Living insects and beasts are much more valuable than dead ones, but Liu Yi and others have seen the methods of the tarsal corpse insect. How easy is it to capture it alive
As for recognizing the master, the more powerful the insect or beast, the higher its intelligence, and the more difficult it is to force it to recognize the master. This is why powerful insects and beasts are often cultivated by practitioners.
In such an environment as the Desolate Forbidden Land, the best and only way to deal with insect beasts like the Tarsal Corpse Worm is to kill them. However, the value of the insect beast will be greatly reduced in that case, so it is better to do a favor and let Yang Qi's insect beast devour it. Yang Qi's strength will be enhanced, and their next journey will be easier.
Seeing that Liu Yi and the other two had the same attitude, Yang Qi stopped being shy and nodded, "Okay then!"
While the dark beetles were devouring the tarsal corpse worms, Yang Qi's shadow clone protected them, and the four of them took advantage of the fact that the hall was still safe to recover from the previous battle.
Just a single tarsal corpse worm made them so miserable. They had no idea whether there were other dangers in the depths of the ruins or how serious the danger was. Naturally, they could not rashly go deeper when they would have consumed so much energy.
In order to enter the ancient forbidden land, the four of them were fully prepared. They had prepared a lot of elixirs to restore vitality and energy, so they quickly recovered from the previous battle.
By the time everyone woke up, the dark beetles had already devoured the tarsal corpse worms. The dark beetles can devour souls, so devouring the tarsal corpse worms is not as simple as just devouring the flesh.
Whoosh~
The dark beetle turned into a stream of light and returned to Yang Qi's body.
A gleam of brilliance flashed in Yang Qi's eyes, and he muttered to himself, "So that's it!"
Um
Hearing Yang Qi's words, Liu Yi and the other two immediately looked over.
“The reason why the tarsal bone worm can quickly restore the controlled corpse is, on the one hand, because the tarsal bone worm devours the flesh and souls of living beings and can continuously store them. It can be used for its own evolution and can also be released in battle. Therefore, the vitality of the tarsal bone worm at the same level is far beyond that of normal practitioners.” Yang Qi explained.
After hearing Yang Qi's explanation, Liu Yi and the other two understood why the corpse could recover quickly even though the damage they had caused to it was enough to exhaust the vitality of a martial emperor. It was not that the vitality of the tarsal worm could not be exhausted, but that the tarsal worm could store a large amount of vitality and then release it in battle.
"In addition, the vitality consumed by the tarsal worm to restore the body of the corpse is much smaller than we expected, because what is restored is not the real body, but only flesh and blood." Yang Qi spoke again.
The real body is made of flesh and blood, which contains vitality and extremely rich energy. However, the corpse body restored by the tarsal worm is different. Even the restored body is the same as the dried corpse before, and the consumption of vitality is naturally smaller. After all, this is not restoring the tarsal worm's own body, but restoring a body for fighting.
Hearing this, Liu Yi couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder the corpses before were never normal flesh and blood. It turns out that even if they are restored, they are not real flesh and blood."
This method of recovery that reduces the consumption of vitality is very practical, but unfortunately it is not suitable for practitioners. After all, if a practitioner's body is without flesh and blood and vitality, it will have a significant impact on his strength. It is impossible for him to burst out with all his strength like the corpse controlled by the tarsal corpse worm.
When the dark beetle devoured the tarsal corpse worm, it gained the means to store evolutionary energy. It can continuously devour energy and store it, then burst it out at the necessary moment to enhance its own strength.
With the experience in the hall, everyone was much more careful as they continued to move towards the depths of the hall. However, they did not see any corpses of practitioners along the way. It was just that the road was empty and there were no opportunities to encounter anything.
"The fact that the cultivator before was able to enter the ruins in front of us means that someone must have been here before. I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities left." Liu Yi said with a wry smile.
Although the previous cultivator was killed by the tarsal corpse worm, the other party came in. Maybe there were other cultivators who arrived here before him. Then the opportunities left in such a relic would naturally be much fewer.
Yang Qi and others had anticipated this situation. After all, over countless years, many practitioners have entered the depths of the ancient forbidden land in search of opportunities. Even if they find ruins or caves, it does not mean that they will definitely get the opportunity.
Following the broken ruins, Yang Qi and his three companions soon arrived at a place filled with stone chambers. However, most of the stone chambers had been destroyed and buried underground, leaving less than one-third of them.
Looking at the densely packed stone chamber in front of him, Liu Yi couldn't help but say, "Separate and investigate."
Yang Qi and the other two nodded slightly, then dispersed and flew towards the stone chambers in different directions. Most of these stone chambers were empty, with nothing left. It was obvious that they had been swept through by the practitioners who had entered the ruins before.
"It's empty again!"
Yang Qi gave a bitter smile, and with a flash of his body, he immediately left the stone chamber in front of him and headed towards the next stone chamber.
Whoosh~
Passing through the restriction at the entrance of the stone chamber, Yang Qi came to the interior of the stone chamber. His eyes widened immediately. He saw that the stone chamber in front of him was filled with a large number of Taoist embryos, including defensive Taoist soldiers and killing soldiers.
Yang Qi looked at the Dao soldiers that had not yet been refined in front of him, and muttered to himself, "The level of these embryos is not too high. It looks like they are just standard Dao soldiers."
Large-scale cultivation forces all have their own standard Taoist soldiers, mainly swords, but also some common weapons. The defensive Taoist soldiers are almost the same. After all, the weapons used by practitioners are different, but there are no such requirements for defensive Taoist soldiers.
“Although the levels of these Taoist soldiers are not high, if they are completely refined, they will probably be close to the level of mid-grade Taoist soldiers. This is a good opportunity and is just right for the rapidly developing Tianwu Sect!” Yang Qi said secretly in his heart.
Although the Taoist soldiers in front of him were not of high grade, they were numerous and only lacked the last step. With a little refining, they could become real Taoist soldiers. Their value was not much lower than that of real Taoist soldiers. They should be the standard Taoist soldiers that the Ancient Saint Sect was preparing to refine, but when the final war broke out, these standard Taoist soldiers that had not yet been refined were sealed here.
Wow~
Yang Qi moved his hands and immediately collected all the treasures in the stone chamber. The Dao soldiers in the stone chamber alone were worth hundreds of billions of crystals. This was because the Dao soldiers were not fully refined, otherwise the value would be even higher. (To be continued)
