Chapter 477: The Insect Emperor's Cave

In an instant, the soul-eating ants in the stone hall disappeared and all chased out.

This group of people had unique means and seemed to be able to deal with a group of soul-eating ants with ease. As long as they were not surrounded by an endless army of soul-eating ants, there would be no danger.

The people outside understood that Xue Yang had spread the news to attract some cannon fodder to come in and divert the soul-eating ant army so that he could take the opportunity to enter the stone hall.

After entering the stone hall, Xu Hei was thrown to the ground and Ah Yin was put aside.

"Do you want to kill this person?" asked the white-haired old man with murderous intent in his eyes.

Xu Hei did not enter the pavilion, but avoided the soul-eating ants with his own strength, which made them feel out of control.

The white-haired old man originally planned to control Xu Hei with the soul-eating insects directly after he entered the pavilion, but he miscalculated.

Xu Hei suddenly showed a horrified expression and said, "A Yin, what should I do? They want to kill me!"

A Yin hurriedly said, "Kill him, I will commit suicide immediately!"

The group of people suddenly looked gloomy.

"I thought he was nothing, but he turned out to be a coward!" The fat monk showed disgust in his eyes.

Xue Yang stopped talking nonsense and looked at a middle-aged monk in brocade clothes beside him and winked.

The monk in brocade clothes stepped forward and shot out a series of silk threads in his hand, hitting Xu Hei's joints. At this moment, Xu Hei felt that his limbs no longer belonged to him and stood up on his own.

"Puppet line?" Xu Hei recognized at a glance that this was a puppet technique, and it turned out to be someone from the God Puppet Sect.

"If you dare to play any tricks again, I will refine you into a puppet!" The monk in brocade clothes said coldly.

Xu Hei looked panicked and bowed his head and said, "I dare not!"

In this way, Xu Hei was half-controlled by puppet lines and walked towards the passage deep in the stone hall.

Xu Hei's ability to dodge the soul-eating ants was beyond everyone's expectations. Xue Yang then thought of using one person to control Xu Hei, so as to avoid any mistakes in the next plan.

"Swoosh!"

But at this moment, another black umbrella whistled from outside the stone hall and flew into the passage in a rotation. Xue Yang paused, and saw a woman in black appearing in the black umbrella.

Xue Yang said nothing and was about to take action directly. The leader of the Miesheng Gang said, "If you dare to take action, I will immediately release the spirit stone and lead the soul-eating ants outside back!"

As soon as these words came out, Xue Yang stopped his gestures and stared at the black umbrella woman in front of him. After a while, he raised a strange smile.

"Come if you want, but I remind you, don't regret it then." Xue Yang sneered.

"Humph, if I die, no one will want to live."

The leader of the Miesheng Gang just snorted coldly, holding a storage bag in his hand, which was full of spirit stones.

"Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Suddenly, two more figures rushed in from outside and landed in front.

The two men wore gray masks and were covered in a layer of sand. The one on the left carried a gourd on his back. Their cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage.

"Haha, Master Xueyang, you are really generous. No wonder you are so kind to share this place. It turns out that you want to attract a group of cannon fodder!" The man carrying the gourd laughed.

"Who are you?" Xue Yang frowned.

"Who do you care who I am!" The man carrying the gourd laughed.

Xu Hei breathed a sigh of relief. He had recognized that the man carrying the gourd was Luo Gang. The other person should be the helper he invited.

Luo Gang did not break his promise after all.

Xue Yang frowned. He was not afraid of the leader of the Miesheng Gang, but suddenly two people in the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage came in, and their identities were unknown. This was a bit bad.

Although he had more manpower on his side, it was still an unstable factor.

Things were far from over. Another figure floated in from outside. He was dressed in a green shirt and carried a long sword. He was the horse-faced young man from the Tianhen Sword Sect.

