In the Insect Valley of Helan Mountain, Mofan and Mubai thought they could simply do whatever they wanted with their strength. They could take whatever they wanted and trample on whatever they wanted.
However, the world was much more dangerous than they had imagined, especially since everything had their own rules of survival. The strange Star Bugs had a strong ability to absorb souls. They had been absorbing the souls of the intruders when Mofan, Mubai, and Song Feiyao set foot in the Insect Valley.
If Little Loach had not warned Mofan in time, they would have only noticed the bugs absorbing half of their souls …
The valley was covered in an anesthetic mist. It was produced by the breath of a kind of Fog Leaf Insect. It was a perfect match for the strange Star Bugs. One was responsible for administering anesthesia, while the other was responsible for absorbing souls.
Once a person's soul was absorbed, it would result in irreparable damage. Mofan and Mubai had traveled extensively, yet they had never heard of such bugs before. They had no choice but to find the hive and retrieve the soul energy that had been taken away.
If one's soul was damaged, one's strength would be greatly suppressed. Even though they had taken everything back and even stole the soul energy stored in the hive, they did not want to deal with these strange insects again!
The Insect Valley of Helan Mountain was the true ruler of Helan Mountain. The battle between the Beijiang Blood Beasts and the Elemental Soldiers had provided them with a lot of "food", allowing them to fatten up their hive. The Helan Mountain had a complicated terrain with lots of cliffs, making it a perfect habitat for the bugs. Mofan and Mubai only realized how terrifying the Insect Empire was when they set foot in the valley!
Luckily, the bugs in the Insect Valley of Helan Mountain were not interested in humans. They rarely left the valley due to the natural advantages of Helan Mountain. Otherwise, the threat posed by the hive would be greater than the Beijiang Blood Beasts!
The bugs in Helan Mountain were similar to the United States during World War II. In other words, they had relied on the war to grow stronger!
That being said, even though it was dangerous, Mubai had also benefited greatly from the trip.
He didn't dare to enter Insect Valley because he wasn't strong enough. Back then, he estimated that he would only be able to walk around Insect Valley after reaching the Super Level.
In the end, they realized that it was possible to lose their lives if they tried to break through the Super Level. The Soul Aura that the strange insects had accumulated was a huge fortune, benefiting both Mubai and Mofan.
As the saying goes, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. This trip was not in vain.
…
After flying for more than a hundred kilometers, the strange Star Bugs were finally shaken off. The benefits of having a high cultivation were now apparent. When running, the hordes of Magical Beasts might not necessarily be able to keep up, as long as they were not blocked.
The three of them found a place to rest. Mubai took out some ointment and looked at Song Feiyao whose body was red and swollen. He tried his best not to laugh.
Song Feiyao took the ointment, obviously a little embarrassed.
The two of them were perfectly fine, but she was the one who suffered. She wondered if the stings would leave scars.
Mofan walked toward the river, trying to see if there were any signal towers nearby. He had no signal, so he had no chance of contacting Zhang Xiaohou and the others.
"Hey, hey, where are you? We've left Helan Mountain." Mofan turned on the hands-free mode and raised his phone, even though he was not sure if the signal would be better this way …
"Oh, you're done too? That's great. Where are we going next?"
"Huh? There's an ancient city wall nearby?"
"I have no sense of direction. It's useless even if you send me your location. Why don't we wait for you here? You can come and pick us up."
…
Zhang Xiaohou and the others arrived in less than an hour. They were not too far away.
Song Feiyao covered her face tightly, to prevent Ling Ling and Jiang Shaoxu from laughing so hard if they saw her.
Mofan pointed at Helan Mountain and said, "There's a valley of insects in there. It's very dangerous, but there's a lot of high-quality soul honey there. Come and collect it every few years. It's a great medicine to heal the damage to one's soul."
There were not many medicines that could heal the damage to one's soul, so the soul honey would surely fetch a high price in an auction.
"I've memorized the location," Mubai said.
Mofan was already considering telling Mu Linsheng about it. He would ask Fanxue Mountain to send some people over to collect the soul crystals of the strange Star Insects. That way, they would be able to suppress the overall strength of the valley of insects in Helan Mountain, preventing the insects from invading the cities close to Helan Mountain. On top of that, it would also provide Fanxue Mountain with a huge income.
Growing honey was a violent business!
That being said, Mofan was planning to visit the valley again to eliminate some of the insects. He was worried that Bai Hongfei and the others would not be able to handle them.
As a matter of fact, it was better for Mu Ningxue to visit the valley in person. The strange Star Insects were not afraid of fire, but they were afraid of an expert with the Ice Element like Mu Ningxue. If Mu Ningxue was leading the team, they could easily wipe out the entire valley.
Mubai was an Ice Mage, too, but his Ice Element was not strong enough.
"We've investigated it. The river stele is made of the same material as the ancient wall here. It was made by the same craftsman," Ling Ling said.
"Is it possible that the ancient wall is buried under the soil, making it difficult to find it?" Mofan asked worriedly.
"No, it's always been there. It's well protected."
"By the way, Brother Fan, the Northern Great Wall starts from the north of Helan Mountain. The ancient wall with the Sacred Totem Marks we're looking for happens to be between the ancient walls of Ningxia," Zhang Xiaohou said.
The ancient wall, the Northern Great Wall, the ancient wall of Ningxia …
Could the Sacred Totem Marks be related to the ancient wall?
Back at the Northguard Fortress, the ancient wall rose from the ground and formed a Heavenly Wall to fend off millions of Khufu Undead. Mofan still remembered the scene clearly. He was astounded every time he recalled it!
A Sacred Totem Mark that was related to the ancient wall? What exactly was it? Mofan could not help but look forward to it.
"Some of the ruins are buried under the soil. Some only have their foundations left. Some are just broken beacon towers. The ancient wall of Ningxia is over a thousand and five hundred kilometers long. Luckily, the part we're looking for is still intact. Otherwise, even an archeological team would struggle to find the ancient wall in such a short time," Ling Ling said.
"There's no time to lose. Let's head over."
…
According to the river stele, the part of the ancient wall was called the Cangling Wall. It was part of an ancient fortress. It was not part of the ancient wall.
The Cangling Wall had existed for a long time. It was just a small relay station during peaceful times, but it would flourish during times of war. It was not close to a river, nor was it located on a rich land. It did not have any ores or gold veins. There were no wars after the country was unified, so it was gradually abandoned. The only thing left was the ancient wall that was carefully constructed.
When Mofan and the others arrived at the place, they discovered some people were still living there. It looked like a small town. The people in the town were mainly merchants, exchanging resources.
