There was nothing wrong with what the eldest sister said. She dared to act alone at a time like this, and several people were willing to believe that she had some confidence.
But... there are high-level soul-eating insects everywhere. If we are discovered, we will be dead!
Wouldn't it feel safer to stay with your teammates at this time?
"You don't think," Zhou Yu lowered his head and said softly, "that it's too dangerous for us to follow her to find the queen... I'm not weak either, and I won't hold you back."
"How could that be?" The eldest sister laughed, "I'm just telling the truth. Your ability to escape combined may not be as strong as mine. That's it, hurry up!"
After some hesitation, the three of them reluctantly agreed to Tang Xin's plan.
They all knew more or less the methods of the senior sister and understood that she never shot without purpose. Since she made such a decision, she must have her reasons.
"Be careful."
Zhou Yu said.
Tang Xin nodded, looked around, found an opportunity, broke away from the formation, and secretly headed into the mountain.
As soon as she left her teammates' sight, she immediately used the Snow Escape Technique and moved forward quickly.
This mountain doesn't look big, but it is hollow inside and has intricate passages that extend to nowhere.
Because the target's mental power was strong, Tang Xin could not use his soul to explore, so he could only try his luck and randomly chose a passage to enter.
Soul-eating insects seemed to have no aesthetic sense. The passage was opened rather roughly and there were no signs, which made her curious about how the insects determined the direction.
Following a team of humanoid soul-eating insects that looked like guards, Tang Xin made a long circle in the passage and finally arrived inside the mountain.
The entire mountain has been hollowed out by the Soul-Eating Insects and transformed into a nest structure. Countless Soul-Eating Insects are shuttling back and forth inside. None of them are very big and don't even seem to have much fighting power.
"Where is the queen insect..."
Tang Xin hid his body, ambushed in the mountain wall, and carefully observed the insects passing by.
Until something appeared and surprised her.
"Chi chi chi?"
"Chi chi chi chi!"
Two teams of humanoid soul-eating insects walked in from one end of the passage, chatted with each other for a few words, and then handed an item to each other.
That's a person.
Soul-eating insects can also capture prisoners?
In previous battles, they always killed whatever they caught, and after plundering everything, they turned all the nutrients into water for the bioremediation pond.
The human being tied up by them looked extremely weak and dying, with his body full of unknown fragments. Even if a powerful person who had transcended the tribulation came, it would be difficult to save him.
After locking onto this team, Tang Xin followed them again, passing through several places that looked like "breeding rooms" for elite soul-eating insects, and finally came to a large underground space.
On the high platform in the center, a fat soul-eating insect with no limbs but only tentacles, which looked somewhat disgusting at first glance, was twisting its body.
After the humanoid soul-eating insect brought the captive over, it immediately retreated.
"Human," a human voice came out from the front of the tentacle-eating soul-eating insect, which looked like its head, "You have two choices now. Answer the questions I want to know, and I can kill you. Or I can reach my tentacles into your head, search for the things I want to know, and make you live a life worse than death."
"If you want to kill me... then kill me," the human captive lying on the ground gritted his teeth and replied with difficulty, "Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"Why bother?" The Soul Devouring Insect stretched out a tentacle, grabbed the person on the ground, and continued, "You are going to die anyway. Everything that happens after this has nothing to do with you. Why not let yourself die more easily?"
"Stupid, ****!"
This guy was tough enough. He didn't waste time with the other party and directly spoke a language that the Soul-Eating Insect couldn't understand.
Of course, this obviously would not anger the tentacle worm.
"I'll give you one more chance," the Soul Devouring Insect extended a few more tentacles, which were covered with hard substances like sharp blades, which made people's scalps numb. "What on earth are you researching? Why do the Ancestor Insects feel dangerous?"
"Go to hell, bug..."
The man gave the tentacle worm a middle finger.
Tang Xin hid in the shadows, listening to the conversation between the two sides, and couldn't figure out the situation for a moment.
This tentacle worm must be the queen worm. It seems to have complete intelligence and knows how to use psychological tactics.
However, this psychological tactic is relatively simple. It gives a choice, which clearly means that forced memory search cannot achieve the best effect, and the other party must reveal it voluntarily.
And judging from this person's attitude, he might be telling a lie, which would be discovered by the bugs.
"You are simply not human. You don't even care about your own survival." The queen insect's knife-carrying tentacle circled around the captive's ear, trying to increase the pressure. "Blood Palace... This human force, it seems necessary to study it specifically."
ha?
Is the guy in front of me from the Blood Honor Palace?
"Humph, you are courting your own death," the captive looked as if he had a last breath of life, his face suddenly looked better, and he sneered, "They are just soul-eating insects, which are just a little more difficult to deal with than ordinary races. Do you really think you can't destroy them? If you attract the attention of the adults, it will only be a matter of time before you are crushed into powder!"
