#731 - Zong Xiaoxiao's Thoughts

He also faintly realized that it seemed his own changes had caused these strange insects to change their attitude towards him, faintly showing a hint of submission.

He tentatively reached out his hand and moved towards the largest strange insect.

The strange insect shook its antennae, and its cold compound eyes no longer contained murderous intent, but instead made him feel a hint of flattery.

Qin Qipeng touched the huge scythe of the strange insect.

Icy, hard, as cold as eternal ice.

It was hard to imagine how such a terrifying monster was born.

"Kneel!"

Qin Qipeng tried to issue a command. While speaking, the immortal power around him was fluctuating slightly.

The strange insect tilted its head and shook it, and then it really prostrated itself, extremely respectful.

Really subdued it?

Qin Qipeng felt a little unbelievable.

He looked at the human-shaped giant cocoons that had been broken open around him and sighed.

Although he also wanted to avenge these clansmen, it was clear that subduing this strange insect was more important at the moment. Moreover, to be honest, he could only deal with a few of the strange insects in this cave.

Just the strange insect in front of him, even his full blow could not hurt it in the slightest.

"Get out of the way!"

Qin Qipeng shouted, and these strange insects immediately parted a path, exceptionally obedient.

Qin Qipeng strode towards the human-shaped giant cocoons that had not yet been broken open, and gently tore one of them open, revealing a young girl's face full of fear.

"Xiaoxiao?"

Qin Qipeng was also slightly stunned.

That's right, the girl in this giant cocoon was Zong Xiaoxiao.

Upon hearing this, Zong Xiaoxiao also raised her head. The tear stains on her face were crisscrossed, and she didn't know how many times her tears had dried.

Over the years, she had tried countless times to break open the giant cocoon and escape, but she had never succeeded. Her heart had long fallen into despair, ready to face death.

But now, Qin Qipeng's figure suddenly descended like a god, and the light from the outside world shone back into the dark and narrow space, instantly causing this desperate girl to lose control of her emotions, plunging into Qin Qipeng's arms and crying her heart out.

Qin Qipeng opened his arms somewhat awkwardly, not knowing where to put his hands for a moment.

The fragrance of the girl made his mind sway a little, and he could only keep comforting her: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

In the void, Qin Changqing looked at this scene and smiled: "After so many years, finally a child has become enlightened. I wonder when I can be a grandfather…"

After a while, Zong Xiaoxiao finally completely vented her emotions, raised her head, and stood up from Qin Qipeng's arms a little embarrassed. Her face was not only filled with joy, but also a hint of shyness. She said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Thank you, Brother Qipeng."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw a group of strange insects gathered around, tilting their heads and staring at her, and was immediately frightened, screaming again and plunging back into Qin Qipeng's arms.

Qin Qipeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's okay, they won't hurt you!"

Zong Xiaoxiao then slowly got up and found that, as Qin Qipeng said, these strange insects did not attack them, but just stood there quietly, seemingly curious about their behavior.

"Brother Qipeng, what's wrong with them?"

Therefore, during the years she was wrapped in the giant cocoon, she was frightened and haggard, living in fear all day long, and regretted coming to participate in this Tongtian Conference.

Fortunately, she was rescued, and it was Brother Qipeng who saved her.

Zong Xiaoxiao, who originally had feelings for Qin Qipeng, saw him at her most desperate moment, an emotion that outsiders could not understand.

At this moment, Zong Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with admiration and love for Qin Qipeng.

Qin Qipeng shook his head slightly: "I don't know why they are like this either. Let's not worry about this for now. Let's quickly rescue the people. Judging from the time, the Tongtian Conference is almost over."

Zong Xiaoxiao nodded quickly.

The two immediately acted separately, breaking open the giant cocoons one by one. People emerged from them one after another, also revealing shocked and surprised expressions, and then immediately joined the camp of rescuing their companions.

Although the strange insects were slightly restless, they still stayed in place and did not make any excessive moves.

Soon, all the giant cocoons were broken open. Qin Qipeng looked at them and was a little surprised. The team he had previously built had expanded to nearly five hundred people, and now only more than one hundred were still alive, but most of them were his clansmen.

"Young Master, what exactly is going on?"

A man with a scar on his face walked over quickly, asking while looking around at the strange insects with some fear.

This was one of the Earth Immortal Ninth Layer clansmen sent by the Kunpeng clan to protect him, named Zong Yao.

Qin Qipeng shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either, but these strange insects seem to obey my orders now!"

Zong Yao immediately showed a shocked expression: "You can command these Death Gods?"

"Death Gods?"

Qin Qipeng asked in surprise: "Do you recognize them?"

Zong Yao nodded: "I can probably guess. I heard that there is a special kind of life in the Immortal World. Their bodies are as strong as immortal armor, they have many hands and feet, and they are born with a pair of scythes to reap souls. They live by killing and like to absorb divine souls. They are born from the Netherworld, jump out of Yin and Yang, and are not within the Five Elements. They are called Death Gods within the Immortal World. According to the description, they should be these monsters in front of us."

Qin Qipeng looked at the extremely quiet strange insects around him in surprise, not expecting that these guys had such a mysterious origin and such a cool title.

Zong Yao frowned and asked doubtfully: "I heard that the aura of these monsters is in the Netherworld of the Upper Three Heavens, belonging to the Demon Realm. They don't like to contact the outside world, and they are very powerful. Although they don't belong to the Demon Race, they can make even the Demon Saints very afraid. They have tried to take down the Netherworld several times, but have repeatedly failed. How could they appear here?"

What he didn't expect was that it was precisely because these monsters were extremely powerful that the Demon Saint wanted to bring these monsters under his command.

However, the Demon Saint tried several times and even forcibly brought some out for research, but found that they could not be controlled at all. In the end, he released some Death Gods to Killing Immortal Island as trial items for the participants.

Looking at the so quiet Death Gods, a look of excitement flashed in Zong Yao's eyes: "Young Master, the growth limit of Death Gods is extremely high. If we can bring them back, they will definitely be a powerful help. Moreover, they are social creatures. You saw before that so many of us were powerless against them. With their help, who can resist this Tongtian Conference?"
