The bright moon hangs alone in the night sky, just like someone's mood at this moment, lonely and sad.
A white cat staggered, as if drinking, walking on the quiet alley. The alley was dark and narrow, and there was no end in sight.
Out of the alleyway.
The white cat raised her eyes and saw a huge locust tree in front of her.
The night wind blows gently, and the big locust tree makes a rustling sound, and the leaves sway from side to side, like a ghost with teeth and claws.
The big locust tree in the dark night gives people a terrifying atmosphere.
Only then did Luo Qingcheng notice that she had unknowingly arrived at a place where she had never dared to set foot.
But at this moment, she had already forgotten what danger was. She came to the stone pier under the big locust tree, jumped on it, and stared blankly at the town shrouded in darkness, silent.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, a voice came.
"What's wrong with you?"
A young man in a child's robe appeared beside the stone pier. He was dressed as a young scholar and looked at her curiously.
Looking at the immature boy in front of him, Luo Qingcheng would not think that the boy in front of him was a human being. After all, who would stay up late at night and come here for a stroll.
"Are you this big locust tree?" Luo Qingcheng thought for a moment and said softly.
"It's me!" Xiaohuai did not deny it and smiled lightly.
Luo Qingcheng suddenly felt at ease.
No wonder this big locust tree always gave her a feeling of extreme danger. It turned out that this big locust tree could transform into a human form.
You must know that the minimum level of a monster that can transform into a human form is Nascent Soul level.
And this big locust tree can transform into a human form and appear in front of her, which means that this tree demon who looks like a teenager has at least a cultivation level of Nascent Soul or above.
Luo Qingcheng didn't ask anything. After glancing at Xiaohuai, she silently looked in the direction of the town.
"Are you worried?" Xiao Huai said with a smile.
Luo Qingcheng did not answer. In the past, she might not have known how scared she would be, but now her heart had already died.
"Second Senior Brother, I told you to leave this person alone, but you still don't believe me!"
"Yes, yes, what does a person like this care about her?"
Suddenly, voices came from the big locust tree. There were male and female voices.
"Who's talking up there?"
Luo Qingcheng suddenly raised his eyes and looked above his head.
"I'm the one talking, what's wrong? Do you want to fight?"
But at this moment, a mantis flew down from the big locust tree. The mantis was covered in green and had a pair of big, black eyes on its triangular head.
It's just that this mantis is twice as big as the ordinary mantis.
At this moment, he was gesturing with his sickle-like forelimbs, as if he was about to fight.
Luo Qingcheng was stunned.
"Were you talking just now?"
No wonder Luo Qingcheng was shocked, but there are very few insects among the demon clan, let alone an insect with intelligence.
"That's right, it's me who speaks. Not only can I speak, I can also transform into a human being!"
As he spoke, the mantis in front of him suddenly transformed into a tall and burly man. The man was dressed in coarse linen clothes and looked extremely fierce.
Luo Qingcheng was stunned.
A mantis actually has a cultivation level above Nascent Soul?
"Senior brother, please stop scaring her. Look how scared she is by you."
Suddenly, a soft and melodious chuckle came out, and the owner of this voice was surprisingly coming from a butterfly flying over.
"She's scared like this? Luckily she's a Nascent Soul cultivator, she's not scared at all!"
The burly man grunted and transformed into a flying mantis. To be honest, he still preferred this look.
Luo Qingcheng was stunned.
He stared blankly at the butterflies and mantises in front of him.
She was shocked that a praying mantis could not only talk, but also turn into a human form. Now a butterfly came.
After all, if a monster wants to speak human words, it must have spiritual intelligence, and to possess spiritual intelligence requires the cultivation of golden elixir, it means that this butterfly has at least the cultivation of golden elixir.
But the scene that happened next almost made Luo Qingcheng's eyes pop out.
Above her head, she saw insects flying down from the big locust tree one after another. These insects included dragonflies, moths, crickets, etc. There were also spiders hanging down from the branches with silk threads.
All these insects appeared in front of Luo Qingcheng, as if they were sizing her up.
Luo Qingcheng swallowed, her mind a little confused.
Could it be that these insects have also become spirits?
Although all things in the world, even stones and plants, can practice cultivation as long as the opportunity is right, compared to birds, animals, plants, and insects, very few can practice cultivation.
Speaking of which, this has something to do with the short lifespan of insects.
After all, the lifespan of some insects is measured in hours, while some live longer, only a few years or more than ten years.
For example, the lifespan of the praying mantis in front of you is only a few months.
It is impossible to practice in such a short time.
But at this moment, more than twenty spermatozoa appeared in front of her.
If mantises and butterflies have cultivation levels above Nascent Soul, then are the more than twenty insects in front of them also cultivation levels above Nascent Soul?
When did insect cultivation become so easy?
"Don't be afraid, Miss Luo, these are my junior brothers, they won't harm anyone!"
Seeing Luo Qingcheng's stupid look, Xiao Huai suddenly smiled and comforted him.
"you know me?"
Luo Qingcheng came back to her senses and suddenly noticed that the young man in front of her actually called her Miss Luo.
"know!"
Xiaohuai nodded lightly, "I noticed you when you came to the town injured!"
Luo Qingcheng suddenly realized.
This town is so big, it is easy for any cultivator to understand it.
What's more, here is the dryad that has been in the town for who knows how many years.
Moreover, when she first came to the town, she was almost frightened to death by this big locust tree.
"Junior, tell me, you were not at Song's house so late at night, why did you come here?" the mantis suddenly asked.
Being called a junior by a praying mantis, Luo Qingcheng was not angry. After all, the world of immortality is a world where cultivation is based on cultivation. Whoever has a higher cultivation level is the senior.
"Do you even know about my stay in the Song family?"
Luo Qingcheng was a little confused. Why did she feel like a smooth person with no secrets in the eyes of these insects?
"Is it weird? We are"
As soon as the mantis said "but", he was knocked away by a moth.
Luo Qingcheng became more and more confused.
But what?
"We have lived here for who knows how many years. It is not surprising to know about you. We also know that you are a Yuanying monk who turned into a cat for some reason and was accidentally rescued by the Song family. Later, he stayed with the Song family.
?”
Xiao Huai walked forward slowly and explained softly with a smile. His childish little face combined with his scholarly attire gave people a refined and kind atmosphere.
Luo Qingcheng couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
However, she glanced at the insects in front of her and confirmed one thing in her heart. This town was indeed full of weirdness.
It is difficult to see insects that can practice cultivation, not to mention there are so many insects in front of us, and they are of different types.
But she quickly realized something.
These insects can be in the small town, and they have developed intelligence. It is impossible that the mysterious mayor cannot detect them, so is there a possibility?
Are these insects connected to the mysterious mayor?
