Chapter 484: Mother Nest
The palace door slowly closed.
Separate the inside and outside into completely different worlds.
The curtains gradually closed, once again covering the slender body.
Lingqi was half-lying on a throne that was spacious and comfortable, like a soft bed, and seemed to have fallen asleep.
Quietly, a figure appeared from the darkness.
This is a female Psylocke with a stooped body and a wrinkled face.
She walked out of the room that led to the underground secret realm and soon came to the depths of the hall where Spirit Butterfly was.
"Why didn't Your Majesty take action just now to capture this foreign fortune teller?"
The female Spirit Butterfly knelt down and spoke slowly.
"Take it?"
"You, Mr. Mu Clan, have lived in the secret realm for a long time, and your strength level is second to none among the three sages. So please tell me, how can you directly defeat him?"
The elder of the Mu clan was lost in thought, "As long as His Majesty gave the order just now, I can open the secret realm and envelop the entire hall in the barrier. When the time comes to gather elite forces, we should be able to suppress him in one fell swoop."
“The clan elder has little contact with Mr. Yuan Yi and doesn’t know him very well, so he came up with the easy idea.
But in my opinion, it is by no means easy to capture him, and it may even lead to unpredictable consequences. "
Lingqi paused for a moment, a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes.
"The fact that he was able to survive that battle outside the city shows that his strength level has reached a very high level. At least in terms of life-saving ability, he is even stronger than me at the time."
The elder of the clan was silent for a moment and said slowly, "Your Majesty was still the Ninth Prince at that time, but now he has become the mistress of this clan. On the basis of the original one, and then accepts the inheritance of the Secret Realm Mother Nest, the level of strength is naturally not comparable to what it was before.
What's more, His Majesty is now in the main hall, where he can get the strongest support from the Brood in all directions, and there are a large number of elites lurking nearby, so he naturally has a huge advantage. If he attacks when he first enters..."
“The Mu clan always says it’s easy, but it’s hard to do. This is what is truly easier said than done.”
Lingqi raised her hand and did not let her continue.
"Although after I became a mistress, I truly understood the terrifying power hidden within the secret realm. It was far beyond my imagination.
However, when I look at him from my current perspective, I still can't penetrate the layers of fog that surround him. I only know that he is different from us, like two completely different types of creatures. "
Lingqi took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. The antennae on her head trembled slightly, causing the patterns on the wings on her back to light up quietly.
“He once taught me before that only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles, so in the face of this situation where you only know yourself and don’t know your enemy, seeking stability and maintaining the status quo is the best choice.
More importantly, I am still very young and there is still a long way to go in the future. My level of strength is also constantly improving with the blessing of the Secret Realm Mother Nest. Maybe I won’t have to worry about the problems that lie ahead at that time. . "
At this point, she changed into a more comfortable position and sighed again.
"As he said, impulse is the devil. You must be calm when doing things and never have childlike impulses."
The old Spirit Butterfly asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being ignorant, but I don't know what kind of devil the devil is."
"That's a monster in his hometown that symbolizes danger and death, just like the Chimiao recorded in the ancient books of our divination academy. They are terrible creatures that can make us fear and despair."
"Devil, Chihou..."
The expression of the elderly Spirit Butterfly changed slightly, and after a long silence, he finally changed the topic.
"Yesterday, many nobles gathered in front of the palace again, wanting to ask His Majesty about the attack on the previous mistress and His Majesty's direct intrusion into the secret realm to obtain the inheritance.
When His Majesty was practicing in seclusion before, I had already postponed this matter for some time. If it were delayed any longer, I'm afraid it would arouse their dissatisfaction. "
"The old mistress is already dead, why are they still tossing around here? Why don't they just keep their honor and live on?"
Lingqi looked calm and said lightly, "Since they want to avenge their mother so much, how about sending them all to the battlefield to kill the two seven-star flying ants and cause a bloody river?"
