But since Ding Sheng had decided, Yun Zhongtian naturally did not dare to say anything. However, he remembered something and couldn't help but said: "Master, now that the two elders have been deposed, the Five Elements Formation may not be preserved."
"Huh?" After hearing this, Ding Sheng couldn't help but wonder, "Why is this?"
Knowing that Ding Sheng was not very clear about the matter, Yun Zhongtian told the whole story.
It turns out that the Five Elements Formation relies on the Five Elements Spiritual Stones to be deployed. There are a large number of Five Elements Spiritual Stones in the Tianyuan Mountains, and they form a large mineral vein. However, there is a strange creature living in the mineral veins, and that is the Five Elements Spiritual Stone.
Spirit insect.
This kind of bug feeds on the Five Elements Spirit Stone, and its attack power is not strong. Even a martial artist can kill it. However, there are so many bugs, and the two elders have to use their spiritual consciousness to eliminate them for many years. Only then can they save the Five Elements Spirit.
Fine stone mine.
However, bugs are like ants, with a mother body. As long as the mother body is not destroyed, bugs will continue to grow. And the mother body is deep at the bottom of the mineral vein, and even the two elders cannot detect it.
Therefore, we can only sit in the Lingxiao Pavilion and continuously kill the new bugs every day to maintain the operation of the Five Elements Formation.
The foundation of Tianyuan Sect is the Five Elements Formation. If the formation stops functioning due to the lack of spirit stones, then Tianyuan Sect will undoubtedly lose its status as the largest sect.
It was precisely because of this that the two elders did not pursue Ding Sheng, which allowed Ding Sheng to escape the disaster.
Hearing this, Ding Sheng's thoughts couldn't help but expand. When he went more than 300 feet underground, Ding Sheng "saw" the five-element spirit insect mentioned by Yun Zhongtian. This kind of insect was only about the size of the palm of his hand and covered his body.
It appears translucent, like a worm, but its appearance is covered with a layer of colorful leather armor.
The leather armor was extremely smooth, and traces of mucus were constantly exuding. When the mucus dripped on the spirit stone, it made bursts of squeaking sounds, and steam continued to rise. The ore was also softened into a pool of mucus, and the insects clung to it.
Absorb this mucus from the ground.
This is just as Yun Zhongtian said, the insects are indeed eating away at the ore. If things go on like this, the ore veins will be eaten up. After all, these insects are extremely numerous and densely distributed on the ore veins.
In this case, Ding Sheng naturally couldn't let these insects destroy the mineral veins wantonly, so he nodded to Yun Zhongtian and said: "Well, let's do this, you stay here and don't let anyone in, I'll go down right now
Kill the mother body."
After saying that, without waiting for Yun Zhongtian's reply, Ding Sheng stood up and slashed the black flame sword to the ground in an instant.
Hiss!~~~
The Black Flame Knife brought up waves of Sumeru space, constantly destroying the ground. In less than a moment, a deep crack was cut into the ground, which was ten feet wide and more than a hundred feet deep.
Seeing such power, Yun Zhongtian couldn't help but widen his eyes. It was obvious that when Ding Sheng abolished the cultivation of the two elders just now, he did not use all his strength.
The appearance of the crack also exposed the dense insects underneath. Ding Sheng looked at it and flew up again, but the next moment he jumped into the crack.
When he reached the bottom of the crack, Ding Sheng did not kill the insects, but continued to slash out with his sword, tearing another crack, and then jumped in again.
Repeating this process several times, Ding Sheng penetrated more than ten thousand feet into the ground. At this moment, the surrounding temperature gradually increased, but Ding Sheng was surprised to find that his thoughts still did not capture the matrix.
Unexpectedly, the mother body was hidden so deep, and the types of bugs around it also became more diverse. Not only the ones above that only knew how to eat ore, but there were also a large number of bugs in black armor. When these bugs saw Ding Sheng intruding, they
They all rushed over with bared teeth and claws.
For these insects, Ding Sheng's spiritual consciousness suddenly shot out and wiped them out completely.
After destroying these insects, Ding Sheng used his sword energy again. He really didn't believe it anymore. Could it be that the mother body was hiding in the magma underground?
Therefore, Ding Sheng kept slashing out, tearing open cracks one by one, and then kept going deeper into the ground. Ding Sheng didn't know how long he went deep into the ground. The temperature around him was getting higher and higher, and the atmosphere was full of death.
On the contrary, Ding Sheng did not feel any discomfort, but continued to feel the breath of death, and gained a lot of insights from it.
What's strange is that these bugs also change as they go deeper, many of them turn into red shells, and they are not afraid of the extremely hot temperature around them at all.
This made Ding Sheng's curiosity become even more intense. What kind of creature was this mother body that could survive in such a harsh environment?
No wonder the two elders couldn't touch this place. Ding Sheng made a casual estimate and found that this place has gone deep into the ground nearly ten thousand feet, and the stratum has also undergone obvious changes. It is no longer earth and rock, but also hot and dense diamond. Diamond.
It is extremely dense and naturally very hard, but these bugs still get in and out, which is very strange.
With his initial experience, Ding Sheng released his spiritual consciousness to kill the nearby bugs every time he reached the bottom of the crack. He still doesn't know how many bugs he has killed.
Since the mother body was not found, Ding Sheng could only continue to go deeper. With his strong body, Ding Sheng was not afraid of such an environment, so Ding Sheng once again used his knife to tear open cracks and continued to go deep into the ground.
When Ding Sheng went deep into the depth of 30,000 feet, Si Gan finally captured a strange and huge creature. To Ding Sheng, that creature looked like a huge maggot, but this maggot had nearly
It has a body of thousands of feet and is covered in thick fire-red armor, and is lurking motionless in the depths of the underground lava.
Is this the mother body that Yun Zhongtian was talking about? Ding Sheng couldn't help but think. Although this mother body was motionless, it continued to produce strings of insect eggs. These eggs were wrapped in thick fiery red shells and were in the magma.
There is no damage to the inner wire.
When the insect eggs emerged from the magma, they slowly flowed around. After touching the rock wall, they were absorbed. The insects inside immediately broke out of the shell and began to devour the rocks immediately, and
They grew rapidly, and then these bugs began to mutate. Some became red bugs underground, while others kept climbing up.
On the other side, many bugs crawled down from above and spit out all the energy in their bodies into the magma. The mother body seemed to feel the replenishment of energy and stretched slightly.
Seeing this scene, Ding Sheng had to admire the strangeness of the evolution of life. At the same time, he was even more surprised that this place was filled with an unprecedented aura of death, especially in the core area of the magma. Under the huge body of the mother body, there was a faint smell like
The breath of the origin of life, but that breath is not as powerful and ancient as the origin of life, but for Ding Sheng, it is an excellent opportunity to further grasp the way of death.
