"Cockroach?" Ye Kong looked at the black reptile crawling out of the zombie's head and lifted his foot to stomp on it. It was so disgusting. A cockroach crawling out of a dead man's head.
"Kid! What are you doing? " Patriarch Acheron's eyes were sharp. He pushed Ye Kong away and scolded, "You've eaten too little pig brain. This is good stuff."
"What's so good about a cockroach? You've eaten too much pig brain. "Ye Kong snorted and looked at the cockroach again. He found that it was different from ordinary cockroaches.
The hard shell of this cockroach was black and shiny. Under the illumination of the fireball, it reflected a metallic luster. It was obviously well-nourished. It seemed that there was still some oil in the dead man's head.
Another obvious difference was that this cockroach had a T-shaped horn on its forehead. It looked very imposing. It might be the king of cockroaches.
After the cockroach came out, it didn't rush to escape. Instead, it flapped its wings as if it was demonstrating to the two people in front of it.
"Damn, I've never seen such an arrogant cockroach." Ye Kong was very unhappy. He hated people who were more arrogant than him. Not even insects!
"You're the cockroach! Ignorant! " Patriarch Acheron rolled his eyes and said, "I'll teach you now. Listen carefully. This is a spiritual insect, the Corpse Control Insect. Look at the flat horn on its forehead. It's the main organ that controls corpses. It's very useful for those evil cultivators who like to use corpses to make a fuss."
"Corpse Control Insect?" Ye Kong wasn't stupid. He knew what the name meant. He suddenly realized, "Oh, that means your corpse isn't a zombie but is controlled by this little insect?"
"Yes! Otherwise, how can a 100,000-year-old zombie be so easy to deal with? "
"I see." Ye Kong nodded and said, "If I take this Corpse Control Insect for my own use, can I control the corpse through this insect?"
Patriarch Acheron finally smiled. "It's easy to talk to smart people."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and catch them! "
Ancestor Acheron stopped Ye Kong and shook his head. "Although the intelligence of this spirit insect is low, it is difficult to tame. It is useless to capture it. Only by capturing the mother insect or incubating the eggs will it listen to your orders."
"Then we'll wait for it to return to its nest." Ye Kong finally understood what Patriarch Acheron meant, but he was worried again. "Should we hide? If it sees us here, will it return to its nest? "
"Didn't I say that its intelligence is very low? Do you think this insect is as smart as you?" Patriarch Acheron said. He chanted an incantation and threw a firebird at it.
"Whoosh!" The Firebird cried out. It spread its wings and flew towards the Corpse Controlling Insect.
Insects were not afraid of tigers, but they were afraid of birds. When the Corpse Control Insect saw the firebird flying over, it was scared witless. It folded its black wings and fled with its tail between its legs.
"Quick, follow it!" Patriarch Acheron waved his hand to annihilate the firebird. Then, he and Ye Kong followed the Corpse Control Insect to see where it went.
The Corpse Control Insect passed through the ground and climbed up the wet wall. Soon, it reached its destination. Its two small claws quickly dug out a small hole and drilled in.
"Dig!" Patriarch Acheron always used his mouth and not his hands.
Ye Kong held the small sword Dharma artifact and didn't dare to use too much force. He pulled out the wet soil on the surface and saw a slightly large hole inside.
He dug along the cave and soon reached the end. He saw the Corpse Control Insect again.
"We're almost there. This insect is really loyal. It wants to protect its wife and child even if it dies," Patriarch Acheron said.
"That means it is no longer useful?" Ye Kong obtained the confirmation of Patriarch Acheron. He did not care about loyalty with insects. He raised his small sword and ruthlessly cut the Corpse Control Insect in half.
Ye Kong had heard that the insect's horn was a rare item, so he did not want to waste it. He took out a wooden box from his Storage Bag.
The wooden box was a bit big. This was one of the treasures he had collected from the Lu Brothers last time. Inside the box was a ten year old trash Spirit Grass Three Leaf Orchid. But this box was a good item. It was a thousand year old peach wood. Ye Kong had checked the relevant records and found that this was a good choice for storing insects.
Using the small sword to cut off a small piece of the peach wood box, he dug out a hole in it and placed the Corpse Control Insect's body inside.
Patriarch Acheron saw him do this and naturally felt disdain, "Hey, can you not be this stingy? Do you want to learn how to refine Yin Corpses? "
"No, I definitely won't touch those disgusting things. I deal with corpses all day, my mind is already twisted ….. But I can sell this thing. Those Yin Corpses refining people must be very rich."
"I think you've gone crazy from being poor. It's a good thing there are no outsiders, otherwise this old ancestor would lose face and treat something worth a hundred Spirit Stones as a treasure."
Ye Kong was overjoyed and his hands were very careful. Damn, old ancestor, aren't you afraid of the wind cutting your tongue? You don't even care about a hundred Spirit Stones? This is an astronomical number for this young master.
Actually Patriarch Acheron was only joking with him. If this thing was not worth money, he would not have let him do it. He would have already kicked it to pieces.
"Alright, quickly dig it. Once you dig out the insect queen or eggs, you'll really be rich." Patriarch Acheron urged him.
"That's right!" Ye Kong's eyes lit up. Once he dug out the insect queen, he would let it give birth to thousands of insects. Each one could be sold for a hundred Spirit Stones …..
