It is said that the magical power of the goddess Hengbo lies in her pair of clear eyes, which can see things that mortals cannot see.
Even break through time and space and go beyond the boundary.
To refine such important eyes into the earth and turn them into clear springs requires not only courage but also cultivation.
Zhu Changyang admired her but couldn't help but feel sad: "The fairy has suffered."
Miao Hengbo was very indifferent and said with a smile: "It's just a mortal skin."
But this has brought things to a standstill again.
Xuan Yang scratched his head: "If even the fairy lady can't find the 'unextinguished flame', then we have no hope, right?"
The forbidden land of no life is so vast and boundless that its location is hard to tell, and I don’t know when I will find it.
Zhu Changyang was not sure, but he still cheered up: "Let's try it first."
Miao Hengbo pondered and said, "Perhaps, you can use my eyes."
"The fairy's eyes?" Zhu Changyang was startled, then he understood and looked at the spring next to him, "You mean the Tear Spring?"
"That's right." Miao Hengbo nodded slightly and said that her legacy was left in the Tearful Spring. If they could enter the spring, they might be able to see underground through the water and find the place where the fire was not extinguished.
Xuan Yang frowned: "That would be great!"
Developer: “Meow!”
Zhu Changyang felt something was wrong and asked, "Since there is still a way to cure the Tear Spring, why didn't the fairy succeed at the beginning?"
Miao Hengbo sighed: "Because I encountered a sixth-level Shapo insect king."
"Sha Po?" Xuan Yang was shocked. "Sixth-level insect king?!"
Zhu Changyang didn't know much about the species in the cultivation world, so he was confused when he heard this: "What is this?"
Xuan Yang explained that the Shapo worm is an ancient monster that lives in the desert. Legend has it that it has extremely strong powers, has many legs, and an indestructible shell. It usually feeds on sand, and its mouthparts can crush the hardest spiritual stones.
They are also ferocious by nature. They can kill monsters that are several times stronger than themselves in groups and dominate an area. They were once the nightmare of all desert creatures, and many monks have died at the hands of these insects.
However, in the late Great Wilderness period, a flood destroyed the world and this kind of monster also disappeared.
Nowadays, few people in the cultivation world know about this ancient insect, and Xuan Yang has only seen it in the records of his clan.
I didn't expect that there would be such relics in the Wusheng Forbidden Land.
Low-level Shapo worms are already very difficult to deal with, and Miao Hengbo actually encountered a sixth-level worm king.
The sixth level is close to the fusion stage, comparable to the realm of the leader of a major sect.
No wonder she failed in the end and even died.
Miao Hengbo said that she had used her eyes to refine spring water and peer into the underworld. She was almost successful and was only one step away from never extinguishing the fire. But suddenly a Shapo insect king appeared.
Under normal circumstances, she could still have fought hard, but at that time she had stayed in the Forbidden Land of No Life for too long, consumed a lot of magic power, and lost her eyes. In the end, she and the Shapo Worm King ended up in a draw.
Miao Hengbo died, but fortunately she was carrying the top-level magic weapon, the jade ring passed down by her master. When she died, she used the power of the ring to seal the dying Insect King into the Fountain of Tears, and left the last trace of his breath in the ring.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Changyang was suddenly startled: "Could those insects in the spring water be Shapo insects?"
He just thought that those insects looked very strange. They didn't look like underwater creatures, but more like land species.
If it really was that kind of evil insect, it would be no wonder that the developer's tough demon tiger was actually bitten and hurt.
Miao Hengbo was also surprised when he heard this: "There are bugs in the Tear Spring?"
The Tearful Spring was not a natural spring, but was refined by her eyes. This forbidden land had no water source, let alone aquatic species. Normally, even after thousands of years, the spring water should be clear and flawless, without any stain.
Zhu Changyang described to her what the bugs looked like and how they bit the developer.
"It is indeed a Shapo worm." Miao Hengbo frowned and said solemnly, "It looks like it should be the offspring of the Insect King. I think the Insect King laid eggs when he was dying. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."
Insect kings have always been female, and it is not surprising that the Shapo insect can also reproduce parthenogenetically and give birth to offspring.
What surprised Miao Hengbo was that the Shapo worm was originally a land monster that did not know how to swim, so she sealed the worm king into the spring water and drowned him.
Unexpectedly, the insect eggs hatched.
Moreover, after so many years, these evil insects not only did not become extinct, but instead adapted to life in the water and continued to reproduce, filling an entire pond.
Fortunately, the seal of the Tearful Fountain is still there, so these bugs can't escape, otherwise it would be very bad.
Of course, it's not much better now.
"Alas, if that's the case, you may not be able to go down to the spring water." Miao Hengbo sighed.
"Don't be afraid." Zhu Changyang remained calm, "Just kill those bugs."
"Yes!" Xuan Yang's eyes flashed with the sharpness unique to young people. He raised his wrist and showed three shining steel claws. "I'm not afraid of those bugs!"
"It's not that easy." Miao Hengbo shook his head, secretly sighing that young people are so naive. "These bugs are hard to deal with on the ground, and now they are in the water..."
If it were just one or two, it would be fine, but there are tens of thousands of them.
