Chapter 13: Soul Eater
On this day, Shi Yue lifted the gauze covering the altar, and six yellow bees the size of fingernails suddenly flew out of it and landed in Shi Yue's palm.
Shi Yue could feel the connection between the six Soul Eater Bees and himself, and as soon as his mind moved, the six Spirit Devouring Bees flew out of his palm.
The six Soul Devouring Bees all had faint aura fluctuations on their bodies, and they were undoubtedly spirit insects, and they could swallow spiritual qi on their own.
The scale worms have no attack ability, and Shi Yue is not worried that the scale worms can hurt the six soul eater bees.
"Go, get rid of all those scales," Shi Yue pointed at Lingtian, and the six Soul Devouring Bees flapped their wings and flew towards Lingtian.
It is impossible for six soul devouring bees to kill all the scale insects in the three acres of spirit field, but the time loss rate of the mysterious space is ten times that of the outside world, and the reproduction rate of the spirit devouring bees is also ten times that of the outside world.
Shi Yue walked in front of a condensed tobacco, and could see that a soul-eating bee landed on the root of this condensed tobacco, pulled out a transparent scale insect from the root of the condensed tobacco, divided it by two, and ate the scaleworm, and then the soul-eating bee flew towards another condensed tobacco.
Seeing this, Shi Yue nodded with satisfaction and withdrew from the mysterious space.
Walking out of the basement, after Shi Yue rained Shui Yuehua, he went back to his residence and gave rain to the spiritual rice in the spiritual field before leaving.
Shi Yue's life was very fulfilling, and whenever he had time, he entered the mysterious space to find scale insects to kill.
With Shi Yue's efforts, the number of scale insects is getting smaller and smaller, the growth of condensing tobacco and scorching sun grass is getting better and better, and the vacant acre of spiritual field is also planted with spiritual rice, in addition, he also planted five blood qi fruit trees and five violet apricot trees.
In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
Half a month has passed in the outside world, half a year has passed in the mysterious space, and the blood qi fruit tree and the violet apricot tree have grown to more than two zhang high, with lush branches and leaves.
The six Soul Eater Bees did not have any natural enemies in the mysterious space, and coupled with a large number of scale insects for them to eat, soon, the size of the six Soul Eater Bees was more than a circle, and they built a hive on a blood qi fruit tree, and the area of the hive continued to expand.
What made Wang Changsheng happiest was that the Soul Eater Bee began to lay eggs, and the six Soul Eater Bees became hundreds, and the number increased by nearly a hundred times.
Shi Yue didn't need to recognize these newly born Soul Eater Bees, he only needed to control the Queen Bee to control the other Soul Eater Bees.
Although the soul eater bee is a spirit insect, in addition to its long lifespan, it is not much different from ordinary bees in other places, and it is also divided into three types: queen bees, worker bees, and drones.
In addition to eating, the queen bee's main responsibility is to lay eggs and give birth to more offspring for the entire hive, while the drone is responsible for mating with the queen bee and reproducing offspring, the drone only mates with the queen once in his life, and dies soon after mating, the worker bee is a female bee that lacks reproductive ability, they are responsible for collecting food, feeding larvae, secreting and clearing the nest, building a hive, protecting the nest and attacking the enemy, etc., the number of worker bees in a bee colony determines the rise and fall of the bee colony.
Hundreds of soul eaters dance in the fields, collecting nectar or looking for scale insects to kill.
With the increase in the number of soul devouring bees, there were fewer and fewer scale insects in the spirit field, and they were almost extinct, which made Shi Yue very happy.
On this day, when Shi Yue came back from Shi Yu to his own Lingtian, he found that the young woman who had come to look for Uncle Zhou Hong last time appeared outside the courtyard, looking quite anxious.
"Disciple Shi Yue has seen Senior Uncle Murong. Shi Yue bowed respectfully.
The Taixu Sect has a strict hierarchy, and disciples in the Qi refining period must bow when they encounter monks above the foundation building stage.
"Well, hasn't Senior Brother Zhou come back yet?" Murong Xiaoxiao nodded and asked with a frown.
"Nope. Shi Yue shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Murong Xiaoxiao's expression was a little disappointed, she suddenly remembered something, looked at Shi Yue carefully, and asked, "What do you need to do besides helping Senior Brother Zhou take care of the cave mansion?"
"Rain on Lingtian?" Shi Yue replied truthfully.
"Shi Yu, so you know how to plant?" Murong Xiaoxiao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked with an expectant face.
"Understand a little bit!" Shi Yue said stiffly, with a bad premonition in his heart.
"Great, there is something wrong with the elixir I planted, you can help me take a look, if you can help me solve the problem, the reward is indispensable for you. Murong Xiaoxiao said with joy on her face.
Hearing this, the corners of Shi Yue's mouth twitched, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, he couldn't wait to slap himself twice, where did he know how to grow elixirs, there was a problem with the condensed tobacco and scorching sun grass he planted, and it was only after reading Uncle Zhou Hong's classics that he was able to solve it.
"What, you don't want to go, or do you not know how to plant at all, and you lied to me just now?" Murong Xiaoxiao saw this, his face suddenly sank, and he said in a cold voice.
Hearing this, Shi Yue couldn't cry or laugh, if he said that he didn't want to go, he would definitely offend this Uncle Murong, if he didn't know how to plant, he would deceive the elders, and the sin would be even greater.
