Chapter 381: Ranking of Strange Insects in the World No. [Subscription Request]

Because he was injured, and he was afraid that his whereabouts would be discovered by the forces behind the silver-robed young man Wang Jun.

When Zhou Chun returned to his family, he didn't dare to use the golden-winged tiger for transportation at first, and could only rely on himself to continue his journey despite his injuries.

It was not until he left the territory of the Great Zhou and flew over another country that he dared to release the golden-winged tiger for transportation.

It took more than two months for Zhou Chun to arrive in the territory of Yang State.

The reason for taking a detour through Yang State was that Zhou Chun also had to stop by the Hongyu Peak stronghold to collect the [Earth Yuan Crystal Jade] ore and his own spiritual coins.

However, what Zhou Chun did not expect was that when he arrived at the Hongyu Peak stronghold to collect these things, Lin Wan'er provided him with a piece of news that interested him very much.

It turned out that according to Lin Wan'er, Fu Changqing, a late foundation-building cultivator in the stronghold, returned from the snowfield and told about a thrilling experience he had on the snowfield.

At that time, Fu Changqing went to the snowfield to look for the Snow Crystal Worm King. After years of fruitless searching, he witnessed a shocking scene in a snow valley.

According to what he said, he was chasing a second-level medium-grade monster, the Frost Yak, and broke into the snow valley, which alarmed a group of horrible monster insects living in the snow valley.

In just a few breaths, the second-level intermediate-grade monster, the Frost Yak, was killed by the group of terrifying demon insects.

If Fu Changqing had not seen the opportunity quickly and escaped from the valley in time, he would have followed the fate of the frost yak.

"Friend Fu, please tell our clan leader again about your discovery on the snowy plain!"

Inside the cave, after Lin Wan'er confirmed that Zhou Chun was interested, she called the person involved, Fu Changqing, over and asked him to tell Zhou Chun about his discovery.

At this time, Zhou Chun was already a cultivator in the Purple Mansion Stage, and Fu Changqing didn't dare to show the slightest disrespect in front of him.

After hearing what Lin Wan'er said, he immediately bowed to Zhou Chun and said, "Junior Fu Changqing, greetings to Senior Zhou!"

In the world of immortal cultivation, the strong are respected and the successful are prioritized.

Unless they are good friends or elders of the same clan, those with lower cultivation must call those with higher cultivation as "seniors", otherwise it would be considered an offense.

Fu Changqing is just a casual cultivator, so of course he would not make mistakes in such matters.

"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Fu. Please tell me about your discovery!"

Zhou Chun waved his hand, indicating that he should get down to business.

"Yes, junior, I obey."

Fu Changqing responded and immediately told his story.

"At that time, the valley was filled with cold fog. I only saw a group of strange insects rushing out of the fog. They looked like wasps, with blue and white patterns on their bodies and blue-black eyes. The smallest one was as big as an adult's fist, and the largest one was as big as a human head. They could spit out white cold air."

"The frost yak that I'm chasing is an ice-walking monster. Ordinary second-tier ice-walking spells don't have much killing effect on it."

“But after being hit by the white cold air spewed out by the group of strange insects, it wailed and fell to the ground in just a few breaths. Thick frost condensed on its body. It was actually frozen to death!”

"I was so scared at the time that I didn't dare to look any further and fled directly from the Snow Valley. Fortunately, those strange insects didn't chase me!"

Speaking of this, Fu Changqing's eyes were filled with fear. It was obvious that this thrilling experience was very unforgettable for him.

After hearing his words, Zhou Chun's eyes moved, as if he understood something.

He nodded quickly and said, "I know the situation. Fellow Daoist Fu, please go back first. If I need your help again, I will look for you again."

"Yes, junior, please take your leave."

Fu Changqing didn't dare to say anything more, and immediately bowed respectfully and left.

After the man left, Lin Wan'er looked at Zhou Chun and asked, "Patriarch, do you know the origin of the monster insect that Daoist Fellow Fu saw?"

Zhou Chun couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this and said, "It's hard to say at the moment. I need to look up the classics carefully first!"

After saying that, he slapped the storage bag on his waist, took out his own copy of "List of Strange Insects in Heaven and Earth" and other related demon insect illustrations and started to check them out.

After searching for about half an hour, Zhou Chun had an idea.

According to what he found in the classics, the demon insect that Fu Changqing mentioned was most likely the "Sky Frost Cold Bee", a strange insect ranked 98th on the "List of Strange Insects in Heaven and Earth".

According to the "List of Strange Insects of Heaven and Earth", "Sky Frost Bees" are a kind of strange insects that live in ice and snow areas. They are ferocious and feed on monsters on the snowfields. They also like to eat minerals or herbs that contain pure ice spiritual power.

