The number of black evil dung insects on the periphery of the hive is very large, coupled with the sixth-level evil dung insect leaders that pop up from time to time, and the mother insect team that appears on each node is advancing very slowly.

Although it is said that it is good to join forces, it can be seen from the echelon of the team that these students are divided into several camps.

Among them, the largest camp is naturally the camp headed by Wang Quan, who is the first in the combat power list, and there are only six people in this camp, which is not the largest number of camps present. But it is the most powerful, in this camp, there is not only Wang Quan, the number one master of Yenching University, but also Leng Ran, the third in the combat power list. Coupled with a rising star like Ye Xue, her strength is extremely strong.

In addition to Wang Quan's camp, it is Hu Qing, Wen Jie, and Arc Yue's camp. Although these camps are not as conspicuous as Wang Quan's camp, they have divided the students from other competitions to the present.

Of course, in addition to these vaguely visible camps, there are also a few people who are outside these camps, Qin Liang is one of them, and Feng Wuji is also among them.

Now almost all the students who have not been eliminated have gathered here, but Qin Liang did not see Zhou Tong, which made him a little worried in his heart. But looking at the bracelet on his wrist, Qin Liang was relieved a lot, the worst result was undoubtedly to be eliminated, and there should be no danger to his life.

Qin Liang walked at the edge of the line to kill the evil dung worm, and the other students were all at a distance from him, intentionally or unintentionally. Even the wind did not speak to him again. Thinking of the previous incident, the corners of Qin Liang's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, as if he was sarcastic, and he seemed to feel a little funny.

Although the others didn't know that Leng Ran had fused with the skeleton pendant, they guessed that Leng Ran's recovery so quickly must have something to do with the skeleton pendant. So when Wang Quan stood up and spoke. Although he didn't say it directly, he meant that he focused on the overall situation.

And this overall situation is important, naturally things can exert more power on Leng Ran's body, so Leng Ran carries things first, even if that thing is Qin Liang's.

With Qin Liang's character, if he had changed to before, he would have twitched with a big mouth, and he used to be the Emperor of the Undead. For Wang Quan, there is obviously no fear of these masters. Even looking at them is about the same as looking at a little kid.

However, Qin Liang, who was just about to speak, suddenly thought of something again, looked at Wang Quan, and then looked at Leng Ran, and then a sincere smile appeared on his face again, and he didn't speak.

However, although he agreed to Wang Quan's proposal and did not ask for anything again, it seemed that he had sold Wang Quan a favor. But Qin Liang had offended Leng Ran to death before, so the other students all avoided Qin Liang a little, so as not to be angry with themselves by Leng Ran's misunderstanding of what it had to do with Qin Liang.

"There should be a way to heal your injuries when you get back, right?" Freeze a black evil dung worm into an ice sculpture. Ye Xue hesitated for a moment and asked.

Obviously, this sentence did not say anything and returned it to Qin Liang, but the meaning was already very obvious. Although he knew the importance of the skull pendant to Leng Ran, after all, things were borrowed and had to be returned. Going out and Leng Ran's injuries can be treated, no longer relying on the skeleton pendant, and returning the things is undoubtedly the best outcome.

"The school doctor is not bad. It should be curable. He nodded coldly, his face still as cold as ice.

However, hearing the cold answer, Ye Xue breathed a sigh of relief, obviously borrowing things and not paying them back, no matter what the reason, Ye Xue couldn't pass the level in her heart. At this time, she didn't even dare to look at Qin Liang, and she couldn't look at her weak heart.

With Leng Ran's answer, Ye Xue felt a lot more at ease, but the moment she turned around to continue cleaning up the evil dung insects, Leng Ran's originally calm gaze became cold. Glancing at Qin Liang who was on the edge of the team from the corner of his eye, the cold glint in Leng Ran's eyes was even better.

Qin Liang, who was killing the evil dung worm, seemed to feel something, and glanced at Leng Ran, and the smile on his face became even more innocent.

The nest is large, each hole is more than ten meters wide, and every time you advance a distance, you will encounter a node with a female handle. Each node is like a football field. Such a huge space made Qin Liang couldn't help but show a puzzled look on his face.

Qin Liang was only thinking about what treasure he was thinking about before, but he didn't pay attention to it, and only then did he feel the strangeness of this insect hive.

