Chapter 1172 – Bug King
Chapter 1172 – The Insect King
Half a month later, the sandworm mound.
During this half month, Xu Chuniang had been carrying the Soul Breath Vine, decimating the sandworms at the Sandworm Mound.
Every day, dozens or even hundreds of sandworms of enormous size died in her and the Soul Breath Vine’s hands.
After devouring a large number of sandworm souls, those Soul Breath Vines that were injured got better day by day.
The Soul Breath Vines that were already uninjured also became even stronger after devouring the sandworm divine souls.
There were even several thick Soul Breath Vines that had a hidden tendency to advance towards the Heavenly Demon Middle Realm.
On this day, after killing seven or eight sand worms, Xu Chuniang was about to dig out their eyes, when she suddenly sensed something, her face changed slightly, and she decisively put away her axe and withdrew.
Just at the moment she withdrew and left, the place where she originally stood, the sandy soil plunged deeply into the ground, and the yellow sand that tumbled up, instantly buried the seven or eight fresh insect corpses.
Xu Chuniang sped away, not forgetting to use her divine mind to send a message to the six people picking up the bug corpses in the distance.
“There’s a big guy coming out of the sandworm mound, speed away!”
At the same time they heard the voice transmission, the six people also detected the movement coming from the distance and subconsciously glanced in the direction the voice came from.
This glance instantly made them die.
They saw that on the distant sand dune, a three feet long insect foot explored out from the sand.
The six of them didn’t dare to take a closer look, and hurriedly exerted all their strength, and frantically evaded in a direction far away from the sandworm dune.
Just one insect foot was three feet long, it was hard to imagine how huge the body of this sandworm was.
This big guy, in all likelihood, was a bug king that was dormant deep in the sandy bottom, possessing the strength of a Demon King level!
The bug king tumbled out from the sandy soil, coldly glancing at the direction Xu Chuniang had fled in, ignoring the remaining six people and chasing straight towards her.
It could sense that it was this person who had taken advantage of its slumber to kill countless sons and daughters.
Seeing the insect dynasty leave in another direction, the six people who had vanished gave a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but sweat for Xu Chuniang.
That was a Demon King level Bug King ah, the Bug King hostage anger, I’m afraid that a vicious battle is inevitable, I do not know whether the other party can escape from the Bug King’s pursuit of life in the end.
The old man retracted his gaze and walked in the direction of Sand City, “We can’t do much, let’s go back first, deal with the bug corpses while waiting for news.”
The remaining five people followed the old man in silence, their moods somewhat complicated.
Even a strong person such as the female cultivator was not an invincible existence in this Prisoner Sand Mountain, let alone ordinary cultivators like them.
In the cultivation world, there was never a truly safe place.
Unless one resigns oneself to this, and goes to the Three Heavens to find a leisurely errand to mingle with, or can live out the rest of one’s life in peace.
However, this kind of life seems to be stable, but a glance can see the head.
Who would be willing to give up halfway through their lives for these cultivators who had managed to cultivate to the Heavenly Demon Realm with great difficulty after all the hardships and dangers they had gone through?
The six of them went back to the camp they had established outside of Sand City, found an open space away from the tents, and silently packed up the insect corpses.
A familiar cultivator passed by here, saw them busy working non-stop, and immediately joked, “Not bad, it seems that this time out, the harvest is quite a lot.”
Although sand worms are the most common sand beasts in the Prisoner Sand Mountain, and their value is not high, but killing more of them can always be worth some money.
The female cultivator who was dealing with the bug corpse pointed to the sand bug’s eyes that had been gouged out and explained.
“We didn’t kill these sand worms, we took an order, we’re just handling the worm corpses on behalf of them to earn some hard-earned money.” The familiar cultivator was a bit surprised, but did not ask more questions, there would indeed be some chambers or organizations that hired people to do similar odd jobs.
Such a chore was tiring not to mention that the pay was also small, generally not many people were willing to do it.
After that person left, the old man sighed, “I don’t know what happened to that female cultivator.”
At those words, the rest of the people fell silent.
Some people’s minds turned quickly, if she could never come back, then wouldn’t all these insect corpses be theirs?
Seemingly guessing something, the old man’s tone carried a warning.
“You’ve all seen the strength of that female cultivator, even the Insect King may not be able to take her life.
You guys must not hit the idea of these bug corpses, said 50-50, then only take the share that belongs to us, don’t want to lose a lot of money for a small reason, leading to trouble.”
The people who had moved their minds immediately came to their senses, put away the thoughts they shouldn’t have, and concentrated on dealing with the bug corpses.
The movements of the several people handling the insect corpses were very skillful, and on average, each person was able to handle five or six insect corpses per day.
However, the insect corpses they had collected in the Sandworm Mound were enough for more than 1,300.
With six people working together, at the fastest speed, it would take at least forty days to completely dispose of the insect corpses.
With such a huge number of bug corpses, even if they could only share half of the magic crystals, it would still be nearly four hundred thousand.
Equally distributed to each person’s head, it would be more than sixty-six thousand magic crystals!
Thinking of this astonishing number, the six people were energized, this was almost half a year of their usual income.
And this time, they only went out for half a month, and other than being surprised by the Insect King when they were leaving, they didn’t encounter any danger throughout.
There were even some people who had already begun to scratch their heads, and when they got this amount of magic crystals, they would go and purchase a new vestment.
This vestment on his body, or just came to the sand city when purchased, has been so old that soon can not wear.
At the same time, 100,000 miles away in the yellow sand, after five or six days, Xu Chuniang finally got rid of the bug king’s pursuit.
She fled all the way, and finally rushed into the gerbil cave with the bug king, taking advantage of the bug king being entangled by the gerbils to cut off six pairs of the bug king’s insect feet, and managed to get rid of the bug king.
After successfully escaping, Xu Chuniang breathed a little sigh of relief and carefully recognized the direction, intending to return to Sand City first.
For one, the large amount of Sandworm Eyes she had accumulated in her hands needed to be dispatched, and for another, she had been out for quite a while this time, and the vines had had their fill, so it was time to go back.
As Xu Chuniang walked, she paid attention to the various changes in the Imprisoned Sand Mountain, noting them down one by one in a bid to make fewer wrong turns.
Despite this, when she returned to Sand City again, it was already four days later.
She returned to the place where she had camped before and re-camped, resting in her tent for a few days, adjusting her condition to the best before she followed the location given by the old man to find her way there.
As a result, she came up empty-handed, and several people were not in the tent at all.
At this time, half a month had passed since she was chased by the Insect King.
According to reason, such a long time, a few people should have long rushed back to Sand City, is it that they have something to go out, or …… another reason?
Living in this neighborhood, are familiar, Xu Chuniang this raw face, quickly caused the vigilance of the bystanders.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?”
Xu Chuniang glanced at the person who asked, “I’m looking for someone, Iwakwang lives here, right?”
Yan Guang was the old man amongst the six, he was not the strongest, but was the one who had lived the longest, and was the best at dealing with people.
