Chapter 173 The Gold-Eating Insect King
At this moment, Yang Pingan was shocked. He never expected to find a large group of gold-eating insects here.
The gold-eating insect can be said to be a very good soul beast, but its number is very rare. It usually lives in some special metal mines.
But the gold-eating bug has a very big disadvantage, that is, it grows very slowly, and it mainly relies on swallowing metal to grow. Of course, it also occasionally swallows some soul beasts.
Due to this characteristic of gold-eating bugs, they generally do not grow to a very high age. Many of them can only grow to a thousand years. Even if they are just ten thousand years old, they are already among the gold-eating bugs. The best.
Due to the need to devour metal, the Gold Devouring Insect is very powerful and can lift several times or even dozens of times the weight of its own body. In terms of pure strength increase, it even exceeds the Thousand Jun Ants.
Moreover, the gold-eating insect has two wings and can fly for a short period of time. The mouthparts in its mouth are very sharp and can bite open metal, and can even release some kind of mucus to soften the metal.
No matter how you look at it, gold-eating insects can be called the best metallic soul beasts and power-attributed soul beasts. However, it is basically difficult for senior soul masters to find gold-eating insects that are more than ten thousand years old.
The large group of gold-eating insects in front of him made Yang Ping'an's eyes light up. Now that ten thousand-year-old gold-eating insects have been discovered, it is obvious that there are definitely older gold-eating insects in the deepest part of this dark grid, and even The Gold-eating Insect King is not sure.
In particular, there is another point. Although the Gold Devouring Insect is an insect-like soul beast, it is also a flying soul beast. This is one of the goals that Yang Ping'an has been pursuing.
After all, according to the configuration of Shrek's Golden Iron Triangle, Flanders, the four-eyed owl, is also indispensable, and the key point is to provide Luo Sanpao with wings and flight capabilities.
Metallic flying soul beasts are extremely rare, which is also one of Yang Ping'an's biggest goals.
After a large number of gold-eating insects left, Li Gui took Yang Pingan and continued to sneak deeper.
After passing several waves of gold-eating insects, Yang Pingan and Li Gui were stunned by the scene in front of them.
Originally, normal gold-eating bugs are smaller in size. A ten-year-old gold-eating bug is only about three inches long. A century-old gold-eating bug is only six inches long. It takes a thousand years to reach one foot, or even ten thousand years. It reaches about two feet.
But here is a huge lair, which can even be said to be a huge metal mine.
In the center is a huge gold-eating insect, with a body length of one meter and one meter. It is estimated to be around 33,000 years old. Its whole body is golden and it has eight sprouts. He only has shorter little hands, but his whole body is golden, a bit similar to the original Golden Crocodile King.
What is different from ordinary gold-eating bugs is that the normal gold-eating bug only has a pair of wings, but this gold-eating bug actually has six wings on its back, and the wings have changed from ordinary silver-gray to The color was golden, and the six wings looked extremely powerful, even illusory, a bit like Tang San's Poseidon Eight Wings and Bibi Dong's Six Purple Light Wings in the original work.
Yang Pingan and Li Gui looked at each other and quietly turned into ghosts and left the place.
After the two of them left a certain distance, they also used their claws to cut a small cave and began to plan something.
Li Gui was a little hesitant at this moment: "Ping An, the age of this gold-eating insect king has reached 33,000 years. It is far beyond the limit of the fifth soul ring. It can even be said to have exceeded the limit of the sixth soul ring. You My body may not be able to absorb it at all.”
“And this Gold-eating Insect King. He is obviously very powerful. In terms of pure strength, he is probably not weaker than some 70,000-year-old soul beasts. Especially with his thick golden armor, his defensive power is also very amazing."
Yang. Ping An was silent for a while, thinking carefully about the situation of the Gold-Eating Insect King.
Normally speaking, apart from the Star Forest, gold-eating insects of such a high age cannot be found anywhere else. I am afraid that this gold-eating insect king has mutated, and its combat power may be even more amazing.
And besides this Gold-Eating Insect King, there are several Gold-Eating Insects close to ten thousand years old around, and there are even more Thousand-Year-Old Gold-Eating Insects, even those who are at the Title Douluo level. Don't dare to take action easily.
Especially the Gold-eating Insect King, it definitely has the strength of Contra level, maybe even stronger, and for this kind of flying spirit beast, if it fails once, it will probably run away, making it difficult to find it again. A second chance to take action.
