(Maopu Chinese) Although the number of companions has increased, the atmosphere is more silent than just now.

Although Immortal Master Yu is not very old, Jin Kunyu is respectful to him, not to mention the others. Obviously, his prestige among his own protégés and subordinates was much higher than the first time he had seen him.

Those insects were devoured by the fire all the way, and Immortal Master Yu also showed a somewhat surprised expression.

"This is the Red Dragon Spirit Pet?"

Qiuqiu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Immortal Master Yu looked at Huo'er intently, and Huo'er seemed to be unhappy with his gaze, and bared his teeth at him, which was a demonstrative, hostile gesture.

Qiuqiu thought to herself, the little guy is quite sensitive, and he can tell the difference between friend and foe.

However, out of politeness, she said apologetically to the immortal master: "It is not very sensible, it is spoiled, and it is very willful." ”

"Don't worry." Yu Immortal Master showed an indifferent smile: "Dragon, it is common to be arrogant. ”

Immortal Master Yu looked good-tempered, but Qiuqiu definitely wouldn't believe that this was his nature.

If he was really as immature and harmless as he looked on the outside, in the world of cultivators whose strength was respected, it would be impossible for him to be able to subdue the subordinates below, let alone make them so obedient and respectful.

He must have some amazing skill in the means, otherwise the situation would not be the way it is.

Immortal Master Yu kept a polite and safe distance from Qiuqiu, and the topic did not involve any sensitive key points.

There is a gentle and indifferent power in this person, which can make people relax their minds unconsciously.

But this does not include Huo'er, the little guy has always been hostile to the immortal master.

Qiuqiu remembered that when Huo'er first came out of the shell, he was also hostile to Shi'er-

This is probably because of the nature of the dragon, whether it is Shi'er or this immortal master, they are all considered to be the masters of the same faction. Possess amazing strength. Fire, of course, has an instinctive hostility to anything that can threaten its existence.

Of course, it is also possible that the same sex is exclusive.

For example, it was very close to Qiuqiu from the beginning.

Qiuqiu's mind is gentle and friendly to it.

"Does the immortal master know the origin and details of these insects?" Qiuqiu asked, "It looks like these bugs are very unusual. ”

"There was nothing strange about these bugs, they were flying insects everywhere. This valley used to be lush with vegetation and birds. But at some point, these insects gradually changed, they became extremely fierce, and they could swallow anything. Flowers and trees were eaten and eaten, the water flow was cut off, and gradually birds and beasts became extinct. But few people noticed the changes at the time.

"Then Immortal Master Yu is here to find out?"

"Yes, we have a disciple who disappeared while collecting medicine around here. These bugs are no longer content to be trapped in the valley. Gradually, it spreads outward. ”

"How long has this changed?"

"In the last year or two, I've heard about people going missing around here."

It happened to be about the same time as the monster reappeared.

Does this have anything to do with monsters?

This is the Nine Peaks far away from the Central Plains.

Is the monster already here?

Qiuqiu suddenly thought of Heliu, thought of the soul-losing attraction brought by Heliu, and the person who killed Heliu in the end.

The trail of the monster has already appeared.

There must be something else special about these insects, otherwise Lin Su would not have come here together.

A hole in the mountain wall appeared in front of them.

The insects were densely tangled. It's just shocking to look at.

Qiuqiu paused.

She could feel that Shi'er was already very close to her.

She looked around. The bugs here are much bigger than the ones on the periphery. The color was also darker, as red as congealed blood.

They are also more aggressive, and under the tremendous pressure of the fire, they keep rushing towards them, and they all have an indomitable ferocity, as if they all want to die with them.

A gust of wind blew across his cheeks.

Qiuqiu raised her head and glanced up.

It should have reached dawn. But he could not see the light of the sky, and the top of his head was obscured by insects at some point, just as the sky turned dark red.

Immortal Master Yu looked at the center of the pile of bugs.

The insects crawled all over a stone pillar about seven or eight feet high, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It looks like a pillar made entirely of bugs. And at the top of the pillar, there is a huge ball, about the size of a room.

"That's supposed to be Mother Worm's nest."

Qiuqiu nodded.

She was a little uncomfortable with this scene, so many bugs, even if there was no such thing as a dense phobia, it made people's chests feel stuffy and almost nauseous.

Where are the guards?

Qiuqiu touched Huo'er's head and whispered a few words in its little ear.

Huo'er rubbed her hand, arched herself, and lunged towards the left of the pillar.

