Wet viviparity

Chapter 200: Pupa, Father and Son
In the hillock, Ji Ming spent a month eating dirt, and now he can climb up by digging up the soft soil.

Of course, even if he didn't have the strength, he had other ways, such as his own [Spirit]. After going through the two stages of "nourishing Qi" and "refining Qi" in the process of refining essence into Qi, his primordial spirit was already strong enough.

Not to mention picking up mountains with the soul, picking up a handful of soil is no problem at all.

But the larvae’s body was too weak now, and Ji Ming did not dare to use his spiritual power easily. He could only lie dormant under the mound and spend the first month when he was the weakest.

At this time, he dug a path under the soft soil rich in sawdust, humus, and insect corpses.

In his slightly bloated body, the swallowed soil was distributed irregularly, mainly concentrated at the tail end. These were all feces that had been digested and were about to be excreted.

When he was about to reach the surface of the mound, his soul suddenly sounded an alarm, causing him to retract his head, which had just been stretched out.

A sharp object pierced into the soil fiercely, and with a fierce dig in the soil, like a long shovel, it picked out Ji Ming along with the soil that wrapped him.

Once the loose soil reaches mid-air, it immediately breaks down into loose soil, exposing the larvae inside.

The sudden change caused Ji Ming, who was suspended in the air, to wave the tentacles on both sides of his head. He tried to sense the opponent's position through the tiny vibrations in the air.

His degenerate single eye could only sense the intensity of light and could not see the attacker at all.

On a hill, the attacker had already crouched there, waiting for the larvae to fall. Although Ji Ming had sensed the attacker, he had no good way to deal with it.

"How could there be attackers in a small, enclosed temple?"

While continuing to fall, Ji Ming was still thinking about this question.

Below, a sharp object was pointed at him, like a spear ready to be fired. Ji Ming's soul was warning him frantically, stimulating the bristles on his insect body to stand up.

A "click" sound was heard, and the rhythmic vibration in the sound made Ji Ming wake up at once.

"Siguizi!"

Ji Ming did not deal with the mother turtle, because he calculated that it would die naturally within half a month. But it is obvious that it is alive and well now. Could it be that it is using its larvae to prolong its life?

Sensing the sharp object ready to strike, Ji Ming had no choice but to release his spiritual power.

The larva stopped falling, and the sharp object pierced nothing, but the opponent did not intend to give up. It opened the elytra on its back, and the membranous hind wings folded under the elytra spread out, driving the body to fly.

"Excessive!"

Seeing that this larvae's body could bear his spiritual power, Ji Ming felt a little relieved, but at the same time he developed a strong desire to kill this turtle.

The wings of the Siberian turtle made a constant clicking sound while it was flying. Ji Ming could easily determine its position. He used his spiritual power to pull the insect's body to hang on the hill, while the Siberian turtle was chasing closely behind it.

During the flying process, he discovered more wonderful uses for his spiritual power. He could release it to replace his hands and eyes to touch and see nearby objects. Although the distance was very limited, it was undoubtedly a great help to Ji Ming.

Ji Ming slowly and steadily flew over the hilltop and headed towards the stone drum stand supported by four animal feet.

At this moment, the stone drum seat looked like an insurmountable mountain, supporting the "world" of the small temple, and the celestial body lying on its side on the stone drum seat looked more like a giant.

"Click!"

The turtle seemed to be anxious, and the frequency of the vibration of its hind wings became faster and faster. The Y-shaped horn on its head emitted a faint light, and the magic power of the witchcraft had already dissipated.

The power of the soul pulled the insect body upwards violently. Fine sand attached to the milky white skin, gradually forming spots of soil, and then turned into large clods of soil.

Ji Ming's speed slowed down rapidly, and he was wrapped into a shell of earth. Such a mass exceeded the upper limit of his spiritual power.

The turtle grabbed the falling earth shell, but the larvae wrapped in the earth shell fell very fast, so he couldn't catch it. He hurriedly flew down, but unexpectedly the target suddenly bent and fell to the side. "Pah!"

