Chapter 37 Protecting the Family's Possessions
On the third day, Lu Mingchao stopped continuing to inject poison into the hive.
A foundation building monk poured water poison into the insect nest for three days, and she believed that there should be no ordinary iron red worms alive in it.
The Iron Red Worm was originally a fire-attribute demon beast, and the clouds and mist that carried the aura of the water movement were already having a restraining effect on it, not to mention that the mist was also infiltrated with the corrosive toxin of the Cloud Gathering Gu Cup.
In fact, after eight hours of poisoning, there are no more bugs running out, and it is only prudent to continue to inject poison inside.
However, I didn't see the mother die of the worm, which is always a hidden danger.
When she set off beforehand, the eldest brother and the seventh brother all explained to her, saying that they must ensure that they are cleaned up.
This is the father's request.
So, she commanded the monks of the family and began to expand the entrance to the cave.
They were going to find the mother, alive or dead.
The earthy monk she had brought with her was starting to do its job.
His strength is not strong, so he has the appearance of cultivating seven or eight layers of qi, and apart from him, even Lu Mingchao, a foundation-building monk, does not use the earth practice method, so it is difficult to help too much.
However, they have a lot of time, and there is not much threat around, although there are occasional monsters in the wild, but this is not a remote place after all, but in the territory of Feiyun Prefecture, there is no big problem.
As the family monk continued to excavate, the cave continued to expand.
The space inside the wormhole is much larger than the outside, and with the excavation, Lu Mingchao has to find a way to retrieve the toxins that were poured in before, so the whole process is not very fast.
It took them seven days to finally find the mother worm in the cave.
The mother worm of the iron red worm is a creature whose strength has reached the second order, but it is not born for fighting, it is more functional, or in the fertility swarm, the combat power of the body is very weak, and it is inconvenient.
When the mother worm was found, it was in the depths of the cave. Looking at the insect mother's appearance, it seems that after sensing a deadly threat, she tries to move her body and leave the nest. It is also accompanied by a large number of iron red worms, acting as guards.
It's a pity that they didn't escape, and when they were halfway there, the guards were already poisoned, and the mother worm couldn't hold on, and lost her mobility halfway.
But after the examination, Lu Mingchao found that although the insect mother was now motionless, and her body functions were badly corroded by the poisonous mist, there was still a weak spiritual reaction in her body.
This means that the mother worm is not dead.
After all, it is a second-order demon beast, and the strength of its body is still enough, and it is simply corroded by poisonous mist, and it cannot be completely killed in a few days.
Lu Mingling next to him also discovered this, and he hurriedly raised the magic sword in his hand, intending to summon thunder and lightning to kill the insect mother who was already on the verge of death.
But he was stopped by Lu Mingchao.
"Auntie?"
Lu Mingchao is indeed his aunt and grandmother.
"If I'm not mistaken, the iron red worm is an insect monster beast, and it needs two kinds of food, one is fresh flesh and blood, and the other is the habit of eating iron. They have a strong fire poison in their bodies, and they need to eat iron and soak the fire poison into the iron to remove the excess fire poison from their bodies. And these discharged iron can actually be regarded as a precious forging material. ”
"So you mean we're going to bring this mother worm back?"
"Hmm. Lu Mingchao nodded and said, "If we can save this insect mother and control it, cultivate a new iron red insect swarm, and raise it, the family will have an additional resource income." ”
Lu Mingling nodded clearly, and then frowned again: "But ...... This worm mother has been so badly injured, we have to bring it all the way back, and I wonder if it will be alive when we return to the mountain?"
"Do your best. ”
With that, she released a rope that bound the yin and separated from the water, and based on the magic of the water capture spell, she urged the rope-like magic weapon to tie up the immobile and unconscious insect mother and take it away.
Five years ago, she had used a water capture spell to get the horse king of the water spirit horse herd all the way back to Yuyan Mountain. That time, she almost exhausted all her spiritual power, and it took a month of recuperation to recover.
And this time, the task will be even more daunting.
From here to the Jade Smoky Mountain, there can be a distance of thousands of miles, with the ability of the foundation monks, without burden, it also needs to fly for a day and a night. Lu Mingchao didn't have a good flying sword yet, and she couldn't reach this speed with a first-order magic sword.
If she had to drag the worm mother and take four Qi cultivators with her, she could only walk back. Even if you are a monk, it will take several days to return home.
However, she is no longer what she used to be. The improvement of the spiritual root has enhanced her strength, breaking through to the fifth layer of the foundation, so that the spiritual power she can control has also increased a lot, and the second-order magic weapon of the Yin Separation Water Rope, as a tool, can also greatly reduce the consumption of her water capture spell.
Under multiple factors, she finally succeeded in dragging the worm mother back, although she was still tired enough, but it was not as miserable as dragging the horse king back then, and she should be able to recover after a few days of normal rest, and it will not affect her cultivation.
The insect mother who was dragged back to the family attracted a lot of people.
Second-order demon beasts are not common, this is a very rare opportunity to come and see for a long time, and many people will not miss it.
The mother insect is very large, and if nothing else, this creature will usually stay in its nest for the rest of its life. In very special cases, if the nest needs to be migrated, there are other insects that open the way to expand the hole and assist the mother to move and transfer. In order to give birth to a larger swarm, the mother itself must not be small, so that it can give birth to a sufficient number of eggs in one go.
This insect mother is the size of a cow and has a strange appearance.
There were quite a few family members who came to observe, and among them, there were many mortals who had not yet embarked on the path of cultivation, and they also came to see the excitement.
The two little guys, Wenen and Weiwen, are also mixed in.
"Brother Wenen, this thing is so scary. "Wei Wen, who is two years younger than Lu Wenen, has not yet entered the Qi refining period.
The family considered the future and hoped that the two children with the best literary talents would have more contact and establish a good relationship when they were young and pure-minded, so they deliberately arranged the two children in close proximity.
After a month of getting along, practicing together, and occasionally playing together when they are relaxed, the two have become familiar with each other.
Hearing his sister's words, Lu Wenen patted her little head comfortingly, and then said with some pride: "This is caught by my grandmother herself, I heard my grandmother say that this big insect will be our family's in the future!"
"Is it our family's?" asked Vivian, tilting her head, "Shall we protect it?"
"Yes. Lu Wenen said, "We want to protect all the family ownership." ”
