Chapter 477: Spirit Butterfly
The forest is full of flowers and green trees.
It gives people a sense of tranquility and tranquility.
But it is full of unknown and strange dangers.
In this completely unfamiliar world, Wei Tao saw for the first time what a hidden deadly killing machine is.
After eating a few packets of ethereal flowers and a sandfly worm, he felt as if he was holding on, so he prepared to take a look around the area and inspect his own territory.
Not far from the ethereal flowerbed, he was flying at a low altitude, shuttling through the dense jungle, but without warning, he was mutating and protruding.
Ambushed by an unnamed, inconspicuous-looking black bug, it sprang out of the hidden bushes and took a bite.
Although he immediately swung his scythe and slashed the other party, the wound was rapidly rotting and spreading outward.
Even his spirit was in a little trance, almost making him unable to maintain his flying posture, and an upside-down onion fell down.
This black beetle is very powerful.
Hide first, then surprise attack.
The hit hit and immediately fled away.
There is no greed for merit at all.
If it's still the same praying mantis from before, maybe it will go back to the west directly.
But alas, after he came down with a distraction and took over in full swing, everything became completely different.
Although he had just come and had not yet found the direction of his evolutionary ascension, under the control of the True Spirit Distraction, both his reaction speed and his body control ability were more than twice as strong as before.
Therefore, after being attacked by a sneak attack, he was able to counterattack at the first time and hack the black beetle that was about to flee to death.
As time passed, Wei Tao's eyes turned black, and his spirit became more and more blurred, and he could no longer control the flapping of his wings.
He quickly found a place to stop, wielding his blade to cut most of the carrion off before slowly sitting down and leaning against the trunk of the tree to recover.
"This thing is poisonous."
"So, I almost got numbed by a black bug."
Wei Tao took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, changed to a more comfortable position, and began to continue to remove the remaining carrion.
After a moment, he looked impatient.
With a wave of the claw, the wound was directly doubled, fundamentally solving the source of the problem.
After a full quarter of an hour, the blackened gaze finally returned to its original state.
However, it will take longer for the bite wound to grow and heal, and it will return to normal from time to time.
Buzz Buzz......
The sound of wings flapping can be heard from far and near.
The old sandfly with two guards quickly approached.
Halfway there, they first saw the corpse of the black bug, and their expressions suddenly changed, and they looked a little more frightened and awe-inspiring.
To the sandflies' horror, shortly after the previous attack, the poison armor lurked near the ethereal flowerbed again and attacked them again.
However, the enemy who used to need the steward to take them together every time to barely deal with it died like this!?
It still looked like it had been hacked to death, without giving it any chance to fight back.
It definitely shows that the strength of the steward has skyrocketed recently, and he is far above the poisonous beetle, so he can defeat the enemy with one move, and there are no extra traces of battle from beginning to end.
"Steward, are you alright?"
The old sandfly knelt down, his tone becoming more and more respectful.
It was as if he had just been eaten by a fellow human being, and it didn't make any waves in his heart at all.
In other words, the humility of the upper and lower levels has been deeply imprinted in his consciousness, like a steel seal of thought, which does not tolerate half disobedience and questioning.
"Find that black worm and bring it to me."
"If something that doesn't know whether it's dead or alive dares to sneak attack and bite me, then it must be eaten by me."
Wei Tao said and yawned, "Although it is a little bit supported now, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to eat another worm." ”
"Steward's ......"
The old sandfly was cautious and said tentatively.
However, he had only just started when he was directly interrupted without mercy.
"My lord, my lord's ass."
"Where did you learn the feudal dross?"
Wei Tao raised his head and glanced at it expressionlessly, "Everyone is a bug, do bugs know, although they look a little human, they are not people after all, so where does the word adult come from?" ”
The old sandfly couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic, and changed his words without hesitation, "Yes, yes, it's all the fault of the little worm, and please punish the big worm." ”
"God is in charge of big worms."
"Forget it, adults are adults, anyway, no matter what I become, I have the purest heart."
Wei Tao waved his hand, and his tone became more and more impatient.
"Hurry up and bring the black beetle over, although it has just bitten me, but I am kind-hearted and gentle, and I always can't see other creatures suffering.
I can't bear to let it go into the wilderness, so I can only work hard to let it enter my stomach and bury it. ”
The old sandfly took a deep breath and pressed its head lower, "Lord Steward, it's a poisonous beetle, it contains a lot of toxins in its body, if you want to eat it, you need to marinate it in advance, so as to suppress the toxicity to the greatest extent." ”
"You need to tidy up your appearance before burial, right, I understand, I know very well."
