The sky gradually darkened, and when the last ray of sunlight disappeared at the end of the sky, the raging black-gold moire insect chao finally had to retreat. The ten trialists did not do much except consume a large amount of recovery elixirs and some spiritual stones.
A big loss, but mental fatigue is certain, but with the temptation of the Magic Star Nut, what does this fatigue mean?
"According to my detection on the Soul Controlling Festival, the nest of the Phantom Star Nut is deep in the Broken Sword Canyon. From here to the destination, we have to pass through three gathering places of monster insects. The black gold moire worm is just the outermost place of the Phantom Star Nut."
swarm of insects, and then there are two demon insect groups, but these two species are also active during the day, so don’t worry about it... What we need to pay attention to is the nest of the Phantom Star Nut, where it has been determined that there is a demon insect, a first-level upper level
Crystal Beetle, as for whether there are other demonic insects, it is not yet certain.”
Nangong Ling glanced at Mo Wen's golden-winged king eagle, and suddenly smiled and said: "Senior brother Mo Qiu, it seems that your demon pet cannot be accepted into the beast's threshold."
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows and saw that she was silent. The space of his beast's threshold was limited. Both the earth dragon beast and the golden-winged king eagle were extremely large monsters, and they could not be accommodated under normal circumstances.
"Little sister, I don't have any other intentions. It's just that your demon pet cannot join this operation. It would be too dangerous to leave it outside. Little sister has a set of ancient 'spiritual seals' here. I wonder if senior brother is interested?"
"What do you want?" Mo Wen asked directly.
"Hehe, senior brother is really straightforward, but my little sister doesn't want much. She only needs three feathers on the forehead of this golden-winged king eagle and three drops of essence."
Mo Wen frowned. What Nangong Ling asked for was the most fundamental thing about the Overlord Eagle. After losing it, his vitality would be greatly damaged. It would probably take a while to recover. However, the "Naling Seal" that Nangong Ling traded did hit his target.
Weakness: As the name suggests, the Naling Seal is a sword seal specially used to capture demon pets. It is the exclusive spiritual seal of the beast master. It can force the demon pet into a dormant state and reduce its size to be included in the beast threshold. Of course, this reduction
It's not really shrinking, it's equivalent to a different kind of space compression.
"Three drops of blood are too much, so I can only give you one drop." After all, the Golden Winged Overlord Eagle was a demon pet that Mo Wen subdued. He had fought side by side so many times, and he must be responsible for it.
Nangong Ling tilted his head: "Just one drop, but give me three more tail feathers."
The "Spirit-Navigating Seal" that Nangong Ling traded to him was very profound, but as long as it belonged to the category of forbidden spirits, it was not a problem in Mo Wen's eyes. He only had to deduce it and mastered it completely. He condensed a Spirit-Navigating Sword Seal with Gengjin sword energy.
It is engraved on the forehead of the Golden-winged Overlord Eagle. As the spiritual seal activates, mysterious forbidden patterns appear on the surface of the Golden-winged Overlord Eagle. Finally, they interweave into a white cocoon of light, shrouding the Overlord Eagle in it.
The size of the light cocoon also shrunk several times sharply, becoming one foot in diameter. Finally, Mo Wen took out the beast threshold and put it into the second layer of the beast threshold.**
After solving the problem of the golden eagle, everyone arrived at the deepest part of Broken Sword Canyon near midnight, and a huge cave entrance appeared in front of them.
Nangong Ling handed out a jade bottle to each of the nine people: "This is the elixir specially prepared for our Soul Control Festival. It has a deep and stimulating smell. Crystal beetles have no eyesight and mainly rely on smell and touch to judge direction. Everyone will use these to determine the direction."
If the medicine is applied to the body, it will affect their judgment."
Mo Fan took the medicine bottle and opened it first and smelled it. A pungent and indescribable smell hit his face, and he almost burst into tears because he was so close.
"Nangong Ling, what is this? It smells too bad."
"You don't have to wipe it off if you think it smells bad." Nangong Ling rolled his eyes.
Several people held their noses and smeared the ointment from the jade bottle on their bodies. Even the women such as Tianhuang Yinghuang frowned and smeared the ointment on their exposed skin. They didn't know what the ointment was made of. It was yellow in color.
After it solidifies into a layer of earthy yellow gel on the body, it is absolutely destructive to the nose. Everyone has to block their sense of smell, otherwise they will be smoked to death first.
Nangong Ling released a pure white spirit rat from his animal threshold. The spirit rat moved quickly and suddenly got into the cave. Its pink nose twitched rapidly, as if it was sure that there was no danger, and it suddenly jumped forward several feet.
, and then continued to twitch his nose.
"Follow me quickly." Nangong Ling hurriedly chased after the white spirit rat. Others did not dare to neglect and walked into the cave one after another.
The diameter of the cave tunnel here is not large, barely one foot, and it is extremely steep. Ten people held light sources and carefully followed behind the white spirit rat. Not long after walking forward, many irregular forks appeared in front of them, but the white
The spirit rat sniffed his nose, then chose a side road and rushed in.
Boom——
A slight tremor suddenly came from the ground, and everyone's expressions couldn't help but change.
