The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 158: Level Battle
The wild beast eggs in front of him looked full of spiritual energy and vitality, and did not look like ordinary things.

The Evil Insect Cauldron vibrated slightly, Su Yan's expression changed slightly, and he reacted immediately.

"Insect beast eggs."

A look of joy appeared on his face. Anything that could cause the Ferocious Insect Cauldron to react could not be an ordinary wild beast, but only an insect beast.

He directly took out the purple insect eggs and placed them into the insect world.

"Boom"

The entire cave shook instantly, as if a dragon was turning over, and a powerful aura immediately enveloped it.

Su Yan's figure sank, and his expression suddenly changed: "Third-level evil beast!"

"Who dares to mess with my arrangements?"

A terrifying roar sounded from the depths of the cave. Without even turning his head, Su Yan turned over and sat on the Blood Evil Queen, flying out of the cave.

Large chunks of stalactites kept falling, and a sharp spike pierced the ground, tearing the rock wall of the cave.

Countless claw cave beasts rushed out, and blood claw bats also emerged from the cave.

Whether it was the independent cultivators who went deep into the cave or the disciples of Jiufeng Sect, they had never imagined that there would be so many terrifying wild beasts in this cave.

In just a moment, more than half of them were killed or injured.

The rest, such as Zhang Xingqiu, Lin Zifeng, Yuan Fan and others, were slightly stronger and barely managed to break through the dense swarms of wild beasts and fled out of the cave.

"It's a trap. This evil beast wants to lure warriors in to eat!"

Zhang Xingqiu's expression was particularly ugly. He and the crocodile beside him killed a second-level claw cave beast and said in a deep voice.

"It's useless to say more. This land vein has long been controlled by this beast. I'm afraid it wants to use this as an inducement to sacrifice blood. I don't know if the Li brothers have ruined its plan."

Lin Zifeng used the long sword in his hand to cut out a sword net and cut down the wild beast in front of him.

Among the wild beasts that kept pouring in, the second-level ones were the vanguard, but there were more first-level wild beasts, which gave them a chance to catch their breath.

"Let's rush out together. Whoever disrupts their plan will be the target of the fire. What does it have to do with us?"

Yuan Fan merged with the beast spirit Giant Claw Green Bear, holding a short axe, and with a height of about ten feet, he swept across a large open space, forcing all the wild beasts to retreat.

"That way!"

Zhang Xingqiu and Lin Zifeng shouted "Merge" loudly, and also merged with the true meaning of the beast spirit. The three of them took the lead and ran towards the corridor outside with a group of disciples.

Just as Yuan Fan said, on Su Yan's side, black spikes kept piercing from behind him, piercing through the stone wall and attacking his body.

"Clanging"

The gold-eating demon insect attached itself to his body, and the jade armor completely covered it. At the same time, the insect pattern was fully opened, reducing the force of the attack.

Even so, every time it was struck, the insect pattern would almost shatter.

Su Yan kept dodging, relying on his strong body to barely avoid the attack.

"It's locking onto my location..."

Su Yan ran fast enough and left the cave in a flash, but his general location had been exposed. Now he was being chased by the continuous attacks, which was the beast's method.

He had to escape quickly. The increasingly approaching thrusts, the greater their number and the more ferocious their attacks, meant that the thing was getting closer and closer.

The Blood Evil Queen flew quickly and arrived at the corner of the cave where she came from.

"After turning this corner, there are two more steps to the chasm."

"Waiting for you!"

The ground beneath his feet cracked, large pieces of stone slabs shattered, and a dark shadow penetrated and headed straight for Su Yan.

Golden body of poisonous dragon!

Su Yan made a prompt decision and activated all the defenses including the Heavenly Python Dharma Body and the Poisonous Dragon Golden Body.

a muffled sound

The black shadow penetrated the body of the Blood Evil Queen and hit him.

This attack sent him flying, piercing through the protective layer of jade armor and breaking the inner armor. He was only able to defend himself with the help of his insect bone armor body, heavenly python body and poisonous dragon golden body.

Cracks covered the entire armor, and Su Yan felt as if all his bones were shattered.

"Third level!"

Su Yan knew that this attack came from a third-level strength. His eyes sank, and he saw four pairs of scarlet eyes locked on him from the depths of the underground crack.

"sizzle"

The pitch-black thread shot out along the crack and headed straight for Su Yan's body.

Su Yan took back the severely injured Blood Demon Queen, and the Gengjin Blade of the Gold-eating Demonic Insect flashed past, cutting off the silk threads.

"Hmm? A genius from the Beast King Sect, it would be nice to try his taste."

A cold voice was heard, and more threads attacked.

Su Yan's body exploded backward, and his blood-killing hand directly hit the rock wall of the cave.

Large chunks of rock that were already loose fell down, blocking the threads.

He took this opportunity to retreat and threw the soul-sealing talisman in his hand.

In a flash, the vine mandrill appeared. With Su Yan's full efforts, at the cost of destroying itself, its vines spread throughout the entire cave space in almost the blink of an eye.

"Break out of the hole!"

