Chapter 1777 Bloodfire Ant
With the effort of a cup of tea, Lin Xuan leaped thousands of miles, and a desolate island appeared in sight.
Lin Xuan was overjoyed and flew over.
Naturally, he came here not because he had been cultivating for too long and couldn't bear the loneliness, but because he wanted to try his current supernatural powers.
Soon the small island was clearly in his mind, but Lin Xuan paused for a moment, with a bit of doubt on his face. Although the small island was barren and the aura was extremely thin, there were actually people.
But it's not immortal cultivators, but mortals who live here.
Lin Xuan sighed, although in the eyes of immortal cultivators, mortals are like ants, but their life is not easy, Lin Xuan naturally would not bother the land, and was about to leave, but at this moment, there was a burst of exclamation But passed into the ear.
Lin Xuan was startled, and couldn't help turning his head.
I saw two mortals appearing in sight, a man and a woman, both looked to be in their twenties, their faces were full of surprises, but also a little anxious, they kept waving to themselves.
This scene obviously wanted to attract his attention.
Lin Xuan was a little surprised. Generally speaking, mortals seldom provoke cultivators. Without him, cultivators are mostly moody!
It is true that mortals can get some benefits from associating with immortal cultivators, but it is actually very difficult to say whether it is a blessing or a curse.
Therefore, unless they want to use "immortal techniques" to resist monsters or natural disasters, ordinary people are willing to stay away from immortals.
The other party actually took the initiative to call.
Could it be that……
Lin Xuan had a faint guess in his heart. Normally, he wouldn't necessarily meddle in ordinary people's business, but he just broke through the bottleneck today, and he was in a really good mood. Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment, then retreated and descended.
The two mortals were overjoyed and didn't say much. They kowtowed again and again, with a sincere and heavy heart, and the sound of bang bang bang kept coming to their ears.
"Okay, there's no need for that, what's the matter with you calling me here?"
"Immortal Master, we are the survivors of the sea, and now we are facing the catastrophe of extermination, please be merciful and righteous, and the whole family will be grateful and enshrine your longevity tablet." The man's deep voice came ears, his face was full of grief and fear, as if he had encountered some serious problem.
Lin Xuan sighed, thinking that he was just a mere mortal without spiritual roots back then, and his parents died young, and he experienced more suffering in the world. The difficulties of life.
Help if you can.
"Don't worry, I'll ask you, but did you meet a monster making trouble?"
"I don't know either." The young man said blankly.
"What?" Lin Xuan's face was full of astonishment, and then his brows slowly wrinkled.
"Immortal Master, don't be angry. My brother is a bit stupid. He invited the Immortal Master to our village as a guest. The younger generation will let you know later." A gentle voice came to the ear, but it was the woman On the sidelines, he rescued his brother.
"All right!"
Lin Xuan nodded. After two hundred years of painstaking practice, there was no human habitation. It is not bad to walk around in the secular world. Helping these mortals can be regarded as accumulating some sinful virtues.
So led by the brothers and sisters respectfully, Lin Xuan came to their village.
Said to be a village, its scale is no less than a small city. There are tens of thousands of these mortals. After learning about Lin Xuan's identity as a cultivator, they all showed respectful expressions. What Lin Xuan had done Everywhere, people knelt down and kowtowed one after another. No matter which interface they were on, an immortal cultivator was extremely noble to mortals.
Lin Xuan was taken to the most luxurious building in the center of the village. The siblings did not follow in. They went to report to the elders. However, Master Xianshi would not be left out in the cold, and there would be someone responsible for receiving him.
This is a guest room, not too big, but it is very elegantly furnished, with antique murals hanging all around, and flowers on the window sills. Although it is not a precious fairy grass Ganoderma lucidum, the fragrance is very fresh and elegant.
The maids have already served fragrant tea, and there are several plates of fresh and tender melons and fruits beside them, all of which are the most delicious in the village.
Lin Xuan tasted it, and it tasted good, so he simply opened his belly to eat and drink, and soon, the sound of footsteps came to his ears.
"Master Immortal, villain Qin Chong, can you come in?"
"Um."
Lin Xuan snorted softly, and then the door opened with a creak, and an old man walked in from the outside. He looked about seventy years old, and came to Lin Xuan to pay respects.
"Don't be too polite, if you have something to say, get up and say it."
"Thank you, Master Immortal."
The old man was overjoyed, but also a little apprehensive. When he was young, he had seen a few foundation-building stage cultivators, all of whom had their eyes high above the top, and they didn't pay attention to mortals at all. It's because his cultivation base is too low. If he is only an immortal cultivator in the agile stage, whether he can cope with the crisis in the village is another matter.
I thought so in my heart, but this is just a guess, not to mention that even the immortal masters of the agile stage are not something mortals like them can neglect, so his face is still full of respect, and he did not express his concerns.
