Bai Ran did not study these scattered particles carefully, but searched around for anything that was missing, and then began to consider taking care of the giant mantis.
He didn't want to let this monster go. After all, not to mention other things on its body, those forelimbs were definitely good materials for refining weapons that were hard to find in the world of immortality.
As for the idea of capturing this beast alive, Bai Ran thought about it for a moment and then gave up.
Because he knows very well that all monsters that can be controlled by monks have been restrained since childhood and have been domesticated little by little. If you want to take a powerful spiritual beast that you did not feed as your own, this is simply a mistake.
The stuff of daydreams.
I think that the monks of the Yuling Sect lost their bodies and became another person, so they were unable to control the giant mantis. Otherwise, once these monsters are domesticated and mature, they will be loyal and never leave each other for the rest of their lives, which is better than humans.
But he is much more loyal.
As for the matter of going to inform the Seven Sects Allied Forces, Bai Ran thought about it for a while, but still couldn't be sure what the Yuling Sect monks said was true or false, so he planned to stay here for a few more days to see what the news was.
After all, he was very fast. Even if he was delayed for a while, he could still reach the seven factions' camp on time.
So, Bai Ran spent a day quietly setting up the "Inversion of the Five Elements Formation" in a dense forest not far from the cave.
This time, Bai Ran did not just hastily set up a part of the formation like in the palace battle, but had the entire formation completely arranged, and the power was naturally much different than before.
During this period, he saw the giant mantis going out for food again.
What he brought back this time was a huge black tiger. Bai Ran was amazed for a long time.
It was the first time he had seen a black tiger, and it was obviously no ordinary beast. It was a pity that such a strange species fell into the mouth of a giant mantis and could only make a delicious meal.
After making complete preparations, Bai Ran quietly sneaked into the cave at noon.
But in just a moment, he stepped on the divine wind boat and quickly flew out from it, heading straight for the formation.
The black shadow chasing after him was of course the giant mantis that was startled by Bai Ran.
Because the formation was arranged very close, Bai Ran's front feet flew out of the cave, and his back feet entered the coverage area of the formation. Although the mantis monster had a certain amount of intelligence, how could he understand the formation and was easily hit?
Bairan was trapped and trapped in the formation.
In the next two days, Bai Ran allowed the giant mantis to run wildly everywhere within the Inverted Five Elements Formation, giving full play to the illusory effect of the formation in trapping enemies. He restricted it to an area of several acres.
It was not until two days later that the monster was exhausted and wanted to lie down in the formation and stop moving. Then Bai Ran released many puppets and began to harass the monster outside the formation, making it unable to rest for a moment.
This mantid monster belongs to a species with super high attack power but average defense. It doesn't dare to let the puppets attack at close range. It can only keep waving its two mantis arms to protect its whole body.
As a result, it only lasted for half a day. The monster could no longer hold on and began to be hit by the puppets. Although the injuries were not serious, it was obvious that its physical strength was almost exhausted. At this time, Bai Ran,
I also took turns replacing the driving spirit stones for the puppets five or six times.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Bai Ran raised the talisman in his hand - the yellow knife with a handle. Under the cover of the puppets' attack, he penetrated the head of the giant mantis and killed it on the big mantis.
In the array.
Seeing that the work was done, he couldn't hide his excitement and walked to the corpse of the monster, then took out a silver giant sword and cut off its extremely sharp forelimbs.
Then, with great hope, he began to explore the belly of the mantis bit by bit.
He hoped that this monster would be a level five monster, so that he could harvest an extremely precious monster.
Suddenly, Bai Ran's face showed a look of surprise, but it immediately became weird. When he pulled his hand out of the corpse in surprise, there were several oval-shaped objects of the same size in his hand.
It's all white and has some blood streaks on it.
"Monster eggs?" Bai Ran said to himself in shock.
No matter how confused he is, he will not regard these things as the inner elixir of monsters.
But Bai Ran's surprise wasn't over yet. Then he took out seven or eight more pieces from the mantis' belly. Adding the previous ones, there were more than a dozen pieces.
Bai Ran looked at these egg-sized things and couldn't help but smile.
What an unexpected surprise!
