Chapter Seventy-Six: Worm Valley

Night fell again, and after the stars placed the ice blue beehive in the corner of the roof of the wooden house, with a wave of his hand, more than two hundred books appeared on the table in front of the window.

With the ascension of the realm, the stars have rarely seen books, and generally record information, or consult information, all of which are made of jade slips.

There are more than 200 books, many of which are finger-thick books, and it seems that some of them have been busy overnight. But Xingchen didn't plan to sit on the table and read.

He walked slowly to the bed, lay down directly, and then with a wave of his hand, a book called "The Book of Divine Words" flew out of the table, flew in front of the stars, and turned the page automatically.

In a short time, the stars of this "Divine Word Sutra" have been read, and it is almost of little help. Because the above is mainly the praise of the believers to the Phantom Star God.

After reading this book, it was directly put into the storage ring by Xingchen, and with a wave of his hand, another book appeared in front of Xingchen.

In this way, one book after another was quickly flipped through by Xingchen. At midnight, when Xiaoying had just left, a book called "Research Essays" appeared in front of the stars.

This book contains hundreds of creatures, all of which are still alive after the mutation of the cold night.

Due to the appearance of the cold night anomaly, these creatures have also undergone mutations, and have their own unique ways to survive the extreme cold of the night.

On it is recorded the beehive in the corner of the roof, and the name of the book is the Ice Spirit Hive. The Ice Spirit Hive seems to be able to maintain temperature, its internal structure is unknown, and the researchers don't have the ability to provoke the Ice Spirit Bee.

There is also one of the most common ways to survive, and many creatures that originally belonged to cold-blooded animals have evolved hibernation into suspended animation. Like some insects and snakes, when night falls, their bodies almost seem to be dead, and once the day comes, their vital signs will actively recover. For this kind of suspended animation, the researcher originally wanted to apply it to people, but after studying it for a while, he gave up, because of his faith, he would never use people to study.

Then there is parasitism, researchers have found that a kind of insect that can live by parasitism, looks like lice, parasitizes on other creatures, and depends on the host to survive.

There is also a kind of cocooning, some insects that are originally cocoons, and after repeated cocooning dozens of times, they will grow wings and become flying insects. This method is the most studied by the researchers, and in the end, the researchers say that they are going to go to the worm valley is an experiment, and if it is not successful, it is death.

After reading this, Xingchen plans to go to Worm Valley tomorrow to see if this so-called researcher has become an ice sculpture or something else.

After this book, Xingchen flipped through dozens of books, and finally found another useful book, or rather an atlas, with the title "Extreme Cold". The first page is a general map of the Arctic Lands, followed by a detailed map of the various places in the Arctic Lands.

The extremely cold land, centered on the temple, is extremely vast, and the nearest border is more than 100,000 miles away from the temple.

Among the detailed maps, Xingchen pays more attention to four of them, and these four are marked with an animal totem, which is the four kinds of jackals, tigers and leopards. The closest to the stars is the jackal totem, but it is also more than 30,000 miles, and the slowest speed in the innate realm, regardless of any obstacles, it takes half an hour to go back and forth. Of course, the speed of the stars is faster, and it doesn't take half an hour, but the stars still don't have the idea of going there immediately.

Tomorrow's goal is Worm Valley, and we'll talk about everything else later.

After Xingchen read a few more books, Xiaoying returned, still with five special crystals.

Seeing that less than half of the books on the table were left, Xingchen estimated that he couldn't finish reading the rest of the time, so he stopped reading and sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed.

The night passed, the day fell, and outside the safe house, a figure carrying a beehive and holding a little black dog flew into the sky, and after a short flight, the stars fell before a valley, which was the Valley of Worms.

First instructed Xiaoying to hide, and then used his mind to awaken the Ice Spirit Bee again, Xingchen took out a jade bottle and handed it over, and said, "Old rules. ”

So surrounded by three hundred ice spirit bees, Xingchen slowly walked into the Worm Valley.

Entering it, Xingchen found that the shape of the worm valley was like the mouth of a gourd, and if it couldn't fly, there was only an exit from the mouth of the gourd. As they walked, Xingchen found that there were fake death bugs on the side, they felt the presence of Xingchen, and their vital functions were recovering rapidly, and they rushed towards Xingchen when they were almost recovered.

