Qi Wuzhen still did not summon her own altar. With her strength, she did not need to summon the altar to perfectly obtain its power. She flicked her hand and shot out a string of sparks as she waited quietly. A moment later, she waved her hand, and countless talismans fell like a rainstorm.
Strands of hot air rose from the ground, and a thick earthy smell wafted out.
Guo Shier asked doubtfully, "Is Sister Zhen trying to attract the earth fire?" Before he finished speaking, thunder could be heard from the ground. In an instant, countless Black Beetles crawled out from their nest. Before they could fly up, they turned into balls of flames.
Qi Wuzhen lightly shouted, and two fiery red hands suddenly appeared on both sides of the mountain. The two fiery hands grabbed onto the two sides of the mountain, and Qi Wuzhen shouted, "Open!"
Boom!
The entire mountain was forcefully torn apart by the giant hands, and it collapsed with a loud bang. Immediately after, the two giant hands pierced into the remaining mountain and forcefully tore open a huge crack.
"Creak …"
Guo Shier's altar almost fell down. This sound was too unpleasant to listen to, and it could practically cause one's soul to collapse. Falconer and the other two turned pale, and Nan You said, "I hate the sound of insects!"
The ground began to tremble violently. Suddenly, a huge head appeared from the crack in the ground. It was the head of a Black Beetle. Guo Shier said in a deep voice, "It's the queen insect, the queen insect of the Black Beetles! It's out! "
The ground was covered in a layer of black Black Beetles. They were suppressed by Qi Wuzhen's powerful soul, and not a single one could fly into the air. The queen insect of the Black Beetles was indeed a high-grade talisman insect, and it actually slowly crawled out of the crack in the ground.
Guo Shier and the others watched nervously, and Falconer said, "She doesn't seem to have any intention of killing them …"
Qi Wuzhen suddenly disappeared and appeared on the head of the queen insect in the blink of an eye. She slapped her palm on the forehead of the queen insect, and a fiery red talisman was imprinted on it.
The fiery red talisman flashed by, but Guo Shier could clearly see it. He said in surprise, "This is a control talisman?"
Nan You said, "It should be, but … there is only one control talisman, can it really control the Queen Black Beetle?"
The sharp screeching sound rang out again. Qi Wuzhen teleported into the air and performed two hand seals consecutively. Thousands of runes fell and merged into the Black Armored Wasp Queen's body.
The queen insect struggled with all its might, and its screeches were so piercing that Guo Shier had to fly up. He had already activated all the defenses on the altar, but even so, it was difficult to block this terrifying sound. He couldn't help but say, "If we encounter this black beetle queen, we don't even need to fight at all. Its cry will make us collapse."
A moment later, the queen insect's roar, he said, "I I, I, I, I, Black, and I, I, I, I, I, and not, not.
"Not," Qi., Guo said., "To.
Hawk Demon said, "I can't tell …"
Qi Wuzhen gently placed the red talisman on the queen insect's forehead and formed a seal. Suddenly, a dazzling red light flashed, and in an instant, a ruby-like inlay appeared on the queen insect's forehead.
"Activate!" Qi Wuzhen said softly. She landed on the queen insect's head with a talisman in her hand. It was a fiery red talisman the size of a palm. It was unknown what material was used to make the talisman, but it was flickering with a faint red glow. Qi Wuzhen shouted softly, "Activate!"
The Black Beetle Queen suddenly trembled, then slowly crawled out of the crack and let out a shrill cry. All the Black Beetles shook with it. Qi Wuzhen waved and said, "Come down."
Guo Shier put away the altar and flew down. The others followed and landed on the queen insect's head.
"Is it dead?" Falconer asked.
"It won't move if it's dead," Nan You said. "Can't you see that it's still moving?"
"That's not what I meant," Falconer said. "I mean …" He did not know what to say. He scratched his head and said, "You know what I mean …"
"I don't know!" Nan You said bluntly.
Guo Shier said, "It shouldn't be controlled after it's dead. Sister Zhen is controlling the queen insect's soul. This is also a method of controlling insects. Eh, Sister Zhen, a Level 14 talisman insect can be controlled like this?"
Qi Wuzhen smiled and said, "It's very easy. As long as you can suppress its soul and use the control talisman, you can completely control it. Hehe, I need a swarm of Black Armored Wasps, so I will control the Queen Insect first. These Black Armored Wasps can become my assistants."
"Forget it," Guo Shier said. "I can't suppress the soul of a Level 14 talisman insect. It's more like it can suppress me." Although the soul of insects couldn't be compared to that of beasts, and of course, it couldn't be compared to that of humans. After reaching Level 14, its huge soul wasn't something he could control.
Qi Wuzhen smiled and said, "With the Black Beetles, we can search for that lone traveler. Hehe, he will definitely be surprised."
Guo Shier finally understood Qi Wuzhen's thoughts. It made sense. If a high-level professional wanted to hide, even if Qi Wuzhen had the strength to surpass the nine-level altar, it wouldn't be easy to find him. He asked, "Can I completely control it?"
"No problem," Qi Wuzhen said. She then explained, "Once this queen insect is controlled, it can subdue an entire colony. Hehe, this queen insect … actually controlled more than 400,000 black beetles. Although I killed a lot of them, there are still about 200,000 left. That's right, there are still good things underground. You can collect them."
"What good things?" Guo Shier asked curiously.
"There are insect eggs. These things aren't very useful, but they are super delicious," Qi Wuzhen said. She had been with Guo Shier for a period of time and knew that he was a foodie. Falconer and Luo Zhan were similar. They were both groomed by Guo Shier. Only Nan You had been with them for a shorter period of time and had many different habits.
As expected, Guo Shier was overjoyed and said, "I know. Other than a few poisonous eggs, most of them are extremely delicious … I'll go down and look for them!" He flew down the crack. There were countless winding tunnels underground. Falconer followed closely behind him.
A moment later, Guo Shier found the location of the insect eggs.
It was a huge space. There were countless corpses of Aberrant Rune Beasts and Aberrant Rune Beasts on the ground. The insect eggs were densely packed on the corpses.
When the insect eggs matured, black larvae would crawl out and burrow into the flesh of the corpses. It was unknown what method the black beetles used, but all the corpses of Aberrant Rune Beasts and Aberrant Rune Beasts were kept fresh.
Guo Shier and Falconer landed, followed by Qi Wuzhen, Luo Zhan, and Nan You.
Luo Zhan sighed, "This place is really big …"
Guo Shier picked up an insect egg and praised, "What a beautiful insect egg."