"Is there anything wrong with what Your Majesty is doing?"
The elder of the Mu tribe couldn't help but raise his head, "Originally, with the coming of the cold winter, the disputes between the three tribes have gradually eased, but if we take the initiative again, it is very likely that the war will explode again, putting our tribe in considerable danger. "
"Although my mother is no longer here, I always think she is still alive. It's like a shadow hanging over the main city, which makes me often feel oppressed and bound."
Lingqi drank her tea slowly and said in a calm and even nonchalant tone, "So only by completely destroying the decayed original building can I build a brand new and magnificent building that is completely my own on an open space.
You are my ancestor. You were once the chief fortune teller of the previous generation, and later you went into the secret realm to practice for a long time. Naturally, there is no need to say more about your vision and experience. You should be able to understand what I am thinking at this moment. "
The elder of the Mu clan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I understand your Majesty's thoughts, but this matter is not trivial and needs to be considered in the long run, lest the war is not yet started, but it will cause chaos within the clan.
Also, your Majesty just mentioned the flying ant clan, but I heard that Mr. Yuan Yi recently ran out and caught a lot of flying ant warriors. If he is allowed to behave like this, I'm afraid..."
There was a soft click.
Lingqi dropped the tea cup on the table.
She slowly sat up straight and looked down with an expressionless face.
“Elder of the Mu clan, I respect you and call you clan elder. If I don’t want to respect you, who are you?
If it weren't for the fact that you took the initiative to open the secret realm and help me obtain the inheritance of the Brood, I would have taken your life based on those few words just now. "
Speaking of this, Lingqi suddenly laughed, "Why, killing a few guys from the flying ant clan has scared you like this. Could it be that you have been kneeling in the secret nest for too long and have forgotten your true nature?" The blood that the clan once had?”
The old man of the Mu clan listened silently, as if he had turned into a sculpture, kneeling on the ground motionless.
It wasn't until some time passed that she finally raised her head, but she still tried to dissuade him, "It's not a trivial matter to start another war. I hope Your Majesty will think twice."
"Of course I know that this matter is not trivial. Just like what Yuan Yi said, soldiers are a major issue for the country, the place of life and death, and the path to survival. We must pay attention to it.
But he just told me that if internal and external troubles are not eliminated, the Spirit Butterfly clan will be trapped here and will never truly make a difference.
So what I am doing now is to light a fire and burn all the internal and external troubles we are facing. "
Lingqi said with a look of longing, "In this process, although the road may have twists and turns, the future must be bright. We just need to persevere and we can really wait until the day when our ideals are realized." arrival.
Wei Tao left the square in front of the palace and left along the long road paved with smooth stone slabs.
After walking a certain distance, he suddenly stopped again.
He looked back, his eyes fell on the magnificent and fantastic patterns on the door, and he sighed inexplicably.
There was heavy snow in the sky.
But it melted into water halfway.
It turns into rain like a gauze, blowing in the face with the gentle breeze.
The entrance is like a dream, giving people a hazy beauty.
At this moment, another spiritual spirit rose from the palace spire.
In an instant, it turned a thousand times, intersecting with the nodes distributed in different places, like a large array that was constantly running, covering the entire main city of Lingdie.
It is precisely under the influence of this spiritual spirit that the severe cold in the main city of Spirit Butterfly recedes and the snow turns into rain.
In what should be a harsh climate, it provides a warm and comfortable living space for the entire ethnic group.
Wei Tao took a deep breath of warm and moist air and thought of the transparent wings behind Lingqi.
She just said that because she had not truly received the inheritance, she could not take him to the secret realm yet.
It was precisely for this reason that she couldn't come up with the most secret method of Spirit Butterfly that he wanted to study for a while.
However, looking at the beautiful patterns on the transparent wings on her back, and then sensing the spiritual meaning surrounding her, there are some subtle differences from before.
Therefore, she should have accepted the inheritance of the secret realm.
