When Ye Kong saw that he was anxious, he laughed out loud and replied, "Uncle Shi, it's useless even if you say anything else. I, Ye Kong, am righteous, righteous. I take it upon myself to save humanity and kill all the poisonous insects in the world. This cruel termite is my target, so no matter what you say, it's useless. Ye will definitely not allow it to continue harming people! "
Old Man Shi sneered, "You make it sound nice, but I think you've seen a treasure and want to dig it up and raise it yourself, right?"
Ye Kong was exposed by the old man, and his face turned red. However, he was also quite straightforward, so he directly admitted, "Yes! I want to dig it up and raise it. If it doesn't survive, I'll sell it! This is called recycling, using evil for good. It's better than leaving it here to harm people, isn't it? "
"How did I harm people? My rule is to kill one Golden-winged Ant to pass. Isn't this a simple condition? How is this harming people? If you can't even kill an ant, how can you accept This Old Man's gift? "Old Man Shi snorted.
"Gift?" Ye Kong's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Where is the gift? What gift is it? How many spirit stones is it worth? Tell your uncle, don't think that my cultivation is shallow, I'm a true spirit stone moneybag. Don't try to fool me with trash! "
Old Man Shi snorted, "This Old Man has guarded this place for nearly two hundred thousand years. Do you think he'll guard a pile of trash?"
Ye Kong was shocked. This old man had guarded this place for so long, it seemed that the treasure was really extraordinary.
"Alright then, give me the gift, and I won't dig anymore," Ye Kong said.
"Dream on!" Old Man Shi cursed angrily. He had asked Ye Kong to keep the Golden-winged Ant Queen as a test. If he gave away the gift, then the Golden-winged Ant Queen might not want it anymore.
"Then I'll continue digging." Ye Kong used both his hands and feet, and very quickly, he dug a large hole in the gray stone wall. Inside, a faint white light could be seen.
"Young man, don't tell me you don't know the principle of leaving a way out when doing things? If you dig away the Golden-Winged Ant, then This Old Man's Five Elemental Spirit Gates will become Four Elemental Spirit Gates. " Old Man Stone's real body had already been destroyed, leaving behind only a wisp of his soul. He had no way to deal with Ye Kong, so he could only try to persuade him.
Ye Kong asked, "Uncle, how many gifts do you have?"
"Only one, of course."
"That's right. After I pass the test, you can give me the gift. Is there still a need for these termites to exist?"
Hearing Ye Kong's confidence, Old Man Shi laughed out loud, "You reckless little cultivator, do you think that these checkpoints are so easy to pass? Otherwise, why would This Old Man stay here for nearly 200,000 years? A newborn calf is truly ignorant and arrogant. "
"How about this?" Ye Kong thought about it and said, "Uncle Shi, I don't want your gift, and you don't want me to pass the test either. Send me out, and we won't owe each other anything. I'll leave the termite's mother behind, and you can pretend I never came. How about that?"
What Ye Kong wanted the most was to quickly go home and enjoy the happiness of a family with his wife and mother. No one had passed this test for 200,000 years, so he didn't believe he could pass it.
Ye Kong's suggestion wasn't bad, but it was immediately rejected by Elder Shi. "No, there's no other way to get out of this spell formation other than breaking out of it. Furthermore, I'm only left with a trace of my soul, so I don't have the strength to cast any spells. Otherwise, for an insensible little cultivator like you, hmph, I can poke you to death with one finger!"
"So you can't do anything to me?" Ye Kong laughed, "Then I'll just dig."
When he pried open another piece of stone, the golden-winged termite queen in the big hole behind it revealed her extraordinary appearance.
The termite queen was the size of a newborn child, and her entire body was snow-white, emitting a faint jade-like color. The termite queen's belly was still wriggling, and it looked like a new nest of termites was about to be born.
Ye Kong raised his hand and took out the spirit beast bag. This thing was refined by Patriarch Acheron, and it was empty except for a body-controlling bug. Every time Ye Kong saw this bag, he would think of Patriarch Acheron and remind himself that he must wake up Patriarch Acheron as soon as possible.
Seeing that Ye Kong was really going to put the termite queen into the spirit beast bag, Old Man Shi panicked and hurriedly said, "Wait!"
"What? You're willing to send me out? "
"I can't send you out … but This Old Man has another condition," Old Man Shi said. "With This Old Man's current ability, he can't send you out, but he can send you directly to the third door. Even if you pass through the Five Elements Spirit Formation, you don't have to pass through the next four rooms."
"I see." Ye Kong thought about it. In the first stage, if he hadn't suddenly thought of burning the Metal Attribute Termites, he might have died. If there were any mishaps in the next four stages, the gains would not make up for the losses.
But Ye Kong thought about it and didn't agree to Old Man Shi's condition. Instead, he asked, "How difficult is the third room?"
Old Man Shi knew that this kid was difficult to deal with, but he didn't want to lie, so he said ambiguously, "It's easy, but it's hard … so far, no one has passed it."
"That's easy?" Ye Kong rolled his eyes and gave him the middle finger. Then, he directly put the queen of the golden-winged termite into the spirit beast bag.
"Hmph, asking me to hurry to the third room? Isn't that asking me to die early?"
Old Man Shi didn't think that this kid would really take away the golden-winged termite. He was instantly furious. He didn't think that this kid wouldn't give him face. If his real body was here, he would have already killed him.
But then, Old Man Shi thought about it. In the past, there were thousands of cultivators who passed, but none of them came to dig the golden-winged termite. Why did one appear today? Could it be heaven's will?
In fact, there were many Yuanying ancestors who passed in the past. When the Nascent Fire burned the termite, the termite died. Once the door was opened, none of the Yuanying ancestors were willing to go back to dig the termite queen. Even if they did, they wouldn't do it because of Old Man Shi's words. As for those low-level cultivators, they were lucky enough to pass. How would they dare to go back and poke the termite nest?
Old Man Shi was a little suspicious. Could this brat be the person he had been waiting for? But thinking about the third room, Old Man Shi shook his head and sighed. Ordinary people really couldn't pass it.
"Young man, since you don't want to listen to my advice, then you're on your own." Old Man Shi sighed and his voice disappeared.
Actually, Ye Kong didn't mean to offend the old man. The key was that he felt that the golden-winged termite was so strong. If he subdued it, would it be helpful for him to pass the later stages?
But after he subdued the termite queen, he realized that he didn't know any insect taming spells. He didn't even know how to make the termite queen recognize him as its master.
He was a little regretful. Back in the Hundred Insect Stronghold, why didn't he learn some insect taming techniques? In fact, in the Hundred Insect Stronghold, there were many beginner insect taming books. But back then, Patriarch Acheron was very disdainful and said that he would teach Ye Kong in the future. But now, he was in a deep sleep.
Ye Kong cut his finger and dripped a drop of his blood on the termite queen, but it didn't have any effect.
"I'll think about it in the future." Ye Kong shook his head and walked towards the open stone door.
