Chapter Twenty-Five: Dead but Not Stiff
Hu Menglin watched this strange insect that was 10,000 meters long flexibly flipping from the ground, leaning out from time to time and attacking Hu Menglin. If it weren't for the lifelessness in its tens of thousands of compound eyes, I wouldn't dare to imagine that this thing was a dead thing!
"Ye Qi Niang, when will this thing die and be stiff?"
"I think this hundred-legged ghost corpse should be a hundred-legged god centipede before his death, and he has the strength of a middle-rank ancestral god or even stronger. This thing was only the thickness of a finger when it was born, but it was born without 30,000 years, it was long and unchanged for 30,000 years, it changed but not 30,000 years old, and it was not until the 150,000th year that it became the thickness of an arm. And once it dies, it will take 30,000 years to die without being stiff!"
Hu Menglin scolded bitterly, turned around and pulled out the cold thunder gun, stabbing the monster worm's head. The strange insect instinctively went to hide, but let Hu Menglin, who was following up quickly, shoot right in the eyebrows. There was a piercing sound of metal clashing, and the tip of the gun was reversed, and the head of the strange insect did not even leave a white mark!
Ye Qi Niang laughed so hard that she was about to bend down, "I didn't tell you just now that it was at the middle ancestral god level before it died? After this thing dies, the body essence will concentrate on the skin, bones, tendons, and eyes." Sensei said that you have a high-level artifact, even if the ancestral artifact can't be split, it is estimated that this thing was directly destroyed by the peak ancestral god to kill the divine soul!"
Hu Menglin dodged the pursuit of the strange insects, "Let's go, we can't afford to hide if we can't provoke it!"
Ye Qiniang pulled Hu Menglin, "I can't go! If my guess is correct, the person who killed it wants to get its skin, bones and other important materials completely, so let it die without stiffening, and gather the essence of life together little by little! So, there must be a magic circle around here that can enter and not exit!"
Hu Menglin patronized and listened to Ye Qi Niang, and by accident, he actually swept the front whisker hook of the strange stone, and rolled and flew into a pile of boulders. With Hu Menglin's huge strength, the boulder that could be smashed was completely unmoving, but Hu Menglin spat out a mouthful of blood, his left arm was broken, and in a deep groove, the blue-green venom was desperately surging into his body.
Hu Menglin hurriedly jumped into the air, desperately dodging the pursuit while running the exercises to squeeze out the toxins on his arms. Fortunately, this strange insect had already died, and there was no sense in the venom, but it just drilled into Hu Menglin's body by instinct. It took almost a day for Hu Menglin to completely clear the venom and begin to recover his arm.
In the meantime, he tried to fly thousands of miles away several times, but an invisible barrier really existed, and no amount of escape was effective.
Ye Qiniang smiled and groaned, almost telling the origin of this bug, but she couldn't understand how to get rid of this thing.
There was no way, Hu Menglin observed this thing, and used his divine sense to invade its head. After trying a few times, Hu Menglin felt that there was a door. This thing obviously has no sense of resistance, and the sea of spirit is completely open.
A few wisps of soul power invaded with all his might, and a dark green space appeared, in which green clouds rolled, scattered spiritual fragments were everywhere, constantly gathering in one place, while a monster like a dragon was rolling in its spiritual sea, and whenever the fragments gathered to a certain extent, they would rush up and bite it and devour it.
Try to absorb the green cloud and the spirit fragments. Hu Menglin was pleasantly surprised to find that he was able to absorb it, even faster than the unconscious monster.
In the process of devouring, it inevitably collided with the monster in one place. Hu Menglin's soul power commanded the majestic spiritual power to rush up to encircle and suppress it, but found that this thing was not formed by any kind of rule or avenue that Hu Menglin could understand at all, and even the spiritual power that was composed was different.
In the continuous struggle, Hu Menglin's soul power gradually lost, and the monster was only slightly injured. Watching it keep swimming, Hu Menglin realized that if he didn't eliminate it and control this corpse worm, it would be difficult for him to complete the task of finding the "Fire Camphor Fede" in twenty years!
He also divided some soul power, organized more green spirit fragments to impact that monster, and instead of tearing it up repeatedly, it became smaller little by little. In the middle, a large amount of green spiritual fragments were consumed, turning into wisps of life force and integrating into the body of the corpse insect.
Ye Qiniang seemed to understand Hu Menglin's anxiety, and said with a smile, "Boy, it's only been a little over a year, and there is still time to go, as long as this strange insect is controlled, with its strength, there is still hope for breaking through the forbidden formation outside." By the way, it's been so long, why can't you control it?"
Hu Menglin briefly explained the situation, Ye Qiniang frowned and said, "No, if the other party wants to control it after killing it, how can it leave a trace of divine sense to snatch it repeatedly?"
Hu Menglin had long wanted her to help, but Ye Qiniang was always reluctant to reach out to help, saying something like "You have to go your own way, and you have to overcome your own difficulties!"
