Xiaoman carefully poked his head out of the hidden cave.
Under the bright moonlight, she saw countless buildings in the central area of Qingshan Town, all wrapped together in layers of white, black, blue, and purple.
Like a giant silkworm cocoon.
There seemed to be something inside that was breathing regularly.
This is already the third day that Xiaoman has entered Qingshan Town.
At first, she only dared to wander around the perimeter. After killing a Shura, she immediately escaped.
But slowly, she became more and more courageous.
Slowly she began to penetrate deep into the core of this ruined city.
Soon she realized something was wrong.
This town, abandoned for hundreds of years, was once the most prosperous market in Qingshan County.
There were only some low-level Shura wandering in the ruins.
It's amazing, but it's just a mindless ghost.
Until she found this place.
This is where the market of Qingshan Town used to be.
The old man told Xiaoman that the market in Qingshan Town was prosperous and lively in those days.
There are hundreds of restaurants and hundreds of shops, and pedestrians come and go like clouds, sweating like rain.
You can buy almost everything here.
Oil, salt, cloth, needle and thread...
As for elixirs, exercises, and magical weapons...
What a pity, the sky is falling!
The immortal gods from the thirty-third heaven fell down like raindrops.
Countless Shura and demons swarmed in through the gap in the sky.
Everything is finished.
A prosperous city with a strong sect.
All destroyed!
The human race and the demon race even had to abandon all the cultivation methods they had in the past.
Only sword cultivators can still exist.
Even so, he had to hide here and there, even imitating rats and building a crisscrossing underground city underground.
Even so, you still have to tighten your nerves.
Sentries were sent out one after another, using the flesh and blood of young people to delay time.
Thinking of this, Xiaoman slowly returned to the cellar.
She sat cross-legged on the ground.
She discovered this cellar in an abandoned inn yesterday.
It covers a large area and covers almost half of Qingshan Town underground.
Perhaps, this place was once a refuge for human beings.
However, the people have already left the city, leaving no clues.
It is precisely because of this underground network that Xiaoman can get close to this place.
You can even quietly observe the 'cocoon' that covers and wraps the entire market.
She recalled what her eyes had just glimpsed.
Dozens of ghosts and monsters were lying on the open space outside the cocoon.
Hundreds of various Shura monsters were densely surrounding the big cocoon.
This was only the part she could see.
There might be ten times this number of Shura in places she couldn't see.
This made Xiaoman very uneasy.
She already knows that the essence of Shura is a group of monsters dominated and twisted by desire.
Even if these things have intelligence, they will only be filled with murder and madness.
Therefore, it is impossible for them to gather outside that big cocoon quietly and in a disciplined manner.
"There is only one possibility..." Xiaoman thought: "The things inside the cocoon are extremely critical to these Shura!"
but……
What could that be?
Xiaoman didn't know, but she was very panicked.
Subconsciously, she felt that if something inside the cocoon hatched.
So……
She is about to be in trouble!
boom!
At this time, there was a huge vibration on the ground, which soon became continuous.
It seemed like something was attacking that market.
And the Shuras are fighting!
Xiaoman cautiously approached the exit of the cave, and she slowly poked her head out.
Then, she saw a scene that she couldn't believe!
Several black figures were coming through the air.
They hold a piece of magic weapon in their hands.
There was a strange and arrogant cry in his mouth.
Some people even shouted loudly: "Slaves! How dare you stop the great saint clan?!"
"die!"
So, he rolled up countless rubbles with his long sleeves and smashed them at the Shuras who were frantically blocking him.
Each Shura was knocked away directly.
There were even ghosts and monsters who were directly smashed to pieces by a magic weapon.
Countless ruined buildings collapsed one by one.
However, the Shura people risked their lives and stopped them at all costs.
"That's right!" Xiaoman took a deep breath: "Heavenly Demon!"
There is no doubt that these attackers are all demons!
Moreover, they are demons occupying the bodies of those powerful monks.
Only these things dare to fly arrogantly in the sky behind the sky!
But the problem is...
Xiao Man remembered that the old people once said that the demons all have the ability to command and even control Shura.
There was once a great demon who controlled and drove hundreds of thousands of Shuras to besiege a large sect of the human race.
Finally, relying on the flesh and blood of the Shura, the extremely powerful sect was destroyed.
