Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

Chapter 365 Strange Life

A multitude of thoughts flashed through Chu Yunfan's mind in an instant.

Finally, an idea formed in Chu Yunfan's mind.

If that's the case.

These black flying insects are far more dangerous than the gold-eating rats.

If I can subdue them, then I will have an even more powerful army under my command!

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfan launched attacks to block the black flying insects' advance while simultaneously using his soul power to try and find the leader of the black flying insects.

To subdue these black flying insects, you must first subdue their leader. The same principle applies to subduing the gold-devouring rats; you only need to subdue the insect king.

However, to Chu Yunfan's disappointment, after searching around, he found that all the black flying insects looked exactly the same, and there were no particularly unique black flying insects.

Moreover, the cultivation aura emanating from all the black flying insects was roughly the same, with none of them standing out.

"Is it hidden too well, or is there no insect king at all?"

Chu Yunfan frowned and continued searching with his soul power.

However, after searching again, they still found nothing.

However, while the Insect King was not found, Chu Yunfan made another discovery during his soul power exploration.

That is, these black flying insects in front of him seem to have no means of attack. Every time they encounter his attack, a group of black flying insects rush out and self-destruct to defend themselves.

Of course, self-destruction is not the main point.

The key point is that after each self-destruction, the surrounding black flying insects would swarm in and devour all the energy from the self-destruction and Chu Yunfan's attack.

After they finish devouring the insects, the number of these black flying insects will suddenly increase by a large margin.

"These black flying insects are far too fierce; they can actually devour energy to reproduce rapidly."

Moreover, given enough energy, these newly hatched black flying insects can grow to the level of fourth-tier demonic beasts in the blink of an eye!

Upon making this discovery, Chu Yunfan was filled with immense surprise.

The speed at which these black flying insects reproduce and grow is simply unbelievable.

However, witnessing the power of these black flying insects only strengthened Chu Yunfan's resolve to subdue them.

However, what troubled Chu Yunfan was that he could not find the Insect King.

"Since there's no difference in appearance, let's distinguish them by their souls!"

A new idea suddenly formed in Chu Yunfan's mind.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yunfan probed the bodies of these black flying insects with his soul power, trying to find out the existence of the insect king by distinguishing the strength of their souls.

However, what happened next completely surprised Chu Yunfan.

"What? These black flying insects don't even have souls inside them!"

Chu Yunfan looked incredulous as he repeatedly used his soul power to probe the black flying insect's body.

However, no matter how Chu Yunfan investigated, the result was always exactly the same.

That is, there is no soul inside these black flying insects at all.

Not even a trace.

"How could there be a life in this world that does not have a soul?"

Even ordinary mortals who haven't cultivated possess a faint soul within them, let alone these fourth-tier demonic beast-level flying insects!

For a moment, a huge question mark appeared in Chu Yunfan's mind.

At the same time, Chu Yunfan began to abandon the idea of ​​subduing the swarm of black flying insects.

Let's set aside whether or not the Insect King exists.

Even if there is an Insect King, these black flying insects don't even have a soul, and Chu Yunfan has no idea how to control the Insect King.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfan made a decisive decision and retreated immediately.

Since these black flying insects cannot be subdued, Chu Yunfan sees no need to waste any more time and energy on them.

Meanwhile, outside the space battlefield, discussions began to rise.

"I remember there weren't any self-destructing beasts in the space battlefield originally, right?"

The one who spoke was Li Tianyi, a Martial Saint realm expert from the Human Alliance.

The person he was speaking to was none other than the host of this grand gathering of geniuses, Shen Xinqiao, the peak Martial Saint who had taken out the spatial battlefield.

Hearing the doubt in Li Tianyi's words, Shen Xinqiao shook her head slightly and replied:

"The self-destructing beast is a creature that devours almost all energy."

Placing them into the space battlefield will only cause the energy of the space battlefield to be completely consumed.

I would never do something so self-destructive.

It's estimated that one of the participants in this grand competition brought the self-destructing beast inside.

Upon hearing Shen Xinqiao's answer, Li Tianyi's face showed doubt again, and he said:

"But I remember that self-destructing beasts only exist in the Abyss of Destruction."

As one of the most dangerous forbidden zones on the Azure Cloud Continent, even a Martial Saint Realm expert would face a near-certain death if he entered the Abyss of Destruction.

Who would risk their life to bring out a suicide bomber from that godforsaken place?

Moreover, these self-destructing beasts have no souls and are impossible to subdue. What was the point of bringing them out?

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Shen Xinqiao's reply rang out.

However, this time Shen Xinqiao did not speak, but instead used soul transmission to Li Tianyi.

"If my guess is correct, it's probably the demons or monsters who are up to their tricks in the dark!"

"Demons and monsters?"

Upon hearing these two sensitive words, Li Tianyi's heart skipped a beat, and his expression turned serious.

However, before Li Tianyi could pursue the matter further, another scene unfolding in the spatial battlefield completely captured his attention.

Within the spatial battlefield, in a huge valley.

At this moment, a large number of human and demon geniuses have gathered here.

What's strange is that these human and demon prodigies didn't seem to have any intention of fighting each other to eliminate one another. Instead, they formed many small groups, each occupying a corner of the valley, remaining silent and motionless.

Shortly afterward, in the center of the valley, the space rippled, and several figures suddenly appeared.

Immediately afterwards, a hearty laugh broke the tranquility of the place.

"Hahaha!

It seems Mr. Jin wasn't too late; the treasure hasn't been revealed yet!

The one who spoke was none other than Jin Pengyu, the prodigy of the demon race.

Behind Jin Pengyu followed Hu Sanxiao, Tu Xingchuan, and Baihu Sha.

Furthermore, Tu Shanyu's figure also appeared behind Jin Pengyu.

As soon as she appeared, Tu Shanyu's gaze swept around, as if searching for something.

Finally, Tu Shanyu's gaze fell on a corner of the valley.

This is where the geniuses of the Qingyun Sword Sect gather.

Shangguan Wan and Jian Shisan were clearly among them.

Of course, by this time, Shangguan Wan and Jian Shisan had both recovered from their injuries, and the killing intent within their bodies had also been completely cleared away.
