With a living entity as a sample, Ye Ziyun's research on that insect is progressing relatively smoothly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The only pity is that he didn't get any clues from Yueying.

It's not that with the knowledge of the moon, I don't have an impression of such a special insect. It's because from Yueying, Ye Ziyun learned about tens of thousands of insect races with racial heritage. Even after removing the species that were already determined to be extinct during the Third Age, there are no less than 8,000 species left......

The main thing is that this is only the information that Yueying knows. According to Yueying, when the dragon clan was at the height of its academic atmosphere, it also established a database specifically for the purpose of studying the intelligence of various races. There are more than 1,000 archives that record information on insect races, and each of them has at least 1,000 bookshelves. And the information that Yueying herself knows is only the amount of a certain layer of a bookshelf in one of the archives......

Well, after hearing what Yueying said, Yeziyun no longer had any expectations for learning about that insect race from Yueying. Even if Yueying didn't explain it clearly, where did Ye Ziyun still not understand? According to the huge base of insect creatures, presumably even the dragon clan, which was the world hegemon and was in its heyday, did not dare to say that they had collected information about all the insect races. What's more, what Yeziyun is encountering now is a race that has specialized its concealment ability to the extreme. The odds of this race being discovered and documented by the dragons are not too low......

But fortunately, after Ye Ziyun accepted the reality, he immediately began to study on his own. In addition, after learning from Yeziyun that this insect actually has an attack method that can threaten Yeziyun, Yueying also joined the research. If it weren't for Ye Ziyun's order that Yueying should not divulge these things at the moment, maybe the study of this insect race would have become an academic topic for the entire immortal race to participate in.

It's a cryptoptera-like insect, or rather. They look like some kind of cryptoptera. However, the difference between them and the cryptoptera that Yeziyun has seen is that in addition to a pair of elytra, they also have two pairs of membranous wings on their backs. In other words, this insect has three pairs of six wings in its body structure.

Such a situation is placed on vertebrates. Then there is the proof of the hexapod. But invertebrates such as insects are an exception, as insects already have six legs. Relying on the number of wings alone, it is really impossible to determine the time of the appearance of this race. However, for Coleoptera insects, the presence of two pairs of membranous wings undoubtedly greatly enhances their flight ability. In addition, the elytra of species such as cryptoptera are only used to protect the weak wings, and there is no need to protect other parts of the body at all, so the size of the elytra is very small and will not have much impact on flight.

After discovering this, Ye Ziyun was glad for his previous decision. For this insect. The distance between that bush and the immortal territory is really not a big deal!

In fact, the reason why this insect is a kind of cryptoptera is because in addition to their appearance, they also have similar special features to cryptopterus. The most similar of these is that they have some kind of toxin in their body, and the way they secrete the toxin is very similar to that of Cryptoptera.

The mouthparts of this insect are not well developed, so it really can't bite people, and it encounters creatures with strong defense. They can't even break through each other's defenses. There are also no stingers on the tail, so it is not possible for bees and insects to inject venom directly into the target's body. The way they secrete venom. It is through the joints of the whole body that extravades. Of course, this way of secreting venom is not something they can fully control. Because all of their body fluids carry some kind of toxin, and those body fluids that act as lubricants between the joints naturally also carry toxins. Although these body fluids are tiny, they still ooze out of the body whenever they are active.

said so much, in fact, it was because Ye Ziyun had a sense of crisis. It is this poisonous bodily fluid. The mechanism of the unknown toxin is still unknown, but its effect is shocking to Yeziyun. Because after a series of experiments, Ye Ziyun discovered that this toxin can actually speed up the degradation of higher energy into lower energy!

For example, under normal circumstances, the immortal qi that has just been transformed wants to be degraded into the elemental energy and soul energy of the corresponding attributes. Then the time it takes until the degradation process takes place is measured in decades. However, if these toxins are allowed to emit into the air and come into contact with those ownerless fairy qi, then even the newly transformed fairy qi will degrade within a week and become the elemental energy before the transformation.

