Chapter 487 – Inflammable Demon Worm Mother
Chapter 487 – Inflamed Demon Bug Mother
“Senior Brother Lu, have you discovered anything?”
Zhou Yunning asked Lu Xuan while keeping an eye on the battle between the Flame Giant and Fire Liner below.
“I just feel that something is wrong, I wonder if there is any correlation between those Demonic Flame Insects inside the Spirit Field and the alienation of this Yuan Essence Fire Spirit.”
Lu Xuan slowly said.
“Good, then Senior Brother, pay more attention to yourself, you a Spirit Plant Master, remember not to put yourself in danger, if you come across anything, you can immediately ask us for help.”
Seeing that the Alienated Yuan Essence Fire Spirit was extremely difficult to deal with, and even True Disciple Fire Liner seemed unable to solve it in a short period of time, Xu Yong decided that he and the two of them, Zhou Yunning, would be right here to help out.
“I’ll keep an eye out for it, and I’ll have to rely on the two senior brothers and sisters on Brother Fire’s side.”
Lu Xuan left behind a sentence, and the aura of the Green Fu Tread on his feet surged forth, like a floating light sweeping into the passageway.
Naturally, he wouldn’t put himself in a dangerous situation, with the Treading Cloud Lynx, Void Nightmare Eyes, and Delusion Breaking Pupil Technique, he could completely detect any powerful threats that might exist beforehand, and retreat in one piece.
When he was about to arrive at the Spirit Field, the Taotou Insect Sac flashed, and the Treading Cloud Lynx appeared on his shoulder.
A pair of turquoise eye pupils looked at Lu Xuan indifferently, and the two tufts of gray hairs on the tips of his ears that quietly curved into a heart shape revealed its inner thoughts.
“Little lynx, pay good attention to the neighborhood, if you find any traces of evil spirits, inform me at the first opportunity.”
“Ow……”
The cloud-treading lynx let out a low roar with a three-quarter pinch of intent, with an unconcerned stance.
“Good da good da!”
Lu Xuan, however, heard the constant assent from within its heart.
With a thought, a tiny crack appeared on top of his head, and a grayish eye pupil drilled out of the crack, then vanished without a trace.
In a flash, it reappeared on the high altitude in front of him, constantly traveling around Lu Xuan.
“The appearance of so many Demonic Flame Insects parasitizing spiritual plants in the spiritual field is by no means a natural thing, it must have been laid by a cultivator or demon.”
“Devil Flame Insects are extremely rare and uncommon, the existence behind it naturally won’t just stand by and watch them being cleaned up, it will definitely find a way to recycle the remaining Devil Flame Insects.”
“Perhaps, that Yuan Essence Fire Spirit in the Fire Cloud Spring was influenced by it, thus alienating itself and attracting the attention of Fire Lin’er as well as the few of us?”
Lu Xuan thought darkly as he traveled through the passageway at breakneck speed.
“In that case, the strength of that behind-the-scenes being shouldn’t be too strong, or else he wouldn’t have cornered the waters and used this method, and would have just directly reduced it with one force.”
As he thought of this, his heart settled down quite a bit.
When he was about to enter the realm of the Spirit Field, he collected his breath and lowered his speed.
Turning his head to look at the Treading Cloud Lynx on his shoulder, the lynx’s turquoise pupils stared tightly at the spirit field in front of him and shook his head, indicating that he did not find any abnormality.
Lu Xuan frowned slightly and stretched out his hand, a palm pattern on his palm increasing in size and deepening, and soon, a small grayish pupil of an eye appeared.
The pupil of the eye reflected the scene seen by the Void Nightmare Eye.
In the vast spirit field, spirit plants were distributed in a well-organized manner, and many of them had black and red thin lines of varying sizes, exactly the same as the scene before they left.
“Hmm? It seems to be a bit different.”
Under Lu Xuan’s mind control, the Void Nightmare Eye appeared and disappeared, focusing on a piece of spirit plants below that had yet to be processed.
One could only see that on several Spirit Plants, a thin black and red line was unusually active, and it even took the initiative to slowly drill out from the branches and leaves.
