The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 208: The Soldier-Swallowing Moth
The benefits of the small secret realm are right in front of them, and no one wants to give up, especially the people from the Ye family who have entered it and have not come out yet. How can they give up easily?
Ye Chengqiu and Na Guru strode forward and were about to rush into the crack.

"roll!"

A hoarse voice was heard, and a powerful mental attack swept over.

Ye Chengqiu and Na Guru's expressions changed slightly, and they immediately blocked the attack.

The attacks collided with each other, shattering the surrounding formations.

The two men took a step back, their faces gloomy, and they were extremely alert.

Wu Nan and Yu Luo's expressions changed, and they immediately took action to stabilize the situation.

However, the next moment, the majestic mental fluctuations gathered into the appearance of an extremely ferocious rock demon ant queen, which was translucent, and the powerful mental fluctuations exploded in an instant.

bang
With a dull thud, all the formations set up by Wu Nan were destroyed, and some tribesmen who were too close were even injured again due to the mental shock.

"It's something that hides its head but shows its tail!"

Wu Nan's face turned pale and he cursed. He had been planning for a long time and spent a lot of resources, but in the end he ended up losing more than he gained.

Ye Chengqiu, who was standing aside, had an even stern expression on his face, unable to suppress his murderous intent.

The Ye family had a current patriarch and an elder come in.

Lan Tianshui, the leader of the Tianshui Sect, had a gloomy look in his eyes. One of his close disciples was still inside, but he was not furious at this moment. His eyes fell on Ye Chengqiu.

He doesn't want to be the first to stand out.

The strength of the Danqiao warriors in the secret realm is unknown, but just based on the projection of the third-level evil beast, it is clear that they are not easy to deal with.

"Those who invade this secret realm, once I succeed and leave, I will annihilate your entire clan."

A cold voice came, hoarse with an undisguised majesty.

The crack in the secret realm slowly shrank, and Ye Chengqiu slashed it with a sword, trying to stop the crack in the secret realm from recovering.

"I don't care about your secret realm. Release my Ye family disciple, and the grudge between the Ye family and you will be wiped out."

"Hahaha"

A loud laugh could be heard: "That young fellow who used the demon-binding rope? Why don't you ask what the disciple of Sect Leader Lan did? Why are you looking for me?"

As the sound faded, the last crack completely disappeared, turning into a rocky wall.

Everyone looked at each other. Suspicion flashed in Ye Chengqiu and Lan Tianshui's eyes, and they subconsciously looked at each other.

"Ye Chengqiu, did you really believe what that guy said?"

"Do not believe"

Ye Chengqiu shook his head decisively: "The guy among you is only one Danqiao. If we work together and break through the secret realm again, we will definitely be able to kill him. My Ye family promises not to take away the secret order. If you can rescue the Ye family members, there will be a reward!"

Ye Chengqiu was decisive, but Lan Tianshui, Wu Nan and others didn't believe a word he said.

He held a sword in his hand, his aura restrained, as if he was hiding his edge and ready to strike, and his body was the farthest away from Lan Tianshui.

This posture is obviously to guard against Lan Tianshui.

"Hmph, the secret code has been obtained by that person. If we want to break into this small secret realm, the resources we will spend will probably be several times more than before. The Fire Crow Tribe is too poor, so I apologize for not being able to accompany you. Farewell."

Wu Nan made a decision immediately. Not to mention that the five Danqiao warriors in front of him had different thoughts and it was impossible for them to cooperate wholeheartedly.

The fact that there were so many injured disciples in his own tribe was enough to discourage him from continuing to take action.

The most urgent task is to heal these tribesmen and preserve their lives and foundations. As for other matters, we are no longer able to interfere.

"Walk"

As soon as the Fire Crow Tribe left, the Black Bear Tribe also led their people and strode away from Yangjiao Mountain.

Gu Ru suffered such a great loss but he could endure it, but if he had another chance, he would definitely chop off that man's head.

Yu Luo sighed: "You two, the man in the secret realm is as cunning as a fox. We have different ideas and nothing can be accomplished. I will take my leave."

Everyone dispersed, leaving only Ye Chengqiu and Lan Tianshui.

The two of them were suspicious of each other and didn't communicate much. They snorted and left, leaving only Ye Chengqiu with a worried look on his face.

"Greed blinds the mind...Greed blinds the mind, the Ye family..."

His face was bitter and worried, and he finally flew away.

Having lost a family head and with so many materials, Ye Liufeng's natal spiritual weapon might encounter troubles again.

In the small secret realm, the Rock Demon Ant Queen's aura dropped again like a dying candle.

Su Yan frowned slightly, extracted several insect essences and merged them into its body, only then did he stabilize the injury.

"Even with the Insect Sense, it's still too difficult to fight a warrior of the same level with my severely injured body. But fortunately, I have the Fierce Insect Cauldron..."

