Chapter 257: Strange Insects in the Mountains

The Qingyun flying boat stood on the Yuanzhou Mountain. Everyone looked at the soul lamp fire in Lin Chen's hand pointing downwards, and their eyes were a little solemn.

"Elder, should we go down like this?" The Qingyun inner sect disciple bowed and asked Lin Chen.

Lin Chen sensed the second-level formation below, and his eyes moved: "No hurry, after all, this is someone else's territory, it is not appropriate to rush in rashly. Let's land in front of the mountain first, and then send someone to pay respect to the mountain first. This is basic etiquette."

Huh? !

The Qingyun inner sect disciple raised his head in surprise when he heard it.

Rashly, etiquette?

Is this what their Qingyun Sect should have for the people below? !

'Could it be that this elder is so easy to talk to? ' The Qingyun inner sect disciple was a little confused, but still responded.

Soon, the Qingyun flying boat landed in front of Yuanzhou Mountain, and the Qingyun inner sect disciple directly arranged for people to go to pay respect to the mountain.

'Does the Bai family really not know whether to live or die? How dare you attack someone from my sect? ! 'The inner disciple of Qingyun looked towards the interior of Yuanzhou Mountain with a cold look in his eyes.

Although this was the other party's territory, he was not too afraid.

After all, the foundation-building elder of our sect was standing next to him. If there was really a problem, the elder would not easily go in... huh? !

The eyes of the inner disciple of Qingyun suddenly widened, because when he glanced in the direction of Lin Chen just now, he unexpectedly saw two intertwined figures appearing under the bright sunshine? !

What's going on, two elders?

"What's wrong?" Lin Chen in front of him seemed to have noticed something and turned his head to ask.

"No, nothing." The inner disciple of Qingyun rubbed his eyes and found that there was only one person in front of him. He thought he had an illusion for a moment and quickly responded.

'I just used the clone to replace the original body, and he happened to be seen by him? '

Lin Chen's eyes moved. The reason why he landed was to replace the original body underground with the clone.

After all, facing the unknown situation in the mountain, even if Lin Chen is very powerful, he is not stupid enough to take risks in person, but plans to use one of the only three foundation-building clones on his body to explore the situation.

‘But it doesn’t matter if you see it…’ Lin Chen glanced at the other person indifferently and retracted his gaze.

In front, the disciples sent to pay respect to the mountain soon brought out two Qi-refining cultivators in white clothes with white words on their chests.

“The disciples of the Bai family are here to pay respects to the master of the upper sect!” The two cultivators saw Lin Chen and saluted hurriedly.

“Ask your family master to come out to see me!” Lin Chen said with his hands behind his back.

“The family master has already set up a banquet on the mountain, waiting for the master of the upper sect to come, and I hope the master will follow us!” said the two cultivators.

"Oh?" Lin Chen looked at the two of them with a smile, waved his hand, and said, "In that case, let's go up the mountain!"

"This... Elder, is there a trick?"

The Qingyun inner sect disciple beside him heard this, his face darkened, and he stepped forward to Lin Chen and whispered a reminder.

"It takes too much time to attack from the outside. It will be bad if they escape. I personally prefer to solve them all at once and don't want to make too many troubles." Lin Chen said lightly.

"This..." The Qingyun inner sect disciple was stunned after hearing this.

Is this elder so confident in his own strength? Isn't he afraid of a capsize in the ditch?

Even though he was puzzled, he could only grit his teeth when he saw Lin Chen striding forward, and led the other cultivators to follow.

Soon, they entered the interior of Yuanzhou Mountain.

This place is like most other immortal cultivation forces. There are spiritual fields and spiritual pools everywhere in the mountains where spiritual energy is abundant. Many mortals and cultivators come and go to plant.

There are also many older cultivators coming and going on the mountain road they are walking on.

Everything is a very normal scene.

"Elder, it seems that there is nothing wrong here." After observing for a long time, the inner disciple of Qingyun said in a low voice.

