Couple cultivating immortality: My Taoist partner and I grew up through planting

Sometimes there was a crunching sound of chewing, and sometimes there was a hissing sound of joy.

Doesn’t this sound like the hissing sound of joy that occurs when you eat something delicious?

As the size grew, the sound also grew louder.

I can’t stand it anymore, I can’t stand it anymore. I’d better throw them all out of the formation, including the insect corpses and the insects that eat them.

Seeing that the holes on the stone were becoming more and more numerous and getting bigger, they could not stay there any longer. After greeting each other, they quickly put away the formation, and flew away from this place filled with bloody smell and flew high into the sky.

But is it safe at high altitudes?

No, there were also insects and flying insects in the sky. After they put away the formation plate, the smell was smelled by the surrounding insects. The insects that could not fly looked up and drooled at them, while the insects that could fly flew towards them quickly.

Everyone immediately put up the spiritual shield, and then attached a defensive talisman to themselves to feel more at ease.

I wasn't completely relieved because those flying insects didn't care whether they could eat the delicious food or not, and they just lay on the spiritual power shield.

Originally, these insects were not much smaller than them, and a few of them could completely surround a person.

Not wanting to come face to face with the bugs at close range, they could only continue to expand the aura shield.

But this situation will only last for a short time. If it continues like this, their spiritual energy will be exhausted.

A group of flying insects lying on the spiritual energy shield were waved away, and in a moment, a group of insects occupied the outside of the spiritual energy shield again.

After the insects they killed fell to the ground, their bodies were immediately eaten by the insects on the ground.

Because there were many insects on the ground but little meat, the insects started fighting each other in order to get a bite of flesh and blood. But this was only where the flying insects fell. The insects in farther places were still drooling at the delicious food in the air.

The insects further away continued to move towards the summoning point.

Han Xin and the others had no idea how delicious they were, causing the originally orderly group of insects to stop and not move forward.

There were too many insects. While Shi Yan was killing these flying insects, his spiritual sense kept checking the surroundings, trying to find a safe place for them to land.

Soon Shi Yan discovered something unusual in the forest.

He actually saw a ferocious beast lying in a big tree branch and sleeping soundly. It was not affected by the insects at all. Most importantly, the insects did not bother it.

After more careful observation, Shi Yan finally found the reason. It turned out that there was not a single insect staying on the trunks, branches or leaves of the big trees in the forest. Could it be that the insects didn't like these big trees?

Or is there any substance in these big trees that can hurt the insects?

No matter what, since big trees can stop these insects, just find a big tree to rest and avoid the harassment of insects.

Shi Yan quickly told everyone about his discovery, and they immediately flew towards the nearest big tree.

As soon as a few people landed on the leaves, the flying insects that were originally lying on the spiritual energy shield flew away immediately as if they had encountered some natural enemy.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Killing these bugs is really useless and disgusting.

Although the flying insects had left the aura shield, they did not get too far away from the few people, and stayed in the air ten meters away. At the beginning, everyone looked at the insects with disdain and would attack them from time to time, but they found that after killing the flying insects, more other insects were attracted to the ground.

Although the top of the tree was more than a hundred meters above the ground, the gnawing sounds could still reach their ears, so they stopped killing the flying insects in the air and stayed away from the big tree where they were currently living.

Because they were flying close to the big trees, although the flying insects were following them, as long as the insects did not come close to them, everyone could still ignore the existence of the insects.

Everyone went directly from the top of the tree to the branches, which is called out of sight, out of mind.

Their spiritual sense discovered that many flying insects flew away after they could no longer see them, and only a small number remained in the air.

Several people had defensive talismans pasted on their bodies. After sitting down, they either meditated and practiced, or fell asleep.

Han Xin spent the night in cultivation. She opened her eyes several times to check the situation on the ground. She found that after there was no trace of them, the insects continued to crawl in the direction they had crawled before.

The last time I opened my eyes to check, it was just dawn, and I saw the bugs burrowing into the ground again.

The ground was previously dug by insects, but the holes had long been filled up after they crawled all night.

After burrowing into the ground, the insects have to dig new holes. After burrowing into the ground, they will actually turn around and cover the hole again.

Although it was covered very roughly, Han Xin and the others had just arrived yesterday, so they did not check underground during the investigation and therefore did not find anything abnormal underground. Fortunately, the cultivators have always been vigilant and installed the formation in advance.

But it’s not too late to find out now.

After daybreak, the nine people started their journey to look for fruit again. Any ferocious beasts they saw on the way were also collected into their storage devices, including the one that Shi Yan saw sleeping on a tree branch at night.

In this way, they searched for fruit-eating beasts during the day and meditated and practiced on big trees at night. Everything went smoothly during this period and they never encountered an opponent that they could not deal with.

But one night half a month later, their smooth sailing days came to an end.

They arrived at the final base camp where the insects traveled every night.

Here, they did not find any treasures, but saw a large insect nest. In their spiritual sense, they saw an insect king that was almost as big as a ferocious beast. Those insects that crawled over with difficulty were just there to provide it with food.

Each insect voluntarily offered its life to the mouth of the Insect King. The fat Insect King lay on the ground and only needed to open his mouth, chew, and then swallow.

Han Xin and others didn’t understand why those insects came to die. Were they controlled?

They don't know what the result will be, and they don't want to find out.

Of course, they didn't have time to explore, because they were discovered by the Insect King underground as soon as they arrived. After receiving the task, the insect soldiers who were guarding it around immediately attacked Han Xin and others.

Although these insect soldiers are not as big as the Insect King, they are countless times larger than them.

Their cultivation level was much higher than those small bugs they had faced before, but slightly lower than those ferocious beasts they had faced before.

The number of ferocious beasts is small, and they usually act alone, but it is not the case with insects. Not only do they live in groups, but there are also large numbers of them. At first attack, there will be hundreds or even thousands of them, and it will definitely take a lot of effort to fight them.
