Chapter 1372
"They are about to leave, Gu Chen, are we going to rob them?"
Fatty Qian saw that the swarm has formed a formation, flapping their wings one after another and anxiously asked the stunned Gu Chen.
Gu Chen came back to his senses, his mood has calmed down and said. "Let them go."
"Let them go? So many treasures, are you willing to give them up? "
"The three of us will attack together, we will definitely be able to keep them all!"
Fatty Qian is reluctant to give up those storage rings, even the Qi Family Ancestor is a little moved.
He has been with those dead cultivators these days, and he knows what treasures they may have obtained.
Gu Chen also does not want to give up the treasures, but he knows that the swarm is not simple, and it is absolutely not good to alert the enemy.
"Let's catch up and see where they are going." Gu Chen's eyes flashed.
"You mean there might be more treasures in their nests?"
Fatty Qian's mind is very active, immediately thinking of more possibilities, and gave Gu Chen a thumbs up. "You are so smart, it seems that this time we are going to make a fortune!"
Gu Chen smiled bitterly, if they really reached the nest of the swarm, whether they have the courage to break in is another matter.
In the distance, the swarm flew away, and the three quickly followed.
Before Gu Chen left, he glanced at the Heaven Swallowing Demon Butterfly group and found that after the silver beetles left, the butterfly group began to devour the bodies of their companions left behind.
The silver beetles devour other species, but they do not eat their own kind.
Watching the butterflies excitedly eating a large number of silver beetles' bodies, and more and more friends came, Gu Chen was inexplicably relieved.
…
The three followed behind the silver beetles, always keeping a certain distance, very vigilant.
The swarm has an obvious destination, and did not stop along the way, wherever they passed, the group of beasts retreated.
After an hour, the swarm came to a long and narrow rift valley, the valley was filled with miasma, and after the swarm flew in, they could no longer see the specific situation.
"It seems that this is the nest of the swarm." Fatty Qian looked eager to try.
In his opinion, since these fierce insects also know how to find treasures, with their scale, the valley is probably full of mountains of gold and silver.
"Roar —"
Just as Fatty was about to step forward, an earth-shattering roar suddenly came from the valley.
This roar sounded somewhat familiar, but at this moment, there was clearly some anger and panic in the voice!
"That's the voice of the old turtle!"
Qi Clan's Ancestor Xuan could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Just what had happened to make the insufferably arrogant old tortoise so flustered?!
Gu Chen was also visibly moved. His guess was being verified step by step.
"That old turtle is inside? That's not good. If he dies in there, how are we going to leave the secret place? "
Fatty Qian was shocked. The old turtle's roar was obviously not good. He suddenly felt that in front of him was not a treasure land, but a dangerous place.
Gu Chen remained silent and carefully looked around the valley entrance. He found some traces of blood on the ground.
"This is the blood of the Kui Ox. It seems that the old turtle chased after the Kui Ox and finally ran into this place, and then an accident happened." Gu Chen looked grim.
"Milord, you mean that the old turtle originally set a trap, but in the end, he was set up by someone?" Qi Clan's Ancestor Xuan's eyes revealed a bit of fear.
"Then who set up the old turtle? Is it someone from the Thunder Commandery? "Fatty Qian asked casually.
"How can the people from the Thunder Commandery command the swarm of insects, snakes, and even the Kui Ox? I am afraid that the person who set up the old turtle is the strongest native of this secret place!"
Qi Clan's Ancestor Xuan's back was full of cold sweat, and his voice was trembling. "Such high intelligence is completely beyond our imagination. We thought that we are the hunters in this chaotic secret place, but in fact, we have been secretly regarded as prey!"
Qi Clan's Ancestor Xuan was very vigilant, and Gu Chen could understand his fear at the moment.
The chaotic creatures that grew up in this secret place were born strong. If they also had extraordinary intelligence, it would be a disaster for them.
Gu Chen understood more details, and he was even more afraid of the mysterious creatures in the valley.
"Then what should we do now? Should we turn around and escape? "Fatty Qian also realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Where can we escape to? The Teleportation Talisman to leave the secret place is in the hands of the old turtle. "Qi Clan's Ancestor Xuan smiled bitterly.
Both of them finally looked at Gu Chen, and this matter was still up to him to decide.
"Let's first figure out the situation inside."
Gu Chen let out a breath, and turned into a doppelganger that looked exactly like him.
The doppelganger nodded at Gu Chen, and then merged into the earth, turning into a shadow, and quietly entered the valley.
Fatty Qian hesitated for a moment, but when he saw that Gu Chen's doppelganger had successfully entered the valley, he did not say anything more.
Gu Chen slipped into the valley with extreme caution.
The valley here was broken and long, and it was a crisscrossed rift belt with countless forks.
The miasma in the valley was not strong, and Gu Chen looked around, listening attentively, trying to figure out the location of the old turtle.
Unfortunately, after the old turtle's roar, there was no more movement, as if it had evaporated from the world, which made Gu Chen very uneasy.
The long and narrow rift revealed an indescribable sense of oppression, and Gu Chen even had the illusion that he was being watched.
He observed the traces on the ground, and one after another found the blood of the Kui Niu, and followed its footprints into the depths of the rift.
After turning a few forks, Gu Chen's face suddenly changed.
The valley in front of him was full of demon beast skeletons, and the ground was also covered with layers of bone powder. It was unknown how many years of killing to create such a place.
Gu Chen carefully walked past, and found some silver insect pupae hanging upside down under some giant beast skeletons.
One of the pupae happened to have a larva struggling to get out, and Gu Chen saw that it looked similar to the previous silver beetle.
"It seems that this is the nest of the silver beetles."
Gu Chen murmured, and quickly walked through the valley.
He passed by many other valleys, and everywhere was the skeleton of demon beasts. The bone powder left behind by the wind seemed to cover the valley with a layer of snow, making the place seem gloomy even though it was daytime.
Corresponding to the sea of bones, Gu Chen saw even more pupae, and in the end, the number of pupae was simply too many.
If all the pupae here hatched, how many fierce silver beetles would be born?
Ten million, fifty million, or even a hundred million?
Gu Chen's expression became more and more serious, and he gradually approached the center of the rift.
When he stepped into another valley, all of a sudden, a hair-raising aura surged over!
There was clearly nothing in front of him, but in his perception, there seemed to be a pair of emotionless eyes coldly staring at him!
It was like it stood at the peak of all life, like a supreme monarch, looking down at him with a noble and mocking gaze!
A Dao Monarch?
The thought flashed through Gu Chen's mind, but he quickly rejected this guess.
This wasn't the pressure of a Dao Monarch, but the one secretly staring at him did indeed stand at the peak of the myriad races.
He was born a supreme being, and he had tasted the loneliness of being at the top.
