Chapter 861 Shadow-Binding Insect
Huo Hai has only seen two bugs without bodies. One is the ghost insect before being fused into the ghost bone insect, which is naturally capable of controlling the undead. I don’t know if the skeleton I made some time ago is complete yet.
The other one is the melting water bug Xiao Shui in his hand. It's just that Xiao Shui doesn't really have no body, but his body has a very special composition, a very strange collection of crystals. As long as one crystal core is not destroyed, Xiao Shui is technically immortal. It's a pity that this combination is somewhat similar to bacteria and viruses, and Xiao Shui has no IQ.
But no matter what, spirit bugs without bodies are generally not normal bugs. Needless to say, this shadow-binding insect must be a specialty of this place. If it weren't for the old wine bug here, Huo Hai really wouldn't be able to find such a thing.
"Be careful, the shadow-binding bug can only live in the dark. It's fine during the day, but it's very troublesome at night. I don't know what's going on with this shadow-binding bug. It's been bothering me all day."
The old wine bug took a sip of wine and paid careful attention to his surroundings. When Huo Hai saw this, he didn't care so much: "Forget it, no matter what, let's destroy the thing in front of us first." After saying that, Huo Hai summoned Xiaodie.
Shadow-binding bugs have no bodies, so catching them is not an easy task. It just so happens that Xiaodie has reached the sixth level of Spiritual King. The spiritual attribute should be used to deal with the shadow-binding insects, which should have a good effect. As for Huo Hai, he set his target on the drunken cloud insect in front of him. With a movement, Huo Hai left an afterimage and rushed to Zuiyun Chong's side.
At Huo Hai's current speed, the old wine bug couldn't react at all. Without using a weapon, Huo Hai pointed two fingers at Zuiyun Chong's eyes. The purple-red sword energy flickered faintly, ready to be released at any time.
Huo Hai was so fast that even the old wine bug couldn't react, let alone the drunken cloud bug. Seeing that Huo Hai's move was about to land on Zuiyun Chong, but at this moment, Huo Hai suddenly felt his whole body stagnate, as if something was pulling him. At first, it seemed like there were some ropes on his body, but later Huo Hai felt like he was stuck in glue.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zuiyun Chong lowered his head and stabbed directly at Huo Hai. Huo Hai snorted coldly, moved his fingers vigorously, and the sword energy came out across the air. But it is a pity that the sword energy can only be aimed at the huge horn of the drunken cloud insect this time.
There was a muffled sound as the sword energy hit the tip of the drunken cloud insect's horn and exploded on the spot. The horns of the Zuiyun Insect were harder than Huo Hai expected. His own sword energy cannot be resisted by ordinary armor, let alone just a horn.
But after the explosion, Huo Hai also discovered that there was just a deep wound on the drunken cloud insect's horn. If it were to happen again, it would definitely be able to cut off its horns. Zuiyun Chong, who was repulsed by a sword energy, opened his mouth and a ball of air was immediately sprayed out. "Damn, what is this?" Huo Hai was holding his breath, his skin turned red.
The spiritual power all over his body shook. Huo Hai finally felt that his body had completely recovered, and then quickly backed away.
"What a waste, what a waste. I told you, you big bug, if you want to spray me, you should spray me too. Such a good spiritual wine is wasted on this kid." Seeing Huo Hai holding his breath, the old wine bug said Face hurt.
Huo Hai was stunned: "What, this is the spiritual wine you are looking for?" Huo Hai's eyes widened. He spit out the stuff secreted by the insects from his mouth and then drank it. He felt sick just thinking about it.
But then he thought about it, and Huo Hai probably understood what was going on. For poisonous insects, the toxin itself is not the key, but being able to harm the opponent is the key. This drunken cloud insect may regard alcohol as a toxin. After who knows how many years of evolution, it finally turned into using strong alcohol to hurt people. But for things like wine, the stronger the better.
"Damn thing, I don't care what he spits out." Huo Hai's spiritual power circulated in a circle to repel the horrible smell of alcohol from his body. Judging from the quality of the spirit wine, these wines are only low-grade at the prefectural level.
But in fact, the power of this instantaneous burst of alcoholic odor is even stronger than that of a mid-grade prefecture-level spiritual wine. Ordinary people would definitely become drunk on the spot if they were sprayed with this alcoholic smell. In the end, it is the Zuiyun Chong who has the final say whether he lives or dies.
Seeing that Huo Hai wanted to take action, the old wine bug said quickly: "Wait a minute, don't kill the drunken cloud bug." The drunken cloud bug is a good thing, and it is rare in the cross canyon. People from the Jiuxian Sect usually keep Drunken Cloud Insects in them, and come and steal some or rob some when they have nothing to do. However, people from the Jiuxian Sect have never killed Zuiyun Chong, and the old Jiu Chong had never used his killing move before.
Huo Hai understood what Old Jiu Chong meant as soon as he heard what he said. These guys from the Jiu Xian Sect would really risk their lives for the sake of wine. Huo Hai, who didn't want to offend the Jiuxian Sect, weakened his attack power slightly.
