Do not die

As if responding to their thirst, when the swarm of golden-armored spirit insects that had been dormant for many years woke up again and showed their extreme thirst for blood, a bright red mist appeared from the center of the swarm of golden-armored insects.

Then, this dark red mist spread rapidly, covering the entire "golden clouds".

These dark red blood mist, formed by dispersing the purest essence and blood that has been warmed and maintained in the spirit gourd space for many years, carry the irresistible temptation of the golden-armored spirit insects.

In an instant, the "Golden Clouds" seemed to be boiling completely.

The "buzzing" sound that went straight into the depths of Meng Zhou's soul also seemed to be conveying an emotion that was so exciting that it was almost crazy.

Before these golden-armored spirit insects fell asleep, Meng Zhou was only at the seventh level of pill formation.

At that time, most of the blood essence and blood accumulated in the spirit gourd space were at the third-order mid-grade level, and there were not many that actually reached the third-order high-grade level.

After these golden-armored spirit insects "drank" the essence and blood of their hearts, their strength broke through from the third-level mid-level to the third-level high-level, and passed the last major hurdle of the third level.

But it is just the beginning of entering the level of the third-level high-grade, but there is still a long way to go before the peak of the third-level high-grade.

Now, most of the heart essence and blood warmed in the spirit gourd space were accumulated over time after Meng Zhou's cultivation reached the ninth level of elixir formation. The other ones were basically accumulated when he reached the eighth level of elixir formation.

The quality is far from comparable to the last time.

As the golden-armored spirit insects crazily and greedily inhaled the bright red blood mist around them, the high-quality blood mist they inhaled into their bodies turned into their own essence with an astonishing transformation efficiency.

The aura of each golden-armored spirit insect is rising rapidly, and they are like springs that are pressed to the limit.

Now, it’s time for them to bounce back extremely quickly.

Originally, individually, they were just golden-armored spirit insects that had just entered the third-level high-grade level, but their aura quickly became deep and condensed.

Of course, in this "A Thousand Insects Show" moment, there are always those who perform relatively crotch-stretching.

Their bloodline potential cannot support them to go further.

Gradually it is unable to keep up with the overall growth rate of the "golden beetle swarm".

For these spiritual insects, Meng Zhou not only did not give them more preferential treatment, but instead planted them in a more sinister growth environment.

They can no longer easily obtain the nourishment of the blood mist. Before each time they can obtain the nourishment of the blood mist, they must first engage in a life-and-death struggle with another person.

The winner devours the loser, and all the loser's body accumulation is turned into the winner's resources. Under this pressure of life or death, the shackles of "bloodline potential" are broken through again and again.

At the same time, new golden-armored spirit insects with higher bloodline potential will be born.

They are also growing rapidly under the nourishment of this blood mist.

If you focus your vision on a specific individual, you can find that almost no golden-armored spirit insect can complete the journey.

Some go farther, some go closer, and some don't even have a chance to transform from scarab eggs to larvae.

Ultimately, they will all serve as stepping stones for new generations to move up the ladder.

But if you zoom in on the entire "golden cloud" and the entire swarm of golden beetles, you will find that the strength of each insect swarm is slowly but surely improving.

In order to reduce the consumption of essence and blood, the scale of the insect swarm has been slowly declining since the beginning.

But this reduced number will not affect the bloodline continuity of the insect swarm.

Although, with a sufficient supply of essence and blood, the growth and reproduction speed of the golden armored spirit insects are extremely exaggerated.

But it still takes time after all.

When the strength of the Scarab Swarm as a whole increased at a relatively stable rate, everything became stable.

From the supply of essence and blood to the way to deal with different golden armored spirit insects, fixed rules have been formed.

Meng Zhou also had plenty of time again.

He first looked at the updates of the area corresponding to the Hongze Wasteland in the "Deduction World", and also paid attention to the situation of the foggy sea where he was now.

After that, while Meng Zhou waited for the transformation of the golden beetle swarm, he spent his spare time cultivating the "Wanxiang Pearl", so that it began to slowly accumulate in the master realm.

About a month later.

Fifty Tai Sui bodies that had been scattered to various parts of the Hongze Wasteland returned one after another.

There is strength in numbers. Fifty Tai Sui bodies working together for a month with clear division of labor can be more efficient than one Tai Sui body working for fifty months.

