Huan Jinzhi and the others were puzzled when they heard about the Spirit Swallowing Insects. They had no idea what they were. But in the next second, they realized the terror of these insects even without Zhao Ziyu's explanation.
At this time, tens of thousands of little flying insects flew out from the mountain crevice, forming a black fog in midair. They rushed to the stone crevice where the ancient cloud flower grew, and the stone pile immediately became dim. The spirit energy stored inside was sucked away, and like a fossil, it dissipated with the wind.
"What, what kind of insects are these? Why are they so terrifying?! "
Shi Yu's legs were trembling. He was the closest to the Ancient Cloud Flower. As soon as he finished speaking, countless Spirit Swallowing Insects formed a black fog and moved over. They flew extremely fast, and when Shi Yu came to his senses, he was already covered by the black fog. Even his body and face could not be seen clearly.
"Brother Shi Yu, be careful." Zhao Ziyu's expression changed, and he immediately slashed at the void.
The sword ray flew over the top of the stone fish's head, obviously afraid of hurting it. However, although the sword Qi seemed fierce, it only cut the black fog in half. A moment later, the gap was immediately filled up by the Spirit Devouring Insects.
"Ah … My Gold Spirit Armor was swallowed in an instant, save me!"
Stone Fish's shriek came from the black fog. His voice was filled with terror. Stone Fish was not a coward, but the swarm of flying insects was too terrifying. Anyone would panic if they were surrounded by them. Stone Fish was not a coward, but he was terrified.
Liu Jiao and Fan Yi also came to their senses, and they immediately attacked the swarm of flying insects.
A large number of Spirit Swallowing Insects fell to the ground and were killed by the sword light. However, more insects flew out from the crevice, like moths flying into a flame, and gathered around Shi Yu.
"Brother Shi Yu, I'm afraid we can't save him. Rumor has it that the Spirit Swallowing Insects are ranked twenty-fifth on the Divine Continent's Spirit Insect List. They are born in groups, and they will attack any spiritual body they encounter until they absorb all the spiritual energy in the spiritual body …"
"I guess these Spirit Seeking Insects were originally attached to the roots of the Ancient Cloud Flower to absorb the spiritual energy inside. In the end, we picked the Ancient Cloud Flower and released these insects."
Zhao Ziyu quickly introduced the situation of the Spirit Swallowing Worm, and everyone was horrified after listening.
A cultivator's body was almost full of Spiritual Qi, and even his internal organs and blood contained Spiritual Qi. These Spirit Swallowing Worms would never let go of a trace of Spiritual Qi. Wouldn't they devour people completely? This was simply a group of demons who would devour people without spitting out the bones.
Despair rose in the eyes of Zhao Ziyu and the others. They didn't dare to look at the stone fish anymore. Although they couldn't bear to do it, they had to give up on the stone fish. Otherwise, they would become the next target after the Spirit Swallowing Worms devoured all the stone fish.
"Brother Stonefish, I'm sorry. We really can't save you. If we stay, we'll all die."
Zhao Ziyu sighed. The next moment, he shouted to the others with a resolute expression, "The depths of the Ten Thousand Insect Valley are too dangerous. Everyone, follow me and leave."
They ran far away in an instant, but Qin Feng was still standing in his original spot.
Zhao Ziyu stopped and hurriedly shouted, "Young Hero Qiao, let's go, there's nothing we can do …"
The rest of them also stopped, their eyes filled with anxiety.
At this moment, the voice of the stone fish came from the black fog again, "Young Hero Qiao, let's go. I, Stonefish, am not a coward and won't implicate my friends … These spiritual insects are more terrifying than demons. The six spiritual armors on my body have all been devoured. I'm afraid that in a few seconds, my whole body will disappear …"
Qin Feng still didn't move. He had been thinking about how to deal with the Spirit Swallowing Worms.
He wanted to take out the Ranged Sniper and shoot it, but he was afraid of accidentally injuring the stone fish. He also thought of burning it with Heavenly Fire, but if these spiritual insects were flammable, the Heavenly Fire would also burn the stone fish.
After thinking for a long time, Qin Feng still couldn't think of a practical way. Just when he was at a loss of what to do, an ancient cloud flower leaf flew out of the black fog. At the same time, the stone fish shouted, "Young Hero Qiao, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm afraid I'm going to die. This leaf of a level six spiritual herb is for you …"
The ancient cloud flower leaf floated like a white cloud, and the situation suddenly changed.
The Spirit Swallowing Worms that had gathered into a dense black cloud flew towards the ancient cloud flower leaves in a frenzy. Stone Fish's figure appeared once again. His clothes had been devoured clean, revealing a body covered in blood.
"I, I'm not dead?" The stone fish was still in shock.
Zhao Ziyu and the others who hadn't gone far immediately rushed back, and the other three protected the stone fish. Zhao Ziyu's sword missed, and a huge sword qi condensed and exploded in the black fog.
A large number of Spirit Swallowing Bugs died, but even more Spirit Swallowing Bugs flew towards the Ancient Cloud Flower like mindless ghosts.
"Young Hero Qiao, leave quickly!" Zhao Ziyu saw a trace of hope.
However, he saw Qin Feng standing at the foot of the mountain less than ten meters away from the black fog. He looked like he was deep in thought, as if he hadn't heard Zhao Ziyu's shout. This scene caused Huan Jinzhi and the others to break into a cold sweat. Perhaps only Qin Feng could stand so calmly under the swarm of Spirit Swallowing Insects.
They were even more curious about what Qin Feng was thinking. He was so lost in thought that he didn't even care about his own life.
