Chapter 174 Success
Fang Xiao was in a dark cave, but it did not affect his observation of the situation inside the cave at all.
The entire cave is in the shape of a straight cylinder, and the stone steps spiral down along the surrounding rock walls to the deepest part.
These stone steps were obviously reserved for children. He had no intention of walking up them slowly. He immediately jumped up and fell rapidly towards the bottom of the cave.
The cave was not too deep, and after only a few dozen breaths, he had reached the bottom.
"No wonder they chose such an inconspicuous little hill. It turns out there is a magical spring hidden here."
In the center of the spiritual pool, there appeared a spring gushing out continuously.
Wisps of spiritual energy emanated from it. Although it was not very strong, it was enough to cultivate these poisonous insects.
Fang Xiao looked around and found that there was nothing else around except three stone doors.
He didn't intend to guess, and immediately raised his hand and shot out three streams of magic power, opening them all.
The situation inside the stone chamber was also clearly presented before his eyes.
There were three huge insect nests of different shapes, two were in the shape of a honeycomb, and one was in the shape of a tree hole, but without exception, all of them were built on the corpses of monsters.
Even though they have fallen for a long time, they can still feel the remaining aura of some high-level monsters.
"As expected, although these poisonous insects are of different species, the methods of breeding them are similar. They all use demon beasts above the Jindan level as the base of the insect nest. As long as the attributes are compatible, there seems to be no requirement for the species."
The situation here is quite similar to what is recorded in the scroll in his hand.
Not to mention using the corpse of a Jindan-level monster to build an insect nest, even capturing it alive would be a piece of cake for Fang Xiao.
It is not enough to just have the corpse of a Jindan-level monster. You also need to obtain the corresponding mother insect and build a nest on it to produce poisonous insects continuously.
The queen insect itself is extremely rare, and the lowest is the third-level poisonous insect. It will only produce the next generation of queen insects when it is about to die, and its productivity is low, often only three to five.
However, they will not live in peace with each other. They will start fighting each other from the moment they are born, devouring and stealing nutrients from their fellow creatures in order to increase their own survival rate.
This process is extremely taboo to interference from external factors. Many unbelievers choose to intervene in order to save more queen insects, but in the end they end up making things worse and no one survives.
Usually when the mother insects are replaced, the owner can only wait outside for the result. He should be thankful if only one can survive. Even if all of them die halfway, or even lead to the complete extinction of this kind of insect, it is a common thing in the world of Gu Masters.
Fang Xiao had already seen the three types of poisonous insects in front of him on the villagers of Qingshi Village.
They are the Fire Flow Gu, the Wood Healing Gu, and the Earth Attribute Blue Stone Gu.
The Qingshi Gu was the first poisonous insect mastered by their village, and it was also the origin of the name of their village.
"The three types of Gu worms, offensive, healing, and defensive, can barely be considered a small system. Although they may not be able to cope with all situations, if they are careful, they can still survive in this environment full of monsters."
At this moment, countless buzzing sounds suddenly rang out from the three stone chambers, and a large number of poisonous insects poured out and attacked Fang Xiao.
Obviously, without any special aura or means, the insect will regard it as an invader and will expel it.
However, there was no trace of surprise on Fang Xiao's face, nor did he have any intention of taking action.
He merely revealed a slight aura of a Jindan cultivator, and these poisonous insects seemed to be frightened and quickly fled back, but they still stayed closely around the insect nest, as if they were natural guards.
It should be noted that there are not only queen insects and larvae in the insect nest, but also a large number of adult insects living in it.
If the larvae produced by the mother insect are not implanted into the child's body in time, they can survive the larval stage and enter the growth stage or even the mature stage by relying on the spiritual energy in the spiritual spring and the essence in the corpses of monsters.
"It's a pity that they are all first-level poisonous insects, and there are only a few second-level poisonous insects."
Fang Xiao came here with the intention of catching the larvae, but if there were any third-level poisonous insects, he wouldn't mind taking them away.
Although without the guidance of a Gu Master according to the tradition, few mature Gu worms can reach the evolutionary stage on their own, there are still many exceptions.
It is sheer wishful thinking to think you will have such luck in a small bluestone village.
Even if there was a third-level poisonous insect, it would have been taken away by Sang Wu long ago. He would not be able to sit back and reap the benefits.
Fang Xiao didn't care too much about this. In his opinion, as long as he walked his own path, the future would be smooth and there was no need to go far away.
For him, the poisonous insect is just to conceal his identity. After all, it is a first-class external object that can be used as a protective object, but it is impossible for him to lose sight of the main purpose and become obsessed with it.
Without thinking any more, he used his own magic power to attract nine poisonous insects, including three types of poisonous insects in the larval, growth and mature stages.
Previously, based on the commonalities between the Gu Master's inheritance and the art of controlling insects, he had come up with some ideas, and now he wanted to verify them one by one here.
It is very simple to refine the poisonous insects, and Fang Xiao has at least dozens of ways to do it.
But what he wanted was to try to find another way and disguise himself as a Gu Master to cover up.
If successful, not only will your safety be guaranteed, you can even use this identity to infiltrate the eight major tribes and find out some secret information that is not circulated.
There were nine poisonous insects hanging in front of Fang Xiao, all waving their legs and struggling desperately, but at this moment they were just fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
He also quickly took action and began the first set of experiments on the Gu worms...
……
Sang Wu was extremely cautious as he took detours on the way back and forth. Unfortunately, he would never have imagined that Fang Xiao was already sitting in his lair, squandering his hard work.
Only after he returned to Qingshi Village and settled the three children who were still in a coma did he feel a little more relaxed.
"Fortunately, I am cautious by nature, so I can keep my Qingshi Village peaceful. If it were like the Qingchen Village, where the roots of the Gu worms were destroyed by high-level monsters and the village no longer produced fresh blood, then there would be fewer and fewer Gu Masters, and it would be doomed sooner or later."
Just when he was about to return home, he suddenly sensed a strong breath approaching the village at a very fast speed.
Just as he looked up, a giant six-winged insect had already flown above Qingshi Village, and they were none other than Luo Nan and his group who were rushing over from the Qingmiao tribe at full speed.
Then a voice came from the giant insect and echoed throughout the Qingshi Village.
"Sang Wu and Sang Mo from Qingshi Village, come out and meet me immediately."
Sang Mo and Sang Wu, who came at full speed, looked at each other, then floated up together and flew straight towards the giant insect above their heads.
