By the ancient tree, there has been no sound since that strange sound.

After three breaths, Yun Congfeng spoke, "I don't know which Daoist friend is coming, why don't you show up?" he said as he waved his hand left and right to the two Qi Refining Eighth-Layer Cultivators beside him.

The two immediately signaled, and they stepped lightly, forming a trend of outflanking left and right, and slowly surrounded the past.

The two of them got closer and closer, but in five breaths, they came to a distance of seven or eight feet from the ancient tree where Su Zhi was hiding.

"Friend, if you don't show up again, then don't blame me for being ruthless?" Yun Congfeng spoke, motioning for the two to move on.

Two breaths passed, and the two Qi Refining Eighth-Layer monks were only five zhang away from the ancient tree, and Su Zhi's palms were also overflowing with fine sweat, but he still tried his best to restrain his breath, and even his breath was closed.

Just when the two of them were only three feet away from Su Zhi's hiding place, there was a sudden 'chirping' sound from the top of the ancient tree, and no one looked away, only to find that it was a big yellow squirrel eating.

"Damn, it turned out to be a brute, which scared the uncle. The eighth-level Qi refining monk on the left scolded, and then with a wave of his palm, he cut the squirrel into two pieces.

"I'll just say, there is still a monk in this Chijin Mountain Range who is not long-eyed and dares to follow us. The eighth-layer man on the right also said angrily.

"Looks like I'm overthinking. ”

Fan Yi heard the two of them say this, and also agreed, who dares to follow them here, it's not looking for death, "It seems that the older I get, the less courageous I become." He shook his head, thinking.

Yun Congfeng's face was a little uncomfortable, he was a ninth-level Qi refining monk who was actually frightened by a squirrel, especially when he remembered his actions just now, his face was hot. He waved his hand at the two of them and said coldly, "Since it's okay, then rest early, don't run around, recuperate and prepare for tomorrow!"

Listening to Yun Congfeng's cold tone, the two glanced at each other, and both saw the depression and dissatisfaction in each other's eyes, but although they were dissatisfied, they still had to obey Yun Congfeng's orders, and they immediately ran back as soon as they moved.

Time passed in a hurry, half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the five people by the campfire had all closed their eyes and sat cross-legged, listening to their slow and long breathing, Su Zhi slowly relaxed his body.

"It's so thrilling. ”

Su Zhi said secretly, wiping the fine sweat on his forehead, if it wasn't for the squirrel that suddenly appeared just now, which made these five people make a wrong judgment, I am afraid that he would already be fighting with these five people.

"It seems that I don't have enough concentration, and I was confused as soon as I heard the news of the gold devouring ants. ”

'Gold Devouring Ants', a spirit insect with a silver-white body and the size of a fingernail, specializing in spirit stones and some rare metals for their livelihood, has always only appeared near large spirit ores or metal veins, and the chance of gold devouring ants appearing in small spirit ores like this is almost zero.

This insect is born with the ability to control metallic substances, and its attack and defense capabilities are very powerful, which is something that many insect repellent monks dream of.

If the deworming monk can get thousands of these spirit worms, then even if the foundation building monk sees it, he will probably only have to escape.

But this is not the reason why Su Zhi made Su Zhi so out of shape, more importantly, this gold eater ant is the food of the 'immortal silkworm'.

Immortal silkworm, ranked third on the list of spirit insects in the immortal world, feed on strange insects such as gold eaters and fire ants, this silkworm can spit out a 'continuous silk' after adulthood, it is said that this continuous silk seems to have a soft and light texture, but it is indestructible, if there are monks who can get continuous silk, and refine it into a natal object, it is simply a soul-locking silk.

And the 'continuous silk' is a necessary thing for the second stage of Su Zhi's cultivation of the Feather Sutra.

According to the introduction of the Feather Sutra, if Su Zhi wants to cultivate the second layer, he must draw continuous silk into his body, use this silk as a seed, and use the mana of the flesh as nourishment, and finally train his body into a cocoon in a special way with the Feather Sutra.