Well, it's elemental energy. Although I don't know why, what this toxin can speed up is only the degradation rate of the immortal qi converted from elemental energy. However, this cannot be said to be a blessing in the midst of misfortune. Because those elemental energies that have been degraded and turned back are impossible to be transformed into immortal qi again!

Ye Ziyun had personally verified this matter, he slept in a small room filled with the elemental energy that had been degraded back by the toxin for a few days, but the result was that he failed to transform the slightest immortal qi!

Such an ability is a chicken rib for this world, because it does not change the total amount of energy in the entire world. In a world dominated by elemental energy, such abilities do not cause any damage to the overall environment. However, this ability is definitely not good news for those races that need to use higher energy. The toxins in these insects do not degrade the higher energies of the owner, but they can destroy the energy environment that a race has so hard to shape.

For those races that need to cultivate advanced energy to increase their strength, destroying the energy environment they are in is actually destroying their future. After all, in this world, regression is certainly the way to death, but after a long period of stagnancy, it is actually no different from regression.

However, after the shock, Ye Ziyun still felt that he had not found the point. Even if the toxins on these insects spread in the territory of the Immortal Clan, then it would definitely destroy the foundation of the Immortal Clan. But that doesn't explain the source of the sense of crisis he had felt. After all, these toxins can't work on the owner's higher energy, which means that even if the energy environment of the immortal clan territory is destroyed, the overall strength of the immortal clan will not be a problem for a while. And in addition to those few magic weapons, the transformer of immortal qi is the one with the highest efficiency.

So even if the energy environment of the Immortal Territory is destroyed. Even those magic weapons were destroyed. But as long as he Ye Ziyun is still alive, then after he leads the members of the Immortal Clan to migrate to another place and settle down, it is not easy to get another territory with a similar environment, but as long as he is willing to spend time, it can definitely be done.

Therefore, the source of that sense of crisis is definitely not the damage that these toxins can cause to the higher energy environment. It's something deeper, something that can directly threaten him Ye Ziyun himself. But when it comes to the research area, the most powerful thing in these bugs is the toxin, is there any unknown secret of the toxin in it?

With this in mind, the Yezi Cloud Ghost made a miracle to do something. I saw him drop a drop of the collected toxin into a beaker, and then opened his mouth to bite his finger, squeezing out a drop of his own blood, and dripped it near the drop of toxin.

Then, a strange scene happened. It was as if the toxin had been brought to life. Actually automatically approached the drop of blood of Ye Ziyun. And at the moment when the toxin mixed with the blood, this drop of mixture actually erupted into powerful energy fluctuations! And that's not all, after mixing it completely, Ye Ziyun found that the mixture instantly corroded the beaker and the table!

You must know that although the beaker used by Ye Ziyun is not the props produced by the system mall, it was also used by the dragon clan back then. I haven't delved into what the specific material is, but it can be preserved from the Third Age to the Fifth Age and is still like a new product, so you can know how advanced its material is. And such a beaker. Nima was easily corroded! And it's not a hole in the corrosion, it's as if it's melted. Turned into a kind of powdered slag! And like this beaker, the table where the beaker is placed has the same fate.

In order to prevent the situation from continuing to deteriorate, Ye Ziyun immediately made a decision and used a spatial barrier to seal the drop of mixture in the fall. However, the unexpected happened, and the moment the mixture touched the spatial barrier. It's actually starting to corrode the spatial barrier!

Although the rate of this corrosion is far less rapid than that of the previous beakers and tables, it is also destroying the spatial barrier at a speed that is visible to the naked eye......

Nima, it's a big deal.

Ye Ziyun didn't expect that after the toxins on the body of that insect were mixed with the blood of the creature, it would actually become such a dangerous thing! Even the space enchantment can't be completely defended, and there is wood! As it stands. It won't be long before the spatial barrier used to seal that drop of mixed liquid will be completely corroded!

