Guo Shier said, "It's very simple. It's very difficult for a mutated talisman insect to grow up when it's young. To other mutated talisman insects, they are a delicacy. Even their parents can't help but eat them. If they don't eat them, when they grow up, it will be their parents' turn to be eaten. Therefore, mutated talisman insects rarely survive."
Falconer smiled bitterly. "No wonder."
Mo Nier asked, "What's the next step?"
Guo Shier said, "We need it to grow again. It's best if it reaches the level of a rank 4 mutated talisman insect. Only then will the soul be slightly more condensed. At least a few more days. Once this saber shadow mantis evolves, we can extract its soul and refine an insect talisman."
This wait lasted for seven days, far exceeding the original plan. However, no one became impatient and waited patiently. On the seventh day, the saber shadow mantis began to shed its shell. Guo Shier praised, "Yes, equivalent to a rank 4 mutated talisman insect. I feel that this saber shadow mantis has already mutated and has the strength of a rank 1 talisman insect."
Mo Nier asked, "Will you start refining the insect talisman today?"
Guo Shier said excitedly, "Yes, this is the first insect talisman I've refined. Whether it succeeds or not, it will be memorable."
The Blade Shadow Mantis still didn't know that its doomsday was coming. It was currently devouring the shell that it had shed. The runes on its shell had completely changed. Dense blood-colored runes covered its entire body. The shape of the blade on its forelimbs was clearly visible. Two red lines were incomparably dazzling at the edge of the blade.
The more Guo Shier looked, the more satisfied he was. He didn't rush to start but continued to observe.
For half a day, he squatted down without moving. The others were also quietly waiting. They knew that Guo Shier was still pondering, so no one disturbed him. They all hoped that he would succeed.
Finally, Guo Shier stood up and said, "Alright, I'm going to start refining the insect talisman. Grandpa Nanshan, Uncle Falconer, help me guard. Ma 'am, help me."
Mo Nier nodded. "Alright, tell me … I'll do it!"
Guo Shier nodded. He threw a blank insect talisman in the air and said, "I'll release the saber shadow mantis. Ma 'am, you have to restrain it immediately. Be careful, its speed is not inferior to a rank 7 mutated saber shadow mantis."
Mo Nier said excitedly: "No problem, let him out!"
Guo Shier cast a spell and a white light flashed. The saber shadow mantis appeared in front. Mo Nier was extremely fast. Her fingertips shot out a series of purple runes and quickly wrapped around the mantis. Only then did everyone clearly see the Blade Shadow Mantis.
Its body was still three feet long, but its body was slender. Its snow-white outer shell was covered in bright red rune spots, and if one looked carefully, one could see that these spots were formed from countless tiny runes. Its triangular head had a pair of red compound eyes, and it was extremely beautiful. It had a pair of blade-like forelimbs that seemed incomparably sharp. Especially that bloody line on it, it was even more frightening.
Qi Nanshan couldn't help but praise, "What a beautiful bug!"
The blade shadow mantis squeaked and tried to break free from Mo Nier's restraint. But Mo Nier was a Saint Master. Dealing with a rank 4 mutated talisman insect wasn't strenuous at all. She laughed. "It's so strong. Hehe, if it grows another rank, I won't be able to restrain it."
Guo Shier laughed. "As long as I pull out its soul, I can accurately determine whether or not the saber shadow mantis has mutated. Haha, wait a moment. Don't let it escape."
He took a deep breath and spat out his Life Talisman Sphere. His hands shook violently, and in an instant, countless hand shadows appeared. It was as if ten thousand flowers were blooming, giving off a shocking feeling. The talismans flew out and quickly entered the body of the saber shadow mantis. The saber shadow mantis let out a desperate squeak. It seemed to know that it was in trouble.
Guo Shier's hands stopped for a moment. Then, the hand shadows appeared again, and then stopped again. This rhythm gave people a sense of beauty. Mo Nier's eyes were filled with amazement. When did this child grow to this stage? He was simply too handsome.
Guo Shier's face was unusually serious. As he cast thousands of incantations, his talisman sphere also shot out countless thin threads. They directly connected with the talismans and gradually entered the body of the saber shadow mantis.
Mo Nier didn't make a sound. She firmly restrained the saber shadow mantis so that it wouldn't struggle and disturb Guo Shier.
The thin threads extended from the talisman sphere and slowly pulled out a phantom from the body of the saber shadow mantis. The phantom was covered with tiny talismans. These were the talismans cast by Guo Shier. They firmly imprisoned the soul of the saber shadow mantis. Because the saber shadow mantis was still very weak, its soul was also relatively weak.
While busy, Guo Shier stretched out his hand and pointed at the floating talisman. The blank talisman suddenly flashed with a silver brilliance and shot at the soul of the saber shadow mantis. Guo Shier immediately chanted an incantation. Accompanied by the incantation, the soul of the saber shadow mantis gradually flew towards the blank talisman.
