Chapter 111 Spirit Bee
In the valley, Huang Qi looked at True Lord Blood Sea with some doubts:
"Why don't Fellow Daoist Blood Sea release all these wind wolves? With Fellow Daoist's current strength, why can't the Qingmu Sect easily capture them?"
Xuehai just smiled:
"Fellow Daoist Huangqi, don't worry, this Qingmu Sect still has some strength. Recently, they invited a third-level alchemist with alchemy cultivation, who seems to have some knowledge of the blood method."
Huang Qi’s face looked a little surprised:
"Oh? The human alchemy master is just taking advantage of this excitement. Could it be that he is willing to give up his life?"
"Who knows? But judging from his methods, it seems that he knows the inside story of the Wind Wolf turmoil. I am worried that there is an expert behind it, so I have to be cautious."
Huang Qi was heartbroken after hearing this:
"Master, is this the Nascent Soul of the human race?"
"Probably, we will need some help from fellow Taoist Huangqi then."
The latter nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps in the cave in the valley behind.
The sound was dull, as if some kind of giant creature was walking out of the cave.
Only when the thing came into the sunlight did its huge figure appear.
It was the third-order wind wolf that Xuehai wanted to capture.
The latter is no longer in a sluggish state, and his hair is smooth and bright, with a faint silver light flowing.
Huang Qi was a little moved when he saw this:
"Fellow Blood Sea Daoist has really chosen a good body. Although this demon is only at the third level, it has some Silver Moon Wolf blood.
He is born with the ability to absorb the power of the moonlight. If he can break through the fourth level with this monster body, the difficulty will be much lower. "
After hearing this, the wolf spoke human words:
"What Taoist friend Huang Qi said is true. However, I have no idea of transforming into a demon body. I just want to use this demon power to deal with the Qingmu Sect and the upcoming mysterious enemy."
Feng Lang's tone of voice and the expression between his brows were almost the same as those of the Blood Sea. Huang Qi knew that the Blood Sea had completely taken over this monster body.
"That's such a shame."
Most of the monsters living in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains are leftover from the ancient war between humans and monsters. After nearly ten thousand years of evolution, most of them have deviated from the original evolutionary trajectory of monsters.
As a result, the monsters become weaker and weaker, and atavism rarely occurs.
If this wind wolf is allowed to continue practicing, he will soon be able to break through to the fourth level and become the new demon king of this land after the Moon King.
'It's a pity that I was plucked by the sea of blood. Otherwise, after it breaks through, the blood and bones obtained will be an excellent treasure for nourishing oneself. ’
"Haha, it's just a third-level demon wolf, what's the pity.
In terms of pity, it is far less than the fourth-level wind wolf back then. It was the true ancestral moon wolf. If Taoist Naruowu hadn't killed him first, I would definitely have taken his body and returned to the realm of the Nascent Soul. "
There was a bit of a smile in the humanoid Xuehai's eyes, but he didn't take the old fourth-level demon wolf into his eyes at all.
Huang Qi shook his head.
True Lord Blood Sea paid no attention to his actions. The skin on his hands cracked, and blood lines like living creatures emerged from them, pouring into the blood wolf's body.
Under the filling of blood lines, the latter's body became larger and larger, and the aura on his body became thicker, and he was vaguely about to break through the threshold of the third and fourth levels.
But the humanoid blood sea stopped at this moment.
‘This demon wolf realm is just an empty frame filled with blood lines. It has no strength but no foundation. If it breaks through the fourth level at this moment, I am afraid it will become broken bones under the thunder tribulation.
This will not only result in the loss of a wolf demon blood body, but it may also affect oneself. The gain outweighs the loss! ’
Huang Qi saw the demon wolf whose pressure was getting heavier and heavier, and then looked at the sea of blood whose aura was constantly weakening, and couldn't help but asked doubtfully:
"Since Taoist fellow Taoist is using this wolf body as a thug, is it putting the cart before the horse by weakening himself to gain the demonic body in this way? Aren't you worried about weakening the body and being killed?"
"Haha, isn't Daoist Fellow Huangqi here? I have great trust in Fellow Daoist. I believe that with the strength of Fellow Daoist, I will not let you be easily harmed by thieves."
Huang Qi was stunned and thought:
‘This True Lord of Blood Sea is too careless. It’s really…’
As Huang Qi was slandering in his heart, True Lord Blood Sea flicked his right sleeve, and the strong wolf demon left this place on all fours and headed towards the exit of the valley.
This trip is naturally to meet the mysterious monk who ruined his plan.
Xuehai looked at Huangqi's confused expression, and felt the large group of wind wolves and spiritual cultivators around him.
‘The cunning rabbit has three burrows, and I have more than three burrows! ’
······
Wei Zhong and his party headed towards a route under the guidance of Yu Xianglan.