Su Yan summoned tens of thousands of blood bees, which split into four or five groups and flew towards various forks in the road. The buzzing sound concealed the noise.

Then the true meaning of the Six-Winged Blood Centipede and the Star-Moon Centipede emerged, and they suddenly drilled into the rock wall above.

bang
The third-level evil beast is bombarding the rock wall, and its real body hidden in the earth veins is rushing towards this place.

The vines of the vine mandrill are embedded around the rock wall, reinforcing the space of this medium-sized cave.

At the same time, the fleeing blood bees diverted some of the evil beast's attention.

Su Yan took this opportunity to continuously break through the rock wall.

Five meters, ten meters, twenty meters...

The two giant beasts, the Six-Winged Blood Centipede and the Star-Moon Centipede, dug holes like drills at an extremely fast speed, and the rocks and soil that fell down piled up into small hills.

bang
Another attack, the pitch-black spike broke the stone wall of the cave, and a black light surged, directly piercing through the body of the Fujimang.

A huge black shadow appeared outside the cave entrance, looking at the cave with scarlet eyes.

"Can you escape?"

It was a naked mockery, as if looking at prey that was unable to struggle.

With a whoosh, the gold-eating insect suddenly flew out and headed straight for the monster's face.

It burst out from the rubble at an extremely fast speed.

The evil beast stretched out its tentacles to block, and instantly a knife wound was left, deep enough to see the bone, and dark red blood gushed out.

The gold-eating demon insect retreated after one attack, and the monster attacked furiously. However, the flame-armored demon scorpion climbed on the top of the cave, hung upside down, and suddenly spit out billowing demon fire.

The demonic fire instantly filled the entire space. The tentacles and silk threads of the evil beast had just reached into it when it suddenly made a crackling sound and immediately retracted its body.

This evil beast has lived underground for a long time and is afraid of fire.

Become!

A ray of light shone in, and when the last piece of soil was dug out, the six-winged blood centipede immediately broke out of the ground with Su Yan.

Since this cave could be torn apart before, it was indeed not deep, only a few dozen meters. Now that it was dug open, Su Yan rushed out immediately.

"Damn it!" The evil beast no longer cared about its instinctive fear of fire. It activated the earth veins, and the rumbling vibrations caused the collapsed stone walls and soil to cover up the evil fire.

Its countless tentacles attacked, breaking through the ground, trying to catch Su Yan.

However, the six-winged blood centipede had already carried Su Yan into the air, with the flame-armored demon scorpion hanging on it, and disappeared into the forest.

Su Yan didn't even look back and ran through the forest for a mile or two. The monster couldn't catch up with him.

Suddenly, Kong shouted, "How dare the Hundred-Touched Shadow Spider set an ambush and harm my disciple here!"

Su Yan looked back and saw a golden-haired giant ape, about a hundred meters tall, with a body that could transform from real to virtual, throwing a shocking punch at the same place.

Hundreds of tentacles wrapped in a curtain-like shadow formed a shield to block the attack.

A pitch-black spider beast hiding in the shadows finally emerged, its scarlet eyes filled with coldness.

"Huangmeng Mountain is my territory. You are right. If you have the ability, go and rob Wang Mountain. Why are you here?"

Yu Xuanfeng was in the Tuoshan Ape's true intention, his foot on the heavy sword, and he snorted coldly: "Wangshan has his own Dharma Real Person to deal with. I, Yu Xuanfeng, can flatten this small mountain in a corner by myself. Watch out."

"What a big mouth! Why don't you take action against the Mountain Python and the Cloud-eating Deer?!"

With a beast roar, a small beast tide broke out in Tianbao Mountain and Qijin Mountain connected to Huangmeng Mountain. Two third-level evil beasts emerged and headed straight for Yuxuan Feng.

Yuxuanfeng's expression darkened, and he released his contracted beast, the Mountain-Moving Ape, to intercept the huge Mountain Python.

But a giant deer dressed in colorful clothes with horns that shone with the rays of light had already arrived, and it was sending out hundreds of rays of light like sharp arrows.

Yuxuanfeng formed a seal in his hand, and waved his hand with the Tuoshan Ape's true meaning to attack. The true energy surged, and the golden seal crushed and knocked down the rosy glow.

One against two, the battle was fierce.

Yu Xuanfeng was suppressed by the two beasts and shouted angrily: "Jiufeng Sect, do you still want to take advantage of others?"

"I wouldn't dare."

A long male voice was heard, and a giant elephant with jade armor rose from the ground in the forest, which was also a manifestation of the true meaning.

An old man in a green robe sat on the head of a jade-armored giant elephant, holding a green sword, and raised his eyes: "Yuxuanfeng, let's follow the old rules. Whoever defeats a beast first will occupy more mountains."

"Humph, you are quite calculating."

Half of the Beast King Sect's abilities are superior to those of the Contracted Beasts.

Now that the Yuxuan Fengqi Beast has held back the Mountain Python, it can be considered a one-versus-two situation to some extent.

However, he was not afraid: "Yes."