A golden light flashed in the dark temple, and a beetle was divided into four or five pieces and fell down. The broken shells hit the Vajra Net in the empty room as they fell, and the golden light flashed again in the temple.

The larvae were wrapped in a shell of earth. When they were one or two meters above the ground, their falling speed slowed down and they slowly landed on the ground.

Even though he used the Vajra Net to kill the turtle, the earth shell wrapped around its body still did not disintegrate. He had no choice but to eat the hard earth shell on his body bit by bit.

Eating the earth husks was like eating a cold, hard pancake. After eating it, he felt extremely weak. Ji Ming quickly curled up and dug into the soil.

Soon, after squeezing out an ellipsoidal insect chamber in the soil with his body, Ji Ming fell into a deep sleep. Some changes were taking place in his body, and a new shell was growing under the surface.

During this process, the insect body keeps pupating and sheds its old skin bit by bit.

When Ji Ming woke up again, he felt that the weakness in his soul was gone, even the damage to the larvae's body caused by excessive use of his soul power was gone.

The spiritual power that interferes with reality is only a subtle feature that appears on the powerful soul after breaking through to the third realm. If it is in the body of a celestial being, such means can only be regarded as a small trick.

However, the larvae of this rhinoceros beetle have an extraordinary magical effect.

Another month and a half passed, and Ji Ming grew to the thickness of an adult's thumb, and shed his skin again in the middle.

He was now lying leisurely on the top of the hill, gurgling slowly in a small pit squeezed out by him, and taking deep breaths with nine pairs of sesame-sized valves on both sides open.

The small pit was filled with shell pearls, glowing with a hazy light.

The inspiration in these pearls was extracted bit by bit and continuously sucked into the valve.

At this time, Ji Ming was no longer eating dirt, but Polygonatum odoratum, the hundred-year-old Polygonatum odoratum that he had obtained in the Taoist assessment.

He ate a small portion of the Polygonatum sibiricum, and with the nourishment of the pearl's spiritual power, his body as a pupa appeared as warm as white jade. He could feel some wonderful changes, and the formation of these changes was still waiting for enough spiritual power to support it.

Outside the temple, footsteps were heard, and Shu Si once again delivered some bottles and jars on time, as well as shells, elixirs, fruits, etc.

When Shu Si left, in the dark temple, Ji Ming activated his spiritual power, pulled his fat insect body out of the pile of shells in the pit, and floated out through the lattice on the window frame.

"it's time!"

To return to the path of the monsters, one must pick up again the things that the monsters know, one is the Yin Feng technique, and the other is the Xiao Ruyi technique.

Among them, most spirits and monsters can learn the Yin Feng technique, and even realize it by themselves, but only specific spirits and monsters, or big demons, can learn the Xiao Ruyi technique.

During his first dream of the demon crane's reincarnation, he failed to learn the Little Ruyi Technique, even though he clearly remembered the "true form" of this magic in his mind.

The crane body does not have the legal means to learn the Little Ruyi technique. If one wants to learn it by force, one must refine the body and leave the stubborn body to practice this technique.

Outside the temple, the bottles and jars that were delivered one after another were filled with Yin Qi, extremely pure Yin Qi. These were for him to practice Yin Feng Technique as quickly as possible.

Looking back on the past, the true form of Yin Feng Shu was seen in the Fox Society of Hengshan. At that time, he relied on the Yin energy of the Fox Society tombs to practice it to perfection.

Now is not the time to recall the past, the power of the soul moved, accompanied by a series of light sounds, the bottles and jars were opened one by one, and gray-black floc-like air slowly rose from the bottle mouths.

The larvae, in the form of a pupa, flew over the bottles and jars one by one, with nine pairs of sesame-seed-like valves rapidly inhaling and exhaling negative energy.

Gradually, a cold air current was generated in the closed Shushi Cave, causing the bottles and jars to sway slightly left and right. Gradually, the wind became stronger and a little frost formed on the bottom of the bottles.