This road does not pass through the Qingmu Sect's first-line station, but is more southeast. There are tall trees along the way, and some low-level monsters can be seen from time to time.
‘It seems that the Qingmu Sect has almost completely cleaned up the surrounding monsters. ’
Wei Zhong looked at the bare spiritual fruit trees on the side and sighed in his heart:
"Even the Spirit Fruit Tree of this level has not been spared, and all its leaves have been removed."
He shook his head and continued to run behind Yu Xianglan, hearing his warnings in his ears.
"We are about to enter the territory of a bee swarm ahead. Although the queen bee is only the second level, this bee swarm is quite difficult to mess with.
There is a strange venom on its tail needle. Even if it stings on the monk's skin, it will cause severe pain and itching.
If the stung area is large enough, it may even block the movement of spiritual energy in the monk's body. You should be careful not to disturb this group of difficult monster bees. "
Tan Tai Lin was stunned when he heard this: "Could it be the Soul Devouring Ghost Bee?"
It was a voice transmission, and Wei Zhong was the only one who heard it.
"Senior, I wonder what this Soul Devouring Ghost Bee is?"
The other party chuckled:
"This is a fierce thing. In the classification of spiritual practitioners like us, it is a kind of spiritual insect, famous for its strong bee venom.
However, there are too few of them in the cultivation world, so not many people know about it.
It is a unique spiritual bee with a pale yellow body and a purple tail. The venom in its body can stiffen the body of a cultivator.
If the scale of the bee colony is large enough, it is enough to kill high-level spiritual practitioners with its number.
Even if a Jindan cultivator encounters a large number of second-level Soul Devouring Ghost Bees, it will be difficult to escape.
Even if you use that unique defensive spiritual method, there will be a moment when your spiritual power is exhausted. Don't provoke such monsters. Listen to this girl and go around."
Wei Zhong nodded when he heard it, and did not intend to test the Soul Devouring Ghost Bee with his own strength.
Since Tan Tai Lin, a senior Yuanying, said so, Wei Zhong had no reason to get into trouble.
However, Wei Zhong didn't want to provoke this bee monster, but it came to his door.
A pale yellow spirit bee flew past everyone's eyes. Yu Xianglan saw this and her face froze. She couldn't help wondering:
"Could it be that there are spirit flowers nearby that have reached their flowering period?"
The flowering period of spirit flowers is not like the flowers in the mortal world that show a certain pattern according to the season.
Instead, it changes unpredictably due to the influence of the concentration of spiritual energy in the surrounding environment.
If the spiritual energy is sufficient, the flowering period of many spirit flowers will be rapidly shortened, just like the white jade lotus in Wei Zhong's cave, which is in full bloom all year round.
"Everyone, be careful, don't try to kill or drive away this kind of spirit bee. We will slowly retreat and bypass this place."
Yu Xianglan instructed everyone.
She was depressed. She didn't expect to encounter such a difficult demon insect just after setting out.
The twenty or so foundation builders under their command all had good qualities, and no one disobeyed Yu Xianglan's orders.
Even if a few spirit bees landed on their bodies, they only condensed a layer of spiritual light shield to prevent the spirit bees from attacking them.
Everyone circled around, trying to get rid of the spirit bees, but the more they circled around, the more spirit bees there were.
Wei Zhong couldn't help but wonder: 'How come these spirit bees are so widespread. '
Dozens of people withdrew at least dozens of miles, but still couldn't get rid of the entanglement of the spirit-eating ghost bees.
In order to avoid being hurt by the spirit bees, the cultivators under their command who were already in the early stage of foundation building had consumed most of their spiritual power to condense the spiritual light shield, and their faces turned pale.
Wei Zhong saw Yu Xianglan's expression, and saw that she was also puzzled.
So he sent a message to Tan Tai Lin: "Senior, do you have any idea about this?"
Tan Tai Lin thought for a while and replied:
"Soul-eating ghost bees are scattered in such a large scale, most likely to collect a large amount of various spiritual honeys rich in spiritual energy."
Wei Zhong was puzzled when he heard this: "Could it be that the queen bee in the bee colony has advanced?"
Tan Tai Lin nodded: "Nearly."
Then he continued: "Wei boy, this soul-eating ghost bee is not an ordinary insect, especially when it reaches the third level. If it can be carefully cultivated, it is not impossible to threaten the Nascent Soul with it."
"Why, is the senior interested in it?"
Tan Tai Lin laughed:
"Although I am jealous, I am not good at driving spiritual beasts. Not to mention this kind of spiritual insects.
But I see that you have some beast control skills, and you have two good second-level spiritual beasts under your command. Aren't you tempted by it?"
Wei Zhong admitted that he was indeed tempted.
Spirit insects are one of the best spirit beasts in the cultivation world, not to mention this kind of spirit bee with the potential for cross-level combat.
