After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 576: Controlling Insects, Under the Gu River!
"Ding, hunted S-level snake [Red Flood Dragon]*1, obtained reward [Blood Essence Stone]*8, experience value +10000 points."

……

"Ding, hunted S-level snake [White Flood Dragon]*1, obtained reward [Blood Essence Stone]*8, experience value +10000 points."

……

Two prompt messages appeared, announcing the end of the lives of the red and white dragons.

After the six-winged centipede sucked the red dragon's brain marrow, it quickly ran towards the white dragon.

Flying centipedes like to suck brain marrow the most, especially the brain marrow of snakes, which they love the most.

As soon as he arrived, he encountered these two takeaways delivered to his door. It can be said that the six-winged centipede was even more excited than Chen Yang.

"Cool!"

I wonder how its tiny body can hold so much food.

Chen Yang ignored him and just waited by the side.

It had just broken through the Dao Zhen realm and had experienced heavenly thunder, so its body was extremely weak. It sucked the brains of two S-class dragons, which greatly helped to restore its physical weakness.

After a while, the six-winged centipede flew back and coiled on Chen Yang's shoulders contentedly. "It's great. It would be great if I could have this kind of blessing every day."

Chen Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You thought this thing was spicy noodles, and you can run into it every day."

The six-winged centipede was very unhappy. After eating, it felt very sleepy. It immediately crawled into Chen Yang's collar again. "I can't do it anymore. I need to take a nap. Boy, be careful."

Chen Yang shook his head and put the bodies of the red and white dragons into the system warehouse.

Although his inner elixir had been dug out, he was, after all, a great dragon in the realm of creation, and his body was full of energy, so it could be fully recycled and given to Qinzhou to make medicine.

Chen Yang did not stay any longer. He left Taiyi Palace and ran directly towards the Heavenly King Palace.

……

Temple of Heavenly Kings.

It is also the only palace in this huge underground palace that Chen Yang has not visited.

Whether it was the Three Corpse Divine Tree, Ma Yang Jiang Min, or the existence in the coffin on Old Coffin Mountain, they all gave Chen Yang reminders.

Don't go to the Heavenly King Palace. He can't control the things there.

Therefore, every time he came to the underground palace, Chen Yang took a detour and did not approach the Palace of Heavenly Kings at all.

But this time is different.

Something big must have happened at the Temple of Heavenly Kings. On the floor plan of the underground palace, the area near the Temple of Heavenly Kings has turned completely red.

The battle should be very intense.

Chen Yang approached cautiously.

While still in the corridor, he already heard a buzzing sound coming from the front.

Deafening.

The sound of insects flapping their wings, this sound, Chen Yang was very clear.

It's a bone-eating beetle.

The number is astonishing, at least tens of thousands.

He stood at the entrance of the corridor and looked in the direction of the Heavenly King Hall.

The swarm of bone-eating beetles covered the sky and formed a large black cloud.

They rushed towards the Heavenly King Palace frantically.

However, there seemed to be an invisible barrier in the direction of the Heavenly King Palace, and the swarm of insects could not break through it at all.

A large group of blood crows are shuttling outside the barrier, fighting the swarm of insects.

It’s Ma Yang, Jiang Min and others.

As the saying goes, there is always a conqueror. This group of blood crows can be considered the natural enemies of the bone-eating beetles. They live in the underground palace and often hunt bone-eating beetles.

However, they were at a great disadvantage in terms of numbers, and were still somewhat overwhelmed by the overwhelming swarms of bone-eating beetles.

As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. A large number of ants can kill an elephant, and natural enemies can also be killed by their prey.

The Blood Crows had already suffered casualties and had to retreat.

Yuan Jue and several other masters sat cross-legged in front of the palace gate, chanting scriptures continuously. The Zen sound mixed with mental power rushed out in waves.

A large number of bone-eating beetles fell from the sky, but they soon returned.

Hundreds of soldiers were blocking the palace gate, ready for battle.

These rampant soldiers have no advantage at all against the group of bone-eating beetles and can only passively take the beating, so they are only the last line of defense.

Yuan Jue and the others were sweating profusely. They took a pill from time to time to replenish their spirits, but they could not withstand such endless consumption.

It would be fine if they were just ordinary bone-eating beetles, but eight of them have already reached the realm of creation.

