Chapter 53: The Sarcophagus at the Bottom of the Nest
The white insect looks like a silkworm, with a vermilion head and two protrusions on its head. It has no wings and is somewhat similar to the ant king.
Xu Dao looked at the little white insect that emerged from the body of the ant king, with surprise in his eyes, "It's done!"
Although Nan Ke was unruly and would rather have all the ant people die than surrender as slaves, he didn't know whether he believed that the ant colony could solve Xu Dao or was concerned about his bloodline, so he left an egg in his body after all.
But no matter what, Xu Dao had planted his thoughts in the egg, occupied its body, and successfully hatched it, achieving the results he wanted.
After the new ant king emerged from the body of the old ant king, it crawled a few times in Xu Dao's palm to adapt to the external environment. It immediately crawled to the old ant king and began to eat the body of the old ant king.
Xu Dao looked at this object and closed his eyes slightly. He had a vague feeling in his mind, which could control every move of the new ant king and give orders and prohibitions.
This is the magical point of the "Three Corpses Sacrifice Technique". It is different from the ordinary beast magic. The refining of the Gu insects first erases the original intelligence of the insects, and then the Taoist differentiates the thoughts by himself.
Serves as the spiritual intelligence of the Gu.
By doing this, the Taoist's Yin God can easily possess the body of the Gu insect, control its body, and use it to maintain the Yin God.
When the Gu worms reproduce, although the new Gu worms will have their own spiritual intelligence, they are all born from the mother Gu and are naturally close to Taoists. In the blink of an eye, their intelligence can be wiped out, their bodies taken away, and they can be transformed into Taoists.
's puppet.
However, in this way, Taoists need to keep their thoughts outside for a long time and do two things day and night. Therefore, they are easily affected by the body of insects and gradually develop snake and insect habits, which in turn affects the Taoist's temperament and even causes his personality to split.
This is the biggest drawback of the "Three Corpses Sacrifice Technique", and it is also the reason why the magic requires Taoists to practice a pure mind and calm energy spell to perfection for every level of practice.
It is necessary to clean the spiritual platform frequently and strengthen the will, so as not to be affected by the habits of snakes and insects, and to avoid such drawbacks as bloodthirsty, split personality, and confusion of mind.
And Xu Dao has practiced a total of five and a half methods of clearing the mind and calming the energy. He is very successful in all of them, so he will not be afraid of the disadvantages. Moreover, unlike the evil insects of Nanke, he has the aura of a king and will not bring any harm to Xu Dao.
How many negative impacts are there?
Click, click, click! The new ant king devoured the body of the old ant king. The body grew a little visibly to the naked eye, and the tentacles grew out from the top. Obviously, it gained a lot of benefits.
Xu Dao scanned the surroundings and found that there was no other danger. He pondered for a moment, then with a flick of his mind, he penetrated directly into Nan Ke's body.
As soon as he entered the insect's body, Xu Dao felt that the world was a lot different. He raised his head and looked up at his body, which felt as tall as a mountain.
Xu Dao transformed into an earthworm and swam around in his palm, quickly adapting to the differences between the insect body and the human body.
It stood on its palm, looked into the passage, shook the two short antennae on its head, and issued commands.
Not long after, sporadic ants emerged from the huge ant corpses. They gathered at the bottom, their tentacles swaying, as if they were responding to Xu Dao's call.
The number of remaining ants is less than ten thousand, some are big and some are small, some are walking and some are flying. They are the lucky ones among the huge ant army.
Xu Dao looked at these ants and gave a vague order based on the ant's instinct.
Immediately, the remaining ants began to move. They dug a large hole in the old ant nest and repaired it. Within a quarter of an hour, they built a new small ant nest, shaped like a fuzzy crystal ball and several feet in size.
These ants moved the new ant king into them and started a new round of reproduction and differentiation.
The ants of the old dynasty were busy moving the corpses of their former comrades into the new ant nest for the new ant king to eat and to breed the ant citizens of the new dynasty.
When everything was done, the remaining ants from the old dynasty shook their tentacles and started killing each other. They clawed and clawed, and their faces were ferocious. They continued to fight until their legs and feet were broken and their wings fell off. They suffered heavy casualties in the blink of an eye.
When the last old ant resident died, the crack finally became completely quiet, leaving only Xu Dao, the new ant king, and hundreds of ant eggs.
At this time, Xu Dao opened his eyes. He lowered his head and looked at the small ant nest, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
The Nanke wormfly is sleeping in its nest, waiting for a new round of ant residents to breed and grow up, and then it can start to continuously prepare its army, using the old ant nest and ant corpses as nourishment, and gradually occupy the entire passage.
When the time comes, Xu Dao can not only use the huge ant colony to explore Baimao Feng Cave, but also raise ant soldiers by raising poisonous insects, and select the best ones to take out for use.
Xu Dao looked at the rich spiritual energy in the cracks and the countless ant corpses on the ground, and his heart was full of expectations for the future Gu swarm.
If the cultivated Gu insects are qualified, he will have a group of minions who can detect, kill, and protect himself, and his life-saving ability will be greatly increased!
At this time, it had been three or four hours since Xu Dao entered this place. After a series of killings with the ants, his body had long been depleted of true energy and his mind was extremely exhausted.
"good!"
Xu Dao took a long breath, suppressed the joy in his heart, then closed his eyes and began to absorb the spiritual energy in the channel to restore his mana.
In the process of regaining his mana.
In about a quarter of an hour, the Nanke podfly bred the first batch of ant residents, and used them as its arms to continue to expand the number of ant residents and differentiate into various types of ants.
After Xu Dao recovered his magic power, he took the time to glance at the lively and vibrant scene in front of him. He thought for a moment and then continued to practice with his eyes closed.
Just now he had a fight with the ants, and the mana in his body was almost exhausted. It was a good time to seize the time to practice and increase his true energy.
In the days that followed, Xu Dao was meditating and refining his Qi, while Nan Ke was breeding ants, and both were busy with their own affairs.
I thought this situation would last for a few days, but I didn't expect that on the third day, Xu Dao would have to open his eyes.
It wasn't because the dark wind had been blowing for more than a day that he needed to adjust his formation, but because Nanke Pingying had awakened him.
There was a look of surprise in Xu Dao's eyes. He stood up, pondering the message delivered by Nanke Pingying, and then lowered his eyes to look at the bottom of the ant nest.
After repeated expansions, the new ant nest is now half a foot high and wide, and it stands on the side. The old ant nest has been continuously opened and moved away, and has turned into ruins, with only its original outline vaguely visible.
At this time, at the bottom of the old ant nest, a square object appeared, about one foot long and two or three feet wide. It was sunk in the hole and seemed to be the foundation of the ant nest.
But in Xu Dao's eyes, this object looked more like a coffin. He thought for a moment, waved his sleeves, and knocked away all the ant nests and earthen coffins that wrapped the object.
A sarcophagus suddenly appeared in the passage, one and a half feet higher than the pit. It was cut from a whole piece of rock. Its surface was simple and without lines, but it had a beautiful shape, with corners, eaves, and a cover and a board.
This scene made Xu Dao's eyes even more confused...