The action of closing the small secret realm will inevitably attract the obstruction of the Danqiao warriors outside.

Therefore, controlling the Rock Demon Queen Ant to block is the only option. Fortunately, he has the secret order in his hand, and the small secret realm is under his control. The other party dare not step into it easily, and this is how he completed the real and fake blockade just now.

Su Yan took the Rock Demon Ant Queen back into the Ferocious Insect Cauldron. The Rock Demon Ant Queen soon fell into a deep sleep. The power of the Ferocious Insect Cauldron was slowly gathering to heal its injuries.

This is Su Yan's reliance. As long as the Evil Insect Cauldron is there and as long as the evil insects are not dead, there is a possibility of rescuing them.

It’s just that the time required to treat the injury will be different.

"One month..."

The Rock Demon Ant Queen's injuries were serious and it would take a whole month to treat her.

"That's good, it's just the right time for the Gold-eating Demonic Bug to complete its breakthrough."

Su Yan settled the Rock Demon Ant Queen, and the six-winged blood centipede took him to the Three Mountains.

The rock demon ants are still searching for natural treasures. As they continue to explore and fight with wild beasts, their numbers are decreasing.

Nangong Hongyue was responsible for keeping a close eye on their movements, and at the same time, sent all the rare treasures they found to Su Yan.

The entire small secret realm became the back garden of Su Yan and Nangong Hongyue, where a large number of medicinal herbs, minerals, and spiritual woods gathered.

Su Yan used the molten fire of the earth veins and the demonic fire of the Flame Armor Demon Scorpion to put all these medicinal herbs into the elixir.

There are many kinds of natural treasures, and they do not correspond one to one to form pill recipes.

However, there are two second-level alchemists here, and they are outstanding.

Su Yan didn't know many recipes for elixirs, but Nangong Hongyue was different. She had collected quite a few recipes in the past ten years of running an elixir shop.

The two discussed with each other, replacing and blending the medicinal ingredients in these pill recipes, and they actually figured out some things.

For a whole month, pills were continuously refined.

First-level Blood Essence Pill, Blood Bone Pill, Essence Reinforcement Pill, Scrophulariaceae Pill...

Second-level Blood Essence Condensing Pill, Dragon and Tiger Golden Pill, Guiyi Yuan Pill, Insect Bone Refining Pill...

In a month, no less than a thousand pills were refined, and all the natural treasures in the secret realm were consumed.

[Gold-eating Demonic Insect: Metamorphosis]

"The more vicious insects you raise, the more resources you need. The resources of a small secret realm, even the marginal resources, can only promote one stage of growth..."

Su Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had already discovered that the resources required for his ferocious insect to transform were more than the resources required for some of his fellow disciples to advance their contracted beasts.

Everything has its pros and cons. The more resources you need, the stronger your ferocious insect's bloodline will be, and any contracted beast below the same level will find it difficult to match it.

Su Yan has always relied on these ferocious insects to fight against opponents of higher levels.

Moreover, the insect essence extracted from the bodies of vicious insects every day is the truly precious thing.

The insect essence produced in the bodies of the six ferocious insects is no less than that of a second-level elixir. It is absorbed into the body every day to strengthen Su Yan's foundation, which makes his qualifications closer to an inhuman state.

The two characteristics of insect bone armor and insect consciousness seeds are constantly strengthening. Even without using any power, Su Yan's body and spirit have suppressed many warriors of the same level.

He has been refining pills this month and has not been practicing deliberately, but his cultivation is still improving and he has already reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Su Yan stood up and stretched his muscles. He could faintly hear the thundering sounds of tigers and leopards coming from his body.

"I've reached the highest level of Five Elements Alchemy, and I've also mastered the Gu Dan Jue. This month's alchemy hasn't been a waste of time. Perhaps I can try refining a third-level pill."

Su Yan's thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately strode out of the cave.

When Nangong Hongyue saw Su Yan coming out, her eyes lit up slightly and she felt happy in her heart.

"Have you finished your retreat?"

Su Yan was in seclusion making pills. At first, he asked Nangong Hongyue to help him with advice and arrange a new alchemy workshop. However, after he reached the highest level of Five Elements Alchemy, his speed was far behind Nangong Hongyue.

If two people were to refine the elixir in the same place, the spiritual energy they absorbed and the rhythm of their alchemy would affect each other.

Su Yan simply went into seclusion and Nangong Hongyue protected him.

"I've found the python and snake beasts you asked me to look for. There are two second-level ones in total. They are surrounded by a group of rock demon ants in a deep pool seven miles to the east and a valley bottom to the south."

Nangong Hongyue's aura subsided slightly, and although it was fleeting, it was obvious that her cultivation had improved over the past month.

"Let's go to the valley first."

