Chapter 216: Insect Nest

A clean area had been cleared at the bottom of the cave, and even the ground was baked by Lu Ye's fire dragon technique.

Several ropes were hung down from above, and those monks with low cultivation used the ropes to climb down. Of course, the main purpose was to facilitate escape...

Small teams held torches and headed deep into the wormhole.

This was the first time that the Bixue Sect had dealt with a worm tide, so there were two main tasks at the moment. One was to find the location of the worm nest. As long as the worm nest was found, the rest would be easy.

The other was to explore the underground environment and draw a map of the underground space.

The worm tide would not only happen this time, but would appear again next time. However, the location of the worm nest would definitely change. Now we should spend more energy to draw a map, and it would save time and effort to have a map reference next time.

When Lu Ye came down before, he found that the underground was connected in all directions, with many forks, which could almost be compared with the mineral veins of the Evil Moon Valley. I don't know how such a complex terrain was formed.

It would definitely not work if there were not enough people to explore such a complex environment.

Lu Ye sincerely felt fortunate that he had accepted many disciples and independent cultivators in the garrison after the Lingxi garrison battle, otherwise he would have no one available now.

Suddenly, he remembered that Senior Sister Shui Yuan had mentioned before that since the opening of the Bixue Sect to accept disciples had been opened, it would be better to open it wider and ask Lu Ye to accept as many disciples and independent cultivators as possible, which was related to the future development of the sect.

Now, Senior Sister Shui Yuan must have considered the insect tide and gave Lu Ye such advice.

Lu Ye urged his spiritual power again and constructed a huge spiritual pattern here. This place will become a place for those registered disciples and independent cultivators to heal and recover.

Hua Ci and others will also stay here.

After doing all this, Lu Ye did not rush to leave, but recovered for a while, refined a few spiritual pills, and ensured that his spiritual power was sufficient, and then he got up and walked inside.

Along the way, there was green insect blood everywhere, but there were no insect corpses, which were all collected.

Soon he came to the second fork, and Lu Ye randomly chose a way to go forward.

The further he went, the more forks he encountered.

After an incense stick, he came to an unmanned fork in the road, took out the Panshan Knife, and moved forward while killing insects, exploring the terrain and searching for the location of the insect nest.

At this time, in this underground maze with many connections, the disciples of the Bixue Sect and the casual cultivators were fighting fiercely with the Zerg in the forks.

The further they advanced, the larger the Zerg they encountered, and accordingly, the stronger they were. In this way, the disciples would inevitably get injured, and the injured would immediately retreat back to the cave entrance along the original path. While receiving treatment from Hua Ci, they would take out the map drawn by their own team and hand it over to Hua Ci.

Hua Ci was responsible for summarizing all the scattered maps and then drawing a complete underground map.

The progress was relatively smooth. Except for not finding the location of the insect nest, each team had a good harvest, but as the Zerg encountered became stronger and stronger, casualties were inevitable.

The life of a cultivator is like this, full of dangers. The companions who were just drinking and talking yesterday and imagining the future may become a cold corpse today.

One day later, Lu Ye, who was killing people in a fork road, received a message that the insect nest was found, and more people would be more efficient!

He immediately turned back and returned to the way he came.

Half an hour later, under the entrance of the wormhole, Lu Ye returned covered in green blood.

Hua Ci cleaned up the blood stains on his body. Lu Ye urged his spiritual power to evaporate the moisture on his body. Under the illumination of torches around, he and Hua Ci came to a table.

There was a map on the table, which was the result of the exploration of 700 cultivators of the Green Blood Sect in one day.

From the map, it can be seen that there are a lot of forks in the underground, and they are winding and irregular, and many forks are connected to each other.

The map is not complete, and there are many places that have not been fed back and supplemented in time.

Hua Ci pointed at a location: "The location of the insect nest is here, but that place is very dangerous. Now Chen Yu has led the team there, and Amber and Yiyi are also there."

Lu Ye looked at the map in front of him intently, and a clear route gradually formed in his mind.

He looked at other routes on the map again and said: "According to what the fourth brother said, the insect nest is a large underground space, which is connected to many passages inside. These passages will eventually converge to the exit, which is here. In other words, starting from here, no matter which fork you take, the final direction is also the location of the insect nest!"

So if the entire map is drawn, the lines on the map representing the forks will form a spindle shape, with one end of the spindle being the wormhole exit and the other end being the location of the insect nest.

At present, most of this spindle has been drawn, representing the progress of the Blue Blood Sect monks, but now only one line connects the two ends of the spindle, which is the line representing the team that found the insect nest.

The other lines were still advancing. Some of them were progressing very slowly because of their low overall strength, but some were progressing well and were almost reaching the underground space where the insect nest was located.

"I'll go to the insect nest first."

