Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 114 The King of Ten Thousand Gus
The young Taoist's body was sitting upright on the cushion with his eyes closed.

However, his mind was floating and immersed in the Jiuli world, so Xiao Yuhong, Xue Yuzhen and the others thought that Lu Cheng had entered some kind of state of enlightenment, and they did not dare to disturb him and all retreated.

In fact, he can be woken up by being disturbed at this time, and Lu Cheng will also wake up if he senses danger.

In the state of sudden enlightenment, there will be a sluggish movement of thoughts, but once the mind enters the Jiuli world, it can escape from it at any time.

But at this moment, Lu Cheng was worrying about how to conquer a large territory for the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu. After all, they were descendants of the ancient insects, and Lu Cheng also hoped that they would live well.

Lu Cheng's Yuan Consciousness in this world is not undetectable and invulnerable, and its flying speed is not too fast. If it were not for the cooperation of the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu, he would not be able to possess the other person easily, and at least he would have to destroy the other person's consciousness.

Even if Lu Cheng possessed a body, he still possessed the strongest golden silkworm Gu in the tribe. However, in this world, he could not use his most trusted swordsmanship. Even if Lu Cheng could control the body of the insect to the extreme, one golden silkworm Gu at the foundation building stage fighting seven or eight other golden silkworm Gu at the foundation building stage was already the limit. In terms of the overall situation, it had little impact.

Each group of spiritual insects, such as green-scaled snakes, tree insects, gold-eating fire ants, ancient blood mosquitoes, golden-hoofed rhinoceros beetles, and auspicious jade bees, has at least thirty to fifty spiritual insects in the foundation-building stage.

The only advantage is that Lu Cheng's intelligence is not lower than those bugs.

"The biggest advantage now is that these huge groups of spirit insects are not aware of our existence. We can unite and use their strength to fight against them. In a month, we can control at least two or more groups of spirit insects."

After setting the goal in mind, Lu Cheng immediately began to collect information about those powerful spirit insect groups more carefully.

Generally speaking, spirit insects are the last of all spirit beasts to awaken their spiritual intelligence. Of course, there are exceptions, but they are rarely encountered.

In return, they have stronger ability to survive and reproduce.

The green-scaled snake has its own snake cave, and the tree insects occupy large tracts of forest. Although they are weak, they have strong geographical advantages to protect themselves.

Gold-eating fire ants have the largest number and the strongest overall strength.

Ancient blood mosquitoes inhabit the blood pool, and the situation is similar to that of tree worms.

The smaller number of golden rhinoceros beetles formed an alliance with the auspicious jade bees and coexisted with them.

"I don't need to lead the golden silkworm Gu swarm to fight all of them. I just need to instigate a few of them to fight, and then control the swarms that have been weakened. If the five forces unite into two or more, the other three forces will basically be unable to resist."

When it comes to viciousness, hypocrisy and cruelty, compared with humans, animals are so cunning that they are only laughable, not to mention insects.

One day at noon, in the snake cave.

The green-scaled snake is a nocturnal snake. Lu Cheng chose to take action at this time, which is equivalent to a robber raiding an unguarded village or town at midnight.

The poisonous golden silkworm Gu that emitted a faint red light sneaked into the snake cave, then targeted a level three green-scaled snake at the edge of the cave and bit it fiercely.

The third-level green-scaled snake shuddered, then turned around with a hissing sound, and swam out of the snake cave in pursuit of Lu Cheng. At noon, a green snake was seen chasing a golden flying insect and swimming away quickly.

After swimming too far, the green-scaled snake seemed to feel it was not worth it and wanted to swim back. Lu Cheng turned around and flew over to bite it again.

This time, the green-scaled snake really pursued Lu Cheng relentlessly, and was eventually led into a preset ambush circle by Lu Cheng, where it was surrounded and killed by a group of hundreds of golden silkworm Gu.

"Don't eat it all. Eat half and throw the other half back into the red tree where the fire ants are."

The golden silkworm Gu that was possessed by Lu Cheng landed on a branch and watched the siege below. At this moment, a sweet and fishy smell rushed from its mouth to its brain, which was extremely delicious, just like a drunkard tasting a sip of fine wine, making his brain dizzy and intoxicated.

At this moment, Lu Cheng finally understood why the Golden Silkworm Gu was bloodthirsty and murderous. If humans could get the same or even stronger pleasure from killing as Hehuan did, then there would undoubtedly be a large number of bloodthirsty lunatics among humans.

"But I am a monk, and this desire cannot control me."