The most powerful ability of the "Sky Frost Cold Bees" is the "Sky Frost Cold Air" condensed in their bodies, which is the white cold air mentioned by Fu Changqing.

The power of this "Heavenly Frost Cold Air" will increase with the growth of the "Heavenly Frost Cold Bee"'s own strength. The "Heavenly Frost Cold Air" spewed out by a mature "Heavenly Frost Cold Bee" can even freeze the soul of a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator, and is accompanied by a powerful cold poison.

Even if a Jindan-stage cultivator is infected, it will take a huge amount of mana to get rid of it.

If the group of demonic insects that Fu Changqing saw were really "Sky Frost Cold Bees", then it would not be surprising that the second-level intermediate-grade demon beast Frost Yak was frozen to death by the cold air.

After all, the nature of "Heavenly Frost" that freezes the soul and the terrifying cold poison cannot be exempted simply by having a high cold resistance attribute.

However, considering that Fu Changqing was able to escape at the time, Zhou Chun still has to confirm whether those evil insects are "Sky Frost Cold Bees".

After all, even if it is only ranked 98th, the "Sky Frost Cold Bee" is still a strange insect on the "List of Strange Insects of Heaven and Earth" and it has not appeared for many years.

Zhou Chun didn't dare to hold too much hope that the group of evil insects were genuine.

But no matter what, the poisonous bee monster that Fu Changqing mentioned is worth his on-site investigation.

If it really is the "Heavenly Frost Bee", then Zhou Chun will definitely try his best to subdue it.

"What a coincidence! If it were any other strange insects, I wouldn't dare to appear in front of them with my current abilities. But as for the Heavenly Frost Bees, I'm not afraid of them!"

As he thought about this, his attention couldn't help but fall on the white jade bead in his Dantian Qi Sea.

[Moon Toad Orb] The grade of this spiritual treasure is too high, and Zhou Chun is unable to actively drive it now.

But this thing saved his life when he was attacked by a third-level monster and helped him absorb the cold air that was freezing him.

Although the "Sky Frost Cold Air" spewed out by the "Sky Frost Cold Bee" is very strong, it cannot be stronger than the power of the spiritual treasure.

Therefore, Zhou Chun had this magical treasure with him, so he was not afraid of the danger he would encounter after encountering the real "Sky Frost Cold Bee".

Although he had made up his mind, Zhou Chun did not immediately call Fu Changqing to set off for the snowfield.

Because he had not recovered from the injuries he received in the Great Zhou Kingdom, he wanted to wait until he recovered a little before setting off again to avoid the possibility of further injuries. In addition, if those demon bees were really "Sky Frost Bees", he would also need to prepare some things to capture them.

For the next two months, Zhou Chun stayed in seclusion in the Hongyu Peak stronghold, concentrating on recovering from his injuries.

After resting for more than two months, he felt that his injuries had almost recovered, and finally called Fu Changqing to go to the snowfield.

The two of them set out on a journey, and under the leadership of Fu Changqing, in less than five days, they arrived outside a snowy valley filled with cold fog.

Looking from mid-air, you can see that the vast snow-capped mountains suddenly fork out here, forming a "Y"-shaped valley. Due to the high humidity and the difference in temperature, the air in the valley is often covered with white cold fog.

If you don't look closely, but just look from a distance, it's easy to mistake the white cold fog and the snow-capped mountains for a whole.

"That's right. Those monster insects live in the snow valley here. I went down there following that frost yak."

In mid-air, Fu Changqing pointed to a place where the snow mountain and the snow valley intersected below, and whispered about his experience at that time.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun nodded and said, "I understand. Fellow Daoist Fu, your mission has been completed. You can go back now!"

Hearing his words, Fu Changqing showed a hint of hesitation, and then whispered, "Senior Zhou, can I wait for you outside?"

"If Fellow Daoist Fu wants to stay outside, I can't stop him, but if anything happens, don't blame me for not informing you in advance!"

Zhou Chun glanced at him and answered calmly.

Hearing this, Fu Changqing's expression changed slightly, and he quickly changed his words and said, "Please forgive me, senior. I was presumptuous just now. I will leave now!"

After saying that, he bowed to Zhou Chun and turned away in a hurry.

After watching Fu Changqing go away, Zhou Chun's eyes flashed, and he immediately plunged into the snow valley filled with cold fog below.

After falling nearly two thousand feet from mid-air, Zhou Chun found himself at the bottom of the snow valley.

Compared with the snow-capped mountains above, the temperature at the bottom of the snow valley is much higher. Although there is snow and ice on the ground, you can still see soil, rocks, and some cold-resistant plants.

