Chapter 45: Memories of the Past (4)
The galaxy of gems meanders and flows, but when the starlight rolls down, the beauty suddenly becomes murderous.
Osmanthus was attracted by the starlight, but Longan gave full play to his nature of being afraid of insects, and saw the true face of the stars at a glance, they were all living insects.
These many insects had just gathered on the roof of the cave in groups, there were as many as a thousand, and they were disturbed and flapped their wings together, and in an instant it was as if the sky was rippling and the stars were rippling, like a dream, and it was intoxicating.
When you get a little closer, you can see that each of these insects is the size of a thumb, the head and claws are eerily bright orange and turquoise, and the belly occupies nearly two-thirds of the body, which is crystal clear like a jewel.
Osmanthus is frightened, these insects are very bewitching, but I am afraid that they are definitely not good things. She pushed her sister back to Fangcai's cave, then took off her coat and guarded the entrance of the cave and swung it again and again, preventing the insects from getting close. Under the infusion of osmanthus aura, an ordinary dress is as hard as steel, but the gem insect is also extremely hard with a copper body and iron bones, and when she hits it, it only falls to the ground and is dizzy for a moment, and then it flies up again.
At first, the swarm had no goal, only a small number of people flew close to the osmanthus unintentionally, but with the slapping of the osmanthus, they seemed to realize that there was an enemy here, and quickly began to gather.
Osmanthus had a bad heart, and suddenly remembered the origin of this insect, and said in a trembling voice: "This is an ancient xenomorph starlight insect, which specializes in feeding on spiritual energy, as long as the number is enough, a large group of starlight insects can suck all the Jindan monks dry." ”
At this time, Gui Yuan didn't know where he came from, so he tore off the talisman jade pendant on his waist without thinking about it, injected spiritual energy and forcibly urged the jade pendant, and threw it far into the insect hole, and sure enough, a small half of the starlight insect was immediately attracted to the other side. She gritted her teeth again, took out the three pills of the pill from the medicine bag, and threw them all out with a shake of her hand.
In fact, the aura in the three large pills may not be as good as that jade pendant, and the value is far from the same. However, the elixir is different from the spiritual weapon, it is refined to be easy to absorb, and the spiritual energy on it is full and overflowing, and it is like a Manchu and Han full banquet with all the color and fragrance to the starlight insects. In contrast, the jade pendant is a large bottle of nutritional mixture, although it can also meet the needs of the body, but it makes people have no appetite, and naturally has little attraction to insects.
As soon as the three pills were thrown out, there was a loud buzz in the air, and the starlight insects were in a commotion, and in an instant, the soldiers divided into three ways to cover the pills tightly, and from a distance, it looked like three piles of small colored bulbs flickering on and off.
Osmanthus took the opportunity to quickly burrow back to the cave where Guiyuan was, then ripped off the jade pendant and stuffed it into her sister's medicine pouch, turned around and covered the hole with her clothes.
Gui Yuan was stunned for a moment, only to realize that in order to preserve the medicinal properties of the pill for a long time, the medicine bag can store the aura without leaking out. She took three steps and made two steps, and hurriedly ran to Wang Dazhi and Zhang Meng, who were unconscious, and took out the talisman jade pendant in their hands and threw it into the medicine bag to hide it.
How much aura can there be in three pills, thousands of starlight insects gathered over, but after a while, they were all eaten. Satisfied, the worm flew back to the top of the cave, and the light on its belly became more and more dazzling. The remaining starlight insects flew aimlessly after the jade pendant was also sucked into the air, crashing into the mountain wall from time to time and crackling.
Osmanthus and Gui Yuan stood at the entrance of the cave quietly and tremblingly, without the support of aura, Osmanthus was just a show, and it was broken by the starlight insect with a light touch. Occasionally, a few headless and brainless bumped into it, and Osmanthus knocked it out with all the strength of her body. It's just that they lack sharp weapons, and they can't kill these insects at all, so they can only throw them back into the wormhole.
Hearing the sound of snapping and flapping wings getting weaker and weaker, until it was silent again, Osmanthus quietly put down the clothes with many small holes, and looked into it from the entrance of the hole, only to see that the sky was still a galaxy turning bright and uncertain, and the light was a little better than the other, who would have thought that there would be a lot of killing under such a beautiful scenery.
The worm mouth escaped, Guiyuan's fright was not trivial, she was stunned for a while, and ran over and stepped on Wang Dazhi with hatred, the senior brother is really a crow's mouth, this is really a wormhole!
Osmanthus also had sore hands and feet, shook the torn clothes and put them back on her body, and then sat down slowly, not having the strength to pay attention to her sister's nonsense. At this time, Gui Yuan jumped back by himself, and suddenly hugged Osmanthus and put his face on her sideburns. Osmanthus was startled and instinctively wanted to struggle, but felt that her sister's whole body was still trembling slightly, so she withdrew her hand and grabbed her small body and gently patted her back. I heard Gui Yuan whispering in her ear: "No matter what you remember or what you forget, you are my little flower." ”
Osmanthus had a sour nose, hugged her tightly, and said in a muffled voice after half a sound: "If you want to call my sister, don't call me Xiaohua." ”
Gui Yuan turned her head from her arms and smiled, then rubbed her head on the collar of Osmanthus again.
