Starting from the young master of Haotian Sect.

Chapter 61: Insect Man (Part )

Tang San asked, "Soul Guidance Devices are an ancient lost technology. We Soul Masters have yet to learn why they were lost, and there are no records. If those insect soul beasts truly have mastered the lost technology of soul guidance devices, transforming them into insect soul beasts wouldn't be impossible."

"And..." A terrifying guess appeared in Tang San's mind, and he continued: "I'm afraid the real goal of these insect soul beasts is to convert our human race. I also found the bodies of the kingdom's soldiers in that place."

Hiss!

Tang San continued, "Wolf Bandits are unique soul beasts born from the union of humans and soul beasts. Although they have low intelligence and act according to their nature, they are quite intelligent among soul beasts. Their movements and appearance are similar to humans, and they can even use their unique wind-attribute soul skills. The difference is that Wolf Bandits do not have martial souls."

"Those insect soul beasts possess quite high intelligence. They wouldn't have randomly chosen their experimental subjects. The Wolf Bandit must have been one of their carefully selected experimental subjects. I suspect the reason is that the Wolf Bandit is the soul beast that most resembles a human, a hybrid of a human and a soul beast."

Everyone present had heard of creatures like wolf bandits. Even these Titled Douluo had received sect missions to eliminate wolf bandits when they were young.

Fifth Elder Tang Fangrui said with a look of fear on his face, "Xiao San, this is unlikely. Could it be a coincidence? Are you trying to say that the Zerg soul beasts are carrying out a plan to exterminate our human race?"

Tang San's eyes flashed with seriousness, and he looked at the Fifth Elder and said seriously: "Fifth Elder, we human spirit masters have been hunting spirit beasts to forge spirit rings with their souls. The spirit beasts also feed on humans, devouring the flesh and blood of spirit masters to improve their cultivation. There has always been an irreconcilable blood feud between us. Is it surprising that the spirit beasts want to destroy us?"

"None of us knows what the soul beasts are thinking, what they are planning, or how long they have been planning. It's always a good idea to prepare for the worst."

For a moment, everyone in the field fell silent. All those present were powerful Titled Douluo. They had always believed that soul masters were the masters of the world. Even now, there was a ridiculous saying in the soul master world that "protect soul beasts" was popular.

When they suddenly heard Tang San say this, they were all a little overwhelmed and felt that their common sense had been broken.

Tang Xiao, who was sitting in the first seat, pondered this matter for a long time and asked, "Xiao San, is it possible that the talking insect-man you met was a hundred thousand year old soul beast transformed into a human?"

A hundred thousand year old soul beast transforms into a human. This is the way for soul beasts to obtain the cultivation talent of the human race. It is equivalent to rebirth, and the martial soul is their own original body.

Although no one present had fought with a hundred thousand year soul beast that had transformed into a human, it was still a hundred thousand year soul beast that had transformed into a human, so it must be invincible at the same level. Moreover, a hundred thousand year soul beast could speak human language, which was very consistent.

Hearing this, Tang San thought for a moment and said, "I haven't seen a hundred thousand year soul beast transform into a human, so I can't be sure. But from what I've observed, that insect soul beast doesn't look like a hundred thousand year soul beast transforming into a human. That insect soul beast is more like a special existence, neither like a human nor like a traditional soul beast."

"My father once told me that he saw Pope Qianxunji fight against the Blue Silver Emperor in the Xingdou Great Forest. The Blue Silver Emperor gave him the same feeling as a human, like a human soul master with the Blue Silver Grass martial spirit. He possessed soul skills and domain power, and his tone and appearance were exactly the same, without any characteristics of a soul beast."

Tang Xiao nodded in agreement and said, "It's rumored that a hundred thousand year old soul beast transforming into a human completely sheds its soul beast identity. Aside from some soul beast abilities, it's almost identical to a human. Especially after reaching level seventy, it's indistinguishable, completely transforming into a human, possessing all the cultivation talents of a human."

Tang San nodded and said, "Yes, that's what my father said. So I think that insect soul beast is not like a hundred thousand year soul beast transformed into a human. They are like this naturally. Not only do they have the bloodthirstiness of soul beasts, but also the wisdom of humans. It's not like they transformed into humans, it's more like, a fusion."

The Seventh Elder asked, "Like the Wolf Bandits? Could it be that this Insect Soul Beast is the offspring of a human and an Insect Soul?"

After hearing what the Seventh Elder said, everyone present looked nauseous and wanted to vomit. It was really disgusting just thinking about it.

Tang San shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. Whether they are a new species born from some kind of mutation, or whether they have always existed but have just not been discovered, I cannot say for sure. But what is undeniable is that these insect soul beasts are different from all previous soul beasts. I call them—insect people." "Insect people," Tang Xiao ordered, "In any case, this matter is of utmost importance. Immediately summon the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Sect Master and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Chief to discuss this matter. Also, have your disciples strengthen surveillance of the soul beast territory, especially areas where there are many insect soul beasts."

"Yes, Sect Master."

"By the way, uncle, where is my dad?" Tang San asked when he saw that the sect meeting had ended.

Tang Xiao smiled and said, "Your father was sent to carry out a sect mission. He discovered an ancient relic in an ancient place and went to explore it."

Tang San nodded without asking any more questions. It would be strange if Haotian Douluo was not busy.

Just as Tang San was about to leave, Tang Xiao stopped him and said, "By the way, Xiao San, everything in that cave has been moved back and placed in the black tower where you practice."

"We also found a 'little gadget' inside the Black Tower. After discussion within the sect, we decided that it should belong to you."

"A little gadget?" Tang San tilted his head, not knowing what his uncle was talking about.

After Tang San took his leave, he walked towards his own residence.

"Third Young Master." Two members of the Power Clan were guarding Tang San's residence. One of them said, "Third Young Master, everything has arrived. Please check it."

"Okay, I understand." Tang San walked into the black tower. The entire warehouse was filled with junk.

There were fragments of soul guides that were blown up by the soul power explosion, metal ores dug up by the wolf bandits, and even the bodies of the wolf bandits were sealed and brought back.

Tang San walked to the table and picked up a sealed glass container. Inside was some broken and charred pieces of meat. Even though they had been burnt black, Tang San still recognized the color of the blood on them. It was exactly the piece of flesh from the insect man's severed arm.

This is what Tang San specifically asked the sect disciples to pay attention to when searching.

"I didn't expect that even after being smashed to pieces by the Clear Sky Hammer and then swept away by the explosion, there would still be pieces of flesh left. The strength of this insect man's flesh and blood is truly incredible. Any other soul beast would have turned to charcoal ash."

Tang San slowly put down the broken pieces of insect man's flesh. He was not good at studying biology, so he planned to hand it over to the Poyi Clan for research. After all, the Poyi Clan specialized in studying medicine and poison, and studying pharmacology and toxicology naturally required a high level of understanding of the human body.

"Hmm? This is it." Tang San saw a soul guide box. It was the same as the soul guide door of the insect man. It needed a special token to open it to prevent the things inside from being taken away.

"This should be the little gadget that uncle mentioned."
