Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Maze
It only took a few hours for these blood fairy insects to run out of the mountaintop basin, and they had already begun to transform, and their speed was beyond imagination.
But it's right to think about it, at that time, the Blood Fairy Worm King was extremely weak, and completely lost control of these ordinary Blood Immortal Worms, and their running out was equivalent to establishing their own mountains, and naturally a new Worm King would be born.
It's an instinct, and they can't resist it.
Once a new Worm King is born from those Blood Immortal Worms, the old Worm King will be rejected, and its status will cease to exist completely.
The Blood Fairy Worm King was also aware of this, and he couldn't wait to make a move at the moment, but it didn't move, but was waiting for instructions.
Yu Xiao didn't have that kind of eager thought, he was just curious in his heart, what was the reason for the blood fairy worm to transform so quickly.
Thinking of this, he felt that it was necessary to study it carefully, and immediately gave the Blood Immortal Worm King a decree.
The latter was already ready to attack, and after receiving Yu Xiao's permission, his wings shook violently, and they shot out like bullets, heading straight for the new insect king.
As the saying goes, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, as soon as the two insect kings met, there was no superfluous foreplay, and they immediately scuffled together.
Seeing this scene, the other blood fairy insects next to them not stepped forward to help, but also fled separately, and it could be seen that they were not very willing to surrender to the new insect king, let alone obey the orders of the old insect king.
This is a battle between two insects, Yu Xiao did not intervene, he took advantage of this time to put the rest of the escaped blood fairy insects into the spirit insect bag one by one, and now the insect swarm inside has grown a lot.
At this time, the battle between the two insect kings was still continuing, they didn't have any bells and whistles, they just kept charging, and then hugged each other and gnawed.
Generally, the blood fairy insects that have metamorphosed to this point have evolved their body walls, and the skin on the surface of their bodies has become very hard, as if they are wearing a layer of armor, and their defense is very good.
The two insects collided and bit for a long time, but they did not leave traces on each other's bodies.
However, after all, the old insect king transformed relatively early, and swallowed a lot of blood essence to recover his vitality, whether it was strength or momentum, he had to overwhelm the other party.
At that time, the new insect king obviously had not completely completed the transformation, it had the courage to challenge the old insect king, but it didn't have that strength, and finally after a bite, it was clamped by the opponent's jaw and necked, and it looked like it was about to die.
However, at the last moment, the old worm king stopped and did not choose to bite off its neck.
At this time, Yu Xiao walked up from behind.
The reason why the old worm king did this, of course, was his will, otherwise the former would never have left the latter.
The reason for leaving it is very simple, one more insect king, one more powerful combat power, anyway, with him, even if there are more insect kings, it will not let the blood fairy insect swarm split.
He simply ran the "Empty Soul Technique", squeezed out a drop of blood to condense the Divine Soul Imprint, and punched it into the body of the New Worm King.
The latter did not struggle to resist for a long time like the old insect king, but quickly accepted the fact that the human in front of him was dominant.
Yu Xiao summoned the new insect king, carefully looked at its changes, and soon made a discovery.
The number of golden stripes on the back of this new Worm King is really quite a lot, extending from the back of the neck to the tail, there are seven of them, which are not much inferior to the old Worm King.
But the color of those stripes is very light, far less vivid and bright than the old insect king.
The reason for this is not only that it has not completely metamorphosed and the time is short, but also that its metamorphosis is not a normal way of metamorphosis of the insect king.
Usually a swarm of blood fairies will give birth to a new king, and they will go through a brutal battle, the winner will devour the loser, and when enough of their kind are devoured, they will metamorphose, and their backs will begin to grow golden streaks.
However, this cannibalistic transformation method does not allow the new insect king to directly give birth to seven stripes on his back, but one by one.
Obviously, this insect king must have devoured something else to produce such a change.
Thinking about it, this is a forbidden place for the building, and there are countless spiritual herbs of all kinds, and it is normal for spirit insects to undergo transformation after eating something.
"The things that can make the Blood Fairy Worms transform, if they are used to cultivate them, may be able to get more and more powerful Worm Kings."
Yu Xiao muttered a sentence in his mouth, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, and he was about to pass on his order.
The new insect king had already opened his mind and understood what he meant, and turned in a circle in the palm of his hand, making a flying motion, as if to signal something.
"It looks like there's a play!"
Seeing this, Yu Xiao's face was slightly happy, and he raised his hand to release it, and the latter went straight to the north with a whoosh, and he immediately followed.
In a short time, he came to a gray, misty area.
Most of the places there were blocked by miasma, and his divine sense couldn't penetrate it, and he didn't know what was inside, so Yu Xiao didn't dare to fly in rashly, and he fell down and looked around.
As far as the eye could see, there were some huge irregular stones, which were disorderly and stood on the ground crookedly, and there seemed to be nothing strange about them.
However, Yu Xiao, who had studied the way of the formation, could see at a glance that this was a maze.
There are many types of mazes, and they are easily recognizable when they are naturally formed.
The aura of the forbidden place is rich, these stones have been here for many years, and it is not impossible for some changes to occur, as long as there is a weak aura, it can become the spirit stone needed to arrange the formation.
Moreover, there were not just a few stones here, but a large group of stones, all of which were chaotic and disorderly, but which already had a mysterious stone formation in them.
It is precisely because of the existence of the stone henge that the miasma in this place is lingering and persistent, and in the long run, more and more miasma gathers here, thus forming such a foggy scene now.
At this time, the blood fairy worm was lying on his shoulder and shaking its head, and its smart little eyes were staring at the front, as if to say that it was the transformation that was completed inside.
Yu Xiao didn't doubt this, after all, this kind of good thing that can transform a spirit worm, if it can be easily obtained, will not be left behind.
Thinking of this, he planned to go in and find out, but before that, it was better to test it.
He stretched out his hand to take in a cloud of miasma, studied it carefully for a moment, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
This miasma does have a certain toxicity, but that is for mortals, and an immortal cultivator like him can completely eliminate the influence of the miasma.
With this judgment, he let the Blood Fairy Worm lead the way in front, and he followed behind, so that if there was any abnormality, he could also respond quickly.
In this way, one worm entered the stone henge one by one, and the road at the beginning was still unremarkable, and there was nothing strange about it.
However, after walking a distance, Yu Xiao noticed something unusual, and suddenly turned around, realizing that the way he came had disappeared.
At this moment, behind him was a huge stone more than ten zhang high, blocking the way he came.
Rounding the stones, there were a few paths behind him, but none of them were the same one he had come, and when he turned around and walked forward, the huge stone had disappeared again.
Such a strange scene made Yu Xiao stunned in place, with a slightly interested look on his face: "Sure enough, it's not an ordinary natural maze, it even has the effect of shapeshifting and changing shadows, which is a bit interesting!" ”
