Chapter 432: Chapter 424 Clone_1

Who says only humans have a strong will to survive? This Mirage Insect’s will to survive is no less intense than that of humans.

“Besides you, are there any other mystical creatures or insects nestled in the valley?”

“There used to be some insects, powerful beasts, and birds, but now they’re gone. I ate them all,”

the Mirage Insect replied.

Who would have thought this extremely timid Mirage Insect was actually a killing maniac?

It had slain every living being within the Valley of Wronged Spirits, terrifying.

“Your body is so small, how can you eat so much?”

Qin Niu was obviously skeptical.

Its actual size was only as thick as an adult’s pinky finger; a single toad would be enough for it to eat for about ten days. And that was if it had strong digestive abilities. If it were a wolf, or a fierce tiger, wouldn’t it take a year or two to consume?

The prerequisite is that the corpses of the wolf or tiger don’t decay after being killed.

If left in hot weather, they would completely rot within a week.

“I can’t eat for long, it was my avatars that ate them.”

“Your avatars refer to that black mist?”

Qin Niu had very limited knowledge of Mirage Insects and had no clue that their avatars also needed to eat, let alone consume so much.

“My avatars are the insects inside that black mist. Can… can you ask your bee not to kill my avatars?”

It begged pitifully.

“Anyway, your avatars can’t be taken away, so if they’re killed, they’re killed. How many avatars do you have? Is it easy to create one?”

The power of Qin Niu’s Green Demon Bee was rapidly advancing, marching towards Grade Seven; asking him to call it off, was that possible?

Even when the Green Demon Bee was only at Grade Five, it was already capable of defeating Ye Ji without her being able to fight back. If it rose to Grade Seven, even those at the Spirit Qi Realm would be within its match.

At that time, Qin Niu would have another means to deal with Spirit Qi Realm powerhouses.

“Creating an avatar is extremely difficult for me; it was only by a stroke of luck that I got this one. Your insect wants to consume my avatar’s energy, I am willing. Just don’t kill my avatar,”

the Mirage Insect pleaded almost with a sob in its voice.

You could hear the helplessness and sadness seeping through its voice.

“I have been nurturing this avatar for many years, it has swallowed countless beings with the help of the toxic miasma in the valley to gain its power today, wuwu…”

It finally couldn’t help but weep.

It might also be playing pitiful deliberately in front of Qin Niu.

“Your avatar has been raised for so many years but is being rubbed into the ground by my Grade Five insect, it doesn’t seem all that impressive!”

Since Qin Niu planned to subdue the Mirage Insect, he would naturally spare its avatar’s life.

He was very curious about the capabilities of the Mirage Insect’s avatar and wanted to learn more from it.

However, in his view, the Mirage Insect’s avatar seemed all bark and no bite, just a silver wax gun tip.

“Human, don’t insult my avatar. If it weren’t for my main body being captured by you, if it weren’t for your bee which just happens to counter my avatar, a human like you, no matter how many you bring, wouldn’t be able to defeat my avatar.

All would only be devoured by my avatar.”

The Mirage Insect seemed to be very protective of its avatar.

It was as if someone had devoted their life to studying a certain field and took pride in that skill, and naturally, would not tolerate others disparaging it.

After hearing its argument, Qin Niu felt there was some truth to it.

The diverse talents and abilities of the Green Demon Bee just happened to counter the Mirage Insect’s avatar, hence it was able to consume the energy of the avatar.

If Qin Niu hadn’t captured the Mirage Insect in time and restrained it, the Green Demon Bee definitely wouldn’t have been able to defeat its avatar. In that case, the Green Demon Bee would have been the one killed.

“Can you create new avatars still?”

Qin Niu asked it.

“As long as the conditions are right, definitely. Currently, I should be able to control three to four avatars like this, and I can surely increase that number in the future.”

The Mirage Insect, worried that Qin Niu might use it to feed his insect, eagerly proved its potential.

“`

Hearing that it could control three or four such powerful avatars, Qin Niu’s interest was immediately piqued.

If it could control three or four strong avatars to fight at the same time, it might easily slaughter even Immortal Masters. Such a powerful creature stirred his heart intensely.

“Are you interested in becoming my pet? When the time comes, I’ll have a vast amount of resources and will definitely help you refine a few new avatars, making you even stronger. Moreover, I treat my pets very well, as I believe you’ve seen.”