Even the head of the sect had his flesh, blood, and soul eaten by the demons.
What's going on?
Are the Demons and Shura at war with each other?
This is something unprecedented!
Just as Xiaoman was thinking, the demons had quickly eliminated the Shuras who were blocking them.
The entire ruins were destroyed by them.
The ground was littered with broken bodies of Shura.
The demons have fallen to the ground one by one.
They slowly approached the 'cocoon'.
Xiaoman looked at it, holding his breath, his soul completely restrained, and his eyes did not dare to relax in the slightest.
She doesn't worry about being discovered!
Although the divine consciousness of the demons is extremely powerful, it has one shortcoming - it is difficult for them to peer under the soil.
A thin inch of soil is enough to cut off the consciousness of these powerful monsters.
Since then, no one knows why?
But now, Xiaoman knows the reason.
The earth wraps a sacred mountain!
This sacred mountain was brought by the candle dragon before the creation of the world.
It is the sacred mountain where Zhulong comes from.
It is wrapped by the earth and slowly regains its strength.
Today, countless years later, the sacred mountain is slowly recovering.
Its power is rendered from deep within the earth's core, naturally forming a protective film.
The reason why humans or monsters are not blocked by this protective film is because the creatures in the world are actually children of the sacred mountain.
but……
Demons and Shura are different.
They are invaders.
Nature is isolated by the power of the sacred mountain.
Therefore, Xiaoman dared to poke his head out of the cave to observe without restraint.
As long as the consciousness is well controlled, even the demons at the level of immortals and gods may not be able to detect her.
Under Xiaoman's gaze, the demons slowly approached the big cocoon.
Then, they surrounded the big cocoon and began to reach out to touch the cocoon silk.
But as soon as their hands touched the cocoon silk, something seemed to be stuck to it.
then……
A pair of slender white arms suddenly stretched out from the big cocoon.
This arm peeked out of the cocoon.
It suddenly transformed into an extremely ferocious creature, with a huge strange mouth that looked like petals.
Click!
The big mouth was aimed at a demon, and his head was covered.
The demon's body burst out with powerful power.
Each magical weapon was sacrificed from this demon.
But to no avail!
That big mouth ignored it all.
With a click, the demon and its magic weapon were all bitten.
Click click click…
The sound of breaking bones.
Gurgling...Gurgling...
The foul-smelling blood in the demon's body kept flowing out from its big mouth.
The big mouth swallowed.
The demon's flesh, blood, and bones, along with its soul and magic weapon, were all swallowed.
Then, the big mouth opened again.
The edge of the petal-like mouth has countless jagged things, which are blue under the moonlight.
That's extremely poisonous!
Click!
Click!
One big mouthful...
All the demons were swallowed up.
Then, it transformed into a fair and slender beautiful arm, and slowly retracted into the cocoon.
at the same time.
An extremely powerful spiritual consciousness came out of the cocoon.
Like a hurricane, it swept across the entire Qingshan Town.
The original houses in Qingshan Town collapsed one by one in front of this spiritual consciousness.
Xiaoman staggered even more and hurriedly fell back from the entrance of the cave.
That divine consciousness was still echoing in her mind.
That is an extremely twisted and evil consciousness.
Just by feeling it, Xiaoman was already frightened.
Xiaoman gasped for air.
"What the hell is that?"
What is certain is that that thing is not a demon at all, nor is it a Shura.
But a kind of monster that has never been seen before!
It seems to be in a certain state now.
"cocoon……"
"Change cocoon into butterfly..."
Xiaoman thought.
"If this is the case, the thing inside the cocoon may be an extremely terrifying and terrifying thing!"
"Things that even demons are afraid of!"
Apparently...
Those demons just want to eradicate it.
Or……
The demons were deliberately attracted by it.
The development of this monster requires the souls of the demons!
Thinking of this, Xiaoman plucked up the courage and crawled towards the exit of the cave again. She slowly poked her head out.
I saw Shuras getting up from the ground one after another.
They slowly moved closer to the 'cocoon'.
Like a loyal guard, guarding.
"What exactly is in there?" Xiaoman didn't know.
But she understood that that thing was definitely not something she could deal with.
Even now, it's still in the cocoon!
Can't stay here any longer!
Xiaoman thought, and she bowed her body and walked slowly and carefully from the long and narrow passage underground to the distance.
