Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

So, led by the man in purple robe, several people walked into the cave.

After entering the cave through the entrance, Zhang Chen observed the cave wall and found that it was covered with scratches. The passage was winding and tortuous, and it was obvious that it was expanded based on the cracks.

The deeper you go, the darker it gets and the lower the temperature becomes. Occasionally, a cold wind blows, bringing with it the stench of decay and some mixed earth.

After everyone introduced themselves to each other, Zhang Chen knew that the disciple in the purple robe was called Jin Biao.

At this time, Jin Biao was walking in the front, holding a fist-sized luminous pearl in his hand, which emitted a bright sun light, allowing the few people to look at the surrounding environment more carefully and making them feel more secure.

The further you go in, the more cracks the passage passes through, including some caves and naturally formed cavities. Looking at those dark spaces as they pass by, everyone feels uneasy, as if thousands of eyes are staring at them.

"Brother Jin, we can't go any further. I feel dangerous."

Zhang Chen quickly stopped everyone. This environment was very unfavorable for them. If they continued to move forward and were blocked from front and back, they would be unable to escape.

Everyone stopped and looked at Jin Biao. They did want to kill the insect beasts to earn spirit stones, but they also didn't want to die.

Jin Biao looked around and then turned back to them and said calmly:

"Fortune and honor come from danger. Without danger, there will be no opportunities. But we can't just move forward blindly. Let's explore around."

After saying that, he took the lead to walk around and go to explore the cave in front. Seeing this, everyone followed him.

Sure enough, dozens of insect beasts were found inside. When they saw the people approaching and sensed their breath, they began to retreat and huddled in the corner timidly.

Several people used their means to quickly get rid of them all, and then collected their heads to claim the reward.

Then he went back to the passage and moved forward slowly. When he encountered large cracks and caves in the space, he explored them and killed many insects and beasts that must have been strayed.

From several battles, Zhang Chen also witnessed Jin Biao's strength, which was much stronger than all of them. Zhang Chen guessed that his cultivation must have been hidden like his own, and he had at least reached the ninth level of Qi Condensation. Zhang Chen saw him kill the insect beasts with extreme ruthlessness. After killing them, a satisfied grin unconsciously appeared on his face, which made Zhang Chen feel very uncomfortable.

But he always walked ahead of everyone to explore the way, and he was the first to go forward when there was danger. He was strong and took care of them, which made everyone trust him very much and gradually began to listen to him.

This time too, he asked everyone to find a place to hide on the spot, and he went to explore the front alone. Everyone gathered together and started chatting.

"Brother Jin is really powerful and takes good care of everyone."

"Yes, we have killed hundreds of insect beasts, which means we have earned dozens of spirit stones. Senior Brother Jin killed the most, but he didn't want anything and gave them all to everyone."

"If we can find the trace of the insect queen this time, we will make a lot of money."

……

Everyone talked for a long time. It was almost an hour before Jin Biao came back and told everyone an important news. There was a huge cavity next to the passage ahead, where many insect beasts gathered. Jin Biao also said that those insect beasts were well-disciplined and there was a possibility that a queen insect was controlling them nearby.

This news made everyone very excited. They didn't expect that they might actually find the trace of the Insect Mother on this trip. That was two thousand spirit stones. Even if they divided it equally among several people, it would be a huge sum, equivalent to their monthly salary for several years.

"Brother Jin, how about I go back and inform my uncle and the others to come?"

Someone among them suggested that they had not thought about killing the insect mother, and they would be satisfied to earn the spirit stones for providing information.

"No, we can't confirm whether there is a worm mother yet. We will inform you after we have investigated everything clearly."

Jin Biao looked slightly anxious, and shook his head slightly, disagreeing with the notice. Then he changed the subject and said to everyone:

"Don't forget, if you report that the insect mother is not found at that time, it will be regarded as false news and you will be punished."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. They were only thinking about the huge reward and had forgotten about this.

So under his leadership, everyone walked forward for more than ten minutes and came to the place he mentioned. In order not to be discovered, no lighting was used, but everyone had cultivation level above the sixth level of Qi Condensation. Although the cave was pitch black, they could still see the general outline. They could not see clearly at a distance.

The crowd couldn't see what was in front of them. They could only roughly feel that there was indeed a large space in front of them. Occasionally, they could feel a cold light shooting out from it. Only then did they realize that what Jin Biao said was right. There were indeed many insects and beasts in front of them.