But it was concealed in front of him.
But Wei Tao didn't care too much about this.
Because he has more important things to do now than exploring the secret realm.
It's not too late to go to the secret realm to have a look after this is done.
Wei Tao thought silently and unknowingly arrived at the edge of Lingdie's main city.
There seems to be a looming dividing line ahead.
It's warm as spring inside, with a steady drizzle.
Outside, the cold wind howled and the snow swayed.
He let out a soft breath, ignored the respectful salutes of the guarding soldiers, and took another step forward.
Uh-huh!
Ice crystals and snowflakes hit my face.
The temperature dropped sharply in an instant.
Wei Tao seemed unaware of this. He stretched out his wings behind his back, and his figure suddenly grew in size, turning into a long black rainbow, which sank into the depths of the thick and low-hanging dark clouds like lightning.
………………
……………………
Click!
Wei Tao raised his sickle, brought half of the body of a flying ant in gorgeous armor to his mouth, and then began to slowly enjoy the delicious meal.
He has already tasted more than one of the three types of spiritual butterfly, flying ant, and seven-star species, and even the mistress of the spiritual butterfly has entered his belly.
But only the flying ants are different.
It is a trivial matter that flying ants are more nutritious, and other species can achieve the same effect by eating a few more bites.
The key is the "hallucinogenic" effect of the Ant Power God, which is the ability he values most.
It always makes him fall into a trance, deepening his connection with the spiritual world between heaven and earth, and perceiving things related to the dream of the Lord of the Star Ring.
The flying ant I just met must have a high status. Whether it is the patterns on her wings or the physical appearance that is the same as that of humans, she is distinguished from other flying ants.
She is also the first flying ant warrior who can withstand the impact of Killing Scythe and confront him head-on.
But this only made her death more miserable.
Although her use of spiritual power was extremely exquisite, and the long and short swords in her hands were also mysterious and cunning, she only managed three moves under the increasingly violent scythe, and she and the sword were split into two pieces. There was no hope of survival.
Until the last moment of her life, she couldn't figure out why that weird mantis was so powerful.
No matter the speed force.
Or the terrifying giant double sickles.
All brought her a full experience of despair.
Her exquisite swordsmanship and magical spells, which she had been proud of, were useless in this battle. She was crushed to death and had almost no power to fight back.
Wei Tao naturally didn't care about her unwillingness and anger. He ate the flying ants on the ground in a few bites, closed his eyes and deeply felt and felt.
Silently, the spiritual thoughts gathered quickly.
The low roar of the beast mixed in the wind, and seemed to sound directly in the depths of consciousness.
It kept shaking his spirit, bringing a trembling and wonderful feeling.
At this moment, he seemed to come to that wilderness again, and was looking up at the crack in the sky with the Lord of the Star Ring and other monks. A giant beast as big as a mountain slowly squeezed in from it.
It was dead.
But it seemed that there was still a breath of majestic power left.
Surrounding this incomplete corpse, they fell heavily to the ground together.
Suddenly, there was a light snap.
It interrupted Wei Tao's reverie.
A silver nameplate fell down.
There were intricate patterns engraved on it, and in the middle was a large number, which shone with crystal clear light against the white snow.
Wei Tao looked down and immediately had some guesses about her identity.
She should be the third princess of the flying ant tribe.
No wonder she has such strength. If we look at her defense ability alone, she is even stronger than the so-called high priest.
The high priest only took one sickle from him, and then he was shaking like a sieve and couldn't stand up. This female flying ant took three sickles from him in one breath before her defense was broken and her body was cut off.
Comparing the two, it is obvious who is stronger and who is weaker.
But what made Wei Tao even happier was that perhaps because of her more noble bloodline, the nutrition of the third princess was also richer. It tasted like a white spirit fruit that was more concentrated than a hundred times, and even deepened his perception of spiritual meaning a little bit.
