Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 315 - 314: Spirit-Devouring Insect!

This item is precious, but Gu Yuan doesn’t intend to use it for alchemy, nor for artifact refining. Instead, he plans to fully utilize it to strengthen his physique.

In fact, since entering this Red Dragon Small World, Gu Yuan has encountered not just one dragon species, such as the Crimson Flood Dragon in the magma he saw earlier.

For example, the Dragon Turtle just now, and even the Red Dragon Daoist himself, are all dragon species. However, it’s possible that the Red Dragon Daoist might have already achieved the Primordial Spirit and transformed into a True Dragon Body.

Killing the Dragon Turtle didn’t cost Gu Yuan much time; it merely added some excitement and gain for him.

Afterward, Gu Yuan and his companions continued on their journey.

As they delved deeper, the miasma around them grew increasingly thick, and the number of various demon beasts in the swamp became more and more numerous.

It’s worth mentioning that due to the unique nature of the Black Mud Swamp, it has also fostered many poisonous insects and gu insects.

For instance, Gu Yuan saw a swarm of exotic insects flying by, as thin as the tip of a needle. They were dense and numerous, resembling a thick, grayish-yellow mist.

Yet, wherever this swarm of exotic insects passed, the lush vegetation withered, as if losing its vitality and life force.

Even those fierce and bloodthirsty demon beasts and fierce beasts were terrified, fleeing frantically at the sight of these strange exotic insects.

Some demon beasts and fierce beasts did not escape in time, and after the grayish-yellow mist swept past, they only let out short and shrill cries.

When the grayish-yellow mist moved past, only dried corpses remained, devoid of blood, and even their bones and flesh turned dull and lifeless, completely lacking any spiritual qi.

It was as if some terrible force had devoured all the essence within them.

"What, Spirit-Devouring Insects?!"

Gu Yuan was also terrified, his face changed, and he hurriedly pulled Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling aside.

Spirit-Devouring Insects are a special type of exotic insect, quite fragile by nature, and even ordinary people can easily crush dozens or hundreds of them with their fingers.

However, once their numbers increase, these exotic insects show their terrifying nature.

These Spirit-Devouring Insects have two abilities: one, they can devour all kinds of spiritual qi in the world; two, they reproduce at an incredibly fast rate.

When their numbers are small, it’s okay, but as their numbers grow, they become like these Spirit-Devouring Insects in front of them, capable of sucking the three of them dry.

Even with Gu Yuan’s current power and divine techniques, it’s challenging to resist.

Because even if he attacks with swordsmanship or Purple Sky Divine Thunder and other divine techniques, it has little effect.

Why?

Because when he strikes with Thunder Light, that Thunder Light might kill millions of Spirit-Devouring Insects, but simultaneously, the spiritual qi in the Thunder Light would be devoured and eroded by even more Spirit-Devouring Insects.

And then, at the same time, the Spirit-Devouring Insects that have devoured the Thunder Light’s spiritual qi would quickly reproduce and grow. It’s possible that before Gu Yuan could launch a second attack, the number of these Spirit-Devouring Insects would not decrease but instead increase.

In this way, as their respective strengths increase and decrease, even if there were several Golden Core Great Cultivators, it would be futile.

He Ling True Master had solemnly warned Gu Yuan about these Spirit-Devouring Insects, advising him to be cautious and best to avoid them.

Of course, although these Spirit-Devouring Insects are formidable, they also have certain limits mysteriously and have a short lifespan, so while they run rampant in the Black Mud Swamp, they are only considered a nuisance but are not entirely unbeatable.

Moreover, even if Gu Yuan goes to great lengths to kill all these Spirit-Devouring Insects, what benefits can he gain?

There’s no benefit, only danger, and he’s not inclined to get involved; he’d rather avoid it if possible.

After finally avoiding this swarm of Spirit-Devouring Insects, not long after, Gu Yuan suddenly waved his hand, signaling the two women behind him to stop.

In front of them, floating on a vast area of waterlogged land spanning several hundred miles, were large sections of withered wood and stone mounds, looking conspicuous yet somewhat bizarre.

However, if one looks closely, one can see that these things floating on the water are not withered wood or stone mounds, but rather strange crocodiles.

These crocodiles are very large, casually stretching over a dozen meters long each. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Their surface is ash-gray, with thick scales, and although they prefer stillness to movement, they exude an invisible yet fierce aura.

"These are Stone Demon Crocodiles."

Gu Yuan said softly, his voice low, as though talking to himself, yet also speaking to the two women beside him.

The Stone Demon Crocodile is a rather ferocious demon crocodile, an Earth Demon Beast. Its scales are not only thick and solid but also shimmer with a faint grayish-white spiritual light.

Gu Yuan knows that even a normal flying sword wouldn’t easily break through their defense because the strength and defense of Earth Demon Beasts are famously strong.

The number of this group of Stone Demon Crocodiles is over a hundred, densely scattered across this patch of waterlogged land.

Particularly, Gu Yuan even saw a gigantic Stone Demon Crocodile over fifty meters long.

This Stone Demon Crocodile has dark yellow scales all over its body, and on its head, there’s a single sharp azure horn, with four paws more like Flood Dragon claws, standing out conspicuously among the group of demon crocodiles.

This is clearly also a demon beast with True Dragon Bloodline!

However, compared to the previous Dragon Turtle, the aura of this Stone Demon Crocodile King is much stronger.

Not to mention a Yin Spirit Demon King, it’s probably only a thin line away from the Yin Spirit Realm.

Anyway, Gu Yuan just gazed from afar, not daring to approach.

Because he felt a strong dangerous aura emanating from this group of Stone Demon Crocodiles.

Especially those dozen or so Golden Core level Stone Demon Crocodiles, including the leading Stone Demon Dragon Crocodile!

Although Gu Yuan indeed possesses the strength to slay a Golden Core, the problem is the Stone Demon Crocodile group in front of him doesn’t just have one or two Golden Core demon crocodiles, but a dozen, with the leader being the Stone Demon Dragon Crocodile, only a hair’s breadth from a Demon King, so even if given a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare to face this group of Stone Demon Crocodiles.

Of course, if he can’t provoke them, he can avoid them.

But Gu Yuan doesn’t want to hide.

Because his target, the twin-lotus Violet Green Lotus, is not far in front of this group of Stone Demon Crocodiles.

There, a group of "tiny," several meter-long young Stone Demon Crocodiles were leisurely sunbathing, playing, rolling, swimming in the water.

On the surface of this small patch of water, a piece of emerald green lotus leaf floats, dotted with clusters of violet green twin-lotus flowers.

A gentle breeze blew past, and these twin-lotus flowers swayed slightly, emitting a faint, pleasant fragrance.

Gu Yuan clearly knew that among the many growth conditions of the violet green twin-lotus, the most indispensable was the excrement of the Stone Demon Crocodile.

That’s right, although the twin-lotus is miraculous and precious, an indispensable factor for this spirit medicine is the Stone Demon Crocodile’s excrement!

In other words, only where there are Stone Demon Crocodile groups will there be violet green twin-lotus growing.

Similarly, the lotus leaves of the violet green twin-lotus also serve some purpose for the young Stone Demon Crocodiles, making them complement each other.

Therefore, Gu Yuan now faces a difficult problem.

To harvest the twin-lotus, he must find a way to deal with or address this group of Stone Demon Crocodiles. Otherwise, acting rashly would only invite calamity!
