Chapter 140: Hands-on
Although silverfish are not uncommon in the cultivation world, they have only been encountered by very few monks. One of the reasons lies in the particularity of the environment in which it lives.
There is a saying in the spirit animal chronicles, the silverfish is afraid of cold and light, greedy but does not have such organs as stomach and intestines, and has a big mouth with sharp teeth and sharp mouth in vain, but it is useless.
Because of its fear of cold and light, silverfish often live underground for a long time, near underground heat sources such as volcanoes.
Such places are usually extremely hot, and it is difficult for low-ranking monks to come to such places to practice.
In addition, the silverfish has no value except for its fangs, which is quite good refining materials, and high-level cultivators rarely specifically look for this kind of demon insects, unless they really need this kind of refining tool.
And because it is greedy but unable to digest and absorb, and does not even have the ability to swallow, the silverfish has developed a mouthful of "iron teeth and copper teeth", which can directly absorb and devour the blood, aura and even soul essence in anything in the heavens and earth.
This is also the second reason why very few monks have seen it, because everyone who has seen it, except for its own cultivation is really powerful, the rest have basically been sucked away by this silverfish.
In the eyes of ordinary monks, silverfish are a kind of demon insects that are useless but very dangerous, and require too much effort to find and catch, and among the many rare demon beasts and spiritual objects in the cultivation world, they really can't arouse their interest.
Therefore, in the common demon beast spirit beast chronicles in the Wa spirit world, there are only a few descriptions of this silverfish, unlike the spirit beast scripture handed down by Yu Late Shimen, which details the taste of the silverfish flesh and the taste and appreciation of various parts of its body.
It stands to reason that the yin qi of the underworld is prevalent, and there is an eerie and cold aura everywhere, and Yu Wan can't figure out how this silverfish survives here.
But since she has encountered it, she naturally will not waste this opportunity in vain.
Yu Wan licked her lips, her right hand clenched the Purple Blade Ten Thousand Blades, and her eyes stared firmly at the silverfish that was constantly biting at the formation enchantment.
Although the turmeric crust on the surface of the beetle is hard and difficult to break with a sword, the side close to the ground is extremely soft, and the flesh is extremely tender and fat.
And although the breath it leaked out was strong, it was only in the late stage of foundation building, and it had not even reached the Great Perfection.
Killing the demon beast that was only a small realm higher than himself, Yu Wan was still quite confident in himself.
However, she still can't underestimate its ability to devour, even the formless and substantial divine consciousness can swallow, which makes her still feel nauseous and dizzy.
The discomfort in his body came again, and Yu Wan knew that this was because the power of the elixir had weakened, so he swallowed it again, trying to relieve the dizziness and nausea as much as possible.
However, at this moment, another one woke up on the opposite side of the silverfish that was still gnawing, and as soon as it woke up, it went straight to the place that attracted it the most.
Airplanes!
The magic circle was overwhelmed and hummed, and in the evening, the array put a lot of high-grade spirit stones on a small hill, and it returned to its normal state.
The formation enchantment light shield returned to its thickness when it was full of spiritual power, and it very steadily blocked the two silverfish outside.
"Hmph, haha, you guys will separate for a while to help me get the attention of that silverfish, be careful not to be bitten by it."
"Hmph, hmph."
"Haha, ha."
As soon as the order was given, Yu Wan heard their extremely excited reply, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the two little ones had separated, turning into two figures, one red and one black, and ran towards the silverfish that had just woken up and tasted the enchantment.
Because of Yu Wan's reminder, the two little pigs knew that the two slender tentacles on the demon insect's big mouth were used to sense the fluctuations of spiritual power in the environment, so it was inevitable that they were discovered, and neither of them used spiritual power.
However, with the scuds with Limbo's gossip footwork, their light body did not alarm the silverfish, and at the same time, their speed was not inferior to the scuds with the blessing of spiritual power in the past.
There are no organs such as stomach and intestines, and the silverfish does not have internal organs or throats, so even if it is kicked by a hoof by surprise and its body rushes into the hard obsidian gravel ground, the silverfish does not let out any screams.
"Huh."
As soon as the pitch-black haha landed, his body staggered, and a gap appeared in the front hoof where he kicked the corner of the beetle's mouth.
Taking advantage of Humm's running towards another silverfish, Yu Wan quickly flew in a flash, and the next moment he appeared directly under the first awakened silverfish, and slashed out at its chin with a knife.
The silverfish was about to bite down again at this moment, but it was caught off guard by Yu Wan's blow, and it was too late to resist, and its body was directly cut into two sections, and it fell to the gravel ground with a bang.
The yellow shell on the back of the silverfish is hard, and there is a fascia connected between the shell flesh, although the knife is fast and powerful, it still does not completely cut off the fascia and cut off the yellow shell.
She glanced at the silverfish that was basically separated from her head and body, and put it into the storage bracelet on her right wrist that was specially used to hold various ingredients, and when she turned around, she saw that the silverfish was kicked to the ground and rolled to the ground, and Haha was injured as a result.
However, Xu is injury is not serious, haha staggered for a while, and then stabilized his body, staring at the humming to deal with the silverfish, and his mouth hahahaha.
Yu Wan raised his eyes and saw that Hum had already run to the edge of the enchantment at this moment, and opened his mouth to spit out a cloud of empty flames at the stunned silverfish.
The colorless air flame flew swiftly towards the tentacles of the beetle's head, but the next moment there was no trace of burns from the silverfish.
Seeing this, Hum immediately highlighted a colorless flame, but it still didn't stir up a trace of movement.
At this moment, Yu Wan dodged over and eliminated the silverfish that had already devoured the entire empty flame with a single sword.
It was this knife that made her realize why she hadn't completely cut off the silverfish just now.
In the life and death experience again and again, Yu Wan's sword intent has been melted at will, and the knife posture is not as passive as before, and he has mastered more of the subtleties.
However, even so, he didn't even cut the hard shell with a single sword.
Yu Wan originally thought that the hardness of the beetle's shell had reached the extreme, but when she looked at the knife, she realized that part of the knife intent had been swallowed by the silverfish.
No, it's not so much the sword intent, but the seemingly formless but still qualitative spiritual power blade that has been swallowed.
Yu Wan knew in her heart that before she really understood the knife momentum, her knife skills would never be able to get rid of the form.
But she's not in a hurry, one day, she'll be able to send out a knife space as she wants. At that time, even a silverfish, don't think about swallowing her attack easily.
At first, he was shocked by the silverfish's devouring spiritual power blade, but in an instant, the spirit platform became clear, knowing his current realm and future growth space.
At this moment, her Dao heart was a little more condensed than before, and her cultivation realm became more and more stable.
However, at this time, she was only sober, and the "pillars" around her burst out one after another, exuding the aura of either the late stage of foundation building, or the great consummation of foundation building, or even the peak, and pounced on the place where Yu Wan and Hum Ha were with their big mouths open.
