A life of clearness

Chapter 118 The Insect Queen
"What on earth is this thing?" Rong Qing now became interested in studying it carefully.

"What do they eat? How long do they live?"

"...The most important thing is, what can its corpse be used for?"

Rong Qing and Fenghuang'er had killed so many insects that they had long since realized that there was nothing special about their corpses.

The skin was not tough enough to refine weapons, the flesh and blood were too dirty to refine pills. There was not even an inner pill.

This made Rong Qing feel really pity.

...You can't blame her for suddenly becoming obsessed with money, but she is under a lot of financial pressure.

As a result, now Rong Qing is thinking about how much she can sell everything she sees for.

"Although Chongyu said that the Sword Sect will not provide resources for free. However, if I find good materials, I can also exchange them with the Sword Sect for spirit stones and other things."

In this way, the number of spirit veins Rong Qing needs to find will be reduced.

Just as Rong Qing was still thinking, the scene in front of her suddenly lit up.

The giant insect rushed out of the tunnel and stretched out its body freely in a huge space.

The long insect body slithered on the compacted earth wall. And beside it, there were also giant insects crawling all over.

The faint fluorescence everywhere illuminated the entire huge space.

"Eh? Here..."

She had been here.

Even though the appearance has changed a little... to be precise, the reason for this change was caused by Rong Qing and the others.

She looked at the center of the space from afar. The queen insect whose half body was chopped off by Rong Qing did not die, but instead lay crookedly on the teleportation array base.

The wound was filled with dark brown mucus, which spread as if it was constantly repairing the queen's wound.

Rong Qing could even see the newly emerged insect legs trembling slightly in the mucus.

The fluorescence that filled the entire "nursery" was from the top-grade spirit stone. The luster was gentle and not dazzling, and in this insect cave, it gave people a dreamlike feeling.

A large amount of spirit stones were brought in by the giant insects and decorated at the key points of the teleportation formation.

The queen insect lying on the base of the array moved her body and pulled a large number of insect eggs to her side.

Seeing this, Rong Qing understood a little, "This means, he is going to run away."

Rong Qing was sure that the highest level of the insects here was probably only half a step into the state of transformation. In the Ruinuo Ruins where the state of transformation was everywhere, the strength of this giant insect nest was really not enough.

No wonder, once anything unexpected happens, it will be discovered and devoured by its "neighbors".

In the face of life and death, even the giant insect that seemed to be brainless in Rong Qing's eyes had extremely amazing mobility.

In a short period of time, piles of spirit stones were brought into this place by giant insects that emerged from all directions.

A teleportation array like this costs a lot of money, and only a Half-Step God can afford it. As for the Giant Insect Clan, after all, they are a clan that has been stockpiling in the Ruinous Ruins for a long time, so Rong Qing is not surprised that they have tens of thousands of high-quality spirit stones.

In fact, this number increased to hundreds of thousands as time passed, and Rong Qing was not surprised.

However, the giant insects roaming in the tunnel did not stop and continued to carry the spirit stones.

"Three hundred thousand."

"Half a million."

"Nine hundred thousand."

Rong Qing frowned.

This huge "nursery" was illuminated as bright as day by the light emitted by the spirit stone.

The Queen Insect, who was originally lying on the base of the formation, was lifted high up by the spiritual stones piled up beneath her, and her winding body tightly wrapped around the mountain of spiritual stones.

"This amount of high-quality spiritual stones is almost as much as half of a small spiritual vein." A small spiritual vein produces about five million. There will be a small amount of higher-level spiritual stones in the core of the spiritual vein. For example, a small high-quality spiritual vein will produce about ten thousand top-quality spiritual stones.

As for the top-grade spiritual veins, they are too rare. The Sword Sect has one, and Rong Qing believes that the one in Cangliuzhou should be the same.

The number of spirit stones piled on the array base was increasing visibly.

When Rong Qing thought of a possibility, her heart began to beat faster.

"The location of the giant insect nest is scarce in terms of resources, especially underground. However, to reach such a scale, it must have a spiritual vein."

Judging from the vast amount of high-quality spirit stones in front of him, it was most likely a high-quality spirit vein.

Therefore, even if the Queen of Insects wants to escape, she must take her spiritual vein with her.

At this moment, the queen insect that was squatting suddenly stretched out its body. Its body was dozens of times larger than that of an ordinary giant insect, so it rose from the ground like a pillar to the sky.

Rong Qing looked up and saw that the queen's head was almost touching the top of her head. Her mouth opened like a flower petal, and a stinging tongue extended from it. Unlike ordinary giant insects, the end of this stinging tongue split into three, rolling in the air.

A sound that Rong Qing could hardly hear roared out from the Queen Insect's mouth, sweeping across the huge space, passing through layers of tunnels, and echoing throughout the entire giant insect nest.

For the Queen of Insects to behave so abnormally, something must have changed.

Rong Qing made a judgment instantly, and her spiritual sense carefully followed the giant insects towards the gathering place.

A large number of armored beasts swept through one of the passages.

The giant insects on this side also drilled into the tunnel frantically. Even if they were no match for the Wujia beasts, their corpses gathered together could still block the small tunnel.

The giant insects are fearless and brave, and the armored beasts are no less capable.

A strange musical sound suddenly rang out, forming layers of echoes in the tunnel. These ferocious beasts gathered together. Unlike humans who practiced many magic techniques, they were almost unavoidable relying on their innate abilities.

At first, it was just a few strange tunes, but as time went on, the sound became more and more overlapping, as if leading the listener over the mountains and straight into the unknown sky...

Inside the body of the Wujia beast, which was tightly wrapped in scales, the powerful hearts beat louder and more violently.

The throat was shaking with low "Gu——" and "Gu——" sounds, like thunder.

They curled up their bodies, and the smooth scales on their bodies expanded, with edges as sharp as blades.

More than thirty armored beasts curled up into a ball and rolled forward. All the giant insects they encountered were pressed down by the force of their rolling, and then they were crushed by their scales and broken into several pieces.

Even so, the broken insect bodies were still entangled with each other, trying to block the way of the Wujia Beast, and more and more giant insects drilled in from the tunnel entrance to support it.

Rong Qing's spiritual awareness was withdrawn at once, but she had already known everything that happened inside the tunnel.

She lowered her eyes, not thinking that the giant insect's final struggle could stop the Wujia beast, especially with Fenghuang's help on the other side.

The music cultivation method of Dayue Mountain is indeed amazing. Especially for the fierce beasts whose savagery overwhelms their rationality, the effect is even better.

Of course, this is also closely related to the fact that the person playing the flute is a half-step god.

"Although we agreed before we came here that, except for Fenghuang'er getting the three exotic fruits used for body refining, the rest of the resources will be divided equally. The details can also be discussed."

"But..." Rong Qing looked at the Queen Insect who was standing tall, "It's related to the spirit vein, so I don't want to divide it up easily."

A spiritual vein...

Rong Qing's mind raced. Spiritual veins were originally in various strata, and human cultivators could use various exploration methods to find them. For fierce beasts, if they were not very intelligent, they could only occupy places with abundant spiritual energy as their territory. If they really wanted to find spiritual veins, these giant insects that moved underground would probably be the most convenient.

Although the queen insect in front of him looks ugly, but... she is very useful.

Rong Qing made up his mind, and with a flash of his body, he appeared near the Queen of Insects.

She clasped her hands together and layers of golden light ignited in her hands, reflecting the light in her eyes.

The Queen of Insects sensed the danger nearby and was about to react, but it was too late...
