After dinner, Xie Qingxuan began to teach Xiaoya the introductory exercises, and at the same time, he was also guiding Su Ziheng to practice the "Yin and Yang Recipe for Reverse Chaos". Although the cultivation of this Heavenly Peerless Fragment is very risky, after the derivation and improvement of Xie Qingxuan's ancestors from generation to generation, the introductory part of the exercises is still very safe, and there is no risk of accidents.

On the other side, after Zhang Wan cleaned the dishes and chopsticks, she and Su Ziheng proposed to go out. When Su Ziheng asked, he knew that she wanted to go to the pawnshop to redeem a piece of jade pendant that she had pawned before.

Su Ziheng nodded without hesitation and agreed, originally wanting to accompany Zhang Wanqing to go over. was stopped by Xie Qingxuan, saying that she would accompany Zhang Wanqing to go with her, which was much safer than Su Ziheng. Moreover, Su Ziheng's cultivation had just begun, and he needed to concentrate and calm down.

Su Ziheng didn't care about this, because there were a lot of displaced people in the city recently, and he didn't worry about Zhang Wanqing going out alone, so he proposed to go over together. Now that Xie Qingxuan is with him, Su Ziheng is naturally much more relieved.

However, he still had some doubts in his heart, this Xie Qingxuan seemed to be very nervous about Zhang Wanqing, it seemed that there must be something he didn't know. But soon, he put this idea behind him, as long as Xie Qingxuan would not be unfavorable to Zhang Wanqing, as for what was in the middle, he didn't want to know.

……

……

Xie Qingxuan accompanied Zhang Wanqing into the Rongsheng pawnshop where the jewelry was pawned, and asked the shopkeeper to redeem the jewelry that he had pawned before. To say that this pawn shop is really a profitable business, it is almost like a loan shark.

It turned out that he pawned ten taels of silver for jewelry, but when he redeemed it, he spent fourteen taels of silver, reaching forty percent of the profit. If it weren't for the fact that one of the jade pendants was left by her biological parents, Zhang Wanqing would really be reluctant to redeem it.

Xie Qingxuan watched Zhang Wanqing carefully put the piece of Liuyun Baifu jade pendant into her arms, and she said meaningfully: "The jade pendant should be put away, and don't show it easily in the future." ”

Zhang Wanqing's eyes froze, and she raised her head and stared at Xie Qingxuan, "Dare to ask Miss Xie, have you ever seen this jade pendant before?" ”

Although Zhang Wanqing does not have Su Ziheng's keen intuition, she is not stupid or stupid. She had long been suspicious of Xie Qingxuan's acceptance of Xiaoya as a disciple, but now it seems that she really has a plan, and it is even certain that she is coming for herself.

Xie Qingxuan ignored her gaze, took out a piece of the same Liuyun Baifu jade pendant from his arms, and said indifferently: "This is the jade pendant given to me by my master, she said that I used to have a senior sister." I accidentally passed by this pawnshop that day, and when I saw that you were pawning this jade pendant, I became curious about you. ”

"I have investigated your background and know that Zhang Liuzhi is not your biological father. There is some speculation about where you were born. It's just that a lot of things can't be finalized yet. I've already reported it to Master, and in a month or two at most, she will come over in person, and then your identity should be revealed. ”

Zhang Wanqing's mouth opened wide, she wanted to know what all this was about, but she didn't know how to speak, she didn't know if what Xie Qingxuan said was true or false, so she could only be silent.

……

……

At the same time, in a valley in Jiufu Mountain, which was originally green and green, with lush vegetation, is now a mess and there is no grass.

In the center of the valley, there is a worm more than one meter high and two meters long, with a pair of wings and six pairs of legs under its feet, and the color is yellow-green.

If Pandora had been here, it would have recognized this strange bug as the one that had escaped from the base that day. It's just that it's more than three times larger than it was at the beginning.

I don't know how much this bug has eaten during this period of time to grow so large and terrifying.

"Squeak Squeak"

The strange-looking insect made a strange noise, and the locusts around it dodged one after another. I saw it spread its wings and fly, and although it could not stay in the air for as long as a bird, it also jumped effortlessly to the top of one of the highest trees at the top of the valley.

The leaves of the tree had been eaten away by the locusts, leaving only the bare trunk standing in the valley. The strange insect looked in the direction of Xining City from afar, and there was a humanized expression in its eyes.

There's longing, there's anger, there's fear and fear! Although it could not sense the exact location of the mother, it knew that it must be in the vast city.

Having lost the guidance of the mother, it knows that it is the lowest existence among the Zerg. Because it can't effectively control the direction of its own evolution, a Zerg that can't evolve into a high-level Zerg has no status in the group.

But fortunately, on this planet, except for the imprisoned mother worm, this strange worm has not found any of its Zerg companions. This gives it plenty of time to grow and not become an evolutionary source for other kinds.

Since it can't get the path of evolution from the mother worm, it can only use the most primitive and inefficient method to obtain the evolutionary energy - Devour!

If you want to become a high-level Zerg, and then you can easily enslave a low-level Zerg, then you must first have genes that can suppress low-level Zerg. To use the simplest analogy, many insects have a king in them, and usually these kings can command the insects below to do anything.

This strange insect wants to become the king of insects first, and when it devours enough Zerg genes, it will naturally evolve. The easiest way to make up for the genes in the whole body is to find bugs that look very similar to you.

So this strange insect found a locust that was more similar to itself, and through this period of devouring and eating, its body size changed rapidly. But it soon realized that something was wrong, and as it continued to devour, the locust population became smaller and smaller, and it was simply not enough to support it to replenish the locust genes in its body.

Jiufu Mountain is very large, there are many plants, and the environment is very shady and humid, which is very unfavorable for the reproduction of locusts. Moreover, it is too close to the place where humans live, and it is also afraid of being discovered by humans, and in its current state, once it is discovered by humans, it is definitely a dead end.

It decided to move and move to the grasslands to the north. In the grasslands, the climate is dry, and the human habitation is also scattered, which is very conducive to the development of its own power.

When it flew up just now, it just wanted to take one last look in the direction of Xining City and take another look at the location of the female worm. In fact, the most convenient and fastest way to evolve is to devour the mother worm, but unfortunately it is too timid to approach that human, let alone take away the cultivation base from him.

"Squeak Squeak"

It let out a high-pitched cry, which drew the "squeak" of locusts below. It looked condescendingly at the group of insects that couldn't even be called low-level zergs, and thought disdainfully: "What a bunch of scum, they can't even make a sound, they can only make a sound by shaking and rubbing their wings." No wonder it never evolves. ”

As soon as it spread its wings, it flew in the direction of the northern grassland. Behind it is a swarm of locusts that obscure the sky.
