Among the four empires, the Southern Tianyue Empire has a very famous large-scale sect called the Slave Beast Sect. The strength of the sect ranks among the top three in the Tianyue Empire, and each of the disciples in the sect is skilled in taming and raising animals. superb skills.
The art of taming beasts has been around for a long time. After all, monster beasts are quite powerful. If you can tame them and use them for your own use, it can be of great help. Moreover, many sects have set up similar beast taming halls to tame monster beasts. . However, compared to the Slave Beast Sect, which is world-famous for its beast-taming skills, the level of beast-taming of these sects is naturally not on the same level.
Moreover, what the Slave Beast Sect is really famous for is not only its own level of beast taming, but also its unique insect slave technique. The Insect Raising Hall established within the sect is a branch specifically responsible for raising slaves and insects.
Taming beasts and slave insects may look similar on the surface, but in fact they are completely different. The art of slave insects has been lost for a long time. The Slave Beast Sect was lucky enough to obtain a fragment of slave insects from an ancient ruins, and only then mastered some slave insects. technique.
The "Element Devouring Beetle" is a kind of creepy and mysterious demon insect raised by the Slave Beast Sect. This kind of demon insect not only has extremely strong defense capabilities, but can even withstand attacks from ordinary Xuan-level weapons.
Ye Feng frowned, his face uncertain.
In some materials collected in the Treasure Pavilion of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, the description of the four eastern empires is not detailed. Among the dozens of large sects in the four empires, the Slave Beast Sect is a mysterious sect with a relatively low-key style. Ye Feng only occasionally found some brief descriptions of "element-devouring beetles" in an old document.
However, Ye Feng also knew very well that if the gray-shelled beetle in front of him was really a "element-devouring beetle", the true identity of the Taoist man that day would be revealed.
"Slave Beast Sect? How could the Slave Beast Sect, which is far away in the Tianyue Empire, come to the five northern Xinjiang countries? This is too strange." Ye Feng shook his head. Now is not the time to think about this problem. The consumption of Yuanli is huge. After devouring the Yuanli on the Yuanli shield, the Yuanli-devouring beetle has obviously become much larger in size, and the speed of devouring the shield has become faster. Now even if there is Yuanjuan Dan to replenish Yuanli, It was difficult to replenish his lost energy.
Ye Feng tried other methods and used the unskilled Flame Palm.
The Flame Palm is derived from a set of low-level introductory palm techniques in "Li Huo Jue", and its power is average. The reason why Ye Feng wants to try it is to see if the fire element power, which has a miraculous effect on expelling poisonous insects, can restrain his eyes. The element-eating beetle.
Ye Feng channeled the little fire energy left in his body into his hands, flipped his palms and blasted them out. The flames in his palms burst out and directly hit the few gray-shelled beetles closest to him.
"Squeak!" The beetle hit by the flaming palm was directly knocked away by Ye Feng's strong palm force. The gray hard shell on its body was also burned red by the fire element power under the high temperature, as if it was red-hot iron. .
"It's done?" Ye Feng was overjoyed. He was about to attack the other beetles in the same way, but found that the gray-shelled beetles that had fallen to the ground and couldn't move turned over and got up again. His expression suddenly changed.
Although the carapace on his body was burned red by the fire elemental power, the element-devouring beetle protected by the carapace did not seem to be affected. After just a few breaths, the gray-shelled beetle crawled toward Ye Feng again.
"If the Flame Palm doesn't work, try the Golden Light Fist!" Ye Feng's face twisted, and an unknown evil fire rose up!
"Boom!" Golden light burst out, Ye Feng punched out with both fists, and knocked away more than ten gray-shelled beetles again.
The result was as usual, although it could successfully knock away the beetle, it could not cause any damage at all.
Ye Feng was so angry that he almost used all the basic martial arts skills he had mastered, but the result left him completely disappointed.
Because of the forced use of martial arts, the Yuan Qi in Ye Feng's body was almost exhausted, and the Yuan Qi shield that protected him almost collapsed. Fortunately, he swallowed a few Yuan Gathering Pills in time and was able to barely stabilize the crumbling Yuan Qi shield!
Ye Feng was at the end of his rope, so he picked up a magic trick in desperation.
If Yuan Li is not good, then try spiritual power.
Fortunately, the Immortal Dao cultivation has reached the third level of Qi refining alert, which is considered to be the peak of the early stage of Qi refining. The lowest level fireball technique can barely be used.
After pinching his fingers together, a silver halo appeared in Ye Feng's hands. The fireball technique he was most familiar with in his memory was finally successful after several consecutive uses. Sparks gathered in the halo of his palms. Under the rapid vibration of spiritual energy, the sparks It slowly condensed and finally formed a ball of spiritual fire the size of a fist.
The essence of the fireball gathered by the spiritual power is completely different from that of the fire element. The temperature is at least several levels different. Just a fist-sized fireball has already made Ye Feng feel that the temperature around him has increased significantly.
The appearance of the fireball also attracted the attention of the gray-shelled beetle that kept eating the energy shield.
They almost subconsciously stopped the movement of their pointed jaws and suddenly became sluggish.
"Could it be that this thing is useful?" Ye Feng was shocked and his eyebrows were filled with joy.
"I don't have much spiritual power. I can only cast the fireball technique three times at most. Even if the spiritual fireball can hurt these beetles, I'm afraid it won't be possible to kill them all!"
