…
The green ripple insect was the king of the spore forest. The amount of wood elemental energy in its body was enough to dazzle Chu Yunsheng's eyes.
Although it had been consumed in the high-intensity battle, it was still much more than the amount of fire elemental energy that Chu Yunsheng's body produced every day.
After being nourished in the green ripple insect's mucus for a few days, Chu Yunsheng also figured out something else.
He was not an awakened human before, so his understanding of awakened human's abilities was only limited to the theoretical descriptions in the ancient books.
Since he transformed into a red-shelled insect, it was the first time he frequently used fire elemental energy instead of Ben Ti Yuan Qi.
With the help of the red-shelled insect's body, in order to find a suitable method for insect's cultivation, he did not know how many days and nights he had spent studying it. Although he did not achieve any practical results, after a few days of experience, he got some inspiration, and it allowed him to explore some things.
First of all, as an insect with fire elemental energy, simply replenishing fire elemental energy could only restore its strength, but it could not promote its body to a higher level.
In other words, no matter how much fire elemental energy he replenished, it would not improve its original strength.
Secondly, the insect could not directly absorb wood elemental energy. After all, different elemental energy had great differences. Therefore, it had to absorb something that contained wood elemental energy. The higher the quality of this material, the faster it could promote the evolution of the fire elemental energy.
The green ripple insect on top of his and Dumb Insect's head not only experienced a big battle, but it also only absorbed a small amount of wood elemental energy when Chu Yunsheng was "venting" on it. Even so, it was still enough to heal his and Dumb Insect's broken legs and claws.
Not only that, but Dumb Insect had also evolved.
But Chu Yunsheng didn't know what the problem was. Originally, he wanted to evolve first. Otherwise, he would not be able to keep his life.
However, the result made him very depressed. After Dumb Insect advanced to the next level, his body still didn't move at all. There was no sign of mutation at all.
He continued to replenish it for another two days, but other than the fire elemental energy, the second form still did not appear.
In order to not waste this rare opportunity, he had to transfer a large amount of wood elemental energy and fire elemental energy into the monster seal talisman, hoping that he would be able to gain back what he lost.
…
Just like that, Chu Yunsheng and Dumb Insect had been sucking the fire energy day and night without stopping. Luckily, Dumb Insect didn't need to sleep. As long as it had enough fire energy, it didn't feel tired at all.
Chu Yunsheng didn't know how much green mucus he had poured into the insect's mouth these days. If it weren't for the insect's strong body, he probably would have vomited many times already.
Now, as long as he saw something green, he would feel dizzy and nauseous.
Unfortunately, their absorption speed was very limited, and the energy of the dead bodies dissipated very quickly. Coupled with the fire elemental energy left by a large number of red-shelled insects around the green ripple worm, by the tenth day, the wood elemental energy had almost completely dissipated. What was left was just a puddle of ordinary non-elemental mucus.
But at the end of the tenth day, when he was planning to work together with Dumb Insect to open the tunnel, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. It was like his head was torn in half.
The pain came very quickly, and he didn't last long before he fainted with a loud bang.
Dumb Insect, who was standing on the side, didn't know what was going on. But when it saw Chu Yunsheng lying on the ground, its simple brain couldn't react at all. It just stood there anxiously.
…
After a long time, Chu Yunsheng felt that Dumb Insect was shaking him again. It was as if it was trying to shake him with all its might. His skinny body was almost going to fall apart.
"Stop shaking me, stop shaking me, look at my head, what's going on?" Chu Yunsheng was dizzy from the shaking, he weakly sent out a message.
He didn't feel any pain now, but he always felt that there was something on his head. It was very uncomfortable.
Dumb Insect looked at Chu Yunsheng's head for a long time in surprise. Then it started to panic. It pointed at the green ripple worm and then pointed at Chu Yunsheng. "It … it … it …" it answered in a confused tone.
Chu Yunsheng was frustrated. He forgot that Dumb Insect's ability to express itself was really low.
But its pincers were too big. He could only feel a protrusion on his head, but he couldn't tell what was on his head.
He calmed himself down and tried to use the fire elemental energy. As long as he still had the ability to protect himself, he didn't care about his image.
But he didn't expect that the fire energy that was circulating in his body suddenly rushed to his head. When he realized what was going on, it was already too late to stop it.
"Pop!"
A beam of red light was shot out from his head. It barely brushed past Dumb Insect's pincers and blasted a big hole in the huge pile of carcasses.
Dumb Insect was startled. It widened its eyes and stared at Chu Yunsheng's head in horror.
'What?'
Chu Yunsheng was also stunned. He had never seen a red-shelled insect with this kind of ability.
'Did I transform into a second form? Impossible! ' Chu Yunsheng knew that his body shape had not changed at all, not even a single shell had changed.
