Chapter 487 The Flame Demon Insect Mother
“Junior Brother Lu, have you discovered anything?”
Zhou Yunning asked Lu Xuan while paying attention to the battle between the flame giant and Huo Lin'er below.
“I just feel something is wrong. I don’t know if there is any connection between the demonic flame insects in the spiritual field and the alienation of this elemental fire spirit.”
Lu Xuan said slowly.
"Okay, junior brother, please pay more attention to yourself. As a spiritual planter, remember not to put yourself in danger. If you encounter anything, you can ask us for help immediately."
Xu Yong saw that the alienated Yuanjing Fire Spirit was extremely difficult to deal with, and even the true disciple Huo Lin'er seemed unable to solve it in a short time, so he decided to help out here with Zhou Yunning.
"I will pay more attention. Senior Brother Huo still needs to rely on two senior brothers and sisters."
Lu Xuan left a sentence, and a spiritual light emerged from the green shoes on his feet, like a floating light that swept into the passage.
He will naturally not put himself into a dangerous situation. With the Cloud-Stepping Lynx, Nightmare Eyes in the Void, and Eye-Breaking Techniques, he can detect possible powerful threats in advance and escape unscathed.
When he was about to arrive at the spiritual field, a flash of light flashed from the gluttonous worm sac on his body, and the cloud-walking lynx appeared on his shoulder.
A pair of green eyes looked at Lu Xuan indifferently, and the two tufts of gray hair on the tips of the ears quietly bent into a heart shape, revealing his inner thoughts.
“Little lynx, please pay close attention to the surrounding area. If you find any trace of evil spirits, please inform me as soon as possible.”
…
The Cloud-Stepping Lynx roared with a hint of concern, showing an indifferent attitude.
“Okay, okay!”
Lu Xuan heard the constant responses in his heart.
With a thought in his mind, a tiny crack appeared on the top of his head, and a gray-white pupil drilled out of the crack, and then disappeared without a trace.
In an instant, it appeared again high in the sky ahead, swimming around Lu Xuan.
"The presence of so many demonic flame insects parasitic on spiritual plants in the spiritual field is definitely not a natural thing. It must have been planted by monks or demons."
“Magic Flame Insects are extremely rare. The beings behind them will naturally not watch them being cleaned up. They will definitely find a way to recycle the remaining Demonic Flame Insects.”
"Perhaps the fire spirit in Huoyunquan was affected by it and transformed, attracting the attention of Huo Lin'er and the rest of us?"
Lu Xuan thought to himself as he shuttled through the passage at high speed.
"In this case, the strength of the person behind the scenes should not be too strong, otherwise he would not use this method in a roundabout way, and just use one force to defeat ten enemies."
Thinking of this, he felt a lot more at ease.
When he was about to enter the realm of spiritual fields, he restrained his breath and slowed down his speed.
Turning his head to look at the cloud-walking lynx on his shoulder, the lynx's green eyes were fixed on the spiritual field in front of him, and he shook his head to indicate that he found nothing unusual.
Lu Xuan frowned slightly and stretched out his hand. A line on his palm continued to grow and deepen, and soon, a small gray-white eye appeared.
The scene seen by the Void Nightmare Eyes is reflected in the pupils.
In the vast spiritual field, spiritual plants are distributed in an orderly manner. Many spiritual plants have thin black and red lines of different sizes, which are exactly the same as the scene before leaving.
“Hmm? It seems a little different.”
Under the control of Lu Xuan’s mind, the Nightmare Eyes in the Void appeared and disappeared, focusing on the unprocessed spiritual plant below.
On several spiritual plants, thin black and red lines were extremely active, and they actually took the initiative to slowly emerge from the branches and leaves.
The demonic flame insect that was in a parasitic state actually woke up on its own initiative!
Lu Xuan's heart trembled, and he stood there, his gray-white eyes turning slightly, looking towards the direction where the magic flame insects were gathering. Blank…
No abnormalities were found.
"its not right."
He looked at the vision shared by the Void Nightmare Eye in his hand and felt something was wrong.
The distance was too far. There were stone walls and numerous spiritual plants in the middle, making it difficult to use the Eye-Breaking Technique. Lu Xuan, who was cautious, stood on the spot, his thoughts changing rapidly.
“Have it.”
He took out a jade box from the storage bag, opened it silently, and took out a century-old ice soul. There were several thin black and red lines sealed in the ice soul.
It was the magic flame insect he cleaned out from the fire spiritual plant.
At the time, I was curious and collected a few of them. I wanted to study them after returning to the sect, or bring them to the old fox for experiments. Unexpectedly, they came in handy immediately.
He carefully took out one of the relatively most active demonic flame bugs from it, and infiltrated it with a trace of Aoki Origin Qi. The demonic flame insect suddenly became lively and vigorous, and quickly escaped from Lu Xuan.
After entering the spiritual field, he rushed towards the direction where the other magic flame insects gathered.
"As expected."
Lu Xuan thought with pride when he saw that his plan was half successful.
The unknown being in the spiritual field is indeed summoning the remaining magic flame insects. As long as the magic flame insect he released is recovered, it is very likely to complete the feeding process and obtain information about the unknown existence.
High in the sky above Lingtian, the Nightmare Eyes in the Void stared closely at the released demonic flame insect. After it merged into the void, Lu Xuan's mind in the distance was focused on the void.
A thought came to mind.
【The Balrog Mother is a vassal of the extraterrestrial demon Balrog. She is born with the ability to master mysterious fires, has extremely strong concealment capabilities, and has the strength of a quasi-alchemy monk. 】
【The Balrog mother can give birth to numerous alien insect offspring, which absorb the vitality of various fire spiritual plants. After they are raised, they return to the mother insect's body and can be used as nutrients for the growth of the Balrog. 】
【My poor children, why are they all so malnourished? 】
“Extraterrestrial demons? The strength of the quasi-denal formation? Although it is not difficult to deal with it, it is best to gather with senior brother Huo Lin’er and let him deal with it.”
Lu Xuan took a long breath. After learning the information about the existence of nothingness in the spiritual field, he had the idea of backing down. Just when he was about to take back the Void Nightmare Eye, he suddenly couldn't help but be startled by the scene in his hand.
I saw that many magic flame insects that had gathered in one direction in the spiritual field suddenly stopped and stayed in place motionless.
This scene immediately aroused Lu Xuan's vigilance.
“Too careless!”
“Although during the process of cleaning up the magic flame bugs, these bugs that are still in the parasitic stage have no strong resistance ability and have not shown any subjective consciousness.”
“But this does not mean that they will behave like this in front of the Balrog Mother. They are derived from the Mother Insect and should have a unique way of communication.”
“Although the Demon Flame Insect that was just released allowed me to learn about the Flame Demon Insect Mother, it is also likely to expose me and be noticed by the Flame Demon Insect Mother.”
Lu Xuan felt a trace of regret in his heart. He was paralyzed by those parasitic flame insects, and he did not expect that he might be exposed.
“Soldiers come to block it, water comes and earth covers it. Although the insect mother knows my existence, she doesn’t know that I also know its existence.”
“In a sense, the initiative is still in my hands.”
Lu Xuan looked calm and thought secretly.
