Chapter 17 – Purple Fire Centipede
Chapter 17 – Purple Striped Fire Centipede
“Let’s collect the Snow Cloud Fox first! Don’t let it run away, this fellow is very cunning, I’ve heard of someone capturing a Snow Cloud Fox and having it run away halfway.”
Qin Qing suggested.
Ye Yuqing took out a silver colored talisman seal and slapped it on the Snow Cloud Fox’s head, and the Snow Cloud Fox immediately stopped moving as if it was immobilized.
“Fairy Ye, what kind of talisman seal is this? Wouldn’t it be convenient to use it to capture a first rank demonic beast?”
Shen Long asked curiously.
“This is a demon fixing talisman, it just temporarily fixes it, making it convenient to be included in the spirit beast pouch.”
Ye Yuqing explained.
With a strangle of her spell, the green-colored netting loosened the Snow Cloud Fox.
Ye Yuyue offered a green-colored spirit beast pouch and spewed out a green-colored haze, covering the Snow Cloud Fox and putting it into the spirit beast pouch.
They disposed of the corpse of the demonic insect, Ye Yu Tang’s magic trick was pinched, the blue water curtain shattered, a dozen white jade bees flew towards the southeast, Shen Long and the others hurriedly followed.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, they arrived at a dense black forest, the vegetation here was dense, the sunlight was scarce, the fallen leaves on the ground were about a foot thick, and they could smell a rotting odor.
A dozen of White Jade Bees flew in front of a sky-high tree and flew towards the ground, and it was only then that the crowd realized that there was a huge pit on the ground.
From time to time, there were white jade bees flying in and out, obviously the hive was here.
Qin Qing picked up a stone and threw it into the pit, and after a while, there was an echo.
“Fellow Daoist Qin, go explore.”
Sun Yang said.
“I don’t have a flying magic weapon, how can I probe? This pit extends towards the ground, flying is the only way to probe.”
Qin Qing frowned and said.
“I’ll give you a Flying Talisman and a Golden Armor Talisman, so go and explore, even if you run into second-order White Jade Bees, as long as you don’t actively attack the White Jade Bees, they shouldn’t attack you.”
Ye Yuqing took out a Flying Talisman and a Golden Armor Talisman and handed them to Qin Qing.
Qin Qing slightly hesitated and agreed.
Qin Qing received the two talismans and slapped the Flying Sky Talisman onto his body.
With a flash of green light, a pair of feathered wings with flickering green light appeared on his back, and with a gentle flap, Qin Qing flew towards the giant hole.
Shen Long and the others waited outside, their faces filled with anticipation.
After a little more than half a quarter of an hour, Qin Qing flew out and said excitedly, “The wasp king is only in the late stage of the first rank, not very strong, and the hive is huge.”
“Great, come on, let’s go in and pick the hive.”
Xu Lei sacrificed his Qing Yun Boat and walked up, Shen Long and the others hurriedly followed.
With a pinch of his spell, the Green Cloud Boat flew into the huge pit, the cave extended vertically along the ground, descending hundreds of feet before it came to the ground, appearing in an acre-sized grotto.
In the lower right corner of the grotto there was a huge white hive, and a large number of white jade bees could be seen.
“Be careful, don’t destroy the hive.”
Xu Lei instructed, taking out a green-colored feathered fan and gently flicking it, a large swathe of harsh green-colored wind blades shot out, cutting down a large number of white jade bees.
Shen Long and the others sacrificed their magic weapons and attacked the white jade bees.
The White Jade Wasp’s attack power was not strong, and it was not their match at all.
They killed the white jade bees of the early first stage and captured the white jade bees of the mid first stage and late first stage, which could be sold for spirit stones.
It didn’t take long for the battle to end.
Xu Lei collected the hives and sold them for spirit stones to redistribute.
“Fairy Ye’s knowledge is vast, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to find the White Jade Bee’s hive.”
Qin Qing said with a smile.
If it wasn’t for the Demon Baiting Incense that attracted the White Jade Bee, they wouldn’t have been able to follow the trail and find the hive.
“It’s just luck, I didn’t know there were white jade bees here either, thanks to the information that Fellow Daoist Xu inquired about.”