As if sensing Huo Hai's terrifying strength, Zuiyunzhong took a step back involuntarily when he saw Huo Hai. However, before Huo Hai's attack was launched, he once again felt his body being restrained by something.
"Well done, I'm waiting for you." Following this force, Huo Hai suddenly stopped. Star Gu, which had been silent since the beginning, finally started to move. A group of star Gu surrounded Huo Hai and jointly released a spiritual shield. The shield shimmering with white light shrouded Huo Hai entirely. There is no way to leave everything in it.
Just now, Huo Hai wanted Xiaodie to catch the shadow-binding bug, but Xiaodie said that the other party's aura was obscure, so Xiaodie couldn't catch any traces. That's why Huo Hai chose to actively attack the Drunken Cloud Insect in front of him in order to lure the Shadow Insect out.
Now that the goal was achieved, Huo Hai naturally stopped. Zuiyun Chong seemed to have sensed something as he spat out another breath of wine. It's a pity that this breath of alcohol spitting on Star Gu's spiritual shield has no effect at all.
"Very good, I want to see if the power of light can really restrain darkness." Following Huo Hai's order, Star Gu quickly began to gather in the middle. The surrounding spiritual shield is getting smaller and smaller. Under the faint white light, Huo Hai's body, which was originally bare, actually revealed some black lines, like a shabby mosquito net.
Star Gu continued to compress, and feeling the suppression of the light force, this black shadow quickly began to gather. Not sure how much time had passed, Huo Hai raised his hand and looked at the ball of light in his hand. This ball of light was jointly created by the Star Gus.
There was a black shadow in it. The black shadow was constantly changing, but it was so dark that it was impossible to see what was inside. "Is this the shadow-binding insect? It's really strange. We'll study it later." After thinking about it, Huo Hai waved his hand and put it into the inner space.
Looking at the drunken cloud insect in front of him because he was afraid and didn't know whether to run away or fight, Huo Hai sneered: "Xiaodie, control it for me." It's just an insect beast, and its mental strength is inherently weak, not to mention it's still fierce. If you follow the path of the beast, your mental strength will be even weaker. Faced with Xiaodie's mental control, Zuiyunzhong struggled for a while and then calmed down.
"Don't kill, don't kill, boy, this is a good thing, killing it is too wasteful." There are not many Drunken Cloud Insects in the Cross Canyon. Artificial breeding in other places cannot achieve the effect. This is simply a natural breeding farm. .
Huo Hai rolled his eyelids: "If you don't kill it, why keep it? Didn't you almost die in the hands of this thing just now?" The people of the Jiuxian Sect are really strange. In order to drink good wine, they will even risk their own lives.
"No, keep it. I'll let those old guys take a look in the future and catch it if possible. This is the Insect King. I've been in the Jiuxian Sect for so long, and this is the first time I've heard that the Drunken Cloud Insect also has an Insect King. ." Huo Hai rolled his eyelids, most of the bugs have bug kings. It's just that if you want to give birth to an insect king, the conditions are rather harsh.
Generally, if insects of the same type do not gather to a certain number, the insect king will not appear. Once the number is reached, even if the previous insect king dies, a new insect king will be produced among the remaining insects.
Spirit insects and bugs are the same, but they are so strange that even Huo Hai doesn't know why. Needless to say, it must be because a large number of Drunken Cloud Insects have been stocked here all year round, causing the number of Drunk Cloud Insects to reach the standard, and the insect king appears.
Seeing the old wine bug busy, Huo Hai couldn't do much to help. "Hurry up, I can control it for half an hour at most. If you can't finish it, don't blame me if you get bitten to death." Huo Hai still reminded him.
At this time, the old Jiu Chong was busy at Zui Yun Chong's mouth: "Don't worry, I won't blame you if I die." The old Jiu Chong said without replying, and then continued to be busy. A strange utensil that Huo Hai couldn't understand was taken out by Old Jiu Chong and supported Zui Yun Chong's mouth. Then I kept digging around inside, not knowing what I was digging for.
But not long after, the old wine bug took out a jar of wine, and Huo Hai knew what it was. It sounds like spiritual wine, but in Huo Hai's view, this so-called spiritual wine is just the saliva of drunken cloud insects, which is really disgusting.
"It's a pity. It all sprayed out just now, and now there's only a little left." The old wine bug said with a distressed look on his face.
Suddenly, the old wine worm's face lit up: "But fortunately, I still have these high-quality wine koji, so this trip is not in vain." The old wine worm looked at the other jar of strange things he took out. "The drunken cloud bug can decompose everything it eats and brew it into spiritual wine. The most important thing is this high-quality distiller's yeast. This is not an ordinary distiller's yeast, and it cannot be obtained by the outside world."
The more he dug out, the brighter the smile on the old wine bug's face became, and Huo Hai almost wanted to vomit.
Looking closely at the depth of the old wine worm into the jar, Huo Hai probably guessed what these wine koji were. Even if this thing is not the gastric juice of Drunken Cloud Insect, it is probably something similar.