"What exactly did you encounter when you came to me? If you have something to say, tell me quickly. I don't have time to delay here."
"Master Immortal, it's like this. Strange things have happened in the village recently."
"Strange thing?"
"Yes, the villagers who went to Nanshan to cut firewood disappeared for no reason."
"Did it get eaten by a beast?"
"This... villain doesn't know either. After it happened a few times, he even organized guards to go up the mountain to investigate, but they also never came back."
"Oh?" Lin Xuan was a little surprised.
If it was a ferocious beast or a low-level demon clan, it would be unreasonable not to attack a nearby village, but as long as it didn't go up the mountain, nothing would happen. This matter, no matter how you look at it, is a bit weird.
"You're thinking……"
"There must be something terrible on that mountain. Although it hasn't taken the initiative to attack the village, people are panicked. If this continues, we will definitely not be able to live on this small island, but the sea is vast, and we are not immortal cultivators. Immortal masters are flying like clouds and fog, where can we relocate to?" The old man said here, with a sad expression on his face: "So please be merciful, immortal master..."
"Okay, you don't need to say, I already know what I want to ask this deity to do, and I will naturally investigate this matter for you."
"Thank you Immortal Master, thank you Immortal Master, you are truly an old-fashioned and heart-warming Buddha of all families, and we mortals, although we have nothing to show our gratitude, every family will set up a longevity tablet for you." The old man was grateful explain.
"That's not necessary." Lin Xuan helped, just in a good mood, and naturally he never thought about asking mere mortals to give him something in return.
He didn't intend to delay here any longer, and he set off after he understood clearly.
The area of this small island is quite large, but with Lin Xuan's escape technique, he naturally arrived at the so-called Nanshan Mountain very quickly. It was getting late at this time. Looking from the foot of the mountain, the vast mountain was covered with various dense forests. A mysterious and terrifying atmosphere emerges from the plants, as if there are some demons hidden inside.
However, Lin Xuan, as a cultivator in the middle stage of separation and reunion, naturally doesn't have to be afraid of anything, his figure flickers, and he has already entered the dense forest.
After going a certain distance, Lin Xuan stopped, and then released his consciousness.
There was a harvest soon, Lin Xuan's figure flashed and flew to the left.
A few skeletons came into view, the clothes were riddled with holes, and there were some weapons beside them. If there was no mistake, they were the guards from the village who came to investigate.
From the looks of it, it didn't look like dying at the mouth of a beast, and the monster race wouldn't do that either.
With a flick of Lin Xuan's sleeve, a ray of light flew out and took a bone.
On the surface, nothing seemed wrong. Lin Xuan poured mana into his eyes, and cast the upgraded Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye. His eyes turned silver. This time, when he looked at the skeleton again, it was suddenly different.
Could it be that……
A look of horror flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.
Then he began to think with his jaw on his hands, it was really that thing, or he had guessed wrongly.
I dare not say anything about the spirit world, but the classics say that in the world of cultivating immortals in the East China Sea, those things were already extinct in ancient times.
For a moment, Lin Xuan couldn't draw a conclusion on this.
After a little hesitation, Lin Xuan continued to fly away like a deep forest, no matter what, he always wanted to find out what was going on.
If what I expected is correct, that kind of thing really thrives here, and mortals staying here are no different from sitting in the crater of a volcano.
Soon Lin Xuan found a few more skeletons. These should be the missing villagers. Lin Xuan inspected their remains carefully, his brows became more and more wrinkled, and the original relaxed expression was gone.
Blood fire ants!
Is it really that kind of spirit insect?
Lin Xuan murmured to himself that the first time he saw the introduction of the blood fire ant was in Yuling Xinde. Like the Yuluo bee, it belongs to the wild and strange insects, but its ranking is very low, and it can even be said to be the bottom one.
A single Bloodfire Ant, a disciple of the agile stage, can be dealt with as long as he holds a good magic weapon.
In other words, a single spirit insect has no major use other than devouring the flesh and blood of mortals and ferocious beasts, and it poses no threat to monks and monsters, even low-level ones.
However, this kind of spirit insect is not really harmless to immortal cultivators.
A single one is nothing, but if the number is large, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, or even, when the number reaches hundreds of millions, overwhelming, at that time, even immortal cultivators in the separation and separation period will have to stay away.
If the number is greater, it can threaten the old monsters of the Dongxuan period.
And the fecundity of the blood fire ants is the most terrifying among the known spirit insects.
Unlike other spirit insects, its growth cycle is very fast, and there is no need to ripen it at all. The key is how to reproduce more, so as to achieve the effect of winning by quantity.
In ancient times, there were monks who drove the blood fire ants, but later this kind of spirit insects were inexplicably extinct in the world of cultivating immortals in the East China Sea.