Ye Feng did not try to throw the spiritual fire ball directly in his hand, but suddenly stretched out his right hand holding the fire ball forward!
"Squeak!!" Before the gray-shelled beetle was touched by the spiritual fire ball, it suddenly dispersed with a strange cry and climbed down directly from Ye Feng's energy shield.
"Haha, it really works!" Ye Feng was overjoyed. With his free left hand, he picked up the magic formula again and condensed another spiritual fire ball!
With two fireballs in hand, the surrounding temperature became even more scorching. The gray-shelled beetles clinging tightly to the Yuanli shield seemed to be unable to bear it and finally dispersed. Fortunately, these spiritual fireballs themselves were cast by Ye Feng. Therefore, under the protection of the spiritual halo, the high temperature of the spiritual fire ball did not have much impact on him.
The densely packed gray-shelled beetles retreated about three steps, but refused to leave. They neighed at Ye Feng, and the strange "squeaking" sound continued for a long time, which sounded creepy.
"There is a relatively narrow cave ahead. As long as the spiritual fire is spread all over the cave entrance, these beetles will not dare to chase after it rashly!"
Ye Feng looked around and found three cave entrances in an open space dozens of feet away, which seemed to lead to three different directions.
Now there is no choice. Although holding the spiritual fire ball in his hand and concentrating it without letting go can successfully drive away the gray-shelled beetles, it will also consume a lot of his spiritual power. The journey out of the cave is too far, and his The spirit fire ball could not support him until he left the cave. Obviously, these gray-shelled beetles would not let him go so easily.
I can only bite the bullet and continue to delve deeper!
Ye Feng spread out his body, and suddenly performed the Wind Step under his feet. His body turned into a wisp of breeze and ran towards the narrowest branch of the cave entrance!
As expected, the gray-shelled beetles did not give up. When Ye Feng suddenly flew away, all the gray-shelled beetles shook together. The gray-black carapace split from the middle, stretched out a pair of thin transparent wings, and stood out from the ground. He got up and rushed towards Ye Feng one after another.
"These guys actually have wings!" Ye Feng was dumbfounded for a moment, but fortunately, his wind walking speed was fast enough, and he reached the entrance of the cave in a blink of an eye. With a kick of his feet, he jumped out and rushed in, which was only about half a foot high. in the hole.
"Go!" Almost at the moment he landed, Ye Feng flicked his hands, and two spiritual fire balls hit the upper and lower parts of the hole.
"Bang!" The spiritual fire ball suddenly exploded, forming two walls of fire that completely enveloped the entire cave entrance.
A group of gray-shelled beetles rushed too fast and couldn't hold themselves back for a moment, jumping directly into the wall of fire.
The indestructible gray-shelled beetle was swept up by the spiritual fire and turned directly into flying ash. Thousands of beetles that followed stopped and screamed strangely at the wall of fire blocking the way.
They had seen the terror of spiritual fire, so they naturally did not dare to jump into the wall of fire rashly. They could only slowly fall from the air and crawl around anxiously outside the cave entrance.
After all, it is just a temporary fire wall, not a real fire wall technique, so the spiritual power in the spiritual fire will dissipate quickly, and the fire wall constructed by the spiritual fire will disappear immediately. Ye Feng did not dare to pause for a moment, and the wind was blowing under his feet. Escape quickly.
Fortunately, although the entrance to the cave was small, the space inside the cave was quite spacious, enough for Ye Feng to use the Wind Step to distance himself from the gray-shelled beetle before the spiritual fire disappeared.
After running wildly for an hour, and after confirming that the gray-shelled beetle had not followed, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief, stopped and looked around.
The mysterious restriction that restricted spiritual thoughts seemed to have disappeared. Ye Feng's spiritual thoughts successfully left the body hundreds of feet away, and he had a general understanding of the nearby situation.
Ye Feng was surprised to find that the place where Tian Taoist people lived was actually a network of caves extending in all directions. Starting from the first fork, each cave tunnel began to branch out into many different directions, leading to different directions.
One of the cave tunnels goes directly deep into the ground. It looks mysterious and strange. Moreover, there are restrictions placed in this tunnel, making it difficult for spiritual minds to detect, so Ye Feng gave up directly.
The cave tunnel he was in led directly to the west. Although there were no restrictions, Ye Feng used all his spiritual energy to find the end of the tunnel.
"If you want to go to other corridors, you have to go back to the clearing where the gray-shelled beetles are entrenched. It seems that this is the only path to the end!" Ye Feng did not dare to mess with those beetles again. He only had enough spiritual power in his body to use it once. Fireball, once entangled by the Gray Shell Beetle, you will not be able to escape as easily as last time.
Ye Feng held his breath and concentrated, and after confirming that there was no danger ahead, he unfolded his body again and quickly shuttled towards the depths of the corridor.
As time went by while running wildly, Ye Feng ran for four full hours before he noticed anything unusual in front of him.
The tunnel in the cave was pitch black, and the slightest bit of light would appear unusually abrupt. The wisps of fire coming from the front made Ye Feng stop in time.
"Why is there fire? Are we almost close to the exit?" In order to save his spiritual power, Ye Feng did not keep his spiritual thoughts running while running. At this moment, something unexpected happened, so he quickly used his spiritual thoughts.
Just as Ling Nian was launched, before he had time to check the situation ahead, Ye Feng heard a series of calls in his ears.
