Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 199 Another Insect

Qiu Ci directly released her divine sense, and then her divine thought transformed into a line that went towards the other person's brow, entering the other person's sea of ​​consciousness almost instantly.

The so-called sea of ​​consciousness is also the sea of ​​consciousness of a cultivator, but it is not really an ocean. The scenes inside vary from person to person. For some, it is a desert, for others a volcano, and for others a dense forest, depending on the other person's state of mind.

Miao Jia's sea of ​​consciousness was a vast grassland, a green sea of ​​undulating hills stretching out before her, full of vitality. But at this moment, this vitality was being disrupted by something.

Perhaps due to her hidden injuries, deep, bottomless ravines appeared on the grassland, and the grass beside the ravines was withered and yellow, as if death had been tainted into this vitality.

Qiu Ci glanced at this sea of ​​consciousness. It would be too difficult to find the system's main body in such an endless grassland, but luckily, she had a cheat code!

"Dog system, scan the location of that system."

【Yes, Master!】

The small ball of light flew out in an instant, beeped twice, and a surge of energy swept across the entire sea of ​​consciousness. In less than two seconds, it let out a cry of surprise.

"Master, I've found it!" he said, and flew toward a patch of grass on the right.

The next moment, a flash of silver light appeared in the grass, and something shot out first, fleeing towards the sky.

Fortunately, Qiu Ci was prepared, and Juan Shan had already sealed Miao Jia's sea of ​​consciousness, so that thing couldn't escape at all. It was bounced back by a barrier as soon as it flew into the sky.

[Trying to run away?! Behold my 100,000 Volts!] Suddenly, a crackling sound came from the dog group's body, and bolts of electricity shot out towards the silver light. The silver light was hit squarely and fell down with a crackling sound.

Upon closer inspection, she discovered that it was actually a silvery-white insect, different from the one that had bound Di Zifan. This one was noticeably half the size, only about half the size of a palm, and its shape resembled a ladybug. It also didn't seem to have as much energy.

"Why is it another bug? It looks like a parasite," the dog group said disdainfully.

Isn't it just a parasite?

Qiu Ci used a hand seal to trap the insect system whose life or death was unknown before looking at the dog system, "What was with that 100,000 volts you just used?"

Dog Group froze for a moment before awkwardly replying.

"I absorbed 949's worth of energy before, so here I am, a tiny little upgrade." It separated a fingernail-sized ball of light from the ball of light and placed it on its head, indicating that it was indeed a small upgrade.

Qiu Ci didn't bother with it. No matter how much it upgraded, the dog didn't seem very smart. She checked Miao Jia's sea of ​​consciousness again to make sure there was nothing she had missed before grabbing the system bug and exiting the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Alright, that's all," Qiu Ci reminded him.

Miao Jia slowly opened her eyes, her gaze immediately fixed on the silvery-white insect in her hand. "Senior, could this be...?"

"Hmm." Qiu Ci nodded. "This is the so-called system residing in your sea of ​​consciousness." "It's such a disgusting thing controlling me." Miao Jia was furious, her eyes filled with murderous intent as she looked at the insect. She was a proud daughter of heaven, and if it weren't for the system's deception and control, how could she be willing to be a sycophant in other people's eyes? Now that she knew the truth, she naturally wished she could tear the other party to pieces.

"There are a few things I need to confirm." Qiu Ci didn't hand the insect over to Miao Jia to handle, but instead gave the order in his mind, "Damn system, hack into this insect's database."

【Yes, Master!】

The dog system immediately flew towards the insect and instantly merged into it. Rows of data flashed across its silvery-white body. This time, it was very fast, and in just a few breaths, it had completely absorbed the insect's data.

[Master, I have fully received the insect's data. Please take a look.]

As he spoke, a light screen suddenly popped up in front of him.

The first line at the top reads: Plunder System Q53; Host: Huo Yanting; Plunder Target: Miao Jia (5D32F Continent); Current Plunder Progress: 85%.

Qiu Ci and Juan Shan were both shocked. This was actually a plundering system. No wonder Miao Jia was in such a terrible state; not only had her cultivation regressed, but she was almost on the verge of losing her path to immortality. Moreover, their previous guess was correct; the true owner of the system was Huo Yanting.

He knew about the system's existence from the beginning, and even placed it on Miao Jia himself. He used the guise of a strategy mission to make her give endlessly, giving her spiritual roots and resources, and even asking her to help him withstand a lightning tribulation, which almost cost her her life in the end.

The key point is that despite receiving so many benefits, he showed no gratitude to Miao Jia whatsoever, pretended to be unaware of her situation, treated her like a sycophant, and allowed those around him to ridicule and despise her.

Qiu Ci couldn't help but sigh, "What a hypocritical and despicable man!"

She didn't hide anything and directly told Miao Jia the information displayed on the system.

Perhaps having already guessed this, Miao Jia was not as agitated as before. Instead, she remained calm and simply reminded her, "Senior, do you have a way to destroy this harmful thing?"

"Of course!" Qiu Ci made a hand gesture, and the insects on the ground instantly turned into ashes. Anyway, the data had already been extracted, so there was no point in keeping it.

"Thank you, senior." Miao Jia gave her a strange bow, which should be the custom of their continent. She was also very respectful to Qiu Ci. After all, she would not think that someone who had subdued an eighth-level demon beast with one hand was only a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"No need to be polite, I said I would help you get rid of the system." She waved her hand dismissively.

Juan Shan, standing nearby, felt some sympathy for the little girl after seeing the information. He stepped forward and said, "Let me unlock the seal on your sea of ​​consciousness first." Since the system had been captured, there was no need to unlock it. He directly made a hand seal to unlock it, and after thinking for a moment, his hands flew again, instantly activating dozens of spells in succession.

He directly flicked his finger at the other's brow, and Miao Jia immediately felt a coolness on her forehead. Some energy was transmitted throughout her body, and her collapsing consciousness began to gather, as if some shackles had been broken. Something that had been binding her for a moment completely dissipated.

"This is..." Miao Jia was stunned, her eyes widening in disbelief as she realized that the constant pain she had felt ever since being injured by the lightning tribulation seemed to have completely disappeared.

"I merely dispelled the oppressive force left by the tribulation within you," Juanshan replied in a deep voice. "If you cultivate diligently in the future, you may return to the Nascent Soul stage, but you will need to rest and recuperate for at least two years first."

In other words, her cultivation will not decline any further, and her path of cultivation can continue!
Miao Jia's eyes immediately reddened, and she knelt down before the two men, saying, "Thank you so much for your great kindness, seniors."