This insect was fierce and extremely ferocious, and under the leadership of the Insect King of the Creation Realm, its attack became more and more fierce, with no intention of stopping.

I don’t know what the situation is like inside the palace?

If they don't deal with it now, they will probably be dealt with by the group of insects in front of them.

Each of them is already on the verge of collapse, and is holding on with great willpower. If this continues, they will have to die here today.

Although Yuanjue and others were extremely anxious, they continued to recite scriptures.

Amid the buzzing sound of flapping wings, the sound of Buddha's chanting continues.

Suddenly, no one knew what happened inside the swarm. A group of insects changed direction and flew towards the corridor.

They seemed to have received some kind of summons, including five of them in the Creation Realm. They were originally organizing an attack, but suddenly changed direction and flew into the corridor ahead.

In an instant, a large group of tens of thousands of bone-eating beetles was missing.

Yuanjue and others suddenly felt the pressure greatly reduced.

But none of them were happy. The sudden movement of the Zerg made them wonder if they were playing some tricks or changing their tactics.
Sure enough, after a while, the swarm of insects that had just flown away flew back from the corridor.

Yuanjue and others felt a tightness in their hearts.

Is this to make them relax and then launch a surprise attack?

Can such a simple method fool us?
The few of them had a very good understanding of each other. They immediately pushed their mental strength to the extreme, preparing to face the crazy counterattack of the insect swarm.

However, just when they were all on high alert, things developed in a way that was somewhat beyond their expectations.

The swarm of insects that flew back seemed to be crazy and actually attacked the swarm of insects that stayed behind.

In just a few breaths, the swarm of insects seemed to split into two groups and rebelled.

Yuan Jue and others were completely confused by this scene.

Why did they suddenly start to fight among themselves?

However, they did not dare to let their guard down, for fear that these insects were acting.

Show them how it works, and then take advantage of the opportunity to attack.

This is not impossible.

But gradually, Yuanjue and others realized something was wrong.

These bugs fought too fiercely. Even the eight beings in the Fate Realm joined in. It was five against three, and the fight was fierce.

The flock of blood crows were also confused and had no idea which side to help, so they simply retreated and let them devour each other.

Yuan Ming was sitting not far away, with veins bulging on his forehead. "It is said that when the population of bone-eating beetles reaches a certain size or encounters a crisis, they will trigger an evolutionary process of devouring each other..."

He murmured, but it was a reminder to others.

Don't take it lightly. The sudden action of the Zerg may be a sign of their desire to evolve. They have been unable to defeat the enemy for a long time, so perhaps they want to evolve into a bigger one.

After hearing his reminder, everyone did not dare to delay and took medicine to restore their strength while the insect swarm was fighting among themselves in order to prepare for the fierce fight that would follow.

"Buzzing..."

The two swarms of insects fought fiercely, and large numbers of insects died.

Finally, one of the parties decided to retreat and, led by three beasts in the Creation Realm, turned around and flew away.

"Buzzing..."

Three thick black clouds, with a buzzing sound, headed straight towards the Gu River.

The remaining swarm of insects did not pursue further, but turned around and flew into the dark corridor ahead.

The scene fell silent instantly.

Only Yuanjue and a few others were still chanting.

"This……"

Everything in front of them made everyone stunned.

Is this still acting?

What the hell are these bugs doing?

The sudden silence made them even more defensive, and they became extremely nervous.

Just at this moment, footsteps were heard in the corridor.

Everyone's eyes were looking towards the corridor ahead.

A figure soon appeared at the entrance of the corridor.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

But when they saw who it was, their faces showed a look of complete surprise.

"Chen Yang?"

Everyone was stunned.

They were even prepared to welcome Xiao Sanhuai, but it was Chen Yang who came out.

I suddenly felt like I was being lifted up high and then quickly thrown down.

……

-

"Ding, a total of 5 S-level [Bone-eating Beetles] were hunted this time, and 5 [Blood Essence Stones] were rewarded, 50000 experience points were obtained, and the insect control proficiency was 5000 points.

"Ding, a total of 42 A-level [Bone-eating Beetles] were hunted this time, and 42000 experience points were obtained, and the insect control proficiency was 4200 points."