Osmanthus smiled bitterly: "This dress was crawled by many insects just now, aren't you afraid?"
This sentence is more than anything else, Gui Yuan suddenly jumped up like a spring, rubbed his face with his sleeve and rubbed his face hard, and then sat down half a foot away from her in an orderly manner. She glanced at the starry sky across the wall with a palpitating feeling and asked, "I've never heard of the Starlight Worm, is this something you remember?"
Osmanthus nodded, "Starlight insects are ancient xenos, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth for food, and some golden immortals like to raise them specifically to decorate the cave, as long as you pay attention to controlling the number of insect swarms." After the great change in heaven and earth, the aura mutated, and these starlight insects had no food source, so they should have been extinct a long time ago, I don't know why there are still so many people here. ”
"Do you remember how to deal with these bugs?"
"There are too many of them, if there are less than a hundred insect swarms, the monks at the peak of the foundation can deal with it. ”
"There are no ones in the foundation building period, but those in the qi training period can barely make up three, and the two comatose ones can be counted as one together, right?"
"I don't know about those two, but I've never seen a Qi cultivation cultivator who is so afraid of insects like you, no matter how you look at it, it can only be regarded as half a small combat power. ”
Osmanthus looked at her sister funny, thought about it for a while, and suddenly said, "In fact, in ancient times, the number of starlight insects has not been much, they are not only good-looking, they are often caught, and the body is rich in spiritual energy, which is the favorite ration of many spirit birds." ”
Gui Yuan looked disgusted, "The aesthetics of the ancients are really tsk, isn't it just a worm that glows in the stomach?
Osmanthus grabbed her hand excitedly, "You drew the wrong point, what I want to say is that your cultivation has a solution! Starry Sky Worms are full of spiritual energy, and they can be directly absorbed if they eat it, they are simply flying Great Supplement Pills." With such a large group, it is estimated that it will be no problem for you to build the foundation!"
Gui Yuan's mouth was half open, and she couldn't speak for a while, only to feel that her hair was slowly standing up one by one, and goosebumps appeared one after another all over her body, and they fell to the ground with her festival. She said indignantly: "Eat insects than die!"
Looking at her cowardice, Osmanthus couldn't help but laugh, "Our Taoism is very small, these starry sky insects are very difficult to deal with, and it is not certain who eats whom." ”
When facing the insects, Guiyuan's brain always turns very fast, "You just said that the starry sky worm needs to suck aura, so it has long been extinct?"
Osmanthus nodded, who would have thought that there was such a large group hidden in this cave, but it seems that these insects are thin and weak, and the light is much dimmer than what she remembers, and I am afraid that it will not last long.
"That means that unless these insects have evolved spirit bones like the Terran monks, there must be heaven and earth spiritual qi to support them here?" Gui Yuan's eyes sparkled, "Wouldn't it be good for me to absorb these spiritual qi directly, why do I have to fight to the death with the insects?"
Osmanthus Huo Ran stood up, turned around a few times in place, and said excitedly, "I know!
Gui Yuan was startled, not knowing what she was crazy about. Fortunately, the starlight insect seems to have a habit of maintaining health after meals and has not been disturbed.
Osmanthus had doubts in her heart, and she was quite excited, and she was ready to drill back into the cave where the starlight insect lived, "I have to go in and verify it to find out." ”
Gui Yuan was shocked, grabbed her, and said hurriedly: "Are you crazy?
"Don't worry, I have restrained my breath, there is no aura disturbance on my body, and the Starlight Worm will not pay attention to me. She hesitated for a moment, "I can feel that there should be a few things containing aura under that wormhole, and I have to find a way to isolate them so that I can bring them out." I'm afraid that the medicine bag is too small to fit, do you have any similar space containers on you?"
After speaking, Osmanthus herself also felt that it was difficult to be strong. Guiyuan's medicine bag was borrowed by Hu Wenshu in friendship, and she jokingly called it that she only had the right to use but no property rights. And the storage bags are rare and rare, and a little disciple like them can't even touch them at all. Osmanthus thought about it and couldn't do anything, her face turned gloomy, and she knew that she would have to return in vain tonight.
Unexpectedly, Gui Yuan really took out a thing, held it in his hand and asked his sister, "I only have this, can you see if it can be used?"
Osmanthus was overjoyed, she forgot that Hu Wenshu had also sent an alchemy furnace to Guiyuan. This kind of spiritual artifact Dan furnace can usually be shrunk into a palm-sized Dan sac and placed in a Dan sac, which is very popular with monks who have just become official Dan masters, who often do not have their own fixed Dan room, so they need a Dan furnace that is easy to carry around. As an alchemy furnace, isolating aura is the most basic function, which is suitable for osmanthus at this time.
The two sisters were all on the cave on the side of the starlight insect, and no one noticed that among the two people lying on the ground at this time, Zhang Meng had quietly opened his eyes, and there was still a trace of strange light in his eyes.
