The endless void is deep and dark, and the dust of the universe is like fallen leaves floating on the water, with gravel constantly passing by. As far as the eye can see, a larger hill made of countless stones stands quietly.
That is the nest of the Sky-Eating Worm.
Liu Qinghuan hid his figure and flew over there unhurriedly, observing the surrounding environment while recalling all the information he had found about the Sky-Eating Insect.
The Sky-Eating Insect has a great reputation, but its number is extremely rare. Generally, traces of it can only be seen occasionally in the endless void. There is even a rumor that is difficult to tell whether it is true or false, saying that this evil insect actually comes from another world, so it cannot be tamed.
But the Sky Devouring Insect can devour everything, whether it is tangible or intangible, including spells, restrictions, and barriers, which makes people very greedy.
Therefore, although the Sky Devouring Insect cannot be adopted as a spiritual pet, some people try to capture it and do everything possible to tame it.
Liu Qinghuan was well-read and had read a manual recorded by a spiritual pet master for trying to conquer the Sky-eating Insect. Although it ended in failure, it was of great reference value.
Liu Qinghuan doesn't expect to really conquer the Sky-Eating Insects, but if he can keep a few in captivity, it will be worthwhile to start playing a role at the critical moment.
After a while, Liu Qinghuan arrived near the Insect Mountain, and saw ferocious-looking sky-devouring insects coming in and out of the cave entrance. Those who were training, carrying food, and building nests were busy and orderly.
Liu Qinghuan looked at the size of the cave entrance, cast Attention Shadowless, and quietly entered the insect nest.
Perhaps for the convenience of transporting prey, the passage of the cave is very wide and smooth as if it has been polished, and every stone crevice has been carefully filled and smoothed.
Liu Qinghuan released his consciousness as he walked. There was a complex maze of criss-crossing passages, one on top of another. From time to time, a doorway would appear, connecting to a larger cave hall.
Liu Qinghuan stood outside a doorway and looked in. He saw piles of demon beast skeletons, furs, etc. neatly stacked, with several sky-eating insects shuttled among them, busy sorting out various spiritual materials.
The next cave was actually filled with all kinds of stones, including colorful spiritual minerals and colorful spiritual stones. Some of them even Liu Qinghuan couldn't distinguish the types, but it was not easy at first glance.
Liu Qinghuan was secretly stunned. These sky-devouring insects could actually collect spiritual objects. He couldn't help but feel moved.
There are at least dozens of such storage rooms in the entire insect hive, and there is even one room dedicated to storing magical artifacts. Although the quality of those magical artifacts varies, there are also some excellent ones.
An unexpected windfall is right in front of you, do you want it or do you want it?
Liu Qinghuan decided to stand still for the time being, continued deeper, and found the incubation room again.
Gray and speckled insect eggs were densely packed together, with a sticky liquid covering the entire cave hall, making one's scalp numb just by looking at it.
Not far from the incubation room is the Insect King's room. The largest of the other Sky-eating Insects is only the size of a human head, but the Insect King, or the female insect, is more than dozens of times larger, and looks extremely different, completely like the others.
An alien monster.
And judging from his aura, he had reached the late ninth level. When Liu Qinghuan's spiritual consciousness penetrated, the Insect King raised his head, and several rows of more than a dozen eyes looked at the entrance of the cave!
Liu Qinghuan was startled. She didn't expect that the other party was so sharp and immediately withdrew his consciousness.
Fortunately, the other party was still able to stand upright. He raised his head and was alert for a while, then relaxed and lay back down, his fat body spread out like a mountain of flesh.
Liu Qinghuan quietly exited the insect nest, thought for a while, went back to find Youhu and the others, and made arrangements like this.
Half a day later, a gorgeous star shuttle shining with silver light sailed towards the insect nest. It was so fast that the sky-eating insects on guard outside could not catch up. It seemed that it had approached the insect nest in the blink of an eye.
The front end of the star shuttle lit up, and a blazing white light suddenly shot out and landed on the insect nest.
"boom!"