Zhang Chen felt uncomfortable all over at this time. Not only in front of him, but it seemed that there were many eyes staring at him on both sides. There were cave walls more than ten meters high on both sides. He could not see clearly in this environment. Zhang Chen felt as if they had entered a pocket set by the insect swarm, and they were at the entrance of the pocket.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. In such an environment, they didn't know how to investigate. They were about to step forward to ask Jin Biao, only to find that Jin Biao was no longer in front of them and no one knew where he had gone.

While the others were still wondering, they thought that Jin Biao had gone out to explore again, and they all waited there. However, Zhang Chen felt something was wrong, so he slowly left the crowd, came to the wall of the cave, squeezed into a crack that could barely accommodate one person, and became on guard.

After a while, when the others were still whispering, several fireballs suddenly exploded above their heads. After the explosion, the surroundings suddenly became brightly lit. Everyone was stunned. They looked around in confusion and found that the walls of the cave were full of cracks and holes, and everywhere was filled with insects and beasts. At this time, all the insects and beasts opened their eyes and looked at them.

When Zhang Chen saw the fireball light up at the crack, he felt something was wrong and immediately used the water invisibility technique to hide himself completely.

Soon, insects and beasts rushed out one after another. The darkness could not affect them. Many insects and beasts relied on their sense of smell and hearing. The faces of those disciples changed drastically. They had guessed something at this time, but it was too late to think about it. They could only try their best to escape. However, hundreds of insects and beasts jumped directly from the cracks on the left and right walls of the cave, blocking their retreat. Then they mixed with the large number of insects and beasts rushing in front, and were attacked from both sides. Soon they were overwhelmed by the large number of insects and beasts.

Soon the swarm of insects retreated in an orderly manner, leaving the bodies of six people lying quietly on the ground. The swarm of insects formed a circle around the bodies of several people, waiting quietly.

Zhang Chen was also watching quietly from behind at this time. He was also surrounded by the insect swarm and had no way to escape. If it weren't for the bloody smell of several dead fellow disciples filling the space and indirectly covering up Zhang Chen's smell, he would not have been able to hide.

After a while, a larger insect beast walked out from a crack, with vigilant eyes, looking around. Wherever it went, the surrounding insect beasts made way. Then it slowly came to the corpses of the six people, looked at the corpses in front of it, drooling, but it did not eat them directly.

Instead, it ordered a nearby insect beast to come forward and taste the food for it. The insect beast came forward, tore off the clothes of the corpse with one claw, revealing the white skin underneath. It then bit off the arm with one bite and began to eat it. After a while, with the sound of chewing, the meat and bones went into its stomach.

Just as it was about to continue eating, a low growl was heard, which immediately frightened it so much that it shrank back and then left reluctantly.

Then the insect mother stepped forward and started to eat the corpse. The sound of teeth crunching bones could be heard immediately in the empty and dark cave. Zhang Chen's scalp numbed when he heard it. He had to keep practicing the Water Hidden Technique, while adjusting his breathing and regaining his composure to avoid exposing himself.

At this time, Jin Biao was hiding in a crack on the wall of the cave where the insect mother was gnawing on the corpse, which was large enough to accommodate several people. His eyes were filled with spiritual energy, and he was staring at everything below. It was obvious that he could see everything clearly.

This location was exactly the one he had chosen. When he went to investigate, he had already discovered signs of the Insect Queen there. So he observed the terrain and designed this place. At this time, he was wearing a black cloak that wrapped his entire body. There seemed to be a charm flowing on the cloak, and Jin Biao's breath was hidden.

He took out a one-foot-long spiritual sword from his storage bag, injected spiritual energy into it, and slowly aimed it at the insect queen who was feasting.

The bodies of cultivators have been tempered by spiritual energy and have very few impurities. Eating cultivators is like the latter eating spiritual medicine, which is a great tonic. That is why the insect mother leaves the corpses for herself to enjoy.

At this moment, it was concentrating on eating and seemed to sense something. It raised its head and looked upwards. Just then, a spiritual sword was shooting towards it at a high speed. The insect mother's pupils shrank and she was startled. Before she could make any reaction, the spiritual sword shot directly into her mouth.

The mother insect immediately rolled back and forth in the cave in pain, with large mouthfuls of green liquid flowing out of its mouth. All the insect beasts panicked and kept circling back and forth in the cave, not knowing what was happening.

After a while, the insect mother lay motionless on the ground. The surrounding insect beasts gathered around. It seemed that after confirming that the insect mother was dead, they returned to their nature without the restraint of the insect mother and began to scramble for the corpses of the dead humans, and they finished them all in an instant.

Then they seemed unsatisfied and looked at the Insect Mother's corpse again. Perhaps the Insect Mother's residual power was still there. Although there was an extreme desire in their eyes, they still did not dare to take action.
