aura, this insect is the Mother Gu of the Swarm!
