"Fellow Taoist, save me."
Just when Ru Chunyuan was about to start dinner, a handsome man with excellent appearance fell at the gate of Xia Yu City. He raised his hand with a weak and trembling face, and reached out to the hurried pedestrians on the street to ask for help.
But because he was so handsome, and the clothes he wore looked expensive, one could tell at a glance that the man in front of him was either from a noble family, or he was a young man with some background or power behind him.
On the first floor outside Xiayu City, the people living there were basically ordinary people begging for food in the big city. Everyone did not dare to contact men at will, for fear of getting involved in trouble.
No one paid attention to his request. Even after the man asked for help, they all walked around him.
The guard guarding the city gate to collect the caravan's entrance fee glanced at the man, sighed slightly, and was about to step forward to help him up, when a surprised female voice came from the city gate:
"You seem to be the eldest son of the Dongchong family, right? Why are you lying down at the gate of Xia Yu City?"
Hong Ling, who had just come from the Xia Yu border, looked at the weak man lying on the ground and said with a strange expression on her face.
"Senior Mosquito, please help me."
After the man saw Hong Ling, he shed tears as if he were seeing a relative: "I was appointed by my elders to come to Xia Yu to give a gift to Senior Chong. Just when I was about to arrive at the main city of Xia Yu, I was attacked by a female Chong. Attack."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu"
As he said this, Dong Chong cried with embarrassment on his face.
Winter Insects are a unique type of insect monsters in the Zerg tribe. They have outstanding looks and wonderful singing voices. They are also one of the rare vegetarian monsters. Winter Insects are quite popular among some girls in the human world.
But the appearance and singing voice belong to the curse of winter insects, because when male winter insects reproduce, no matter what ethnic group they are combined with, the blood of the children born in the future will definitely and will only follow the mother's blood.
The male seems to be participating in the whole process of reproduction, without any sense of presence at all.
If this were the case, handsome men would not be attacked by female insects.
There are actually many races or items with such characteristics in the world of cultivation. The Daughter Kingdom is famous for being able to reproduce parthenogenetically in river water. However, another characteristic of winter insects turns their advantages into a curse.
If the demon clan wants to reproduce, the female beast not only needs to spend a lot of time, but also needs to spend a lot of cultivation. It is a very thankless task, but when the winter insect clan reproduces offspring, it is the male insect that pays the price.
At the moment when the winter insect reproduces, all the spiritual energy reserves of the male winter insect will flow into the abdomen of the female insect to support the development and growth of the fetus. This characteristic is also applicable when breeding with other groups.
The man who came to give a gift to his aunt originally had the cultivation of a strong man in the transformation stage, but after being attacked by a female insect, his cultivation directly degraded to the golden elixir stage. It took several years of cultivation to recover.
In a physical sense, the squeezed adult worm is dried.
………………
After Hong Ling listened to Dong Chong's story, a strange expression appeared on her cheeks.
It seems like I have seen such a plot somewhere. The winter insect I picked up last time seems to be this boy's father. He is also lying on the ground with a painful look on his face, and he reaches out to passers-by for help with a look of weakness on his face.
But his father was luckier, because he was attacked in the summer and did not need to lie on the cold floor.
After picking up the winter bug, Hong Lingti carried the man and flew directly to her aunt's hook fence, and told her everything about the encounter with the winter bug.
"Could it be the Queen Bee?"
After listening to Hong Ling's explanation, Su Yan, who didn't know the characteristics of winter insects, looked at the handsome man who had been squeezed into coma with a look of shock on his face, a little worried.
"It can't be the queen bee."
The aunt raised her hand to control the elixir to fly into the mouth of the winter insect, shook her head and said: "It should be an Earth Immortal-level insect demon, otherwise it would not be so seriously damaged. His current cultivation level is directly overdrawn to the point where he has fallen back to the golden elixir stage. Without It won’t take a few years to return to its original level.”
Su Yan swallowed after hearing this and looked up at Jin Nanwu who was holding him while watching the show, feeling fear in his heart.
"?"
Nanwu asked with confusion on his face. He didn't know why the fox in his arms suddenly trembled, and then looked up at him with a scared expression on his face.
"Don't worry, you two will be fine if you mess around. The reason why the Winter Insects' cultivation level dropped is because of the racial characteristics. When the Winter Insects reproduce, it is the male insects that pay the spiritual energy."
The aunt frowned and pondered for a long time, and then gave an explanation that non-monsters could understand: "To put it simply, if winter insects want to reproduce male insects, they need to give female insects nutrition fees, as well as fetal maintenance fees. However, this one is more unlucky. I fell in love with a rich woman, so I gave her all my savings and then borrowed a lamb debt."
Lamb Debt Lamb Debt, who borrows lamb, is the highest interest rate borrowing method among Xia Yu.
The monthly interest rate is about 13%.
After the aunt explained this, the talented girl and Su Yan finally understood what happened.
Su Yan couldn't help but show pity. He originally thought that the Spirit Monkey Clan was already miserable enough, but he never expected that there would be such a miserable Zerg Clan in the world of cultivation.
"Winter insects are a good thing"
Huayu, who had not spoken for a long time, muttered: "The Wanhua Valley has previously issued a reward for Wanhua Pavilions all over the world to search for traces of the Winter Insect Tribe. As long as the information is confirmed to be correct, the client is willing to pay one million spiritual stones as a reward."
"We at Wanhua Pavilion often receive such requests from the demon clan."
The ability of the winter insect is so special that it allows the female beast to give birth to a perfect offspring that follows its own racial characteristics without paying any price. Some monsters who have no intention of getting married will entrust various assassin organizations to find the winter insect. The whereabouts of the Zerg clan.
The demon clan that can issue such a commission are all, without exception, some powerful demon clans with noble blood.
Huayu specifically pointed out something that no one had said. She was obviously asking her aunt if she wanted to install a Gu locator on this kid to harvest the welfare of the winter bugs every once in a while.
"There are things you can do and things you can't do."
The aunt looked at Hua Yu with a solemn face and said solemnly: "Jiao Chong relies on the word righteousness to gain a foothold in the world!"
Righteousness, righteousness, and principles beneficial to the public.
Bandits also have bandit rules, and they attach great importance to such rules. For a group like Jiao Chong who made their fortune by robbing wealthy businessmen, if they did not abide by the rules set by their ancestors, the family would have been in chaos.
A winter insect who can pay tribute is a younger brother, although he can make more money without a conscience!
But my aunt doesn’t like to make such bad money!
Master Hua Yu raised his hands and waved them quickly, indicating that he said something wrong and would not mention those things again.
"If there's nothing else, just get ready for dinner! The little fox should finish his meal early and have to compete in the ring tomorrow morning!"
After the aunt warned Hua Yu, she invited everyone to sit down and continue eating.
"By the way, Nan Wu, go to Goulan's backyard and take a look at those old trees. If I'm not wrong, those monkeys must have brewed monkey wine secretly. Go get it!"
As soon as the aunt finished speaking, Linghou, who was wearing a chef's apron and carrying cold dishes, showed an expression of disbelief and shock. He looked at his aunt and Nanwu who responded blankly with a look of horror.
"Squeak!"
I'm drunk!
I'll do two updates for now. I can't stand it any longer. I'm having vomiting and diarrhea. I'll go out and get some salt water later, and I'll continue updating after I wake up.