The cold fog was only thick in the air ten feet above the ground, and was relatively thin near the ground.

Zhou Chun looked around and saw the remains of unknown animal bones at regular intervals on the ground. Some of them were bumpy and full of holes, like a honeycomb.

Not far away, there is a large skeleton that can be vaguely seen to be in the shape of a cow, and it is relatively well preserved.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately activated his magic power and stimulated his blood to send signals to the evil insects living in the snow valley.

This trick is indeed effective.

Just a moment later, a buzzing sound was heard in the snow valley.

Zhou Chun's spiritual sense also quickly captured the owner of the sound.

They were ferocious and fierce demon bees. Their appearance was exactly the same as described by Fu Changqing. The aura they exuded was wild and primitive, which was different from most other demon insects.

When Zhou Chunyi sensed the special temperament of this monster insect that was different from ordinary monster insects, he immediately realized that his guess might have come true. These monster bees might really be "Sky Frost Bees"!
This is because the monster insects on the "List of Strange Insects in Heaven and Earth" are almost all wild and strange insects that have existed since the ancient barbaric times. This wild and primitive temperament can be said to be their identity mark.

This made him happy instead of surprised. He looked at those evil bees with extremely fiery eyes, as if he was looking at some rare treasure.

Seriously speaking, the "Sky Frost Cold Bee" ranked 98th on the "List of Strange Insects of Heaven and Earth" is indeed a rare treasure that is priceless and even magic weapons cannot compare to it.

You should know that Han Yuan, a Jindan-stage insect cultivator, has searched hard all his life, but has never obtained any of the rare insects on the rare insect list.

If they were still alive, or if Qianlingmen was still around, as long as Zhou Chun could catch these "Sky Frost Bees" and trade them, they would probably be willing to exchange for two or three, let alone just one magic weapon!

After a few breaths, those demon bees suspected to be "Sky Frost Bees" flew to within a hundred feet of Zhou Chun, and then attacked him without hesitation.

They opened their mouths full of sharp teeth and spit out white cold arrows of varying thicknesses.

Because he wanted to test the strength of these demon bees, before they launched the attack, Zhou Chun had already used all his strength to activate the protective magic weapons and spells, and a layer of green light and a huge mountain of golden light appeared outside his body.

When those cold arrows hit the green light curtain, they immediately gathered into a ball and merged perfectly together.

Then with a crisp "bang" sound, the blue light curtain shattered instantly.

Then the cold air shrank inward and stuck to the giant golden mountain.

In just a few breaths, the huge golden mountain followed the green light curtain.

Then Zhou Chun inside was instantly wrapped in cold air and soon turned into an ice sculpture.

But just when those demon bees suspected to be "Sky Frost Bees" thought that their prey would die in their own cold air like their previous prey and were about to pounce on them to enjoy the delicacy that was delivered to their doorstep, an accident happened.

Zhou Chun, who had turned into an ice sculpture, suddenly had water vapor rising from his body and he returned to normal from being frozen.

Then he opened his mouth and a beam of white light spurted out of his mouth, fell into the air and turned into a white jade bead.

Seeing this, the demon bees that were suspected to be "Sky Frost Bees" were immediately frightened, and hurriedly spewed out the cold air that they had worked so hard to condense towards Zhou Chun.

But this time, before the cold arrows got close to Zhou Chun, they were suddenly guided by a huge suction force and shot towards the white jade bead, and were completely absorbed by it.

This time, the evil bees were completely frightened.

Even though they are not very smart, they know that they have encountered their natural enemy.

Then, led by a demon bee as big as a human head, the swarm of bees immediately turned around and ran away.

But just when they ran less than a hundred feet away, a strange roar that sounded like a cow's roar or a frog's croak suddenly resounded throughout the snow valley.

Shocked by the roar, the demon bees fell to the ground like dumplings, and each one was seriously injured.

Then the white gem automatically flew above the demon bees, and sucked out white cold air from the unconscious demon bees' bodies like a whale sucking water. Those were the innate cold air that they had condensed with great effort.

After a while, the cold air in the bodies of the demon bees was sucked dry and they posed no threat to Zhou Chun at all.

good chance!
Zhou Chun, who was the first to wake up from the roar, looked at the demon bees on the ground that were still dizzy and unable to take off, and an expression of extreme joy suddenly appeared on his face.

Then he rushed forward hastily, and with a wave of his hand, he produced jade boxes made of hundred-year-old ice jade. He put sealing talismans on the demon bees one by one, and threw them into the jade box individually to seal them.

In less than a cup of tea, a total of 156 suspected "Sky Frost Cold Bees" were all sealed by Zhou Chun and put into separate jade boxes.
