C321 The Soul Devouring Bug Reappeared
After walking for two hours at the bottom of the valley, a wisp of Divine Sense attached to the corpse was found crawling out of the ground. Its body was emitting a thick aura of death, and its eyes were gray. There was no emotion in them, as if it was dead. When it saw the refined corpse, the spider suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a gray spider silk that wrapped around the refined corpse.
The refined corpse struggled back with all its strength, but who knew that the spider silk was extremely tough and could not be broken. Moreover, Feng Yimo could feel the aura of death from the refined corpse's body rushing towards the giant spider through the spider silk. He was shocked and quickly ran to the refined corpse's side. The Asura Black Core Flame turned into a line of fire and shot onto the refined corpse's body, following the spider silk and spreading towards the spider.
The spider let out a frightened roar and spat out the spider silk. In an instant, it disappeared into the ground and disappeared.
Feng Yimo didn't dare to be careless. All demon beasts and demon insects were absorbing life force. This was the first time he had seen someone absorbing death Qi. Could it be that this giant spider wasn't from the Cultivation World?
He ordered the refined corpse to continue forward and search for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Venation Stone.
...
Duanmu Xie's ship finally arrived at the top of the canyon. The thick aura of death caused the protective barrier outside the ship to tremble violently. The consumption of spirit stones increased rapidly. The Evil Ghost Sect's cultivators were trembling in fear and fear. Even Yan Qing's expression turned serious.
Seeing the ink-like seawater, Duanmu Xie frowned. The situation here was more serious than he had imagined. If these people followed him down, it would be very difficult for them to survive. Therefore, he said in a clear voice, "Stay here and wait for me. I will be back soon!"
"Yes, I will obey the ancestor's decree!" All of the cultivators heaved a sigh of relief and replied in unison.
"Yan Qing, follow me!" Duanmu Xie waved his hand and opened the ship's barrier. A roll of Yan Qing rolled up and the two of them were thrown into the dark sea. Before they fell into the water, a skeleton walking stick appeared in Duanmu Xie's hand. The head of the walking stick was tied with a skull necklace. With a wave of the walking stick, the skull necklace instantly enlarged and surrounded Yan Qing and him. It turned into a black translucent shield that blocked the water and dived down.
Previously, during the battle with the Shark King, the twenty-eight Skull Heads on the skull necklace had been lost. After three years of accumulation, they had accumulated enough Skull Heads. These Skull Heads were the heads of a newborn baby that had just been a hundred days old. Moreover, they had to be babies born on a full moon night. He had used his Nascent Infant fire to burn them for forty-nine days before they were formed.
The two of them descended nearly ten thousand feet and finally landed on the ground. However, the protective shield formed by the skull necklace was on the verge of collapse, as if it could break at any time. Clearly, the corrosion of death energy was intensifying. Duanmu Xie hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and spat out a worn-out bronze bell. It floated above their heads and formed a protective shield.
Yan Qing was stunned for a moment before he cried out involuntarily, "Ancient treasure!"
The worn-out bronze bell emitted an ancient and heavy aura, which clearly surpassed the Highest Grade Magic Treasure. As soon as the bronze bell appeared, the traces of deathly aura that entered were all blocked outside.
"Hehe, this is a Qinhuang Bell. It is an item used by the founding ancestor of the State of Qin in Cultivation Country. Its defensive power is extremely strong. Even if the Shark King were to come here, he wouldn't be able to break it even if he bombarded it for a day!" Duanmu Xie said proudly. He urged the Qinhuang Bell and flew towards the depths.
However, at the bottom of the canyon, his Divine Sense was only 20 meters away. It greatly restricted his observation, making Duanmu Xie very unhappy. He formed an incantation gesture with one hand and powerful magic power surged into the Qinhuang Bell. The Qinhuang Bell immediately let out a dull buzzing sound. With a slight shake, it broke through the layers of seawater and charged forward.
With the protection of the ancient Qinhuang Bell, it was not afraid at all. Even the soul fragments of the wandering demon beasts could not resist the Qinhuang Bell. They were knocked out of their souls, and it caused Duanmu Xie to laugh out loud.
