Chapter 172: Poisonous Insect Mutation
Wu Yan stood at the door of the insect breeding room, with a look of confusion on his face.
The more than 10,000 "horned vipers" in the "horned viper" breeding room had successfully advanced to swallowing fifteen years ago, and transformed into more than 2,100 "dragon vipers". This "dragon head black viper" was born peculiar, with black gold-like scales all over its body, no longer than a foot, with horns on its head, and looks like a mini black dragon. It moves as fast as lightning, and each formed "dragon viper" has the strength of the peak of the Qi Refining Stage. It is conceivable that more than 2,100 "dragon vipers" consume a lot of poison and spiritual feed every day. If Wu Yan had not had that small furnace in his hand, constantly cultivating spiritual herbs and poisons, and refining poison and spiritual feed, I am afraid that these "dragon vipers" would have starved to death long ago, and how could they have grown to this day. After ten years of continuous cultivation, more than 2,100 "dragon vipers", 2,000 of which have entered dormancy again because they have absorbed and swallowed enough newly cultivated black viper vines, preparing for another evolution.
In addition, the "Dragon Viper" that failed to continue evolving somehow broke through the magic array of the insect breeding room when Wu Yan was meditating and refining Qi, and got into another insect breeding room, devouring the golden scale seven-inch snake that Wu Yan had just cultivated and was about to mature. When Wu Yan found out, it was too late. After these more than 100 "Dragon Vipers" devoured the more than 300 golden scale seven-inch snakes, they actually entered hibernation in the magic array that cultivated the golden scale seven-inch snake.
Encountering this situation, Wu Yan felt extremely distressed, but he had no other choice. All the snake eggs of the golden scale seven-inch snakes were hatched, and he had no place to find the snake eggs of this kind of spirit snake. In desperation, Wu Yan could only continue to cultivate the other four poisonous insects while checking the magic array of the "Horned Viper" insect breeding room and re-reinforced it.
For a period of time after the "Horned Viper" swallowed the golden scale seven-inch snake, Wu Yan was really busy and exhausted. He once again expanded the cave stone chamber for cultivating poisons and cultivated more poisons to maintain the supply of poison sources in the "Dragon Viper" breeding room to avoid evolution failure. The other four poisonous insects, because they have matured, the demand for poison sources has also greatly increased.
Five years later, Wu Yan's cultivation has also entered a critical period. He realized that his cultivation has reached the late stage of foundation building and is about to reach the state of great perfection. Although he has no experience in forming a pill, Wu Yan still prepared for it and took out the ten swallowing cloud pills that Master Jin gave him at the beginning, which are said to be best taken when breaking through the realm, and tried to break through the realm of forming a pill.
Unexpectedly, after taking ten swallowing cloud pills in succession, although Wu Yan successfully reached the state of great perfection in the late stage of foundation building, there was no sign of forming a pill.
Just when Wu Yan was extremely confused, the two breeding rooms had a change that caught him off guard.
After the dragon viper in the "Dragon Viper" breeding room woke up, it carried out swallowing evolution as expected. Two thousand "dragon vipers" eventually evolved into one hundred extremely black and two-foot-long "black viper dragons". The accident happened after these "black viper dragons" evolved. After the one hundred "black viper dragons" evolved successfully, each "black viper dragon" died strangely after laying four milky white snake eggs. What's even more bizarre is that the bodies of the dead "black viper dragons" turned into nutrients under the effect of the magic circle and were absorbed by the twelve remaining black viper vines in the insect breeding room, causing these twelve black viper vines to mutate and evolve. After the mutation, the rhizome of the black viper vine is only the size of a fist, and the vine tendrils are only the thickness of a finger, but it has grown four more vine tendrils, and the whole thing looks like an eight-legged spider growing on the ground, which looks really weird. However, these twelve mutated black viper vines are actually second-level black viper demon vines.
This change is not the most surprising thing for Wu Yan. The changes in the other insect breeding room really made Wu Yan feel incredible and shocked.
The insect breeding array in this insect breeding room was originally arranged according to the special forbidden array for breeding "Sky Devouring Worms". After the "Horned Viper" swallowed the Golden Scale Seven-inch Snake, Wu Yan was busy with the matter of forming the elixir and forgot to adjust the array in this insect breeding room. As a result, after the more than 100 "Horned Vipers" woke up, they rushed into the central insect breeding array, attracting the other four poisonous insects to enter the array at the same time. Without anyone witnessing, an evolutionary swallowing of poisonous insects that no one knew what kind of poisonous insects would be produced began.
Wu Yan closed his eyes for a full ten days, and these five poisonous insects also went through ten days of swallowing evolution. When Wu Yan came out of the closed-door and appeared in this stone room, he was stunned to find that all the poisonous insects in the five arrays on the four sides disappeared, and in the originally empty central insect breeding array, there were 110 fist-sized golden shell monster insects with black stripes and strange mouthparts.
This insect looks like a beetle, but it has a black mouthpart that is more than half a foot long and very scary. Such a weird-looking poisonous insect really scared Wu Yan.
Except for this extra scary mouthpart and the black stripes on the shell, the rest of this insect is the same as the "Heaven Devouring Worm". The mouth of the "Heaven Devouring Worm" is shaped like a turtle and snake. Although the end of the mouthpart of this strange insect is also shaped like a turtle and snake, the extra half-foot long black mouthpart is really disgusting and terrifying.
This insect has just evolved successfully, and the magic circle in the entire insect breeding room has been broken by these newly evolved strange insects. The terrifying and soaring demonic poisonous aura came from these 110 strange insects.
When the arrogant, treacherous and stupid Sanjue broke through the stone door of Wu Yan's cave and broke into Wu Yan's cave, they were also frightened by the more than 100 strange insects in front of them.
I’m afraid that no matter which foundation-building cultivator sees more than a hundred strange poisonous insects emitting the aura of second-level demon insects, they will be scared silly.
“Brothers, why are you all here?” Wu Yan asked in surprise, and took out the “Green Ox Bag” at the same time. With a thought, a green glow spurted out of the Green Ox Bag, covering the group of strange insects, and then retracted it. The demon poison aura that soared into the sky disappeared.
“Old Four, what are you doing? We thought you were in danger. What happened to the group of demon insects just now?” Mo Ao frowned.
“Hehe, that’s a new kind of poisonous insect I cultivated. It just evolved successfully. Even I don’t understand what happened. Hey, the three brothers have already reached the state of great perfection in the late stage of foundation building? This is really great. Have you tried to impact the Dan?” Wu Yan first laughed shyly, and when he saw the state of the three, he asked again in surprise.
Feng Hanxiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, Mo Ao shrugged helplessly, and Tian Qi sighed. The three of them didn't say anything, and they looked like they had something to hide. Suddenly, the three of them turned pale, and their bodies were shaky, about to fall to the ground.
Wu Yan was startled, and hurriedly took out three of his own secret detoxification pills, fed one to each of them, and then quickly sealed the cave door of the insect breeding room, helped the three of them walk out of his cave and came to the main hall.
After helping the three of them sit down, Wu Yan prepared a cup of diluted moonlight spirit liquid for them and fed them to drink. The three of them practiced qigong and breathed a few moments later, each of them forced out a large mouthful of black poisonous phlegm, and then they each breathed a sigh of relief.
"Old Four, why is the poison in your cave so strange and powerful?" Feng Hanxiao is a master of alchemy, and is very familiar with the properties of various spiritual medicines and poisons, but he was still caught without knowing it. This shows how powerful the poisonous breath left by the 110 poisonous insects just now is.