Lu Cheng used his heart as a sword to cut off the instinctive desire of the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu. Although it was attached to it, his mind seemed to rise to a height and look down.

After the golden silkworm Gu below completed its request, Lu Cheng flew into the snake cave several times, lured out the third-level green-scaled snakes, surrounded and killed them, leaving half of them for the insect swarm to devour and sending the other half to the habitat of the gold-eating fire ants.

Just like human monks like spiritual rice and spiritual meat, spiritual insects like spiritual food and blood food even more. Those gold-eating fire ants picked up a lot of snake meat in their own habitat. They didn't doubt it at all and took it directly back to the nest to provide it for the queen ant, male ants and soldier ants in the colony.

Worker ants are generally the smallest individuals in the colony, but the largest in number. They are female ants without reproductive capacity. The main responsibilities of worker ants are to build and expand nests, collect food, and feed young ants and queen ants.

When Lu Cheng had lured and killed too many level 3 green-scaled snakes and the snakes began to become alert, he would move his group of golden silkworms to another location to lure and kill golden rhinoceros beetles or auspicious jade bees, using the same method:

Half of the meat is left for the golden silkworm Gu group, and the other half is sent to the gold-eating fire ant habitat.

After acting so cautiously for more than 20 days, the group of gold-eating fire ants that were originally waiting for meat to fall from the sky in the woods were suddenly besieged by green-scaled snakes, golden-bellied rhinoceros beetles, and auspicious jade bees.

Even people who look almost exactly the same cannot live in peace, let alone a group of spiritual insects that have difficulty communicating with each other. They are originally in a relationship of competition for survival.

During the whole process, Lu Cheng only had to carefully hide the swarm of poisonous golden silkworm insects, and then keep stirring up trouble in secret until the resentment completely erupted.

The gold-eating fire ants have the largest number and the strongest overall strength, but they are under siege. Green-scaled snakes swim out of the snake cave, and from a distance they look like green rivers, or more accurately, poisonous rivers. The streams that the snakes pass through are all contaminated with poison, let alone fighting against them.

But most poisons are afraid of fire.

A colony of gold-eating fire ants can spit fireballs from their mouths. Stronger soldier ants and male ants can even spit out a long tongue of fire to set the forest on fire and block the advance of the poisonous flow.

If it was just a war between the green-scaled snake and the gold-eating fire ants, the result would definitely be a great victory for the gold-eating fire ants.

However, the gold-eating fire ant was hit hard from behind by the golden rhinoceros beetle and the auspicious jade bee. The gold-eating fire ant restrained the golden rhinoceros beetle, and the sturdy shell that the golden rhinoceros beetle was proud of was almost meaningless in front of the gold-eating fire ant. However, the gold-eating fire ant was restrained by the auspicious jade bee, and its scorching fire poison would be dissolved by the auspicious jade bee, and the number of jade bee colonies was also large.

Everywhere you look, there are poisonous streams, seas of fire, and insects of various colors densely intertwined together, and large numbers of people are falling and dying.

However, facing the siege from both sides, the gold-eating fire ants gradually held out. Under the ground in the forest, it seemed as if an endless stream of ants continued to pour out. Even though they were outnumbered one against three and their habitat was attacked, the gold-eating fire ants managed to stabilize the situation and launched a full-scale counterattack.

"hiss!"

Inside the snake cave, a huge number of green-scaled snakes slowly crawled out, carrying a gigantic green-scaled snake king with horns on its head and white hair on its neck.

After a large number of green-scaled snakes died day after day, the green-scaled snake king deep in the snake cave finally couldn't bear it anymore and left the nest.

The demonic energy on it is so huge, far beyond the ordinary.

On the other side, in the dark red forest, a queen ant whose body length and shape were somewhat like a human slowly walked out under the protection of a large number of soldier ants.

It is more than six feet long, with six pairs of thin wings on its back. With a slight flap of its wings, it can fly more than ten feet away in an instant.

The queen ant's spiritual sense was incredibly powerful. After walking out of the forest, its spiritual sense spread in all directions, even forming ripples like water waves. If Lu Cheng was not far enough away from there, he might even be noticed by it.

"So strong? It seems that if I hadn't intervened, the final winner of this land would only be the gold-eating fire ants. The other spirit insects would either migrate or be exterminated."

"Sooner or later there will be a brutal struggle for survival among them. My intervention has only accelerated the arrival of that day."

After waiting in the dark for several days, there were tragic casualties day after day. Lu Cheng could only roughly estimate the time that had passed. The length of day and night in each world in the Jiuli Cauldron was probably different. Some worlds simply had no sun or moon, so the concept of a day was out of the question.