The "view anchor point" that "they" arranged with the Shadow Water Mirror as the core is enough for one hundred and eighty "transparent round mirrors" to cover the entire "flooding wasteland".

Under "them"'s conscious avoidance, "them", each of whom had the peak strength of the sixth level of pill formation, did not encounter any accidents.

The process of "them" arranging the "view anchor point" was also carried out quietly, without disturbing anyone.

With the complete spread of these "view anchor points", the operating rules of the one hundred and eighty "transparent circular mirrors" were finally established.

After a month of "trial operation", a large amount of precious first-hand information was accumulated, enough for Meng Zhou to formulate an optimal operation plan that is most suitable for the wild land of Hongze.

After completing this matter, Meng Zhou can focus more on the cultivation of the "Wanxiang Pearl".

But this is not the case.

Meng Zhou put more effort into the study of the "deductive world" corresponding to the Hongze wilderness, and the cultivation of the "Wanxiang Pearl" became a "pastime."

The amount of experience gained every day dropped from an average of more than a thousand points to less than a thousand points.

More than ten days passed.

On October 22, the red blood mist in front of Meng Zhou was getting lighter and lighter.

Because Meng Zhou didn't provide new heart essence and blood.

When the golden-armored spirit insects that seemed to never have enough to feed them sucked up the last trace of blood mist, and directly sent him the emotion of "want more", Meng Zhou did not satisfy them anymore, but used him He has absolute authority over these golden armored spirit insects, forcing them to enter a sleeping state and put them into the spirit gourd space.

——Insect control is a branch of beast control, and beast control is only one part of spirit control, and spirit control is completely included in the category of "spiritual master".

With Meng Zhou's mid-level spiritual master attainments, and the fact that this swarm of golden beetles had used the heart essence and blood provided by him countless generations ago as the cornerstone of survival, reproduction, and advancement.

During this process, the bloodlines of these golden armored spirit insects had been reshaped countless times in silence.

With each reinvention, his control over them deepened.

By now, Meng Zhou's control over these golden-armored spirit insects has long been no longer limited to any technique or situation.

Meng Zhou felt that his control over these golden-armored spirit insects was no less than those of the native living poisons that had been assimilated by the soul pool.

The reason why the soul pool cannot be assimilated like the native living poison has nothing to do with the degree of control. It is just because the life form of the golden armored spirit insect is more complex than the native living poison, and exceeds the limit that the soul pool can currently handle.

…

After collecting all the golden-armored spirit insects into the spirit gourd space, Meng Zhou dealt with all the abnormal traces left here.

Then he left this foggy sea without stopping and hurriedly fled in a certain direction.

About 200,000 miles away in the direction he chose, there was only a sporadic coral reef protruding from the water, and the rest of the area was filled with Zeguo's third-level spiritual veins.

On top of that third-level spiritual vein, there are four Constellation Palace Formation Pills guarding it.

Three days later, one of the guardians will return to Xingxiu Sea.

This was decided two months ago.

Meng Zhou, who was walking in the interlayer between the real world and the real world, easily passed through the barrier of the third-level top-notch protective formation without triggering any warnings, and came to the cave where the guarding pill was.

What happened was a familiar matter to Meng Zhou.

It only took him less than an hour to finish everything he needed to do.

Because there were still more than two days before his return, Meng Zhou was not even in a hurry to transform into a beast and enter the beast bag.

Instead, he continued to stay in the mezzanine between the real world and the real world. He practiced the "Everything Bead" for two more days and gained 5,000 experience points.

When Meng Zhou put the newly made "All-Seeing Pearl" into the spirit gourd space, calmly ended his training on the "All-Seeing Pearl", transformed into a beast, and entered the beast bag to sleep quietly.

[Master of Wanxiang Pearl 58,000/1.6 million]

Just half a day after Meng Zhou entered the beast bag, the owner of the beast bag was wrapped by an invisible force on time and left the wild land of Hongze.

When he reappeared, he had already returned to the spiritual island where the teleportation array was arranged in Xingxiu Sea.

Because he had a deep understanding of Xingxiu Sea and Xingxiu Palace, Meng Zhou was not as cautious as he was when he first followed Fan Ling into sneaking in.

One day later, it was confirmed that the monk who had brought him back had left the spiritual island where the Observation Hall was located and returned to his own spiritual island. Meng Zhou stopped hiding in the beast bag.

After a slight hint, all the contracted monsters in the beast bag came out of the beast bag, woke up from their slumber, and soon dispersed in all directions.