However, this person did not reveal his identity. The horse-faced young man smiled and said, "Master Xueyang, what treasure is there in here that is worth your making such a big fuss? Can you tell me a thing or two?"

Xue Yang just snorted coldly and said, "These days, any cat or dog dares to break in. They really don't know how to live or die!"

He no longer paid attention to this group of people and walked straight to the depths of the passage.

The leader of the Miesheng Gang, Luo Gang and the horse-faced young man from the Tianhen Sword Sect, a total of four teams, moved towards the depths of the passage.

In the passage, there were layers of stairs, constantly going down.

On the stone walls on both sides, there were still many stone eggs of the Soul-Eating Ants, but there was a hole on them, indicating that the Soul-Eating Ants had left.

Looking at these densely packed stone eggs, everyone felt cold in their hearts.

If this group of creatures had not been led out, they would not have been able to get in even if they were given a hundred lives.

Everyone followed the stairs down, and some small stone eggs that had not been broken began to appear on the stone eggs on both sides, and the soul-eating ants inside were still in the form of larvae.

This was definitely not a relic from the ancient times, but was brought in by people in later generations.

As everyone continued to move forward, the light suddenly dimmed, and a murderous aura suddenly flashed between heaven and earth.

"Shua shua shua..."

Xue Yang waved his hand, and countless fierce murderous auras flashed, but made a choking collision sound, and were blocked by his magic formula.

There were too many murderous auras, like invisible sharp blades, shooting towards everyone.

Some people used magic weapons to resist, some avoided in advance, and some were hit because they could not dodge in time, and their bodies oozed blood.

Xu Hei could feel these murderous auras even with his eyes closed, and he could completely avoid them in advance.

However, he still acted extremely panicked, with cuts on his body and blood splattering everywhere. In the end, Ah Yin caught him and turned Xu Hei into an illusory state, so that he could avoid some fatal attacks.

During this period, the horse-faced young man was always paying attention to everyone's reaction.

He even paid attention to the soul-eating ants in the stone eggs on both sides.

He excluded this group of people one by one in his mind.

"Strange, is the person who stole the top-grade spirit stone not among them?" The horse-faced young man looked thoughtful.

In fact, this site of the God King Palace ruins is also the spiritual energy collection point of their Tianhen Sword Sect.

However, unlike other ruins, they have never collected this site once.

Because this place is occupied by a group of soul-eating ants, and every time the top-grade spirit stone is not formed, it will be devoured by the soul-eating ants.

They have no way to eliminate the insects and ants here, so they can only leave it vacant.

As for opportunities, of course there are also opportunities, that is, the insect king deep underground and the spiritual pool that nourishes the insect king. As long as the spirit pond is absorbed cleanly, it will definitely allow a Yuanying stage Great Perfection cultivator to try to impact the Shenhua stage.

The purpose of revealing this place to Xue Yang is, first, to clear out the soul-eating ants here, and second, to find out the person who stole the top-grade spirit stone.

As long as the plan is achieved, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

What surprised the horse-faced young man was that he observed for a long time and did not find any suspicious person.

"If there is a top-grade spirit stone on the body, the soul-eating ants will definitely riot when passing through this passage, but there is no!"

"If he has extraordinary perception, this murderous aura can be avoided in advance, but there is no such thing!"

"The latter can still disguise, but the former cannot disguise, is it possible that the other party did not take the bait?"

All kinds of thoughts flashed through the horse-faced young man's mind.

The killing array came and went quickly. The people here are all masters, but there was no damage. Xu Hei relied on Ah Yin's virtualization technique and "barely" survived.

"This killing aura came out of nowhere, obviously man-made. Why is this unnecessary?" Xu Hei was suspicious.

Not long after, they passed through the long and narrow underground passage, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth increased rapidly, as if they had come from a barren land to a blessed land.

This change made everyone happy, which meant that they were getting closer and closer to their destination.

After a few breaths, an empty stone chamber appeared in front of them.

