From the chaotic sea of ​​stars, it began to wreak havoc on all the heavens.

Chapter 101 The First Battle
"The Crimson Flame Monster".

Upon seeing this person, Hu Yue gasped in surprise, and Jin Qing nearly bit her tongue.

If it were a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, the combined strength of the three of them would naturally not be a cause for much fear.

However, this Crimson Flame Old Monster's strength had already reached the late stage of Core Formation. His Kui Water Demon Art was unpredictable and he was known for his ruthlessness and mercilessness.

Many people believe that this Crimson Flame Old Monster will one day reach the Nascent Soul stage and become a demonic giant like the Extreme Yin Ancestor.

Now that they've been targeted by this person, their chances of survival are slim.

Being called "Old Monster" to his face didn't bother him at all. Instead, he put his hands behind his back, narrowed his eyes, and said leisurely, "I didn't expect that a mere junior in the early stage of Core Formation like you could actually discover me. Is it because I inadvertently let out a trace of aura after the Golden Silkworm was captured?"

"Why do you ask a question you already know the answer to?" Qin Sheng said without changing his expression.

With numerous gold-devouring insects and golden armor, he was truly unafraid of this old monster.

Even if you can't win, can't you at least run away?

The other party isn't a real Nascent Soul cultivator.

But I can't kill him instantly.

At this moment, Jin Qing spoke up, "Senior Chi Huo, we meant no offense. If Senior Chi Huo doesn't mind, we'd like to include the reward we received from exchanging the Golden Silkworm in your account. Old Hu, and Fellow Daoist Qin, what do you think?"

After saying that, he didn't forget to wink at Qin Sheng and Hu Yue. He then transmitted his voice, saying, "This place is not far from Yuan Gui Island. I didn't expect that the Crimson Fire Old Monster would also come. Old Hu, Fellow Daoist Qin, you must not be reckless."

"Sure, I, Old Hu, have no objection." Hu Yue glanced at the Crimson Fire Old Monster with some fear. Spirit stones were good, but he didn't want to lose his life for them.

Upon hearing this, Old Monster Crimson Fire was immediately delighted. The reason he hadn't acted directly was because the Golden Silkworms were still trapped in the formation. Once the formation was destroyed, these Golden Silkworms would burrow back into the mine and disappear without a trace.

But he won't be satisfied with that.

He wanted all five golden silkworms.

Well then, let's agree to their request for now. We can take action after we get our hands on the golden silkworm.

Thinking this to himself, the Crimson Fire Old Monster remained outwardly calm. "Alright, but you must first hand over the Golden Silkworm to me for safekeeping."

"That won't do. Your ruthlessness is well-known in the Chaotic Star Sea. If we hand over the Golden Silkworm to you, the three of us won't be a match for you if you turn on us."

Qin Sheng gripped the main battle flag tightly.

Upon hearing this, Hu Yue and Jin Qing, who had initially been somewhat interested, suddenly became apprehensive.

This seems to be exactly the way Old Monster Crimson Fire always does things.

"So, you're not planning to share the golden silkworm with me?"

The Crimson Flame Old Monster's eyes flashed with a fierce light. As he activated the Sunflower Water Demon Art within his body, a large amount of dark clouds surged out from his body, instantly turning the entire sky dark and gloomy. The clouds were accompanied by booming sounds and sparks of lightning, making it extremely eerie.

“Of course I will give them to you, but how can you guarantee that you won’t harm me and my two companions? How about you let my two companions go for now? I will then hand over the Golden Silkworms to you. Otherwise, I don’t mind releasing these five Golden Silkworms.”

Qin Sheng planned to send Hu Yue and Jin Qing away first, so that he could act more freely.

But the Crimson Fire Old Monster was clearly not so easily fooled. "So you want to swallow up their share as well and share the Golden Silkworm with me? Very well, as long as we join forces to take down these two juniors, I will be more than happy to do so."

These words immediately put Jin Qing and Hu Yue on guard. They both distanced themselves from Qin Sheng and looked at him warily.

Qin Sheng glanced at them, seeing that they had been easily swayed by the other party's simple words, and his expression turned slightly cold. "If Fellow Daoist Jin and Fellow Daoist Hu are willing to stay, then I may leave as well. I don't need to take the Golden Silkworm; I just need to make a safe exit." If he didn't need them to find the sealing location of the Xuan Bone Demon, he wouldn't care about the lives of these two.

Jin Qing and Hu Yue were deeply ashamed by Qin Sheng's words. Jin Qing quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, you misunderstand. Hu Yue and I had no such intention."

“I, Lao Hu, am by no means a coward who fears death. If he dares to go back on his word, we’ll fight to the death together.”

Hu Yue is more responsible than Jin Qing.

"It's alright, you two can leave now. I, Qin, will find a way to escape later."

Qin Sheng transmitted his voice to them.

Upon hearing this, Jin Qing was no longer willing to stay there. Regardless of Hu Yue's reaction, he pulled her and flew back the way they had come.

"You've got guts, kid." Old Monster Crimson Fire's expression was rather unpleasant. If it weren't for these five golden silkworms, he would never have let these two leave.

"Otherwise, why would you have allowed the two seniors, Qin and his brother, to leave?"

Qin Sheng said dismissively.

"Alright, my patience is limited. Hand over the golden silkworm to me now, or don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Old Monster Crimson Fire said coldly."

"Of course." Qin Sheng held the main formation flag in one hand and made a hand seal with the other. He transformed into a golden streak of light and entered the Heavenly Spider Web Formation without any hindrance.

Then, in front of the Crimson Fire Old Monster, he took out a spirit beast pouch from his waist and carefully put the five golden silkworms into the pouch.

"Alright, now it's time to hand over the Golden Silkworm to this old man, isn't it?" The Crimson Fire Old Monster was full of disdain for Qin Sheng's actions. Did he really think that this formation could become his support?
"I hope you will keep your promise." Qin Sheng, who was in the formation, raised his hand and lightly tossed the spirit beast pouch out of the formation.

The Crimson Flame Old Monster grew increasingly disdainful of Qin Sheng. Once he obtained the Golden Silkworm, Qin Sheng would be rendered useless. He always preferred to eliminate any potential threats completely.

As for the other two, we can pursue them after dealing with this person.

However, when the spirit beast bag was less than half a zhang away from him, and he was about to check if the golden silkworm was inside, a buzzing insect sound suddenly came from inside, followed by a cloud of insects that was more than ten zhang long sweeping out from it.

It covered the Crimson Fire Monster.

This forced him to abandon the spirit beast pouch and retreat rapidly.

"Insect repellent technique? You're asking for death."

He shouted sharply, urging the dark clouds behind him to press down on the insect cloud.

Bang!
The insect cloud collided with the dark cloud formed by the Sunflower Water Demon Art, and was thrown into chaos by the dark cloud, being sent flying several feet away. The insect cloud became disordered.

The Crimson Flame Old Monster showed a disdainful expression, but a moment later, the disdain disappeared from his face, replaced by an expression of disbelief.

Because after the insect swarms were knocked over by the insect cloud tumbled more than a dozen times, they took flight as if nothing had happened, sweeping away again without any damage.

Furthermore, three other insect clouds of equal size appeared around him.

It turned out that Qin Sheng had taken a risk by putting the five golden silkworms into the spirit beast bag containing the gold-devouring insects.

Because if one is not careful, the silkworm will be completely devoured by the gold-eating insects inside.