Follow the speed of the team's advance, as well as the space of the cave. and the huge space of the node. They should have advanced about 30 kilometers. Although it is diagonally downward, the distance in a straight line is at least about 5 kilometers.

5 kilometers is equivalent to 10 miles, and 10 miles away on the ground are areas for other insect nests. Qin Liang had been there before.

However, the hive in front of him was obviously not a hive ten miles away, nor was it connected to a hive ten miles away. This huge hive seemed to be in another space, it didn't match other hives, and even Qin Liang felt that this hive was bigger than the entire island. Therefore, Qin Liang was very puzzled, what was the origin of this hive that seemed to contain the power of space.

"If only the worms were awake." Glancing at the Soul Worm in his spiritual sea, Qin Liang couldn't help but shake his head.

Didn't ask for it from Qin Liang, the Dark Soul Stone Worm Soul Worm was very angry. In order to make up for its own losses, it directly released all the power of the dark soul stone it devoured, and then absorbed it with the help of Qin Liang's undead flame. It seemed that wasting a little more of Qin Liang's undead flame felt that it would be more balanced in its heart if it suffered a loss.

"What is this? Demon core? An exclamation sounded. Qin Liang couldn't help but follow the voice.

At this time, everyone is in the side hall of a female worm, and the nest of the whole female worm is like a palace. This is the most different thing about this hive from other hives. The place where the other hive mothers stay is a larger cave. And here the nests of the female worms are palaces.

And these palaces are not built in a way that looks like bugs live in them, but the mother worms are in the palaces.

The trainees pushed forward all the way, although the previous promise was to work together as a team. But because there are several small factions, the whole team looks loose. For example, Qin Liang wandered at the edge of the line, at the back of the position.

It took half a day to encounter an evil dung insect that had been missed by the person in front of him, and most of the time Qin Liang seemed to be in a daze alone.

But most of the people work hard to kill monsters, because the way the teams are distributed is simple, whoever kills the evil dung worm gets what is whoever. At this time, after killing an evil dung worm, a student wanted to collect some materials and take them with him.

But it's dissecting the brains of evil dung worms. Instead of seeing the brains of the evil dung worm, he saw a black crystal the size of a soybean. The black crystal was suspended in the empty brain of the evil dung worm, emitting a glowing light, and the incomparably pure dark power spread to all directions, making the eyes of several nearby students instantly become hot.

"Dark Soul Stone!" Seeing the black crystal the size of a soybean, Qin Liang's eyes flashed with a glint, and then he frowned: "How could the Dark Soul Stone be in the head of the evil dung worm?" And this dark soul stone should be considered the lowest one. ”

Qin Liang had always thought that the Dark Soul Stone was buried deep in the earth like other minerals. However, at this time, the Dark Soul Stone appeared in the head of the evil dung worm. Qin Liang seemed to understand something.

But after thinking about it, Qin Liang became more and more puzzled, because in his impression, the evil dung insect should not appear without a zombie, and there was only a dark soul stone in his head, but such an alien species really appeared in front of him, which could not be quibbled. So the evil dung worm here has appeared so abnormally, there must be some secret he doesn't know.

"This thing seems to boost mental power." The student who dissected the evil dung worm reached out and took out the dark soul stone, originally he wanted to use his spiritual power to carefully explore what this thing was.

But what he didn't expect was that the spiritual power had just touched the Dark Soul Stone, and all the power in the Dark Soul Stone surged towards his spiritual sea. At the same time that the dark souls are turned into powder. This student found that his mental power had increased a lot, which made him have a shocked look on his face.

"Can you refresh your spirits?" Hearing this student's words, the other students also showed surprised expressions on their faces.

But seeing the students who spoke didn't seem to be joking, especially the few students who were close to the Dark Soul Stone just now, they also seemed to feel the throbbing of their spiritual power just now. This made the burning gaze in their eyes even stronger.

Cultivating spiritual power undoubtedly depends on talent. Although everyone is strengthening themselves in various ways. But strong mental power is obviously more advanced than a strong physical body, just like the difference between a person who produces brain power and a person who produces physical strength in the social division of labor.

