Chapter 186: Resurrection of the Insects
Chapter 186: Resurrection of the Insects
Under the gloomy sky, the rain was fine and silky, with a barely perceptible black glow, floating into the woods below.
The trees in the forest were neither tall nor densely packed, but their branches and leaves were unusually lush, and the broad, emerald green leaves were covered with dark spots, as if they were diseased.
"Click."
Randall didn't pay attention to his feet when he landed. He only reacted when he heard the crackling sound in the soil. He looked down and saw a thick liquid flowing out from his feet.
"Sin, sin, sin."
He recognized it as an unknown insect egg at a glance and couldn't help but frowned.
As an insect lover, he didn't think it was a good sign that he crushed an insect egg with his first step when he came in.
Without waiting for his order, a golden beetle crawled out from the wizard's robe. The environment here made the golden beetle extremely excited. Seeing that Randall didn't take any action, the golden beetle muttered a few complaints.
If someone could understand what he said, they would find that the golden beetle mentioned the names of his disciples Ivan, Xiangdie, and Fengmoth, and also mentioned words like "shameful" and "too embarrassed to see people", venting his dissatisfaction to Randall.
"This is the reason why you refused to come out before." Randall looked at his golden beetle general with a helpless look.
His swarm of insects were no ordinary ones either. They were called 'Nine-Colored Glass Insects' and were divided into nine colors, with gold, green, red, blue and black being the most important. The most prominent one was of course the golden beetle in front of him, which he specially named 'Golden Beetle General'.
The golden beetle will have a high level of intelligence, but it will still be a step away from becoming a truly intelligent creature.
As Randall's insect, it considered itself the elder of the Swiftwood Silkworm clan. However, two of its descendants surpassed it and became intelligent creatures first.
This is definitely a very embarrassing thing for General Golden Beetle.
To the extent that, when the scent butterfly and the wind moth appeared, it didn't even respond to Randall's call and just didn't want to show up.
At this moment, seeing that Randall still had the nerve to smile, the Golden Beetle looked at him angrily and muttered a few words to his face.
"You're right. I can't let my own disciples outperform me. I'm too ashamed to claim the title of the academy's number one insect controller." Randall restrained his smile and said seriously.
Sometimes, he couldn't help but sigh at his disciple's good luck. Of course, it wasn't just luck. It was never an easy thing for insects to transform into intelligent creatures. His disciple probably didn't have a deep understanding of this.
In any case, Ivan already has two intelligent bugs under his command, but as his mentor, he does not have any. This is an ironclad fact.
If it were in other areas, such as enchanting and alchemy, Randall would only express appreciation.
When it comes to raising insects, he actually felt a little bit unconvinced, but he didn't show it in front of his disciples.
Seeing that his wizard finally understood his feelings, the Golden Beetle took the opportunity to state his goal this time, which was to further become an intelligent creature.
Randall nodded. The man and the insect reached a consensus on their goal, and they walked deeper into the secret realm with high morale.
The area where he was located was lined with trees that looked like they were sick. With his rich experience, Randall soon found a nest hidden in the mud.
After peeling off the soil on the outside, a layered ant nest is revealed. The complexity of the nest is amazing, but there is no ant inside.
The golden beetle will be able to smell the sweet aroma of ant honey.
"Randall."
Randall had just covered the ground with soil after collecting the ant honey with its unique aroma when a familiar figure appeared not far away. It turned out to be his good friend Jasmine.
Without waiting for Randall to answer, the golden beetle spat out a ray of "dust-turning gray light" from its mouth, and the gray light quickly submerged Jasmine who was approaching.
Randall did not stop this.
After being attacked by the gray light, Jasmine's whole body became stiff, and her true appearance was revealed. It turned out that she was disguised by a group of densely packed insects. Under the influence of the gray light, the insects turned into dust and drifted away with the wind.
"Randall, I finally caught up with you."
A few seconds later, another familiar figure caught up with me. "Hey Jasmine, you've made great progress this time. You can even catch up not far behind me."
"That is."
This is naturally Jasmine herself, not a bug in disguise.
The two chose to move forward together.
Suddenly, some strange changes occurred in the secret realm.
Randall and Jasmine looked at each other and noticed new changes in the surroundings, even the atmosphere became more active.
The next moment, the soil underfoot began to wriggle, rustling sounds came from the trees, cracks appeared on the surface of the rock, and the clouds in the sky unconsciously began to transform into insect-like shadows.
The two understood that this was due to the influence of some kind of aura, and all kinds of insects were about to emerge.
The golden beetle will tell Randall a piece of news. It smells a more tempting bloody aroma. Deeper in the secret realm, there is something it desires extremely.
"go!"
In fact, not only the golden beetle general, but Randall's other insect generals also had the same feeling and gradually became restless.
Jasmine is also an experienced insect controller, and her insects feel the same way.
The two immediately decided to take a look deep into the secret realm.
In other places, whether in front or behind, all wizards who raised insects noticed the abnormality at the same time, and some of them remembered the words of the man when they entered the secret realm.
'The thicker the gathering of insect aura, the more valuable the resources that appear.'
According to the comparison of the number of people in the past, this time when the Crimson Cloud Realm reopens, I am afraid that something extraordinary will appear in the deepest part of the secret realm.
For a moment, a large number of wizards did not bother to look for other valuable resources, and rushed directly towards the depths of the secret realm.
Only the wizards who had taken the camouflage potion were confused. They were already at the front end of the secret realm and had no idea of the changes in the depths of the secret realm.
……
The end of the secret realm.
Only Ivan and the masked wizard exist.
There were five pools surrounded by stones, and each of them occupied one. There was a stone pool between the two of them, the distance was neither too close nor too far.
Under the gaze of the two, black gurgling water appeared in the distance, flowing slowly along the small ditch and flowing into the stone pool.
Ivan did not act rashly. He could sense that the black liquid seemed to be the blood of the advanced giant insect at the end. It looked calm and unremarkable, but in fact it contained terrifying energy and an unprecedentedly strong insect scent.
"Wizard Ivan, I want to take a bath in it." Wind Moth was the first to suggest entering the pool.
"Me too. If I can integrate the energy inside, I feel that a new transformation will occur." Faced with the temptation so close, Xiangdie was no longer reserved and made a request.
"That's what my mother said."
Although the Queen Silkworm cannot speak, she expressed the same meaning, even more eagerly than the Wind Moth and the Scented Butterfly.
In fact, the Queen Silkworm has always felt somewhat resentful that her descendants have become intelligent creatures while she herself has been doing nothing.
"Wizard Ivan, would you listen to me?" When the Wind Moth and the Fragrance Butterfly spoke, the masked wizard realized that the two insects were already intelligent creatures, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
