I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Su Mo sat on the ground in a daze, looking at the teaching tower opposite.

"Hey, how can it eat so much in one bite?"

"Will this guy not take a bite while I'm fighting?"

Xiaota said, "The blood contract won't let it do this. It may have eaten too much just now. You just need to communicate with it properly later."

Su Mo took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Just after the contract was completed, the caterpillar suddenly drilled into her sea of ​​consciousness, which really scared her.

Only now did she see that after the contract was completed, a message about nightmares was passed to her.

Su Mo didn't want to waste time checking the information in the space, so she decided to take a look at it when she went out to clean up the nightmare.

After informing Bai Bai, she left the space.

Well, that’s part of the situation regarding the nightmare branch of the Gu insect clan.

They have been special since the first nightmare was born in the Gu insect clan a long, long time ago.

Not only are the abilities special, the food is also special.

They feed on the souls of cultivators. The higher the level of cultivation, the more they like them. On the contrary, the souls of ordinary people are too weak and they don't like to eat them, and there is no benefit in eating them even if they do.

This is also the reason why they are disliked by their own kind. The nightmare's diet also includes the souls of their own insects.

Nightmare's talent is strong, but the flaws that come with it are also obvious.

If they are allowed to grow, the stronger the nightmare becomes, the more it will be unable to control its instinct to suck the delicious soul. If the prey is accidentally pulled into the dream by them, the only outcome will be the destruction of the soul.

No matter what it is, being out of control is terrifying, let alone a nightmare with powerful innate abilities and a very special diet?

Perhaps it was because the ancestors of Nightmare had gone too far, and all races at that time were very afraid of them. Finally, after a major event, Nightmare was completely defined as a "pest", and it was even the Gu insect clan who took the lead in expressing this attitude.

After that, Nightmare was ostracized, targeted, and attacked by all races.

After that unified action, the nightmare was extinct.

One day, thousands of years later, a special larva was born in the territory of the Gu insect clan.

After the three current elders of the tribe learned about the talent of this larva, they were all in trouble.

"Is this, is this the nightmare coming back?!"

"Oh my god, is this a nightmare?"

The third elder said uncertainly, "Should we just kill this unstable factor?"

The Great Elder flatly refused, "No! The Gu insect clan is already in a difficult situation. It's rare for a larva to be born. We can't do this!"

This was the only time that the elders discussed these things in front of the young Nightmare. No one knew what kind of discussion the tribe had afterwards.

Finally, it was decided to kick the larva out of the house.

Whether you live or die depends on God's will.

Although the Great Elder did not want to abandon the larva, it was absolutely impossible for him to let it raise Nightmare.

It has no way to solve the food problem. Get the soul back to feed it and grow it up. When it grows up, it will become an uncontrollable pest. If you don't feed it the soul, even if it eats other things, it will be useless for the growth of the nightmare.

It can only be left to fend for itself.

After that, the young Nightmare began his lonely wandering life, leaving the place where he was born and wandering around.

Life outside is very difficult. It can occasionally run into some casual cultivators and secretly have a meal with them, but it never dares to eat its fill!

After all, the soul is an extremely important thing to everyone. If it is missing, it will be easily discovered. When it left the tribe, the elder warned it that if it was discovered that it was a nightmare, then its death would not be far away.

This made the little nightmare dare not do anything reckless, and it kept wandering around in a state of not being able to starve to death. Growth was something out of reach for it, and it dared not even think about it.

And one day when it was living in a daze, a group of people discovered it.

Those people were subordinates of the Lord of Sand City. One of them recognized the insect's identity, but that person didn't know it was a nightmare.

By chance, it was taken back to Sand City by those people as a treasure and presented to the city lord.

Little Nightmare was actually happy in his heart. It didn't matter if he was caught, as long as he was provided with food.

On the way back to the city, those people fed it various foods, but those foods could only barely keep it alive. If it did not take any spiritual food to replenish the energy in its body for a long time, it would become weak and fall into hibernation, and it would die when its energy was exhausted.

After arriving at the Sand City, Nightmare finally understood that those people had simply misunderstood it as an ordinary poisonous insect and they didn't know it was Nightmare.

Forget it, it is better to rely on yourself than on others. There are many people in Sand City, including many monks. It only eats a little bit every day, so I guess no one will notice.

As a result, it turned out to be a good idea, but the Lord of Sand City was a knowledgeable man and he saw through it as soon as it was presented.

The nightmare was immersed in the Sand City. There were many delicious souls around it when the Lord of the Sand City found a box made of antelope wood and sealed it.

Little Nightmare "..."

It was completely confused at the time.

The Antelope's Breath Wood can only suppress the ability of nightmares, but not completely control them, so the city lord added another seal to the box and suppressed it with the Heavenly Fire that was also sealed by him. The nightmare was thus sealed tightly and could no longer reveal a trace of energy.

The nightmare that was forced into the small box didn't know why the Lord of Sand City didn't just kill it. Being locked up here was a life worse than death.

Skyfire Red Spirit, who had the same fate of being sealed, was also in a bad mood. The damn city lord couldn't contract it himself, so he sealed it. That wasn't enough, he had to use himself to suppress another seal.

Chi Ling wanted to vomit fire and burn the whole city down!

In this way, time passed day by day, and the nightmare that had long been dormant had no idea how much time had passed.

But just yesterday, the seal on the box suddenly loosened, and the dormant nightmare was stimulated and woke up.

At this time, it had little energy left in its body, but its instinct for survival still made it try to extend its tentacles. (The invisible tentacles of nightmares are the energy floating in the city.)

Without the suppression of the Heavenly Fire, the seal was vulnerable and was shattered by the slightest touch of the nightmare's tentacles.

Even so, the suppression of the Antelope Tree still exists. The energy that it had worked so hard to accumulate before being sealed is almost gone. It has no way to escape, and can only stay in the box honestly, using its innate ability to hunt secretly, and slowly recover.

What made Nightmare despair again was that after finally being able to penetrate the energy and get out, he found that the Sand City was deserted and had become a dead city! ? There was no food left for him.

Just before despair almost overwhelmed it, its energy brought back good news: there were still a few living creatures in the city!

Nightmare couldn't wait to catch them in his net.