However, with the Ice Spirit Bee there, Xingchen didn't care about these rushing insects at all, and continued to walk deeper into the Worm Valley.

This worm valley is also introduced in the atlas, where various insect groups live, and there are trillions of insects in it. Even after the extreme cold night, the number of bugs here is still considerable, and in just 100 meters, there are 10,000 bugs rushing over to commit suicide.

After walking thousands of meters, Xingchen stopped, and in front of him was an ice crystal tree thirty-three feet high, with three ice spirit beehives hanging from the canopy. Sensing that someone was approaching, more than a thousand ice spirit bees had already flown out and stayed not far from the stars.

These thousand Ice Spirit Bees are using their unique means to transmit messages with the Ice Spirit Bees surrounding the stars.

In less than ten breaths, the two ice spirit bees suddenly became irritable. Xingchen realized that something was wrong, and immediately summoned the Star Sword, and the phantom sound intention radiated, and although the more than 1,300 ice spirit bees in front of him had the same appearance, he could still distinguish their racial aura.

Just as Xingchen summoned the Starlight Sword, the two ice spirit bees were already entangled. Three hundred ice spirit bees flew out of the hive behind the stars, and although one hundred of them were also ice blue, their golden lines spread all over their bodies, and their flight speed was far faster than that of ordinary ice spirit bees.

The description of the ice spirit bee in the "Research Essays" of Xingchen does not have this, is it because of the special crystal.

For the golden-veined Ice Spirit Bee, Xingchen paid a little attention and joined the battle. The last time he fought with the Ice Spirit Bee on his back, it was because Xingchen was curious about the creatures that could still survive, and he didn't use his sword intent spiritual power. Without sword intent spiritual power, coupled with the disappearance of the bloodline phantom, Xingchen was only an innate realm cultivator with equal strength and speed, and excellent swordsmanship, so he was tied with the Ice Spirit Bee at that time.

Since reading that essay, Xingchen has lost his curiosity about the creatures that survive in this extremely cold land.

And now the two ice spirit bees are fighting, it must be because of themselves.

Xingchen's figure flickered, and the sword intent spiritual power was attached to the Xingyao Sword, and with each sword, a hostile ice spirit bee was killed.

Under the continuous fighting, almost all of the hostile Ice Spirit Bees were killed and wounded. And the dead and wounded on Xingchen's side were less than a hundred, and the battle was over.

The Ice Spirit Bee on Xingchen's side did not stop because the battle was over, and directly destroyed the Ice Spirit Hive on the Ice Crystal Tree, and killed the larvae in the three hives and a fat golden Ice Spirit Bee each, and brought them back to the Ice Spirit Hive on Xingchen's back.

After crossing the ice crystal tree and walking for more than 300 meters, various cocoons appeared around the stars, large and small, mostly white, a few bright red, or black.

As soon as he arrived, some of the cocoons began to stir. The insects hiding inside bit open a hole, looked up, retracted again, and sealed the hole again.

Not a single bug attacked the stars along the way. So those ice spirit bees flew back to the hive to recuperate.

As he was walking, Xingchen saw a young man in a white coat, who was holding a pen to record something?

After the man finished recording, he looked up and saw the stars, and hurriedly ran over in surprise, shouting as he ran: "There are still people alive, thanks to the Phantom Star God, I am about to suffocate to death alone." "When I ran to the stars, I wanted to hold them, but I didn't get them.

Xingchen, who appeared on the side, said, "We don't know each other, so there's no need to hug." ”

The young man apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'm too excited. I haven't seen anyone else alive for three years. ”

Xingchen smiled, "It's okay, you didn't get it anyway." By the way, what are you doing?"

The young man scratched his head, "I didn't do anything, I just recorded something and perfected my own research." ”

Hearing the word research, Xingchen took out the "Research Essay" and asked, "You wrote this?"

