Chapter 156 Blazing King Earthworm
The days at Qibi Peak were as peaceful as ever.
Ning Daoran lives in simplicity, practicing, farming, raising fish, and feeding insects every day, and enjoys it completely.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye.
This year, Ning Daoran was one hundred and fourteen years old.
In the insect room.
“Shiss~~~”
Amidst the sound as light as gnats, flying star centipedes crouched between the meat and spiritual grass to feast. One or two would flutter their wings and fly back and forth in the insect room, dancing with their slender and enchanting figures.
‘Not bad~~’
Ning Daoran had a smile on his lips.
At this time, after two years of reproduction, the number of flying star centipedes has now multiplied to forty-two, and the patterns on the backs of the first four are getting denser and denser, showing signs of breaking through the ranks of evolution!
He tapped the storage bag lightly, and a green ruler flew out.
This ruler is a first-level medium-grade magic weapon that comes from layman Bai Ming's storage bag.
However, the middle part of the ruler was seriously damaged and was thrown into the storage bag by layman Bai Ming as if it were garbage.
For a moment, the flying star centipedes seemed to smell the aura of the spiritual energy in the magic weapon, and they immediately swarmed over.
In the blink of an eye, a group of flying star centipedes opened their mouths wide and bit into the broken magic weapon.
In about less than a cup of tea, only half of the ruler was left. As the material was chewed up, a large amount of the spiritual energy of the magic weapon was swallowed up.
‘That’s true...’
Ning Daoran let out a breath. It is recorded in the books in the library that adult flying star centipedes can not only eat magic weapons and spiritual weapons, but can even eat formation restrictions!
Therefore, if you raise a sufficient group of flying star centipedes, they can directly chew through a high-level formation in a short time!
Because of this, spiritual insects like the Flying Star Centipede are extremely precious!
Looking at the entire Eastern Wasteland cultivation world, except for the top ten immortal sects, it seems that no monks are still feeding rare spiritual insects such as flying star centipedes.
I really found a treasure!
Ning Daoran was very satisfied. These flying star centipedes must be fed alive so that they can be of great use in the future!
……
But at this moment, a transmission note flew into the small cloud formation.
Ning Daoran immediately rose into the air and held the transmission talisman in his hand. A message from the great elder Gong Yangyan came from it, asking Ning Daoran to go to the inner gate hall.
The main hall was deserted.
Gong Yangyan will make a long story short.
A spiritual stone mine of the Chaos Sect located in the south of Lingnan was recently attacked by a second-order early-stage monster, the Blazing King Earthworm. The formation was somewhat loosened. Lin Sheng had gone there three days ago.
Due to the scarcity of manpower, the inner sect decided to ask Ning Daoran to go to the Lingnan Lingshi Mine to guard the protective formation with Lin Sheng and repel the second-order early-stage monster.
Ning Daoran did his duty and immediately took Da Benlu and Xiao Heizi down the mountain to the Lingnan Lingshi Mine.
Half a day later.
There was a foggy atmosphere in the forest ahead. When Ning Daoran scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, he found that there was a lot of evil spirit remaining.
After flying over a mountain, he saw the Chaos Sect's sect flag flying on a mountain peak.
Outside the mine, there are houses connected one after another, which are the residences of the spirit stone miners and the sect disciples who guard the mines.
"Junior Brother Ning!"
Lin Sheng came out of the mine and said with a smile: "You're here!"
"Yeah."
Ning Daoran floated down, followed by Big Benlu, and asked: "Senior Brother Lin, how is the situation now?"
"It's not good."
Lin Sheng's eyes glanced not far away. There were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, all covered with white cloth.
"In the early hours of this morning, the Blazing King Earthworm attacked the mine veins like crazy. Not only did he kill many miners, but he even lost three of his inner disciples."
There was weariness in his expression: "By the time I took action, it was already too late. This Blazing King Earthworm was very cunning. He ran away immediately after seeing the Foundation Establishment Monk."
