[Ancient Sword II] Morning Light Shadow

Although I learned how to let an ice silkworm breed offspring from the Qisha priest, but thinking about the consequences, the ice silkworm whose lifespan is not much shorter than that of the Lieshan tribe is just tossing—Ms. ——In less than 100 years, the family was wiped out due to a genetic disease, and Shen Xi deeply felt that it was not feasible to overthrow the seedlings and encourage them to grow.

At that time, the conditions did not allow it, and we had to do it. Now that everyone is in Buzhou Mountain, it would be unreasonable to only catch one...

Second Miss Shen's decision, as long as it doesn't hurt herself, no matter how unreasonable Chu Qi is, she won't object.I checked around the Hemu Forest and made sure there were no creatures that could threaten them—even if there were, I would not dare to make trouble here, and Hemu itself is a kind of food crop, so there is no need to worry about cutting off the cooking. There was nothing wrong with the girl's proposal.

As for the demons and ghosts thrown by Shen Xi to Qinghe's disciples before they came to Buzhou Mountain, Chu Qi was not at all worried that they would be played to death. After all, both Li Bao'er and Lala were already dead.

Of course, he didn't think that he agreed with Shen Xi to extend his stay because he thought those two were too intrusive.

However, in the next few days, Shen Xi didn't even find a single ice silkworm.After unconvincedly wandering through the whole Muhe forest to no avail, she picked up the insect flute and used the method of attracting insects, and then found a black cocoon buried in the fallen leaves. Blown down from the branches of Muhe.

It is quite unreasonable that there are only two ice silkworms that slipped through the net in a whole forest of wood grains.

Shen Xi recalled that when he first came here, he found several traces of ice silkworm activities, and the distance between these places was not close. Even if two ice silkworms jumped at three times the speed, they would not occupy such a large area.

And she also knows that there is a relationship between life and death. For Muhe, ice silkworms can be said to be a kind of natural enemy. If there were no ice silkworms to gnaw on the leaves of Muhe and hinder its survival, this Muhe forest would definitely be endless. With such a small scale now... In other words, the time when the ice silkworms that originally lived here were taken away should have been recently.

After successfully taming the two ice silkworms, Shen Xi immediately told Chu Qi about the details that had been ignored before, and after deliberation, they both thought of a possibility.

Someone captured the ice silkworms here before they came, only the two that were found by Shen Xi later were never caught, and it was not long before they arrived at the southern foot of Buzhou Mountain.

"It's just insane!" Second Miss Shen was furious about the fact that other people eat meat and even leave only a little bit of soup for the latecomers. Eat something, starve to death, this is to engage in genocide? It's outrageous!"

The last two seem to be taken away by you, Miss Xi... Chu Qi calmly looked at the bell hair accessories tied to Miss Shen's braid, and remained silent.

After Shen Xi got angry, she looked down at the two ice silkworms poking each other with their tails, and was happy again. This pair happened to be a male and a female.

"After they give birth to offspring, send a few back." Shen Xi curled up her right thumb and made the other four fingers stand up, "Ice silkworms have an even number of eggs every time and the male and female correspond to each other. It is relatively long, but it should be able to recover in about 40 years."

Chu Qi doesn't care about the growth and reproduction process of the bugs. What he's thinking about is whether people or other races who came here earlier to capture the ice silkworms will find that there are still slipping through the net, and then go back and forth, and... Is it threatening.

After the discussion, Shen Xi agreed to Chu Qi's suggestion without any objection, and left Buzhou Mountain immediately, running first before talking.

However, before they left, what happened was the worst scenario that Chu Qi had envisioned.

"Sure enough, there are ice silkworms that slipped through the net, hand them over, little girl."

The beautiful woman with double horns looked at Shen Xi with a smile, and raised her voice, the light-to-dark purple of her body fluctuated with the ups and downs of her body as she walked, reflecting the changes in the crimson light.

Shen Xi shook her head: "No way... I have already domesticated you, if you cut off contact with me, you will die."

