Chapter 405 Silkworm King
Mrs. Xue knew that Ye Chunyang had his own purpose in staying, so she didn't ask any more questions. After putting away the Pixiu, she left as she was told.
Watching her light going away, Ye Chunyang stayed there for a while and then turned and walked into the low hills.
Mrs. Xue was already familiar with the route of the ancient tomb, and with the Pixiu leading the way, and she had taught her several spells this time, she could escape unscathed from the hands of the magic monks, so there was no need to worry about her safety.
Ye Chunyang chose to stay because he wanted to explore the ice and snow silkworms here. If he could take their silk and refine it into a magic weapon, it would be extremely powerful.
With his current cultivation, he could kill even a second-level ice and snow silkworm with one blow.
But before that, he needed to survey the situation here clearly, so as to leave a way out for himself in case of crisis.
As he moved forward, he released his spiritual sense to perceive, and found that although there was still some demonic energy here, there was no trace of the ice and snow silkworms. It seemed that they had absorbed the vitality of the dozen people and left.
After understanding the place clearly, he opened the jade gourd and took out a spiritual herb from it and transplanted it.
After the grass was planted, the whole low hill immediately exuded a faint medicinal fragrance, which dispersed the surrounding demonic energy a little. Ye Chunyang looked at it and showed satisfaction. Then his figure flashed and hid nearby with an invisible talisman.
This grass is the "Ningxiang Grass" that has the effect of attracting demons.
Since the ice and snow silkworm has left this place, it is not easy to find it. The only way is to use the special effect of this grass to attract it, so as to secretly observe what level the ice and snow silkworm has cultivated.
Under the cold wind, the range of the medicinal fragrance spread wider and wider.
Not long after, Ye Chunyang heard a "rustling" sound in his ears. He looked at the Ningxiang Grass intently, only to see the demonic energy permeating and several black shadows approaching from all sides.
Ye Chunyang's mind moved.
But when the demonic energy approached, he was a little disappointed.
What came was not the ice silkworm, but a first-level snake demon, full of poison. When it saw the Ningxiang grass, its eyes immediately shone brightly, and it rushed towards the grass with its tongue.
Ye Chunyang naturally couldn't let this demon eat the Ningxiang grass easily, so he urged the spell and prepared to cast a spell to kill it.
But at this moment, the ground suddenly shook, and a few creepy "hissing" sounds came from somewhere. A white light suddenly shot out from the forest, and the snake demon was wrapped by the light before it approached the Ningxiang grass.
An amazing scene appeared.
Under the entanglement of the white light, the snake demon struggled in fear, and then as if it had been drained of its essence and blood, its body quickly shrank, leaving only a layer of dry and wrinkled snake skin and two protruding eyes.
After the snake demon died, the "hissing" sound in the forest became clearer, and then a strong demonic aura gathered, and a long white worm appeared near the Ningxiang grass, swallowing silk in its mouth, two inches long, with tentacles on its head, and exuding a cold breath all over its body.
After coming to the side of the Ningxiang Grass, the insect did not swallow it in one gulp, but turned around in a circle, as if it was alert to something.
Ye Chunyang saw this and showed a little joy on his face.
Judging from its appearance and characteristics, this insect is the Ice and Snow Silkworm, but after taking a look, Ye Chunyang frowned and looked a little suspicious.
This insect is only a lower level of the first level, which is far from what he expected.
It only takes a flick of the finger to kill this insect, but such a low-level Ice and Snow Silkworm is useless to him. Judging from the silk net here and the more than ten corpses of monks, it is obviously not a first-level Ice and Snow Silkworm that can do it. There should be higher-level counterparts here.
If there are higher-level Ice and Snow Silkworms here, the Ningxiang Grass that is ripened by the spirit spoon will surely attract them.
After thinking about it, he waited in place.
At this moment, several harsh "hissing" sounds came from his ears, and bursts of white snow mist rolled up in the forest, and then Ye Chunyang saw a shocking scene.
The entire low hill was covered with snow-white. The snow-white color was not ice and snow, but dense silk. Following the first-level ice silkworm, countless silkworms of the same form gathered here.
Ye Chunyang was extremely surprised. Even though he had guessed that there must be more than one ice silkworm here, he did not expect that there would be so many. At present, there were so many of them, probably no less than hundreds.
However, although these ice silkworms were in groups, most of them had low cultivation, and the highest was only about the first-level middle level.
Ye Chunyang was slightly disappointed. His goal was the second-level ice silkworm. Although there were many of them, their cultivation was far from what he wanted.
However, since he had used the condensed fragrant grass to attract the other party, Ye Chunyang naturally did not want to return empty-handed. He immediately stared at the first-level middle-level ice silkworm in front of him, and the spiritual light flowed on his palm.
The silkworms were unaware of the disaster that was about to happen. The first-level intermediate-level ice and snow silkworm in front, which Ye Chunyang targeted, seemed to be the leader of the group. After crawling to the side of the condensed grass, this silkworm also explored the grass like the one that had just explored the way.
Taking this opportunity, Ye Chunyang waved a beam of spiritual light from his sleeves and chopped the silkworm down without saying a word.
The light in the sky increased greatly, and the silkworms seemed to realize something, and they all raised their heads and stared.
But before they understood what happened, there was a sudden "boom".
The first-level intermediate-level ice and snow silkworm leader in front was directly split in half by the spiritual light, and then the light rolled up again, sucking its head away.
Seeing this, how could the silkworms not understand that they had fallen into someone else's trap? In anger, they all ran towards the direction where the spiritual light rolled, spewing silk from their mouths, and attacked overwhelmingly.
