Chapter five hundred and ninetieth poisonous insects
Among the members of the Begging Union, Zhihe can be said to be the encyclopedia of all kinds of spiritual beasts and monsters, so naturally it should be left to him to judge.
Zhihe didn't refuse. He reached out to take the poisonous insect and looked at it carefully. After a while, he groaned.
"This is a bit like the mountain-eating insect recorded in the classics. It likes water and shade, has a greedy and bloodthirsty temperament, and spits venom from its mouth to turn almost everything into poison.
They move around at night and like to live in groups. If they are hungry, they will even eat their own companions!"
The Yushenghua sisters were obviously a little wary of these things, and after hearing this, they immediately moved away calmly.
Xu Luo roughly estimated the distance. If he kept going at this speed without stopping, he would probably reach Luoxian Island at noon tomorrow.
But if you travel at night, you are very likely to encounter swarms of mountain-eating insects, which is a huge risk.
The scene just now was really surprising
Thinking of this, Xu Luo's feet paused slightly, and the Xingshu boat stopped immediately.
"Since this little thing likes to go out at night, let's just rest here for the night and continue our journey tomorrow morning."
The others nodded indifferently, but Zhihe's face was obviously relieved.
He understands the terror of the Mountain Eclipse Bug swarm better than anyone present. If possible, he really doesn't want to run into these ghosts.
As time passed, the white mist gradually filled up with a layer of dim red light. Xu Luo sat on the side of the ship and watched the strange changes, suddenly realizing that the red moon should be hanging high in the outside world at this time.
But when the red light began to appear, there was a slight movement from far to near. It was clear that there was a vast empty water surface all around, but there was a sound of countless things gently squeezing and colliding.
Xu Luo was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled bitterly.
Damn it, are these ghosts born in the year of dog, and they came to the door so quickly?
Even if the white mist can block the spiritual vision, it certainly cannot block the Netherworld Technique, but the detection range of the magical power must be compromised.
At this moment, in Xu Luo's red sight, the calm water surface in the distance generated a wave out of thin air, rushing straight towards the Xingshu Boat.
He looked around and took a breath, giving up his plan of escaping elsewhere.
The wave just now spread quickly to all directions like a plague, and unknowingly surrounded the Xingshu Ship in the middle.
Xu Luo let out a long sigh and suddenly flicked his finger on the side of the boat, but the ding-dong sound resounded in the ears of everyone on the boat.
The next moment, everyone's expressions changed drastically and they rushed out of the cabin.
Xu Luo didn't need to explain this time. Seeing the turbulent waves surrounding him, even a fool would know that something was very wrong.
Zhihe only glanced at it, then smiled bitterly at everyone with a look of remorse.
"It is indeed a group of Mountain Erosion Insects. Brother, you should put away the Star Shuttle first. This kind of huge spiritual creature is their favorite prey!
But there is no record in the classics that the Mountain Erosion Insect has this habit of retribution..."
"Do they like water?"
Xu Luo directly interrupted his self-blame words and did not follow his suggestion to put away the Star Shuttle.
This opinion seems quite reliable at first glance, but the huge size of Xingshu Zhou is not only a burden, but it is also a kind of defense.
The most important thing is that the spirit boat consumes star power. As long as Xu Luo is not exhausted, it can at least provide everyone with a safe and reliable place to rest.
Even if you are a practitioner, you are by no means a tireless iron man!
Although Zhihe looked a little confused, he nodded quickly, and Xu Luo did not hesitate to stretch out his finger to flick the Oding lamp hanging at the bow of the boat.
The candle flames were like fireflies exploding their nests, splashing and exploding randomly in the air, reflecting the true scene of the roaring waves in front of everyone.
What kind of waves are these? They are clearly countless densely packed heart-eating insects rolling together, creating ripples on the water.
It's just that this ripple is a bit too scary.
The scarlet candle flames fell erratically, and the raging blood flames exploded one after another. These heart-eating insects were like balls of moving grease. As long as they were contaminated with the slightest bit of candle flame, they would immediately burn into billowing fireworks.
These things don't seem to be that difficult to deal with, but at this moment, no one on the spirit boat is happy at all.
Against the backdrop of the firelight, the Heart-Eating Insect's way of responding to the attack was clearly visible in front of several people's eyes.
Those unlucky heart-eating insects that were ignited had no time to be burned to ashes, when more insects immediately emerged from the bottom of the water and drowned the still-burning heart-eating insects with their bodies.
