Although the Nanke wormfly is not included in the thirty-six species of rare beasts and insects, it is still one of the seventy-two species of lower-level rare beasts and insects. It is definitely not a nameless person.
Xu Dao pinched the small vermilion head of the Nanke beetle and looked at the many restless ants around him. He guessed that their number should reach hundreds of thousands or millions, so he was more sure of his judgment.
There are two miraculous effects of Nanke ants. One is the rapid reproduction and growth. As long as there is sufficient spiritual energy and vegetation, the queen ants can differentiate into thousands of ant armies in one day and overnight.
The second is that this insect has strong vitality and is hermaphrodite. In water, it can differentiate into water ants, in fire, it can differentiate into fire ants, and in the air, it can differentiate into flying ants. It can eat spiritual energy, yin energy, water vapor, fire energy... there is no definite number.
, can adapt to various living environments in the world.
The reason why this insect got its name is because of the "Biography of the Prefect of Nanke".
According to legend, in the Tang Dynasty, a Taoist used this insect to enlighten someone to Taoism. He planted the eggs in a tree hole at the root of a large locust tree. Within an hour, the eggs hatched into a queen ant, reproduced and grew, and established an ant kingdom.
, there are city walls, palaces, ant citizens and ant armies, which are no different from small mortal countries.
Then the Taoist guides the souls of mortals into the ant kingdom, and uses dream magic, so that the mortals are recruited as princes-in-law in the ant kingdom, govern the herdsmen, and serve as the prefect of Nanke County. In just one dream, they experience prosperity, honor and disgrace, and spend their whole lives.
.
After dying in the dream, mortals wake up and learn that the Huaian country in the dream is just an ant country in a locust tree hole, and Nanke County is just a bumpy land in the ant country.
The wealth, fame, carriages, horses and mansions that he pursues all his life are just a game between ants, grass roots and soil.
From this, the man realized that a mortal's life would pass away in a blink of an eye, so he gave up drinking and sex, turned to pursue the immortal way, and happily followed the Taoist to the mountains to practice.
The mortal in the story is called Chun Yufen. He later became successful in his career and proved that ghosts and immortals can reincarnate and live forever, which is far beyond what can be achieved in a hundred years of life.
The worms used by the Taoists were therefore called "Nanke worms" and ranked among the worms of heaven and earth.
Xu Dao caught the insect and his eyes were filled with joy. If he could refine it into Yin Gu and use it as an external incarnation, it would be of great use!
In joy, Xu Dao thought about the wonders of Nan Ke’s wormfly, and suddenly thought:
"These ants are not very afraid of evil spirits...could it be that evil spirits have appeared here?"
According to records in Taoist books, the Nan Ke Pingfly has no attributes after it is born, and its body will change according to the place. It will become strong and powerful when it moves in a masculine place, and it will become spooky and weird when it lives in a yin and evil place.
The group of Nan Ke 萍蜽 in front of us grew up in the Baimaofeng Cave. They must have adapted to the evil wind and evil spirits. They are barely afraid of the evil spirits. Maybe they have been exposed to them before.
Realizing this, Xu Dao's eyes brightened.
It was said that although he knew something about Zerg, he only learned about it from Taoist books and was not very familiar with it.
There are 108 species of strange beasts and insects in the world, but he only knows a few dozen species in total, and most of them only have names.
The reason why I happened to know about Nanke Pingying was because after Xu Dao obtained the "Three Corpses Sacrifice Technique", he deliberately read the corresponding snake and insect books.
Xu Dao pondered: "If this insect is not afraid of evil spirits after being exposed to them, then it would be really serious!"
Faintly, he guessed that this was probably the reason, and was slightly speechless because of it.
Nan Ke Ping Fei is just one of the inferior rare beasts and insects, but it can have such abilities. I wonder how miraculous other rare beasts and insects, as well as the superior ones among them, must be!
After Xu Dao stopped thinking, he lowered his head and started searching in the huge ant nest to see if this Nanke wormfly had left any princes or grandchildren behind.