"Of course not, it's just that the disciple doesn't have a lot of experience in cultivating elixir, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to cure Uncle Murong's elixir. Shi Yue thought about it for a moment and explained cautiously.
"It's good to be cured, I only know after reading it, since Senior Brother Zhou is relieved to hand over the cave mansion to you to take care of, it means that you still have some ability, don't shirk, come with me!" After speaking, Murong Xiaoxiao released the lotus magic weapon and jumped up.
Obviously, Uncle Zhou's reward was too small, and no one was willing to take it, so it was my turn. Hearing this, the corners of Shi Yue's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself in his heart.
After listening to Murong Xiaoxiao's words, Shi Yue was reluctant, so he could only release the leaf magic weapon and jump up.
It didn't take long for Shi Yue to follow Murong Xiaoxiao and came to a wide valley.
Outside the valley, there is a stone tablet that is a few feet high, and three silver characters of "Peach Blossom Valley" are engraved on it.
In the valley, there is a large white mist, and it is not clear what is going on inside, but the air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, and it seems that there are a lot of flowers and plants planted in it.
"Follow me, if you touch the ban, it's troublesome. Murong Xiaoxiao said to Shi Yue.
"The disciple understands. Shi Yue nodded.
Murong Xiaoxiao flipped his hand and took out a white square token, shook it lightly towards the valley, and a white light flew out of it and disappeared into the mist.
The mist tumbled and surged and disappeared, and a large piece of peach blossoms appeared in Shi Yue's eyes.
The peach blossom forest is very dense, at a glance, there is no end in sight, along the way, wherever Murong Xiaoxiao goes, the peach blossoms will automatically separate, make way for a passage, and after Shi Yue walks over, it will automatically move back to its original position, as if someone is manipulating.
Half an hour later, the two walked out of the peach blossom forest, and a gorgeously decorated courtyard appeared in front of them.
This courtyard covers a huge area, with pavilions and garden cloisters abounding.
Shi Yue was stunned for a moment, he took a deep breath, and was surprised to find that the aura of heaven and earth here was even richer than Uncle Zhou's residence.
This Uncle Murong successfully built the foundation at a young age, not to mention the gorgeous decoration of the cave mansion, and the area is also very large, so he should be a person with a background.
Thinking of this, Shi Yue's face showed a solemn look, this kind of noble-born person was not something he could offend.
Under the leadership of Murong Xiaoxiao, Shi Yue walked through the corridors, passed through three small courtyards, and walked across five circular arch bridges erected by white marble, and then came to the destination ---- a wide Lingtian.
According to Shi Yue's estimate, there are at least ten acres of spiritual land in front of him.
According to the division of the elixir type, the spiritual field is divided into three pieces, on the left is a large piece of cyan grass a foot high, shrouded by a huge transparent light curtain, in the middle is a large blue flower several inches long, covered by a huge blue light curtain, and on the right is a golden flower, most of the golden flowers have withered.
It seems that the problem is the golden flowers.
"Shi Shi nephew, since a month ago, the golden flower has withered inexplicably, you look at what is going on, cured, the reward is indispensable for you. Murong Xiaoxiao pointed to the golden flowers and slowly introduced.
Shi Yue nodded, raised his feet and walked towards the golden flower.
He came to a withered yellow golden flower, squatted down, and found that the surface of the golden flower had traces of insect gnawing.
Seven or eight black beetles the size of fingernails flew in front of Shi Yue unscrupulously, landed on a golden Luo flower, opened their mouths and tore it, and soon, one of the petals of the golden Luo flower was eaten by the black beetle.
Shi Yue walked around the spiritual field where the golden Luo flowers were planted, and found that many of the golden Luo flowers had traces of insect bites on them.
He returned to Murong Xiaoxiao's side, thought about it for a while, and asked, "Senior Uncle Murong, doesn't this Golden Luo Flower usually have formation protection?"
"That's not it, except for the rain, there is usually a formation protection. Murong Xiaoxiao shook her head and spoke.
"I've taken a closer look, there are traces of insects on the golden flowers, and there are a lot of black beetles in the spiritual field, it is estimated that these insects took the opportunity to fly in when you removed the formation to apply rain. Shi Yue analyzed.
"I also know that those black beetles are the devil, but do you have a solution? These black beetles are so small, some of them even burrow in the soil, I can't kill them all at all, Master Shi, do you have a solution?" Murong Xiaoxiao nodded and said with a frown.
"There is a spirit worm in the disciple's hand, maybe he can deal with these black beetles. Hearing this, Shi Yue hesitated slightly, and said hesitantly.
To be honest, whether the Spirit Devouring Bee could deal with these black beetles, Shi Yue didn't know in his heart.
"Oh, great, get your spirit worm out there and give it a try. When Murong Xiaoxiao heard this, her eyes lit up and she urged.
Shi Yue nodded, and his right hand reached into his arms, but at this moment, he thought of one thing, he didn't have a spirit beast bag, and the spirit devouring bee was usually placed in the mysterious space.
Now in front of Murong Xiaoxiao, he must not be able to enter the mysterious space, let alone take out the blue beads, otherwise the secret of the blue beads will be exposed, which is not what Shi Yue wants to see.
"What's the matter, don't tell me, you didn't have the spirit beast bag with you!" Seeing this, Murong Xiaoxiao frowned and said with some displeasure.
"Well, exactly, I stayed in Uncle Zhou's cave mansion. Shi Yue nodded and said with a little weakness.
