The dead sleeping cicada is a very special spiritual insect.
It is said that they have almost infinite life span.
Every time his life span is exhausted or he suffers some fatal injury and almost dies, he will form a cicada cocoon and fall into a death sleep.
And each time of death sleep is extremely long, it could be decades, hundreds, thousands or even ten thousand years.
Of course, these are all descriptions on the "Celestial Insect Spectrum", and whether the Sleeping Cicada really has such an almost infinite lifespan remains to be discussed.
After all, no one has such a long life to conduct research and give the real answer.
But there is no doubt that it has managed to survive precisely because of its special characteristics.
Before the smashed Yun He hit the ground, he felt another huge force coming from behind him. He was suddenly startled and could only barely gather his magic power, and formed a golden scale shadow behind him.
boom! !
After being thrown away again and feeling the cramping pain in his body, Yun He calmed down.
Even if he didn't know what kind of spiritual insect the insect was, he would still be panicked and at a loss. But when he understood that the dead wood-like cicada was the Sleeping Cicada, he was no longer so panicked.
As Yun He thought, his consciousness unfolded.
The dead sleeping cicada cannot be caught with the naked eye, but the spiritual consciousness can still barely do it.
Buzz buzz——
At the same time, under his control, a swarm of red-ringed golden-spotted wasps hovered in the air and turned into a huge hand, catching him who was still in the air and unable to control his body.
next moment.
The palms transformed from the red-ringed golden-spotted bees quickly gathered together, clenched into fists, and wrapped him up.
A dense swarm of red-ringed golden-spotted bees surrounded the place without leaving any gaps.
'really. '
This Deathly Sleeping Cicada must have been given some sort of order to attack only the monks near this medicine field, not the spiritual insects.
Otherwise, there were so many red-ringed golden-spotted wasps that would not attack, but would focus on him alone.
If your guess is wrong, then you can only use the "Earth Escape Technique" to hide underground and think of a solution.
Looking at the dead sleeping cicada that was suspended in mid-air, constantly vibrating with its withered yellow wings, and its figure was erratic and almost impossible to lock on, Yun He's eyes flickered as he got a chance to breathe.
'Experiencing death sleep twice? '
On the cicada's abdomen, which is as shriveled as a dead branch, there are two circles of shallow lines, indicating that the cicada has experienced death sleep twice.
The strength of the death-sleeping cicada depends on the number of times of death-sleeping.
Every time it sleeps in death, it is not only a long sleep, but also a transformation from the inside out. Having died in sleep twice means that it has a strength comparable to that of a second-level monster.
There was definitely not only such a protection in the original medicine field, but obviously the rest of the spiritual insects or monsters had turned into a pile of loess over the long years, and only the cicada was still alive.
'The speed is even close to catching up with the alchemy monks, but the lethality is lacking in comparison. '
After thinking about it, Yun He took out a pair of Wu hook-like spiritual weapons from the storage bracelet. They were found in the storage bags of the two beheaded demon cultivators. They were barely low-grade spiritual weapons.
Originally, he was thinking of finding an opportunity to exchange for some spiritual stones in the future, but now...
After simply sacrificing the pair of Wu Hooks, throw them out of the swarm.
The Sleeping Cicada seemed to have found its target again after seeing Wu Gou, especially after feeling the mana on Wu Gou.
He immediately launched an attack on Wu Gou.
The sound of "ding ding" is endless.
Although the pair of Wu hooks were indeed not very good in Yunhe's opinion, the material was still good, but under the attack of the Death Sleeping Cicada, they quickly became mutilated and became shaky and uncontrollable.
snap——
In just a moment, a pair of low-grade spiritual weapons were turned into scrap metal.
Yun He, who witnessed the whole process, narrowed his eyes.
Take out a pair of scythes again and throw out the swarm.
Just like the Wu Gou before, this pair of scythes, which could barely compete with mid-grade spiritual weapons when used properly, also became dilapidated under the extremely fast continuous attacks of the Death Sleeping Cicada.
after.
Yun He threw out two more useless spiritual weapons for him, both of which were gradually damaged by the Death Sleeping Cicada's extremely fast attacks.
But accordingly.
