Chapter 1677 Blood Fire Ants
Chapter 1,677 Blood Fire Ants
In just one cup of tea, Lin Xuan flew countless thousands of miles, and a desolate island appeared in his sight.
Lin Xuan felt happy and flew over.
Naturally, he came here not because he had been practicing hard for too long and could not bear the loneliness, but because he wanted to test his current magical powers.
Soon, the island was clearly visible in his mind, but Lin Xuan paused for a moment, with a look of confusion on his face. Although this island was deserted and its aura was extremely thin, it was actually owned by people.
However, they are not cultivators, but mortals living here.
Lin Xuan sighed. Although in the eyes of immortal cultivators, mortals are like ants, their lives are not easy. Lin Xuan naturally will not disturb him and is about to leave. However, at this moment, there is a burst of exclamation.
But it reached the ears.
Lin Xuan was stunned and couldn't help but turn his head.
Only two mortals appeared in sight, a man and a woman, both looking to be in their twenties. Their faces were full of surprise and a little anxious, and they kept waving to themselves.
This scene is obviously intended to attract his attention.
Lin Xuan was a little surprised. Generally speaking, mortals rarely provoke immortal cultivators. Otherwise, most of the cultivators are moody!
Mortals can certainly gain some benefits from associating with immortal cultivators, but whether it is a blessing or a curse is actually very difficult to say.
Therefore, unless they want to use "immortal magic" to ward off monsters or natural disasters, ordinary people are willing to have no contact with immortal cultivators until life and death.
The other party actually took the initiative to summon him.
Could it be that……
Lin Xuan had a vague suspicion in his mind. Normally, he would not mind meddling in other people's business, but today he had just broken through the bottleneck, and he was in a really good mood. Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment, and then he landed quietly.
The two mortals were overjoyed and didn't say much. They kowtowed sincerely and sincerely, and the sound of "bang bang bang" kept reaching their ears.
"Okay, no need to be like this, why did you call me here?"
"Immortal Master, we are the remnants of the Canghai clan. Now we are facing the disaster of extermination. Please ask the Immortal Master to be compassionate and act righteously. Our whole clan will definitely be grateful and enshrine your immortal tablet." The man's deep voice came in.
His face was full of sorrow and fear, as if he had encountered some huge problem.
Lin Xuan sighed, thinking that he was just a mortal without spiritual roots, and his parents died young, and he experienced more sufferings in the world. Naturally, he knew that a mortal without fists and courage would want to survive in this cruel world.
Difficulties of life.
Just help a little bit if you can.
"Don't worry, let me ask you, have you encountered any monsters causing trouble?"
"I don't know either." The young man said blankly.
"What?" Lin Xuan's face was full of surprise, and then his brows slowly wrinkled.
"Master Immortal, don't be angry. My brother is a bit stupid. He even invited Master Immortal to be a guest in our village. I will let you know later." A gentle voice came into my ears, but it was the woman.
He came to the rescue for his brother.
"All right!"
Lin Xuan nodded. He had been practicing hard for two hundred years without seeing any human beings. It would be good to walk around in the secular world. Helping these mortals can be regarded as accumulating some virtue.
So the brother and sister respectfully led Lin Xuan to their village.
It is said to be a village, but its size is no less than that of a small city. There are actually tens of thousands of these mortals. After learning Lin Xuan's identity as an immortal cultivator, they all showed extremely respectful expressions. Lin Xuan could not do anything better.
Everywhere, people knelt down and kowtowed. No matter which interface they were on, immortal cultivators were extremely noble to mortals.
Lin Xuan was taken to the most luxurious building in the center of the village. The brother and sister did not follow him. They went to report to the elders. However, they naturally would not neglect the Immortal Master. There was a dedicated person responsible for receiving him.
This is a guest room, not too big, but very elegantly decorated. It is surrounded by antique murals and there are flowers on the windowsill. Although they are not precious fairy grass and Ganoderma lucidum, the fragrance is very fresh and elegant.
The maids had already served fragrant tea, and there were several plates of fresh fruits and vegetables beside them, all of which were the most delicious in the village.
Lin Xuan tasted it and found that it tasted pretty good, so he opened his belly and ate and drank. Soon, the sound of footsteps reached his ears.
"Master Immortal, can the villain Qin Zhong come in?"
"Um."
Lin Xuan snorted softly, and then the door opened with a creak, and an old man walked in from the outside. He looked to be about seventy years old. He came to Lin Xuan and paid homage.
"No need to be polite. If you have anything to say, just get up and say it."
"Thank you, Master Immortal."
The old man was overjoyed, but also a little scared. When he was young, he had seen several foundation-building immortal cultivators. Each of them had eyes higher than his head, and they did not take mortals into consideration at all. This person in front of him was so approachable, how could he?
It's because his cultivation level is too low. If he was just a spiritual cultivator, there's no telling whether he could cope with the crisis in the village.
