Chapter 39: An Unexpected Surprise

Fang Yun didn't care about the past. He just knew that he had settled a grudge today, which made him feel relieved.

His current strength is really a world-shaking change from what he was a year ago. At that time, it was difficult to kill a chicken, let alone kill someone.

Not to mention the many exquisite spells he knows now, especially the last move he performed, the water arrows in the sky, which almost exhausted half of his magic power.

If it weren't for this move, He Hong would have been killed when Fang Yun fell.

"Fortunately, the spiritual power in my body has been purified several times, and the quality is completely comparable to the sixth level of chain qi. Otherwise, I can't use it. He Hong is not at a loss for losing this move."

Poor He Hong, he didn't know who killed him until he died, and Fang Yun didn't reveal his true face in the end. I hope he can know it in the afterlife!

Although he went through the life and death gate, Fang Yun was exhausted physically and mentally, especially his soul was burned by the blood and qi, and it would take a long time to recover.

This was Fang Yun's first time killing someone, but not his first time seeing a dead person. He did not feel any disgust from killing someone for the first time, but felt more happy. He not only got rid of a powerful enemy, but also got spoils of war. This was really a blessing in disguise.

Fang Yun calmed down and picked up He Hong's storage bag, which contained some spiritual stones and elixirs, as well as a few insect eggs, and a book.

There were not many spiritual stones, only twelve, so it was no wonder that he lost the fight with Fang Yun for royal jelly.

The insect eggs were naturally the eggs of the golden bees, and the elixirs were also varied, most of which Fang Yun did not recognize.

Fang Yun checked the book and found that it was a book of hundreds of insects, which recorded some spiritual insects and their breeding methods, as well as some special methods. It mentioned the soul-eating insect and the centipede that attacked Fang Yun.

The centipede was called the blood-marked centipede, which was extremely fast and highly poisonous. It needed to suck blood to feed it, so that it could be raised and improved.

Fang Yun felt disgusted, but also somewhat relieved that he was not bitten by it.

He flipped through the pages and found the page about the Soul Devourer. There was only a brief introduction.

Soul Devourer: The 27th of the Wonderful Insects of Heaven and Earth. It devours souls and takes away spirits. It usually exists in the state of souls. It cannot be attacked by any magic.

I don't know where He Hong got it from. This kind of spiritual insect is very valuable. It is estimated that He Hong's spiritual stones are all spent on it.

Fang Yun was indeed not wrong. He Hong accidentally discovered this spiritual insect in the black market. The boss who sold the Soul Devourer had a poor vision, but he was shrewd and cunning.

The other party did not know the Soul Devourer, but he saw He Hong's intention to get it. He deliberately raised the price and made a lot of money from He Hong, which cost He Hong more than 200 spiritual stones.

Unfortunately, He Hong had just got it and did not refine it to the point where he could control it. He was in a life-and-death crisis and had to release it to deal with Fang Yun. He was injured by Fang Yun's blood and qi burning.

The soul-eating insect was extremely ferocious and extremely evil in nature. It was injured in the immortal space, but it could not do anything to Fang Yun, and Fang Yun could not do anything to it either.

He had to release it, but unexpectedly, the insect did not attack Fang Yun, but chose to devour its master, and died directly with He Hong's soul.

Originally, He Hong had not finished the sacrifice, and there were traces of the insect devouring its master.

"Unfortunately, it has turned into ashes along with He Hong's soul!"

Fang Yun endured the nausea and split He Hong's brain with a knife, but saw that it was empty inside, and the soul-eating insect disappeared without a trace, leaving only a skin bag with a burned soul.

"Where is the skill? Why is there no skill? Where is He Hong's method of controlling insects?"

He Hong controls the soul-eating insects and the blood-marked centipede, so there must be a method of controlling insects, but there are only methods of raising insects in the book, but no skills of controlling insects.

"Could it be that He Hong didn't bring his skills with him? Damn it!"

Finally, Fang Yun searched He Hong's body and found a jade pendant. This jade pendant looked quite extraordinary, with some strange patterns engraved on it.

Fang Yun carefully observed the jade pendant and thought about it.

Other things were nothing special. The long sword used by the other party was actually a first-level low-grade magic weapon, with the word "Liyang" engraved on the blade.

Fang Yun put away the Liyang sword and the jade pendant, and threw a fireball to destroy the body.

The raging fire burned the body, and after a while, only the charred bones were left.

Pick up the remaining debris and throw it into the sea, just to be done. The flesh of the cultivator contains spiritual power, which is an excellent material for fertilizer. If thrown in the space, it is also very good for making flower fertilizer.

But Fang Yun is not interested in this, one is to be cautious and avoid unnecessary trouble, and the other is to feel disgusted.

The blood-marked centipede that was entangled by thorns just now was burned by Fang Yun's fireball, and there should be some residual shells left.

That blood-marked centipede also has the strength of the third level of Qi Refining. As a first-level middle-grade spiritual insect, its body shell can also be used as a material for refining equipment and cannot be wasted.

Fang Yun walked over to take a look, but he was very surprised.

The insect shell was burned and curled, filled with a meaty aroma, but it was not burned to ash.

The blood-marked centipede has a certain fire resistance, which prevented it from being burned. Fang Yun used a short knife to cut open the remaining body and put away its head armor. Although it was only a small piece, it was worth at least three or five spiritual stones.

But unexpectedly, after Fang Yun put away the shell, he found a few white things in the centipede's mouth, which contained spirituality and still had vitality.

"Insect eggs? The insect eggs of the blood-marked centipede, I didn't expect it to be a female centipede."

At that time, Fang Yun released a fireball to burn the centipede to death, but the blood-marked centipede had a certain degree of fire resistance.

It was no problem to withstand the flames for a while, but then He Hong was attacked by the soul-eating insect and was killed by Fang Yun.

The blood contract imprinted in the deep soul of the centipede took its life, but before it died, it laid eggs and held them in its mouth to protect it.

It was only then that Fang Yun discovered it, which was really a pleasant surprise.

The space of the Immortal Mansion has been increasing with his cultivation. He originally planned to use it to raise some spiritual insects, which would not only increase his means of attack, but also obtain more rewards from the Immortal Mansion, which was a win-win situation.

Although he did not get the soul-eating insect this time, he actually got the eggs of the blood-marked centipede, which was quite good.

Moreover, the most important material for raising this thing is rich blood and qi. Fang Yun does not have much else, but he has strong blood and qi, and he is worried about where to use it.

"No wonder He Hong is so skinny even though he is a martial artist who has entered the Dao through martial arts. Did he feed all his blood to the blood-marked centipede?"

If you just want to feed the blood-marked centipede, you can use the blood of other animals, or even other people's blood.

But if you want to control it, you have to feed it with your own blood. Only by raising insects with people can you communicate with each other.

Fang Yun didn't know that He Hong was skinny. After he learned the method of controlling insects a year ago, he specially collected blood-marked centipedes and put his cultivation path on them. Now he looks even thinner.

At this time, Fang Yun was shocked and broke into a cold sweat. If He Hong had found an opportunity to release the spirit insects and sneak attack Fang Yun in the past, he would probably have died without a burial place.

Perhaps, everything was just a coincidence.