However, maintaining the Qinhuang Bell consumed a lot of spirit energy. He needed to find that kid as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he ran out of spiritual power and the Qinhuang Bells lost their defensive function, he would be in danger. Therefore, Duanmu Xie sped up.
Feng Yimo was also speeding up. After entering the rift, a strong sense of danger rose in the depths of his heart. It was as if he was sitting on a volcano that was about to erupt and could lose his life at any time.
Although the Heavenly Eye Pupil could be seen to be 300 meters away, as time passed, he felt dizzy from fatigue. He had no choice but to consume the Illumination Pill to recover his eyesight. At the same time, he released a few metal puppets to help search for the Heavenly Venation Stone.
Suddenly, a series of bubbles appeared on the ground. Feng Yimo immediately realized that a large number of Soul Devouring Insects would appear along with the bubbles. It was like this last time. He hurriedly recalled the refined corpses and metal puppets and leaned against a stone wall in the canyon. He spread all the Soul Devouring Insects throughout his body, waiting for the Soul Devouring Insect to explode.
The Soul Devouring Insect Bug King seemed to have sensed the aura of its own kind ahead of time. There was some commotion, but it was forcefully stopped by Feng Yimo.
Sure enough, not long after he sat down, a large number of Soul Devouring Insects emerged from the ground and scuttled into the Sea of Death. Then, the bubbles shattered, and countless Soul Devouring Insects occupied the entire valley. They smelled Feng Yimo's scent and flocked to fight with the Soul Devouring Insect Insect King and the Rank 2 Soul Devouring Insect that formed the Insect Armor outside of his body.
However, the Soul Devouring Insects that gushed out were the lowest level of larvae. How could they be a match for the Soul Devouring Insect King? They were torn apart and eaten one after another!
Feng Yimo took the opportunity to use his powerful medicinal Divine Senses to start his bug taming technique and started to tame the Soul Devouring Insects crazily.
Several hundred zhang away from Feng Yimo, Duanmu Xie and the other two similarly suffered the attacks of the medicinal Soul Devouring Insects.
At the beginning, Duanmu Xie did not take it to heart when he saw the ugly bugs. He controlled the Qinhuang Bells to continue forward, but very quickly, the outside of the Soul Devouring Insects was covered by Soul Devouring Insects. They were densely packed and there was no gap at all.
Moreover, what frightened Duanmu Xie the most was that through the Qinhuang Bell's ancient treasure, he discovered that his soul power was slowly disappearing!
Yes, it was Soul Devouring Insects!
Duanmu Xie was scared out of his wits. He never thought that the legendary ancient demonic bug would appear here. On that day, Feng Yimo fought with Ba Ning. Although the Soul Devouring Insect Insect King was released, the Soul Devouring Insect Insect King's appearance was different from the larva in front of him. Moreover, it did not directly display the ability to devour souls. Duanmu Xie naturally did not recognize it.
With so many Soul Devouring Insects, Duanmu Xie gave up on pursuing Feng Yimo. He didn't dare to stay in the rift any longer. He rose rapidly and left the rift.2
For some reason, the Soul Devouring Insect only flew around the canyon. It didn't leave the canyon's range, but it also shocked Duanmu Xie. In just half an incense's time, 30% of his soul power had been lost!
"Master, Master, there are so many Soul Devouring Insects. If that kid is really inside, he will definitely die without a complete corpse. Let's go!" Yan Qing's face was deathly pale as he begged in a trembling voice. Just now, when he saw his master panicking and his soul force disappearing rapidly, he was certain that the Soul Devouring Insects that suddenly appeared in the rift were not good and could kill people!
Duanmu Xie's face sank, showing slight dissatisfaction. He said, "If he died, it would be even better. The Spiritual Flame would become ownerless and easier to capture. Wait a bit more!"
Yan Qing saw that his master was a little angry, and did not dare to mention the matter of leaving again.
After a day, Duanmu Xie saw that the Duanmu Xies in the valley were still swimming around. His heart was burning with anxiety. If he waited any longer, his magic power would be exhausted. Even if he touched the Fifth Level Spiritual Flame, he would be powerless and unable to refine it.
Just as he was about to leave, he found that all the Soul Devouring Insects were drilling into the valley. In the blink of an eye, they had disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared before.
