After being unable to find their way home, the ancient strange insects moved around in the ruins, settling in no fixed place.
Due to their structural problems, it is difficult to survive in an area full of hot fire aura. It also causes the companions of their own group to die continuously, and the newly born larvae also die one after another. Finally, with great difficulty, the strange insects found the nameless canyon and settled here.
Come down.
In the following years, the life of ancient strange insects was dull and boring, but also very safe. They lived in the underground environment, away from natural enemies that might harm them, so that the insects could enjoy a long life.
However, the biggest enemy is... time. Even the most long-lived creatures will come to an end. No one knows how many years have passed before the last strange insect finally died.
And this tomb of strange insects was formed. Regarding the placement after death, the ancient strange insects also considered very carefully. A large part of them derived soul bodies, using their remaining bones and accumulated over the years to
The insect sloughed out and created a "requiem stone".
This requiem stone can continuously absorb underground spiritual energy to nourish the insect souls and ensure that they can continue to survive in the world in another form. However, this stable situation cannot continue recently.
The reason is that due to the continuous vibration of the crust inside the ruins in recent years, immeasurable crises have occurred, and the requiem stone has also been greatly affected. As a result, the spiritual energy that can be absorbed is getting less and less, almost to the point where it can no longer maintain the concentration of insect souls.
state.
It happened that at this time, Guan Heng and the others appeared. Because Guan Heng's pure spiritual energy gave the insect souls hope, they appeared boldly and begged Guan Heng for some spiritual energy to tide them over.
"I see. I understand the general situation."
Guan Heng nodded, and then said: "This requiem stone itself has nothing to do with it. It just lacks the power to continue absorbing spiritual energy. That is because the speed of absorbing spiritual energy underground is not too fast. Now it is
After years of use, it will inevitably become sluggish.”
"Let's do this..." After thinking for a moment, Guan Heng said: "I will arrange a Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array directly under the requiem stone to make it operate automatically to speed up the requiem stone's absorption of spiritual energy."
Hearing this, the insect souls were very happy and said one after another: "Thank you... thank you..."
"You're welcome, who asked you to come here to beg me?" Guan Heng shrugged, and then said with a smile: "If you want to thank me, let the girls pick out a few colorful insect sloughs and play with them."
"Of course, we have promised you that you can take the insect sloughs as you like." The big insect soul headed by the leader added: "In addition, we also have some things brought from the original place of residence. If you are interested, you can also take them all.
Walk."
"Where did you originally live?"
Hearing this, Guan Heng was thoughtful, and then said: "Okay, let's talk about these things later. Qinghuang, princess, don't you like the colorful insect slough? Go and choose it yourself, I'll take care of it here first.
The Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array to assist the Requiem Stone is ready."
"Well, then you should be busy." Qinghuang and the others said, they got off the high platform and ran towards the sloughing insects, picking and choosing, talking and laughing.
On the other side, Zhu Xin Gu Xian, Star Demon Blood Elf, Hao Beast Soul, and several spirit fire bodies were surrounding Guan Heng to see how he would arrange the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formation.
After a while, Guan Heng finished his busy work, and the big insect soul said: "Master Guan, please follow me to the place where my clan's treasures are stored."
"Okay, I'll go and have a look with you." Guan Heng nodded and agreed, followed each other with the ancient blood wolf and the Hao Xi, and came to the other side of the high platform. There was a huge cave there. After walking in, everyone
I saw a lot of stuff stored here.
They included the solid remains of many strange insects and various treasures that they had collected over the years. However, Guan Heng lacked interest in those things and only glanced around them roughly.
"There is nothing valuable here." When this thought came to Guan Heng's mind, Hao Xi next to him suddenly whispered: "Master Guan, come here and take a look at this!"
"What?"
Hearing the tone of the other party, he was very surprised. Guan Heng immediately walked over. Hao Xi took out something from a pile of things and handed it to him. Guan Heng brushed off the loose soil on it and looked at it carefully. He was also a little surprised: "
It’s actually a topographic map of stone rubbings inside the mysterious gate?!”
"And there are more than one, look here." At the same time, Xue Ni also picked out two stone rubbings from the pile of things, and Zhu Xingu next to him whispered: "This way there are three parts.
"
Holding these three stone rubbings in his hand, Guan Heng did not speak for a few breaths, but then he spoke: "The most important detail, I'm afraid even you haven't noticed, is that these three parts are
Connected, they are a small piece of the complete map!”
"What?" Hearing this, the three beast souls were all surprised. Gu Xun said: "The maps we obtained from several old monsters deep in the ruins before were all maps that could not be pieced together and connected. Why can't the ones preserved by the strange insects fail?
Is it the same?"
"Then you have to ask them." After saying that, Guan Heng turned to ask the big insect soul: "How come you have these stone rubbing topographic maps?"
"Uh, are these stone flakes? Let me think about it... because too much time has passed, my memory is a little blurry."
It wasn't until a few breaths later that the big insect soul said: "These stone rubbings are what we brought from our original place of residence!"
"Then where you originally lived was the area inside the mysterious gate?"
"Mysterious door?"
Hearing what Guan Heng said, the insect souls seemed a little confused. After that, the big insect soul said: "I don't know what the mysterious gate you are talking about, but as for the situation in the previous living area, we all heard that the first generation migrated to
The ancestors here didn’t quite understand what they said.”
"Well, I understand." Guan Heng nodded and said: "Although I can't get more information from you, it is already a great gain to get these three stone rubbings that can be connected and pieced together.
,Thank you."
"No, we should be the ones to say thank you." Big Insect Soul said: "Not only did you help us leave the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array, but you also told us where our birthplace was that we never knew much about. This is an accident.
surprise."
"Then, I took the stone rubbings."
"Okay, please help yourself." The big insect soul said: "Besides, I have a small request. I wonder if you can agree to it?"
"Okay, tell me."
"It's like this. Many of the insect souls here have the desire to return to their homeland and see the birthplace of their ancestors."
The big insect soul said: "But even when they died, they failed to do so because we prepared a section of the 'Insect Soul Spirit Bone', which retained a trace of our soul and body."