When she was halfway there.
Something moved in her heart.
"Maybe... I can go inside that cocoon and have a look..."
The underground passage here does not lead to the inside of the cocoon.
but……
Xiaoman remembers that human underground shelters usually have multiple levels.
This is designed to take advantage of the fact that Shura and demons cannot peer into the underground.
The connections and designs between each layer are different.
It depends on the concept of different designers.
Moreover, because the demons will steal the soul memories of humans and monsters.
so……
The design of most shelters will be constantly updated.
Initially, the underground passage of the shelter was a mechanism.
Later it became a magic circle, and now it is a magic circle mixed with organs.
Sometimes the magic circle is the key to open the mechanism, and sometimes the mechanism is the door to the magic circle.
Legend has it that some truly outstanding shelter designers can even create secret keys using the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches and the Qimen Dunjia.
The passages and entrances on each floor change positions all the time.
But, that's the current design.
Moreover, it is a design that can only be found in large-scale shelters, shelters with strong Nascent Soul shelters.
Designing entrances and passages for an abandoned shelter like this shouldn't be too complicated.
After all, this place no longer serves as a refuge.
Those precious magic circles and mechanisms should have also been dismantled.
So Xiaoman immediately turned back.
She returned to the cave and searched there.
But after searching every corner, there was no entrance.
so……
"Is this a password-controlled entrance?" Xiaoman thought.
If this is the case, then it may be difficult for her to find an entrance in the short term.
but……
Xiaoman looked at this cave and knew that it couldn't be a password-controlled cave.
Because the password-based entrance requires the coordination of an extremely complex array, and it also requires precious spiritual stones as energy.
Besides...
This place has been abandoned for a long time.
There are no traces of human presence in the passages and corridors that have been here for a long time.
So, Xiaoman stood on tiptoes and reached out to rub the wall.
Finally, she touched something that seemed to be writing.
"Sure enough!" Xiaoman laughed, and she slowly twisted the text.
Click, click, click...
A faint voice came from a corner of the cave.
Xiaoman walked over and saw an entrance about one foot wide.
She reached out cautiously and touched a rotten rope.
Then, she knew she had found it.
He jumped down from here.
thump!
She landed firmly on the ground.
The ground is very soft, probably dirt.
Xiaoman opened his eyes and looked at the dark surroundings.
The sword cultivator's vision allowed her to see every detail here clearly.
This is a very old shelter design.
Most of the surrounding walls are made of wooden boards.
Lamps are lined up on both sides of the wall.
But Xiaoman didn't need to light the lamp. She looked at the direction and walked towards the direction wrapped in the big cocoon.
Soon she walked along the entrance corridor to the living area of the underground shelter.
There are many scattered living utensils here.
In the walls on both sides, there are cave dwellings carved out by hand.
Most of the shelters are built in holes.
Xiaoman ignored this. She continued to move forward, passed through the living area, and walked into another corridor.
When she reached the end, a wooden staircase appeared in front of her.
Xiaoman climbed up the stairs and encountered a hard stone slab.
She gently pressed a mechanism next to her.
The stone slabs above slowly moved, and countless dust fell down.
Above, there is still a cave.
"This must be a shelter design from seventy or eighty years ago..." Xiaoman thought about what he saw.
Now, even the simplest temporary shelter is much more complicated than this.
As long as the demon cannot find the entrance, then people are safe.
At least you can take the opportunity to escape through other exits.
And with a shelter design like this, once discovered, it is almost impossible to escape!
only……
Xiaoman just wanted to climb out.
She stopped immediately.
Because, she felt the velvet, which was like silk or spider silk.
That monster...
Did you spit its silk into this cave?
Does it know this cave?
Are these threads used for early warning?
Xiaoman thought of this and immediately flew back.
but……
That's too late!
Those threads seemed to have sensed her presence.
He immediately followed the entrance of the cave and rolled towards her.
Xiaoman had no choice but to draw out his dagger, and the soul fire ignited.
Then he slashed towards the entrance of the cave in mid-air.
The soul fire slashed at the silk threads that were curling towards Xiaoman.
These silk waddings faced the soul fire directly without any fear.
Peng!
When the soul fire and silk wadding met, they immediately made a muffled sound.
Then, it burned.
ah!
The shrill screams screamed in the eardrums, making Xiaoman's head hurt.
