"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
Yang Qi looked at Emperor Qingzhi who was standing beside him, and then asked in a deep voice, "Brother Qingzhi, have you noticed something is wrong?"
"Something is indeed not right." Emperor Qingzhi nodded slightly.
It wasn't just Yang Qi who noticed that something was wrong with the blood soul insect swarm. There were other practitioners as well, and Emperor Qingzhi was one of them.
Although the blood soul worms are not very intelligent, they still have basic biological instincts. If they encounter a crisis in which they are sure to die, they will choose to escape. Yang Qi and his team have encountered this kind of thing many times, and many blood soul worms have escaped from them.
However, although the group of blood soul worms in front of them had suffered a lot of losses in the battle until now, the surviving blood soul worms showed no intention of escaping at all. This was a bit strange.
"The Blood Soul Insect Swarm is fighting to the death?" Looking at the Blood Soul Insect Swarm that would rather die than retreat, Yang Qi couldn't help but frown, and a ridiculous idea flashed through his mind.
Although this idea seemed ridiculous, Yang Qi could not laugh at all at this moment. The movements of the strange beasts in Baizhuan Lake were already very abnormal, and now the group of blood soul insects that they had finally encountered were also so abnormal. This was not a good sign!
The blood soul worms fought to the death, which was a good thing for Yang Qi and his group. As the number of blood soul worms continued to decrease, Yang Qi and his group's advantage continued to expand, and finally they killed all the more than 30 blood soul worms in front of them.
Wu Xin looked at Emperor Qingzhi standing beside him, and said in confusion, "How could these blood soul insects rather die than retreat? This is too abnormal."
"The blood soul insect swarm would rather die than retreat, and they are usually guarding important things." Emperor Qingzhi said in a deep voice.
Something important
As soon as this was said, Yang Qi and the others showed a puzzled look on their faces. Although the Blood Soul Worm is one of the most important exotic beasts in Baizhuan Lake, this does not mean that the Blood Soul Worm's nest is here. The real nest of the Blood Soul Worm is actually deep in the Jedi, where the king of the Blood Soul Worm lives.
Strictly speaking, Baizhuan Lake is actually just the main activity location of the Blood Soul Worms. It is just an activity location. What are the Blood Soul Worms guarding
Emperor Qingzhi looked towards the depths of the Jedi and slowly said, "If it is in the depths of the Jedi, then the Blood Soul Bug Swarm may be guarding the Blood Soul Bug Queen."
Blood soul worms are alien beasts that live in groups. One of the tasks of ordinary blood soul worms is to protect the Queen Mother and to carry out the Queen Mother's orders 100%. Therefore, it is not strange for them to fight to the death to protect the Queen Mother.
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed as he looked at Emperor Qingzhi who was standing beside him and said, "This is Baizhuan Lake, not the deepest part of the Jedi. There is no Blood Soul Bug Queen at all. What is the Blood Soul Bug guarding?"
Although there are many blood soul worms in Baizhuan Lake, there is no Blood Soul Worm Queen. After all, the Queen is at the high-level Martial Emperor level. If there is a Blood Soul Worm Queen, people like Emperor Qingzhi would not dare to come here to seek opportunities.
"If it's not the Blood Soul Worm Queen, the most likely possibility is the Blood Soul Worm eggs." Emperor Qingzhi said in a deep voice.
Blood soul insect eggs
Yang Qi was stunned. When he and Wei Jun and others eradicated the Blood Blade Valley, he had seen the blood soul worm eggs collected by the Blood Blade Emperor, but he did not know that there were blood soul worm eggs in Baizhuan Lake.
"There are blood soul worm eggs in Baizhuan Lake, but there is no record of this in the previous intelligence." Liu Qian frowned slightly.
"Because this situation rarely occurs, generally speaking, although there are blood soul insect eggs in Baizhuan Lake, it will not be when the Jedi movement occurs." Emperor Qingzhi smiled bitterly and continued, "After all, the strange beasts will also feel the Jedi movement, so they will naturally not hatch their offspring at this time."
I see!
After hearing Emperor Qingzhi's explanation, Yang Qi and others also understood that this situation probably had only occurred a few times in the long history, so naturally it had not been passed down as routine intelligence about Baizhuan Lake. Instead, it could be seen as a relatively special situation.
"Brother Qingzhi, do you mean that the blood soul worms are guarding the blood soul worm eggs?" Yang Qi looked at Emperor Qingzhi and said.
Emperor Qingzhi nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "This possibility is very high, and other than this, I can't think of any other possibilities for the time being."
"If the blood soul worms gather in a certain area in order to protect the blood soul worm eggs, resulting in a decrease in the number of blood soul worms in other places, and even the blood soul beasts that feed on blood soul worms have disappeared, this makes sense, but what about the blood scale beasts? Blood scale beasts are not in the food chain." Yang Qi frowned.
The blood soul worm absorbs the blood mist to grow, and the blood soul beast uses the power of the blood soul worm. The changes in the two strange beasts may be caused by one of the strange beasts, but the blood scale beast is not in the food chain, so it is impossible for it to be affected by the changes of these two strange beasts.
"We have been in Baizhuan Lake for such a long time. Even if the blood soul worms want to protect the blood soul worm eggs, it won't be so sudden." Meng Xuan frowned slightly.
After hearing what Yang Qi and the others said, Emperor Qingzhi couldn't help but nodded slightly. There was indeed something weird about this matter. Although they discovered the abnormality of the blood soul worm, the information they obtained was still very limited.
"Hurry up and recover, and then continue the investigation." Emperor Qingzhi said helplessly.
Everyone had consumed a lot of energy in the previous battle, and now they didn't know what dangers lay ahead. Naturally, they couldn't go forward in this state, so they stayed where they were to recover.
The team adopted a method of taking turns to recover. The first to recover was Yang Qi's team. The group of fourteen people recovered quickly, and then Emperor Qingzhi and his thirteen people began to recover.
Not long after Emperor Qingzhi and his party began to recover, a large number of light spots suddenly appeared on the map. Yang Qi's face changed and he shouted, "Oh no, it's strange beasts. A large number of strange beasts are coming."
Meng Xuan and others glanced at the map, their faces also changed, and then they immediately woke up Emperor Qingzhi and others who were recovering.
"So many strange beasts?" Emperor Qingzhi's face changed when he looked at the light spots that appeared on the map. There were more than fifty light spots, which meant that more than fifty strange beasts appeared.
Not to mention that the thirteen people on Emperor Qingzhi's side have not fully recovered yet. Even if the entire team is in peak condition, they can only flee when encountering so many strange beasts.
"withdraw!"
Without any hesitation, Emperor Qingzhi immediately ordered a retreat, and the group immediately turned into streams of light and, under the blessing of Yang Qi's virtual world, rushed towards Qianhuiyuan.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
In the passage, human figures were flying at full speed. After all, everyone knew that they would be in danger if they were caught up by the group of strange beasts.
However, after the group had escaped a short distance, Yang Qi suddenly said, "No one is chasing us!"
Didn’t catch up
Hearing Yang Qi's words, Emperor Qingzhi and others were stunned. They immediately looked at the map that Yang Qi activated, and found that the light spot in the map had disappeared.