Ning Daoran checked the death conditions of several inner sect disciples. They were all killed by one blow, their bodies were smashed directly, and some were even burned black, which clearly shows how powerful the Blazing King Earthworm was.
"Got it."
Ning Daoran said: "Senior brother and all the disciples can just guard the entrance of the mine. Laolu and I will go take a look at the depths of the mine."
"Yeah."
Lin Sheng nodded and smiled: "You and Junior Brother Lu are both foundation builders. It stands to reason that one person and one deer can definitely crush the Blazing King Earthworm. However, we still have to be careful. I will send a few inner disciples who have completed Qi refining to follow. Are you going down together?”
"No need."
Ning Daoran immediately took the white deer and turned into an escaping light and flew towards the depths of the mine.
Inside the mine, there are twists and turns and twists and turns.
Ning Daoran spread out his consciousness and carefully captured all the breath of the Blazing King Earthworm in the mine.
Soon after, it was basically confirmed that this monster living underground is very good at digging holes, and it can feel the human aura underground, so every attack is launched from underground.
As for the attack and retreat route of the Blazing King Earthworm, Ning Daoran basically knew it at a glance.
"Brother, if you stop mining for the past few days, I will try to catch this blazing king earthworm." He sent a transmission note to Lin Sheng.
Soon after, Lin Sheng's transmission note flew down, telling him to be more careful.
"Old deer, Turtle Breathing Technique converges the breath."
Ning Daoran glanced at the big stupid deer and said with a smile: "Your shape-changing technique is so powerful, don't scare that monster."
"Ouch~~"
The big stupid deer raised his head and screamed, quickly using the Turtle Breath Technique, and suddenly the spirit beast aura in his body was reduced to the point where it was almost undetectable.
Ning Daoran also used the breathing method to reduce his aura to a minimum, and then slapped the storage bag, and array flags and array disks flew out.
After continuously playing spells, the formation flags and formation disks flew in different directions. In a few breaths, a second-level low-grade Canghai Xuanbing formation was completely deployed.
Ning Daoran planned to use this trap to trap the Blazing King Earthworm and bring him alive to the mountain gate, which would be an explanation to the great elder Gong Yangyan.
Next, it's just a matter of waiting.
……
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. The Blazing King Earthworm was still missing, and the big stupid deer gradually lost patience and stepped lightly on its hooves.
"Be calm and don't be impatient."
Ning Daoran gently touched the deer's head and sent a message of comfort.
Not long after, a strong evil spirit came from the depths of the earth.
"Coming!"
Ning Daoran's eyes lit up, and Big Stupid Deer instantly became energetic, his eyes shining brightly!
“Zizi~~~”
Deep underground, the sound of soil and mineral veins being pushed away came. Not long after, Ning Daoran's consciousness was locked on a huge creature.
It is really a second-order blazing king earthworm, a monster with dual attributes of fire and earth.
However, the sect's intelligence was wrong. Ning Daoran's soul was so powerful that he could see at a glance the true cultivation level of this blazing king earthworm. It was actually a mid-second-order monster, only one step away from the late second-order.
‘My darling…’
He couldn't help but feel a little scared, because Lin Sheng was lucky.
If this blazing king earthworm had not hidden its cultivation, Lin Sheng and the more than ten inner disciples would have suffered.
However, what is the purpose of this Blazing King Earthworm hiding its cultivation? Is it fishing?
He sneered and caught himself. This Blazing King Earthworm should be satisfied, right?
Tens of breaths later, the loud tremors of the Blazing King Earthworm's movements continued to be heard from the ground. Following the collapse of a stone wall in the mine, a second-order Blazing King Earthworm covered in fire appeared in sight.
"Get up!"
Ning Daoran activated the formation in an instant, and a sea of black ice formation suddenly rose up, trapping the Blazing Flame King Earthworm in it.
"Wow~~~"
The trapped Blazing King Earthworm actually made a weird cry like a slaughtering pig.
"Now, Old Lu, come on!"
Ning Daoran raised his hand and took out the Qinglong Spear from his storage bag, and walked side by side with Big Stupid Deer.
