Chapter 38: Demonic insect is born? Explosive troops!
"Chaoyang is dead?"

"Yes, he died in the secret realm. Brother Shan has confirmed that someone saw Chaoyang's body in the secret realm. It seemed that his heart was gnawed by some insects."

Sister Nan, dressed in plain clothes, stood on the peak of No. 7, looking at the scenery in the distance with a complicated expression. In the end, she still failed to dissuade Lin Chaoyang.
When Qi Ping heard the news, he suddenly fell silent.

Although he had expected this, he still felt complicated when he heard the news.

He tried to persuade Lin Chaoyang for a long time a week ago, but still couldn't change Lin Chaoyang's determination to go.

It is true that success or failure is due to chance!

After all, Lin Chaoyang was not lucky enough, and all his luck was used up when he encountered a method of cultivating immortals.

In Qi Ping's opinion, taking risks to seek opportunities is similar to gambling to some extent. Many people always think that as long as they win once, they will think they can always win.

I never thought that if I lost, I would die.
Apart from the son of luck, who can guarantee that he will always win?
A familiar friend just died like this, which made Sister Nan and Qi Ping, who were also independent cultivators, feel a sense of grief.

Without the protection of Qingyuan Sect, independent cultivators are like grass in troubled times.

Although Lin Chaoyang took the initiative to go there this time, this was also a helpless choice with no way forward.
After adjusting her mood, Sister Nan continued:
"Now there is an even bigger problem, that is, a lot of demon insects have escaped from that secret realm."

"Demon insects? How many are there? How strong are they?" Qi Ping asked.

There is a difference between demon insects and monster insects. Demon insects can generally be called spiritual insects. They are usually similar to golden marrow bees and have their own territory. As long as they are not provoked, they will generally not actively attack monks.

But the demon insects are different. Cruelty, bloodthirstiness, and insidiousness are their characteristics, making them extremely dangerous to human monks.

[Spiritual Beast Cultivation: Demonic Insects] also describes the terrifying combat power and brutal character of the demonic insects.

Moreover, Qi Ping had a hunch that this kind of demon insect was most likely not within the scope of the Beastmaster Druid's ability to contract.

"I don't know the exact number, I just know that the number was huge. In the secret realm alone, many cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining died, and several cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining also died."

"It won't take long before these demon insects spread throughout Qingshi County, Baiyun County, and even the entire Qingtian Region..."

Speaking of this, Sister Nan's brows were already tightly furrowed. She naturally knew the horror of the demon insects.

Moreover, those who were in the late stage of Qi Refining all died. How many of these independent cultivators could save their lives if they encountered them?

"Why are there so many? What's the reaction from Qingyuan Sect?"

Qi Ping was shocked when he heard the number of magic insects.

Even cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining have died. If they encounter a terrifying number of demon insects, can the high-speed ring-cutting bees resist them?

What's more important is that it will take at least half a month to cultivate the high-speed ring-cutting bee army. If ordinary golden marrow bees fight against the magic insects, I'm afraid the result will not be very optimistic.
"I don't know the exact number, but the only thing I can be sure of is that there must be a lot of them. I heard that many cultivators in Qingshi County were attacked and killed by demonic insects in the past two days."

"Qingyun Sect and the three major families did take action this time and wiped out a large number of demon insects; but there are still more demon insects hiding, and even the foundation-building cultivators find it extremely difficult to search for them..."

Hearing this, Qi Ping frowned even more tightly. He didn't expect that the situation would have reached such a point in just one week!

"The Fusheng Association is planning to hold a general meeting tomorrow. Everyone is going to exchange information and discuss countermeasures. Let's go and take a look together tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Qi Ping nodded in agreement.

Naturally, he would not miss such an opportunity to obtain a lot of information.

After talking about the secret realm and the demon worms, Qi Ping turned the topic to Sister Nan:
"Sister Nan, have you broken through the fifth level of Qi Refining?"

"Thanks to you, I have made a breakthrough!" Sister Nan withdrew her Breath-Containing Technique, and the aura of the fifth level of Qi Refining was revealed.

The joyful expression on her face also expressed her happy mood at the moment.

The shackles of realm that had troubled her for a long time were finally broken through, and one can imagine how excited she was.

"Sister Nan is awesome!" Qi Ping praised.

Qi Ping originally planned to give some of the Golden Marrow Bees to Sister Nan, but facing the current situation where the demon insects were rampant, Qi Ping felt that it would be better to keep them for the High-Speed Ring-Cut Bees to use.

At worst, we can send some golden marrow bees and high-speed ring-cutting bees to Peak No. 5 to watch over them, so they can provide timely rescue when needed.

At the same time, Qi Ping also asked Sister Nan to pay attention to her crisis warning talent at all times. If there is any abnormality, she must come to him in time to be prepared for battle at any time...

After watching Sister Nan's back disappear, Qi Ping couldn't wait to return to the dense forest to check the cultivation status of the high-speed ring-cutting bees.

The sooner the high-speed ring-cutting bee army is trained, the sooner Qi Ping will have the trump card to deal with the magic insects.

The Golden Marrow Bee is good for dealing with ordinary mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators, but if it faces those demonic insects that are born for killing, it will most likely not have a good ending.

Facing these evil insects, the only effective method Qi Ping could think of was to increase the number of troops!

If a hundred high-speed ring-cutting bees can't defeat the magic worms, then five hundred will do!

If five hundred still can't defeat them, then one thousand! Or even more!
As long as those demon insects haven't reached the stage of building a foundation, the high-speed ring-cutting bees should still be able to fight them.

The demon bugs were born for fighting, but so were the high-speed ring-cutting bees. You’ll know who’s stronger after you’ve fought them…

But if the gap in strength is not that big, whoever has more people will naturally win!
At this time, the concern is no longer about whether breeding too many bee colonies will lead to excessive consumption of elixirs and golden marrow honey.

The most important thing now is to ensure that you can survive when facing the disaster of demon insects!

"Don't worry about the consumption of elixirs now. We must grow the high-speed ring-cutting bee larvae as quickly as possible!"

"Buzz. (No problem, boss!)"

"Buzz. (It will take at most half a month for the first batch of 200 high-speed ring-cutting bees to mature!)"

"Okay! When we encounter the demon bugs, it will depend on you whether you can defeat them!"

"Buzz Buzz. (Don't worry, Boss! Leave it to us!)"

Qi Ping felt a little relieved when he learned that it would only take half a month to breed a legion of up to 200 high-speed ring-cutting bees.

But then he arranged many golden marrow bees and black bees to keep an eye out for any movement nearby to prevent the intrusion of magic insects.

Afterwards, Qi Ping worked non-stop to accelerate the growth of the blood ginseng.

According to the previous quantity, the blood ginseng could not only supply the normal expansion and daily consumption of the bee colony, but also support the normal practice of him and Old Man Zhou, and even have a little surplus.

So at that time Qi Ping put more of his energy into improving his own cultivation.

But now, if Qi Ping wants to support the rapid growth of the girdling bees, he must spend more energy on cultivating blood ginseng. Otherwise, the elixirs and nectar collected by the golden marrow bees themselves will not be enough to support such huge consumption.

What surprised Qi Ping was that that very night, his skill of plant growth was finally upgraded thanks to his efforts!