Meng Zhou also took the opportunity to free himself from the identity of the contracted monster, leaving behind a big monster that was transformed from Tai Sui's body and behaved exactly like the "original" in all aspects.

After escaping, Meng Zhou did not go anywhere else, but once again came to the sea near the spiritual island where the Observation Hall was located to hide.

"Contacting" the deputy palace master Cao Bin at close range, and through the contract connection, Meng Zhou quickly mastered the information of all returnees in the next two months and the information about the monks who would be arranged to go to various wilderness areas to replace them.

"It's October 25th now, and the closest rotation will be seven days later, on November 2nd, to the Lingyue Wilderness."

Meng Zhou also discovered that just two months later, at the end of December, there happened to be a pill-forming member of the Observation Hall in this deserted area who was arranged to exchange with the monk who had been guarding it for the longest time.

In this way, the schedule for the round trip is clear, and the time is about two months, which is just right.

"You are the one……"

Meng Zhou was about to make a choice, but suddenly stopped.

His eyes turned to the other return application.

That was an application arrangement about half a month later. On the ninth day of November, the Observation Hall would arrange for a monk to go to the Furnace Wasteland to replace one of the guarding pills.

This is also the only teleportation exchange in the Refining Furnace Wasteland within two months.

The reason why Meng Zhou paused was because during the regular rotation of the Observation Hall next time, it was time to reach the Furnace Wasteland.

At that time, another monk from the Observation Hall who has now been determined will go to the Furnace Wasteland to exchange positions with one of the guarding pills.

The specific rotation time will be at the end of February next year.

Compared with the choice of Lingyue Wasteland, this opportunity to go to the Refining Furnace Wasteland doesn't look very good at first glance.

If you go by the standards you have set in your mind, it would be equivalent to wasting two months.

Is it really a waste?

He chose the Lingyue Wasteland and returned before the end of the year.

After returning, the first thing he had to do was to find a place in Xingxiu Sea to retreat and practice.

Throughout the first month, he would spend his time practicing in seclusion.

Whether it’s in Xingxiu Sea or elsewhere.

As far as he was concerned, choosing Xingxiu Sea as his daily retreat place was a last resort.

For him, there is no truly safe place in Xingxiu Sea.

Therefore, not returning to Xingxiu Sea at the end of the year, but continuing to stay outside and find a suitable place to retreat and practice, would be more in line with his wishes and make him feel more at ease.

Another thing, Meng Zhou felt that the forty-five days before and after this trip to the Hongze Wasteland was too short.

To complete the plan in his mind, he had to go to at least one more place in Hongze Wasteland.

The risk will accumulate as the number of trips increases.

Therefore, the fewer times for such a trip, the better.

"If I choose the Furnace Wasteland, excluding the time for retreat and practice, I will have eighty days of activity.

I might try to do something in one trip that I originally planned would take two trips. "

With this in mind, Meng Zhou gave up on the Lingyue Wasteland and determined that his next trip would be in the Refining Furnace Wasteland.

…

Half a month later.

Meng Zhou successfully entered the furnace wasteland.

"It really deserves the name of 'Refining Furnace'."

As soon as he entered this domain, Meng Zhou felt its "enthusiasm" that was very different from the Juye Wasteland and Hongze Wasteland.

Even he feels this way, so one can imagine how harsh the environment in the Refining Furnace Wasteland is.

The sky is like ten suns shining on the earth at the same time. Looking far into the distance, everything in sight seems to be twisting because of the rising heat wave.

The mountains are twisting, the earth is twisting... The reality here seems to be twisting irregularly and constantly.

Such a world is a bit too much for practitioners, let alone ordinary people.

Mortals simply cannot survive in such a world.

But the actual situation is that the vitality of life in the Refining Furnace Wasteland is not inferior to that of the Juye Wasteland and Flooding Wasteland.

However, Meng Zhou had no intention of exploring these at the moment.

After leaving the cave where the Xingxiu Palace guarded the Dan, and the third-order spiritual vein where the cave was located, Meng Zhou found a suitable hiding place as quickly as possible.

Then, he would repeat what he had already done once in the wilderness of Hongze.

First, fifty Tai Sui bodies dispersed throughout the Refining Furnace Wasteland, and then, one after another, "transparent round mirrors" flew out, lighting up a new area in the "Interpretation World". (End of chapter)