He was thinking this in his mind, but this was just a guess, not to mention that even the spiritual masters were not something mortals like them could ignore, so his face was still full of respect and he did not express the concerns in his heart.
"What did you encounter when you came to me? If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. I don't have time to linger here."
"Master Immortal, it's like this. Strange things have been happening in the village recently."
"Strange thing?"
"Yes, the villagers who went to Nanshan to cut firewood disappeared for no reason."
"Did it get eaten by a wild beast?"
"This... I don't know, I don't know. After it happened several times, I even organized guards to go up the mountain to investigate, but they also never came back."
"Oh?" Lin Xuan was a little surprised.
If it is a ferocious beast or a low-level demon clan, there is no reason not to attack the nearby village, but as long as it does not go up the mountain, it will be fine. This matter is a bit strange no matter from every aspect.
"You're thinking……"
"There must be something terrible on that mountain. Although it has not yet taken the initiative to attack the village, people are already panicking. If this continues, we will definitely not be able to live on this small island. However, the sea is vast, and we are not immortal cultivators. We cannot be like this.
Where can you move to where all the immortal masters can move like flying in the clouds?" The old man said with a sad look on his face: "So I ask the immortal masters to show mercy..."
"Okay, you don't need to tell me, I already know what you want to ask me to do, and I will naturally help you investigate this matter clearly."
"Thank you, Immortal Master. Thank you, Immortal Master. You are truly a warm-blooded and caring person to thousands of Buddhists. Even though we, mortals, have nothing, we can express our gratitude, but every family will set up a memorial tablet for you to live forever." The old man's face was filled with gratitude.
explain.
"That's not necessary." Lin Xuan helped. He was just in a good mood. Naturally, he never thought about what he would do to a mere mortal in return.
He didn't intend to delay here any longer, and he would set off after understanding everything clearly.
The island is quite vast, but with Lin Xuan's escape skills, he naturally arrived at the so-called Nanshan Mountain very quickly. It was getting late at this time, and from the foot of the mountain, the vast mountains were covered with all kinds of dense trees.
A mysterious and terrifying atmosphere emerged from the plants, as if there was some evil hidden inside.
However, as Lin Xuan was a cultivator in the middle stage of separation and union, he naturally had nothing to fear, as his body flashed and he entered the dense forest.
After going a certain distance, Lin Xuan stopped and then released his consciousness.
The harvest was soon realized, and Lin Xuan's figure flashed to the left and flew away.
Several skeletons came into view, their clothes were riddled with holes, and there were some weapons beside them. If I was not mistaken, they were the guards from the village who came to investigate.
It seems that it is not like dying from the mouth of a beast, and the demon clan will not do this.
Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves and robe, and a ray of light flew out and took out a skeleton.
On the surface, everything seemed inappropriate. Lin Xuan injected mana into his eyes and used the upgraded Tianfeng Divine Eyes. His eyes turned silver. This time, when he looked at the skeleton, he suddenly saw something different.
Could it be that……
A look of horror flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.
Then I rested my chin on my hand and started thinking whether it was really that thing or whether I had expected it wrong.
I dare not say about other interfaces in the spiritual world, but the classics say that in the world of immortality in the East China Sea, that thing was already extinct in ancient times.
For a moment, Lin Xuan couldn't come to a conclusion.
After a slight hesitation, Lin Xuan continued to fly away deep into the dense forest. No matter what, he always wanted to find out what was going on.
If what he expected was correct, that kind of thing really thrived here. For mortals, staying here would be like sitting in the crater of a volcano.
Soon Lin Xuan found several more skeletons. These should be missing villagers. Lin Xuan carefully examined their remains, his brows became more and more frowned, and his original relaxed expression was gone.
Blood fire ants!
Is it really that kind of spiritual insect?
Lin Xuan secretly murmured in his heart that the blood fire ant was introduced to him for the first time in the Yuling Experience. Like the jade bee, it is a wild and strange insect, but its ranking is very low, and it can even be said to be at the bottom.
A single blood fire ant and a disciple in the agile stage can deal with it as long as they hold a good magic weapon.
In other words, apart from being able to devour the flesh and blood of mortals and beasts, a single spirit insect of this kind has no great use at all. It poses no threat to monks and monsters, even low-level ones.
However, this kind of spiritual insect is not really harmless to immortal cultivators.
A single one is nothing, but if there are many, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, or even when the number reaches hundreds of millions, overwhelming the world, then even those who are cultivating immortals in the separation and union stage will have to stay away.
A larger number can threaten the old monsters in the Dongxuan period.
The reproductive capacity of blood fire ants is the most terrifying among known spiritual insects.
Unlike other spiritual insects, its growth cycle is very fast, and there is no need to ripen it at all. The key is how to reproduce more numbers to achieve the effect of winning by quantity.
