Chapter 887: Three Corpses Insect
Qinshan came to a five-grade spirit beast below and shook the ancient mirror at it.
A green shadow flashed past, and inside the ancient mirror, a cluster of green qi slowly formed.
“This strange treasure is known as the Green Beast Ancient Mirror. Its value within the Thousand Beast Sect is extremely high, far surpassing that of ordinary low-grade magical treasures.”
“It seems to be cultivating the spirits of tens of thousands of monster beasts within, capable of revealing the flesh body and divine soul of spirit beasts. As soon as an abnormality appears, it will be reflected on the mirror’s surface.”
When Lu Xuan was intently studying the ancient mirror in Qinshan’s hand, the Green Wood Star Owner came to his side without notice and transmitted his voice to him.
“So it is such a strange treasure. Thank you, senior, for the information.”
...
Perhaps because of the pure plant spiritual energy on Lu Xuan’s body, the Green Wood Star Owner seemed to have a good impression of him, with a hint of warmth in his words.
However, the ancient mirror in Qinshan’s hand showed changes at this moment.
The green qi turned into a green shadow that was seven or eight parts similar to the spirit beast it shined upon. Looking closely, one could find faint wisps of black qi on it.
The black qi was very active, constantly moving and appearing and disappearing within the green shadow.
Qinshan stared at the black qi in the green shadow for a long time, his brow deeply furrowed, his expression grave.
“Does Fellow Qin perhaps have a discovery?”
After a moment, Thunderfire True Monarch broke the silence and asked Qinshan.
“Judging from that black qi, it indeed is the work of an evil demon. However, as for more specifics, this junior is unable to discern.”
“The source of the black qi, its location within the spirit beast’s body, and the method to deal with it will all require the seniors to find another approach.”
Qinshan shook his head, a trace of helplessness in his tone.
“You have worked hard, Fellow Qin.”
Thunderfire True Monarch said with no expression on his face to Qinshan.
“I will give it a try.”
Just as Lu Xuan was about to step forward to inspect the spirit beast with unusual changes, Elder Bai Shou suddenly spoke.
He looked absolutely confident in himself, and flew in front of a trapped spirit beast. His throat bulged as he emitted a series of strange sounds.
Lu Xuan retracted his steps and stood quietly in his place, watching the old man communicate with the spirit beast.
He wasn’t optimistic about the old man’s action.
Spirit beasts of the fifth rank and above could have possibly refined their horizontal bones and be capable of speaking human language.
After losing their divine souls, they might only remember their primal instincts, but the sounds they made were likely not any normal animal language.
Beast roars, as they reached Elder Bai Shou’s ears, were all meaningless notes, entirely failing to extract any information from the spirit beast’s roars.
Lu Xuan, with a calm demeanor, spoke up.
“Alright, Little friend Lu, feel free to inspect without any burden.”
Thunderfire True Monarch nodded in agreement.
The crowd watched Lu Xuan enter the Spiritual Energy Shield with a serene gaze, their hearts undisturbed like ancient wells.
Authentic Teachings of Great Sects and Primordial Infant True Monarchs were helpless against these mutated spirit beasts, grasping only the faintest leads.
Lu Xuan was expected to face the same outcome.
Under the watchful eyes of many, Lu Xuan pretentiously inspected the entrapped mutated spirit beasts, taking out a Spirit Fruit from his storage bag and forcibly stuffing it into the mouth of a spirit beast.
“Friend Lu, what are you doing?”
Qinshan couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.
“Perhaps he is using the Spirit Fruit to close the distance with the spirit beast? To lower its guard?”
The Green Wood Star Owner guessed softly.
“Such a thing would hardly be effective under normal conditions, let alone now when it has lost its reason.”
“It’s utterly superfluous.”
Elder Bai Shou chuckled lightly, his expression carrying a touch of scorn.
In his view, Lu Xuan’s behavior was merely a pretense for the benefit of the three Star Masters and served no real purpose.
“Could feeding it a Spirit Fruit reveal the root of the problem?”
No matter what the others thought, Lu Xuan concentrated on the mutated spirit beast as it swallowed the Spirit Fruit.
Suddenly, a thought flashed across the Sea of Consciousness.
[Silver Light Tiger, a Fifth Rank Spirit Beast, extremely fast, capable of performing strange Escape Techniques, ranked at the forefront among Equal Rank Monster Beasts, invaded by the Three Corpses Insect, gradually losing its divine consciousness.]
[Three Corpses Insect, a type of Demon Insect spawned within the bodies of Mid and High Rank Evil Demons, evolving during the severance of the three corpses, invisible and colorless, with elusive movements, difficult to detect by the Spiritual Sense of Primordial Infant Cultivators.]
[The Three Corpses Insect favors robust-bodied and simple-minded Monster Beasts, capable of silently invading their bodies, merging with the Monster Beast’s Divine Soul, taking over its flesh body, and serving as nourishment.]
[Only when soaked in the Supreme Yang Spirit Spring Liquid will the Three Corpses Insect have nowhere to hide and reveal its form.]
“It’s indeed related to evil demons!”
“Three Corpses Insect... this is the first I’ve heard of it. Judging by the description, it truly is a rarity in this world.”
“The stronger the flesh body and the simpler the Spiritual Intelligence, the greater the attraction to it. No wonder it only invaded Monster Beasts and none of the cultivators within Heavenly Star Cave show any anomalies.”
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