What Xu Dao doesn't know is that although Nanke wormflies can reproduce and differentiate into tens of thousands of ant citizens, they can hardly differentiate into new groups, and there are no princes or grandchildren at all.
Ordinary ants can also fly in marriages or groups to continuously produce new groups.
However, the ant king can only survive by splitting its ant king. Throughout its life, an ant king can only split itself three or four times, and if the king does not see the king, the old king and the new king cannot coexist.
Therefore, unless there is a group crisis, Nan Ke Ping Fei will generally not lose vitality to give birth to offspring.
As for the ants except the ant king, they are just slave tools. And when the ant king dies, the entire clan will be destroyed.
Xu Dao rummaged through the dilapidated ant nest again and again, but finally he didn't see any ants like the king ants anymore, so he gave up the thought.
At this time, the ants in the entire passage were surrounding him. They were huge in number, and they were constantly returning to gather troops to defeat him together.
Xu Dao also frowned when he saw this.
There are so many ants, even hundreds and thousands of them are nothing to worry about, and tens of thousands of them are nothing to be afraid of, but millions or tens of millions of them can even wear away his body protection spell.
If it were ten thousand levels, Xu Dao would have no choice but to take the best option.
But the aura of this place is so rich that he is reluctant to leave, and even if he leaves and the ant king is caught by him, the ants will keep chasing him.
For the current plan, Xu Dao can only quickly refine the ant king in his hand. When the refining is successful, he may be able to control the remaining ant colonies.
Immediately, Xu Dao sat down cross-legged.
He was besieged by countless ant people, so he boldly refined the ant king and regarded the entire ant clan as nothing.
The ant king was pinched in Xu Dao's hand. Although it looked fat and white, it had a violent temper. The ant struggled desperately and tried its best to bite Xu Dao.
But Xu Dao didn't pay attention to it at all, he just reviewed the contents of "Three Corpses Sacrifice Technique", multitasking, carefully divided his thoughts, and prepared to occupy the body of the Ant King.
But something surprising happened. Xu Dao's thoughts entered the body of the ant king, and the ant actually conveyed a determined mood of resistance, just like a human!
Xu Dao stopped at the right time and began to chart slowly.
But the ant king struggled even more fiercely. His temperament was arrogant and he seemed to never allow himself to become a slave.
Xu Dao never thought of taking it as a slave, but this insect was very spiritual and had no mind, so it was unable to develop and occupy the body.
For a while, the two were at a stalemate.
Realizing that this thing was quite spiritual, Xu Dao's heart moved, and he began to follow the temptation and put forward the idea to ask the ant king to take care of the entire group.
As soon as this idea came out, the strength of the ant king's struggle really became smaller and gradually stopped. Just when Xu Dao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the ants around him went crazy and rushed towards him desperately.
Buzz! There was a loud rustling sound in the passage.
Xu Dao's face changed slightly.
The ants surrounding him fell down layer by layer, and nearly a hundred thousand ants died with every breath, rapidly wearing away his body-protecting aura.
Xu Dao lowered his head and looked at the ant king in his hand, and found that it was curled up, and the only thoughts that came out were unruly.
This thing is no more than three inches long, white and fat as rice, has a mouth but no teeth, has useless wings, has no scales and no armor, yet it can actually do things like "it would rather be broken into pieces than a piece of tile."
Xu Dao narrowed his eyes for a moment, and showed a sneer. He no longer cared about the ant king in his hand, and closed his eyes to maintain the spell to prevent being hurt by the opponent's ant army.
In the sand, swarms of ants rushed towards him like water, but in the end they were like waves hitting the rocks, breaking into pieces and all gone in vain.
I don't know how many breaths passed, but Xu Dao's face turned pale and his aura was unstable.
Ant corpses were everywhere around him, covering the ground in a thick layer, like snow, and the number was even more incalculable.
Finally, all the dead and injured people were killed and their activities ceased.
Xu Dao silently opened his palms. In his palms, the body of the Ant King had long since disappeared, a mass of dead things.
But not long after, the three-inch body trembled, and a tiny white insect emerged from it.
