Chapter 288: Hunting Competition

Shen Zheng was surprised to sense the dark space in the insect core, and was shocked for a moment. | Sanba Literature

"Master, how is it?" Xue Su asked with concern, pulling his thoughts back to reality.

"It's incredible!" Shen Zheng sighed, "I feel that there is a black space in this insect core, and it seems that something incredible is condensing in the center of that space!"

"It should be this Xuanwu relative Xuanwu insect." Xue Su said. "It tried so hard to accumulate power and practice hard during its lifetime. It must have reached the point where it was about to evolve into a real Xuanwu Holy Spirit. After death, this power has not disappeared for billions of years and has been wonderfully preserved in the insect core. Now your insect power provides it with great support, and it will definitely condense again and become a Xuanwu insect that can be used by you!"

"It's not the real Xuanwu Holy Spirit, but a Xuanwu insect that is extremely close to it." Shui Qingqing explained. "But that power is already very impressive. It is at least the power of a star master!" [

"It's really exciting." Shen Zheng couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect that this trip to the new insect star would yield such a huge harvest. Now I am really glad that I agreed to come here with Gu Yunsha."

"But you can't be the key." Xue Su said, "Raising is not something that can be completed in a day or two. It's not good to be eager for quick success. Master, let everything go with the flow and let it develop on its own."

"I understand this." Shen Zheng nodded and moved the modulator back to the insect core space.

"Let's bury the body of the black tortoise." He said as he walked back. Shui Qingqing wanted to say something, but Xue Su waved her hand and motioned her to follow.

After a while, the three of them came to the exit of the passage. Shen Zheng looked down and saw that the huge monster that had been standing there on the plain had completely disappeared. There was only a huge deep pit with a width of 100 meters on the ground, and in the pit was a pool of water with faint shimmering waves.

"How could this happen?" Shen Zheng was puzzled.

"Its insect core has been extracted, and its body has lost the power to maintain its appearance and turned into water." Xue Su said. "Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth, and water returns to the rock pit where it once slept, and becomes a small pond."

"Xuanwu, the Holy Spirit of the North, belongs to Ren and Gui water in the five elements, and its color is black, representing winter." Shui Qingqing whispered, "It has a strong shell, so it has extremely strong defense; it is also soft water, so it has that smart snake body tail; hidden in the dark, it represents thickness and gestation; it has the power of winter, giving all things a rest, and freezing everything, so that everything can last for a long time."

"Just these attributes of it are enough to evolve many kinds of power." Xue Su looked at Shen Zheng and said, "And Master, you have a special insect spirit like the Blood Spirit Whip, and you can turn into a white snake when you strike with all your strength. You are very destined to Xuanwu. Perhaps your second Holy Spirit will be the Northern Holy Spirit, Xuanwu, which is a combination of turtle and snake."

"Everything depends on fate." Looking at the pool of water, Shen Zheng said softly.

"We can't let Gu Yunsha and the others come here again." Xue Su said softly, slowly opening her mouth to make insect sounds.

This time Shen Zheng didn't block Shui Qingqing again, because all the evidence showed that Shui Qingqing must also be related to the insect people. Sure enough, when Shui Qingqing saw Xue Su opening her mouth to make that kind of sound wave, she didn't react with curiosity at all, as if she had known that Xue Su had this ability.

Did the general manager agree to let her follow him to the new insect star, expecting her to recall something on the insect star? If so, does it mean that the general manager knew that she was also a insect person? And the reason why he agreed to let me bring her here was that he had already seen Xue Su's identity, and knew that Xue Su would not only not hurt her, but also try to help her recover her strength or memory without being known?

That should be the case.

Shen Zheng guessed in his heart.

"Master, a large number of basalt beetles will return here soon, but Jiang Shuilu and Gu Yunsha will not come back." Xue Su said, "Let's go find them directly and work with them to hunt down a few basalt beetles."

"Okay." Shen Zheng nodded, "Let's just say..."

"Leave the lying to me!" Shui Qingqing suddenly got excited and raised her hands high. "I'm the best at this kind of thing?"

Is there anything to brag about? Shen Zheng looked at Shui Qingqing with a smug look and couldn't help grinning. [

The three of them immediately went in the direction where Jiang Shuilu and Gu Yunsha left, and found them after a long time.

The two successfully separated a large basalt beetle with high insect power from the team. With the guidance and help of Jiang Shuilu, Gu Yunsha was fighting with the big guy.

Seeing this, Shen Zheng discussed with Xue Su and Shui Qingqing, and simply ignored the two and went straight to the group of basalt beetles with low insect power.

Although the insect power is low, the lowest basalt beetle has reached 9000, which is almost equal to Shen Zheng's strength. As insects, their real strength is higher than theirs.

But with the help of Xue Su, the insect swarm composed of dozens of insects dispersed again. One of them was lured away from the team by Xue Su, and Shen Zheng fought with it, and the fight was fierce.