Although he felt that the sect master would forcibly wake him up when the time for the Eight Scenery Assembly began, Lu Cheng still sped up the progress of the plan after estimating that the time was approaching.

He ignored the battle in the mountains and forests, but took a group of golden silkworm Gu and chose to launch a surprise attack on the auspicious jade bee hive where a large number of male bees had left.

The fighting on the front line lasted for many days and the casualties were huge. Even the Green Scaled Snake King and the Queen Ant had appeared, but the Queen Bee had not yet shown up.

But sometimes - the more you don't want to die, the more you will die.

When the hive's defense was relatively weak, a large number of golden silkworm Gu glittering with a hundred poisons rushed into the valley.

The auspicious jade bee does not have the ability to build large underground palaces like the fire ants. The largest jade bee hive is almost the size of a building.

In the absence of the protection and defense of drones, the huge queen bee with a big belly, almost as tall as a man, was forced out of her nest by the golden silkworm Gu.

The remaining jade bees around attacked like crazy, trying their best to protect the queen bee, but Lu Cheng did not come alone.

If the Auspicious Jade Bee couldn't even eat what was in front of it after rounds of consumption, the Poisonous Golden Silkworm Gu would have gained such a bad reputation in southern Xinjiang in vain, and it would not be revered as one of the Gu Kings or one of the ancient evil insects.

"Regardless of casualties, control it as quickly as possible. The other jade bees should be flying back at full speed."

In fact, Lu Cheng's thoughts were all unnecessary at this moment. The poisonous golden silkworm Gu was bloodthirsty and aggressive and never needed to be mobilized before a war. After hearing Lu Cheng's order of "no matter the casualties", the golden stars in the sky seemed to be a swirling whirlwind, crashing into the queen bee.

The queen ant is stronger in spirit, while the queen bee is stronger in body. It is hard to say which direction of cultivation is more advanced. It is just like the spirit-refining and body-refining cultivators among immortals, but the spirit is indeed more restraining to the Zerg.

The spiritual consciousness of spiritual insects is generally weak. If you choose to cultivate in the direction of spiritual consciousness, once an absolute gap is formed, you can wipe out a large number of insects with spiritual consciousness alone.

But when it comes to cultivating the physical body, it will not be easy to create a gap.

When countless auspicious jade bees were willing to die of exhaustion in order to return to the nest as quickly as possible, the queen bee was already covered with dense golden silkworm Gu, as if she was wearing a layer of golden armor.

The venom produced in the body of the Golden Silkworm Gu is extremely poisonous, but if injected in small amounts, it can form a pheromone to control other insects.

Therefore, when a large number of male jade bees flew back from all directions, they were at a loss as to who to fight against.

The queen of the jade bees has been controlled.

After controlling a powerful tribe, Lu Cheng took the opportunity to wipe out all the golden rhinoceros beetles without the insect king. Lu Cheng could not control the insect swarm as freely as the queen bee, nor could he control them together. In addition, this type of spiritual insects had overlapping characteristics with the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu. On the whole, it would be better to wipe them out to provide food for the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu and accelerate the increase in the insect swarm.

"Controlling the queen bee is easier than expected. So, who should we choose between the green-scaled snake and the gold-eating fire ant as our next target?"

On the other side, with the retreat of the auspicious jade bees and the collapse of the golden rhinoceros beetles, the decisive battle between the green-scaled snakes and the gold-eating fire ants has begun.

The green-scaled snake king with horns on his head and white hair on his neck has initially entered the fourth level of magical power. At this moment, the green snake rides the wind, its body coiled into a circle, and its expanded scales sparkle with emerald light, looking extremely majestic.

Although the queen of the gold-eating fire ants has a powerful spiritual sense and can move forward and backward as fast as the wind, she alone cannot defeat the giant python. The number of gold-eating fire ants far exceeds that of green-scaled snakes, and there are even more third-level fire ants, which are more elite, so the two sides are in a tough fight.

"hiss!"

The snake king swooped down, spewing out a cloud of green poison. The queen ant flapped its wings and flew back, spewing out flaming poisonous mist at the same time.

But at this moment, a shadow flashed in the poisonous fog, and the body of the Green Scaled Snake King pounced out as if it had predicted, accurately entangled the gold-eating fire ant.

The green poisonous aura surrounded its body, and actually condensed into an indestructible poisonous miasma that could both hurt the enemy and protect itself.