Even a group of first-level spirit bees are enough to deal with the group of wind wolves that are about to be encountered.
Moreover, Wei Zhong has no shortage of resources. If most of these spirit bees can be cultivated to the third level, they will not be so cowardly when facing the Nascent Soul, and they will not just rely on the Taoism of Time to deal with them.
Moreover, since it is a spirit bee, there must be spirit honey. As a winemaker and alchemist, Wei Zhong may be able to deduce a spirit wine recipe or a spirit pill recipe based on this.
‘This spirit bee is still collecting spirit honey, which means it is still in the accumulation stage and has not broken through to the third level. If it breaks through, there will be no such good opportunity. ’
Wei Zhong hesitated in his heart, but finally made up his mind to go and see it.
"If the junior leaves, what should the senior do?"
"Of course I will go with you! I have practiced for many years but have never seen the entity of this bee. I am very curious. Now that I have the chance, I naturally cannot miss it."
Wei Zhong did not expect that Tan Tai Lin planned to do so. He turned back and sent a message to Yu Xianglan:
"Yu Daoyou, the range of this spirit bee is too wide. It may be difficult for the people of your sect to survive until they are out of the range of this spirit bee.
I will go with Senior Tan Tai to deal with the queen bee. Please take the others and wait for a while. We will return later."
Yu Xianglan was a little confused when she heard this.
Although the spiritual power of those disciples in the early stage of foundation building is not good, as long as the few people in the Jindan stage help, it will not take much time to get out of this place. There is no need to risk to provoke the spirit bee.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Xianglan still did not choose to dissuade him. Since the Yuanying cultivators made such a choice, there must be a cause and effect that she did not know.
"Please be careful, Fellow Daoist Tiezhen."
Yu Xianglan warned, and then saw Wei Zhong and Tan Tailin retreating to the back.
Although the other people in the team were confused, no one raised any questions.
Looking at the spirit bees surrounding the people, they also roughly understood the reason.
Wei Zhong and Tan Tai Lin fled like ghosts towards the place where the spirit bees were densely packed.
Along the way, the surrounding spirit-eating ghost bees did not notice the two human cultivators who were much larger than themselves.
Wei Zhong's breath-retaining technique and invisibility technique were both at the master level, and the mere first-level spirit bees had no chance of discovering his traces.
Tan Tai Lin was a Yuanying, and he was also good at this breath-retaining technique.
Like two ghosts, the two of them easily approached the queen bee.
It was under a mountain rift with a large flower bush on the periphery. A large number of spirit-eating ghost bees gathered here, and the buzzing sound was endless.
Wei Zhong's consciousness spread out and saw the queen bee who just crawled out of the hive.
The other party was as big as an adult's fist, which was far beyond the size of an ordinary worker bee.
Especially the dark purple sewing needle of the other party, which was as long as a finger, made Wei Zhong feel a little cold when he saw it.
‘If this thing stings you, half of your head will be destroyed. No wonder it is said to be extremely dangerous and has cross-level combat power.’
‘But fortunately, it is only a second-level queen bee!’
Wei Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them kept getting closer to the queen bee, squeezed through the crowded swarm of bees, and came to the bottom of the mountain.
“Wei boy, get ready before you act, be careful that the queen bee controls the swarm to attack you.”
Wei Zhong nodded, and black water emerged from his hand, isolating himself and the queen bee from the swarm of bees outside.
Such behavior naturally exposed the two of them, and the swarm of bees suddenly became agitated, rushing towards the sphere condensed by the black water.
From the outside, the black water spirit clothes formed a protective layer as if wrapped in a layer of yellow outer clothes.
Wei Zhong inside couldn't help but change his face, and the spiritual power in his body was rapidly consumed like a flood.
‘No, I have to speed up. ’
Wei Zhong grabbed the fist-sized queen bee. The latter dared to resist, so Wei Zhong directly attacked with a half-condensed Soul-Stirring.
The Soul-Stirring that was consumed in the previous battle with Yi Liu was only half condensed, which was just suitable for dealing with this second-level spirit bee.
Sure enough, after Wei Zhong's attack, the latter suddenly collapsed and his consciousness was weak.
A true seal condensed in Wei Zhong's consciousness and imprinted it into the head of the spirit bee.
When he was promoted to the Jindan stage before, Wei Zhong took back several true seals that were left in the Jinmei sea of consciousness, and now he just separated one from the queen bee.
Without feeling too much resistance, Wei Zhong quickly established a connection between the spirit bee and himself.
‘It is indeed a peak second-level queen bee, only a step away from the third level. ’
At the moment when Wei Zhong controlled the queen bee, the bee swarm attacking from the outside suddenly stopped.
On the other side, Tan Tai Lin reached deep into the queen bee's nest and took out a bright yellow amber-like condensate.