"Really?" Lin Chen's face remained unchanged and asked back, "Feel the spiritual energy content in the air."

Hmm?

Upon hearing this, the inner disciple of Qingyun immediately felt the concentration of spiritual energy in the air, and then a deep surprise appeared on his face.

"How can the spiritual energy content of this second-level spiritual mountain be so little?!"

In his perception, the concentration of spiritual energy in the air, let alone reaching the standard of the second-level spiritual mountain, is probably close to a place without spiritual energy!

"Elder, what's going on?!" He asked in surprise.

"Do I need to ask? It's obvious that there's something wrong with the underground spiritual veins. Something has occupied it." Lin Chen replied casually.

Then, he turned around and walked in another direction.

But he didn't walk far before he was stopped by the nearby Bai family cultivators.

"Master, the direction of the top of the mountain is this way." A Bai family cultivator stepped forward and said expressionlessly.

As he spoke, the people seen by Lin Chen and others were walking on the nearby roads, working in the fields, and busy on the road...

All the people of the Bai family froze at this moment, turned their heads and stared at Lin Chen and others expressionlessly.

Their eyes were dull and empty, their faces were numb and stiff, giving people the feeling that they were a long-dead corpse staring at everyone, which was indescribably scary.

"Elder!" The Qingyun Sect disciples who came with Lin Chen saw this and their faces changed, and they subconsciously leaned towards Lin Chen.

"Sir, the top of the mountain is on this side..." At this moment, everyone spoke in unison, and the overlapping voices echoed in the mountains, which was indescribably creepy.

"Elder, we should now..." When the Qingyun inner disciple was about to turn his head to look at Lin Chen and ask what to do next.

But he felt a ball of fire flash across his face.

Lin Chen didn't talk so much nonsense, but took action directly!

Bang!

The terrifying flames fell into the crowd and exploded instantly, like a ulcer attached to the bone, spreading along the blood flow, one after another, and countless human-shaped fire pillars rose in the field instantly!

But what everyone didn't expect was that the burning Bai family did not make any screams, but instead countless dense alien insects flew out of their bodies!

"This!" Many cultivators saw this scene in front of them, and instantly understood it, and their faces became particularly ugly.

Obviously, these people from the Bai family have become the hosts of these alien insects!

The next moment, dense and overwhelming alien insects rushed directly towards them!

In a flash, fireballs, wind blades, lightning... countless attacks rose from the hands of Qingyun disciples, directly blocking the attack of alien insects.

And Lin Chen directly used the special fireball technique to clear the way in front, and finally, they came directly to a cave leading to the underground!

"Elder, where are we going?" The inner disciple of Qingyun, who was struggling to resist, asked while controlling the spiritual weapon in his hand.

"The birth of these alien insects can't escape the word spiritual energy after all." Lin Chen looked at the cave in front of him with a dim look, "Therefore, in order to reproduce in large numbers, the place where these alien insect mothers are located is probably in the underground spiritual veins!"

With the help of the spiritual sense search just now, he has successfully determined the location of the cave entrance to the underground spiritual veins!

"You block the pursuit of these parasitic hosts, I will go down to deal with the mother!" After saying that, Lin Chen flew directly into the cave.

"......Ah?!" Before the other cultivators could respond, Lin Chen disappeared.

By the time they reacted, the Bai family members from other places on the mountain had already gathered here.

The alien insects scattered in the mountain and in the trap on the top of the mountain all turned back here.

But even if they turned back, they were blocked by the disciples of Qingyun Sect and could not reunite with the insect mother underground!

Lin Chen pretended to follow them into the trap, but in fact he induced them to split up and find out the situation, and then turned the table over in advance!

At this moment, he was walking in the dark tunnel, looking at the sparse insect swarm in front of him, which was beginning to become dense, and his eyes lit up:

"I didn't expect it to be a rare spiritual insect in the world - Tiandi Ant!"
