Chapter 479: Insect Nine
Swoosh!
An air explosion sounded from the night, shaking the eardrums of Li Qing and Lin Jing.
The multi-mouthed worm, which had escaped a very long distance, seemed to have exhausted its physical strength. At this moment, it suddenly pulled out its tentacles towards the snake-headed spirit boat that was chasing it from behind.
This place is already deep into the territory of Qiushan Domain. It is an exaggerated distance from the Black Wind Domain to here. You can imagine how terrifying the physical strength of a third-level alien beast is.
Li Qing's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he took out the black furnace with his backhand and threw it at the tentacle again.
Clang!
A dull tremor suddenly rang out, and the black furnace was pulled out like a cannonball.
And the tentacle of the multi-mouthed worm also had wounds and cracks, and finally fell down weakly.
Snap!
The giant worm with multiple tentacles rested, its body curled up, and it couldn't stop shaking on the spot.
"Master, is it begging for mercy?" Lin Jing opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief.
Not only can the strange beast escape, but it can also make such a gesture of begging for mercy, which is really unbelievable.
Since she followed her master to travel, her worldview has been broken again and again!
Compared with his apprentice, Li Qing is very cautious. He holds the Hunyuan Wushuang Hammer in one hand and the Netherworld Cold Fire is floating in the other hand.
This strange beast is much more cunning than he imagined. He must not underestimate the enemy and must be prepared for the opponent's counterattack at any time.
Most importantly, Li Qing also wants to figure out why it is so different from other strange beasts.
Although its body looks weird and deformed, it does not have too much ferocity and madness, which really makes him curious.
Swish! Swish!
Because of the trembling of the worm, the ground also made a series of friction sounds.
Should I kill it directly?
Li Qing frowned and couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Thinking of this, Li Qing first released his spiritual consciousness and directly enveloped the talkative worm.
The latter had no intention of resisting and was still trembling in the same place without any reaction.
As the spiritual consciousness penetrated, Li Qing soon discovered something that shocked him.
This worm actually has a demon spirit!
Crack!
Li Qing couldn't help but tighten his hand holding the Hunyuan Wushuang Hammer. Having a demon spirit means that
this is not a strange beast, but a demon beast, or a demon insect!
"It seems that this worm existed long before the end of the law era. It is not a strange beast, but a demon insect."
"But why does it look so strange?"
Li Qing's mouth twitched. He found that the appearance of this demon insect did not match any of his cognition!
When he was still in Lingyun Sect, in order to make up for his knowledge of cultivation, he read many kinds of ancient books.
One of them is called "Records of Strange Insects in Heaven and Earth", which records many strange spirit insects in the world of cultivation.
For example, the Frost Jade Ice Butterfly raised by Shen Ningbing ranked 78th.
Don't think that 78th is too low. You should know that the record of the "Record of Strange Insects of Heaven and Earth" is quite comprehensive. There are even many kinds of spiritual insects that have long been extinct in the human world and cannot be found at all.
Therefore, the Frost Jade Ice Butterfly that recognized Shen Ningbing as its master can be regarded as a rare ancient relic species. It is definitely difficult to find an opponent among the monsters of the same level.
But when his eyes returned to the talkative worm, Li Qing was shocked to find that he could not recognize what kind of strange insect it was!
"It's strange. It has such a strange body shape, but it has reached the third level of strength. Why can't I recognize it at all?"
Li Qing was extremely surprised by this.
Soon, he came up with two possibilities.
Either this worm is an ordinary monster insect with mediocre bloodline and is not recorded in the "Record of Strange Insects of Heaven and Earth".
In other words, it can't be ranked!
The second possibility is that this insect has been bathing in the red moon for so long that it has undergone fundamental changes in form, so it is normal that it cannot be recognized.
"Could it be that when it was still in its infancy, it happened to encounter the end of the law era, and it lost its spiritual energy but was illuminated by the red moon for many years, and it was deformed before it became an adult, causing it to maintain this strange form?"
Speaking of this, he really thought that this possibility was very high!
Maybe this is really a strange insect with a very good bloodline. After all, it is only in the larval form and has not yet emerged as an adult.
Thinking of this, Li Qing suddenly felt reluctant to kill it. What if this is a strange insect that ranks particularly high in the "Record of Strange Insects of Heaven and Earth"?
The greatest use of this strange insect with a strong bloodline is naturally to subdue it and let it grow with itself, and it will become a powerful fighting force in the future.
Killing it is tantamount to killing the chicken to get the eggs.
So. Li Qing finally decided to try to subdue it.
"Submit or die, you choose one."
Li Qing used his own consciousness to transmit a divine thought into the sea of consciousness of the worm. This was a communication of divine thoughts. This worm had already reached the strength of the third level, so basic communication was definitely no problem.
After receiving this divine thought, the trembling worm slowly loosened its tentacles, as if it was sizing up Li Qing.
Li Qing was also very alert. A broken Yuan fire seal suddenly appeared in his hand, and he was about to hit it out if he didn't agree with him.
Finally, the worm let go of its sea of consciousness and let Li Qing slaughter it.
After noticing this scene, Li Qing separated a wisp of his soul and then planted a soul contract in its sea of consciousness.
After initially gaining control over the worm, Li Qing thought about it, and finally shed some blood from his body to form a blood contract.
With the blessing of the two contracts of recognition, the mouthful worm naturally became Li Qing's pet insect.
Although it looks a bit ugly, it is still a third-level alien insect!
If it is brought back to the Great Wilderness in the future, its strength will improve when it recovers its spiritual power.
A combat power in the Jindan period, it's okay to be ugly!
With this idea in mind, Li Qing immediately sent a divine thought to the mouthful worm, asking what kind of spiritual insect it was.
However, the consciousness of the mouthful worm was also very ignorant, and it didn't even know its origin. It only knew that it was like this after it had consciousness.
"That's really a bit difficult." Li Qing smiled bitterly, and then touched a tentacle of the worm in front of him.
It felt soft and sticky, but it was extremely flexible, and it contained great power. No wonder it could withstand his Hunyuan Wushuang Hammer.
"Forget it, no matter what species you are, it's not a loss to be a front row in the future just because of your thick skin and flesh."
As he spoke, Lin Jing behind him couldn't wait to rush forward.
"Master, did you also subdue this strange beast?"
The cat ears on Lin Jing's head fluttered, and his face was full of surprise.
"Well, this worm actually has some intelligence, and it has lost the ability to resist. I thought it would be a pity to kill it, so I subdued it."
Just after he finished speaking, Lin Jing couldn't wait to rush to the worm's body, not disliking the worm's low appearance at all, but poking it left and right with a curious face.
"Wow, this worm is so soft. Master, have you given it a name?"
As he spoke, Lin Jing actually jumped on the worm, as if he was using the poor talkative worm as a trampoline.
Naming.
When Li Qing heard this, he couldn't help but feel a headache.
He never liked naming things, but now he had to think about naming it. After all, if he drove it to fight in the future, he couldn't always call it a talkative worm.
"Well, let me think about it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jing said excitedly:
"Master, why don't you call it Worm Nine? It has nine tentacles, which is too rare!"
Li Qing, who was not good at naming, immediately accepted his apprentice's suggestion after hearing this name.
"Very good!"