"what happened?"
Just when everyone was in shock and doubt, the tremor disappeared, making everyone almost think it was an illusion. Among the ten people, only Mo Wen had a strange face, but he didn't say anything.
The group of people continued to move forward, but strangely they never encountered danger, nor did they see any shadow of monsters.
"Nangong Ling, are you mistaken? Why is there not a single demonic insect here?" Mo Fan said using his spiritual consciousness.
Nangong Ling also had a look of surprise in her eyes. She suddenly squatted on the ground and fiddled with it, and said solemnly: "It's not wrong. You see, this is the feces of a crystal beetle. It is still very fresh. It has been secreted for no more than three hours."
.”
"Then where have all these monster insects gone? Don't tell me that they knew we were coming and specifically made way for us." Mo Fan said with a hint of sarcasm.
"If you are not satisfied, you can quit." Nangong Ling would not give him a good face.
Mo Fan snorted angrily, his eyes flashing fiercely. Nangong Ling ignored him, glanced at the depths of the corridor, and said solemnly: "There may be a low-level incubation room for monster insects ahead, everyone, be careful."
After a while, the entrance to a crypt appeared in front of everyone's eyes, but it was quiet in the crypt. There was nothing unusual, and the silence was a bit strange.
"There's no qi machine inside!"
Everyone carefully explored the cave with their spiritual senses, but they came up with an astonishing result, and they couldn't help but look at each other in shock.
A light and shadow stone was thrown in, and the bright light illuminated the cave space. There was nothing in the cave with a diameter of more than ten feet, except for a layer of yellow mucus on the ground that was similar to amniotic fluid.
Ten people quickly checked the crypt, and there was no trace of any living creature, let alone crystal beetles.
"There is a cave here!" Yi Yan's voice came over.
In a corner of the cave, a deep cave with a diameter of one foot appeared on the ground, and it went vertically downward.
"This soil is all new, just dug out!"
Everyone looked at each other in shock when they saw the new soil beside the big hole.
Nangong Ling threw a light and shadow stone in, and you could see the bright light falling rapidly until it turned into a small star point, and then there was a slight muffled sound.
"This is hundreds of feet deep!"
"Junior sister Nangong, can you let your spirit rat go down to investigate." Shadow Phoenix Ye Xuan said.
Nangong Ling shook his head and pointed at the spirit rat on his shoulder. Only then did everyone realize that this agile little guy seemed to have encountered something terrible at this moment, shrinking his whole body into a ball of fur and shaking like chaff.
It wasn't until Nangong Ling left the cave that it regained its agility. Apparently there was an aura in the cave that made it fearful.
After a short discussion, everyone chose to move on and walked into another passage connected to the crypt. Along the way, they encountered several similar crypts again. Judging from the amniotic fluid mucus in the crypt, they were all once home to monster insects.
In the incubation room, there was no trace of any monster insect eggs, let alone any monster insects. It was as if the world had evaporated.
Half an hour later, everyone appeared in a huge cave with a radius of more than a hundred feet, but the cave was still empty, with only traces of some kind of biological activity remaining on the ground.
"This is the egg-laying chamber of the mother crystal beetle." Nangong Ling took a breath of cold air. This thing is so weird. A group of crystal beetles just disappeared from the world! Who has such great ability? Even in the realm of Jian Yuan
It is impossible for a spiritual swordsman to wipe out a group of crystal beetles so silently without leaving a single corpse behind!
For everything that happened here, only Mo Wenwen himself knew clearly, because before they entered the cave, a foodie had already visited the crystal beetle's burrow. These earth-type monster insects were a complete tragedy in front of the earth dragon beast, and they could only make food.
In less than half an hour, thousands of crystal beetles were swept away by the Earth Dragon Beast and swallowed into its stomach.
At this moment, this foodie is hiding somewhere thousands of feet deep underground, digesting food comfortably.
If Mo Wen didn't explain it, others would be unable to figure out the problem even if they tried hard. In the end, they could only treat it as an unsolved case. Anyway, the world of Spirit Sword Masters is vast and rich, and all kinds of incredible things are possible.
Behind the egg-laying chamber of the female worm, there was also a connected passage, and everyone crossed the crypt and continued deeper.
About a quarter of an hour later, the white spirit rat exploring the road suddenly had its hair standing on end. It screamed and fled back, slithering into Nangong Ling's arms. Then a dense rustling sound came from the depths of the corridor.
come over.
Nangong Ling's face changed slightly, and he threw a light and shadow stone out, landing hundreds of feet away. Others, including Mo Wen, also shot out a light and shadow stone, which soon completely illuminated the distance of about a hundred feet in front, and only one person could be seen.
A layer of golden water emerged from the darkness and rushed over against the cave wall.
"Gold-eating ants!" Nangong Ling screamed, with a hint of fear and fear.
The golden sechao water in front of you is composed of large golden ants. These ants are huge in size. The smallest ones are more than ten centimeters, and most are around twenty or thirty centimeters. Their mouthparts are sharp teeth that shine with cold light.
, the whole body is like cast gold, one by one connected together, gathering into a golden chao water.dd