A large hole was immediately blasted out of the stone mountain. Countless stones cracked and rolled down, and several sky-devouring insects were also blasted into the sky.
But except for a few of those air-devouring insects, most of them were not killed unharmed. They only waved their legs in the air and struggled for a while, then turned around and flew towards the star shuttle!
There was lightning and thunder, and the Star Shuttle fired several more shots, causing the entire stone mountain to shake.
Suddenly, a harsh sound of insects came from the depths of the stone mountain, and groups of significantly larger air-devouring insects rushed out of the nest, densely packed, and charging towards the star shuttle with great momentum!
With a "buzz" sound, the star shuttle also opened its defensive cover and shot out several small beams of lightning. The approaching swarm of air-devouring insects was immediately blown away. But they quickly gathered together and charged again bravely and fearlessly.
"How come these damn bugs have such high defense!" Fubao was horrified and yelled angrily, steering the star shuttle left and right while looking for opportunities to continue bombarding the stone mountain.
"Be careful not to be attacked by the swarm of insects!" Yue Jie reminded, quickly pressing two pieces of fairy jade into the card slot.
The star shuttle also needs to consume spiritual energy to launch an attack, and it consumes a lot of energy, so it is necessary to replace the spiritual stones from time to time.
Seeing more Sky Devouring Insects pouring out of their nests, several were already lying on the star shuttle. They closed their powerful sharp teeth and gnawed at the thick defensive cover frantically.
"Crack, click, click!"
"I can't stand it anymore, retreat!" Yue Jie shouted.
The star shuttle suddenly shook wildly, shaking off some air-devouring insects, and then turned into a beam of light and quickly fled the scene.
The swarms of insects were furious, neighing and chasing after them. Hundreds of black clouds filled the sky, which was breathtaking.
"Don't be too fast. Their speed can't keep up with the shuttle. You can't get rid of them. Just keep your distance!"
Seeing a wave of insects being led away, a huge black-feathered phoenix suddenly appeared on the other side of the stone mountain. It opened its mouth and sprayed out blazing phoenix fire, causing the insect nest to shake violently again!
The swarm of Sky-eating Insects stirred up again, and several more teams rushed out. What greeted them was the flames pouring from their pockets!
The phoenix was far more flexible than the star shuttle. While avoiding the pursuit of the insect swarm, it fought and retreated. Seeing more and more air-devouring insects, it suddenly turned into flames, escaped from the siege, and flew into the distance.
While several spirit beasts were busy outside, Liu Qinghuan had already sneaked into the insect nest again and suddenly appeared in the storage room in the chaos.
The sky-devouring insects that were originally guarding the entrance of the cave were attracted by the earth-shattering events outside, so Liu Qinghuan's appearance was not noticed for the time being. He waved his sleeves, and a large area of the cave was instantly emptied.
After spending more than ten breaths to empty out this storage room, Liu Qinghuan headed towards the next one invisibly and emptied several rooms in a row until he was finally discovered by the Sky-eating Insect.
However, before they could rush over, Liu Qinghuan had already collected all his belongings and ran to the next storage room without any hesitation using Attention and Shadowlessness.
These supplies were just incidental. His real destination was the incubation room, but there were air-devouring insects stationed in the incubation room all year round, responsible for taking care of the eggs. Even if there was a mess outside, they still adhered to their duties.
Therefore, as soon as Liu Qinghuan showed up, he was immediately discovered. A sky-devouring insect trembled its wings and let out a harsh squeaking sound!
"Pa!" Several emerald green bamboo shadows suddenly appeared in the air and twitched down!
Although the body of the Sky-Eating Insect is powerful, like most monsters, its spiritual consciousness is not worth mentioning in front of Liu Qinghuan, and he was knocked unconscious in a few blows.
Liu Qinghuan took out a new spirit beast bag and collected all the insect eggs and mucus on the ground, regardless of whether it was dirty or not.
Suddenly, a spiritual thought full of madness and violence suddenly struck, and its power was not inferior to Liu Qinghuan's!