But then he thought of something, and suddenly
He frowned and pointed a finger on a white egg, then closed his eyes and sensed
Not long after, Bai Ran's face turned ugly. There was no life in the egg, so it was obviously a dead egg.
Situations like this are common among monsters.
After all, monsters are not ordinary insects and wild beasts. How can they give birth to offspring so easily?
With a gloomy face, Bai Ran checked the remaining eggs one by one. As expected, they were all dead eggs, which made him lick his lips, feeling really depressed.
Bai Ran, secretly angry, wanted to burn the eggs, but after hesitation, he took out a jade box and put them away properly.
"This giant mantis is not an ordinary monster. Even if it is a dead egg, it might have some magical uses!" Bai Ran thought with some reluctance.
After taking off a pair of gray wings from the mantis, Bai Ran turned the monster's body into ashes and flew back to the cave.
Although there was little hope, Bai Ran still wanted to see if he could gain anything else?
After entering the cave and checking it out, Bai Ran was shocked.
In the corner of the cave, Bai Ran unexpectedly found a white skeleton covered in gray robes. On top of the bones was a intact storage bag pinned to his waist.
Bai Ran held the storage bag in his hand, his heart pounding.
Without asking him, he knew that these bones must be the remains of the Yuling Sect monk. He actually didn't put the storage bag in a separate storage bag before the soul left the body. This really surprised Bai Ran!
Of course Bai Ran didn't know that the monk from the Yuling Sect was so seriously injured that his body was about to die. He still had to take care of his funeral affairs. All he had to do was wrap up the "Green Brilliance Sword" and condense a small amount of spiritual energy in the golden elixir.
After becoming a green pill, he left the body in a panic and took the two things soul with him.
After all, if it is too late, the soul will die together with the body.
Bai Ran was naturally extremely curious about the storage bag belonging to a monk in the alchemy stage.
He barely suppressed the excitement in his heart, put his consciousness deep into the bag, and began to carefully examine the contents.
However, after Bai Ran's consciousness completely circulated in it, Bai Ran almost fainted out of anger.
In such a large storage bag, there are actually bottles and jars of things. Most of them are engraved with the food of some monster or insect, so Bai Ran has no use at all. The other half is slightly better.
, are some samples of various insects, with the names of the insects also engraved on them.
Bai Ran sensed it for a while, and found that most of the bugs in the bottle were still alive, which surprised Bai Ran.
No one has raised them for several years, but they are still alive. They are so tenacious!
As for the high-end talismans, urgently needed magic weapons and talismans that Bai Ran expected, none of them were found in this storage bag, which left Bai Ran speechless for most of the day.
Fortunately, Bai Ran finally found a green jade slip at the bottom of the storage bag. Bai Ran was very moved by what was inside.
It contained some experiences of the Yuling Sect monk cultivating strange insects. Not only did he introduce thousands of strange insects that Bai Ran had never heard of, but he also had some secret methods for cultivating and controlling insects. What interested Bai Ran the most was that he actually used these methods to cultivate strange insects.
The insects were ranked based on their severity.
Of course, the giant mantis was among them. It was obviously gray, but he actually called it the "golden-backed mantis." This made Bai Ran blink his eyes, a little puzzled.
However, this giant mantis only ranked 73rd among the many strange insects. There were actually 72 more powerful monsters in front of it. This made Bai Ran, who had seen the "golden-backed monster mantis", secretly surprised!
Bai Ran watched with relish for a long time before withdrawing his consciousness from the jade slip. After pondering for a while, he began to compare the insect samples in his hand according to the strange insects introduced by the slip.
As a result, Bai Ran became more and more dissatisfied the more he looked at it!
Bai Ran doesn't ask what other uses these bugs have, but the rankings are too low! There are only two kinds in the top 100, and they are right at the bottom of the list.
Most of them are between 200 and 300 people!
Bai Ran didn't know that if his words of complaint were heard by the Yuling Sect monk, he would definitely point at his nose and curse! How could these strange insects be so easy to collect? Not to mention a hundred, just the former ones.
Three to four hundred of them are rare and rare species in the world. They have spent hundreds of years of hard work and plundering to get their hands on them.