Yang Pingan thought carefully for a while before speaking: "Uncle Li Gui, if I remember correctly, the Death Spider Emperor particularly likes to eat insect soul beasts, especially gold-eating insects. In the core area of the Star Dou Forest There should be a lot of Death Spider Emperors." Li Gui nodded: "That's true. When I was in the core area of the Star Dou Forest, I did see the Death Spider Emperors, and they were more than 50,000 years old. But here we are different. Death Spider King is still relatively far away "Remotely."
Yang Ping'an shook his head: "No, we were being chased by the wind demon wolves in front of us. We didn't care about the road at that time. We were probably walking towards the core area. It is estimated that we are in the core area now, otherwise there would not be such a powerful soul beast."
"And according to my estimation, the Death Spider King is only a hundred kilometers away from here, maybe even closer. .”
There was confusion on Li Gui's face: "Ping'an, according to your opinion, do you want to lure the Death Spider King to deal with this gold-eating insect king, but I have some doubts whether the 50,000-year-old Death Spider King can defeat it. This gold-eating insect king"
Yang Ping'an was a little indifferent: "I don't care about so many, I don't care about the death spider. Who wins, the emperor or the gold-eating insect emperor? Anyway, we just want to be fishermen. It’s best if they both lose. Then we can capture two top soul beasts in one fell swoop.”
Li Gui thought about it carefully and felt. This plan is indeed feasible, at least it must first lead a soul beast to deal with the Gold-Eating Insect King.
After some planning by both parties, Yang Pingan began to dig a hole on the ground. The cave should not be too small, otherwise the Death Spider Emperor would not be able to enter.
Li Gui turned into a ghost and captured more than ten thousand-year-level gold-eating insect kings in succession.
Soon after two full days, the hole was finally dug out. Except for a thin layer of stones at the bottom, the top had been hollowed out. There was a large hole about four meters wide in diameter, which could provide space for some top souls. The beast enters.
However, when the two came to the ground, the life breath in the air was indeed much richer than that in the mixed area. It was indeed the core area of the Star Forest.
Li Gui's face was serious: "Ping An, this is indeed the outskirts of the core area of the Star Dou Forest. It is estimated to be only about 150 kilometers away from the Lake of Life. The degree of danger is far greater than that of the mixed Even a titled Douluo may fall."
Yang Ping'an's face also became extremely serious. This core area of the Star Dou Forest is far beyond what a mere quasi-soul king can enter. I'm afraid you won't be able to wander around inside if you're not at Soul Saint or even Contra level.
Next, Yang Ping'an and Li Gui searched quickly in the core area. As expected, they found the powerful Death Spider King sixty kilometers away. Of course, they also encountered many people who exceeded their expectations during this period. Fifty-thousand-year-old soul beasts, but these soul beasts are probably not very interested in insect soul beasts. Even if a thousand-year gold-eating insect is thrown in front of them, they will not take it seriously.
However, when the two entered the territory of the Death Spider Emperor, they suddenly felt a little creepy. It seemed that the Death Spider Emperor felt the breath of the gold-eating insect, and was very hostile to Yang Ping'an and Li Gui.
Without saying a word, Li Gui turned into a ghost, pulled Yang Pingan and left quickly. At the same time, he left behind a thousand-year-old gold-eating insect, and even faked traces of the battle.
The two ran wildly, dropping a gold-eating insect every few kilometers, and trying to control the distance from the Death Spider Emperor.
When the two of them arrived at the big pit, they directly placed all the remaining gold-eating insects in the big pit, and the two of them turned into ghosts and disappeared into the dark river.
With a huge neighing sound, it was obvious that the earth was shaking, and even the underground river began to collapse everywhere. It was obvious that the Death Spider Emperor had entered the cave and crushed the last thin layer of stone. Collapsed.
As the earth shook, Li Gui and Yang Ping'an left the dark river, but they were still hiding in the shadows in the distance, just like shadows.
As Yang Ping'an expected, after the Death Spider Emperor devoured a large number of Gold-Eating Insects, he finally met the Gold-Eating Insect King.
As soon as the two insect kings met, they immediately started fighting like needles against wheat.
Especially when the Gold-eating Insect King saw his people being devoured, his eyes turned red. It was obviously a sign of extreme anger. He immediately summoned countless Gold-eating Insects to attack the Death Spider King, but the Death Spider King did not show any signs of it. Not afraid, but facing this rare feast, I became even more excited.