"The power and aura surrounding the Moon Beast seem to have an inexplicable connection with the spiritual meaning lingering around the world."
"Whether it is the Spirit Butterfly or the Seven Stars, especially the Flying Ant Clan, they all seem to have an inseparable relationship with the Moon Beast."
"It's a pity that every time I enter a trance, I only taste it briefly and never really break through the membrane and go deep into it. It's just like scratching an itch through a shoe, which makes people irritated."
"Not enough, or not enough, I must increase the dosage and take the initiative to eat all the flying ants I see!"
Swish!
Wei Tao spread his wings and soared into the sky.
He began to search for the next batch of food to hunt.
Soon after, a team of flying ants aroused his interest.
"I smell the taste of the white spirit fruit, this fresh and sweet feeling."
"In addition, there is a mouth-watering mysterious aroma that has been challenging my bottom line of patience."
Wei Tao hid in the depths of the vast wind and snow, observing the well-equipped team from afar.
Each flying ant has a delicate and beautiful face. Unlike those mass-produced ordinary warriors, even if they are not as good as the one he just killed, their strength may not be much different.
As the distance between the two sides approached, he slowly adjusted his posture and was ready to attack suddenly.
But in the next moment.
The team stopped without any warning.
Then, a golden light curtain suddenly rose, covering all the flying ants tightly.
There was also a sharp and shrill alarm, which sounded at the same time.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
Wei Tao had a blank expression on his face and carefully observed the light curtain.
The spiritual thoughts were winding and circulating, giving him a vaguely familiar feeling, as if he was facing a miniature version of the main city of the Spirit Butterfly.
"I was discovered directly at such a long distance and hidden so secretly?"
"I think even a high priest of the flying ant tribe didn't have such a keen observation."
"No, it's not that they discovered me, but that there was something wrong with the things they transported."
"That box that looked a little strange, the spiritual thoughts were shot out from it, and it seemed to have swept across my body just now."
He narrowed his eyes and raised his sickle-like front paws high.
Since we have been discovered, we should switch from sneak attack to strong attack.
Boom!
A strong wind suddenly rose, and murderous intent was everywhere.
A hole was broken in the flying snow.
The next moment, Wei Tao appeared at the edge of the light curtain, and without any warning, he smashed down with a sickle.
Inside the light curtain, all the flying ants were stunned at the same time.
They were motionless, staring at the sudden hideous figure, and for a moment they even thought they were dreaming.
Boom!
The giant sickle fell and hit the light curtain.
The light curtain trembled for a while, but finally stabilized.
Wei Tao's eyes flashed with a look of surprise, but he didn't care too much.
If one sickle doesn't work, then two sickles.
If two sickles still don't work, then a few more sickles.
Until the tortoise shell is smashed and the delicious tender meat inside is eaten.
Boom!
Boom boom boom boom!
The two sickles were swung like lightning, forming a dark shadow curtain.
The huge crashing sound was like thunder, reaching the ears of the flying ants, and instantly shocked them to the point of paleness, and they could hardly even stand.
Crack!
Suddenly there was a crisp sound.
After countless attacks, the shaky light curtain finally couldn't hold on, and suddenly broke into countless tiny pieces, revealing the flying ant warriors who had been stunned below.
Then it was time to enjoy the food.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, all the elite flying ants were eaten by him, without even a trace of residue left.
Next is the beautifully decorated box with complex patterns engraved on its surface.
The mysterious aroma that made him salivate emanated from the inside of the box.
Click!
Wei Tao carefully pried open a gap in the box lid.
Bright light shot out through the gap, illuminating the surrounding area in a golden color.
His eyes were full of curiosity and he looked inside.
Inside the box is a rhombus crystal.
It is all golden and still shining.
But that wasn't the point. What really surprised him was the familiar feeling brought by the crystal.
It seems to be somewhat similar to the star core crystal placed in the Cave Sky Realm.
Plop!
The lid was thrown aside.