For a moment, the blazing king earthworm in the Canghai Black Ice Formation roared angrily, and opened its mouth to spit out fire liquid that filled the sky.
"Yo yo!"
The big stupid deer let out a high-pitched deer call, and the spiritual energy all over its body was sprayed out. It blocked a large area of fire behind its body. Then it lowered its head and dived, and a pair of antlers burst into light that was several feet long!
"Peng!"
Half of the bloated body of the Blazing King Earthworm hidden underground was also pushed out instantly.
Ning Daoran's body was in the air, eighteen layers of Evergreen Secrets were circulating, and the entire Azure Dragon Spear was wrapped in rich cyan wood-attributed mana. He instantly hit the Blazing King Earthworm's head with a fierce shot.
In the loud noise, countless evil spirits dispersed.
The Blazing King Earthworm wailed in pain, but its body was still violently twisted, and accompanied by a sizzling sound, its body seemed to be undergoing some kind of change.
"That's not right..."
Ning Daoran Dingqing took a look and found that the body of the Blazing King Earthworm was like a bamboo joint. Each node had a fiery red ring, and at this moment, the ring was constantly glowing with golden luster.
Moreover, a rich monster aura that is far stronger than before is quickly awakening in the body of the Blazing King Earthworm!
"Isn't it?"
Ning Daoran frowned, trying to break through the situation before the battle? Could it be that the Blazing King Earthworm thought he was the protagonist of a cool novel?
In his hand, he drew the Azure Dragon Spear continuously, and used the Jasper Saber, Qiushui Sword, etc. one by one. The one I killed was the protagonist!
Of course, none of the third-level magic weapons and the Shuiyun Golden Bamboo Sword Formation are used. These things that involve exposing one's own background do not need to be used in this situation.
In the blink of an eye, the Blazing King Earthworm evolved into a late-stage second-order monster!
It trembled all over, unleashed violent demonic energy, and continuously attacked the Canghai Xuanbing Formation!
"Junior Brother Ning!"
Behind him, Lin Sheng had already rushed over with a group of inner disciples.
……
Ning Daoran immediately put away the eighteen-level Evergreen Technique and replaced it with the eight-level one, and the Great Green Dragon was replaced by the Qiushui Sword. Senior Brother Lin should not be able to tell.
"Punch me!"
Lin Sheng's body was filled with flames, and he rose into the air like the protagonist of a novel. He punched the Blazing King Earthworm on the forehead.
"Roar~~~"
The Blazing King Earthworm roared angrily, raised his head and struck towards him.
Lin Sheng was so furious that he lowered his head, his whole body was spinning rapidly with the True Yang Furnace Technique, and he butted head to head with the Blazing Flame King Earthworm!
‘My darn… Tietou Gong, right? ’
Ning Daoran was speechless.
Senior Brother Lin Sheng is too fierce, and his fighting style is different from ordinary monks.
The Blazing King Earthworm was in pain, twisted its body, and retreated crazily.
For a moment, the Canghai Xuanbing Formation made a squeaking sound, and finally a gap was forcibly opened by the Blazing Flame King Earthworm.
"Roar~~~"
Unwilling to roar, the Blazing Flame King Earthworm fled away and disappeared deep underground in the blink of an eye.
"Junior brother!"
Lin Sheng grabbed Ning Daoran's arm: "Are you okay? Are you injured? Don't chase me. The aura of this monster is so terrifying. We are definitely no match for it!"
The Blazing Flame King was seriously injured. In fact, it was enough for Tudun to catch up and fire two more shots...
However, Ning Daoran was kept by Lin Sheng and could only watch the Blazing King Earthworm disappear deep underground.
"Ouch~~"
The big stupid deer raised its head and called out. It was a pity. It originally planned to fight the Blazing King Earthworm for 300 rounds.
Ning Daoran frowned, feeling that the Blazing Flame King Earthworm would come again.
Next time, it will have to keep its life!
……
One month later.
Ning Daoran miscalculated, and the Blazing King Earthworm never came back.
