I use myths to create immortality

Chapter 3: Insect Soldiers Search the Mountains and Seas

In the early morning, Ji Yuan woke up from a daze and felt a little numb in the mouth.

I couldn't help but bite what I was holding in my mouth. It was soft and crispy.

I licked it with my tongue and it tasted like rotten wood pulp.

"Pooh!" Ji Yuan opened his eyes and spat out the rotten wood residue in his mouth.

Qin Yueru is a girl who has been used to my bad habits.

Now even the awakened 'wisdom' cannot be changed.

Did I always sleep like this in her arms before?

Turning over and facing the wall, hugging the bag, Ji Yuan closed his eyes again.

My mind gradually sank into the bag, and vaguely, it seemed that countless thoughts emerged in my heart.

It is chaotic and crowded.

It is extremely weak and extremely lively.

"Hmm? Is this the consciousness of those insects?" Ji Yuan was a little curious.

It was as if I had countless pairs of eyes, all in darkness.

I forced myself to resist the urge to open the skin and let these bugs out.

Ji Yuan tried to use his mind to direct these thoughts to move in the sac.

"A lot of bugs died overnight. Now there are only 3,600 bugs left."

Compared to last night, the mosquitoes and flies in the sac have become much larger, and at this moment, the remaining mosquitoes are still fighting each other.

The dead will soon be devoured by the remaining mosquitoes.

As soon as Ji Yuan's thoughts left his mind, the insects in the sac immediately stopped biting and became quiet, responding to him with only countless lively thoughts.

"Die!" Ji Yuan communicated with [Centipede Bee Bag] through his mind and destroyed one of the thoughts at will.

"Puchi" a slight explosion sound seemed to be heard in the invisible air.

There is one less mosquito in the sac.

"Eat!" Ji Yuan gave another command in his mind.

Soon, one could sense the dead body of the mosquito and fly being devoured by the remaining insects.

"Very good, very good. This way we don't have to worry about it getting out of control. Mysterious, wonderful!"

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a rustling sound on the bed behind me.

"Sister-in-law, are you awake?"

"woke up."

"You didn't seem to sleep well last night."

Qin Yueru rubbed her dark circles and nodded, then put on her clothes and stood up: "Are you hungry? I'll go make you some porridge."

"What's wrong with you? Why are you always turning your back to me?"

"Um... well... I'm practicing martial arts. You can go cook the porridge first."

……

After eating the clear millet porridge, Ji Yuan walked out of the door carrying the leather bag.

Because Wu Dagui will come to ask for someone tomorrow, Qin Yueru originally planned to hide in her mother's home in Qingtang today.

But Ji Yuan stopped him: "You don't have to hide from him. I will go and cause trouble for him when I come back."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going into the mountains and will be back in the afternoon."

"Then I'll come with you. There are many poisonous snakes in the mountains, and I'm worried about you."

"No, I'll just walk around the edge of the mountain, it's fine."

Having said that, Ji Yuan strode out of the yard.

About 70 or 80 steps away is the Shiliting village, with two rows of sparse, low-rise earthen-walled houses, totaling about 20 households. Behind the village is the long and steep Wolong Ridge.

"Second kid! Come here and help us dig out the bird's nest!" A dozen kids saw him from afar and ran over.

There were boys and girls, the youngest was four or five years old, the oldest was eight or nine. Some had messy hair, some were skinny with big bellies, and some were sniffing snot bubbles.

But without exception, they were all naked.

"Go away, go play somewhere else." Ji Yuan waved his hand and pushed them away.

"If you don't get out of here, I'll shoot you!"

"Hehe, I don't have any bull."

"If you don't, I'll spank you!"

“Run, run, the second kid who was caught by lightning turned out to be a monster. He is not stupid anymore…” The little kids were so scared that they ran away.

After leaving the village and walking into the shade of the trees, the population gradually became sparse. Gradually, we entered a mountain forest with towering ancient trees and deep vines.

Birds were singing in the cypress bushes on both sides, and there was an occasional rustling sound among the dead leaves.

Ji Yuan was breathing heavily, looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he sat cross-legged on the ground, made a few finger gestures, and opened the centipede bee bag.