She is not very familiar with fabrics, but the red color mixed between the fabric fibers of this person's clothes... is the red cocoon that ice silkworms can only form once in a lifetime. If they are catalyzed by spiritual power, the ice silkworms will die immediately after forming the cocoons. .

The number of red cocoons needed to make such a suit of clothes is almost equal to the number of ice silkworms that can be bred in this piece of wood and grass forest.

If there is no mistake, Shen Xi has every reason to believe that the pair of ice silkworms in his hands are probably the last two in the world.

Just to make a dress.

—absurd.

"It doesn't matter, just form a red cocoon before you die." The purple-clothed beauty said softly, narrowing the vertical pupils unique to cold-blooded animals.

Chu Qi had already stood in front of Shen Xi and lowered his figure slightly. No matter what the other party did next, he could respond as quickly as possible.

"It's not good to kill chickens to get eggs..." Shen Xi continued to shake her head, "Your Excellency will live a long life, so wait a few more years, and it won't be too late for the newborn ice silkworms to grow up."

The little girl tilted her head and spoke very cutely, but Chu Qi, who was lightly tapped by Shen Xi a few times on the back of her hand, knew that it meant the conversation had collapsed.

The beauty in purple hooked the corners of her lips, as if laughing at Shen Xi's suggestion. Then, a huge metallic green insect with a wingspan of two feet cast a cross-shaped black shadow and passed by. Both Shen Xi and Chu Qi disappeared.

"Although Buzhou Mountain was also affected by the collapse of the Tianzhu, it is quite different from the outside environment..."

Shen Xi buried her head in Chu Qi's arms to prevent the air from rushing into her mouth, "At least the oxygen concentration is much higher than outside, and an ancient creature like Qingzai can still jump a few times."

Due to the phenomenon of atavism, the unusually huge dragonfly slightly lowered its flying height in dissatisfaction, obviously disagreeing with Shen Xi's statement.After all, during the period from hatching to the present, it has relied on Shen Xi's spiritual power to live. Whether the air is good or not has nothing to do with it.

Chu Qi just wanted to bang the heads of these two to get them into the mood quickly.

"It really is a dragon..."

One second he was flirting with the giant dragonfly named Qingzai. The next second, Shen Xi saw a winding snake-like shape rising up behind him. The body surface was covered with dark purple scales, and the front of the head was shaped like coral The pair of horns and the pair of gray vertical pupils below are no more than obvious that they belong to the former purple-clothed beauty.

The only one who can use spiritual power in Buzhou Mountain is the Dragon God or his kin. After all, this is also the place where many horned dragons have practiced.While judging the identity of the other party, Shen Xi made up his mind to run away first.

According to the records about dragons that she knew in this life, it took 500 years for the dragon to transform into a horned dragon, and another 500 years for the horned dragon to practice. After 500 years of cultivation, the horned dragon entered the Buzhou Mountain Dragon Cave for trials, and after being reborn, it became a Yinglong... who can enter Buzhou Mountain , only Ceratosaurus and Yinglong.

The one hanging at the back is obviously not as capable as Ying Long, otherwise the two of them may not be able to run ahead at this moment, if the Horned Dragon...

Although he was born in a nation with dragons as his totems and descendants of dragons in his previous life, what is on Shen Xi's mind right now is Nezha making troubles in the sea...

Aware of Shen Xi's thoughts, Chu Qi whispered: "Miss Xi, don't worry, after leaving Buzhou Mountain, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Buzhou Mountain is the site of Zhonggu. Under the eyes of the Dragon God, he used spiritual power to fight and beat—the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon who are not related by blood. Come up with such a stupid thing.

Shen Xi didn't forget to pay attention to the movement of the horned dragon behind when she dismantled the horned dragon with her bare hands on the seventh day of her brain hole. As far as she knew, no matter whether it was an eastern dragon or a western dragon, it could spray some mass destruction in its mouth. things, such as the water jet that Qing Zai avoided just now.

