Chapter 691: Ancient Insects

As the existence above the Dan period, the butterfly fairy and the nine-colored phoenix tail butterfly are more obviously sensitive to the breath on Xiao Wei's body. Xiao Wei's body is definitely not a monk of the Witch Gu Dao, but he has a strong ability to inspire insects and the like, which makes the Butterfly Fairy and the Nine-Colored Phoenix Tail Butterfly feel extremely jealous.

But for a moment, I couldn't tell what this breath was. What heritage it comes from.

After all, Xiao Wei was originally a rare insect between heaven and earth, and a cultivated Yuan Infant Existence. And the insects in the infancy stage are the life level of the hundreds of millions of insects, which they dare not imagine.

Moreover, Xiao Wei later went through the trilemma of reincarnation, although her spirituality is still there. However, the memories of his previous life never took the initiative to wake up. If it weren't for the Taoist companion Chun Yu in the previous life, Yun Hanxu, who was reincarnated, took the initiative to take the lead. Until now, this Xiao Wei is afraid that she is still chaotic in the world, struggling with ups and downs.

Perhaps, with his intelligence and heart, he can get a wealth and wealth, but he also loses his own wisdom. When this life passes, in the next life, it can be regarded as a non-existent person.

Therefore, the breath on Xiao Wei's body, as well as the breath of struggle and ignorance tempered by the mind and divine consciousness in the three tribulations of reincarnation, from the past life to the present, thousands of years of vicissitudes and changes, and the earthly atmosphere contaminated in this red dust. All kinds of scents are mixed into one.

It's impossible to tell the difference.

The butterfly fairy was startled and said, "Who are you? What kind of breath is this breath?"

Xiao Wei smiled but did not answer. While appeasing his natal Gu, the nine-colored phoenix-tailed butterfly, the butterfly fairy began to urge the Southern Xinjiang Witch Gu to repel insects and refine the Gu technique that has been handed down since ancient times. The magic trick in his hand continued to be unleashed, and his spiritual power was drumming, forming a special aura vibration around his body and in this primeval jungle.

In this reckless southern Xinjiang wilderness, within thousands of square kilometers, all the living beings were alarmed.

Since this butterfly fairy and the natal Gu Nine Colored Phoenix Tail Butterfly both broke through to the Dan stage, they have been invincible in this witch Gu in the southern Xinjiang. This witch Gu in southern Xinjiang is in great decline. With the scarcity of heaven and earth aura and the destruction of natural ecology in the era of the end of heaven and earth, some species that were relatively common hundreds of thousands of years ago are now basically gone.

There are some species that have gone extinct without a trace before they have even appeared in front of modern biologists. This made the cultivators of the Witch Gu Sect not have the greatest cultivation resources at hand—those rare and strange insects that had been inherited from ancient times.

According to scientific research, about 300 million years ago, the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere accounted for 35%. At present, the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere is only 21 percent. At that time, there were a large number of giant insects living on Earth.

Among them, the wingspan of the giant veined dragonfly, which is about seventy-five centimeters, is similar to that of the eagles on Earth today. The ancient giant centipede has a length of about more than ten meters, and its width is two and a half meters from the left foot to the right foot in the same row!

Similarly, the size of various insects such as flies, mosquitoes, ants, and cockroaches is also so large.

These giant insects once roamed the earth, and for a time, they stood at the top of the food chain and dominated the planet.

Later, the environment changed, and the oxygen content on the earth gradually decreased. Rise of vertebrates. Some of them also feed on these insects. These huge insects, which originally dominated the earth and spread all over the earth, gradually withdrew from the stage of history. However, with the huge base of insects, and the ability to survive extremely strong.

There are still some descendants of ancient giant insects, after going through the vicissitudes of life, because of some kind of coincidence, passed down. Such a lineage, even in antiquity, was still widespread.

Therefore, there is an ancient legend of smoked mosquito essence in the folk -

According to that legend, in the middle of a mountain field, there was a huge mosquito spirit, the size of several adults. Every 10 days, the nearby villages had to give it a person to eat. If it doesn't listen, it will go to the village to eat countless people, so the nearby villages take turns to give people to the mosquito essence to eat.

On this day, it was the turn of an old man to be eaten by mosquitoes. But this old man lit the wet firewood, and when the wet wood burned, the pungent smoke emitted enveloped the mosquito essence. actually choked the mosquito essence to death. A few young people in the village put the mosquito essence on the firewood stack and burned it to ashes.

After that, the giant mosquito disappeared. Only small mosquitoes remain. However, these small mosquitoes are also very afraid of smoke.

Such a story has been passed down for a long time, and at first glance it is just a fairy tale in the countryside. Absurd and unreasonable. However, if it is taken as an official scientific document, two conclusions can be drawn.

One is the giant insects that lived in antiquity, such as mosquitoes. He once coexisted with the ancestors of mankind in this world for a period of time. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the huge mosquitoes that come from this very much fit biological archaeological findings.

The other is the ancestor of mankind, who once fought with these huge insects. And the secret of the human ancestors to defeat these huge insects in the end was smoke and fire. An epic of the struggle between ancient humans and nature is actually hidden in this seemingly absurd and very brainless rural fairy tale.

And in the fight against these ancient insects, some ancient witches even found ways to domesticate these insects for their own use. And this is the origin of the witch Gu one. And with the strength of human beings, the territory of survival has expanded. These giant insects, which survived from ancient times, are also gradually dying out. In later generations, the largest mosquito caught in southern China was only the size of a frog, and including the wingspan, it was only equivalent to a small bird.

It's shocking today. In ancient times, it could only be regarded as a dwarf among many giant insects.

Up to now, many cultivators of the Witch Gu Sect, although their talents are not bad, but because the Natal Gu is too ordinary and too weak, at most they can only cultivate to the late stage of foundation building.

That is, the luck of this butterfly fairy is better, once in the jungle of southern Xinjiang, found an ancient huge butterfly that did not hatch a chrysalis, and used it as a refining material to refine his natal phoenix tail butterfly Gu worm, which was the chance to enter the Dan period.

Therefore, now this butterfly fairy can be regarded as the first person in the Southern Xinjiang Witch Gu Sect. After the battle of the overseas Yuanying monks, the rest of the cultivators, after entering this southern Xinjiang, also paid tribute to this butterfly fairy, and in the past few decades, the butterfly fairy has really tried his best to fight. 8)