Qin Niu risked his life to save the Black Spider Gu, and now he was letting the Green Demon Bee freely suck the Mirage Insect’s avatar to grow rapidly. He believed the Mirage Insect had seen all of this.

The Mirage Insect said, “I will listen to you obediently.”

“It’s not about being obedient, but about being my pet. Right now you listen to me, but what if you run away when I’m unprepared, or even turn to attack me? Then where would I cry?

Qin Niu directly exposed its little trick.

“Give me a moment to think, can you?”

Although the Mirage Insect feared death, as a magical creature, it was quite reluctant to become a pet to a human weaker than itself.

“No problem. However, I’m not very patient. Once you become my pet, you’re one of us. If not, you’re a potential enemy, and I might feed you to my insects at any time to prevent you from becoming a menace.”

Qin Niu’s Spirit Space was full anyway, so it was a good time to wait.

Once his Everlasting Spring Technique broke through to the Spirit Qi Realm, he would be able to subdue the Mirage Insect.

Compared with the Mirage Insect, that Fire Phoenix was obviously of a higher level and stronger.

So, he did not regret the large amount of Spirit Space occupied by subduing the Fire Phoenix. With a Fire Phoenix as a pet, he was now even capable of directly challenging the entire Black Tiger Gang.

As for the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect, he still didn’t know much about them.

Killing ordinary Immortal Masters should be like child’s play for the Fire Phoenix.

The strongest person in the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect was likely the Hundred-Tempering Child. How strong he actually was, would only be known to Qin Niu once he joined the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect in the future.

Currently, there was no enmity between the two parties, so Qin Niu certainly couldn’t take the Fire Phoenix and make enemies with the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect for no reason.

Deep in his heart, the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect was like the heavens—an existence not to be defied or offended.

At least, that was still the case now.

It’s like when he had first become an Insect Master; at the gates of Black Tiger City, any of the Black Armored Soldiers were beings he had to look up to, not daring to show the slightest disrespect. Now, after striving and continuously growing stronger, not to mention the Black Armored Soldiers of Black Tiger City—even the mid-ranks of the Black Tiger Gang—did not matter much to him.

Within the Valley of Wronged Spirits, the Green Demon Bee had successfully broken through to Grade Seven, and its increase in strength had not stopped; in fact, the pace had quickened even more.

Qin Niu waited patiently outside the valley, already overjoyed.

Grade Seven! The Green Demon Bee had actually advanced from Grade Five to Grade Seven in such a short period, jumping up two whole grades.

Following the current trend, it even had the hope of reaching Grade Eight.

If it truly reached Grade Eight, it would certainly be sufficient to deal with Spirit Qi Realm experts.

Elder Jiu Yin’s Taiyin Yaoyao king insect was Grade Eight, and back then, it had rendered Vice Gang Leader Bai helpless. Like a pesky plaster, it clung onto Vice Gang Leader Bai, constantly eroding his power.

With its formidable flying capability and various heaven-defying talents, the Green Demon Bee would become the worst nightmare for countless Spirit Qi Realm experts once it reached Grade Eight.

“Master Qin, it seems like most of the poison insects in the valley have been eradicated—should we hurry to the front now?”

Ye Ji lifted her head to look at the sky, unable to see the shadow of the camouflaged insects anymore.

Worried about the front line being overrun, she wanted to take Qin Niu there as soon as possible to report.

Ye Ji was a close attendant cultivated by the Black Tiger Gang Leader and was no different than a death soldier. She was determined to accomplish any task given to her by the Black Tiger Gang Leader.

“No rush!”

As Qin Niu entered the valley and faced danger, she hadn’t attempted to rescue him, which greatly reduced his fondness and trust in her.

Qin Niu was much stronger than her overall, so he wouldn’t possibly act on her orders.

In Qin Niu’s eyes, it didn’t matter if the front line was lost. His Green Demon Bee seizing this rare opportunity to advance to Grade Eight was more important than anything else.

Such an opportunity, once lost, was almost impossible to come by again.

The Poisonous Ants he had sent into the valley were sweeping through the area.

As there were no other creatures in the valley, this made the sweep by the Poisonous Ants all the simpler and worry-free.

An hour and a bit passed in the blink of an eye, and the sun in the sky had begun to set, with dusk soon approaching. Ye Ji started to show impatience, occasionally glancing at Qin Niu and then back at the sun in the sky.
