Chapter 1377: A Thousand Cicadas
It's just such a little insect that is about to breathe, if others see it, they will definitely not look at it, but after Qu Jingwen in the Plane Seed World saw it, he suddenly became ecstatic.
He even forgot to move for a while, just stared blankly at the little insect in front of him, with a look of disbelief on his face.
If you listen carefully, you will find that his mouth keeps muttering: "Puppet silk, thousand cicadas!!"
"I didn't expect it to be a thousand cicadas, I didn't think it would really be a thousand cicadas........"
At this moment, Qujing culture is an old woman, repeating the same sentence in her mouth, with a shocked look on her face.
......
The Thousand Machine Cicada, also known as the puppet manipulator, is a legendary spirit insect that has been extinct in the cultivation world for thousands of years.
Unlike other well-known and powerful brute beasts, the Thousand Machines Cicada does not have any power of its own, and in terms of its physical strength, it is possible for even the most ordinary bird to peck at it.
However, this is not its real strength, when its natural supernatural powers are exerted to the extreme, even if it is a brute beast in the foundation building period, after seeing it, it has to take a detour, and dare not provoke it easily.
The silk spit out by the cicada is called the puppet silk, which is full of golden light, invulnerable to water and fire, difficult to hurt by swords, excellent elasticity, and better at sticking.
Whenever it reaches adulthood, the cicada will use its natural ability to lurk directly in the shadows, and then, with its puppet silk, sneak attack all the brute beasts that pass by it.
The first thing to attack was some low-level brute beasts, and after their own safety was guaranteed, they attacked the stronger brute beasts.
In this way, it continues to rise, and eventually it can even capture the brute beasts in the foundation building period.
As for how it starts?
Very simply, once a brute beast enters its side, it will spit out puppet silk, stain the body of the brute beast, and then bind it with a cocoon, and then a trace of the natal puppet silk escapes into its hole, sucks its essence blood and soul, and turns its muscles, leaving only the skin, fascia, and bones unharmed, and then uses the puppet silk to lead it like a puppet, and resist the enemy to hunt, invincible.
According to common sense, the brute beast that was devoured by the thousand machine cicadas should have died directly, but, the strange thing is that the puppet made by the thousand machine cicadas can retain a body of cultivation without losing, and the flexibility of the battle is exactly the same as its most prosperous thing, and it has not increased or decreased since then, until the thousand machine cicada dies, or the puppet body is destroyed, or the thousand machine cicada takes the initiative to give up, this puppet beast can be liberated and return to nature.
When a cicada lives longer, the more shells it controls, and the stronger it becomes.
If it weren't for the fact that they had a limit to controlling the number of brute beast corpses, and their true bodies were too weak, otherwise this magical power alone would be enough for them to dominate the world.
It's hard to say, the current Shenzhou Continent is dominated by them.
It is also because of this characteristic of the Thousand Machine Cicada that the senior warriors have also carefully studied these Thousand Machine Cicada.
When studying these cicadas and the puppets around them, these senior warriors suspected that the souls of brute beasts and warriors who died in their silk cocoons could not be freed, but were bound by their shells and then driven by them.
It's a pity that these warriors can only guess like this, and if they really want to understand the true thoughts inside, they can't do it for the time being.
If you want to study the soul, your strength must at least be in the foundation building period, and at this time, you are busy working hard for the advanced Jindan period, where is this time to study these useless things.
Therefore, up to now, it is still a mystery why the Thousand Machine Cicadas were able to manipulate so many puppets and still maintain their combat effectiveness.
Ten thousand years ago, when the Thousand Machine Cicadas first came out, it did cause a great disaster, and many warriors were scared to death at that time.
However, after the warriors discovered the fatal flaw of the weakness of the thousand machine cicadas, the warriors finally had confidence.
In response to this Achilles heel of the Thousand Machine Cicada, the warriors made every effort to encircle and suppress the Thousand Machine Cicada, and finally almost wiped out the Thousand Machine Cicada directly.
Now, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the traces of the Thousand Machine Cicadas are faintly visible in the martial arts world, but they are no longer as prosperous as they almost caused the entire martial arts world to collapse ten thousand years ago.
For tens of thousands of years, the traces of thousands of cicadas can be described as silent, and Qu Jingwen thought that they had long been extinct.
I never thought that Lin Ze would be able to find a living thousand cicadas in such a small cave, no wonder Qu Jingwen was stunned.
"Qu Jingwen, what is a thousand machine cicadas?" At this time, Lin Ze also noticed Qu Jingwen's strange appearance, so he asked directly.
