Chapter 430: Chapter 422: Successfully Capturing the Original Body_1

The Green Demon Bee actually took the initiative to enter the black fog, isn’t that akin to suicide?

One must know that it was merely a Grade Five insect at the moment.

Qin Niu, due to the poisoning, had a dull mind and his reaction was extremely sluggish. Normally sharp-witted, he found no particular feelings when he saw the Green Demon Bee dive headfirst into the black fog.

He did not even consider the possibility of the Green Demon Bee dying.

After the Green Demon Bee entered the black fog, it did not perish but instead attacked the giant insect within the fog.

The body of that giant insect was as immense as a divine dragon.

In front of it, the Green Demon Bee was but a speck.

Yet this little speck was fiercely battling the giant insect.

True to its name, the Green Demon Bee, a miraculous insect with the potential to slaughter Immortal Masters.

Qin Niu had thought it was certain death, yet after the Green Demon Bee took action, the rotation speed of the black fog momentarily slowed down. He managed to widen the distance and then narrowly escaped from the valley.

“Master Qin!”

Ye Ji dared not enter the valley to rescue him and could only stand outside, anxiously watching.

At that moment, seeing Qin Niu tumbling and crawling out of the valley, she quickly went forward to support him, then rapidly helped him distance himself from the dangerous Valley of Wronged Spirits.

After Qin Niu escaped the valley, no new poisonous miasma penetrated his body.

The Black Spider Gu was quickly absorbing the existing poison within his body.

Soon after, his body returned to normal, and his mind also cleared.

“Green Demon Bee!”

As soon as Qin Niu regained consciousness, he instinctively checked on the Green Demon Bee’s situation.

Among all of his insect pets, the Green Demon Bee should be the one with the strongest potential.

Perhaps because it had hatched after consuming his blood, the loyalty of the Green Demon Bee had always been extremely high. This was why it would risk its life to dive into the black fog and save its master when Qin Niu was in mortal danger.

Its actions were quite reminiscent of a moth darting into the flame.

Even the bee itself probably had no clue whether it could survive after entering the black fog.

It resolutely dove into the black fog, and at that moment, it probably had no thought of surviving. It had only one idea, to block the black fog for a moment, to buy its master a sliver of a chance at life.

Its brave sacrifice was successful.

Qin Niu successfully escaped.

But it had fallen into the black fog.

Outside the valley, Qin Niu couldn’t see the situation inside clearly, only vaguely noticing that the dreadful black fog was still rotating rapidly.

Through the power of the contract, he could sense that the Green Demon Bee was not dead.

However, its situation was very dangerous.

The giant insect in the black fog was not a real Mirage Insect, but merely an image it had conjured, which could also be seen as an energy body.

The Green Demon Bee wasn’t afraid of the poisonous miasma, but it probably couldn’t defeat the giant insect.

After all, the Green Demon Bee was only Grade Five at the moment.

“I have to help it!”

Qin Niu had fought the Mirage Insect once and so wasn’t as fearful of it anymore.

Although the poisonous miasma in the Valley of Wronged Spirits seemed terrifying, he had the Black Spider Gu, so there was no need to fear being poisoned.

Because the Black Spider Gu could quickly clean out the poison in his body.

The more virulent the substance, the more the Black Spider Gu enjoyed it.

Qin Niu was very clear that the Mirage Insect was incredibly powerful, and recklessly storming in would end up with not enough pets to be killed by the Mirage Insect.

The most straightforward and effective method to deal with the Mirage Insect was to find its true body.

“Where exactly is this bastard hiding?”

Qin Niu forced himself to remain calm, quickly analyzing where the true body of the Mirage Insect might be.

After careful analysis and deliberation, he believed that since the Mirage Insect could control the black fog, it was likely nearby.

There were still a large number of Poisonous Ants that had not yet managed to escape the valley.

He could have them search for the Mirage Insect’s true body with all their might.

Due to the terrible poisonous miasma in the Valley of Wronged Spirits, other creatures would be poisoned to death upon entering the valley. Even if not poisoned, they would be killed by the Mirage Insect and devoured.

Such a special environment actually made it easier for Qin Niu to find the true body of the Mirage Insect.

