Perfect World: Devil Slayer

Chapter 17: Scarlet Beetle King
"Then Junior Brother, please be careful and don't force it!" Feng Wu was not angry at Ling Feng's refusal, but reminded him with concern.

"Yeah," Ling Feng nodded and flew away.

"This junior brother is not simple. He was not moved by our invitation. You should know that many men came forward to join us!" Ziying, who had flowing purple hair, said. Her eyes were like stars, her eyebrows were curved, she had an oval face, a high nose bridge, and was beautiful and charming.

"Junior Brother Lingfeng has always been different, but now he seems to have changed even more. He is no longer as lively as before and is now completely cold!" said Tian Yao, a girl in blue. Her hair was also aqua blue, and her whole body seemed to be made of water.

She looked at Ling Feng's receding back, full of surprise and doubt. What happened to make a person change so much, with loneliness and sadness?

"Oh!" At this time, a sigh was heard. It was Feng Wu.

……

In the dense jungle, big trees stand tall. With the nourishment of spiritual energy, each tree grows lushly, and some even reach dozens of feet high.

In the lush forest, there are all kinds of plants growing. Some of them have turned into magical medicines, and the species are quite rich. Some are magical medicines that are rarely seen in the outside world.

"Jade Linlan!"

A magical medicine that was as white as jade, emitting a faint green luster and shaped like a little unicorn came into Ling Feng's sight.

This herb is no more than two and a half feet long, and is rooted in a crevice on the cliff. Accompanied by the sunset glow, its nine emerald green leaves are filled with spiritual energy and a fragrant aroma.

"It's actually more than 9,000 years old. If it reaches tens of thousands of years, it might even become a quasi-holy medicine!" Ling Feng stared at the elixir.

Each additional leaf of the Jade Orchid represents an additional thousand years of medicinal age, and nine is the extreme number. It can grow a maximum of nine leaves, and after ten thousand years it will begin to evolve into a quasi-holy medicine.

Of course, this process is not that simple. It would be good if one out of ten Jade Orchids can become a quasi-holy medicine. The rest that fail will die.

But even if this elixir has not evolved into a quasi-holy medicine, it is still quite extraordinary. It can help people refine their bodies, and when used together with a variety of precious medicines, it can even allow people's physical bodies to rise to a higher level. It is extremely rare and has a high value in the outside world.

Ling Feng used a jade shovel to carefully dig out the spiritual medicine. The Jade Lin Orchid was exactly what he needed for body refining. If he wanted to rebuild each realm, a large amount of precious medicine was indispensable.

"Golden Cordyceps!"

In this dense forest, Ling Feng walked forward a short distance and found another precious golden medicine. This time, it was a quasi-holy medicine that could evolve and change blood.

"Hey!"

Just when Ling Feng was about to pick them, suddenly a group of black insects emerged from the bushes. They were a dark mass, covering the entire forest. There were tens of thousands of them, and each one was as big as a human head. There was metallic light flowing on the surface of their shells. They had six legs and a pair of sharp pincers that looked like scissors.

"Black Beetle!"

Ling Feng was surprised that there would be such insects here!
This is a kind of strange insect, very ferocious and powerful. Each adult has the strength of a Spirit Transformation Realm, and is extremely powerful and has superb defense, especially its pair of pincers, which are enough to crush treasures. It is extremely rare, but its medicinal value is also very high.

"With so many black beetles, even a Venerable would have to retreat!"

Seeing tens of thousands of insects attacking, Ling Feng could only temporarily give up picking golden cordyceps and retreat to avoid them.

Dense swarms of black beetles flapped their wings and flew high, attacking Ling Feng. Their pincers shone with brilliant divine light, transforming into sword lights that were indestructible. Wherever they passed, mountains and forests collapsed, rocks shattered, it was extremely terrifying.

"boom!"

Ling Feng flew thousands of miles away and hid in a stone forest, but the black beetle followed closely behind him, rushing forward and piercing through the stone forests, and nothing could stop it.

They hunted Ling Feng as their prey, and attacked him in groups in an orderly manner. They also split into several groups to surround and intercept him.

"Have these insects gone crazy? They are chasing me relentlessly. Moreover, when did the black beetles become so orderly to form such a large group!" Ling Feng said to himself.

According to his understanding, these insects cannot live in groups because each one is very powerful. Sometimes due to food shortages, they will attack each other of their own kind. They are very ferocious and it is impossible for them to live in harmony on a large scale.

"call out!"

Suddenly, Ling Feng's eyes lit up. He found a unique insect in the dark swarm of insects behind him. Its whole body was red, and it was larger than other black beetles. Its body was glowing red with a hint of gold, forming the phantom of a red dragon.

"That's the Red Beetle King, and it's the Beetle King that's about to transform into a dragon!" Ling Feng said in surprise, and then he was happy. This kind of thing is too rare, especially one that is about to transform into a dragon. If it can be caught alive, the effect will be huge, no less than a holy medicine.

Everything can turn into a dragon, including insects. Ling Feng also understood why the black beetles gathered together and surrounded the golden cordyceps, because the red beetle king wanted to use this medicine to further transform into a dragon.

Once it succeeds in transforming into a dragon, it will have the potential to become the Insect King. If it is cultivated, it will be a great help in the future, controlling all insects. And its medicinal value is also very great. When refining various magic pills, adding it will have miraculous effects, and it can be refined into rare magic medicines.

"Catch it, and you won't have to look for medicinal herbs to rebuild your Inscription Realm. You can go into seclusion right away!" Ling Feng said with a burning gaze.

He stopped dodging and took the initiative to attack, trying to capture the Red Beetle King. A huge black hole appeared, erupting with a terrifying suction force, crushing everything and breaking it into pieces.

For creatures with lower cultivation than Ling Feng, there is no need to kill them first and then devour them. They can be swallowed directly because they cannot escape the gravity of the black hole at all. However, this is rather cruel.

It is a very painful thing for living beings to feel their lives dissipating bit by bit. Normally, Ling Feng would not do this. Devouring creatures with low cultivation levels would not have much effect on him, and he would not do such a cruel thing. He would always kill them and then swallow them.

"boom!"

Under the crushing of the black hole, some of the black beetles that were close were directly turned into powder, and the life essence of those that were far away was lost again. This action frightened countless black beetles, and they dared not attack easily. They just surrounded Ling Feng, and were very afraid of the black hole.

"Hey!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ling Feng spread his Lightning Phoenix wings, turned into a ray of lightning, and soared into the air at an extremely fast speed. He stretched out a big hand, and countless runes emerged and glowed, condensing into a big lightning hand, grabbing the Red Beetle King.

The red beetle king also sensed the danger, and his whole body was shining with red light. He constructed a red dragon in the void, and emanated a sharp and domineering sword energy from his mouth, slashing towards the dazzling giant hand.