The speed of the Deathly Sleeping Cicada finally slowed down, and the damage efficiency caused to spiritual weapons was also reduced a lot.
Ding--
It was not until the Death Sleeping Cicada shot down a ring-shaped spiritual weapon that the originally erratic figure disappeared and stopped steadily in mid-air, seemingly exhausted.
Upon seeing this, Yun He put away the middle-grade spiritual stone in his hand, waved his hand, and walked out of the swarm.
Just as he expected, although this Death Sleeping Cicada was extremely fast, the shortcomings of the spiritual insect's lack of intelligence were also very obvious. Without the command of a monk, it was really difficult to display its own strength. If he was willing to do so, Even though he spent a lot of money, his spiritual power was still exhausted.
Even if the spiritual energy here is normal, its recovery speed cannot keep up with the consumption, not to mention that the spiritual energy here is extremely difficult to absorb.
Looking at Yun He walking out with a smile on his face, the Sleeping Cicada instinctively felt the crisis, but before it could make any move, it was surrounded by a swarm of red-ringed golden-spotted wasps.
For a moment, it looked at the swarm of bees around it at a loss, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
'If it is left half disabled at this time, will it immediately enter the third death sleep? '
An idea suddenly popped into Yun He's mind.
But he quickly shook his head.
'The Sleeping Cicada is just because no one has ever seen it die of old age, but that doesn't mean it is truly immortal. '
According to the "Celestial Insect Spectrum".
After each death sleep of the death sleep cicada, the body will be as withered and yellow as rotten wood as it is now, but as time goes by, its body will slowly regain its plumpness until it is finally round and emerald green.
Only when it reaches that state can the energy accumulated in its body be enough to support it in a long death sleep.
After all, death sleep is just a way of evolution of this spiritual insect, but it is more unique.
Now that the Deathly Sleeping Cicada was completely honest, Yun He looked through the gaps between the swarms and landed on it.
At the same time, Death Sleeping Cicada's gaze seemed to fall on Yun He.
One person and one cicada looked at each other.
But Yun He was suddenly in a daze for a moment.
When he came back to his senses, surprise appeared in his eyes.
'Illusion?' Why did I just read in its eyes a sense of seeing through life and death, seeing through the world of mortals, seeing life and death without life and death? '
Buddha nature?
The moment just now.
He felt that he was not facing a spiritual insect, but an accomplished monk.
This subconscious feeling made Yunhe himself find it funny.
But he failed to laugh.
Because he noticed that the withered yellow compound eyes of this dead cicada seemed to contain spiritual light, and it seemed to be golden light.
This is inconsistent with the description of the dead sleeper cicada in the "Celestial Insect Species".
The "Celestial Insect Spectrum" says that this insect is a natural heterogeneous species but has a simple intelligence. Because of its death sleep characteristics, although it is special, it does not have much cultivation value.
After taking another deep look at Yun He, it seemed to be relieved that its mission had been completed.
The wizened body slowly curled up, stopped vibrating its wings, and turned into a dead branch, falling from the air.
After a brief hesitation, Yun He used the "Levitation Technique" to catch it.
After confirming that it really seemed to be in a coma and not moving, Yunhe put it into the spirit insect bag and would study it later when he had time.
Not to mention anything else, based on its speed alone, as long as it is subdued by sacrifice, it can at least be a surprise killing move against the enemy.
Spirit insects controlled by monks and those without monks play completely different roles.
He rubbed his brows.
The look in Death Sleeping Cicada's eyes just now made him unable to let go of it for a long time.
'I was surprised by a cicada. '
He smiled to himself, reluctantly suppressed the strange feeling, and focused on the big tree not far away.
Come closer.
The light sandalwood fragrance that filled the air made him feel refreshed again.
Walked around the tree.
A fallen leaf slowly fell from the tree. After Yun He hesitated for a while, he reached out to help.
Unexpected.
He seemed to realize something, and he let go of the fallen leaves and pulled out a jade slip from the storage bracelet.
It was the jade slip written by "Sheng Banzi" that Hua Xin had given him. He found the "Sacred Tree List" from it. After skipping the top "Five Sacred Trees", he quickly found the one that could match the one in front of him. The content corresponding to the tree.