"Fortunately, they are all in the water." Zhu Changyang laughed, took out the wire, Kunshan energy ring and a small transformer from his pocket, and touched the developer's head, "Shangzi, didn't you want to electrocute those bugs just now? Daddy approved it!"
Since they are all pests, it is not considered uncivilized to electrocute them.
The developer, Carbon Face, was so excited that his front paws stood up: "Awooo!"
Xuan Yang:
What are all these
Soon, they found out.
Fortunately, the chaotic energy here is thin, and Kunshan Piece of Jade is a top-level magic weapon, so it can be activated here.
Zhu Changyang connected the circuit, inserted one end of the wire into the spring water, and then turned on the switch.
Xuan Yang felt waves of spiritual power being released from the small jade magic weapon. After a while, the calm spring water exploded with a "splash".
It turned out that the swarm of Shapo insects hidden under the water were struck by lightning. They jumped out of the water frantically, making shrill "chirp" screams and desperately trying to escape to the shore.
However, the spring was sealed, so the insect fell back immediately after jumping up a little. Once it touched the water, it bounced up again.
After several rounds of this, it finally lost its strength and floated on the water.
died.
These were the relatively sturdy insects; some of the smaller ones didn't even have a chance to jump up and died instantly on the spot.
In a short while, the water surface was filled with black corpses of Shapo worms.
Xuan Yang was stunned:
Did he read fake records of monsters before? !
What happened to the saying that the Shapo worms are extremely powerful and can dominate an area in groups
How come I can't even dominate a spring? !
Zhu Changyang hadn't even entered the water yet. To be more precise, he didn't even exert much strength!
These insects died suddenly in clusters. It was not as fast as he and those talisman practitioners who set up magic circles to hunt the beasts!
Xuan Yang raised his right hand and looked at the three sharp steel claws. He couldn't help but ask himself: What use do I have for these claws? !
Miao Hengbo couldn't see anything and didn't know what the current situation was, but he could feel that the atmosphere seemed a little subtle.
Mainly because it's too quiet.
There was no sound of fighting or weapons, only the faint sound of water splashing. The young man who had been so high-spirited just now also fell silent, as if he had been stimulated by something.
Miao Hengbo was not surprised by this. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"No." Zhu Changyang said in a relaxed tone, looked at the spring water, and smiled, "We have almost finished killing them."
Developer: “Ooooooooooo!”
Miao Hengbo:?
Wait, this is not what she expected!
Zhu Changyang looked at the Shapo worms floating on the water and couldn't help but take out a fishing net made of insulating material from his pocket. He swung it hard and quickly caught a large number of insect corpses.
The seal of the Fountain of Tears is aimed at living things. After the saboteur dies and its breath dissipates, it can be taken out of the spring.
Xuan Yang had just recovered from his shock when he saw Zhu Changyang dragging back a large net bag of Shapo worm corpses. He was stunned again: "Brother Zhu, what are you doing with these worms?"
"To get the beast pills." Zhu Changyang opened the net and dumped the sandworms onto the sand, while answering, "There are so many monsters, don't waste them, they can be worth a lot of points!"
Xuan Yang: “…?”
No, it’s already this late and Brother Zhu is still thinking about the exam!
What kind of fighting spirit is this?!
However, he still underestimated Zhu Changyang.
Zhu Changyang was not only thinking about the beast pill, he also didn't let go of the other parts of the insect.
He performed a full body dissection on the Shapo worm and discovered that the worm's shell was harder than the scales of many monsters and was an excellent protective material. He immediately decided to peel off the worm's shell.
Xuan Yangdi watched him dig out animal pills and peel insect shells, and saw a joy of harvest in his busyness. Then he fell into deep silence again.
Why can someone make something as dangerous as hunting monsters into something festive and joyful
Not only Zhu Changyang, the developer was also very skilled in this. Seeing this, he immediately came over, popped out his tiger claws, and helped Zhu Changyang dig the beast pill.
After digging for a while, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and walked behind Xuan Yang, and used his head to push him to the side of the pile of insect corpses, "Ahhh!"
What are you standing there for? Let's dig together!
Xuan Yang: “…”
Xuan Yang: “Oh.”
He didn't know why, but he couldn't help but sit down. He grabbed a Shapo worm with his left hand, and pierced the worm's belly with his right hand's steel claws accurately, digging out a red beast pill.
After digging out the animal cores, they followed Zhu Changyang's instructions, using steel claws to pick open the insect shells and sort them one by one.
He was very fast and dealt with one in just a few seconds.
"Xuan Yang is an experienced hand!" Zhu Changyang's eyes curved, "It's good to have your help, then I'll make some more."
As he spoke, he cast the net again.
The batch that was dragged up this time died later and were obviously of higher rank. It was visible to the naked eye that there were several in the Jindan stage.
Soon, the insect corpses on the sand piled up into a small hill.
Xuan Yang and the developer sat next to the insect mountain, picking up a pill with each claw, peeling the shell and removing the flesh, like workers on an assembly line.
Studio:
[Good fellow, if Chang Yang can get out this time, the number of beast pills he will have will be terrifying! ]
[Emmm, am I the only one who thinks they look like people peeling shrimps in a crayfish restaurant? ]
[Fuck, why do I have this weird feeling of déjà vu?]
[As expected of Chang Yang, a monster hunting competition was made to feel like a restaurant kitchen...]