A streak of differently sized, malnourished Devil Flame Insects gathered towards a certain location in the spiritual field.
The Devil Flame Insects that were in a parasitic state actually awakened of their own accord!
Lu Xuan’s heart flinched as he stood still, his grayish pupils turning slightly as he looked towards the direction where the Demonic Flame Insects were gathering. A blank ……
No abnormality was found.
“Not right.”
He looked at the vision shared out by the Void Nightmare Eye in his hand and felt a hint of something wrong.
The distance was simply too far, spaced by a stone wall and numerous spiritual plants, it was not good to perform the Delusion Breaking Pupil Technique, the cautious Lu Xuan stood still, his mind racing.
“There.”
He took out a jade box from his storage bag, opened it noiselessly, and took out a piece of hundred year old Ice Spirit from inside, and inside the Ice Spirit was sealing several black and red thin lines.
It was none other than the Demonic Flame Insects that he had cleared out from the Fire Spirit Plants.
At that time in curiosity, collected a few, want to return to the sect after the research study, or bring to the old fox to do experiments, did not expect to be immediately put to use.
He carefully took out one of the relatively most active Devil Flame Insects from it and seeped in a trace of Green Wood Source Qi, and the Devil Flame Insects instantly became alive and flew away from Lu Xuan.
After entering the spiritual field, it unexpectedly flew towards the direction where the rest of the Devil Flame Insects had gathered.
“Indeed.”
Lu Xuan thought triumphantly in his heart as he saw that the plan was already half successful.
The unknown being in the Spirit Field was indeed summoning the remaining Demonic Flame Insects, and as long as he recovered the one he had released, then it was highly likely that he would be able to complete the feeding procedure on this, and thus be informed of the unknown being’s information.
High above the Spirit Field, the Void Nightmare Eye stared intently at the released Demonic Flame Insect, and after it merged into a piece of nothingness, Lu Xuan’s mind coalesced on that piece of nothingness in the distance.
A thought emerged from his mind.
[Inferno Demon Bug Mother, an appendage of the Extraterrestrial Demon Inferno Demon, born with a mastery of the Mysterious Exotic Flame, extremely strong in concealment, with the strength of a quasi JieDan cultivator].
[The Inferno Insect Mother can give birth to numerous foreign insect heirs, sucking the vitality of various fire plants, and then returning to the Inferno Insect Mother’s body when it’s matured, which can be used as the Inferno Inferno’s nutrients for its growth.]]
[My poor children, why are they so malnourished one by one?]
“Extraterrestrial demons? Quasi JieDan’s strength? It’s not difficult to deal with, but it’s still best to gather with Senior Brother Fire Liner and have him deal with it.”
Lu Xuan let out a long breath, after learning about the information about the Void Presence in that Spirit Field, he had the idea of backing down in his heart, and was about to withdraw the Void Nightmare Eye when suddenly, the sight in his hand made him stare.
Only to see that the many Demonic Flame Insects that had originally gathered in the spiritual field towards one direction suddenly stopped in unison and stayed motionless in their original places.
This scene instantly caused Lu Xuan’s alarm.
“Careless!”
“Although during the process of clearing the Devil Flame Insects, these foreign insects that were still only in the parasitic stage didn’t have any strong resistance abilities and didn’t show any subjective consciousness.”
“But that doesn’t mean that they behave like this in front of the Inferno Worm Mother, they originated from the Worm Mother and should have a unique way of communicating.”
“The Demonic Flame Worm that was just released, although it allowed me to learn about the Inferno Worm Mother, it is also very likely that I will be exposed as a result, and be detected by that Inferno Worm Mother.”
A trace of remorse arose in Lu Xuan’s heart, he was paralyzed by those parasitic Demonic Flame Insects and didn’t think that he might expose himself as a result.
“Soldiers come to stop, water comes to cover the earth, although the Insect Mother knows of my existence, it doesn’t know that I know of its existence as well.”
“In a sense, the initiative is still in my hands.”
Lu Xuan looked calm and thought secretly.
