“Junior Brother Lu, did you find anything?
Zhou Yunning asked Lu Xuan while paying attention to the battle between the flame giant and Huo Lin’er below.
“I just feel something is wrong. I wonder if there is any connection between the demonic flame insects in the spiritual field and the alienation of this elemental fire spirit.”
Lu Xuan said slowly.
“Okay, junior brother, please pay more attention to yourself. As a spiritual planter, remember not to put yourself in danger. If you encounter anything, you can ask us for help immediately.”
Xu Yong saw that the alienated Yuanjing Fire Spirit was extremely difficult to deal with, and even the true disciple Huo Lin’er seemed unable to solve it in a short time, so he and Zhou Yunning decided to help out here.
“I will pay more attention. Senior Brother Huo has to rely on two senior brothers and sisters.”
Lu Xuan left a sentence, and a spiritual light emerged from the green shoes on his feet, like a floating light that swept into the passage.
Naturally, he would not put himself into a dangerous situation. With the Cloud-Stepping Lynx, Nightmare Eyes in the Void, and Eye-Breaking Techniques, he could detect possible powerful threats in advance and escape unscathed.
When he was about to arrive at the spiritual field, the worm sac on his body flashed with inspiration, and the Cloud-walking Lynx appeared on his shoulder.
A pair of green eyes looked at Lu Xuan indifferently, and the two tufts of gray hair on the tips of the ears quietly bent into a heart shape, clearly revealing his inner thoughts.
“Little lynx, pay close attention to the surrounding area. If you find any trace of evil spirits, please inform me immediately.”
“Ouch…”
The Cloud-Stepping Lynx roared with a hint of concern, showing an indifferent attitude.
“Okay, okay!”
Lu Xuan heard the constant responses in his heart.
As he thought, a tiny crack appeared on the top of his head, and a gray-white eye emerged from the crack, and then disappeared without a trace.
In an instant, it appeared again in the sky ahead, swimming around Lu Xuan.
“The presence of so many demon flame insects parasitic on spiritual plants in the spiritual field is definitely not a natural thing. It must have been planted by monks or demons.”
“Magic Flame Insects are extremely rare. The beings behind them will naturally not watch them being cleaned up. They will definitely find a way to recover the remaining Demonic Flame Insects.”
“Perhaps the fire spirit in Huoyunquan was affected by it and transformed, attracting the attention of Huo Lin’er and the rest of us?”
Lu Xuan thought to himself as he shuttled through the passage at high speed.
“In this case, the strength of the person behind the scenes should not be too strong, otherwise he would not use this method in a roundabout way, and just reduce it to ten levels with one force.”
Thinking of this, he felt a lot more at ease.
When he was about to enter the realm of spiritual fields, he restrained his aura and slowed down his speed.
He turned to look at the cloud-walking lynx on his shoulder. The lynx’s green eyes were staring at the spiritual field in front of him, and he shook his head to indicate that he found nothing unusual.
Lu Xuan frowned slightly and stretched out his hand. A line on his palm continued to grow and deepen, and soon, a small gray eye appeared.
The scene seen by the Void Nightmare Eyes was reflected in his pupils.
In the vast spiritual field, spiritual plants are distributed in an orderly manner. Many spiritual plants have black and red thin lines of different sizes, which are exactly the same as the scene before leaving.
“Huh? It seems a little different.”
Under the control of Lu Xuan’s mind, the Nightmare Eyes in the Void appeared and disappeared, focusing on an unprocessed spiritual plant below.
On several spiritual plants, thin black and red lines were extremely active, and they actually took the initiative to slowly emerge from the branches and leaves.
Lines of malnourished magic flame insects of different sizes gathered towards a certain direction in the spiritual field.
The demon flame insect in a parasitic state actually woke up on its own initiative!
Lu Xuan’s heart trembled, and he stood there, his gray eyes turning slightly, looking towards the direction where the magic flame insects were gathering.
No abnormalities were found.
“That’s wrong.”
He looked at the vision shared by the Void Nightmare Eye in his hand and felt something was wrong.
The distance was too far, and there were stone walls and numerous spiritual plants in the middle, making it difficult to use the Eye-Breaking Technique. Lu Xuan, who was cautious in nature, stood on the spot, his thoughts changing rapidly.
“Yes.”
He took out a jade box from his storage bag, opened it silently, and took out a century-old ice soul. Several thin black and red lines were sealed inside the ice soul.
It was the magic flame insect that he cleaned out from the fire spiritual plant.
I was out of curiosity at the time, so I collected a few of them, hoping to study them after I returned to the sect, or bring them to the old fox for experiments. Unexpectedly, they came in handy immediately.
He carefully took out one of the relatively most active demonic flame insects from it, and infiltrated it with a trace of Aoki’s source energy. The demonic flame insect suddenly became lively and fled away from Lu Xuan quickly.
After entering the spiritual field, he rushed towards the direction where the other magic flame insects gathered.
“As expected.”
Seeing that the plan was half successful, Lu Xuan thought proudly.
The unknown existence in the spiritual field is indeed summoning the remaining magic flame insects. As long as the magic flame insect he released is recovered, it is very likely to complete the feeding process and obtain information about the unknown existence.
High in the sky above the spiritual field, the Nightmare Eyes in the Void stared closely at the released demon flame insect. After it merged into the void, Lu Xuan’s mind in the distance was focused on the void.
A thought came to mind.
[The Flame Demon Insect Mother is a vassal of the extraterrestrial demon Balrog. She is born with the mysterious fire, has strong concealment ability, and has the strength of a quasi-alchemy monk. 】
[The Balrog mother can give birth to numerous alien insect offspring, suck the vitality of various fire spiritual plants, and then return to the mother insect after they are developed, which can be used as nutrients for the growth of the Balrog. 】
[My poor children, why are they all so malnourished? 】
“Extraterrestrial demon? The strength of the quasi-denal formation? Although it is not difficult to deal with it, it is best to gather with senior brother Huo Lin’er and let him deal with it.”
Lu Xuan took a long breath. After learning the information about the existence of nothingness in the spiritual field, he had the idea of backing down. When he was about to take back the Void Nightmare Eye, suddenly, he was stunned by the sight in his hand.
I saw that many magic flame insects that were originally gathering in one direction in the spiritual field suddenly stopped and stayed in place motionless.
This scene immediately aroused Lu Xuan’s vigilance.
“Too careless!”
“Although during the process of clearing out the Demonic Flame Insects, these insects, which are still in the parasitic stage, have no strong resistance ability and have not shown any subjective consciousness.”
“But this does not mean that they will behave like this in front of the Flame Demon Insect Mother. They are derived from the Insect Mother and should have a unique way of communication.”
“Although the Demon Flame Insect that was just released allowed me to learn about the Flame Demon Insect Mother, it might also expose me and be noticed by the Flame Demon Insect Mother.”
Lu Xuan felt a trace of regret in his heart. He was paralyzed by those parasitic flame insects, and he did not expect that he might be exposed.
“Soldiers come to block it, water comes and earth covers it. Although the insect mother knows my existence, she doesn’t know that I also know its existence.”
“In a sense, the initiative is still in my hands.”
Lu Xuan looked calm and thought secretly.