The velvet in contact with the soul fire broke immediately and fell to the ground.
The soul fire immediately shot back towards Xiaoman.
The remaining silk wadding crawled back to the entrance of the cave like a snake.
Obviously, they are afraid of soul fire!
The returning soul fire penetrated from Xiaoman's eyes.
They look a little weak!
This is the first time Xiaoman discovered that Soul Fire will be weak.
Obviously, just burning those silk waddings has consumed their energy.
This frightened Xiaoman so much that he knew it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, so he immediately turned around and left.
Facts also proved her judgment.
On the ground, every Shura stood up.
What did they feel.
Rush to the whole town immediately.
They began to rummage through the ruins.
The invaders are underground.
The entrance must be found!
…………………………………………
It's already night.
Lingpingan had just had dinner and was holding his cell phone and watching a short video.
This is a clip from a documentary.
It's about an insect called a parasitic wasp.
Lingpingan looked at it and was amazed.
“The world is full of wonders!”
In the video, the parasitic wasp lays its eggs inside the body of the caterpillar.
Not one, but a dozen.
These eggs actually carry special viruses that interfere with and paralyze the caterpillar's immune system.
As a result, the eggs hatch safely within the host's body.
The caterpillar becomes the bodyguard, nanny and wet nurse of these things.
The larvae of the parasitic wasp suck the blood of the caterpillar and grow on the supply of the caterpillar.
Finally, they grew up.
Then he bit through the outer skin of the caterpillar and crawled out of its body densely.
At this time, the key point comes!
The caterpillar is not dead yet!
The caterpillar, which has been a slave to these parasitic wasps all its life, now becomes the bodyguard of these larvae.
It not only does everything it can to protect these extremely vulnerable parasitic wasps.
He also spins silk and spins cocoons for them.
Eventually, the caterpillar dies of exhaustion on the parasitic wasp's cocoon.
And a brand new parasitic wasp breaks out of the cocoon.
Next, they will embark on a journey to reproduce and find caterpillars.
Lingpingan watched this video several times.
"It's really amazing!" After reading it again, he sighed.
This parasitic wasp's strategy is simply amazing.
Parasitizing the host, making the host act like a cow or a horse, and serve loyally even in life and death.
This is material that can be written into a book and become a swarm of insects.
Um!
Lingpingan nodded!
He knew that as long as this strategy was changed, the insect swarm would become very violent.
Parasitism - growth - plunder, reproduction...
Then, digest everything of a race.
He felt that readers might like such a swarm of insects!
Thinking of this, he clicked on the 'Nightmare Legend Familia Manager' on his mobile phone.
I haven't watched it in a few days.
It’s time to go see it!
By the way, consider the magical modification of the parasitic wasp.
…………………………
Outside Qingshan Town.
Xiaoman's figure appeared from the drainage channel on one side of the river.
This is the emergency escape route for the shelter.
She turned back and looked at Qingshan Town in the night.
Suddenly...
She felt the earth tremble!
The trembling direction is the market in Qingshan Town.
Under the moonlight, countless smoke and dust are rising.
In the smoke and dust, a woman's figure with wings like a dragonfly has risen into the sky.
Xiaoman looked at it.
She knew that it was what was inside the cocoon.
It has emerged from the cocoon!
Facing the moonlight, the woman-like thing spread its wings.
The moonlight flowed into her body like water.
She is practicing!
Xiaoman's hands began to tremble.
It is practicing!
And as we all know, neither demons nor Shura know how to practice!
These monsters only have crazy paranoia and a thirst for flesh and blood!
but now……
A monster, a monster born from Shura is practicing!
Xiaoman's body trembled because of this discovery.
what does that mean?
She knew it all too well.
A brand new creature!
Between heaven and earth, new creatures appeared!
In other words, if in the future, the human race and the demon race become extinct.
Then, this kind of creature will become the true master of this world.
same……
Xiaoman knows...
The humans and monsters in the world have reached their most dangerous moment!
As long as this brand new creature exists for one day, the human race and the demon race will not be able to take back the world!
Something people once fantasized about.
Relying on the underground shelter to avoid demons and Shura.
Hold on until these monsters run out of strength, their flesh and blood dries up, and they roll back into the void.
Everyone’s dream of coming out of the underground and regaining the heaven and earth went bankrupt in front of this new creature!
