Chapter 73 Genetic Mutation! A New Kind of Cannibalistic Demonic Insect! [New Book, Please Follow!]
"Hiss... Even those sect elders couldn't stop it?" Han Li couldn't help but gasp. He hadn't expected that a tiny demonic insect could cause such terrifying destruction.
"The main problem is that they can't be killed off completely. You can think of the Source Blood Mosquitoes as a kind of virus that reproduces wildly by destroying the environment. They can't destroy Nascent Soul stage monsters, or even Foundation Establishment stage monsters, but they can destroy the environment that supports them," Meng De explained.
"..." Han Li closed his mouth several times, wanting to say something, but ultimately found that he couldn't say anything.
For some inexplicable reason, Han Li suddenly recalled the information he had gathered in Meng Village, and his gaze towards Meng De instantly became strange and complex...
The old village chief of Meng Village wasn't wrong; this Meng De... does seem to be a little... immoral...
"Such a dangerous thing... can't it be controlled properly..." Han Li said with a complicated expression.
"There are too many; we can't control them." Meng De shook his head. If there were only two or three Source Blood Mosquitoes, then naturally there wouldn't be a spread. Or, like the Gold-Eating Insects, their self-reproduction rate is slow, and if they are discovered, it's just a matter of 'thanking nature for its gift'.
"Alright... I'll keep a close eye out for people skilled in formations." Han Li stared at Meng De, who looked utterly innocent, for a long time before finally letting out a long breath and sighing.
Han Li initially thought Tiannan was a good place; he wanted to cultivate there and also find the female cultivator from the Hidden Moon Sect. However, based on Meng De's description, Han Li felt that helping Meng De now was helping his future self... at least it was leaving himself a way out of Tiannan, wasn't it?
"Yes, I will try my best to leave some remedial measures to reduce the damage." Meng De nodded slightly, then chatted with Han Li for a while before parting ways, agreeing that the next time they met would be when Han Li reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
......
After returning to Spirit Beast Mountain, Meng De began to take the pills provided by Han Li and went into seclusion to cultivate.
Six months later, after consuming countless Golden Marrow Pills and Yellow Dragon Pills, Meng De finally broke through to the eleventh level of Qi Refining. Subsequently, he discovered that the efficacy of the two pills began to decline significantly.
"Eleventh level of Qi Refining..." Inside the secret chamber of Blackwater Manor, Meng De opened his eyes in the darkness, his blood and qi instantly released, and a powerful aura shook the surrounding doors and windows!
With his Qi Refining eleventh level cultivation and the Blood Spirit Demon Body at the late Blood Refining Realm, Meng De discovered that his physical strength was already capable of contending with some adult level one demonic beasts.
After breaking through the eleventh level of Qi Refining, Meng De's cultivation speed slowed down considerably. Fortunately, Han Li distributed disaster relief pills, and even if he developed immunity to them, Meng De was still able to slowly reach the thirteenth level of Qi Refining.
However, Meng De, who had broken through the eleventh level of Qi Refining, went out to visit Jinxia Peak. He only saw Yunxi, who was tending the medicine garden with the black and white spirit bears. Qingli was still in seclusion, preparing to break through to the Core Formation stage.
Mengde's feelings towards Yunxi were complicated, as she was someone who had tried to save him in a way.
Therefore, he didn't know how to communicate with Yunxi, so after exchanging a few normal pleasantries, he gave her a small bottle of first-level source blood.
"...Senior Sister, this bottle of spiritual blood has the effect of strengthening the body, it might be useful to you." After leaving the small bottle of source blood, Meng De turned around and walked down the mountain, without flying in the boat in front of Yunxi.
The small bottle of first-level source blood that Meng De gave away was underestimated; it basically represented all of Meng De's gains over the past six months.
One drop of first-grade source blood requires one cubic meter of first-grade source blood demonic insects to refine, while ten drops of first-grade source blood can enable Meng De, who is in the late stage of the Blood Moving Realm, to achieve a 'full blood resurrection', instantly restoring his blood spiritual power to full.