The young man nodded, "Well, yes, I came here after I finished writing. Although it was a fluke, the experiment was not perfect, and there was a slight flaw. ”

Xingchen casually handed out the "Research Essay" and said, "Since it's your thing, I'll give it back to you." I'm curious, your cultivation is not enough to be innate, what kind of experiments have made you spend night after night. ”

The young man smiled, "This is my greatest achievement, come with me." Casually taking the "Research Notes", the young man led the stars to the innermost part of the valley.

After walking for a long time, they came to a cave, and the young man walked in first.

Xingchen followed, first paused, then flicked his sleeves, and walked in.

Entering it, Xingchen found that the walls of the cave were covered with a layer of white silk, a foot thick, and in the middle of the cave sat a one-man tall statue, which was the appearance of the Phantom Star God.

At this time, the young man pointed to the wall and said, "My experiment is this white silk, and it is it that allows me to survive the night." Then he pointed to the notebook in his left hand, "You can take a look at it yourself, and I'll file and record it." With that, he went to the inside of the cave.

Xingchen had no choice but to look at it for himself, he first looked at the white silk on the wall at random, and then walked to the bookshelf on the side, rummaged through some books to check, and found that they were all some research notes.

As he was rummaging, Xingchen saw a diary, the handwriting on it was different from the previous research notes. Xingchen had seen it, too, the letter he had seen since he came into this world. Now the journal reads: "Since leaving the safe house, I went straight to the temple and found that it was already occupied by some poisonous insects, but I knew some insect repellent skills and entered the temple safely. Inside the temple I found a brand new essay and opened it. After reading it, hope rose in my heart that the researcher was still alive. So I went to the basement of the temple to get a set of insect repellent equipment, and when I came out, I accidentally knocked over a jar, and I didn't have time to look at the strange black bugs scattered on the ground, they were all dead anyway. With hope, I came to the Worm Valley, and relying on the insect prevention equipment, I came to the depths of the Worm Valley. As a result, it was a miracle that he met another living person, and he survived without the help of the Phantom Star God. At his invitation, I came to this cave. Under his influence, I also started to keep a diary, and today is the first day. ”

Behind the diary, there are more than a dozen articles in a row, all of which are trivial in life. The last one was written on the 30th, and then there was a blank.

The man who built the safe house also came, and was also attracted by an essay. Xingchen realized that something was wrong, put down the diary, and then flipped through more than a dozen research notes in a row, and found that the time recorded was never the day of the New Year, that is, the first day of each month.

And the diary of the man who built the safe house is also up to the thirtieth.

The young man had a problem, and as soon as Xingchen thought of this, a strong wind hit behind him. So immediately dodge to the side. Only then did he see that it was a bug monster that attacked him, with a centipede body, spider legs, scorpion tail, bee eyes, a bull's mouth, mantis claws, and butterfly wings.

Xingchen was not surprised by this appearance, but instead smiled, "You have finally revealed your true colors." ”

The insect monster looked up to the sky and laughed, and then said, "It's not a good behavior to rummage through other people's houses, and if you're not careful, you'll die." ”

Xingchen smiled, "Send your life, I see you originally wanted my life." If I do go to someone else's house, I won't rummage around. And you yourself let me see it casually, if I hadn't seen this, I'm afraid, I would have died inexplicably on the day of the New Moon like the people before me. ”

When the bug monster heard Xingchen's words, he was a little angry and walked forward, "You will die now." Then he rushed to the stars.

Xingchen beckoned directly, and at the entrance of the cave, the Xingyao Sword that he hid in his sleeve and turned into a flying sword flashed out. Almost instantly, all of the monster's spider legs were removed, and it fell to the ground helplessly, tumbling against the wall. When the insect monster looked at the stars again, he found that a flying sword was pointed directly at his eyebrows, and he didn't dare to move again.

At this time, Xingchen sighed: "Killing you can be regarded as avenging him." He was referring to the man who built the safe house, and the star lived in the safe house, and that person was also considered to be kind to the star.

The bug monster hurriedly begged for mercy, "Let me go, I'm here to live." ”

Xingchen shook his head, "If you live, there will only be more people because you can't live." Say something useful, and I'll let you live a little longer. ”

The insect monster was stunned for a moment before saying, "Treat people and never say anything, whatever." Because there are always honest people, people can't talk about their suffering. ”

Hearing this, Xingchen smiled and turned to leave. With a wave of his hand, he moved the statue of the Phantom Star God outside the cave. After he came out, the cave collapsed, and a flying sword flew out and disappeared.

