"Huhu——"
On Yuanzhou Mountain, in front of the cave leading to the underground spiritual veins, the Qingyun Sect disciples who came with Lin Chen lay exhausted on the ground, constantly taking pills to restore their body's consumption.
Around them, ant corpses were everywhere, covering the ground in a thick layer, like snow, and the number was even more uncountable.
"This spirit insect is really terrifying. If we hadn't beaten it half way through, they didn't know why they resisted it and fell into madness. I'm afraid that instead of being able to destroy them, we would have been killed instead..."
The leader of the cultivators in the field, the inner disciple of the Qingyun Sect, looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh with lingering fear.
"I wonder if the young elder who went in can deal with the mother insect..."
"Has everything been dealt with here?" Just as he was thinking, a voice suddenly came from behind him, startling him.
The inner disciple of the Qingyun Sect hurriedly turned his head and saw Lin Chen appearing behind them at some unknown moment.
The other party didn't seem to be injured, and on the shoulder, there was a white and fat spiritual insect with a mouth and no teeth, and it exuded a vague sense of coercion.
That's the insect mother?
Everyone was shocked when they saw this. Even though they had some suspicions, they were still quite shocked when they saw this scene. They stood up and saluted quickly: "Greetings to the elder!"
"Yes." Lin Chen nodded, looked around the scene, pondered for a moment, and said, "Go and find out the news about the nearby immortal cultivating forces, especially the blood cultivating killings, and see if there is anything unusual. place."
"Ah?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and couldn't help but look at each other.
According to the traces traced along the way, the monks sent by the Qingyun Sect in Ruyuefang City to collect spiritual objects from various places were not the hands of these alien insects.
And now that the Mother of Spiritual Insects has been enslaved, hasn't the matter been resolved?
'Is it possible that the elder wants to clear his name for his spiritual beast, but there is no need for it? '
Everyone was confused, but Lin Chen didn't explain anything. They could only suppress the confusion in their hearts and nod as usual.
When Lin Chen saw this scene, he nodded slightly, stretched out his hand, and left Qingyun Feizhou and several second-level talismans he drew: "I'll go back first, and you guys go check out the news. If anything happens, come back and report to me."
"yes!"
Seeing this, Lin Chen flew directly into the sky and flew back to Fangshi.
When he flew high in the sky, he looked back at Yuanzhou Mountain below, his eyes twinkling.
He originally thought that the Qingyun Sect disciples were attacked by demonic cultivators, but after seeing the Insect Mother, he dismissed this idea.
But what he didn't expect was when he was having a soul duel with the insect mother.
While the insect mother was being tortured by the mathematics in his mind, he also stole part of the other party's memory and discovered that his initial guess might not be wrong.
From the fragmented memories, Lin Chen roughly spelled out what happened.
This swarm of insects was originally just the clan-protecting spiritual insects of the Bai family. Although it had all kinds of strange features, it had not yet evolved to the point where it could become a rare and exotic beast with terrifying potential like the earthly worms.
But just a few days ago, something unexpected happened to the Bai family. There seemed to be civil strife and strange fratricide.
Hundreds of monks in the Bai family were all killed, and even a large number of clan-protecting spiritual insects were devoured.
Later, the instigator seemed to have taken a fancy to the role of the predecessor of the world, and wanted to cultivate a group of minions who could detect, kill, and protect themselves, so he took action against the insect mother.
But in the end, it seemed that there was something wrong with the practice of magic skills, coupled with the instinctive resistance of the insect mother. Instead of being able to refine the slave insect mother, her wisdom was stolen by the other party in the overlapping of souls.
So the insect mother possessed wisdom, and began to continuously devour resources, mutate and evolve, and finally evolved into a rare earthworm in the world.
Of course, its evolution is due to the wisdom of the insect mother, which changed natural selection to artificial selection, but there is one thing that may be the key factor in its evolution.
This thing was the very strange yet familiar area to Lin Chen in the insect mother's last memory - the blood pool!
"So, behind this spiritual insect rebellion, it is actually the work of monks who practiced the blood demon technique, which caused a drastic change in their mind?"
…
Sure enough, a few days later, in Ruyuefang City, in an attic room.
Lin Chen looked at a blood-stained book in his hand, threw it on the desk, and looked at the reporter in front of him: "Sure enough, something went wrong. Let's talk about the current situation."
At this moment, in the room, Zhang Hao, Xu Mengyun, Liu Qiqiang, and even himself, four foundation-building monks, were all gathered here.