"Master, the Thousand Machine Cicada is ........" In the next ten minutes, Qu Jingwen explained to Lin Ze in detail what the Thousand Machine Cicada was, as well as the Thousand Machine Cicada turmoil that endangered the entire Shenzhou Continent ten thousand years ago.
It wasn't until after listening to Qu Jingwen's introduction that Lin Ze knew that the origin of this very inconspicuous little guy in front of him would be so big.
As for why it was sealed in this back then, Lin Ze could also expect it at this time.
Come to think of it, this one, or some of the Thousand Machine Cicadas, was placed here by the Master Xuanyin.
This used to be the place where it or their eggs were laid and reproduced, but somewhere, there was a big change in the Xuanyin Tomb.
From time to time, those powerhouses of the top sects came back here to attack the defensive formations outside, wanting to completely break the formations set up by the Master Xuanyin, and then get all the treasures inside, but five hundred years have passed, and this place is still like this. Of course, these attacks will still cause some changes in the Xuanyin Tomb.
In contrast, the small valley where the Thousand Machine Cicada was located at that time, it was because of these attacks that the terrain here changed a little, and then slowly formed a natural formation ban, and the Thousand Machine Cicada was very unlucky to be sealed in this small cave by this natural formation ban.
As for whether there will be other thousand cicadas or something outside, Lin Ze can't draw conclusions.
The Xuanyin Tomb is so big, maybe there will be some thousand cicadas living in some places.
These, or this thousand cicadas are very unlucky to be sealed in here, and they can't get out, which makes these or this thousand cicadas dumbfounded.
It is surrounded by solid walls, and there are natural formations outside to prevent it from going out, and the most terrible thing is that the body of the thousand cicadas is extremely weak, and there is not even a single ant around to control it, so it can only be so generational, or lonely, in this cave the size of a small room, settle down, or multiply.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a small pitiful spiritual spring in this cave for food and drink, and the Thousand Machine Cicada itself was hermaphroditic, I am afraid that this might be the last Thousand Machine Cicada on the entire Shenzhou Continent, and it would not have reached Lin Ze's hands.
Now this thousand-machine cicada, there is no puppet to drive, only the spiritual spring can be eaten, which makes its body so weak that it can't even spit out the puppet silk, for Lin Ze, it is simply a matter of hand-to-hand capture.
While secretly sighing at his luck, Lin Ze attacked with a single blow of spiritual power, and after the Thousand Machine Cicada lost its ability to act, it was directly collected into the Dimensional Seed World.
Lin Ze carefully placed it in the Dimensional Seed World, and did not forget to put four or five Qi-replenishing Qi Pills into its side, plus some meat, which could be regarded as restoring some energy to the Thousand Machine Cicada.
As for worrying about whether Qianji Cicada would be disobedient, Lin Ze said that he didn't care at all.
Then there is the powerful Thousand Machine Cicada, when the time comes, a puppet will be imprinted, and it will become a very obedient pet by Lin Ze's side.
"My luck is really good, I was worried about how to explain how I can command so many brute beasts, but now I have directly sent a thousand machine cicadas, so that others will not doubt why I can manipulate so many brute beasts. Lin Ze looked at the Plane Seed World with a smile on his face, as well as the Thousand Machine Cicadas that had regained some vitality.
As the number of brute beasts around him increased, and the strength of brute beasts became stronger and stronger, Lin Ze had long been worried about how to explain this problem.
Lin Ze's current strength is strong, but there are more powerful families and sects than him.
Now they didn't have any doubts about Lin Ze because Lin Ze's current strength couldn't attract their attention, but as Lin Ze's strength continued to increase, he would sooner or later enter the eyes of these top-level worlds and sects.
When the time comes, these top families and sects will definitely investigate everything about Lin Ze, including how he can control so many brute beasts?
For the investigation of these top families and sects, Lin Ze never dared to underestimate them.
It's like there is a // close // department // door / now, many people always don't care in their hearts, thinking that it is like that, but this is just not showing their strength, if you really want to move the real character, it is a matter of minutes to take you down.
For example, ordinary people who lose something may not be able to find it in their lifetime, but as long as some big people lose something, they can get it back in a short time.
I believe that such examples are happening all around us.
These top families and sects are the same, if they get serious, they will soon be able to find out some flaws in Lin Ze.
If you really can't find it, the consequences will be even more serious.
Because of the strength of this top family or sect, he couldn't investigate why Lin Ze was able to manipulate so many brute beasts, which meant that the secret on Lin Ze's body was earth-shattering.
At that time, what do you think these families and sects will do?!
I believe the answer is already in your heart!
So, sometimes desperately hiding your secrets is not the best solution, the best solution is to find some suitable explanations to explain these secrets in you.
