Chapter 886 Three Corpse Insects
Qin Shan came to the bottom and stood in front of a fifth-grade spirit beast. The ancient mirror waved at the spirit beast.
A green shadow flashed past, and a ball of green energy slowly formed inside the ancient mirror.
"This rare treasure is called the Ancient Blue Beast Mirror. It is extremely valuable within the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, far exceeding ordinary low-level magic weapons."
"It seems that there are thousands of demonic beast essences being sacrificed inside. The physical bodies and souls of the spiritual beasts can be seen. Once any abnormality occurs, it will appear on the mirror."
When Lu Xuan was looking closely at the ancient mirror in Qin Shan's hand, the Lord of Qingmu Star came near him at some unknown time and transmitted a message to him.
"It turns out to be such a rare treasure. Thank you, senior, for informing me."
Perhaps it was because of Lu Xuan's pure spiritual energy of vegetation that Lord Qingmu seemed to have a good impression of him, and his words were somewhat cordial.
The ancient mirror in Qin Shan's hand has changed at this moment.
I saw the green energy turning into a green shadow. The green shadow was very similar to the spiritual beast that was illuminated. If you look closely, you can find that there are strands of faint black energy on it.
The black energy is very active, constantly swimming, appearing and disappearing in the green shadow.
Qin Shan stared at the black energy inside the green shadow for a long time, his brows deeply furrowed and his face solemn.
"Did Fellow Daoist Qin discover something?"
After a while, True Lord Thunderfire broke the calm and asked Qin Shan.
"Judging from the black energy, it is indeed the work of evil spirits, but no matter how specific the junior is, he cannot tell."
"The source of the black energy, its location in the spirit beast's body, and the solution need to be found by several seniors."
Qin Shan shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Thank you for your hard work, fellow Daoist Qin."
True Lord Thunderfire said to Qin Shan with an expressionless face.
"I'll try it."
Just when Lu Xuan was about to step forward to inspect the mutated spiritual beasts, Old Man Baishou suddenly spoke up.
With an expression of absolute confidence in himself, he flew up to a trapped spiritual beast, his throat twitching and weird sounds coming out of his mouth.
Lu Xuan took back his steps and stood quietly, watching the old man communicate with the spiritual beast.
He was not optimistic about the old man's move.
Spiritual beasts of fifth grade and higher have most likely refined their cross bones and can speak human words.
After losing consciousness, it is possible that he only remembers primitive instincts, but the sounds he makes are probably not normal bestiality.
"Okay, little friend Lu, feel free to check it out, there is no need to feel any psychological burden."
Lord Thunderfire nodded.
Everyone calmly watched Lu Xuan enter the spiritual energy shield, with no worries in their hearts.
The True Inheritance of the Great Sect and the True Monarch of Nascent Soul are helpless against these mutated spiritual beasts, and they can only get a few clues.
Lu Xuan probably wouldn't be able to escape this ending either.
Under the gaze of Tao Dao, Lu Xuan pretended to check the trapped mutant spirit beast, took out a spirit fruit from the storage bag, and forced it into the spirit beast's mouth.
"What are you doing, fellow Daoist Lu?"
Qin Shan couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Perhaps using the spirit fruit to close the distance with the spirit beast? Lower the spirit beast's defense?"
Lord Qingmu guessed softly.
"Spiritual beasts will not have much effect under normal conditions, let alone when they have lost their minds now."
"Totally unnecessary."
Old Man Baishou chuckled, with a hint of contempt in his expression.
In his opinion, Lu Xuan's behavior was just a pretense in front of the three star masters, and it actually had no meaning.
"Is it possible to find the crux of the problem by feeding a spiritual fruit?"
No matter what everyone thinks, after Lu Xuan and other mutant spirit beasts swallowed the spirit fruit, their minds focused on it.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his sea of consciousness.
[Silver Light Tiger, a fifth-grade spiritual beast, is extremely fast and can perform strange escape techniques. Its strength is at the forefront among monsters of the same level. It was invaded by three corpse insects and gradually lost its mind. 】
[Three Corpse Insects are a type of demonic insect that breeds in the body of mid-level and high-level evil spirits. It is derived when three corpses are killed. It is invisible and colorless, and its whereabouts are mysterious. It is difficult for Nascent Soul monks to detect it with their spiritual consciousness. 】
[Three Corpse Insects love monsters with strong bodies and simple minds. They can silently invade the bodies of monsters, merge with their souls, occupy their bodies, and use them as nourishment. 】
[After being soaked in the spiritual liquid of Zhiyang Lingquan, the three corpse insects will have nowhere to escape and reveal their bodies. 】
"Sure enough, it has something to do with the devil!"
"Three Corpse Insects... this is the first time I have heard of them. Judging from the description, it is indeed rare in the world."
"The stronger the physical body and the simpler the spiritual intelligence, the greater the attraction to it. No wonder it only invades the body of the monster beast. There is no abnormality in the monks in Tianxing Cave."
Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart.