After all, it involves the demon cultivator, the enemy of life and death, and it is impossible for others to really stay out of the matter.
In front of them was a middle-aged monk who was responsible for reporting the collected intelligence.
"Report to the elders." The middle-aged monk bowed and saluted, "We sent people to investigate the major forces in the area near Fang City, and we all found that this kind of magic power is spreading in a wide range."
"I didn't expect that there was actually magic power spreading?" Liu Qiqiang couldn't help but frowned.
"Now that we are fighting on the front line, a large number of disciples of our sect who were originally responsible for patrolling and monitoring the area have been sent to the front line. As a result, our control over this area has been reduced. It is not surprising that the demon cultivators took advantage of the situation." Zhang Haochen. vocal channel.
"Not only that, if we look at the original situation, if Ruyuefang City is destroyed and evil creatures with human heads are rampant, and most of the Qingyun Sect's attention is focused on this, I am afraid that the spread of this demonic technique will also be ignored." Xu Mengyun pondered. After a moment, he added.
"We have noticed the anomaly now, can't we stop it?" Liu Qiqiang said.
After hearing these words, several people looked at the middle-aged monk, but the latter was silent for a moment and said: "This... I'm afraid it's difficult. According to the existing intelligence, we can't prevent the spread of this kind of magic technique. "
"Huh?" Xu Mengyun asked puzzledly, "Why is this?"
"Because this kind of skill can quickly improve your cultivation level and help people break through the foundation building!" Lin Chen looked at Zhang Hao, raised the blood-stained skill on the table, and answered what he said next.
"For example, in this book [The Great Method of Refining Blood and Returning to Spirit], the advanced method is [The Method of Building Foundation with Spiritual Blood], which can replace the function of Foundation Establishment Pill to a certain extent and help people advance to Foundation Establishment!"
"What?!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Xu Mengyun and others changed.
Although they are all foundation-building monks, their talents are not good. They were promoted through various means. Naturally, they know the difficulties involved and understand the value of this kind of skills!
"Junior brother, is this true..." Xu Mengyun couldn't help but ask.
But before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Lin Chen: "This technique is naturally real, but there are also many hidden dangers in it. It is very likely that the practitioner's mind will be greatly changed as a result, and even be manipulated by others. It is better not to It’s better to know more.”
"I agree with senior brother." Lin Chen's words made Zhang Hao recall something, and his face became a little ugly.
If he hadn't met Shu Lao by chance at the place where the Transformation God fell, and noticed the hidden dangers in the technique and modified it so that he could benefit from it, and quickly passed the foundation-building and shape-refining stage, I'm afraid that he would most likely become A puppet controlled by a demon cultivator.
However, he was lucky enough to meet Shu Lao, but the same could not be said for other monks.
Not to mention, promotion to foundation building, extraordinary strength, and two hundred years of immortality are irresistible temptations for any monk.
Therefore, even if there are many hidden dangers, I am afraid that there will definitely not be a few people who want to start practicing and are lucky!
"And I suspect that this type of magic technique has been secretly spreading as early as thirty years ago..." Lin Chen continued.
"What is spreading and causing trouble now is most likely just some chess pieces thrown out for testing. Once we realize that we can't allocate excess manpower, I'm afraid it will be chaos..."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the foundation-building monks in the scene darkened.
The pressure on the front is already great enough. If there is further chaos in the rear, I'm afraid the whole situation will be in trouble...
Everyone was silent for a while, and finally Xu Mengyun asked: "Junior brother, what do you think we should do now?"
Lin Chen glanced at him and replied: "The situation is getting more and more chaotic now, and the demon cultivator's back plan is confusing."
"In fact, I personally prefer to abandon the so-called frontline defense, retain all available forces, and retreat to the Qingyun Sect's mountain gate headquarters to avoid being defeated one by one..."
At this time, both Lin Chen who was talking and the other three people who were listening couldn't help but paused, and their expressions suddenly became solemn.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Chen said to the middle-aged monk: "Step back first."
The middle-aged monk was stunned when he heard this, but looking at the faces of several people, he did not dare to say anything and quickly retreated.
As soon as he went out, Lin Chen and others took out the spiritual leaves that symbolized the identity of the elders of Qingyun Sect from their storage rings.
At this moment, it is emitting bright spiritual energy, even forming a green light that ripples like water waves!
Looking at this scene, both Lin Chen and the other three people had uncertain expressions on their faces, either happy, surprised, or thinking.
The reason why the expression is uncertain is because these phenomena represent the message summons from the Jindan Masters of the Qingyun Sect!