Qiuqiu raised his palm, and the sword qi of the water sword chased Huo'er together. One is to protect the fire, and the other is to test the hive.

As the fire flew closer, the hive suddenly shrank inward, then swelled again, popping out a few bugs.

These insects are much larger than the other insects in the hive, and they are no longer like insects, but like geese. They are darker in color, already reddish and black.

Several bugs pounced on the fire from different directions.

The sword qi of the Lishui Sword made a bend in the air, easily crushing those insects one by one.

The fire had already pounced on its target.

It was a rock hanging in the air.

The fire hovered in the air for a moment, opened its mouth and took a deep breath.

The insects attached to the rocks were sucked into their mouths one after another, and they didn't even have the strength to struggle.

Huo'er took such a big sip, closed her mouth in satisfaction, raised her head and neck and swallowed them all, and even hiccuped a little and stretched.

Qiuqiu saw the rock clearly.

Actually, it's not a rock at all.

It was a man who had wrapped himself from head to foot in a cloak.

From the style and color of the cloak, Qiuqiu recognized that this was Lin Su.

Really. The cloak was lifted from the inside at once, and Lin Su was originally hanging upside down in the air. He flipped in the air and landed lightly on the ground.

"Brother Lin." Qiuqiu called him.

"Senior Sister Qiu." Lin Su nodded at her: "Why are you here?" He turned his head again and glanced keenly at Immortal Master Yu's people: "Immortal Master Yu is here too?" ”

"Lin Zhangfeng."

Qiuqiu asked anxiously, "Why are you here?" I was going to send you a message, but the silver star of the message was pointing in that direction. ”

Lin Su explained apologetically: "I also received a message temporarily, saying that Senior Brother Ji was lost here, so I came over." These bugs are getting harder and harder to deal with. ”

"Is Brother Guan here too?"

"Yes." Lin Su said: "He arrived before me, and he should have found Senior Brother Ji." His voice lowered, "These insects are not to be feared, but there is a very powerful mother worm in that nest." I've been near twice once, and once the nest made a sour sound. The second time I felt a huge suction that almost sucked me into the hive. And these bugs are endless, and there are so many that they can be overwhelming. ”

As he spoke, several huge flying insects spit out from the hive again, and this time he didn't need Qiuqiu to make a move. Jin Kunyu gestured, and several people behind him drew their swords one after another. The sharp sword qi collided head-on with the insect in the air. The insects were all cut and crushed, and they fell to the ground one after another.

As soon as the dead bugs hit the ground, the little bugs in the ground quickly climbed up, and after a souring click, the bugs were eaten clean by their kind.

It's really too evil.

Listening to Lin Su's meaning, the little insects are not to be afraid. But the mother in the nest is more tricky.

But even so, it won't be that Lin Su and Guan Wei can't do anything together, right? Especially Guan Wei, his sword aura is awe-inspiring and domineering, and Qiuqiu has never seen him encounter a real one. can outwit his enemies.

There must be other reasons, but Lin Su didn't say it.

It may be that the immortal master is on the side, and he is unwilling to reveal the real reason.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't come, we just want to see the details of these insects closely, so we have delayed some time. It was expected to be possible to go back before dawn. Lin Su comforted her: "I also let you run away, are you worried?" ”

Of course I was worried.

Especially that nightmare, Qiuqiu always had an ominous premonition in her heart.

The paper man was also gone, and Qiuqiu wanted to ask Lin Su if she had seen the paper man, but in front of Immortal Master Yu, she couldn't ask.

As they spoke, the fire had already cleaned up all the insects around them, and the ground here was full of potholes, and the feet were full of white bones, which looked like human bones, and the remains of birds and beasts, and I don't know how many lives these insects have killed.

They eat literally everything, and the number is terrifying.

Plants, trees, birds and beasts have all become their meals.

But when they encounter fire, they become the weaker and eaten side of the food chain.

Lin Su looked at Huo'er's movements, and said with half admiration: "Huo'er is really capable." It's really troublesome that there are a lot of these bugs, but I didn't expect it to have such a ability - is it okay to eat these things? ”

"Nope."

Not only is it fine, but it looks like it's still a big supplement.

I don't forget where I've seen it, but some people say that bugs are high in protein and a pretty healthy food – and of course they don't look healthy.

Huo'er seemed intrigued by the huge hive and wanted to pounce on it.

Qiuqiu was about to summon it back, but Huo'er had already encountered an obstacle at this time.