Although there are many things that people who don't have physical strength can't do, people who have physical strength are obviously led by people who have mental strength. And the higher you go, the more you go, it's obviously not enough to rely on refining the body alone. For example, if you break through to the grandmaster level at the master level, you have certain mental power requirements.

And the grandmaster level crossed that hurdle and entered the spirit level, and spiritual power was the key to increasing the success rate of breakthroughs. However, physical strength can be obtained through continuous exercise, but mental power cannot be possessed by exercising alone. Therefore, people who want to continue to go up, and whose mental talent is not good, are all trying to improve their spiritual power again.

At this time, this small black stone actually had the effect of enhancing spiritual power. This made all the trainees fanatical. Even Hu Qing's eyes lit up, but Wang Quanhe Leng Ran's expressions were still indifferent. Although there is nothing unusual about the two of them having such expressions all the time, it is also possible that the two of them have long known the role of such a stone. That's why the reaction is so calm.

"Anyone who finds a spar like that can trade with me, 30,000 yuan each, or a bottle of high-grade potion that is useful to you, or other equivalent things. If the size of the spar is large, the price can be doubled, in short, it will definitely make you satisfied. Wen Jie glanced at the powder left by the spar after being absorbed and taken away, and his eyes flashed with essence, and he said.

This made the students who had fallen into the effect of the spar sober up, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces. Immediately, the look of surprise turned into thought, obviously weighing that if he got such a hedron, he should sell it. It's better to keep it for yourself.

It is indeed rare to find a spar that can improve mental power, but not everyone can use it. Although the lowest strength here is the strength of the master. But not everyone is in a hurry to improve their mental power to break through, and many people are still stuck in a bottleneck.

For such a student, it is undoubtedly the most cost-effective if he obtains such a spar and exchanges it for a potion that is beneficial to him. After all, a good thing that you can use is a good thing.

"If anyone gets it, they can trade with me at this price." As soon as Wen Jie's words fell, Hu Qing, who thought of something, opened his mouth and said.

Immediately, Wang Quan and several others also expressed their positions.

Qin Liang didn't speak, but observed the evil dung worms that had been killed by the student who had obtained the Dark Soul Stone, and then looked at the corpses of those evil dung worms on the way he came. Looking at the environment of the cave around him, there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The evil dung worms in the hive are undoubtedly hierarchical, and the deeper they go underground and closer to the melancholy core area, the more powerful the evil dung worms become. Although these evil dung insects look like the people who just opened up to the outside world in China and looked at foreigners, in addition to distinguishing between tall and short, fat and thin, they always feel that foreigners look the same.

But a careful distinction can still be seen. There are some nuances to these evil dung worms. For example, this evil dung worm with a dark soul stone in its head has a darker shell than other evil dung worms, and its luster is different.

It's like a man disguised as a woman mixed in a group of women, and you can't even notice it at first glance. But if you carefully distinguish the Adam's apple, you can still find out which one is a man.

After finding out the difference, Qin Liang couldn't help but touch the backpack on his back. There's also a fist-sized Dark Soul Stone in the backpack. But thinking about how he had absorbed the Dark Soul Stone, Qin Liang had a puzzled look on his face.

"Only in this way will the direct absorption of the Dark Soul Stone that has just been taken out of the Evil Dung Worm's skull increase the spiritual power, or is it the same for all Dark Soul Stones. But why hasn't my mental power increased, is this also divided? Qin Liang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

But it was only a moment for Qin Liang to wake up suddenly, and he couldn't help but look at the soul worm sleeping in the undead flame in his spiritual sea.

Worm soul worms feed on remnant souls and never eat anything else. Unless it's those materials that are extremely pure and can increase soul power. As soon as the Worm Soul Worm stole the Dark Soul Stone, it couldn't wait to eat nearly a third, if it weren't for the fear of dying, it was very likely that the entire Dark Soul Stone would be eaten. This undoubtedly proves that the Dark Soul Stone can indeed increase spiritual power.

"But why hasn't your mental strength improved?" Qin Liang had a puzzled look on his face.

But then Qin Liang thought of something and looked at the seed in his dantian that spit out half a sprout.

As soon as he held the Dark Soul Stone, Qin Liang clearly felt that there was a huge surge of pure dark energy pouring into his body, instantly stabilizing his strength after breaking through the master level.