They were not kind enough to save their companions, but instead gnawed cleanly at the ignited heartworms.
The most important thing is that this horrifying scene can be seen almost everywhere on the wave, and bursts of creepy rustling sounds suddenly fill everyone's eardrums.
After killing some mountain-eating insects, the waves did not weaken at all, but became more and more violent.
The red light in Xu Luo's eyes skyrocketed, and he quickly pointed the Xingshu boat in one direction and charged wildly. Others also took the opportunity to scatter in all directions of the spirit boat.
A series of fierce energy jets rose from the deck, spilling out into various colors of rainbow light and striking straight at the incoming waves.
Boom, the whole body of the spirit boat was shaken and hit the turbulent waves. Countless mountain-eroding insects were directly crushed into powder, and more mountain-eroding insects were directly knocked away by the force.
But a scene that surprised everyone appeared!
Those poisonous insects that were bounced away were pulled back into the wave with inexplicable force at a faster speed, as if they were being pulled by invisible threads.
Xu Luo's eyes narrowed subconsciously. In his keen perception, although these mountain eclipse insects killed each other without mercy, the connection between them was unexpectedly close.
The invisible qi machine extends from each poisonous insect's body and forms a giant net, stringing together all the qi machines of each mountain eclipse insect.
As long as the body is not completely distraught on the spot, Qi will pour into the body from the giant net, allowing it to return to its original state in a matter of seconds.
At this moment, the Xingshu Boat's speed slowed down significantly, as if it was traveling in mud with extremely high resistance.
Countless finger-sized poisonous insects with bright colors were gnawing madly at the protective light curtain attached to the spirit boat.
In just a moment, the light curtain dimmed visibly to the naked eye, but Xu Luo just glanced at it and ignored it.
As long as the Star Hub Boat has enough star power to replenish it, this light curtain will never break easily.
The other people's attacks fell like a torrent, but for the countless mountain-eating insects, it was only a drop in the bucket.
Instead, as the Xingshu boat slowed down, all the wild swells around it had piled up on the bottom of the boat.
The light curtain of the spirit boat fluctuated in brightness, and then it was like wearing a piece of brightly colored armor, even everyone's sight was obscured.
Xu Luo stretched out his hand and pointed at a lamp with the word "E" in it. The flame burned all the mountain-eating insects at the bow of the boat, and then he could barely see the way ahead.
The sky and the earth are filled with light red mist, and the Xingshu boat is like an old man struggling to move forward on the dark water.
The colorful torrent spread rapidly from the bottom of the boat upwards like an endless fountain, while everyone on the deck used their own abilities to kill all the mountain-eating insects that clung to the light screen.
But as time passed slowly, everyone was obviously beginning to feel a little tired.
Just when Xu Luo was thinking about whether to send out the fushengzhu, a dim light appeared in the fog ahead.
A burst of weird flute music came into their ears, and something happened that made everyone ecstatic.
As soon as the mountain-eating insects that were gnawing at the spirit boat heard the sound of the flute, they immediately staggered as if they were drunk, and some even fell headfirst from the air.
Xu Luo was overjoyed, and all his energy and blood poured into the spirit boat at his feet without any reservation.
After receiving the host's support, the Xingshu Boat immediately trembled throughout its body and crashed forward.
Crackling, countless mountain eclipse insects were smashed to pieces by the sudden force on the light screen.
Confined by the strange flute sound, the turbulent waves below were obviously slow to react. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Xingshu Boat finally crashed out of the encirclement of the waves.
Yu Miaobi was the first to react, and the green ink picture in his hand appeared out of thin air above the spirit boat. The clear water fell from the sky in mighty force, drowning all the mountain-eating insects that were still clinging to the light screen.
After a while, the light curtain finally stopped flickering. Xu Luo breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand to hide the light curtain again. Only then did he subconsciously look back.
At this moment, when the Xingshu Boat picked up speed, the Mountain Erosion Insect that was still chasing after it could only look at the ocean and sigh.
But when they saw the colorful waves that had occupied all the dark water in just a moment, other people showed their hearts palpitating.
Qi Taishan's face was pale and he was slumped on the ground leaning against the side of the ship. The water and fire dragon on his shoulders imitated his example, sticking out its long tongue and panting continuously.
Immediately, it felt that it didn't look like it anymore, and spread out its limbs, but immediately hit Qi Taishan's body heavily on the ground.
Qi Taishan glared at it angrily, and then asked breathlessly.
"Brother, where did that flute sound come from just now? How come it seems to be able to drive away these mountain-eating insects."