But compared to Gu Yunsha, Shen Zheng was more confident. After all, Gu Yunsha dared to attack with all his strength because of his mentor. But if there was a real danger, Jiang Shuilu might not be able to attack in time. But Shen Zheng was different. At most, he would use the blood spirit whip to attack with all his strength. Although he could not kill the 9000 insect power black tortoise beetle at once, he could still seriously injure it.

So after a fierce battle, the black tortoise beetle was still easily killed by Shen Zheng. Shen Zheng obtained a bug core from its body. This bug core with a bug power of 9000 can undoubtedly be made into a top-grade bug core. If he is lucky, another insect planter can easily become an insect controller.

"Keep this one for Chai Feifei." Shen Zheng said, "She has been with Xiaoying for so long, but she has not become an insect controller. Sometimes I feel a little sorry for her."

"It's up to you, master." Xue Su said with a smile.

"Pull another one over. It's always good to hunt more bug cores." Shen Zheng rubbed his hands. "It's not easy to find so many powerful insects on White Wolf. The key is that their bloodline is also strong, and the quality of the insect core is super good. It would be best if we could hunt a few more insects that have given birth to insect spirits. Such powerful insect spirits are definitely good treasures."

It's not that powerful insects can definitely generate insect spirits. There is a certain proportion in the insect swarm. Maybe an insect with an insect power of 1,000 can give birth to an insect spirit, but an insect with an insect power of 10,000 may not be able to generate one. This thing is not just about strength, but also about luck and probability.

No one knows better than Xue Su whether there are strong insect spirits among these basalt beetles. She smiled slightly: "Don't worry, master, everything will be as you wish."

For a long time afterwards, Shen Zheng continued to hunt basalt beetles in this way. Unknowingly, he already had 8 high-level insect cores and 2 insect spirits.

Xue Su was not idle either. She killed 4 basalt beetles by herself and ate the insect cores on the spot.

"It's so delicious." Xue Su licked her lips and said, "How long has it been since I last had something so good? Oh, I really want to settle down here!"

Unconsciously, time passed quickly. Jiang Shuilu and Gu Yunsha rushed over from the other side. Seeing Shen Zheng and the other two dealing with the basalt beetles one by one, they were surprised for a moment.

"Why did they scatter?" Gu Yunsha looked puzzled.

"I don't know either." Shen Zheng certainly couldn't say that it was Xue Su's credit. "When we arrived, they were like headless flies, and we attacked them a little bit, and they were attracted one by one."

"Let's try it too!" Jiang Shuilu nodded to Gu Yunsha.

"I saw you just fought with their leader. How was the result?" Shen Zheng asked.

"Don't mention it." Gu Yunsha smiled embarrassedly, "That guy's insect power is definitely more than 12,000. I spent a lot of effort with the help of my mentor, but I only injured it. In the end, my mentor saw that I didn't need to fight anymore, so he killed it and got a insect core, not an insect spirit. How about you?"

"8 insect cores, 2 insect spirits." Shen Zheng said. [

"Good harvest." Gu Yunsha smiled, "But I will catch up with you soon."

As he said, he and his mentor Jiang Shuilu came to the cave guarded by this group of insects and used that teasing method to attract the basalt beetles. Of course, without Xue Su's help, their method could not be as satisfactory as expected, and they attracted three basalt beetles at once. Fortunately, Jiang Shuilu was strong and didn't care about the number, so he guided Gu Yunsha to fight them.

The insect power of these three basalt beetles was more than 9,000, but it didn't exceed a few hundred points, which was naturally much worse than Gu Yunsha, the peak insect melter. However, although Gu Yunsha didn't care about the one-on-one fight, he was dumbfounded when the other side attacked with three beetles at the same time. It was not as easy as the battle with the powerful giant beetle just now.

The two sides used this method to compete with this group of basalt beetles in different caves.

Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, a few days passed, and this group of dozens of powerful basalt beetles were finally killed by the two groups.

After the battle, the two groups met and counted. As a result, Shen Zheng's team killed 42 basalt beetles, but only obtained 18 basalt beetle cores and 3 insect spirits. The remaining 21 cores were eaten by Xue Su.

Of course, this matter could not be known to the other party, so Shen Zheng asked Xue Su to put all the bodies of the 21 basalt beetles into the core space and not count them in the total.

Jiang Shuilu took Gu Yunsha and killed 27 basalt beetles. The reason for the low efficiency is that, on the one hand, they cannot pick and lead out the insects one by one like Xue Su did, and on the other hand, Jiang Shuilu has to teach Gu Yunsha how to use these insects to practice martial arts while hunting for insect cores, so naturally they cannot match the speed of Shen Zheng's party.

But in terms of the number of insects, they still won. Shen Zheng's party only took out 21 insect corpses, while they had 27, including a huge guy like a hill.

This result is also in line with the apparent strength of both sides. Jiang Shuilu and Gu Yunsha have no doubts.

But Shui Qingqing was secretly dissatisfied in her heart, and always felt that it was not fair to lose to them.