In order not to hurt the ice silkworm on her body, the more violent fire or thunder elements were not used, which is thankful.

The flying speed of dragonflies is quite fast among insects, and the size of giant dragonflies is very large, so the speed is naturally even better.But it's too ostentatious to fly in the sky like this. If it wasn't for fleeing to the outside of Buzhou Mountain, Shen Xi would never sacrifice this one.

According to Qing Zai's speed when he was first summoned, it would be more than enough to get rid of the horned dragon. However, flying at high speed consumes a lot of spiritual power, and the barrier of Mount Buzhou repels spiritual power from other than dragons—especially those from the Pangu lineage. , making it impossible for Shen Xi to use Gu to replenish the spiritual power of the giant dragonfly.

Moreover, the giant dragonfly is not suitable for long-distance flying. Although it was full before being called out, after flying and fleeing for a while, the speed has dropped somewhat.

Looking back at the distance to the purple horned dragon, it was a little less than before. At this speed, he would be overtaken near the barrier of Buzhou Mountain... Shen Xi shook hands hard, and raised the insect flute again.

With a sharp and shrill flute sound, a little white light exploded from the tail of the giant dragonfly, and it rose against the wind, forming a fine and indistinguishable octagonal net in an instant, with a thorn on each of the eight corners entwined with spider silk. red bee.Under the guidance of Shen Xi's flute sound, the eight red bees pulled the net and opened it silently, quickly moved towards the horned dragon, and then covered their hoods.

The net was extremely sticky and tough, and the spider silk was thin. The horned dragon only stared at Shen Xi and chased it at full speed. Naturally, it didn't pay too much attention to the surrounding things. It was caught off guard, and it bumped into the net, and its tail continued to move forward due to inertia. It was also stuck by the net.

"Look at Chu Qi, a living ouroboros!" Shen Xi said happily as he looked at the horned dragon that was getting further and further away, clapped his hands with a smile.

"..."

Turning his head and glanced at the ceratopsian whose head and tail were stuck and could only spin around in place, Chu Qi decisively looked away.When meeting Miss Shen Er who can't be deduced by common sense at all, the only one who is unlucky is the opponent.

Although the snare traps the horned dragon, Shen Xi knows very well that with the dragon's great strength, it is not difficult to break free from the snare, so after laughing, she stopped being distracted and blew a few flute sounds in succession, concentrating on the manipulation The red bee laid nets one after another around the horned dragon.

The speed of the giant dragonfly was getting slower and slower, but the ceratopsian was also caught and couldn't continue to chase. After subtracting the two items, the distance between the two sides was still getting bigger and bigger.

Seeing that he had crossed the place where he rested last night, and would be able to leave the barrier smoothly in a while, Shen Xi was rejoicing that nothing happened, when a dragon roar full of anger suddenly exploded from a place far behind him, and the vibration fluctuated rapidly. Diverging, after crushing the red bee, he caught up with the giant dragonfly in the blink of an eye.

Blown up by the airflow and thrown high into the sky, Shen Xi felt her body being held tightly by the hard and rough giant claws after a while, and her chest could barely withstand the pressure exerted by the giant claws, but the lungs under the heavy pressure There is an indescribable dull pain in every stretch.Breathing became more and more difficult, she felt that her vision was a bit blurred, and the big and small Gu worms that had already fused with her body were struggling violently in her body, as if she was about to get out of her body.

... Nima, is this the rhythm of being crushed to death...?

Getting closer and closer in the field of vision is the familiar figure of Xuan Jin. Under the dim sky covered by heavy clouds, the light of the cold knife in his hand is particularly eye-catching.

Shen Xi was pinched in one of the horned dragon's front paws, looking down from a high position, Chu Qi clasped the purple scale armor with one hand, and pressed against the dragon's spine, moving swiftly and swiftly, climbing up the dragon's body from an inconceivable angle like a ghost, Then he raised the knife and fell towards the dragon's claw.