Wei Tao nodded, and slowly straightened up on the tree, "You can find a few skilled hands to deal with this matter, remember to tidy it up more flavorfully, this is the respect we should have for the deceased." ”
As he spoke, he turned and flapped his wings, and flew towards the hollow in the tree where he had first descended, leaving only a sound to echo quietly through the forest.
"I hit my head when I got up to go to the bathroom last night, and I can't remember a lot of things clearly, and I need to re-understand myself and sort out my messy memories.
Come with me, and tell me about the Ethereal Flower Garden, the Spirit Butterfly Clan, and the precautions for welcoming the Spirit Butterfly Envoy, so as not to make any jokes that should not be made when you get there. ”
………………
……………………
The last ray of light faded away.
The whole forest was silent.
I don't know when it started, but the night wind gradually picked up.
It makes a rattling sound when it blows through the branches and leaves.
There is a sound of insects chirping in between.
On the contrary, the night is more eerie and quiet.
Wei Tao opened his eyes at this time.
Look through the hole in the tree and look up at the sky of the crescent moon.
It's a moon.
It has nothing to do with the eyes.
He looked closely, felt deeply, and finally came to this conclusion.
Therefore, based on his experience in the Star Ring World, there should be no Realm Lord in this world.
Taking a step back, even if there were, it was in a deeper sleep, and it was even more difficult to wake up than Mingshu Xingjun.
A night breeze blows, bringing a chill.
There was also a faint roar of wild beasts, which came into the ears at this time.
Wei Tao withdrew his gaze and turned his attention back to his body.
At the same time, he is also trying to search for memory fragments, trying to find a system of exercises that can be used for practice.
He could vaguely perceive that there was something similar to spiritual consciousness in heaven and earth, which brought people a strange feeling of cold slaughter and inexplicable sadness, and maybe it could be used to cultivate and improve himself.
It's a pity that this kind of spiritual consciousness is not obvious, and it can even be said to be too ethereal and vague, even at his high level, the perception is close to nothing, and it is even more difficult to understand it deeply, and he can't find the right direction at all.
Little by little, time passed.
Wei Tao sat in the cave, staring intently.
The expression on his face gradually changed, from the initial expectation, to the later hope, and finally to the helpless disappointment.
Among the memory fragments, there was nothing related to cultivation.
All the memories related to the battle are nothing more than relying on the wings on the back and the two arthropods like sickles, flying around and slashing to solve the problem.
In other words, his idea of quickly improving on the original basis was shattered at this time.
At least for now, there are no ready-made roads to choose from.
However, he learned from the old sandfly that the Spirit Butterfly clan has a noble bloodline and is born with a secret cultivation method, and compared to these low-ranking races, it is the difference between heaven and earth.
Maybe you have to wait until the envoys of the Spirit Butterfly Clan arrive, so that you can get a glimpse of some clues from them, and then find a way to give back to yourself.
However, the problem arises.
He wanted to seek a cultivation method from the Spirit Butterfly Emissary, but the arrival of the Spirit Butterfly Emissary did not mean a good thing for him.
It can even bring about a huge crisis.
According to the old sandfly, because the production of ethereal flowers has been greatly reduced this year, when the messenger of the spirit butterfly clan arrives, I am afraid that he will be punished terrible.
In serious cases, it may even cost you your life.
Therefore, as the time approached, the atmosphere of the whole flower garden became more and more depressing, and gradually filled with the atmosphere of anxiety and fear.
Therefore, if he can't improve himself before the arrival of the Spirit Butterfly Messenger, with his current strength level of only two scythes, I am afraid that he will not have the confidence to confront him head-on.
Wei Tao opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.
Start trying other ways to improve your strength.
One exercise after another came into view.
But they didn't meet the conditions for cultivation and improvement, so they had to be given up directly.
Even the most familiar and deeply immersed Qi and Blood Martial Dao is difficult to practice.
Not only is this heaven and earth strange, as if it is isolated from the world, but even the true meaning of the Holy Spirit cannot be clearly perceived.
And because of the body he has now.
After all, he's a praying mantis now.
To be precise, a hybrid of a human and a praying mantis.
Fundamentally, it is very different from the human body.
The martial arts exercises that could have been used directly were difficult to implement, and they could not achieve the desired effect at all.
Little by little, time passed.
I don't know how long later.
Wei Tao was dizzy and hungry, and his eyes began to blacken again.
He had to pause and ring a bell in the cave.