In desperation, Ye Ziyun had no choice but to sacrifice a small cup produced by the system mall and put the mixture up. Although Ye Ziyun also guessed that this mixture should have an effective time, otherwise this world would have been ruled by this kind of bug a long time ago. Even the spatial enchantment can corrode the poison, Ye Ziyun really can't imagine if there is anything in the natural world that can ignore such corrosion.

Next, Ye Ziyun tested the mixture, and no matter what he brought, it was impossible to escape the end of being corroded into fly ash. Even if he turned into a dragon, the scales that were plucked from his body were only a little longer under the corrosion of this drop. You must know that the scales on Ye Ziyun's own body, the strength is an immortal body with the strength of a true immortal level, and even among the immortal bodies of the true immortal level, it is also a very high intensity. After all, the body of the dragon bloodline is already very powerful and has various resistances. The corrosiveness of this drop of mixture, Nima can already be said to be against the sky.

When he got here, Ye Ziyun didn't know what the sense of crisis that came out of his heart was going on? According to the characteristics of the toxin mixed with his blood, since even the scales he pulled out when he turned into a dragon form could be corroded, then once he was injected with this toxin, it would not be too easy to kill him from the inside out!

Ye Ziyun also understood that the insect must have mastered some kind of means of injecting toxins into the target's body, causing the toxins to mix with the target's blood. Ye Ziyun didn't know exactly what such a method was, and he didn't dare to try it. After all, according to the performance of that drop of mixed liquid, even Ye Ziyun was not confident that he would be able to guarantee his life under that powerful corrosiveness.

What the? System-kun?

Indeed, from the moment Ye Ziyun completed the mandatory task, the system could continue to guarantee the safety of his life. But don't forget, the mechanism of the system Jun also has a premise, and the premise is that Yeziyun as the host is not self-defeating. If Ye Ziyun really uses himself to do experiments, then there is a more than 90% chance that he will be judged by the system to find death.

So, even though he was tempted to figure out how the bug was going to get the toxin into the target's body, it really wasn't the time. At the very least, it is better not to carry out such experiments until a solution is found to deal with that mixture.

And just when Ye Ziyun was entangled with the cup in his hand, the research team led by Yueying made a new discovery. They figured out how the bugs built a higher energy environment, or rather, they found the means by which the bugs converted elemental energy into that unknown higher energy!

All of this was just a coincidence, because the study required a large number of different data to be compared, so the research team set up different environments for the observation and recording of several living samples brought back by Yeziyun. In the end, the research team came to the conclusion that the root of these bugs in this world is the toxins in their bodies!

After those toxins are emitted into the air, contact with the ownerless higher energy will accelerate the degradation rate of those higher energy, and the degraded elemental energy cannot be converted into higher energy again. However, when these toxins come into contact with the ownerless elemental energy, they will transform those ownerless elemental energy into that unknown higher energy! The rate of conversion is similar to the rate at which higher energies are degraded. And the higher energy after transformation seems to have the same characteristics as the degraded elemental energy.

This conclusion made the entire research team very helpless, because everyone already understood that the energy transformation method of these insects was a kind of talent or something, which belonged to the category of bloodline continuation, and it was not a knowledge passed down through inheritance at all, and there was no possibility of replication at all.

In the end, the research team had no choice but to report their conclusions to Ye Ziyun. And after Ye Ziyun heard this conclusion, he had to put aside the idea of finding the inheritance place of this insect for the time being. Now the problems are one after another, and until he finds a way to deal with that toxin and blood mixture, Ye Ziyun thinks it's better not to take the initiative to provoke that kind of bug.

However, he always felt that something was wrong in his heart. Why did such a group of bugs appear at this time in a place not far from the territory of the Immortal Clan? And it's not just passing, it's settling...... (To be continued.) )