The queen of the gold-eating fire ants had scorching flames burning on her body as she bit the green-scaled snake king, but the snake king swam quickly and wrapped around her, and the bite was easily avoided by her.

If it was a simple fight at this moment, the queen ant would have been defeated for sure, but unfortunately this was not the case. The queen ant used all her strength to send out her spiritual consciousness like a sharp sword, slashing into the mind of the Green Scaled Snake King. The snake king was forced to hold back and strangle it, but there were several third-level soldier ants around, with flames burning all over their bodies, and began to rush towards the snake king regardless of life and death.

The Green Scaled Snake King did not fight back directly, but silently gathered the protective poison, letting it ripple through its body. When the soldier ants pounced, the green poison suddenly burst out with great power, and the surrounding air began to roll, like a green wave surging.

The soldier ants, including the queen of the gold-eating fire ant, were blown away by this tremendous force and rolled around.

"hiss!"

They had all been seriously wounded by the poison, and the outcome was already decided.

Just when the Green Scaled Snake King was about to move forward and completely kill these opponents, more third-level or even second-level soldier ants flew over. It was also under the cover of these gold-eating fire ants that the queen of the gold-eating fire ants had the opportunity to get up from the ground again.

The flames on its body began to glow golden, rapidly accelerating the burning speed of the surrounding area, forming a huge sea of ​​fire.

The gold-eating fire ants from all directions began to give their fire to the queen ant, even though it would result in the death of 80% of them.

The Green Scaled Snake King smelled danger and quickly retreated, but the Gold-Eating Fire Ant Queen gathered a sea of ​​fire to form a golden fireball and chased after it at a speed that was jaw-dropping.

The Green Scaled Snake King had no way to dodge, so he had to use the protective poison again to protect his body and block the attack of the fireball.

boom.

With a huge explosion, the poisonous spirit shattered and a large number of cracks appeared on the scales of the Green Scaled Snake King. What was more troublesome was that after this collision, a large number of gold-eating fire ants took the opportunity to get close and used their sharp jaws to bite the Green Scaled Snake King all over the body, tearing the scales and causing blood to spill.

If a certain guy had not secretly surrounded and killed too many of its third-level descendants, the Green Scaled Snake King would never have lost so miserably in this battle.

Knowing that if he continued to fight, there was a great chance of killing the queen ant, but he would definitely die, the Green Scaled Snake King decisively began to retreat.

Led by the queen, the gold-eating fire ants began to pursue the enemy. The large number of casualties among the green-scaled snakes began from this time. After the snake king retreated, the slower it retreated, the greater the chance of death. Gradually, the group of green-scaled snakes began to disintegrate.

This was the situation Lu Cheng encountered when he returned with the poisonous golden silkworm Gu. On one hand, he controlled the Green Scaled Snake King through the ability of the King of All Gu, and on the other hand, he attacked the Gold-Eating Fire Ant Queen. At this time, he had a great chance of killing it.

Once the queen ant dies, the ant colony will even split and fall into a state of fighting and killing each other.

Lu Cheng did not hesitate for long and chose the option that was more advantageous to him: the colony of gold-eating fire ants was also seriously damaged this time, so he could just take it slow in the future.

"We need to capture the Green Scaled Snake King. If we let such a big creature return to its lair, we won't have such a good opportunity again in a short period of time."

The poisonous golden silkworm Gu only obeyed Lu Cheng's wishes. This group of golden spirit insects returned first and made arrangements. When the Green Scaled Snake King finally escaped from the pursuit of the gold-eating fire ants, it fell into Lu Cheng's ambush at the entrance of the snake cave.

This green-scaled snake king has been practicing for many years, and has profound magical powers and a ferocious temperament, but its injuries are too severe. After being surrounded by hundreds of nearly a thousand poisonous golden silkworms, it still has no chance of escape.

After controlling the Auspicious Jade Bee and the Green Scaled Snake and exterminating the Golden Rhinoceros Beetle, Lu Cheng's consciousness began to leave the Jiuli world. After winning this war of spiritual insects, Lu Cheng could clearly feel that his "closeness" or "reputation" with the Hundred Poisonous Golden Silkworm Gu clan had greatly increased. In the future, the amount of spiritual consciousness required to summon the Hundred Poisonous Golden Silkworm Gu swarm from the Jiuli Cauldron would probably be negligible.

When Lu Cheng regained his consciousness, he was sitting on the cushion in his meditation room in the Leihuo Palace. He counted the time with his fingers and found that it was the day for the Eight Scenes Dharma Assembly to begin.