During the day, the old sandfly named Butterfly said that if anything happened, he could use the bell to send a message to call people.
The more urgent the ringtone, the more urgent it becomes.
The crisp bell rings, breaking the silence of the night in an instant.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
"Protect the steward, protect the petals of the vault!"
A moment later, with the sound of the alarm, the old sandfly hurried over.
Behind him, he was followed by a team of heavily armed guards, who surrounded the hole in the tree with a needle that could not be inserted and could not be drained.
Wei Tao came out of the cave, a little surprised by the speed with which the sandfly swarm gathered, and even a little overreacted in his opinion.
He looked at the sandfly that knelt down, and his throat involuntarily surged, "Is the poisonous beetle pickled, can you eat it now?" ”
"Back to the steward, it will take some time for the poisonous beetle to convert all the toxins into nutrients that can be absorbed."
Wei Tao took a deep breath, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and pointed in the direction where the beast's roar came from, "There, what's screaming?" ”
"Master Hui, there is a group of horned deer living in that direction, all of them are low-level creatures with no wisdom and no strength."
"Grab a few and let me taste the saltiness."
"Yes."
Although he was suspicious, he didn't dare to have any doubts, and immediately turned around and left with a team of guards.
Half an hour later.
Wei Tao wielded two bladed arthropods, kept bleeding and cutting the flesh, and then sent it to his mouth to feast.
Whew!
He is like the wind, with no thickness into the room, and his movements are smooth, just like a cow is solved.
Even brought out the afterimage of the debut, and there was a strange rhythm hidden in it.
Unconsciously, Wei Tao's movements gradually slowed down.
Until it finally came to a complete stop.
"The meat is tender and juicy, and it is very chewy, and it tastes very good."
"Although these horned deer look bigger and have more meat than ethereal flowers and sandflies, they are not enough nutrients to eat, and they need to eat more to meet my current feeding requirements."
"But these two arthropods are not bad, and they are simply claws in hand in terms of eating and grabbing food, and they have a congenital advantage."
"Thinking further, I can use these two scythes as a starting point, and then delve into how this body should stimulate the flow of qi and blood, and deduce a martial arts technique from scratch.
As long as you can reach the height of the red line box, you can be regarded as having a hidden hole card. ”
"Having a clear goal and being driven by a group of obedient subordinates allows me to concentrate on my practice.
I just don't know when the Spirit Butterfly Messenger will come, and if I can leave time to improve my strength. ”
Click!
He was whimsical, and without warning, another flash of cold light separated, separating a piece of flesh from his bone.
The sickle is unintentional, but it seems to be in harmony with the looming spiritual will between heaven and earth, bringing an incomparably wonderful sense of agility.
Wei Tao put the venison in his mouth and chewed it, then swung out another scythe.
But in the next moment, without warning, he stopped again, and let a piece of fat venison fall, and just stood there motionless.
"One claw in hand, congenital superiority, congenital superiority......"
Wei Tao stared at the arthropods like the sickles of death, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a sculpture, and he didn't move for a long time.
Frog took two people to serve by his side.
They suddenly felt an inexplicable chill that enveloped all the space around them.
This feeling of coldness even affected their spirits, and there was darkness in front of them without warning.
There is also a sound full of the artistic conception of all things killing and silence, as if it is directly swinging in the depths of their consciousness.
"The way to observe the sky, the journey to the sky, all the way!"
"Heaven kills, stars move and fall, earth kills, dragons and snakes rise, people kill, heaven and earth repeat, heaven and man are moral, and all changes are fixed......"
The body tensed and trembled.
At this moment, he felt like he was in an ice cellar, chilling from head to toe, as if even his spiritual consciousness was about to be frozen.
"This terrifying feeling, could it be said that the steward master has realized the cultivation method, a cultivation inheritance that only high-level races such as Spirit Butterfly can have?"
"No, it's impossible to realize yourself, the lower bloodlines don't have that ability at all.
So the biggest possibility is that the steward actually has a noble bloodline, but he didn't know why he ended up here, and he didn't awaken the inheritance secret method until now? ”
The old sandfly thought about it, and unconsciously lowered his body, for fear of making any movement and disturbing the perception and cultivation of the master in front of him.
"The sword cultivation in the Hidden Sword Pavilion is heavy on meaning and not heavy on style."
"I haven't practiced the Three Talents Sword Killing before, in addition to focusing on the Vajra Secret Method and the Sect Exercises at that time, the most important reason is that it is difficult to comprehend and perceive the so-called sword intent.