The valley that Su Yan was talking about was the valley where the gold-eating monster insects lived.

In the valley, most of the small black steel vein has been absorbed by the gold-eating monster insects in the past month. The power of the vein has been integrated into its body, and now is the critical time for transformation.

Nangong Hongyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she was quite surprised: "Is it going to transform?"

"Um"

Su Yan smiled, and the six-winged blood centipede was summoned, bringing the two of them into the valley.

This valley is guarded by the Sky-Evil Locusts and a swarm of blood bees, and not even a trace of wild beasts can be seen.

Su Yan had just landed when a red cocoon in the valley emitted a dazzling red light.

The cocoon beats like a heart, emitting a sharp aura.

When Nangong Hongyue saw the cocoon, the five insects inside her body, including the black-gold silkworm and red scorpion, trembled slightly.

It has nothing to do with strength, it is a suppression from bloodline.

Only when the bloodline difference is huge will the wild beast experience such a situation.

Even though the poisonous insects she cultivated were actually quite powerful, such suppression was still unavoidable.

Su Yan knew that the cocoon was ready to complete its metamorphosis.

The two of them waited patiently for a whole night, and finally, there was a sound of the cocoon breaking. The red light quickly converged, and soon all gathered in the cocoon.

A dark insect-beast the size of a palm, its body as black as ink jade with flowing golden patterns, crawled out. Its icy breath suppressed the surrounding vegetation, as if to cut off all life.

[The Gold-Eating Demonic Worm devours the transformed Black Steel Ore Vein, Amethyst Treasure Sand, Earth Amber Crystal, and a third-level spiritual weapon, transforming into the Weapon-Swallowing Ghost Moth]

[Soldier-Swallowing Moth: 1/100 (Newborn)]

A powerful aura enveloped the entire valley. Nangong Hongyue's expression suddenly changed, and her eyes widened slightly: "This, this is a third-level evil beast!"

The soldier-devouring moth flew towards Su Yan. Her face suddenly changed and she raised her hand to stop it.

It is a big taboo for the contracted beast to have a higher cultivation level than the host, but she completely forgot that Su Yan had also used some means to subdue the Rock Demon Ant Queen.

Even if it is just an injured third-level wild beast.

"sizzle"

The Swallowing Moth swept away Nangong Hongyue's movements with its momentum, and then it circled in front of Su Yan, extremely docile.

Su Yan smiled and glanced at her: "Don't worry, my contracted beast is different from others."

Nangong Hongyue's face turned slightly red, and for a moment she felt a little embarrassed.

Su Yan carefully looked at the soldier-devouring moth in front of him. The seed of insect consciousness merged into its body and descended directly onto it.

The recoil force and the Gengjin force are intertwined with each other, and merged with the power after the current transformation into a dark domain.

A foot in front of him, like a golden body, invisible and powerless, yet able to restrain weapons and devour metal...

"Swallow the power of soldiers and control them..."

As Su Yan lit up, the Gengjin Qi and the Netherworld Qi gathered around the Swallowing Weapon Moth, and dozens of weapon shadows appeared faintly.

Dagger, long sword, short axe, machete...

Su Yan recognized those weapons. These were the food he had once fed to the gold-eating demon insect, and now they had become one of its sources of power.

The weapons are sharp and imposing. Although they are not physical, they are definitely not inferior to ordinary weapons, and their advantage is that they are endless.

“Try the quality”

Su Yan looked around for a while, then took Nangong Hongyue and left on the six-winged blood centipede, heading straight for the location of the python beast mentioned earlier.

The pool of water in front of him was a hundred feet wide, bottomless, and had a faint blue color.

As Su Yan approached, he already felt the dangerous aura.

Nangong Hongyue said, "The one hiding inside is a Netherwater Toad Python. It lives by the water and can turn water into ice. It is extremely powerful with its cold poison. Its strength is at least at the late second stage."

In fact, it was difficult for the Rock Demon Ant Colony to completely trap a wild beast of this level. It was Nangong Hongyue's intimidation that forced the Nether Water Toad Python to not dare to show up easily.

"Force it out."

As Su Yan's voice fell, it was the Weapon-Swallowing Moth that flew out.

It flew over the lake, and the eerie atmosphere around the lake became more obvious.

A huge figure passed through the deep pool, emitting its own breath with extreme vigilance.

The Weapon-Swallowing Moth let out a sharp hiss, the aura of the Netherworld emerged, the power of Gengjin intertwined, and several phantoms of weapons appeared around it.

swish swish

It drove the attack, and instantly the weapons fell like rain, hitting the surface of the entire deep pool into turbulent waves, like a broken mirror.

"Roar"

A beast roar was heard, and the figure of the Dark Water Toad Python emerged and rushed straight towards the Soldier-Swallowing Dark Moth.