Ye Chunyang didn't take these low-level ice and snow silkworms seriously at all. After taking the leader's head, he casually threw out a spirit beast bag. After a buzzing sound, a large dark cloud appeared in the sky, and hundreds of demon-eating insects pounced down. In a short while, all the silk was eaten clean.
The group of Gu did not stop there. After swallowing the flying silkworms, Ye Chunyang pressed the spell and pounced on the ice and snow silkworms again.
Although there were many ice and snow silkworms, they were no match for the devouring power of the demon-eating Gu. With a shrill scream, all the silkworms were wiped out in the blink of an eye, leaving only the snow-white silkworm skins on the ground.
After doing this, Ye Chunyang took back the group of Gu as if nothing had happened, and at the same time sealed the head of the Ice and Snow Silkworm leader with magic power.
The ability of ice and snow silkworms to spin silk is concentrated in their heads. As long as they are taken back and refined, they will naturally be able to obtain sharp silk. When the time comes, they can find some auxiliary materials to refine a powerful magic weapon.
Although this silkworm is of a lower level, the magic weapon formed through the cultivation of spiritual ascension techniques should be of a higher level than the green silk silkworm.
After all, ice and snow silkworms are hard to find outside, so Ye Chunyang naturally doesn't want to miss them.
Taking one last look at the annihilated swarm of silkworms, he no longer hesitated and activated his magic power to leave.
But at this moment, his expression suddenly condensed, his expression turned cold, and he suddenly jumped up, standing in mid-air and squinting his eyes, looking down.
Changes occurred in the hills, the earth trembled, the ice covering the surface cracked one after another, countless debris flew into the sky, and a fierce evil spirit suddenly approached, covering the place in the blink of an eye.
With a quick glance, he saw a giant insect leaping out from the ground.
This insect has a demonic aura, and its appearance is no different from other ice and snow silkworms, but its size is several times larger than the previous swarm of silkworms. The silk mesh it swallows in its mouth is substantial. Once it is released, the surrounding spiritual energy is blocked.
After the insect appeared, its two snow eyes swept around. When it saw the silkworm skins on the ground, its body shook wildly. Then it looked at Ye Chunyang in the air, and a majestic aura was exuding from its body.
It was obvious that the destruction of his kind was caused by this person.
Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows slightly. This silkworm has reached the middle level of the second level. Its size and aura are far superior to other ice and snow silkworms. Could it be the king of silkworms?
From this point of view, the dozen or so monks who were previously entangled in the silk net and sucked blood essence were also caused by the Silkworm King.
His heart sank. This silkworm's cultivation level was comparable to that of an immortal cultivator in the middle stage of magic power. Its strength was far above that of ordinary ice and snow silkworms. It would take a lot of effort to deal with it.
However, if this silkworm can be killed and its silk is refined, the level of the magic weapon will be much higher than that of the Ice and Snow Silkworm leader.
After thinking about it in an instant, Ye Chunyang had made up his mind.
Although this silkworm king is more difficult to deal with than ordinary ice and snow silkworms, it is not invincible to him. Before the beast has regained consciousness, his sleeves and robes flicked, and the spirit beast bag containing the demon-eating Gu was opened again. It swooped out like a locust passing by and attacked the Silkworm King in an instant.
Then he pressed his abdomen with one hand, and after a flash of white light in his Dantian, Liuwuhan Yuanding spun out, suppressing it downwards with astonishing gravity. With a "rumbling" explosion, the place where the Silkworm King was collapsed crazily. , splashing with flying snow.
Under the repeated attacks, even the monks in the middle stage of magic power were unable to resist.
The Silkworm King was also shocked by this. He never expected that a monk in the early stage of magic power could have such amazing methods. What was even more unexpected was that after the group of Gu flew in, there was a blazing white light in the giant cauldron. Flames spread out and surrounded him.
But what surprised Ye Chunyang was that after the silkworm was briefly surprised, the huge insect body suddenly swung. After a loud "bang", the Liuwuhan Yuanding was thrown away and flew far away.
At the same time, it slapped its giant tail, shaking away the group of Gu, and suddenly flew into the sky.
Ye Chunyang's pupils shrank. This silkworm not only had the power of soaring clouds, but also had amazing defense. It could even break away from a group of Gu.
However, looking at the blood splashing as it flew into the air, it was obvious that it had suffered a lot from the attack just now.
When Ye Chunyang was surprised, the silkworm flew behind him in the blink of an eye. He vomited profusely in his mouth, and the sharp silk turned into a giant white net to cover him.
Although he was not afraid of this beast, Ye Chunyang was not careless in the slightest. Seeing that under the screen, he fired a spell in the air, and a group of Gu immediately roared towards him, forming a large cloud of insects in front of him.
At the same time, his magic formula changed rapidly, and the group of Gu immediately began to swim in the silk net. Then the Silkworm King was surprised to find that after the group of Gu circled, the silk net that spurted out was swallowed up in the blink of an eye like a wind and the remaining clouds.
The Silkworm King was extremely frightened and furious. It flashed almost like a teleport and disappeared from the spot. When it appeared, it was already in the sky above Ye Chunyang, opening its mouth to bite him.
He actually wanted to swallow it into his belly in the most ferocious way.
But at this moment, there was a loud "dong" sound, and strong sound waves swept across a radius of ten miles. A big bell suddenly appeared in the sky. The thunderous sound of the bell directly shook the King of Silkworms back several feet, and the silkworm skins around him exploded one by one. Open, blood falls like rain.