Who knew that when I came to this place, in the process of killing and eating meat, I actually had the inexplicable feeling of practicing swords and practicing sword intent. ”
Swish!
Wei Tao thought in his heart, and the status bar quietly manifested in front of him.
In the exercise interface, there have been new changes.
Name: Sancai Killing Scythe.
Progress: 10 percent.
Status: Beginner.
Description: Based on the three-talent killing sword, it is made by feeling the spiritual meaning here.
"Do you consume a status bar gold coin to improve the cultivation progress of the Three Talents Killing Scythe?"
"From the three-talent killing sword to the three-talent killing sickle, it sounds like a three-talent stupid egg, and it suddenly feels like a lot of downgrades."
Wei Tao looked at the status bar a little distractedly, and after a while, he finally gathered his thoughts and clicked towards the yes option.
Whether it sounds good or not is secondary, as long as it can improve the strength of the user, it is the most important thing.
So it doesn't matter what kind of name it is, it's better to push it to the point where it's enough.
Swish......
The status bar is abruptly blurred.
A gold coin vanished without a trace.
A mysterious aura burst into the body.
The change from the inside out starts silently.
Little by little, time passed.
Wei Tao deeply understands perception.
Where the mind moved, the killing intent quietly rose.
It seems that even the surrounding temperature has dropped suddenly.
When the change stopped, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the arthrops that seemed to have become somewhat different, and without hesitation, he turned on the second ascension.
Then for the third time, the fourth time, the progress of the cultivation of the Three Talents Killing Scythe continued to move forward.
Until the darkness recedes, and the sky will be bright.
He ate all the horned deer.
Even the Ethereal Flower consumed several packs.
It can barely make up for the consumption of the improvement of the exercises.
Wei Tao swallowed the last bite of venison and looked at the status bar exercise interface.
Name: Sancai Killing Scythe.
Progress: 100 percent.
Status: Peaking.
Description: Based on the three-talent killing sword, it is made by understanding the spiritual will of heaven and earth.
"100% progress in reaching the peak, I am a kendo master with double sickles in my hands, and I have a certain degree of self-preservation ability.
The swordsman of the Tibetan Sword Pavilion entered the Tao with a sword, and now I enter the Tao with a sickle, everyone is a sharp weapon that disembowels and disembowels, and it is not necessarily who is more noble.
It's a pity that if you want to continue to break the limit and improve, the original three-talent sword killing technique is no longer applicable, and you may need to have a deeper understanding and perception of this artistic conception of sadness and slaughter in order to break through the barrier and walk out of a new path. ”
Wei Tao wielded a giant scythe that was obviously more than twice its size, and the whole body exuded a cold light, and easily cut the leftover white bones in two, as if he was cutting tofu, easily and casually without any obstacles.
The next few days.
Sunrise and sunset, the full moon and the lack of moon.
He didn't sleep until he cared about anything, but he just practiced the double sickle in the woods.
It seems that he has returned to Cangyuan City, boxing over and over again in the Red Line Martial Arts Hall.
Even when I was thirsty, I would pour some water from the stream, and when I was hungry, I would kill a horned deer and fill my stomach with ethereal petals.
"Your Excellency."
"Steward?"
The frog came close and screamed cautiously.
"What's the matter?"
Wei Tao sat on the bluestone next to the stream and asked casually.
The old sandfly knelt down and said respectfully, "Lord Hui, the body of the poisonous beetle has been sorted out, and you can hold a funeral for it at any time." ”
"What is it, and deserves me to have a funeral for it?"
Wei Tao frowned slightly, looked up, and the surrounding environment instantly became cold and solemn.
Frightened, the stinging spirit shivered, and he could barely support it and collapsed to the ground.
"Oh, I remember."
Fortunately, after a while, Wei Tao suddenly reacted, "This place is shaded by green trees, and the clear stream is dingdong, which is a good place to sleep.
Now go back and get two packets of Ethereal Flowers, and bring them here with the poison beetle, so that I can give it one last ride. ”
He spoke slowly, his throat surging unconsciously.
When I think of that guy's thick body and tight flesh, I can't help but have a big appetite.
"Lord steward, the old slave has something, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
Butterflies received the order, but did not leave immediately as usual.
Instead, he knelt down by the stream and spoke carefully.
"What's the matter, you just say it."
Wei Tao rubbed the two giant scythes and burst open the dazzling sparks.
The frog took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
When he spoke again, he seemed to have mustered up great courage, "Back to my lord's words, the old slave counted the secret vault last night and found that the ethereal petals were only less than eighty catties left, which was ...... less than last year."
