Chapter 663: Fighting (Part 2)
In the underground cave where Wu Yan of Xuanyuan Island usually retreated, except for the occasional faint strange sound of "crackling" echoing in the crystal ball floating directly above a large cauldron, the rest of the place was quiet and silent.
Suddenly, in the void less than three feet away from the crystal ball, weak spiritual power fluctuations arose, and the void in that place began to distort with these spiritual power fluctuations.
In a moment, a space crack appeared at the distorted place. In the space crack, two hair-thin tentacles suddenly stretched out, probed in the cave for a while, and then retracted.
After a few breaths of silence, suddenly, a ray of light suddenly escaped from the crack and appeared in the cave in an instant.
As the ray of light escaped from the space crack, the space crack also closed and disappeared in the next moment, as if it had never appeared.
The light of escape disappeared, and a strange beetle about ten feet long appeared in the cave.
From the appearance, this huge strange beetle is the same as the Xumi God Worm that was used as the mother nest by the "Six-winged Swallowing Mantis" in the crystal ball, but its body is several times the size of the original Xumi God Worm.
After this ferocious Xumi Worm King appeared in the cave, its two protruding compound eyes kept turning, and in the blink of an eye, it could see the situation in the entire cave clearly.
"Hehehe, that kid was really deceived by Pozhenzi and went to the deserted island. There is no one guarding this cave. It seems that the kid is usually a arrogant guy."
This huge Xumi Worm King actually spoke human words, floating in the air, swimming and talking to himself.
After a while, this worm king had searched the cave carefully, but unfortunately, it did not find anything worth stealing.
"Damn it, he is the leader of a sect, but he is actually a poor guy. There is nothing decent in his retreat cave. He is really a useless guy."
The Xumi Insect King complained a few words in dissatisfaction, and then swam towards the crystal ball slowly.
When he swam to the side of the crystal ball, the Xumi Insect King's compound eyes strangely looked at the insect body of the "Six-winged Sky Swallowing Mantis" in the crystal ball carefully.
"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder even the Emperor Buddha is tempted. This kid is amazing. He can actually cultivate the 'Six-winged Sky Swallowing Mantis', the first-class insect king in the ancient wilderness. Hehehe, it's not in vain that my beloved wife has been the mother nest. It can be said that she died for a good cause. It's worth it. I will build a tomb for my beloved wife to commemorate her contribution to me. Hehe, after the ancestor refines the breath left by the kid in this insect, feed it more spiritual food to make this insect king grow up. As long as I swallow it before it transforms, it will surely evolve into a more powerful new insect king! I'm really looking forward to it!"
While looking at the "Six-winged Sky Swallowing Mantis" in this crystal ball, the Xumi Insect King muttered to himself proudly, completely forgetting where he was now.
After the Xumi Insect King swam around the crystal ball for a few times, his attention involuntarily turned to the ancient cauldron directly below the crystal ball.
"Strange, why did that kid put a tripod here? Could this tripod have some origin? I have never heard of using an ancient tripod to cultivate the insect king."
The Xumi Insect King floated to the ground and circled around the tripod again, carefully looking at the ancient tripod in front of him. However, no matter how he looked at it, he could not see the origin of the tripod at all.
After a while, the Xumi Insect King could not help but jump on the top of the tripod, grabbing the outer wall of the tripod with eight limbs, and sticking his whole head into the tripod to look curiously.
At this moment, a faint light suddenly escaped from the tripod and instantly brushed on the head of the Xumi Insect King.
The Xumi Insect King did not expect that the tripod was really strange. He was immediately brushed by the faint light. He screamed loudly, and the whole insect body suddenly lit up with bursts of golden light. After a flash, it disappeared from the tripod out of thin air.
At the moment when the insect body disappeared, a ray of light rushed out from one of the ears of the cauldron and rolled towards the center above the cave. In the ray of light, there was a faint red fireball, floating unsteadily, and inside it was a strange red fire crow, flashing its wings and searching the cave carefully with its fiery eyes.
The next moment, the insect body of the Xumi Insect King showed its true form more than ten feet away from the cauldron.
However, at this time, its head was being held by a string of skull beads with dim light. On the skull beads, rays of dim light shot out, imprisoning the head of the insect king, and there was a tendency to absorb the demon soul in his skull into the skull beads.
The Xumi Insect King was struggling hard at this moment, trying to get rid of the imprisonment of the skull beads, and at the same time, he let out an extremely unpleasant scream. Waves of golden light spurted out from the two tentacles on its head, protecting its entire head. The faint light emitted by the oppressive skull rosary flickered and flickered.
The fire crow in the red fireball saw the true form of the Xumi Insect King revealed, and it flashed and rushed towards it without hesitation.
Sensing the danger, the Xumi Insect King screamed, and endured the waves of bone-eating pain from his head. His body flashed with golden light again, and he dodged to the side without hesitation.
Bang!