Truly achieve the unity of mana and physical body.

Once the mana and the physical body are one, then Su Zhi's physical body will not be destroyed, the mana will not be dissipated, and the physical body will not die. At that time, even if someone pierced his heart and even cut off his head, as long as he was picked up before his consciousness was wiped out, Su Zhi would not die.

This is the reason why Su Zhi is so out of shape.

Before, the purpose of his coming here was to recover the spirit stone, get rid of the black sheep for the Falling Star Sect, and complete Zhuo Buqun's task, but now, nothing is more important than this gold devouring ant, although this is just the food of the immortal silkworm, but it is enough to make Su Zhi crazy.

"Although the gold eater ant is just a kind of food for the undead silkworm, there is a certain chance of luring the undead silkworm, I must get this gold eater ant, no one can stop me, people block it and kill people, and the demon block will kill the demon!"

Su Zhi roared excitedly in his heart, his eyes full of greed for the gold devouring ants.

Once a person craves something but can't get it, he always feels that time flies very slowly, so he asks the current Su Zhi, who only needs to meditate for a while on weekdays to enter the meditation, but now two hours have passed, and he still can't settle down.

His mind was already full of the sound of the gold eater, and he had been controlling himself not to think about the gold eater, but the more he could control it, the deeper he thought about it, and in the end, his greedy eyes turned red.

"In that case, it is better to practice the Feather Sutra. ”

Su Zhi no longer thought about how to stop thinking about the gold devouring ants, nor how to make himself settled, but silently recited the Feather Sutra, over and over again, Su Zhi didn't know how many times he meditated and then the voice about the gold devouring ants in his head finally disappeared.

Finally, when the sky was bright, Su Zhi slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, opened his eyes, his face was calm at this moment, his eyes were clear and thorough, and he no longer had the desire he had before.

It's not that his greed for the gold eater ant has decreased, but that he can control his emotions more precisely, and after such a long ideological struggle, his control of his emotions will be raised to a high level in the future.

Not long after Su Zhi recovered to Qingming, as soon as Chen Shi arrived, Fan Yi, Yun Congfeng and the other five people had already gotten up from their seats, and after they looked around, they walked towards the center of the mountain range.

Su Zhi didn't dare to be careless after last night's lesson, and after making sure that he was far enough away from the five people, he slowly followed up.

It seems that he is worried about alarming the gold-devouring ants, the speed of the five people is very slow, half an hour has passed, but they have only walked more than ten miles, and when they reach twenty miles, Su Zhi found that the footsteps of the five people have become slower and slower, Su Zhi knows, I am afraid that the nest of the gold-devouring ants is about to arrive.

Sure enough, after walking out of another mile, Su Zhi found that there were signs of gnawing on the ground, and there were even many thumb-sized holes in some places, all kinds of signs indicated that they had reached the activity area of the gold devouring ants.

"Looking at the cautious posture of these five people, there are probably hundreds of gold-devouring ants here, otherwise it would be impossible for them to join forces with the five of them, and they are so cautious. ”

Just when Su Zhi was guessing, the five of them finally stopped, and after a few whispers, they hid behind a few ancient trees.

Seeing this, Su Zhi didn't dare to approach, he quietly jumped to the branch of a big tree, and then looked towards the place where the five people were.

In Su Zhi's field of vision, there was a large pit with a radius of ten meters about five and a half miles away, and some silver light was moving back and forth between the pit and the edge.

"It's really a gold-eating ant!" Su Zhiyi was happy, he knew that these rays must be refracted by the sunlight shining on the gold-eating ants.

"Judging from the density of this light, there are at least a thousand gold-devouring ants here, and with so many gold-devouring ants, it is simply wishful thinking for these five people to take the gold-devouring ant eggs without paying some price today. Su Zhi said secretly and watched quietly.

Now he doesn't need to do anything, just sit back and wait for the fisherman's profit.
