As Wei Fang walked, he felt that the temperature around him suddenly began to rise. The closer he got to the top of the mountain, the more so.
According to Su San, there was a volcano here for decades, but the area affected was very small, only a few miles away.
During this period, people would come to investigate from time to time.
But naturally they all returned in vain. After the volcano was completely extinct, some people came to see it.
But there was no harvest. From then on, very few people came to this place, and now no one cares about it.
More than ten years ago, Su San went on business and encountered robbers. He fled all the way to this volcano to hide himself.
After escaping, he was about to go down the mountain and accidentally discovered a hidden small cave on the mountainside.
Driven by curiosity, he came to the stone cave and bent down to check. At first, there was nothing wrong with it. There was just some hot magma and fire water inside.
Just when he was about to look away, he felt something scratching at the rock wall.
Stone caves like this can be seen everywhere on the mountain tops. These stone caves are nothing more than cracks caused by the thermal expansion and contraction of the mountain.
Just when Su San couldn't figure out the truth after watching it for a long time, he was about to give up.
Black and red beetles as big as peanuts suddenly came into view.
These beetles were emitting scorching light, so Su San could clearly see their appearance.
Su San saw these red beetles digging around in the solidified rock next to the magma, and he didn't know what they were looking for.
But Su San also felt that these bugs were definitely not ordinary bugs, and were most likely the existence of monster bugs. (Monster is a name for advanced monsters by ordinary people who have not practiced spiritual practice.)
Under the scorching heat of the magma, let alone being so close, Su San couldn't bear it even though he was so far away.
The efficiency of the black and red beetles' planing was visibly reduced sharply, and Su San guessed that they must have encountered some hard iron stone.
But then some sparks were sprayed out from the beetles' butts. One or two sprayed sparks were nothing.
But as more and more beetles gather, it looks like a blaze of flames shooting into the sky, which is really scary.
Su San estimated that the temperature of the flame was comparable to that of magma.
Sure enough, the hard object may have been softened by the heat, and the insects were moving faster again.
At this time, Su San had already decided to give up. First, these insects had no effect on him.
Secondly, if these bugs are provoked, he will not be able to withstand the fire.
Thinking of the scene of being besieged by insects and spitting fire, Su San shivered, and Saya ran away for more than ten miles before giving up...
After all these years, Su San couldn't tell which cave entrance it was.
Wei Fang could only bend down to search from cave to cave.
But you can’t just glance at it, you have to stop and take a look.
By the time night fell, it was expected that Wei Fangxuanshi's early stage body was already suffering from back pain.
Wei Fang searched almost all the caves halfway up the mountain. Not to mention the mysterious fire insects, he didn't even see the shadow of a mosquito.
He couldn't help but wonder if the Black Fire Insect Swarm had moved here.
But when he thinks that if he can get these mysterious fire insects, his strength will definitely increase greatly.
Not to mention those who are in the early stage of Xuanshi, if the number of Xuanfire Insects is enough, he will not be afraid even of those in the middle stage of Xuanshi!
He took a short rest. This was in the wild after all, and he had to ensure that he had enough self-protection capabilities to deal with emergencies.
There are many cave entrances here, and there is light from the fire inside, so Wei Fang does not need to light a torch.
On the contrary, this will help him find the cave more. As for finding the same cave again?
There is no need to worry, because he will leave obvious marks on all the caves he has searched, thus avoiding retrieval.
Wei Fang paused for a moment, then hurriedly took a few steps back. A beam of light shone out from the crack.
Stepping back to the area where the shimmering light had just emitted, Wei Fang searched briefly to find the source of the shimmering light.
This is also a stone cave, but the entrance is mostly blocked by some gravel.
It seemed to have collapsed from the top of the cave wall. If it weren't for the faint light emitted at night, Wei Fang would have almost missed it with his eyesight.
Wei Fang carefully looked inside, but couldn't see clearly.
He released two iron-backed centipedes, controlled them to drill in, and then began to dig at the collapsed gravel.
"Sasha..."
The sound of digging up earth and rocks was heard. The collapsed earth and rocks had obviously been there for some time and were all firmly stuck together.
Iron-backed centipedes are experts at digging holes.
It took a lot of effort to dig out a hole as big as a fist.
Wei Fang looked inside, but he couldn't see clearly.
But he seemed to hear some movement, and he controlled the iron-backed centipede to come out.
He took out a small plate filled with emerald green liquid and placed it at the entrance of the hole.
A long time passed, but there was no movement. It seemed that there might not be any mysterious fire insects inside.
Or maybe the emerald green liquid isn't that attractive to it.
After all, black fire insects are different from ordinary insects. What they like to eat most are metal ores that are full of heat.
So Wei Fang was a little unsure...
Time passed quickly, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Wei Fang shook his head sadly and prepared to put away the emerald green liquid.
"Sasha..."
His hearing, far beyond that of ordinary people, seemed to hear some movement.
He hurriedly stopped trying to take back the emerald green liquid, because when he looked into the hole, he seemed to see a small point of light floating towards the outside.
Wei Fang hurriedly stood up and hid aside, even his breathing slowed down.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and warned himself not to think wildly until the last moment.
Otherwise, the huge gap will be really uncomfortable.
"Buzz~"
The sound of flapping wings like a fly gradually became clearer, and Wei Fang was too nervous to speak out at this moment.
It wasn't until the sound of flapping wings stopped for a moment that he cautiously looked over.
A round, reddish-black beetle has arrived on the small plate. It is undoubtedly the Black Fire Insect!
However, the Black Fire Insect did not start eating as soon as it saw the emerald green liquid like ordinary insects. Instead, it kept circling the emerald green liquid in the plate.
From its expansion and contraction, Wei Fang could see its entanglement.
This insect obviously wanted to suck the emerald green liquid, but every time it wanted to suck it, it stopped dead.
Seeing the battle between heaven and man in the insect, Wei Fang felt that his three views were completely ruined.
You must know that you are just an insect. What are you struggling with? This is a good thing from the sea.
Just eat it quickly, Wei Fang shouted in his heart.
In fact, this is one of the reasons why Wei Fang gave up choosing a mysterious cultivation technique first and chose an insect cultivation technique instead.
Because when he was feeding the mosquitoes, the mosquitoes almost rushed to suck the emerald green liquid.
However, although the iron-backed centipede did not resist when feeding, it was obviously not as eager as the mosquito.
When he fed the silver-threaded iron-backed centipede, the silver-threaded iron-backed centipede even twisted with some resistance.
Wei Fang's advantages may not be outstanding, but he has some unique features in his ability to draw inferences from one case to another.
To this end, he also made a series of small verifications, and he came to the conclusion that the stronger the insects, the higher their intelligence.
The resistance to the emerald green liquid became more obvious, and he couldn't know all the specific reasons.
But it should have something to do with the emerald green liquid that will be controlled by Wei Fang once it is swallowed...