"But your body is still human," the queen insect said without caring about the threat, "I will always find a way to make you surrender..."
sizzle-
"what!!!"
Tang Xin turned his head away, unable to bear to watch the bloody scene that followed.
Wait, in the conversation just now, the queen insect said that the Blood Lord Palace was researching something? What kind of ancestor insects are afraid of?
It seems like I know some incredible information!
The eldest sister pondered for a moment, made up her mind, and spoke to the mind of the Blood Honor Hall captive with a barely perceptible divine sense.
"How about a deal? You tell me what you know and I'll rescue you."
The prisoner who was being tortured was stunned for a moment, and then cried out to the sky.
"Stop, stop, I'll tell you, I'm willing to tell you!"
The queen insect stopped her tentacles.
"Go ahead."
"Let me say yes," he changed the topic, "but there is a Blood Lord Demon Seal in my head. You must suppress it with all your strength before I can tell you what you want to know. Isn't your mental strength very strong? You should be able to do it, right?"
As he spoke, the man put his hands behind his back and made a "deal" gesture.
"Okay," the queen insect thought for a while and said, "but if you lie to me again, I will definitely torture you in the most cruel way until you completely collapse."
Chapter 776: We Have Studied You Thoroughly
The queen insect agreed to the request of the Blood Lord Temple captives. After some adjustments, a powerful mental force filled the underground space.
"what……"
A red spiritual mark appeared on the captive's forehead, and his face began to distort.
Powerful mental fluctuations emanated from the spiritual seal. Although the host was extremely weak and had limited energy, the complexity of the seal was there and not everyone could easily crack it.
The queen insect's tentacles were waving wildly, performing very delicate operations on the spiritual seal. Sometimes it would pause, as if thinking of a solution. Even Tang Xin, who was hiding in the dark, could feel that it seemed to have encountered a considerable problem.
This is the opportunity!
"Do it!"
The prisoner suddenly shouted.
call out!
Tang Xin emerged from the darkness and cut off all the tentacles of the queen insect at the fastest speed, rescuing the captives of the Blood Lord Temple.
"The second half of it," the already exhausted captive pointed at the queen insect and said, "Hurry up and kill it, or it will immediately summon other soul-eating insects!"
The eldest sister rushed out again and went straight to the queen insect.
The other party also reacted, and several new tentacles immediately grew from the wound. They had a metallic luster and looked sharp and hard.
But this only applies to ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
Tang Xin was not polite at all. He blew up all the newly grown tentacles and then, according to the instructions of the Blood Lord Temple captives, burned the back half of the queen insect's body into ashes.
"As expected, there are humans invading..."
The queen insect made a sound.
"With such weak strength, he can actually command an army of millions of soul-eating insects," Tang Xin shook his head and looked at the Blood Lord Hall captives. "What do you mean, I saved you, so it's your turn, right?"
"Thank you, thank you," the dying captive, lying on the ground, barely raised his head to look at the senior sister, and said, "But I'm sorry, I lied to you... I actually don't know anything."
"Fuck!" Tang Xin frowned and said, "Are you kidding me?"
"Ha, ha, ha, for the sake of being human, just forgive me this time." The captive looked at her again, and suddenly seemed to remember something, his expression changed. "Wait, wait, are you Tang Xin from Xuanling Sect? Why are you here?"
"That's why I wanted to ask, how did you get caught here..."
The eldest sister smacked her lips.
Doing business with someone who doesn't keep his word is definitely not a good deal.
"Bad luck. I encountered a soul-devouring insect while traveling through the void," the captive's voice became weaker and weaker. "Sorry, please kill me quickly..."
"You lied to me, and you still want me to do something?"
Tang Xin snorted.
"Well, I'll give you some useful information," the captive said softly, "You have been studied inside and out by the Blood Lord Palace. Talent, combat effectiveness, personality, leadership, habits... You are an excellent material, so the corresponding experimental subject has also received the attention of Lord Blood."
"Experiment?"
"Hehe, genius can be copied. Thank you for your hard work in growing up, which has helped the Blood Honor Hall find its direction... However, some people in the hall seem to think that no matter how good the copy is, it can't compare to the original material, so they still want to capture you back."
"It's a pity that we can't see which of the two factions has the right idea..."
"What else?" Tang Xin took two steps at a time, walked forward, fed the captive a healing pill, and shouted, "Tell me everything you know!"
"I also know..."
The prisoner said with his last bit of strength.
"Master Blood Lord, it's just that...above him, there is...uh--"
He hadn't finished his unclear words when all the energy of the pill he had just taken was absorbed by the Blood Lord Demon Seal. Then the Light Seal left his body and shone a ray of light onto the prisoner's head, silencing him instantly.
Damn, can the Blood Lord Demon Seal be used like this?