"Dumb Insect, don't move. Yes, just like this. Open your eyes wider and don't move." When Chu Yunsheng turned around, he saw Dumb Insect staring at him blankly. He suddenly had an idea. He used Dumb Insect's crystal clear eyes as a "mirror".
…
"What the hell is this!?" Chu Yunsheng was surprised when he saw a crack in the carcass on his head. There was a transparent half-shell inside.
He squeezed it hard, but the shell was still able to close. Then he squeezed it again, and it opened again.
"It, it, look." Dumb Insect pointed at the top of his head and stammered.
Chu Yunsheng raised his head. A huge transparent half-shell was hanging in the sky. It looked very familiar. It was clearly the enlarged version of the half-shell on his head.
Coupled with the red light he saw just now, Chu Yunsheng suddenly had an idea. 'Don't tell me the green ripple worm's thing has grown on my head!' Did I drink too much of that green liquid? '
But when he thought about it, he realized that it was not right. Dumb Insect drank as much as him, and he didn't see anything growing on its head, so why did it grow on him?
The more Chu Yunsheng thought about it, the more confused he became. 'His body is obviously an ordinary red-shelled insect. How could there be such a magical change?
Is it because of Dark? ' Chu Yunsheng was startled by this thought.
Dark did have the ability to devour other creatures and learn their knowledge. But even if it was still alive, it should be inside the monster seal talisman. What did it have to do with his current body?
Could it be that the monster seal talisman was blocking the devouring ability in this insect's body?
Chu Yunsheng started to feel that his brain was not enough to process this information. In fact, he still didn't know whether Dark was still alive or not.
Because of the information he got from the insect race, Dark should not be able to survive after it consumed its own body to transform into a prehistoric giant insect.
But because of the existence of the monster seal talisman, things seemed to have become very complicated. He could only wait until the original body inside the talisman was completely repaired.
However, although Dark could learn the knowledge of other creatures by devouring them, it was just digesting and absorbing the knowledge. It was really strange for him to directly transform the ability of other creatures into his own body.
Fortunately, there were too many things that he couldn't figure out, so he didn't think too much about it. Moreover, it was also a good thing that he had a new "weapon".
Although this wave of red light almost used up all of his fire elemental energy, its power could only be described as "penetrating". Not only was it far more powerful than the corrosive mucus of the red-shelled insect, it was even comparable to his sword fighting skills in some aspects.
Suddenly, an exciting idea popped up in Chu Yunsheng's mind. Since the green ripple insect's ability could be "transferred" to him, then what about other insects?
This was crazy. If that was the case, then this insect's body would be able to gather the abilities of thousands of insects in the future. How terrifying would that be!?
Just thinking about it made Chu Yunsheng shudder.
…
The red light blasted open a long tunnel on the pile of dead bodies. Chu Yunsheng and Dumb Insect, one after the other, used the pincer to widen the tunnel and smoothly returned to the ground.
But as soon as they got out of the tunnel, they were instantly shocked.
The spore forest was nowhere to be seen. The tomb was nowhere to be seen.
There was nothing left except for the corpses that littered the ground, layer upon layer, heaps upon heaps, unending …
Just when Dumb Insect wanted to make a hissing sound, its mouth was immediately clamped by Chu Yunsheng's pincer.
Now, they were the only two living insects. This was not the situation that they used to be in. If they attracted a monster from the spore forest that was still alive, they wouldn't even know how they died!
"Min … Wei … Min … no …" Dumb Insect sent a message to Chu Yunsheng in fear. It was a message that came from the deepest part of its soul.
Chu Yunsheng also felt that Min's summoning power had disappeared, and there was nothing in the space around him.
"No … No …" Dumb Insect's body was trembling.
Chu Yunsheng could understand what it was feeling at the moment. Since the day it was born, every second and every move it made was completely controlled by Min. Once Min, who was like a parent to them, suddenly disappeared, it was as if the sky had collapsed.
"It's okay, we will find it. Besides, there are still many Mins in this world!" Chu Yunsheng looked at the horizon and tried to comfort Dumb Insect.
Dumb Insect, on the other hand, looked at Chu Yunsheng in shock. It couldn't believe what it was seeing.
Whether it was Chu Yunsheng's indifferent expression or what he said, it was hard for Dumb Insect to understand.
"Alright, since it has come to this, staying alive is more important than anything else. You will know in the future. Look around and see if you can find any enemies that still have wood elemental energy!" Chu Yunsheng carefully climbed down from the pile of dead bodies. There was a ribbon-shaped flying insect's body not far away from him.
Dumb Insect was stunned for a long time. In the end, it lowered its head in frustration and followed Chu Yunsheng. Its body was now two times bigger than Chu Yunsheng, and its carapace was also much thicker and fiercer.