Qi Nanshan's eyes were filled with amazement. This was also the first time he saw an insect talisman being refined.
Gradually, the soul of the saber shadow mantis was integrated into the talisman. A dazzling white light flashed and the saber shadow mantis on the talisman slowly became real. Originally it was like a sketch, but now it was like a colorful oil painting.
Falconer asked, "Is it done?"
Guo Shier shook his head, "Not yet! Madam, you can loosen the restraints. "
Mo Nier heard this and withdrew the purple talisman. She smiled, "You will have to rely on yourself. Madam can't help you."
Guo Shier smiled, "The next step isn't difficult, but it's a bit tedious."
He once again took out the ancient assimilation talisman and extracted the blood-colored talisman from the body of the saber shadow mantis. Then, he transplanted the talisman onto the insect talisman and began the transformation. The transformation of the talisman was tedious. He had to remove the originally unsuitable talisman and replace it with a mutated talisman. It was a very time-consuming process.
After spending a full four days, Guo Shier's face was pale. Refining this talisman required a lot of effort. After all, he was only a Primary Saint Master. Refining such a high level talisman would naturally be a bit strenuous. Fortunately, his soul was extremely strong and it was enough to refine the insect talisman.
After the repair was completed, Guo Shier spat out a purple talisman fire and began to burn the insect talisman, fusing the spirit essence with the talisman shell. This was the last step. The higher the level of the talisman fire, the better the fusion effect.
Suddenly, he felt a wave of soul fluctuation. The purple talisman fire shone brightly and flickered for a moment before disappearing. Guo Shier cried out, "Ah? Fuck … it actually absorbed the talisman fire! Damn! This is the best talisman fire! "
Mo Nier looked at the insect talisman in surprise, "Was it absorbed by the spirit essence inside?"
Guo Shier smiled bitterly, "I don't have many talisman fires left. This is the best purple talisman fire. I didn't expect it to be absorbed by the saber shadow mantis."
Mo Nier smiled, "It doesn't matter. Your master and I obtained many good talisman fires in the Yanfire Secret Territory. When we return … I will give you some. Actually, the purple talisman fire is not the best … you should know that the best talisman fire is recorded in the inheritance. You just didn't notice it."
Guo Shier shook his head, "I know. It's the ancient spirit fire. It's too rare. As long as you can get a strand of it, you can use the talisman fire to strengthen it. But that thing only appears in the legends."
Qi Nanshan said, "That's not necessarily true. If you're lucky, you might encounter it in a secret territory. Be careful not to miss it … Many people who are active in secret territories are limited by the inheritance. Even if they encounter it, they don't know what it is. So it's better to learn more about the inheritance. It's good for you."
Guo Shier said, "I understand." He waved his hand and put away the ancient assimilation talisman and insect talisman.
On the snow-white insect talisman was a lifelike blade shadow mantis. Its body was covered with red runes. On its blade-like forelimbs, there was a very eye-catching red line. Guo Shier was very satisfied, "Let's see how it goes." He let go of his hand and let the life talisman ball absorb the insect talisman.
After closing his eyes for a moment, Guo Shier touched the life talisman ball. A white light flew out and the shadow mantis appeared in the air. It silently landed on the ground. Its movements were a little stiff. After a few seconds, it began to become agile. The Soul Insect ignored the crowd and spat out a stream of blood onto the corpse it had left behind.
The blood shot into the insect's corpse and quickly turned it into a white mist. The spirit insect sucked it in. The Soul Insect's originally slightly illusory body suddenly condensed and became clear and distinguishable.
Guo Shi 'er smiled and said, "We did it! Haha! "
Mo Nier said, "Yes, it's perfect. It's just a matter of whether it's a mutated blade shadow mantis or not. We'll have to advance to see it."
Qi Nanshan asked, "Shier, what do you think of its strength?"
Guo Shier said, "It's about the peak of a rank 4 mutated talisman insect. It's a lot weaker than the Dark Wing Magic Scorpion …" While speaking, the blade shadow mantis had already recognized its master. Its body slightly moved and appeared next to Guo Shier. Its speed was so fast that no one could detect it. Falconer was surprised, "Is this teleportation?" He had been standing next to Guo Shier the whole time and saw the blade shadow mantis suddenly appear in front of them.
The blade shadow mantis lightly touched Guo Shier's arm with its forelimbs and obediently stood still with a vigilant look.
Mo Nier's eyes lit up, "Wow, a newly made insect talisman insect already has intelligence. It's rare that it's a low level insect. Hmm, I think it's a mutated talisman insect."
Guo Shier said, "It can't be used now. It needs to be nurtured in the life talisman ball." Saying that, he took out a soul bead. It was the soul bead of the blade shadow mantis he killed at the beginning. He put it in the mouth of the blade shadow mantis and let it suck it in. Then he put the blade shadow mantis back into the talisman and said, "We can leave now. We've been delayed for too long."
Gua!
Boom!
A strange cry and a loud roar came from afar. Qi Nanshan said, "There's a fight!"