The small bottle of first-grade source blood that Mengde gave away contained at least twenty drops of first-grade source blood... enough to replenish Yunxi's blood and qi, which had been completely destroyed and was depleted, for four or five years...
If possible, Mengde could have extracted more in the past six months, but because the environmental resources near Blackwater Village were almost destroyed, the growth rate of the Blood Source Demon Insects that had been reduced to eating soil slowed down a lot, so in the end, he could only extract this small bottle of first-level Blood Source.
"..." Yunxi, whose hair was turning gray due to depletion of her life force, looked at the small red glass bottle in her hand that still held a faint warmth from her body, looked up at Mengde's disappearing figure on the steps, and sighed softly.
"Alas... Lord Xiong Jun, your kindness is as great as my hatred. To be honest, I didn't want to do this either..." Yunxi sighed softly. If it weren't for the fact that her dantian was completely destroyed, and that she chose to take the blame for Mengde in order to offer the last bit of value to Qingli, she would have done so.
Yunxi and Qingli both come from a reclusive family outside the Yue Kingdom, called the Yunmeng Clan.
The Yunmeng clan was founded by the Fox Hill Taoist and a human female cultivator hundreds of years ago. Theoretically, high-level cultivators, whether human or transformed demons, have a very low chance of having offspring. However, the Yunmeng clan was born by chance, and to prevent the demon fox bloodline from being schemed against by the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation Sect, the Yunmeng clan has always lived a secluded life.
Until a hundred years ago, the Yunmeng clan unexpectedly learned that the Fox Hill Ancestor, who had been wandering all over the world, had appeared in the Spirit Beast Mountain. So Qing Li, who was still in the Foundation Establishment stage, as the most outstanding cultivator of the clan in this generation, went alone to the Spirit Beast Mountain of Yue Kingdom to become a disciple of Fairy Qingling and to get on the coattails of the Fox Hill Ancestor.
Originally, Fox Hill Taoist didn't care much about the Yunmeng Clan, after all, they were all descendants of descendants... However, Qing Li was a special case. The Heavenly Demon Fox bloodline hidden in her body showed signs of reversion, causing her to be the only one in the entire Yunmeng Clan to exhibit beast-like characteristics.
Therefore, Fox Hill Taoist paid close attention to Qing Li's Golden Core formation, pointing out that the key to Qing Li's Golden Core formation was that without the assistance of the pills refined from the Seven-Leaf Yin Blood Fungus, the Demon Golden Core would be difficult to form.
Fox Hill Taoist's interest in Qing Li stemmed essentially from his curiosity about the ancestral bloodline. He didn't know whether Qing Li, with his strong demon bloodline, would ultimately condense a demon core or a golden core without external help.
Of course, Fox Hill Taoist understood that the demonic power was so violent that if Qing Li were to condense a demon core, her body would likely be torn apart and she would explode and die... Only with the help of pills refined from the Seven-Leaf Yin Blood Mushroom could Qing Li condense a golden core with pure and gentle spiritual power, which would be her only way to survive.
Thus, Yunxi, who was originally sent by the Yunmeng clan to be Qingli's confidante, became a key figure in helping Qingli break through to the Core Formation Realm.
Therefore, Yunxi felt that Mengde didn't need to be so grateful to her; she was only doing this to maximize her own value.
......
After leaving Golden Cloud Peak, Meng De did not rush back to Blackwater Manor. Instead, he took a detour around the various peaks of Spirit Beast Mountain according to their gathering times before returning. Coincidentally, the Spirit Beast Peak he could visit this month was named Blood Lion Peak.
After returning from Blood Lion Peak, Mengde found a strange blood-scaled flying mosquito in his sleeve.
Based on its genetic traits, this should be a Blood Demon Insect cultivated by the Blood Lion Peak Master using the blood of the Blood Demon Golden Lion King, a demon core realm cultivator...
But what truly piqued Mengde's interest in the blood-scaled mosquitoes was...
This source blood demon worm,
He has a bloodthirsty nature.
Yes,
They eat their own kind.