Ye Yuyue modestly said.
“It’s a rare trip into the mountains, Fairy Ye still needs the formation, let’s continue strolling around, we might be able to find more first-order demonic beasts.”
Qin Qing suggested. There was too much to harvest this time, not only would he be able to pay back Shen Long’s spirit stones, but he would also make a big profit.
“Just take what you can get! We are only at the Qi Refining Stage after all.”
Shen Long said that their harvest was not small anymore.
Xu Lei looked at Ye Yutang and said politely, “Fairy Ye, what do you think!”
“Fellow Daoist Qin and Fellow Daoist Shen both have a point, it’s a rare trip out, so let’s continue strolling around! As long as we’re careful, we shouldn’t run into second-order demonic beasts.”
Ye Yutang said, she was stuck in a bottleneck, which was why she teamed up with Xu Lei and the others.
“Then as Fairy Ye said, let’s stroll around some more.”
Xu Lei said.
All the cultivators had no opinion, Ye Yutang had proved herself with her strength.
Xu Lei pinched his spell, and the green cloud boat carried the crowd up in the air, flew out of the cave, and landed on the ground as Shen Long and the others walked down.
Xu Lei put away the green cloud boat and walked forward, Shen Long and the others hurriedly followed.
A day later, they appeared in a long and narrow valley, the vegetation within the valley was sparse and looked a bit desolate.
They were filled with a look of wariness, and their speed was not fast.
Not long after, they walked out of the valley, and a vast and boundless green-colored bamboo forest appeared in front of them.
A loud popping sound came from the front, and a huge ball of red-colored fire lit up in the distance, and the crowd’s hearts were startled.
“It seems like someone is hunting a demonic beast, or it could be a demonic beast foraging for food, Qin Qing, go scout around.”
Xu Lei said.
Qin Qing answered and his feet lit up with a green light as he ran towards the bamboo forest.
Just then, a wretched figure flew head on, it was none other than Liu Jiao.
Liu Jiao’s right arm had disappeared, her breath was wilted, her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with fear, as if she had encountered something terrifying.
“Mrs. Liu!”
Qin Qing was surprised to see Liu Jiao.
A sharp and ear-piercing hissing sound rang out as two huge red-colored centipedes chased after them.
The centipedes had some purple lines on their surfaces that were all natural and had wings on their backs.
“Not good, it’s the Purple Striped Fire Centipede! They are spirit insects on the Heaven and Earth Strange Insect List, their aptitude is relatively strong, we are no match, run.”
Ye Yutang exclaimed.
These two Purple Striped Fire Centipedes were only in the late first stage, the Purple Striped Fire Centipede was ranked at the 955th place on the Heaven and Earth Strange Insects List, which was a relatively low ranking, but spirit insects that could be ranked on the Heaven and Earth Strange Insects List all had exceptional abilities.
Qin Qing’s reaction was the fastest, his feet blazing with green light as he ran along the way he came.
“Fellow Daoist Xu, save me.”
Liu Jiao opened her mouth to ask for help.
Xu Lei regarded it as if he hadn’t heard it, dead Taoist friends don’t die in poverty.
He hurriedly sacrificed his Qing Yun Boat and walked up, and Shen Long’s seven people hurriedly followed.
Xu Lei pinched his magic, and the Green Cloud Boat lit up with a green light and rose into the air.
The two Purple Striped Fire Centipedes each spewed out a thick, red-colored flame, heading straight for Liu Jiao.
Liu Jiao hastily sacrificed a green shield with dim spiritual light, on which there were many tiny cracks and traces of fire, which was not lightly damaged.
The two red flames struck on top of the green shield, the rolling flames flooded the green shield.
Two purple striped fire centipedes flew over, their scythe-like claws struck above the shield, and the shield was like papier-mâché, falling apart.
The sharp claws of the two Purple Striped Fire Centipedes broke through Liu Jiao’s defense and chopped it into blood clots and ate it.
Shen Long witnessed the murder of Liu Jiao and was secretly surprised that the strange insects that ranked on the list of strange insects of heaven and earth were really powerful.