"Ding, a total of 501 B-level [Bone-eating Beetles] were hunted this time, and 50100 experience points were obtained, and the insect control proficiency was 5010 points."

"Ding, a total of 6520 C-level [Bone-eating Beetles] were hunted this time, and 65200 experience points were obtained, and the insect control proficiency was 6520 points."

"Ding, a total of 22500 D-level [Bone-eating Beetles] were hunted this time, 52500 experience points were obtained, and the insect control proficiency was 5250 points."

……

A long list of information appears along with the system prompt.

Chen Yang was dazzled.

The experience pack is an experience pack, what a surprise.

With just this one battle, the experience points alone increased by 296 or , and bottles of [Insect Growth Essence] were also obtained as rewards.

The number of bone-eating beetles under his control and those he had just killed in the battle was nearly 30,000, including five in the Creation Realm.

Chen Yang couldn't help but feel fortunate that his insect control technique had been upgraded. Otherwise, facing the situation just now, he really wouldn't know how to deal with it.

Unfortunately, the current upper limit of the insect seed bag can only hold 20,000 insects, resulting in a large number of bone-eating beetles escaping. Otherwise, the harvest this time would definitely be more abundant.

Now, the bag of insect seeds around his waist is bulging. Apart from the ones that just died in the battle, there should be about 18,000 left.

Adding the two thousand or so he originally had, there were only about twenty thousand of them.

There are 5 S-level bone-eating beetles, and including the A-level ones he had tamed before, there are already 135.

The combat power can definitely be considered terrifying.

Unfortunately, he was still too cautious and followed the system's advice, only controlling five of them.

There were quite a lot of insects that ran away, and Chen Yang didn't mean to kill them all at this moment. At least he would leave some seeds for them. This experience package could be kept, and it would not be too late to harvest them when they grew up.

In front of the Heavenly King Palace, the ground was covered with a thick layer of insect corpses.

Chen Yang felt a little distressed. If you let me hunt this thing, how much experience would that require?

What a waste.

……

"Boy, why is it you?"

Wang Yuanchao was standing behind the group of soldiers and was also very surprised to see Chen Yang.

"Isn't it me?"

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Masters, what are you doing?"

Yuan Jue and others stood there in a daze. For a moment, they didn't know how to answer him.

"Didn't you encounter that group of bugs?" asked the two-headed blood crow.

"Bugs? No."

Chen Yang shook his head. He didn't want to explain too much, so he denied it directly to avoid wasting his breath. "What about the others?"

In one sentence, he changed the subject.

Wang Yuanchao pointed to the Heavenly King Hall behind him, indicating that everyone was inside.

At this time, Chen Yang had already walked over and went straight to the door.

Wang Yuanchao quickly stopped him and said, "Boy, it's dangerous in there. Director Qiao and the others are in there. They will come out once we're done."

Several senior monks sat there without moving. They had to remain on guard to prevent the swarm of insects from coming back.

Chen Yang stopped and waited for a moment, but there was no movement inside.

I couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, so I immediately opened the floor plan of the underground palace and took a look.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked. After looking at it, Chen Yang's face changed slightly and he immediately ran towards the Heavenly King Palace.

"Hey……"

Wang Yuanchao shouted, Chen Yang's strength was so great that he couldn't stop him at all.

By the time I reacted, Chen Yang had already entered the hall.

“Hey, this…”

The hall was completely empty. Where was the human figure?

On the high platform, there was a bronze coffin, and the coffin lid had already flown away.

There was nothing in the bronze coffin.

Broken chains and branches were scattered everywhere on the ground in the hall.

The traces of fighting are very clear, it must have been a fierce fight just now.

"What about people?"

Wang Yuanchao looked stunned.

Where are all the people? I clearly heard some noise inside just now.

Could it have disappeared in the blink of an eye?

There are many water stains on the ground.

Chen Yang set his eyes on the square pool in front of the platform.

"Gurgling..."

Just then, bubbles began to emerge from the pool.

A bald man suddenly jumped up from under the water.

Chen Yang hurriedly took two steps back.

"Master Yuanlong."

Only when the person in the water climbed out did Chen Yang see clearly that the person was Yuan Long.

"Cough cough..."

Yuanlong must have choked on the water and coughed violently for a while.

After finally coming to his senses, he could see clearly that it was Chen Yang.