Wei Taohun didn't care, "It's normal to be less than last year, farming and watching the sky and eating, where is the truth that the wind and rain are smooth every year."
This year, there are thunderstorms, and there are poisonous beetles sneak attack, in addition to these losses, it is already good to have a harvest of 80 catties.
I think that the Spirit Butterfly Envoy will also understand our difficulties, and there will be no things that you have been worried about. ”
Speaking of this, his words suddenly changed, "Have you made the exquisite gift box set I asked you to prepare?" ”
He nodded again and again, "Okay, it's all done, the old slave is just on his body, and he can show you now." ”
Wei Tao took the two simple and elegant, and faintly luxurious solid wood boxes, opened them and looked at the ethereal petals carefully selected inside, as well as various precious specialties collected from the forest, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction on his face.
Three days later.
The morning sun is slightly dewy.
Along with the sunlight, there was a subtle buzzing sound, quietly heard from far and near.
All the sandflies stopped their work, quickly gathered on the flat ground in front of the ethereal flower garden, knelt down and waited quietly.
The buzz grew louder and closer.
Wei Tao returned from the stream, stood in front of a group of sandflies, and looked up at the sky.
He gathered his eyes, observed carefully, and sighed secretly after a moment, "Where are these two spirit butterfly messengers, they are clearly a fully loaded flying formation. ”
The spirit butterfly flew extremely fast, and soon came to the sky above the dense forest.
They hovered in the void at this moment, and then deftly passed through the obstacles and landed silently in the flowerbed.
The leading spirit butterflies walked towards Wei Tao, while the rest of the spirit butterflies were dressed in armor and held sharp blades, quickly occupying a favorable position and faintly surrounding all the sandflies.
Wei Tao quietly looked at the approaching Spirit Butterfly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It......
Or should I say it's her.
She wasn't the butterfly he had imagined.
Instead, she is more like a delicate and slender pretty girl, only with a pair of translucent wings on her back.
Compared to the other spirit butterflies guarding the surrounding area, she was almost completely out of the category of insect creatures.
Except for the slender tentacles on the top of her head and the transparent wings behind her, she looks no different from a human girl.
The spirit butterfly came in style, wearing only a gauze skirt on her body, revealing her slender and slender body.
She stopped a few steps away, raised her fair, delicate arm that was indistinguishable from a human, and gently pointed at Wei Tao, who was standing there.
The two looked at each other, their eyes touching in the void, and then they converged and separated.
Spirit Butterfly was silent for a moment, a puzzled expression on her soft human face.
"I remember that the surrounding gardens are all taken care of by the knife mantis, how do you feel that you look a little different, a little bigger than the average knife mantis?"
"Forget it, you hurry up and hand in the picked ethereal flowers, I still have a lot of things, I don't have time to delay here."
She speaks like a string plucking, with a crisp and touching taste.
Wei Tao looked at her slender body like an elf, sensed the faint spiritual intent surrounding her body, and turned around to signal Frog to open the secret vault and arrange all the packed ethereal flowers neatly.
The spirit butterfly took a few steps forward and was about to start counting, but a shadow appeared in front of him without warning.
The surrounding guards suddenly became nervous, and quickly drew their blades and surrounded them.
She had an indifferent expression, just quietly looked at Wei Tao who was suddenly approaching, and even showed a faint smile on her face.
"Interesting, as a sword mantis, you can have such a fast speed, which is a bit beyond my expectations."
"Huh? What you're holding in your hand looks very delicate. ”
Wei Tao took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "Lord Envoy, this is a little bit of heart specially prepared for you in the next place, I hope you can like it." ”
He quietly handed out the gift box.
But she didn't reach for it.
His fair face was full of confusion, as if he didn't understand what he was saying or what it meant.
Wei Tao waited silently for a moment, and also found that the development of things seemed to be a little strange, not at all what he imagined.
Originally, it shouldn't have been that he gave out a bribe without fireworks, and the other party tacitly accepted it quietly, and then everyone had a common little secret, and did the next thing with one eye closed?
But what's going on now?
Whether she wants it or not, she should reply first.
There was another unspeakable silence.
Lingdie finally spoke, "You, what do you mean by that?" ”
Wei Tao smiled, and his voice was lowered, "The envoy has worked hard, and a small gift is not a tribute, please let the envoy smile." ”
"Gifts, gifts for myself?"
Her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe her ears, "Everything here is the common property of the Spirit Butterfly Clan under the control of the Lord Mother, what do you want to do if you want to give me a gift alone now!?" ”
