Chapter 56: Spirit Stone Mine

There are more than 10,000 insects, although each insect only provides one or two points of proficiency, but it is enough for Liu Mang to raise the beast control technique by two levels, so that the success rate of this spell has increased by another four percent, but unfortunately no new special effects have appeared.

"Fortunately, the direction of these insects deviated from the trade route, otherwise, the trade route of Liufu would definitely be ruined by these bugs. ”

Looking at the direction in which the swarm left, Liu Mang's heart moved, and the surrounding insects swarmed over, enveloping him to form a small black cloud and chasing him, from the outside, he would not find anyone in the swarm at all.

Not long after Liu Mang left, on a dark ground, the shadow wriggled and jumped out of a black leopard, this leopard was the shadow leopard that was injured by Liu Mang before, the shadow leopard looked at the direction Liu Mang left, jumped for life, jumped over a distance of 100 meters, like diving, dived into the shadows, and then chased in the direction of the swarm.

Flying all the way, where the sea of insects passed, all the strange beasts, elixirs, and ores with spiritual energy were devoured, and only some ordinary beasts and plants escaped.

Liu Mang used the breath technique to tightly restrain his breath, and then hid in his own insect swarm, hanging behind the sea of insects, and secretly used the beast control technique to expand his team, fortunately, the beast control technique did not need to use spiritual power, otherwise he would have been discovered a long time ago.

With the passage of time, the insect swarm controlled by Liu Mang slowly grew, but compared with the entire insect sea, there is still a big gap, if one day he can tame all the insects in the entire insect sea, then after he goes out, he can walk sideways in the entire Zhao country.

However, Liu Mang knew in his heart that the idea of taming the entire sea of insects and hundreds of millions of insects through beast control was a bit unrealistic, and there was no need to think about it for more than hundreds of years, in which he could not do anything else except tame the insects.

However, there are no absolutes in the world, Liu Mang quickly came up with a shortcut, that is, to find out the insect queen in the insect sea, and then use the beast control technique to tame it, and then indirectly control the entire insect sea through it, so as to save a lot of time, however, there are two biggest problems at present, one is that Liu Mang's current beast control technique is not able to tame the insects that exceed his own strength too much, and the other is that the level of the insects he controls is too low, and he can't get close to the insect queen at all.

After a period of observation and information from the tamed insects, Liu Mang found that these spirit devouring insects (Liu Mang's own name for the insects) had a strict hierarchy system, and low-level insects could only surround the insects, and once they crossed their range, they would be eaten by high-level insects.

The lines on the insects' bodies represent the level of the insects, and the insect swarms controlled by Liu Mang are all low-level soul devouring insects with silver three to eight patterns, which is equivalent to the strength of a cultivator from the third to eighth layers of Qi Condensation.

Most of the insects in the insect perimeter are insects of this level, which belong to the cannon fodder type, and the number is also the largest, accounting for 70% of the entire insect sea.

The insects in the middle layer are all golden, which is equivalent to the strength of the monks in the foundation building period, accounting for twenty-five percent of the sea of insects, and the insects in the core part are silver, which is equivalent to the strength of the monks in the Dan period, accounting for five percent of the sea of insects.

Along the way, there was nothing that could stop the sea of insects, whether it was a powerful spirit beast or a huge barbarian tribe, all of them became food for the sea of insects one by one.

On this day, Liu Mang hid in the insect swarm, watching a medium-sized tribe in front of him that was stronger than the white wolf tribe being submerged in the insect sea, this tribe has at least 100,000 tribesmen, and tens of thousands of people who can fight, but in front of the boundless insect sea, it only lasted ten days, and the entire tribe became history.

"Why did the sea of worms suddenly change direction? Could it be that there's something in that canyon that attracts them?"

Liu Mang's heart moved, and he hurriedly commanded his insect swarm to follow.

The sky above the canyon was covered by the swarm of insects, and from a distance, it looked like a dark cloud shrouded above the canyon, and suddenly a group of golden-veined insects separated from the sea of insects, and a silver shadow could be faintly seen among these golden-veined insects.

"Hey, that seems to be a soldier insect! The soldier insect appeared, doesn't that mean that the insect queen is also in it?"

After the group of golden-veined insects rushed into the canyon, the surrounding sea of insects also landed in the dense forest around the canyon, and it seemed that they were ready to settle down here, and the insect swarm controlled by Liu Mang was the last to land, and he chose a mountainside closest to the edge of the canyon, which just happened to be able to see the scene in the canyon.

As soon as he landed, Liu Mang felt a full aura rush out of the canyon, making him feel a thrill all over his body.

The length of this canyon is about more than 20 miles, the width is four or five miles, a width of more than ten zhang, the water flow is rapid, but the water depth is only about one meter The river crosses the whole canyon, the river is lined with rocky beaches, as long as the mountain walls on both sides are full of lush plants, there are many elixirs of the last year.

"Huh, why weren't these elixirs eaten by those soul eaters? There was no shadow of them around, where did they go?"

Liu Mang swept around the canyon below, but didn't find the figures of those golden-veined spirit devouring insects.

In order not to alarm the soul devouring insects in the canyon, Liu Mang did not dare to use his divine sense to investigate, and the vision of the naked eye was limited, so it was a little difficult to find the traces of those soul devouring insects hiding in the canyon with the naked eye.

"The Spirit Devouring Worm must have been attracted by the rich aura in the canyon, as long as I find the location with the strongest aura inside, I should be able to find the traces of those bugs. ”

Liu Mang had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and after thinking about it, he immediately let the insect swarm wrap himself and fly all the way along the canyon wall.

After half a day, Liu Mang looked at almost the entire canyon, and finally locked on a cave at the end of the canyon, the soil around the cave knew at a glance that it had just been dug out, and there was a layer of white mist condensed by spiritual energy around the cave entrance.

Liu Mang cautiously approached the cave with the swarm of insects, and the closer he got to the cave, the richer the aura he felt, even the back mountain of the Hengyue Sect was not as strong as here, the aura here only needed ordinary breathing to be able to be inhaled into the body, and there was no need to use a special breathing method at all.

Not long after entering the cave, Liu Mang heard a "click" chewing sound, turned a corner, and saw that the walls of the cave around the front were densely packed with small holes the size of a fist, which looked like honeycombs, and those sounds came from the small holes.

There is no doubt that those soul devouring insects are in those small holes like beehives, Liu Mang walked to the nearest small hole, and when he looked at it, it was pitch black and he couldn't see the scene inside, so he condensed his divine consciousness into a small strand, and then probed into it along the small hole.

"Spirit Stone! Could it be that this is actually a spirit stone mine!"

Inside the small cave, through his divine sense, Liu Mang clearly saw that more than a dozen golden-veined spirit devouring insects were gnawing around a fist-sized lower grade spirit stone, and those strange sounds were the sounds they made from eating spirit stones.