Xu Luo first waved his hand to signal everyone to recover as soon as possible, and then shook his head at him.
"No, it's not that terrifying yet. There is a high probability that this person is a comrade of Luoxianyu.
Although repelling insects and refining poisons is not considered a great way, if you practice it to the deepest level, it is also an extremely difficult magical power.
Everyone also knows that Luoxianyu has been isolated from the world for so many years, so it is not unacceptable for them to find another way of cultivation."
At this time, the waves of mountain-eating insects behind finally disappeared from everyone's sight, but the light in front became clearer and clearer.
A building built on a rolling mound appeared in front of everyone. A tall stone tower stood on the dock next to it, with a bright white light blooming from the tip.
"Is this already Luoxian Island?"
Yu Shenghua, whose pretty face turned pale, walked behind Xu Luo and asked subconsciously.
Xu Luo smelled the faint fragrance of virginity in his nose, and sighed secretly in his heart. During this period, this little girl would get close to her whenever she had the chance. Almost everyone knew about her little tricks.
It's a pity that Xu Luo really already has his own heart, and he doesn't want to taint other people anymore, so he can only pretend to turn a blind eye.
"Probably not!"
Xu Luo threw away those random thoughts as soon as his thoughts changed. Just as he was about to explain, his brows furrowed and he shouted loudly.
"You call yourself a thief when you come uninvited. Isn't it disrespectful for you to act like this?"
The others were immediately horrified, there was actually an outsider around?
As Xu Luo finished speaking, a stream of water rose out of thin air in front of the spirit boat, outlining two figures, one tall and one short.
The water splashed down as if it were spiritual, revealing the true appearance of the figure. In front of him was a thin old man with a figure like a bamboo pole.
He was about to speak but he coughed violently again. The face of the pretty teenage girl behind him changed, and she immediately supported him and made a worried sound.
"Grandpa, you just started driving the insect flute, so you should take a rest first."
Having said this, she glared fiercely at the people on the spirit boat.
"A bunch of bad guys!"
Xu Luo glanced at the piccolo hanging on the old man's waist, and realized in his heart that it seemed that this person was the one who had secretly helped just now.
It's just that this senior seems to have some hidden health problems, and the situation doesn't look good!
He was deep in thought here, and next to him, Qi Taishan, a fool who never used his brains, immediately spoke out angrily.
"What's the matter with you, little lady? Why did you and I say nasty things to each other when we first met?"
When the other quick-thinking people on the spirit boat heard this, they immediately looked at Qitaishan in surprise.
The two sisters Yu Miaobi even deliberately took two steps to the side, as if they were afraid of being infected by someone, and their manner was somewhat disgusting.
Qi Taishan looked at his fellow disciples next to him with a surprised look on his face.
"What, did I say the wrong thing?"
Xu Luo felt a headache and put his hand on his forehead, then jumped up and slapped him hard on the back of the head.
"You bastard, you don't have a clear mind, can you stop talking for now? Have you forgotten the flute sound that was secretly helping me just now?"
Qi Taishan was afraid to the core of his being his cheap brother. Hearing this, his tall body immediately shrunk a lot, with a simple and honest smile on his face.
"It turns out that the person who helped secretly just now turned out to be the young lady! That's because I, Qi Taishan, said something wrong..."
"Okay, okay, you kid, shut your mouth first."
Xu Luo pulled him aside, then showed a gentle smile on his face and looked at the girl who was secretly looking at the Xingshu Ark.
"I haven't asked you your name yet. Is this the boundary of Luoxian Island?"
At this time, the old man finally stopped coughing. He waved his hand to the girl who looked over nervously, indicating that he was fine.
Only then did the girl have the courage to look over. She opened her lips and was about to speak, but after looking Xu Luo up and down, she frowned again.
"Who are you? How come a grown man looks like a woman and likes to fake a smile? Yudi doesn't like you!"
The smile on Xu Luo's face froze, and he was dumbfounded. The other people next to him were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they all looked weird.
Qi Taishan next to him was biting his lip, for fear that he would laugh out loud, and even Zhi He's gloomy face flashed with a hint of embarrassment.
"Big man, come out! I'll ask you questions."
At this time, the girl who called herself Jade Flute pointed directly at Qi Taishan and shouted.
"My grandpa asked you if you came in from outside. What are you doing in Luoxian Island?"
Qi Taishan's face was full of surprise. He pointed to his nose in disbelief. When he saw Yudi, he nodded again and then said.
