Chapter 319 Reverse Pulse Insect Mother (Thanks to [Exploding Heaven Gang – Primordial Supreme Ancestor] for the great service!)

The fact that such marks could be left indicates that the other party was enormous.

Moreover, their strength should not be underestimated.

Yang Zhenyue asked, “How is it?”

Xu Changqing glanced at Zhu Fuxian, and seeing the other party nod slightly, he said, “Although this is the first time I’ve seen it, according to records, the Reverse Vein Insect Mother does leave similar traces when it moves.”

Reverse vein worm, whether larvae, adults, or even mothers.

While absorbing spiritual energy and the earth’s energy, they also excrete impurities from their bodies through the pores in their scales.

Ishigaki said in a deep voice, “It seems that the Reverse Pulse Insect Queen is right in front of us. As long as we catch or destroy it, we can solve half of the problem.”

Zhu Fuxian nodded slightly: “This time, the Corrosion Vein Disaster is caused by two things: the Reverse Vein Insect Mother and the Corrosion Spirit Fungus King. Once they are both resolved, the disaster will at least be over.”

Xu Changqing keenly realized that He Zhu meant the disaster was over, not that it was completely resolved.

In other words, we must find Rong Long from the Rong family and get to the bottom of things.

After all, this person almost caused a major disaster. Even if he is a high-level array master from the Immortal Sect, he cannot be let off easily and must pay the price.

Zhu Fuxian thought for a moment and said, “From now on, you should not lead the way. If you encounter the Reverse Pulse Insect Mother, even Foundation Establishment cultivators will be at risk.”

Rong Yan asked curiously, “Is the Insect Queen that powerful?”

Xu Changqing had only seen it in books, so he listened intently.

Zhu Fuxian explained: “The Reverse Vein Insect Mother is usually surrounded by 5 to 10 groups of adult insects. Each group of adult insects has the killing power of the early stage of Qi Refining. If all of them are added together, they are comparable to the peak of Qi Refining, and may even reach the early stage of Foundation Establishment.”

Moreover, the Hundred-Year-Old Reverse-Pulse Insect Mother also possesses the strength of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

That is to say, there are more than 5 groups of adult insects, plus the female insects.

If they join forces, Xu Changqing and Rong Yan might not be a match for them.

Upon hearing this, the two men’s expressions changed slightly, and they hurriedly made way for each other.

Seeing this, Yang Zhenyue quickly stepped to the front and took over leading the way.

And so, the group continued deeper into the area.

During this period, I still encountered adult insects, mostly in groups, but there were occasional exceptions.

Sometimes, when there are more crystals in a certain area, the adult insect population will increase.

However, for Yang Zhenyue, who possessed the strength of the early stage of the Golden Core realm, this was not a concern at all.

Without using any magical artifacts, he simply raised his hand and controlled the surrounding earth energy to condense, instantly squeezing out every single adult insect in front of him.

The popping sounds rang out one after another, which sounded somewhat relaxing.

As their monster-killing efficiency increased, everyone’s progress became faster and faster.

Before long, the scene ahead changed. Upon closer inspection, the rock walls on both sides not only showed signs of corrosion but also had scale-like patterns.

“What’s this?”

“Just like dragon scales!”

“And it’s naturally formed, not man-made!”

Seeing this, Xu Changqing and Rong Yan became very curious and stepped forward to take a look.

Ishigaki said with a hint of regret, “This is called dragon scale pattern, which means we are close to the source of the underground spiritual vein, that is, the dragon’s lair.”

The clearer this thing is, the greater the likelihood that the spiritual vein will become a dragon vein.

It is clear that this place was once a very auspicious burial site.

Unfortunately, the dragon-scale-like patterns are now covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

The original pale golden light had been completely exhausted, leaving only a dark gray-black color, as if covered with a thick layer of dust.

The once warm and lustrous jade color has now faded into a dull, lifeless color, like withered stone.

When Xu Changqing touched it, he only felt a bone-chilling coldness, with no trace of the powerful, attribute-less spiritual energy, and even felt a slight stinging sensation at his fingertips.

Raising a finger to tap the rock wall no longer produces a deep, resonant sound like a bell, but rather a hollow echo like a broken pottery jar.

It was as if the inside had been… hollowed out by insects.

This situation indicates that Xu Changqing and his companions are getting closer and closer to the Mother of the Reverse Vein Worm.

The deeper you go, the more adult insects you find.

Initially, only one or two groups appeared at a distance, rarely reaching three or more groups.

But nowadays, there will be at least one group every ten meters or so.

Even the number of adult insects has reached its limit of 50.

But no matter how much more, it’s just a matter of raising a hand for Yang Zhenyue.

Not to mention that this earth vein manager is a Golden Core cultivator, and moreover, earth spirit roots have an increased combat power when underground or in places with earth energy.

The higher the realm, the greater the amplification and the stronger the power.

All along the way, it was an easy and effortless crushing.

Before long, a huge nest appeared ahead, seemingly built directly above a pit.

The entire nest was constructed from a mixture of countless dark red insect silks, scales, and depleted spiritual vein crystals, forming a hemispherical shape with a diameter of about ten zhang.

The nest blends perfectly with the surrounding dilapidated dragon scale rock walls, as if it were born there.

Clearly, this is the nest built by the mother of the Reverse Pulse Worm.

Ishigaki’s eyes flashed with a fierce light: “The Insect Queen chose this place to build her nest because she valued the last remaining spiritual vein foundation of this auspicious spot. Even if the spiritual vein is depleted, this place is still more suitable than other places for stabilizing the nest, and it can also enhance its strength by using the residual aura of the spiritual vein.”

However, if this is done, this auspicious burial site, also known as the Dragon Transformation Site, will be completely ruined.

From then on, not even a trace of spiritual energy would emerge from it; it could be said that even its last remaining value was squeezed dry by the Reverse Pulse Insect Mother.

Xu Changqing squinted his eyes and observed carefully.

Based on the knowledge stored in his mind, the nest of the Reverse Pulse Worm was divided into several layers.

My dear reader, there’s more to reading—even more exciting content awaits!

The top layer is the hatching area for insect eggs. However, the originally translucent shell is now covered with a layer of gray-black. The larvae inside are developing abnormally slowly because they cannot absorb enough spiritual energy. Many egg sacs have shriveled up and even lost their vitality.

The middle layer is the habitat of the insect queen and contains the largest number of crystals.

The lowest level connects to the Dragon’s Lair, where a thick insect tube extends down from the nest, deeply rooted inside, seemingly still drawing something out.

You can see this thing wriggle every now and then, and it looks a bit… disgusting.

Before taking action, Zhu Fuxian reminded him, “We’ve already discussed this before; we’ll be the ones to deal with this century-old Reverse Vein Insect Mother.”

Ishigaki’s face, as expressionless as a stone statue, remained completely blank: “Whatever.”

He didn’t want to waste too much time on this matter; he wanted to resolve it as soon as possible and return the separated projection to Xuan Yuan.

After all, things are getting increasingly restless there.

Zhu Fuxian smiled slightly: “Then let’s get started.”

Without Ishigaki making any move, the enormous Reverse Pulse Insect nest suddenly melted away like spring snow, quickly revealing the huge insect queen inside, as well as many newly hatched larvae, and even groups of adult insects.

The mother insect is several meters long and as thick as a round table, with its head and tail gradually narrowing, while its body is thick in the middle.

The insect’s body is covered with irregular bumps and folds, each bump inlaid with palm-sized black and red scales, the edges of which are curled up like rusted iron sheets.

At first glance, it actually looks quite similar to the natural dragon patterns around the dragon’s lair!