The two of them fought fiercely with three third-level evil beasts. With the surge of their true energy, they could clearly sense the area within a radius of hundreds of meters.

Su Yan was already standing at least a mile or two away, but from afar he could still see the horror of the fight.

"If that beast doesn't underestimate me and is willing to use all its strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape..."

His heart sank as he watched closely the powerful battle between the Danqiao realm warrior and the evil beast.

He turned around and hid his insect armor, controlling the six-winged blood centipede and heading directly towards the camp.

There were quite a few disciples who rushed back like him. Only the disciples of the Mountain Protection Army and the Law Enforcement Team rushed into the mountains in groups, occupied various important roads, blocked the paths, and suppressed the beast tide caused by the evil beast.

Disciples with positions are different from disciples who have just started. Disciples who have just started are mainly focused on cultivation, and some tasks are easy to obtain contribution points.

But after a few years of cultivation, when their cultivation level has improved and they need a significant increase in resources, they will each seek a position in the sect.

This is true for the mountain protection troops, law enforcement teams, managers, and so on.

When you are in charge of your job, you should move forward and never retreat.

Su Yan arrived at the camp, which was already guarded by disciples of the Mountain Protection Army.

"During the Three Mountains Reclamation Incident, there are beasts causing trouble. New disciples may return to the sect within one day. Two-year disciples will be on standby at the camp, and disciples with three years or more will be ready to receive orders at any time."

The disciples of the law enforcement team solemnly informed every disciple entering the camp.

After verifying his identity, Su Yan was also told the location of the post station, and that a giant blue horned eagle would be coming to pick him up soon.

At this time, disciples of each year also went to different places according to their divisions and waited for orders.

Although the disciples who have been in their second year or above for three years cannot leave, they do not seem to be too nervous.

He passed by several senior brothers and sisters and heard their conversation.

"After killing the evil beast, the progress of the land reclamation will be much faster. I just don't know how many of the three mountains we can occupy. If the Jiufeng Sect takes it first, there will be no shortage of competition in the future."

"Master Yu is a warrior who has the Danqiao of Yuefeng. His foundation is solid, so he should have no worries..."

Su Yan walked through the crowd and came to the barracks. He returned to the room he had booked earlier, opened the door and went in, only to see Lin Junhao and others already there.

Bai Yun was also among the group and felt a little relieved.

"You're finally here. I was worried that you didn't know the news in the forest."

When Lin Junhao saw Su Yan, he stood up and looked relieved.

"When did you come back?"

"The Jiufeng Sect started fighting to reclaim the wasteland. The senior brothers from the Mountain Guards informed us after entering the mountain. We fought and killed three people, one of whom was a wandering martial artist. But during the fight, only Zheng Yan and Bai Yun showed no fear."

Lin Junhao sighed: "The gap between us is still too big, so let's just retreat and gain more experience later."

In Yuncang Town, they are all geniuses, but here, genius is just a threshold.

In terms of martial arts, fighting skills, techniques, physique, etc., they are not that outstanding.

Bai Yun has a good foundation and was fortunate enough to enter Baihu Peak, so he is naturally good at fighting.

Zheng Yan was born in a temple butcher shop. He had killed countless wild beasts and had this kind of mentality.

Of course, Lin Junhao and his companions are not bad either as they know when to retreat.

"I'm about the same as you guys. I'll go back with you later."

Several people told their own stories. Su Yan picked and chose, hiding the encounter with the Hundred-Touched Shadow Spider in the cave, and only talked about how he was ambushed and killed by the disciples of Jiufeng Sect, and then escaped.

Although they retreated a step early, Lin Junhao and his companions had almost completed their mission and gained a lot.

Now they all had some minor injuries on their bodies, so they just started to heal them without saying anything to each other.

About half a day later, someone from the Zongwu Pavilion in the camp delivered a message.

The giant blue horned eagle has arrived.

Everyone packed up their things, settled their accounts with contribution points, and rode the giant blue horned eagle back to the Beast King Sect.

Su Yan sat cross-legged on the giant green horned eagle, with the whistling wind passing by him.

His mind was immersed in reflection.

"After exchanging the items for contribution points, I'll go to the Alchemy Pavilion first and refine a batch of Beast Yuan Pills and Blood Essence Condensation Pills to improve my strength as much as possible. The strength of the four ferocious insects is still a little lacking..."

There was nothing much to say about him not being able to defeat a third-level evil beast, but he still had too few means to save his life.

The insect bone armor body relies on the enhancement of insect essence. Now it is best to refine more powerful and ferocious insects to enhance the characteristics of the insect bone armor body.

Then the insect master's rank will be pushed up again.

After these few months, as the strength of the four ferocious insects continued to increase, the insect master's experience also continued to increase.

[Second-level Insect Master 801/1000]

"I'm only a little under 200 experience points away. I need to level up the Gold-Eating Demonic Bug, the Flame-Armored Demonic Scorpion, and the Blood-Fiendish Queen Worm one level each. I can also hatch the egg that's suppressing the earth vein and sign a contract. That should be enough, right?"

"But, could those eggs be the offspring of the Hundred Touched Shadow Spider?"