When Ye Qiniang appeared in the gray space, she suddenly screamed, "Hu Menglin, kill the other party, this is the energy of the other universe, this thing is the self-generated spirit consciousness remaining in the body of the strange insect." If you let it control the corpse worms, hundreds of thousands of miles around it will be over!"
Without her reminding him, Hu Menglin was also trying his best to control the spiritual fragments of the corpse insect itself, repeatedly impacting it like a tide, trying to bite off pieces of "meat" from it by drilling, biting, gnawing, and pulling!
Gradually, a trace of pale xenomorph energy in the space began to spread, and it was destroyed little by little by Hu Menglin with his divine sense power, and absorbed into pure soul power.
The effort finally paid off, and Hu Menglin was very happy. Continue to complete the important task of extermination.
It took almost two more years for Hu Menglin to finally completely wipe out this monster, but there were not many spiritual fragments left in the sea of corpse insect spirits!
Ye Qiniang looked at Hu Menglin strangely, "How can you absorb this gray energy from another universe?
Hu Menglin smiled, he didn't understand whether it was the credit of Jianmu Jue or his identity!
When he surfaced on the surface of the corpse insect and returned to his own body, he found that his spiritual power had skyrocketed, and the entire spiritual sea was boundless, expanding several times. Obviously, this is because he didn't fully absorb the spirit fragment of the corpse worm!
The excitement is indescribable. But when I turned around, I began to worry again! How did the surrounding magic circle break through and leave?
Ye Qiniang circled around, "Hu Menglin, there are obvious traces of gnawing on this, obviously this strange insect has the ability to bite through the formation! It's better to control it to bite a little, with its sharp teeth, I'm afraid it won't take long to bite a hole!"
Hu Menglin was overjoyed, and once again drilled his soul into the insect corpse that was frantically chasing behind him, but after a while, he complained to Ye Qiniang with a wry smile, "This guy's spiritual sea is full of spiritual channels, and it is completely a huge magic circle, and it can't be fully understood without thousands of years!"
Ye Qiniang followed Hu Menglin to get in again, and swam around in the sea of spirits, "It's really cumbersome, this kind of strange thing in heaven and earth doesn't ride monsters! It's you, can you retract the whole body into this thing's mind, or let the body attach to its head and neck, so that the body will not be harmed, and then completely integrate the divine soul into it?"
Hu Menglin nodded. He had already discovered that there was a place on the corpse where he could hang his body, and here, no matter how much the corpse was tossed, he would not touch it! He decisively put all his soul into the corpse's mind.
Ye Qiniang sat cross-legged on the black wooden tablet, looking at Hu Menglin with a smile, "I am here to preside over the treasure and increase the time by a thousand times, in this way, a year is almost a thousand years outside, whether you can comprehend this magic circle depends on your understanding!"
Hu Menglin didn't say a word, and devoted himself to this complicated formation.
As time passed, Hu Menglin's comprehension became faster and faster. Gradually, the sea-like lines in front of him gradually lit up with green light, extending into the distance.
As Hu Menglin's control over the insect body became stronger and stronger, the insect corpse gradually regained its quietness.
"Hu Menglin, just control your head, there is no time to comprehend again! The longer the time, the easier it will be for the strong man who killed this hundred-legged god dragon to find out. Immediately command it to bite the outside formation!"
Hu Menglin acted decisively, sticking to one place, tearing at it with its teeth.
Ye Qiniang stood beside the magic circle, looked at the thinner and thinner formation, and let out a long breath, "Boy, this magic circle is really vicious, it is actually turtle shell-shaped, if you break through a little, you can only enter and exit, but you can't collapse the entire magic circle." Coupled with the fact that the formation can enter and exit, I guess that the ancestral god who killed this insect should be very ruthless. I want more creatures to die in the mouth of this worm and integrate more energy into this worm's body!"
Hu Menglin nodded, "I also thought about it, how could there be such a person? Why don't you just take it away, just put it in a safe place and wait slowly, it's just going to harm people! This insect corpse is too big, otherwise I will definitely take it away, and let that ancestor god who lacks virtue be busy in vain!"
Ye Qiniang smiled, "And this thought? It's not that I look down on you, this thing is invulnerable, invulnerable, and I can't tear off a piece of its skin with my ability, and once you kid leaves its spiritual sea, I'm afraid this thing will still chase and bite indiscriminately? Although the space in my body is large enough, how can I take it away, and I'm not afraid that it will bite the ancestral artifact of Gumu Sect?"
Hu Meng Lynch said, "Isn't this thing biting because of the spiritual fragments left in the sea of spirits?"
"No, the main reason why this thing is dead and not stiff is because of its tendons! I don't know if you have observed, now its back body has begun to be inflexible, and it is completely chased by the head and neck, and it seems that it has no power to flick its tail! This is actually its tendons have begun to tighten to half of the surface, and I guess that this tendon should be completely formed in a few hundred years and evolve into a high-level or even peak ancestral artifact. If it's possible, remove this tendon, and I can take the whole worm corpse with me!"
