Chapter 76 Altar Worm Corpse
"Mysterious cave? Keep going!"

At present, the distance between Qi Ping and the bee colony is still within the range of his special connection with his animal companions, so he can still command the movements of the bee colony in real time.

After receiving the order, the swarm of bees immediately flew in.

There were about ten bees who entered first. Once they entered, they felt the rich spiritual energy in the cave.

With the help of dark vision, the bees began to explore the scene in the cave according to Qi Ping's orders; dark vision is basically possessed by animals that can be rated as spiritual beasts, including cultivators at the first level of Qi Refining, but the strength of the dark vision varies.

But they had just entered for a while and had no time to find out any news when something unexpected happened in an instant.

Qi Ping had just ordered the bees to go in for a while when he felt a mysterious force trying to control the bees. Even his animal companion contract with the bees was disrupted.

"Is there something forcibly controlling the bees?" Qi Ping's face changed when he sensed this situation.

So Qi Ping hurriedly stopped the other bees that were about to enter.

This mysterious power is so strange that it can actually try to directly control the minds of bees!

The reason why Qi Ping's animal partnership contract with the bees was triggered was because that mysterious force was forcibly enslaving the bees!

"What kind of strange thing is in there?" Qi Ping frowned tightly when he sensed this situation.

It has been recorded in the classics that those who can achieve this level of control and enslavement are either extraordinary beings with extraordinary strength and means, or they are spirit beasts with king status in bloodline level, and have the talent to control lower-level spirit beasts.

But no matter which situation it is, it proves that the existence inside is not easy to deal with.

Fortunately, after the mysterious force lasted for a while, it did not shake the contract with the animal companions and gradually retreated.

This made Qi Ping breathe a sigh of relief.

This is probably the latter, because it is a being with extraordinary strength and means, and the consciousness of the hive would have been easily destroyed long ago.

Fortunately, the contract with an animal companion is much more stable than the ordinary blood contract.

The reason why beastmasters attach so much importance to cultivating the relationship between themselves and their spirit pets is because the method of blood contract has great drawbacks.

For example, if the spirit beast and the master hate each other, or have emotional problems, it is impossible for them to command their pets. What's worse, some spirit pets will drag their masters to death even if it means their souls collapse.
For example, some mysterious means can bypass this blood contract and forcibly cancel this ordinary blood contract.
Fortunately, this problem does not exist in Qi Ping. The animal companion contract is much more advanced and stable than the blood sacrifice method. This is the fundamental ability of the Beastmaster Druid profession.

"Keep investigating! Find out what's going on inside!"

After thinking for a while, Qi Ping gave the order again.

"Buzz buzz. (Yes, boss!)"

"Buzz buzz. (That big guy actually wants to enslave us by force! Damn it!)"

Soon, the situation in the cave was reported to Qi Ping one by one.

“Mysterious Altar.”

"Array. Chains." "Giant insect corpse. Bloody larvae."

After obtaining this information, Qi Ping quickly described the scene inside the cave.

It was a not very big cave, only about ten meters long and wide. The rock walls and overall appearance were not much different from those of ordinary caves.

The only special thing is that there is a mysterious bloody altar in the middle of the cave.

This circular blood-red altar is more than two meters long and wide. There are four spiritual stone pillars standing around the altar, and four spiritual chains are tightly bound to a huge insect corpse in the middle of the altar.

The corpse itself had no life at all. What just tried to control the bees was a fleshy, bloody worm on the huge insect corpse.

This blood-colored worm is about the size of a human, and there is a black worm-shaped mark between its eyebrows.
Inside the cave at this moment.

The bound blood-red insect on the altar looked at the bees with puzzled eyes.

Aren’t these the little bugs it summoned?
How can I not control it?
Logically speaking, a little creature of this level and size should have no chance of escaping its control!

Since waking up from its slumber during this period, it has woken up every three days and released special messages, preparing to attract the magic insects to this place, and then forcibly control them and use them to untie the restraints on itself.

By then, the sea will be wide enough for fish to leap and the sky will be high enough for birds to fly!

When Qi Ping outside learned the information described by the bees, his expression suddenly changed!
"The Four Saints Demon Raising Formation!"

This is a method of breeding demon insects that was briefly mentioned in the Demon Insect Breeding Manual.

This method of cultivation first requires the use of the corpse of a king-level bloodline spirit insect, combined with a variety of precious spiritual objects, and the larvae of the most ferocious demon insects, and then cultivated using the Four Saints Demon Breeding Array. It is an extremely mysterious and terrifying method of cultivation.

The biggest characteristics of this cultivation method are that it consumes materials, takes a long time, and has a low success rate.

But if the cultivation is successful, an extremely terrifying Demon Insect King will emerge!
This is also the reason why this method of cultivation is described as horrific. Only those who are absolutely insane would use this method of cultivation.

First of all, this method of cultivation takes a very long time, often hundreds or thousands of years, and ordinary cultivators cannot live that long.

Moreover, once this kind of demon insect king is bred, it is extremely difficult to control, and the risk of it devouring its master exists almost every moment.

Therefore, without absolute certainty, the people who cultivate this kind of demon insects are purely here to take revenge on the immortal cultivation world.

Once this kind of demon insect king is born, it can quickly increase its strength by devouring the bodies of demon insects or other spiritual beasts. This kind of strength can almost defeat any demon insect or most spiritual beasts of the same level in terms of single combat power.

Thick blood, high attack, high defense, and extreme ferocity are the characteristics of this type of demon insect king.

However, this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is the absolute enslavement and control that this demon insect king has over ordinary demon insects!
The ownerless demon insects have almost no control over the enslavement of the demon insect king, and even the demon insects with owners have a great probability of being forcibly enslaved!
Moreover, this kind of control is not limited to the magic insects, because this magic insect king devours the blood essence of the king-level blood spirit insects, and has extremely strong enslavement and demonization abilities for many ordinary spirit insects.

When they are well developed, a powerful Demon Insect King can control millions or even tens of millions of Demon Insects!
Once a demon insect disaster of this scale occurs, it will be an absolute disaster for the world of immortal cultivation.

In addition, the Demonic Insect King is extremely intelligent and cunning by nature. Whenever a demonic insect disaster of this level occurs, the consequence is likely to be corpses everywhere, and there will be no life wherever it passes.
