Chapter 977: Inside the Secret Realm, the Ferocious Beetle
The fog here just can't be dispelled, which is still understandable.
We continued along the way without encountering any major danger.
However, one or two broken corpses could occasionally be seen on the ground.
Obviously, after several months of exploration, the dangers ahead of this secret realm have been overcome by the flesh and blood of predecessors.
There is no great danger, but there is no gain either.
The treasures that could be discovered had already been taken away.
Only the occasional ferocious roars of beasts coming from the depths of the fog indicated the danger of this secret realm.
"From the sound, the beast must be quite powerful. It is very likely to be at the king level, or even stronger!"
“No wonder, even the Three Saints of Guixu and the Five Emperors of Guixu are unwilling to venture into some places.”
Guixu is vast and boundless. The areas ruled by the Three Saints, Five Emperors and Twelve Kings are just a drop in the bucket of the vast Guixu.
More places are still hidden in the endless wilderness, and even after countless years, they have still not been explored by anyone.
Zhong Changsheng followed the source of the sound and moved forward.
He had no idea whether there were any treasures in the secret realm or how many there were.
But for him, the ferocious beast itself is a great tonic.
Killing him and devouring his flesh and blood would allow him to further advance in his cultivation of qi and blood martial arts.
These days in Guiyuan City, the flesh and blood of the ferocious beasts that Li Yi gave him had less and less effect on his improvement.
Zhong Changsheng knew that it was because the quality of the beast's flesh and blood was not high enough.
Even if a king-level ferocious beast would lose a considerable amount of its blood and energy during the refining process, it should not be a problem for it to help itself condense another blood talisman.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
"Chi chi chi!"
As he walked, a rustling sound came into Zhong Changsheng's ears.
In the fog, he couldn't see the movements clearly. When he reacted, he saw a large group of densely packed gray beetles that looked like small stones, surrounding him.
Upon closer inspection, there were still some bones left on the ground nearby after being bitten.
Most of them are incomplete human bodies, and some are even the remains of ferocious beasts.
The eyes of those beetles emitted a strange pale light in the mist.
Those lights seemed to be able to penetrate the fog and directly see Zhong Changsheng's position.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
"Chichi!"
On the ground and in the air, dense swarms of black beetles were rushing towards Zhong Changsheng.
Although there are many of them, they are all in good order.
At this moment, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of beetles attacked from all directions. Even from above, countless beetles fell from the tree trunks and headed straight for Zhong Changsheng.
Almost subconsciously, Zhong Changsheng released a protective blood energy to block his body.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Those gray beetles immediately became excited, flew onto the blood barrier, and began to bite it continuously.
"Kakaka!"
In less than a few seconds, Zhong Changsheng's blood barrier was completely eaten up.
Zhong Changsheng subconsciously stimulated the power of qi and blood and threw a punch through the air.
The force of this punch is so strong that even a marquis-level blood and qi warrior would not be able to withstand it.
"Boom boom boom!"
In the mountains and forests, countless gray beetles were blown away. However, they quickly got up from the ground, their eyes glowing green, and rushed towards Zhong Changsheng again, without any signs of injury at all.
On the contrary, many beetles stayed at the place where Zhong Changsheng had just made his move, greedily sucking the blood and energy remaining in the big pit.
"The power of Qi and blood is completely useless against these beetles. No wonder those people died here."
Zhong Changsheng had a blank expression on his face.
Immediately, he waved his hand, and the Yuanxiang Golden Pill in the Purple Mansion vibrated slightly. A palm wrapped in vast true energy pressed down with a bang.
"Boom boom boom!"
A huge handprint was pressed onto the ground.
Those beetles seemed to have never encountered an attack from True Energy before, and for a moment they seemed a little panicked.
But not long after, dense swarms of gray beetles crawled out from the collapsed ground again.
Many gray beetles gathered together, excitedly devouring the remaining true energy in the void.
“It’s still useless!”
Zhong Changsheng frowned slightly.
It seems that the energy of qi, blood and true essence can be used as food by them.
Moreover, after absorbing Zhong Changsheng's palm power, dozens of originally gray-white beetles grew rapidly in size.
They were originally only the size of a thumb, but now they have grown to the size of a palm.
The gray shell also turned into a light green at this time.
A strange aura emanated from the light green shell.
The color of those beetles that had swallowed a lot of blood turned light red.
Their shells have a faint metallic luster and look extremely hard.
"In that case..."
Zhong Changsheng flipped his hand, and an imperial spear suddenly appeared in his hand.
There is no absolutely invincible existence in the world.
There is no living being without flaws.
Even the Three Saints of Guixu and the Nine Dao Ancestors of the Heavenly Realm dare not say that they are without flaws.
As long as we find their weakness, we can find a way out.
Since these gray beetles do not seem to be afraid of attacks in the form of energy such as blood and true essence, then their weakness is most likely physical attacks.
Although, their shells look pretty hard too.
Zhong Changsheng held the spear in his hand and casually made a spear flower. Suddenly, thousands of stars appeared in the void.
Wherever the gun went, it accurately hit the eyes of the beetles.
"Pfft!"
Dozens of gray beetles had their eyes poked and their entire heads exploded instantly.
Strands of sticky light green blood flowed out from the corpses of the beetles.
"Crash!"
In the dense forest, a rain of beetles suddenly fell.
The beetles seemed to be aroused by some kind of bloodiness, and their light green eyes immediately turned scarlet.
Their speed doubled in a short period of time, and they attacked Zhong Changsheng in an overwhelming manner.
Even though the long sword is Zhong Changsheng's favorite weapon, during his two lifetimes of practice, he has learned all kinds of martial arts and dabbled in all eighteen kinds of weapons.
Although his spear skills are not as sharp and domineering as his sword skills, and he is not as comfortable with them, but under the realm of True Dao, he can definitely be considered top-notch!
At this moment, dealing with some unintelligent beetles is like a fish in water.
He wielded the spear so tightly that no air could penetrate it, and all the beetles that were attacking from all directions were blocked out.
The shells of these beetles are indeed very hard, but they will still burst if hit two or three times continuously with the gun.
If the spear pierces the eyes, it can kill the person instantly.
After finding the weaknesses of the beetles, Zhong Changsheng went straight into the killing mode.