A buzzing sound was heard, and black insects the size of green beans fluttered their wings as thin as cicada wings and flew out of the skin.

Compared to last night, there were all kinds of strange things, big and small mosquitoes, flies, moths and wasps.

After one night, these insects have now transformed into bee-like shapes of similar size, with black shells, small heads and big bellies.

Their means of attack are their sharp pliers-like mouthparts and their tails like steel needles.

As the insects flew out of the skin and scattered, in an instant, many invisible sensations seemed to appear in my heart.

It is indescribable, it is like having countless pairs of eyes that can observe from 720 degrees in all directions without blind spots, but there is no color.

It's more like some kind of mysterious sense than eyes.

Use insect antennae to sense the surroundings.

Even within a certain range, it is more sensitive than the eyes.

It can sense the ants crawling under dead leaves, the mealworms wriggling in the trees, and the birds under the leaves of the bushes.

All living things are exposed.

"This is more magical than I thought..." Ji Yuan tried to adapt to this new perspective.

Mind turning.

More than 3,600 densely packed insects gathered into a ball of black smoke as big as a washbasin, which flew up and down, and floated left and right about ten feet above the ground.

Sometimes they form rows like a military formation.

Sometimes it breaks into small pieces and flies in the sky.

Sometimes it turns into a tornado and passes by in a whirlwind.

The sounds of flapping wings, buzzing, rubbing of shells, and hissing echoed for miles around, startling the birds and beasts and making them fly away in panic.

In the bushes a few dozen steps away from Ji Yuan, a gray dove flapped its wings and was about to fly.

"Coo!" The next moment, a basin-sized black smoke swept in, densely wrapping the gray doves, from which came the doves' terrified screams.

The sounds of "squeak" and "squeak" of biting rang out.

After a few breaths, the black smoke dissipated.

A pile of bones, covered with tendons, horns and shreds of meat, were scattered all over the ground.

"Hmm? After devouring the flesh and blood, the insect's power has actually increased a little bit..." Ji Yuan was surprised.

So what are you waiting for! Let the beast out to devour and kill at will.

Black smoke swirled and whistled through the forest.

Hamsters, squirrels, cuckoos, pheasants, hares, snakes...all kinds of small animals turned into bones.

Soon, within a mile, the silence was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

There was dead silence, with only scattered flesh and bones.

"Collect!" Ji Yuan pinched his fingers and put all the insects back into the bag.

After a careful check, there were 3,652 of them, not a single one missing.

Each of them had a bloated belly and was snoring in his stomach.

He controlled an insect to fly out and put it into his palm for him to watch.

The insect's body shape has not changed, but its shell is obviously much stronger; its mouthparts and spikes are black and shine with the light of gold and iron, giving a feeling of being sharp.

Ji Yuan squeezed the shell hard with his hands, and the shell made a sound, but it was extremely solid, like a rock, and could not be broken at all.

Then he put it on a stone and smashed it hard with the stone until the insect was smashed into meat paste.

"It's still not a centipede bee, but it's dozens of times stronger than the mosquito and fly it was yesterday."

A real centipede is as big as a fist, and is difficult to be harmed by magical weapons. It is immune to water and fire. That is what makes it truly ferocious.

“Anyway, now I have trained thousands of magic soldiers, hehe…” Ji Yuan was secretly happy.

In the mythology of the previous life, the [Black Killer Star] was said to be able to control millions of demonic soldiers, and was good at subduing demons and monsters, and searching the mountains and seas.

"Just now, when I was controlling the insect, it seemed that I could only patrol within a thousand meters, but I did find a lot of good things." Ji Yuan stood up.

I walked to an old cypress tree as thick as a bucket, pushed aside the vines and thatch, and revealed a plant about a foot tall with diamond-shaped leaves.

"[Snake Blood Orchid] grows under the shade of trees by the roadside. It can disperse blood and dissolve blood stasis, and treat injuries from falls. It is picked in spring and summer, and one pound is worth twenty coins."

Ji Yuan happened to recognize this herb.

As I recall, many people in the village would go up the mountain to look for this grass in the summer, which they could sell for money. They could also crush it and apply it to people with bruises and injuries, and it had a very good effect.

It is the favorite of many children.
