Mortal Seeking Immortal

For the first time, Ye Zhou felt a headache because of the strength of the spirit beetle. After a little thought, he decided to carry the spirit beetle with him for the sake of safety.

Under the spirit beetle's hopeless gaze, Ye Zhou took out the jade box that made it feel familiar.

Ye Zhou opened the jade box and said without hesitation: "Go in."

The spirit beetle flew into the jade box unwillingly and curled up in the corner.

In order to compensate the spirit beetle, Ye Zhou stuffed two super insect feeding pills into the jade box and touched the spirit beetle's back soothingly, which eased the spirit beetle's dissatisfaction.

......

A month passed in a flash.

That day, Ye Zhou was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed meditating and practicing, and suddenly he sensed that the formation set on the centipede egg was making a sound.

Ye Zhou's heartbeat accelerated slightly.

"Could it be that the centipede egg has hatched? I wonder what kind of mutant spirit insect will hatch from that mutant egg."

Ye Zhou got up and walked towards the small insect breeding room in the innermost room.

As soon as he entered the insect breeding room, Ye Zhou felt a faint cold air with a fishy smell floating in the stone room.

"It seems that the centipede has really swallowed the jade ice silkworm. The mutated centipede combines the characteristics of the jade ice silkworm, and the cold air it spits out is extremely poisonous!"

Because Ye Zhou is the owner of the centipede, these highly toxic cold air will automatically dissipate when they see Ye Zhou, and will not hurt him.

Of course, with Ye Zhou's current strong body that can resist the attack of the foundation-building period magic weapon, ordinary poisons can't do anything to him.

Following the source of the cold air, I saw a centipede about one foot long lying comfortably in the spiritual liquid with abundant spiritual energy, and it seemed to be absorbing the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual liquid.

While absorbing the spiritual energy, a trace of white cold air spewed out from the mouth of the centipede from time to time. These highly toxic cold air has corroded a big hole in the formation set up by Ye Zhou outside the stone platform.

Ye Zhou was slightly startled.

"These cold air can actually corrode the formation, which can be a means of fighting against the enemy in battle."

You should know that ordinary centipedes can only spit out venom, and its toxicity cannot corrode through the formation so easily.

"It's just that this mutant centipede, except that it is twice as large as the ordinary centipede and can spit out highly toxic cold air, seems to have no other changes."

Sensing the arrival of its master Ye Zhou, the centipede turned over from the spiritual liquid with a "whoosh" sound, climbed onto the stone platform and rubbed Ye Zhou affectionately with its head with sharp claws.

Ye Zhou gently touched the tough back shell of the centipede.

Looking closely at it, he found some subtle differences in this mutant centipede.

When the centipede spit out cold air, a thin ice-blue line will appear on its back. The more conspicuous the thin line, the more cold air it spews out.

The centipede was about to crawl onto Ye Zhou's hand, but unexpectedly, the spirit beetle that Ye Zhou had been carrying on his body bit through the jade box with a "whoosh" sound and came out. The spirit beetle's breath was released, and it stared at the centipede with hostility, as if it wanted to swallow the centipede.

The jade box where the spirit beetle was staying was equipped with a formation to cover up the breath, so the centipede didn't smell the spirit beetle at first.

At this moment, the spirit beetle broke out of the box, and the centipede was so scared that its claws on Ye Zhou's hand froze, and its body froze as if it was playing dead, and it fell straight on the stone platform and trembled.

The cultivation level of this centipede before the mutation was the third level of Qi training. After the mutation, it absorbed a lot of spiritual energy from the spiritual liquid, and now its strength has reached the sixth level of Qi training, which is much stronger than the ordinary spirit insects with only the second and third levels of Qi training, but still not as good as the spirit beetle with the cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation building.

What's more, the spirit beetle is the natural enemy of most spirit insects. Facing ancient spirit insects such as the spirit beetle, the centipede has no courage to fight back and can only wait to be eaten.

However, this mutant centipede has excellent potential for cultivation. In the future, it will surely be able to easily break through the foundation-building stage and become a great helper for Ye Zhou in battle. More importantly, Ye Zhou wants to study the root cause of the centipede's mutation, so as to cultivate mutant centipedes in batches.

Imagine that in the future battle, Ye Zhou took out the Hundred Ghosts Banner and the Insect Control Bag.

There are evil ghosts in the sky, spirit beetles on the ground, and centipedes lurking underground. It's hard to lose.

Ye Zhou reluctantly took out the jade box that was bitten by the spirit beetle from his arms and destroyed it, and took out a new jade box as a nest for the spirit beetle.

After covering up the breath of the spirit beetle, the centipede, who was lying on the stone platform pretending to be dead, came back to life, but did not dare to get too close to Ye Zhou. He only dared to shrink on the stone platform and looked at Ye Zhou pitifully.

Ye Zhou used his spiritual consciousness to communicate with the centipede, trying to find out the real reason for the centipede's mutation.

But before the centipede devoured the jade ice silkworm, it was just an ordinary spirit insect, without spiritual intelligence, and its consciousness was always in a chaotic state. Its memory before the mutation was vague, and it only remembered smelling a very attractive smell one day.

Ye Zhou thought to himself: "It seems that the smell must have been emitted by the jade ice silkworm that accidentally broke into the centipede's territory."

At this time, Ye Zhou had some questions in his mind.

"I wonder if all spirit insects will mutate after devouring the jade ice silkworm, or only the centipede will mutate?"

"If the centipede continues to devour the jade ice silkworm, can it mutate again?"

"It's a pity that only one of the Jade Ice Silkworms was cultivated. If you want to continue your research, you will have to hatch out all the eggs of the Jade Ice Silkworms, then sort out the males and females, and place spiritual herbs to breed them. Breeding, this way, may be enough for research.”

Ye Zhou stretched out his hand towards the centipede. When the centipede climbed up obediently, Ye Zhou took the centipede to the large breeding room outside.

During this period, the white-backed centipede secretly rubbed its head against Ye Zhou's hand from time to time, while vigilantly guarding against the spirit beetle.

Arriving at the small compartment where the centipede was previously raised, Ye Zhou put the centipede down, took out the eggs of the Jade Ice Silkworm in the jade box from the storage bag, and placed them in another compartment. The room is hatched with spiritual grass.

After placing the Centipede Centipede, Ye Zhou went to the compartment where the Ice Soul Red-eyed Spider was. The two Ice Soul Red-eyed Spiders that had swallowed the spirit beetle eggs did not show any reaction. They were still huddled in the corner waiting for Ye Zhou. Feed.

Ye Zhou took out more than a dozen necrotic spirit beetle eggs and threw them into the compartment. Under Ye Zhou's order, two ice soul red-eyed spiders stepped forward and sucked up these dozen spirit beetle eggs in a few mouthfuls. Clean, and continued to move to the corner to digest food.