After Lu Ye finished speaking, he turned and went deeper into the wormhole.

On the cave wall along the way, there was a torch burning at intervals. Almost every cultivator would always have a lot of this kind of common lighting in their storage bag, because no one knew when they would need it, so they were prepared.

He was very fast. After only half an hour, he felt the sound of fierce fighting coming from the front and the roar of Amber.

Looking up, I saw a ray of light flashing over there, as well as a girl's fierce roar!

"Seven-layer Zerg, Yinyin, stop it quickly!" Chen Yu's voice sounded.

Everyone now has a map of the strength of the Zerg tribe. The so-called seventh-level Zerg tribe is the Zerg tribe that is equivalent to the seventh-level monks.

"I'm a girl, senior brother Chen Yu, you've gone too far! Ah, I'll fight you!"

Lu Ye turned a corner and saw He Xiyin, who was full of energy and blood, holding a large shield equal to her height in front of her. In front of her, a mantis taller than her wielded a mantis knife, slashing the shield. There was a clanging sound, and every time the knife fell, He Xiyin's body shook.

Although He Xiyin looks soft and cute, she is actually a self-trained practitioner!

When Lu Ye knew about this before, he was shocked. He didn't know how this small body contained so much energy and blood.

Since she withstood the seventh-level Zerg, Chen Yu, Yiyi and others naturally let go of their hands and feet, and unleashed a series of spells and weapons, killing the mantis in an instant.

But what followed was one huge Zerg after another.

"Back away, there are too many!" Chen Yu yelled. The movement here obviously alerted the Zerg in the insect nest. Several seventh-level Zerg and many six- and five-level ones rushed out.

Before Lu Ye came, they had already fought and retreated, retreating a long distance away.

"Physical training can only be done standing up and dying, not retreating to live. I'm okay!" He Xiyin gritted his teeth, and suddenly his body became light and he floated back, "Huh?"

At that moment, she felt someone grabbed her collar and threw her away.

Landing lightly, he took a closer look and saw that a figure had appeared in his original position. There was a fiery red light flowing in the corridor, and one Zerg fell down in the roar.

When the long sword clinging to spiritual power fell, the seven-layer Zerg that leaped high and charged was broken into two...

"Lu Ye!" Yiyi shouted in surprise.

"Fifth Senior Brother!"

Cries came one after another. Lu Ye shook off the blood on Panshan's knife and nodded slightly: "Kill first!"

With his reinforcements, the situation that was about to collapse was immediately stabilized. Under the light of the royal weapon, the Zerg were killed one by one, and everyone moved forward.

Lu Ye didn't use the sword anymore, the imperial weapon was enough. He even had time to observe Yiyi and Amber.

Amber has grown tremendously. She eats and drinks well since she came to the Blue Blood Sect. She swallows countless elixirs every day and comes to Lu Ye every now and then to ask for a blood line on her scales.

There is no intuitive judgment on the strength of Amber's strength today. It is not a monk after all, but its demonic energy fluctuates during the battle, but it is not inferior to that of a sixth-level monk. The golden demonic energy wraps around its body, making it glow with golden light. , majestic, when the tiger's mouth bites down, the hard shell of the Zerg can be broken into pieces. The huge tiger claws fall off, and a dent is immediately formed on the Zerg's body.

As for Yiyi... she initially wanted to learn medical skills from Senior Sister Shuiyuan, because Lu Ye was often injured, so Yiyi's biggest dream was to become a medical practitioner, so that she could heal Lu Ye's injuries anytime and anywhere.

However, dreams are just dreams after all. After being severely beaten by reality, the dream was shattered. For this reason, Yiyi was depressed for several days.

Later, Senior Sister Shuiyuan saw that she was too depressed, so she suggested that she learn the technique from the master. Yiyi didn't have much hope at first, but this time she opened the door to a new world...

Lu Ye never asked how Yiyi was learning magic, but she spent most of her time with the master.

Until this moment, I saw a Taoist magic shining in Yiyi's hand in various ways...

In fact, in private, the headmaster has praised Yiyi's talent in the art of magic more than once, and even speculated that Yiyi should have been a magic practitioner before turning into a ghost. In many cases, the headmaster only taught him two or three times, and Yiyi was able to master the art. The law is displayed.

She is Amber's companion ghost. She can be as strong as Amber is, so the strength she shows at this moment is equivalent to a sixth-level Dharma practitioner.

And because she is a spirit body, there is no such thing as a bias among the five elements, so she can perform any spell that belongs to the elements.

Her biggest problem is the recovery of her own strength. As a spirit, she cannot swallow the elixir. If she wants to recover, she can only hide in Amber's body and refine Amber's energy and blood.

Therefore, the source of power of the combination of Amber and Yiyi is amber itself, which will intensify the consumption of amber.