"Damn, I'm rich!" Ye Kong happily continued to dig. After two or three times, he saw a fist-sized hole appear and a fat white insect that looked like a great green insect appeared.
"That's it, the insect queen." Patriarch Acheron said.
"Haha, I'll rely on you to make me rich!" Ye Kong happily laughed. He cut a piece of thousand year peach wood and picked up the insect queen's bloated body before putting it in.
Patriarch Acheron saw his careful appearance and found it funny. He said, "Are you planning to let it have a nest for its entire life and then sell the insects to make a fortune?"
"That's right! Old ancestor, you really understand me too well! "
Patriarch Acheron laughed. "Then don't count on it. This insect queen has a limited lifespan. After giving birth to a nest, it will kick the bucket. Haha, haha."
It seemed like the Old Ancestor Huang Quan really liked to see Ye Kong's disappointed look. He laughed with boundless happiness.
"If it can only give birth to a nest, how many will it have?" Ye Kong was the kind of person who would not give up until he reached the end of the road. He had to ask until the end of everything.
"One nest, two, or three. In short, there won't be more than four. And the more it gives birth, the lower the quality of the insect."
"Ah? What should I do then? "Ye Kong's dream of making a fortune came and went quickly.
"Don't worry, a good insect is of high quality. I'll teach you to cultivate a good insect of the highest quality." Patriarch Acheron encouraged him and said, "The storage bag can't contain living things. Later, I'll help you change the barbarian cultivator's storage bag into a spirit beast bag. Now … let's get down to business."
Patriarch Acheron's business was the Shadow Clan's treasure that he could not forget. Ye Kong held the box of the corpse controlling insect, and his heart was filled with excitement. What kind of treasure could make Patriarch Acheron treasure it so much?
This time, Patriarch Acheron did not let Ye Kong do it. He personally cut the zombie's chest and abdomen. The black skin was cut open like mud.
After cutting an opening, Patriarch Acheron's hand reached in and quickly pulled out a round, shiny bead.
The bead constantly transformed into a seven-colored hazy light, illuminating Patriarch Acheron's face. However, his eyes shone with excitement and greed. It seemed that this was what he was looking for.
"What is this? Is it a night-luminescent pearl? "Ye Kong moved closer.
"You're courting death!" Patriarch Acheron's expression turned solemn. He pulled the lapel of Ye Kong's robe and used it to wipe the stains on the surface of the bead.
"Hey, hey, hey, can't you be more hygienic? Don't think that just because you're naked, you can use other people's clothes to wipe! " Ye Kong said unhappily. No one wanted to wipe the dirt from a dried corpse on their clothes, right? How disgusting.
Patriarch Acheron did not have this awareness. As he wiped, he scolded, "Brat, this is just a small lesson. This is just a small lesson. Remember this clearly … The moment the treasure appears is the most dangerous moment … Even if you guys are still helping each other just a moment ago, the moment the treasure appears, it is very likely that the other party will turn hostile … If you don't raise your guard and continue laughing and joking like you did just now, you're dead meat if someone suddenly attacks you! "
After Patriarch Acheron finished speaking, he wiped his hands and threw away the dirty lapel. Then, he walked out, minding his own business.
After saying this, he said, "Burn the corpse."
This was a solemn tone that Patriarch Acheron had never used before. Ye Kong was startled. He raised his hand and threw out a fireball, burning the corpse clean. Then, he pinched his nose and ran out of the cellar.
The moon was as big as a table, piercing through the clouds.
Patriarch Acheron's small body was sitting on a fallen cage grass, looking down at the bead.
"Patriarch, did … did you want to kill me just now?" Ye Kong walked over and sat beside him.
Patriarch Acheron did not deny it. "Yes, I risked my life to get this treasure. How could I let others know about it? This level of treasure is worth betraying everyone, and it's worth everyone betraying me! So, if I don't kill them, they will kill me! "
"Then why didn't you do it?" Ye Kong asked again.
"Because …" Patriarch Yellow Spring suddenly laughed and said, "Because you're stupid and your cultivation is low, so you're useless. You happen to be my free labor, so I'll keep you for the time being. However, you should eat less pig brains in the future. If you become smarter, I might not be so kind." "That's right." Patriarch Yellow Spring suddenly laughed.
Ye Kong knew that Patriarch Acheron was purely joking. He laughed and looked up at the moon. Then, he said lightly, "In my hometown, I have many friends. Many of them are my brothers who grew up with me … But here, I only have you as my real friend. I'm not stupid. I'm smarter than most people, but I don't want to be so cautious of my only friend … If that's the case, wouldn't life be too lonely and boring?"
"Alas, you don't admit that you are stupid. You are saying stupid things again." Patriarch Acheron sighed and looked up at the moon. He said, "I don't know if smart people will become stupid after staying with stupid people for a long time. Even my brain isn't working well. Sigh, what a tragedy. "
Patriarch Acheron raised his hand and handed the bead to Ye Kong. "Keep it safe for me."
Ye Kong did not take it. He said, "Forget it. I don't dare to take this thing that is worth betraying anyone."
Patriarch Acheron scolded as usual, "Damn it, I don't even have a pair of pants. Where do you want me to put it? Besides, you have a share in this bead. If you don't keep it, who will? "
Then, Patriarch Acheron threw the bead to Ye Kong and said, "Give me the storage bag of that barbarian cultivator. I'll change it into a spiritual beast bag for you."