Wei Tao held his breath and concentrated, reaching out to pick up the crystal.
It is as beautiful as a dream.
It smells sweet every moment.
Driving him to open his mouth and put it into his mouth bit by bit.
There was a crisp sound.
Wei Tao couldn't restrain himself and took a bite.
It was like a thunder exploded in the back of my mind.
His whole body froze suddenly, as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer, and blood flowed out happily from his seven orifices.
Wei Tao was completely unaware of this, he just stood motionless in the wind and snow, staring at the void in front of him.
In front of what can be observed and sensed, everything is undergoing drastic changes.
The thick mass of darkness extended out, seemingly endless and endless.
Then another group of golden light rose slowly.
It illuminated a large area of darkness and finally fell on him.
"This feeling is somewhat similar to the secret atmosphere in the Spirit Butterfly Spire Palace, but it is very different in subtle ways."
"So, what I just ate is probably a treasure related to the secret realm of flying ants."
An idea flashed in Wei Tao's mind, and he carefully observed the golden light that was constantly changing its shape.
"You're weird."
Suddenly, a strange voice came from the golden light.
It seemed to ring directly in the depths of his consciousness.
"I'm pretty ordinary, nothing weird about me."
Wei Tao sighed, "In my opinion, your sudden voice is actually even more strange."
"No, you are the strange being in this world."
The golden light surged slowly, seeming to be brewing words.
"In my messy memories, only the group of alien life forms that suddenly appeared decades ago have more similarities with you.
They seem to call themselves Void Walkers and belong to an organization called the Eye of the Void. "
"oh?"
Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "I am very interested in what you are talking about. We can discuss it in detail later."
"But now, I have more important questions that I need you to answer."
"Speaking."
"Who are you, and why can you establish such a smooth spiritual connection with me?"
"I am not a thing."
Deep in the darkness, the golden light slowly rotated, transforming into a polyhedron in the shape of a compound eye.
After a pause, it continued, "To be precise, I should be the mistress of the Flying Ant Clan.
The reason why I can establish a connection with you is because you have eaten many of my children and the crystals that I have finally condensed, so I can capture your mental fluctuations and establish a short-term connection with you. "
"The Mistress of the Flying Ant Clan?"
Wei Tao frowned slightly, "You confuse me. After all, I have met two spiritual butterfly mistresses before, and you and them don't seem to be the same type of life at all."
"The mistress of Spirit Butterfly..."
The golden compound eyes blinked, "Perhaps she has not integrated with the secret nest like me, so she can maintain her original form instead of becoming the same as me."
"I know about the secret realm, but this is the first time I heard about the Brood."
Wei Tao thought thoughtfully, "You are integrated with the mother's nest. What does this mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything. It was just to listen to the mother goddess's oracle that I finally took this step."
"According to the history I know, hasn't the Mother Goddess already died? How could there be a so-called oracle?
Mistress of the Flying Ant Tribe, you are sitting at home with nothing to do. You must have been defrauded by telecommunications. "
Wei Tao sighed and said seriously, "Now hurry up and tell me where your specific address is. I must go over and have a chat with you to prevent you from transferring the money out of nowhere."
“I don’t quite understand what you mean, and I won’t tell you my specific location.
And I must warn you, if you take another step forward, you will be attacked even more strongly by the flying ants. "
"You can believe in the Mother Goddess, but you don't believe that I care about you."
"I have just said that you give me a strange feeling, similar to those beings from the Eye of the Void, so you only have one purpose in finding me, and that is to use various means to enslave me.
In my somewhat confused memory, this is something that happened decades ago, and I must always pay attention and be vigilant. "
The sound faded little by little and gradually disappeared into the invisible.
Immediately afterwards, the golden light and darkness disappeared at the same time, and the wind and snow covered the world again.
"I would rather eat you than enslave you."
Wei Tao put away the opened box and continued to move forward without hesitation.
