Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 76: The Caretaker, Caught in a Trap!

"Impossible!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

"How did he discover me?!"

"I was so careful. Seeing that he seemed to have ill intentions towards Hu Xianzong, I even took precautions to prevent him from investigating this sea of consciousness. I even closed off the spiritual network in advance!"

"He has no reason to discover my existence, let alone find my location so quickly?!"

"..."

Inside the restricted space.

The "Yao Eighteen," who had just been exposed, was rolling around anxiously, its chubby body trembling with unprecedented intensity and turbulence.

Surprise, frenzy, disbelief!

And a little bit of confusion and panic!

In its limited life as a bug, it had never experienced such a failure before!

It never expected that one day, it would be imprisoned and captured alive by a lowly human in the sea of consciousness of a spiritual cultivator!

It was too shameful!

Too humiliating!

Unacceptable, unforgivable!

"This is a newly formed lower-level world of spiritual energy!"

"Before our ancestors assigned us here, they explicitly stated that the safety index here is one hundred percent, making it the best incubator for nurturing us devouring spirit larvae!"

"But now, why is this impossible accident happening to me?!"

"Who is this man named Liu? How did he discover my existence?!!"

"..."

The thoughts of the Yao Eighteen continued to agitate, roaring and unable to calm down for a long time.

And this performance, in the eyes of Hu Xianzong beside it...

It was like a fish that had just been pulled out of deep water, suddenly leaving the surface, constantly thrashing its tail and head, struggling desperately.

However, in front of a powerhouse like Liu Guwen, no matter how the little bug struggled and thrashed, it was in vain!

That man was simply unbeatable!

Hu Xianzong glanced at the humanoid shadow standing in front of the little bug, his eyes filled with awe and fear.

He was too powerful!

This ability to directly transform and condense into a human form was no different from the mythical Astral Projection!

I wonder when Hu Xianzong himself will reach such a powerful cultivation realm?

Liu Zimo didn't rush to kill the Yao Eighteen.

He stood outside the restriction, quietly watching the performance of the little bug, carefully listening to the various thoughts and information it transmitted.

He knew that the current situation was far from a true crisis for the devouring spirit bugs.

Their spiritual threads could easily pierce through any mental restraints.

The mental barrier Liu Zimo had placed around the Yao Eighteen couldn't truly trap it.

As long as it spat out its spiritual threads, rooted them into the sea of consciousness, and absorbed power, it could easily break free from the current confinement!

Sure enough, after a moment of restlessness, the Yao Eighteen suddenly became quiet.

Twisting its chubby butt, it raised its round little head and slowly looked towards Liu Zimo's astral projection.

"Human, tell me, how did you discover my trace?!"

"Even if I'm going to die, let me die with a clear understanding!"

The little bug suddenly spoke, pretending to be in a state of resignation and weakness, directly probing Liu Zimo for the reason it was discovered.

It knew that humans usually had the annoying habit of showing off their victorious posture in front of the defeated.

As long as it showed weakness, causing the other party to relax their guard, they would unknowingly reveal the information it wanted to know.

The reason it didn't choose to escape immediately was to figure out where it went wrong.

Only by knowing the other party's means of investigation, as well as the flaws and weaknesses in itself, could it make the most effective countermeasures when encountering similar hunts in the future.

It was a good idea.

However, it didn't know that Liu Zimo had already understood its thoughts.

But as the first devouring spirit bug to speak in front of him, Liu Zimo was still quite interested in this little bug.

You should know that whether it's "妖零零" or the other three devouring spirit insects that Liu Zimo had previously killed, they have always remained silent in front of him and have never spoken a word.

If it weren't for their active thought fluctuations, allowing Liu Zimo to eavesdrop on their thoughts at any time, he would have thought that these insects, like the lower-level monsters, couldn't speak at all.

"I... f*ck!"

"This insect... it, it, it can actually speak human language?!!"

Beside him, Hu Xianzong couldn't hold back and burst out with profanity due to the stimulation.

Originally, it was shocking and unexpected enough for him to suddenly have an extra small insect in his mind.

But what he didn't expect, and found even more unbelievable, was that this little insect could actually speak!

And it was speaking Mandarin!

Isn't this absurd?!

Could it be that this little insect has become enlightened?!

Shua!

Liu Zimo and "妖十八" simultaneously gave Hu Xianzong a dissatisfied warning glance.

It's really strange to see something so rare!

There are many races among the monsters that can speak human language. Just because you haven't seen them doesn't mean they don't exist!

Hu Xianzong shivered and quickly shut his mouth, not daring to make a sound or show any mental fluctuations.

He was afraid that if either of these two big shots became unhappy, they would casually kill him!

"I can make you understand."

At this moment, Liu Zimo calmly spoke up.

"But before that, I need you to tell me, you, and your devouring spirit insect clan, what is your purpose for coming to Earth?"

"And, how many of your clan members have descended to Earth?"

Although Liu Zimo already had some understanding of the answers to these questions from "妖零零," he still wanted to confirm them again from the mouth of this devouring spirit insect in front of him, just in case.

"Trying to get a confession out of me?"

"What a cunning guy!"

"But, he doesn't know that our devouring spirit insect clan has always been unyielding. Only ghosts die, there are no submissive insects!"

"Wanting me to betray my clan and betray the old ancestor, it's simply a dream!"

"But, speaking of which, how the hell does this human know that I am a devouring spirit insect?"

"I don't remember telling him my identity... Could it be that before me, this Liu Zimo had already encountered other devouring spirit insects?!"

"Oh my god!"

"妖零零, 妖十一, and those idiots, could they have already been killed by this Liu Zimo?!"

At this moment, "妖十八" seemed to have realized something and suddenly trembled.

Without bothering to say anything else, it immediately exerted all its strength to release its spirit threads, instantly weaving a giant spirit web in Hu Xianzong's sea of consciousness.

With the power of the spirit web, it easily broke free from the mental restraints around it and regained its freedom.

From beginning to end, Liu Zimo didn't make a move to stop it. Instead, he allowed "妖十八" to act freely and weave the spirit web.

In Liu Zimo's view, these spirit webs were all good things, rare treasures for any spiritual cultivator.

Later, leaving this spirit web in Hu Xianzong's sea of consciousness could be considered compensation for tearing through his mental barriers.

"Foolish human, die!"

At this moment, "妖十八," who had revealed its full strength within the spirit web, was no longer weak and listless. After a loud roar, it suddenly shot out!

Shua!

A flash of light as fast as lightning!

Before Liu Zimo could react, "妖十八" followed his mental fluctuations and directly appeared in his sea of consciousness.

Seeing this, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Liu Zimo's mouth.

He knew that these devouring spirit insects would never give up their expertise in devouring spirits.

When it was impossible to resist and they had to fight to the death, they would definitely take the initiative to enter the opponent's sea of consciousness, attempting to manipulate and control the opponent's soul and consciousness.

And now, it seemed that his prediction was correct!

This "妖十八," like the previous devouring spirit insects, chose to throw itself into the net, actively jumping into the "trap" that Liu Zimo had prepared for it.
