The overall color of the Lingyan insects is blue-brown, which is not so conspicuous, but in fact, their body structure is very peculiar. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Its forewings are keratinized, hard, without wing veins, often habitually called "elytra", the exoskeleton is developed, the body is hard, if born with armor, it can play a good role in protecting internal organs.

This insect resembles an ordinary beetle, its body shape changes greatly, and its adaptability is also very strong, with chewing mouthparts, and it has a wide range of eating habits, but unlike ordinary insects, the things that Lingyan insects eat are not plants, nor meat, but directly feed on the aura of heaven and earth, and through the transformation of internal digestive organs, they can even transform the inhaled aura into pure spiritual power in a very short period of time.

Spirit insects are born with limited spiritual intelligence, unlike the human race or some beast races with unique bloodlines, which have the possibility of becoming monks, so the spiritual power they transform by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth cannot have a good attack effect like the spiritual power of other monks, but this does not mean that their spiritual power is useless, at least in one point, the spiritual power of other creatures can be compared with them.

That is to be used to probe the spiritual sense, and then to cause it.

Although spiritual consciousness is only a manifestation of the remnants of the monk's spiritual power, because they carry part of their memories, their existence is also extremely precious.

It's just that the years are ruthless, not only can the heroes turn into smoke and dust, and their red faces turn into dry bones, but they can also make the spiritual sense continue to be eroded, and the memory is gradually lost, which is why Qin Cang and the others have been some hours before coming to these five stone gates, but they have not been able to find any obvious spiritual consciousness on them.

It is not that it does not exist, but it has undergone the corrosion of the long years, and the spiritual consciousness in it has become extremely thin, and it can no longer manifest itself, and it needs to be used to appear with the help of external forces.

Such an important point, no one took the initiative to reveal it to Qin Cang, but the conjecture they made by relying on their own inference, since it was a conjecture, they did not dare to say that it was 100% correct, whether it was consistent with the facts, it still needed to be carefully verified.

Therefore, everyone present was looking forward to the scene where Sang Zhirou used the spirit insect to communicate with Shimen.

The Spirit Worm itself is not too aggressive, and even if it fails to achieve results, it will not attract too strong a counterattack like Liu Sandao, so even if Sang Zhirou's move is fruitless, there will be no loss for them.

And if Sang Zhirou really used the spirit worm to communicate the remaining spiritual consciousness in the stone gate, then naturally everyone would be happy, and with the guidance of the spiritual sense of the stone gate, they would no longer be able to stand in place and wait like now, but would have a great chance to enter the stone gate, go to the higher floors of the giant tower, and get the secret treasure.

......

The silent anticipation caused a brief silence in the scene.

Sang Zhirou's heart was not still, because as early as when she released hundreds of spirit insects from the spirit ring, her entire heart was also moved with the movement of these spirit insects.

Soon after Sang Zhirou joined the Great Yan Demon Sect, she had actually been guided by Yi Qian and began to deal with Lingyan insects, at first she was only familiar with the habits of these insects from the perspective of a bystander, it was not that complicated, it just took some time to memorize.

But later, at the request of Yi Qian, she began to transform from a bystander to a cultivator, starting with the newborn Lingyan larvae, and through her own understanding of their habits, she created an illusion that was most suitable for them to survive and exercise.

Naturally, this is no longer easy.

She is both a cultivator and a witness, and in the past twenty years, she has not only seen her transformation from a cowardly little girl to a young generation of elite cultivators of the Great Yan Demon Sect, but also seen the spiritual insects she cultivated constantly dying.

She thinks that the living environment she has created for these spirit insects is good enough, and she has invested enough energy and effort, but no matter how good the environment is, no matter how much effort is expended, it still can't change the heavy natural fate of life and death.

The smaller the creature, the more fragile life is.

Seven-foot mortals, only a few decades of hurried years, the slightest insect pig, that is even shorter.

The reason why summer insects don't say ice is not because they don't like the cold of winter, but because they don't even have the opportunity to see this cold.

The regret of not being able to see it with your own eyes will not be inferior to the fleeting regret of passing by.

This is, of course, a great sadness.

It is not only the sorrow of the Lingyan insects, but also the sorrow of Sang Zhirou, people are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless? When the batches of Lingyan insects cultivated by herself came to the end of their lives, how could she be indifferent?

The irreparable regret is always impressive.

Sang Zhirou didn't want to face these deep impressions, but sealed them one by one in her heart, so to this day, she can't remember how many batches of spirit worms she has witnessed, all she always pays attention to is whether these spirit worms that she can mobilize now can create their own maximum value in the short years of life.

Like a meteor streaked across the sky, it passed away in the blink of an eye, but at least it left behind a moment of brilliance.

Such a brilliant moment, in the hearts of certain people, can actually be regarded as eternal.

What Sang Zhirou expects is this kind of eternity.

Therefore, without the slightest stinginess, she urged the spiritual power of the hundreds of spirit insects in her palm, let their spiritual power merge with each other, forming a thin but tight silk thread, and then let these spirit insects crawl along this spiritual power silk thread towards the stone gate in front of her.

The stone door was still closed, still so dull.

But with the influx of these spirit worms, this silent atmosphere quickly changed.

Like a rainbow light piercing through the clouds!

It's like a spark lighting up the night sky!

There was a buzzing sound from the stone gate, it was a cry from death to life!

Weak at first, then intense!

An aura suddenly leaked out of the stone door.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of strands of spiritual energy were pulled and revealed on the door.

Many spiritual qi gathered, and a long figure was slowly outlined on this huge stone gate, but this figure seemed to be covered by the floating lan in the mountains, and he had to vaguely glimpse the outline, unable to see the true shape.

The same scene was also reflected in the other four stone gates at the same time.

Sang Zhirou looked shocked, and the rest of the people were even more shocked, but what followed was joy.

Because just communicating one stone gate caused the other four stone gates to change in unison, which was enough to show that the five stone gates were interconnected, and nine times out of ten, they really led to the fourth to eighth floors of the giant tower as they expected.

The Lingyan insect finally played an effect, successfully drawing out the remnants of the spiritual consciousness on the stone gate, and the many spiritual energy on the five stone doors converged with each other, if there was rain pouring in the void, the mist was filled, and a long figure was hidden in the realm of nothingness, not knowing its appearance, only peeking its shape.

The awakening of the spiritual consciousness that had been silent for many years and turned into a spiritual shadow was actually a short-lived life.

But the hundreds of spirit insects that led it out were killed or injured due to exhaustion.

In nothingness, life and death alternate.

Shadow out.

Worm exhaustion.