That was where the insect king was sleeping.

"You, put this thing in."

Xue Yang threw an incense burner and put it in Ah Yin's hand.

Ah Yin could only do as he was told, and her body became ethereal and floated into the stone chamber.

In this stone chamber, there lay a huge milky white worm, and the tail of this worm was continuously producing stone eggs, which had already piled up into a mountain.

And next to this worm, there was a deep green pool. Just by smelling it, you could feel the spiritual energy filling in, and your cultivation level would improve.

This was exactly the gathering place of the Tianhen Sword Sect.

However, for a long time, there has been no top-grade spiritual stones here, but a spiritual pond has appeared. Now, there has been no collection for ten thousand years, and the water capacity of the spiritual pond is already very considerable.

Ah Yin placed the incense burner next to the worm, and a smell came out of the incense burner. After a while, the worm fell into a deep sleep.

After doing all this, the crowd outside rushed in quickly.

The white-haired old man looked at Ah Yin and Xu Hei, who was covered with scars, and was about to slap them to death, but Ah Yin shouted: "I left an explosive talisman in the incense burner. If you dare to do it, I will detonate it immediately."

This is of course Ah Yin's cover.

In such a short moment, she didn't have time to carve any talismans in it, let alone the ability to do it.

Of course, Xu Hei taught her to say this.

But this frightened the white-haired old man, who couldn't confirm the truth at the moment, so he could only snort coldly, came to the side of the spiritual pond, sat cross-legged, and quickly breathed in and out.

The others did not delay and quickly rushed to the side of the spirit pond, madly absorbing the spiritual energy in it.

Although the spiritual energy in this spirit pond is not as good as the top-grade spirit stone, the amount is enough. Over the years, it is enough for everyone to improve their cultivation.

Seeing this, Xu Hei took out a gourd and was about to pour spiritual liquid into it.

"Stop! Do you want to die?"

The brocade monk raised his hand, and the puppet line immediately fixed Xu Hei's movements.

"Once something enters this spirit pond, it will be immediately noticed by the mother queen. The sleeping incense is useless, and everyone will be finished!" The brocade monk shouted coldly.

Hearing this, Xu Hei had to sit cross-legged on the side and breathe in and out the spiritual energy.

Seeing Xu Hei so ignorant, everyone couldn't help shaking their heads. If it weren't for Ah Yin's protection, this kid would have died many times.

Xue Yang began to suspect that the reason why Xu Hei was able to avoid the attack of the soul-eating ants just now was because of Ah Yin's virtualization technique, which could virtualize teammates, rather than his own ability.

He thought he had made a mistake, but it turned out to be a waste.

Xue Yang shook his head and thought that Xu Hei was the lowest threat.

He did not sit by the spirit pond and breathe like the others, but stared at the insect king in front of him, took out some formation flags and stuck them everywhere.

Just as everyone entered the insect king's cave.

A red figure like a blazing flame appeared at the gate of the stone hall.

This was a woman with red hair like fire and eyes like frost. There were countless fire birds carved on her robe. Whether it was the soul-eating ants or the ghost-faced stone spiders outside, they all showed fear in their eyes and did not approach.

Others used their own methods to dodge and sneak in quietly.

Only this woman forced her way in!

She was not afraid of these insects at all.

"Swoosh!"

The red-haired woman rushed into the passage like a blazing flame. Neither the formation left by Xue Yang, nor the sand left by Luo Gang, nor the sword energy left by the horse-faced young man were touched.

"Hmm?"

Xu Hei raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart. He looked back outside.

His cultivation was the weakest, but whether it was Xue Yang, the leader of the Miesheng Gang, the horse-faced young man, or even the insect king in front of him, they did not give him such a strong sense of crisis.

So, what is coming in now?

Xu Hei did not change his face, and quietly leaned next to Ah Yin. As long as he encountered an unexpected situation, he would take action immediately.