After a while.
Yun He slowly put down the jade slip and looked at the tree in front of him with a slightly different look.
He murmured: "The tree of enlightenment, the bodhi tree."
This tree is actually a bodhi tree!
Finally, his eyes rested on the dark red fruit that looked like an eye, and there was surprise in his eyes.
"In other words, this is Bodhisattva?!"
At this moment, Yunhe was very lucky that he did not pick the fruit rashly.
Take a deep breath.
I suppressed my excitement.
He took out a wooden knife from the storage bracelet and carefully cut off the fruit along with half of the rhizome without using any magic power.
It fell into the wooden box prepared in advance.
Crash--
As soon as the fruit was picked.
The entire Bodhi tree shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Finally, under Yun He's gaze, it turned into bits of withered yellow wood chips, which dissipated without a trace in the breeze.
After the fruit in the wooden box shimmered, the luster on it was restrained and dim, and three knot-like lines appeared, as if they were wrapped around something.
"Three Kalpa Bodhisattvas"
Yun He murmured.
According to the "Holy Tree List", Bodhisattva has the highest nine calamities, and is a spiritual creature in heaven and earth that cannot be encountered or sought. So far, no one has encountered nine calamities Bodhisattva in the world of immortality.
Even the theory of the Nine Tribulations is a "winner than half" guess.
But for Yun He, not to mention nine, six, three, or even one calamity is a rare treasure.
"Bodhi Seed" is a rare "enlightenment object". It is said that it can greatly increase a monk's understanding. If someone knows that he is pregnant with the "Three Tribulations Bodhi Seed", maybe some monks in the later stage of elixir formation will have it. Possibly murderous.
If it were the "Six-Calamity Bodhisattva", those old monsters of the Nascent Soul who could not come out of the world might also be unable to hold back.
Attach a sealing talisman to completely seal the wooden box.
"This Heavenly Insect Sect is indeed the former Nascent Soul Sect. Even after thousands of years of erosion, it is still a treasure."
"Well, apart from being unable to absorb the spiritual energy, I don't know how to get out yet."
Yun He sighed and carefully put away the wooden box.
After the Bodhi tree disappeared, the dead cicada's slough also fell to the ground.
Looking at the cicada, Yun He was slightly lost in thought.
'If... if there were no dead cicadas clinging to them to absorb nutrients, would the Bodhi seeds produced last for six or even nine calamities? '
But then I thought about it.
How do death-sleeping cicadas absorb nutrients when they enter death sleep?
In line with the principle of not wasting it, the cicada sloughs of the dead sleeping cicadas were also collected.
"Next"
He closed his eyes and thought for a moment.
"In addition to the main hall, there are also the Treasure Building and the Kung Fu Building that you should also visit."
Wei Ming's emphasis on marking saved him a lot of time in searching.
boom! ! !
Just when Yun He was about to leave.
A huge roar startled him.
He even felt the ground beneath his feet shaking slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a surging aura of decay suddenly spread from the direction of the main hall.
The sky, which was originally hazy and illusory, was now cast a layer of gray.
Seeing the rising darkness, Yun He's expression froze and the corners of his eyes twitched.
'Why do you feel like you have nothing to do with those damn things like death energy, Yin energy, and ghost energy? '
Rumble——
The vibration appeared again, but this time it came not from the main hall in the distance, but from the ground beneath his feet.
The next second.
The ground breaks.
Only white bones were left on one end, and a skeleton with the outline of a wolf-like demonic beast could be barely seen crawling out of the soil. In the eye sockets of the skull, gray-white flames flickered on and off.
Subsequently.
More ground became loose, and skeletons, shells, and even creatures that were too dilapidated to even stand and had been dead for who knows how many years emerged one by one.
If you look carefully, you can find that on these skeletons and shells, there is an insect smaller than a hair, faintly exuding a rotten atmosphere, blending with the polluted spiritual energy around it.
to be honest.
This sudden change made Yunhe not only feel creepy, but also feel frightened.
Because his spiritual sense told him.
Every corpse that came out didn't look very strong, but they were vaguely threatening to him!