But before they could guess Qin Feng's thoughts, the black fog moved again, clearly swallowing all the Spirit Qi in the ancient cloud flower leaf. Everyone had just received an ancient cloud flower leaf, so they knew how much Spirit Qi was contained in the leaf. It could be seen how fast the swarm of Spirit Swallowing Worms were swallowing Spirit Qi.
"Not good! The swarm of Spirit Swallowing Worms is flying toward Young Hero Qiao. "
"Ai! Young Hero Qiao is one of the few genius cultivators I've seen, reaching the middle stage of the True Spirit Realm at such a young age. It's a pity that he was too confident and didn't guard against the Spirit Swallowing Worms. What a pity … "
"Senior Zhao, what should we do now?"
They were certain that Qin Feng was dead. Although they really wanted to save him, how could they?
Zhao Ziyu sighed in his heart. Among the five of them, Qin Feng was the one he had the deepest feelings for. After all, Qin Feng had saved his life in front of the Blood-eyed Poison Spider. Now that he had to watch Qin Feng die in front of him, the feeling was unbearable.
"Ai … Let's go!"
In the end, Zhao Ziyu let out a long sigh and fled with a swing of his sleeves. When he ran to the others, he found that they were all motionless and staring at one direction in shock.
When Zhao Ziyu turned around, his old eyes almost fell to the ground. The swarm of Spirit Swallowing Worms had already flown above Qin Feng's head. Qin Feng calmly took out an ancient cloud flower leaf and threw it casually. The swarm of Spirit Swallowing Worms immediately flew toward the leaf.
"As expected!" Qin Feng was pleasantly surprised. He had discovered the secret of the Spirit Swallowing Worms.
At the same time, Qin Feng also understood why the Jiang family only robbed the spiritual herbs. It was because the spiritual herbs could attract the Spirit Swallowing Worms and lead them to other places.
"What, what's going on?"
"I think I understand. The Spirit Swallowing Worms swallow Spirit Qi in order. They will first swallow the Spirit Body with the densest Spirit Qi …" Zhao Ziyu said in shock.
The others revealed a look of realization, but Liu Jiao frowned and said, "That's not right. If they first swallow the Spirit Body with the densest Spirit Qi, then the Spirit Qi in Young Hero Qiao's body will definitely be denser than that of an ancient cloud flower leaf."
Zhao Ziyu's eyebrows relaxed, and the solemn expression disappeared. He even laughed heartily. "Haha! Young Hero Qiao is really amazing. He's definitely the smartest and most courageous person I've ever seen among my peers … "
"Junior Sister Liu is right. Logically speaking, the Spirit Swallowing Worms should swallow Young Hero Qiao first. However, you may not have noticed that Young Hero Qiao has already suppressed the Spirit Qi in his body. It's definitely his first time seeing the Spirit Swallowing Worms, and in such a short time, he figured out the way to deal with the Spirit Swallowing Worms … He can still think calmly in a life and death situation. Even I am ashamed of myself!"
After Zhao Ziyu's explanation, the crowd was stunned.
They had always regarded Qin Feng as the person with the lowest cultivation. Everyone wanted to help Qin Feng when they were in danger. In the end, along the way, it was Qin Feng who saved everyone from danger. Even the formation door that led to the depths of the Thousand Insect Valley was set up by Qin Feng.
Qin Feng realized that he had made the right bet and let out a long sigh of relief.
He was not as brave as Zhao Ziyu said. Because he had the Astral Space with him, he had already prepared for the worst. If his guess was wrong, he would immediately hide in the Astral Space. At that time, he would not worry about the Astral Space being exposed. If he had made the right bet, Zhao Ziyu and the other four would have died here.
'Luckily, I made the right bet!' Qin Feng muttered in his heart.
However, he was immediately shocked when he realized that the Spirit Swallowing Worms' devouring speed was too terrifying. An ancient cloud flower's leaf was completely devoured in less than half an incense stick's time.
"Young Hero Qiao, come here quickly!"
Seeing this, Huan Jinzhi hurriedly shouted.
However, Zhao Ziyu had already moved. He slapped his skinny palm, and an ancient cloud flower's leaf flew far into the sky. The Spirit Swallowing Worms that were chasing Qin Feng instantly changed their direction and flew toward the ancient cloud flower like a dark cloud.
"Looks like Senior Zhao was right. Let's quickly suppress the True Vitality in our bodies," Liu Jiao said anxiously.
Criticism seemed to have thought of something and shouted, "I know! No wonder the Jiang family of the six-star big family, Drifting on Water, would rob us, and only the spiritual herbs. They must have also encountered the Spirit Swallowing Worms and found a way to deal with them."
Everyone nodded and agreed with Criticism's idea.
Immediately, everyone revealed a distressed expression. Based on the current situation, there were probably countless Spirit Swallowing Bugs in the deeper regions of the Ten Thousand Insect Valley, and they had only found one Ancient Cloud Flower in the Ten Thousand Insect Valley. Now that they had used up all three flower leaves, if they continued to explore like this, they would not find any treasures, and in the end, they would lose all their treasures.
"Oh no! We've given all our spiritual herbs to the Jiang family. If we encounter the Spirit Swallowing Worms again, won't we just be waiting for death? "Shi Yu realized the severity of the problem.
"Why don't we leave this place? This is not a place for cultivators below the Hollow God Realm. I suspect that even Body Condensation Stage cultivators will die here." Huan Jinzhi wanted to retreat.
Zhao Ziyu also did not plan to continue exploring. After all, there were only five ancient cloud flower leaves left. It was not enough for the Spirit Swallowing Worms to eat.