Up till now, a large number of Cryptic Insects that had flown into the valley that day had been discovered.

“`

Apart from that, Qin Niu only had over 28,000 Poisonous Ants left.

So within the valley, besides the Wing-Hiding Insect and the Poisonous Ants, if a third type of insect was discovered, it was highly likely to be the Mirage Insect’s true form.

“All Poisonous Ants, heed my command and start searching for insects other than the Wing-Hiding Insects immediately,”

Qin Niu’s command was very straightforward.

All the Poisonous Ants immediately sprang into action, searching all over the valley for insects other than the Wing-Hiding Insects.

Qin Niu had made up his mind that he would spare no expense of his Poisonous Ants today.

As long as he could find the Mirage Insect’s true body, he did not mind entering the Valley of Wronged Spirits again.

As time passed, the saying “there’s strength in numbers” proved to be equally applicable to the Termite.

One of the Poisonous Ants found the target.

It was a black insect hidden underground. Its size was not large, only as thick as an adult’s pinky finger.

“All Poisonous Ants, attack the target immediately,”

Qin Niu commanded the attack without caring whether the black insect was the Mirage Insect’s true form or not.

Better to err in killing than to let escape.

One after another, the Poisonous Ants fearlessly bit at the black insect.

Qin Niu noticed a stream of swiftly spinning dark energy moving quickly towards the location of the black insect.

Is it trying to save it?

It seemed that the black insect could very well be the Mirage Insect’s true form.

This insect had a strong resistance to the ants’ poison.

After all, it was an expert at handling poison itself.

Living every day in poisonous miasma, how could it not be formidable?

“Drag it out for me,” Qin Niu commanded.

Among Qin Niu’s Poisonous Ants, there were Puppet Ants and Ghost Ants, amounting to roughly over two thousand in number.

This was a formidable force.

If the poison attack was ineffective, what about a mental attack?

So far, no insect had been found to be immune to mental attacks.

More than two thousand Poisonous Ants capable of mental attacks launched their assault simultaneously, causing the Mirage Insect to roll on the ground in agony before being rapidly dragged out of the valley by the ants.

Even the rapidly spinning dark energy, including the giant insect within, seemed to be affected.

The speed of the dark energy’s rotation noticeably slowed down quite a bit, moving aimlessly like a headless fly, advancing at one moment and retreating the next.

Veering to the left and then to the right.

The giant insect inside was akin to an idiot, staying still and allowing the Green Demon Bee to seize the opportunity to attack.

Qin Niu was elated upon seeing this.

Had he known that mental attacks were so effective, he would have ordered the Poisonous Ants to use this method earlier.

Soon, the Mirage Insect’s true form was dragged out of the valley by the Poisonous Ants.

Qin Niu had already been waiting for a long time.

It was a peculiar creature emitting dark energy all over. Its body had visible tiny sparks of electricity flickering across it.

The entire length of the insect was about twelve to thirteen centimeters, as thick as a pinky finger, with a complex pattern on its body surface, and its back was relatively smooth. It lacked poisonous hairs or spikes.

For example, caterpillars often have black poisonous hairs on their back, which, if touched, cause unbearable itching immediately.

The backs of Green Thorn Moths are covered with poisonous spikes, touching them results in a burning pain as if on fire.

Even frogs that eat all sorts of insects would go around the Green Thorn Moth.

If a frog even managed to catch a Green Thorn Moth in its mouth, it would spit it out immediately.

This thing, a curse for whoever touches it.

The Mirage Insect at hand, apart from the complex patterns on its body, did not seem to possess anything extraordinary.

Even distinguishing its head from its tail was difficult.

It had no eyes, no mouthparts, and both ends looked eerily similar. Under its body, however, were two rows of suckers resembling insect legs.

Possibly due to the immense pain of the mental attack, the Mirage Insect continuously rolled, twisting its body, allowing Qin Niu to easily see its insect legs and abdomen.

“I’ll confine you first,” Qin Niu said.

He promptly shut it inside the Insect Jar.

After subduing the Fire Phoenix, his Spirit Space was nearly full; he could not tame a new pet. Unless his cultivation advanced and his spiritual power surged, only then would his Spirit Space expand again.