Before the red fireball fell, it suddenly exploded three feet above the ground, forming a giant net of fire tongues with a radius of ten feet. The fire crow controlled the giant net of fire tongues that formed instantly, and without hesitation, it covered the Xumi insect king below.
Thanks to the Xumi insect king's sensitive sense and timely dodge, the insect body lit up with golden light again, flashed to the side, and its tail narrowly rubbed the edge of the giant net of fire tongues, avoiding the capture of the giant net of fire tongues.
However, the limbs and tail feathers of its tail were rubbed by the flames and burned instantly.
The Xumi insect king's buttocks was severely burned, and he was furious. Then he saw that he suddenly shook his head violently, "bang", and with a loud bang, a golden light suddenly flashed from his head, and the string of skull beads that was originally imprisoned on his head was instantly exploded into eighteen scattered skull beads, flying in all directions.
The Xumi Insect King opened his mouth and sprayed a golden light towards the place where his tail was on fire. The flames burning on his tail were extinguished in an instant by the golden light. Where the golden light passed, the burned tail and limbs of the Xumi Insect King were instantly restored to their original state.
"Which ignorant thief dared to hide in the cauldron and attack me? Come out!"
The Xumi Insect King was furious. In the flash of golden light, he turned into a bald man with an evil aura, and his eyes swept around the cave with evil and gloomy eyes.
The giant net of flames condensed into a small red fireball in an instant, floating in the air. In the fireball, the fire crow Wuhuo flashed his fire wings very agilely, and sent a cold snort of telekinesis to the Xumi Insect King with disdain.
"So it's you, the Fire Crow spirit, who's causing trouble." The Xumi Insect King stared at the Fire Crow in the fireball viciously, and roared fiercely: "I will definitely catch you, refine your spirit, and extinguish your fire!"
At this moment, although his tail seemed to have recovered, it was indeed severely injured by Wu Huo's Sun True Spirit Fire in that moment.
If he hadn't spent a lot of insect body demon essence to repair it, his hind limbs and tail would have been affected by the damage.
The skull beads scattered in all directions suddenly whistled together again, and under the traction of a faint blood-colored thin line, they were connected together again and hooped over the head of the Xumi Insect King again.
The Xumi Insect King didn't seem to expect that this strange magic weapon that he destroyed could be restored, and he was immediately shocked.
Without thinking, a large amount of golden light suddenly spurted out from his body again. In the blink of an eye, these golden lights condensed into two pairs of golden, transparent, narrow and long net-like wings behind him.
Before the skull rosary could wrap around his head, he saw that his two pairs of narrow and long net-like wings flashed, and countless golden thin lines flew out from his wings strangely, hitting the skull rosary.
These golden thin lines, who didn't know what kind of magical power they were, were special magical powers for the skull rosary. They were not afraid of them. Under the constant collision, they actually made the faint light emitted from the skull rosary gradually dim.
Seeing that the light of the skull rosary gradually dimmed under his attack, the Xumi Insect King couldn't help but laugh triumphantly. While laughing, he flipped his palm, and a golden light suddenly escaped from his hand, turning into a crescent-shaped golden blade, slashing at the black fire floating in the air.
Wu Huo screamed sharply, his wings kept flashing, and thick flames shot out from the light ball outside his body, rolling towards the arc-shaped golden blade.
However, Xumi Insect King laughed strangely, and when his mind moved slightly, the arc-shaped golden blade that was originally slashing towards Wu Huo suddenly changed direction and cut straight towards the bronze cauldron beside him.
The power emanating from the arc-shaped golden blade was extremely terrifying. A cultivator with a little judgment ability could see that it was at least a treasure of the spiritual treasure level. If the arc-shaped golden blade really cut into the bronze cauldron, it would definitely destroy the cauldron easily.
Although this Five Elements Immortal Refining Cauldron is an immortal-level alchemy cauldron, its power is only in the way of sealing and alchemy. Judging from its refining techniques and the materials used, it can only be regarded as an ancient magic weapon, and its power is naturally incomparable to that of a spiritual treasure.
Just as the arc-shaped golden blade was about to cut the bronze tripod, a black light suddenly emerged from the ground, and in a flash, it pierced the center of the curved golden blade with extreme precision.
The strong golden light emitted by the arc-shaped golden blade suddenly dispersed, and the light dimmed. At the same time, a wailing sound came from it, and it stumbled back.
At the same time, the face of the Xumi Insect King, who was laughing triumphantly, suddenly turned pale, but it was because the spirituality in the arc-shaped golden blade was injured, which also hurt his mind.
However, before the arc-shaped golden blade returned to the Xumi Insect King, another khaki light suddenly emerged from the ground, and a khaki tortoise shell space was condensed in an instant. The arc-shaped golden blade just crashed into the tortoise shell space and was firmly trapped by it.
"Who is it on earth? They are sneaking in the dark and attacking me! If you have the guts, come out and fight me openly!" After encountering strange attacks one after another, the Sumeru Insect King felt dizzy and overwhelmed. He was so angry that he was furious. He stood there and roared in all directions.