"Why did you come down?" Yuan Long squeezed the water off his body and his eyes fell on Chen Yang.

Chen Yang did not answer, but asked, "Master, what happened? Where are the others?"

"cough."

Yuanlong briefly explained what happened.

Just now, when they were about to seal the Gu God, that madman Zhang Guohua suddenly appeared and attacked them.

Everyone was caught off guard and their rhythm was disrupted, which gave the Gu God in the bronze coffin a chance to escape.

That madman Zhang Guohua also took advantage of the chaos to run away.

A group of people quickly jumped into the pool to chase after him. There was a passage at the bottom of the pool, but no one knew where it led to.

Although Yuanlong was very capable, he was a poor swimmer. After diving for a distance, he couldn't hold his breath any longer. Fearing that he would drown, he fell back.

"Master, let's go."

If we let that thing run away, what would happen? Chen Yang ran outside immediately without saying anything.

"Go? Where?"

Yuanlong was wringing the water out of his body and was startled when he heard Chen Yang's words.

This little guy is in such a hurry, what is he doing?
"I know where it is."

Chen Yang left the Heavenly King Palace after saying this.

"you know?"

Yuanlong was stunned, but he didn't dare to delay and quickly ran out.

Only Wang Yuanchao was left standing there in a mess.

……

Chen Yang opened the floor plan of the underground palace, which showed two big red exclamation marks.

One of them is located in Miaoshu Palace and has never moved, while the other one is moving quickly towards the east.

No need to ask, it must be the Gu God that ran away.

Monk Yuanlong followed Chen Yang closely, and behind him were Yuanjue, Yuanming and others.

Everyone had a tense expression and no one asked why. Yuan Jue, Yuan Ming and others believed in Yuan Long, and Yuan Long also instinctively trusted Chen Yang.

After all, this little guy could beat Xiao Sanhuai to death, so what else can't he do?
Not far from the Heavenly King Palace, there is a corridor between the Miaoshu Palace and a stone gate at the end of the corridor. Behind the stone gate is the Gu River.

The exclamation mark on the map is heading towards the Gu River. If it crosses the Gu River, it will be out of the display range of the map.

By then, without the help of the map, it will be difficult to find him again.

After a while, the group arrived in front of the stone gate.

The stone door was closed, so Chen Yang kicked it open.

There was a bang.

The stone door suddenly opened.

A dusty smell lingered at the tip of my nose, and behind the stone gate was a huge cave.

It was pitch black all around, without a single bit of light. After checking with the radar, Chen Yang immediately had a three-dimensional picture in his mind.

A river about 20 to 30 meters wide flows quietly from left to right. The ground on both sides of the river is uneven and there are rugged stalactites everywhere.

Gu River.

No one knew how this river worked, but it circled around the entire East Palace like a moat, endlessly, day and night.

Chen Yang looked at the map.

There are still a large number of red forks in the Gu River, but these red forks are not in this direction.

However, the conspicuous exclamation mark is very close to Chen Yang's current location, and its position on the map almost overlaps with him.

It's in the Gu River in front of us.

Chen Yang immediately became alert, fearing that the King of Heaven Gu would suddenly attack.

The radar probed into the Gu River.

The expression on Chen Yang's face became somewhat interesting.

"what?"

The expression on Yuanlong's face changed slightly, and he obviously discovered something unusual under the Gu River.

"Master Yuanlong, how good are you at swimming?" Chen Yang turned around and looked at Yuanlong.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. It seemed that none of them were very good at swimming. They were a bunch of landlubbers.

"It should be possible to hold your breath for a few minutes." Yuan Long said awkwardly.

"enough."

Chen Yang said, "There is a crack under the water, and there is a stone chamber on the side of the crack. Everyone, follow me closely and don't get washed away by the current."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yang took the lead and jumped into the Gu River.

Everyone looked at each other, then jumped down, pinching their noses.

……

The water in the Gu River is icy cold. There is an obvious crack at the bottom of the river. When the water flows here, it falls rapidly, but it cannot be seen on the water surface at all.

The falling water forms a dark vortex with a very strong suction force. If you are not careful, you can easily be sucked away.

If it were sucked away by the underwater abyss, there's no telling where it would appear.

Chen Yang was not afraid and went straight towards the whirlpool.
