Chapter 1371
Gu Chen threw the seriously injured Peng Fu into the Black Hole Space, letting him continue to struggle for a while.
After dealing with him, Gu Chen glanced at the Qi Clan's ancestor.
The Qi Clan's ancestor was nervous for no reason. After seeing the powerful Peng Fu end up in such a miserable state, he didn't dare to have the slightest disloyalty towards Gu Chen.
Moreover, from the conversation between the two, he also keenly sensed something unusual. Chen Gu was just an alias. His master's background was probably greater than he originally thought.
The Qi Clan's ancestor was worried about whether Gu Chen minded his previous allegiance to the old Black Tortoise. He suddenly saw him say, "The movement over there is getting quieter. Let's go and take a look."
Only then did he realize that Gu Chen wasn't looking at him, but at the place where the old Black Tortoise had set up the formation in the distance. He was greatly relieved.
Gu Chen walked forward unhurriedly, with Fatty Qian and the Qi Clan's ancestor following closely behind.
"Well, your real name is Gu Chen, right? I helped you, where's the opportunity? "
Fatty Qian was a friendly person. After confirming his cooperation with Gu Chen, he asked with a cheeky smile.
"There are many opportunities ahead." Gu Chen replied casually.
"There? The scene is a bit miserable! "
Fatty Qian extended his divine sense to take a look and couldn't help but shiver.
After experiencing the attack of the insects and snakes, the original Wind Erosion Forest could indeed be described as miserable.
The rocky peaks there had collapsed, and the ground was covered with the bodies of silver beetles, rock snakes, and the cultivators who followed the old Black Tortoise.
There were originally more than 85 followers, but after the chaos, there were nearly 75 corpses left behind.
These people all died extremely miserable deaths, and only a few corpses could be found intact.
Gu Chen stopped a mile away from the center of the disaster, where some silver beetles remained and were sweeping the blood-red ground.
"Seems like the final victor is the native insect race of this secret place."
Gu Chen muttered. The other Dao Querying cultivators who were still alive had probably escaped. Under such a shocking number of insects, it was already a great fortune to be able to escape successfully.
"This is too tragic. That old tortoise simply doesn't treat humans as humans!"
The Qi Clan's ancestor looked at the corpses on the ground with an ugly expression. He had almost become one of those corpses.
Those who died were all well-known figures in the Longevity Realm, but even their corpses couldn't be preserved. It was too shocking.
After the chaos caused by this secret place, the Longevity Realm would probably be destroyed.
When he thought about how everything started because of the Old Black Tortoise, and how he actually wanted to rely on him, the Qi Clan's Ancestor Xuan felt that he was too stupid.
On the other hand, although Gu Chen had forcefully conquered the Qi family with force, he had done so for a reason, unlike the Old Black Tortoise, who could sacrifice all the innocent people who were unrelated to him for his own benefit.
Being indirectly saved by Gu Chen, and seeing that he promised benefits to Fatty Qian, who was also a prisoner, Qi Clan's Xuan Zu suddenly had the urge to be loyal to him.
"This place is so tragic, where would the opportunity come from?" Fatty Qian complained to Gu Chen, he didn't even think of approaching there.
"These dead people have been searching for treasures in the secret land for many days. They left behind a lot of treasures."
Gu Chen explained in an understated manner.
Fatty Qian's eyes suddenly brightened. Making money from the dead is a safe, efficient and risk-free business!
"Should we do it now?" Fatty Qian was eager to try.
"Let's wait for those fierce bugs to leave."
Gu Chen shook his head. Although there weren't many silver beetles left, who knew how many more of their companions they could summon. It was better to wait for them to leave.
The three of them suppressed their thoughts and waited. During this time, Gu Chen discovered many Demonic Sky-Devouring Butterflies around him.
The butterflies smelled the smell of blood, but like them, they did not enter the battlefield to hunt for food.
This was also what Gu Chen told them before he released them. Try to maximize the chance of evolution with the least casualties.
Time passed slowly, and the silver beetles swept through the entire battlefield and even gnawed on all the corpses.
They seemed to eat everything. Not only did they not let go of the cultivators' corpses, but even the ugly Rock Snakes were not spared.
When the corpses on the battlefield were almost nibbled clean, an unexpected scene appeared.
The silver beetles found storage rings and other things from the cultivators' bloodstained clothes. Biting them in their mouths, they lined up in an orderly manner, ready to fly away from here!
"What the hell? Those insects are robbing our things! "
Fatty Qian was anxious when he saw this. Those were countless treasures!
Gu Chen's expression also changed. He suddenly found that he underestimated the wisdom of these fierce insects. They actually knew how to rob storage rings!
Gu Chen stared at the swarm of insects and spread out his divine sense to observe carefully. His expression immediately became even more incredulous.
He vaguely saw some faint blood-colored lines on the armor of some of the silver beetles!
"Could it be …"
Gu Chen took a deep breath and fully activated the Deep Sea Purple Polar Eyes to see through the bodies of these fierce insects!
Under his ocular sorcery, the bodies that were digested by the swarm of insects were quickly converted into energy in their bodies, and were being absorbed by their bodies …
This was not just pure absorption. Gu Chen found that after devouring the flesh and blood, the body structure of the fierce insects also vaguely changed!
"Like the Demonic Sky-Devouring Butterflies, they can continue to evolve by devouring other species?"
Gu Chen's heart was in turmoil. He looked at the Demonic Sky-Devouring Butterflies and then at the silver beetles.
He was all too aware of how terrifying this ability to evolve by devouring other species was. This meant that this race had no ceiling and had unlimited potential.
These silver beetles were immune to many Dao techniques, and their bodies were indestructible. They were already standing at the peak of the insect race.
Now they also had the ability to evolve infinitely. The threat they posed was too great.
"This mysterious land of chaos has been isolated from the world for countless years. If this insect race has long possessed the ability to evolve, their numbers would definitely be more than this. Moreover, the leader of the swarm is probably far stronger than I imagined."
"The swarm of insects took away the storage rings. Is this the leader's idea?"
Gu Chen's expression was uncertain. He recalled that when the Kui Cow had been trapped, the swarm of insects had suddenly appeared to support it.
As the leader, the Kui Cow had easily fallen into the old Black Tortoise's trap, and the swarm of insects had become the biggest winner. The difference in intelligence between the two was obvious.
Was the first chaotic creature to develop intelligence at the beginning of the world really that Kui Cow?