But there was also a stream of energy absorbed by this seed, and Qin Liang didn't feel the improvement of the Dark Soul Stone's spiritual power, so there was only one explanation. The part of the energy that the Dark Soul Stone could increase its spiritual power was absorbed by this seed.

And Qin Liang's body only absorbed pure dark power, and there was no essence to enhance spiritual power. This is like a seed eating the flesh of a banana and throwing the banana peel to Qin Liang's body. The more Qin Liang thought about it, the more he felt that this was the reason, if it weren't for so many people. He couldn't wait to test it out with the Dark Soul Stone now.

Resisting the impulse in his heart, Qin Liang calmed down his mood, but after calming down, Qin Liang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Even if the Dark Soul Stone can really improve spiritual power." But this doesn't seem to be of much use to me for the time being, right? ”

What is Qin Liang's biggest headache?

Of course, his mental power improved too quickly, and the growth of his physical body couldn't keep up, and every day he felt as if he was going to go out of his body.

And after taking the essence, he broke through to the master level, and used the four runes of the Prayer of the Dead to condense his body. Now Qin Liang's physical and spiritual power are barely matched. However, it is still on the cordon.

Because Qin Liang's current physical strength is at the early stage of the master level, but his spiritual power is already at the top of the master level, and half of his feet are buried in the ranks of the grandmaster level. It is even possible to break through at any time. If the Dark Soul Stone could really increase spiritual power, Qin Liang couldn't use it.

Because once the spiritual power breaks through to the grandmaster level, the difference between the physical body and the spiritual power is such a big level. Qin Liang has to be top-heavy again every day.

"It's also a nuisance that NND's mental power is growing too fast." Qin Liang couldn't help but scratch his head and muttered something in his heart, so that everyone could hear the words that would have an urge to strangle him.

However, troubles to troubles, Qin Liang did not let go of such an opportunity to collect dark soul stones. Even if he can't use these dark soul stones now, it doesn't mean that he won't need them in the future.

Even if you can't use it in the future, you will definitely use it with your own eyes and Zhou Tong, and since you have encountered it, you can't let it go. So Qin Liang cleared his throat: "If you want a potion, you can tailor it, and if you want a charm, you can trade it directly." ”

The students who were originally weighing whether the transaction was cost-effective were stunned for a moment, and their eyes instantly turned to Qin Liang. Then he looked at Hu Qing and the others.

Obviously, Wen Jie proposed this transaction price, and the reason why Hu Qing and others agreed was very simple. That is to set this price to death, and obtain the maximum benefit with the minimum cost. Because at present, these students do not have a very good understanding of the role of the Dark Soul Stone.

Therefore, those of them who knew something chose the same caliber, but what they didn't expect was that Qin Liang would jump out to stir up the situation. Therefore, the scene suddenly calmed down, and all the students looked at Qin Liang, and then at Hu Qing and the others who were ready to wait to watch the play.

Wen Jie frowned, Hu Qing and the others also showed gloomy expressions on their faces, and even Wang Quan's gaze at Qin Liang was a little stranger.

If Qin Liang dared to disturb the situation like this on another occasion, Wen Jie would definitely teach Qin Liang a lesson, or directly use the money to smash Qin Liang to death. Wen Jie, who has an extraordinary family background behind him, has enough capital to make Qin Liang cry very rhythmically.

But it's not something else, so it's a bit difficult for Winjie to step down. Because the price was set by him first, if he also opened his mouth to raise prices at this time, he would suppress Qin Liang. Although Wen Jie didn't care about this money, he couldn't afford to lose this person.

Because if the price triples, or even quadruples, it's still worth it. But none of the students present were fools, if the price suddenly soared three or four times, there were still people rushing to ask for the Dark Soul Stone. This is undoubtedly slapping Wen Jie in the face, telling everyone that Wen Jie is a villain, and he actually makes such black-hearted money while other students are ignorant.

But if you don't fight back, it won't, which will give people a sense of guilt. Therefore, in an instant, Wen Jie was forced into a corner by Qin Liang. This made Wen Jie's gaze flickering with cold light when he looked at Qin Liang.

Qin Liang, on the other hand, dug his nostrils and opened his mouth to reveal his white teeth. Although he didn't speak, his smile was still honest, but it was more lethal than any language. made Wen Jie's complexion instantly turn purple. (To be continued)