Outside the cave, Xingchen looked at the idol, took it in one hand, and flew back to the safe house, before it was dark. After setting up the hive, he looked at a clearing near the safe house.

Half an hour later, there was an additional grave in the clearing, on which was written "Tomb of the Builders of Safe Houses". In this tomb is buried a skeleton that had been hidden by the young man in the statue. After doing all this, Xingchen walked to the other side and practiced his swordsmanship.

The safehouse builders left the hut to escape the loneliness, and the research youth used the "Research Essay" to seduce people in order to survive. And he appeared here to defeat the Saint Gate nation team in this Forest of Dreams. On the one hand, it is for the Nine Heavens Alliance, and on the other hand, it is for the sake of getting good rewards, enhancing one's strength, and having the ability to avenge one's parents in the future.

It is now the third stage, and although there is no shadow of the Holy Gate Country team yet, Xingchen is not in a hurry. As time went on, as night fell, he took refuge in the safe house, and suddenly noticed something unusual about the hive, with a cold, cold glow on it.

Nearly twenty ice spirit bees flew out, bringing the hive out and hanging it in the air. At this time, the extreme cold had slowly descended, but the ice spirit bee with the hive in its mouth was not frozen to death.

In the blue light emitted from the hive, a trace of golden light flashed, and quickly drew energy from the air. At the same time, streaks of blue spread across the hive.

At this time, it was just night, and Xingchen could still stay outside for a long time, so he walked out of the safe house, and Xiaoying followed behind, trotting around.

Walking out of the safe house, a biting chill appeared, but when he approached the hive, the cold around Xingchen was no longer biting, just ordinary cold. Streams of dark blue energy flew out of his body and were absorbed by the hive.

Could it be that this Ice Spirit Hive had changed after devouring the other three Hives? Just as he wondered, the speed at which the blue streaks spread slowed.

An ice spirit bee flew out and fluttered eagerly around the stars.

Xingchen took out a jade bottle, and the ice spirit bee stopped. Knowing that the Ice Spirit Bee needed this thing, Xingchen handed it out directly, and did not ask for anything this time.

In the end, the change of the Ice Spirit Hive lasted for half an hour, and Xingchen also paid three special crystals.

Not only did the Ice Spirit Hive appear with golden stripes, but it also had a pair of wings. More importantly, the stars didn't feel a biting chill near this hive.

After the evolution of this ice spirit hive, it already has the ability to restrain the extreme cold.

Xingchen did not sign a contract with the hive, and Xingchen thought that the Ice Spirit Hive would fly away directly, but the Ice Spirit Hive did not leave, but took the initiative to fly into the safe house and hang it in the corner of the roof.

After Xingchen entered, a child's voice appeared in Xingchen's mind, "Ice Spirit will follow the big brother later." "It's the transmission of ideas.

Xingchen smiled, "Bing Ling, if you are willing to follow me, I will not treat you badly, if you evolve again, what do you need?"

A voice came, "A thousand." ”

A thousand, Xingchen almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, came to the bed and lay down, and said, "I can't afford to raise it, so you can leave if you want to." After speaking, with a wave of his hand, a book flew in, turning the page automatically.

The child's voice came again, "Huh, stingy. Then there was no more sound.

Xingchen couldn't hear himself and continued to read. This is called the ice spirit's hive is willing to follow, the stars welcome it, if he is unwilling, he will not stop it.

In the middle of the night, Xiaoying went out again to find special crystals, and when he came back, he harvested seven special crystals in a row. After the stars were put away, the child's voice came again, "Big brother, have mercy on me, give me three." ”

Xingchen deliberately said: "I'm a stingy ghost, don't say three, even one, it's also asking for my stingy ghost's life." ”

The hive was silent for a while before saying, "Big brother, I can let you move outside, how about a labor fee for one night?"

Xingchen said again: "I'm a stingy ghost, very suspicious, I can't believe you like this." Unless..."

The hive immediately nervously transmitted, "Unless what?"
