But I'm a male fox

Then, without Li Cheng doing anything, the old man returned to his human form. After coughing violently a few times, his complexion recovered.

Cao Yueying came over, looked at the old man's face, and asked in surprise, "Seven-horned Immortal?"

"It's...it's next."

The old Taoist said intermittently: "You two...do you have any pills to replenish spiritual power and heal injuries?"

Li Cheng thought about it for a moment, and felt that this person was injured too badly, that it was impossible to pretend that this person was injured, so he handed out the elixir in the storage bag.

Qijiao Daxian took the elixir, and after a moment of luck, his breath calmed down.

But he is still very weak. He is obviously a fourth-rank immortal cultivator, and the aura he is showing at this moment is probably not as good as that of a fifth-rank immortal.

"Thank you two little friends for your help, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of here..."

"You don't need to be polite, old man."

Cao Yueying helped Qijiao Daxian up, and then asked: "Senior, do you know what happened on the island?"

Seeing the bewildered expression on Qijiao Daxian's face, Li Cheng told all about what he saw and heard after being teleported from the secret realm.

The Qijiao Immortal pondered for a moment, then sighed: "We have really caused a catastrophe..."

"Yes, I know the origin of these bugs. They were indeed cultivated by us. At least, we accelerated the process..."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his beard.

Only then did Li Cheng and Cao Yueying see that on his chin, there were seven strange tentacles, swinging back and forth like the hands of a starfish.

"Senior, this is..."

"This is the reason for everything, and it is also the reason for my dao name Qijiao."

Qijiao Daxian said slowly: "A hundred and fifty years ago, I was the son of a merchant on a nearby island. When I was having fun with two childhood friends, I accidentally found the skills of the immortal family in a relic, and thus embarked on the journey of cultivating immortals." the road."

"Unfortunately, that kung fu has flaws, and we had no one to teach us at that time. When we reached the fourth rank, we became obsessed. Not only could we no longer break through, but we also had foreign objects growing on our faces... This thing was caused by Taoism. What was born from the foundation cannot be removed with magic.”

"In order to solve this problem, a few of us casual cultivators searched for immortals in various parts of the South China Sea together. One time, we unfortunately provoked a strong enemy. When we escaped, we accidentally came to an island that we had never heard of..."

Chapter 230 IX Where Did You Steal This Hollywood Script?

"It was an island shrouded in mist and storm."

Qijiao Daxian's words are full of regret:

"We didn't know the mysteries of this island at the beginning. We just went ashore temporarily to avoid our enemies, and then saw three insect eggs, one broke and one died. Out of curiosity, we took the last intact one. One..."

In the narration of the Qijiao Daxian, Li Cheng and Cao Yueying learned the whole story of the appearance of the insect monster...

At that time, after the rogue cultivators got the eggs, they didn't dare to stay on the island for fear of the enemies chasing them, so they left quickly, evaded all the way, and returned to the cave.

After being stable, they hatched the eggs, and then discovered...

This alien worm monster is quite amazing, it's like farting in bed—Nengwen (smell) Nengwu (cover)!

First, as long as it is not completely dead, the worm demon can quickly absorb the surrounding spiritual power to repair the injury, and the degree of repair is quite perfect, without leaving any hidden dangers, even if it is cursed by magic, it can be eliminated.

Secondly, this worm demon can absorb a variety of spiritual powers with different attributes or even conflicts with each other, and transform them harmoniously in the body, effectively using...

When Li Cheng, who was next to him, heard this, he suddenly felt that this worm looked like himself who had acquired Dugu Zhi's power of life and death, and then built a bowl-shaped foundation... Tsk, what an unpleasant coincidence.

But Qijiao was more excited when he talked about this - in the eyes of casual cultivators, the characteristics of insect monsters might help them solve their own problems.

After all, the reason why they had tentacles on their chins was in the final analysis the disability caused by Dao Ji being polluted by alien spiritual power-if they could transfer the characteristics of the insect monster to themselves, wouldn't they be able to recover?

It's just like the sci-fi horror movie in the previous life, where scientists toss all kinds of creatures, trying to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease...

In short, the casual cultivators concentrated on cultivating this insect monster for a long time afterwards.

Although they don't know what a genetic mutation is, as immortal cultivators, they can still feed medicine.

Later, they discovered that the worm monster had no sex and could reproduce by itself. Although the offspring were much weaker than their ancestors, they were still enough to be used as experimental products, and they became even more unscrupulous.

Over time, they have bred all kinds of insect monsters, such as the one that Li Cheng saw a few days ago that was possessed by others, and those with red spots on their backs.

However, they failed to achieve their goals after all. Whether these insect monsters were used as training tools or alchemy medicines, they could not help them heal their hidden injuries.

Later, they wanted to go back to the island where the eggs were found, looking for more clues, but they couldn't find the location of the island anyway.

During this process, Qijiao Daxian discovered something amiss.

He said bluntly about this: "I always feel that there seems to be an old monster's remnant soul in the body of the worm demon, and its occasional behavior...it really doesn't look like a worm...

It's just that the old man is not sure about this, and several fellow Taoists don't believe me either. "

"Also, Hexagon can't wait..."

Yes, after all kinds of failed attempts, Liujiao Daixian chose a rather primitive path.

Double repair.

Yes, it's double cultivating with an insect and demon who has no form at all, it sounds very boring...

It's actually pretty darn good.

Can't get in, no matter how you think about it, can't you get in?

However, many monks in ancient times did this, and there are also many demon cultists who have this kind of skills.

In short, the hexagon is sitting.

But this kind of double cultivation generally requires the leading party to know the other party's roots. In this regard, Liujiao Daxian obviously has no conditions.

The end result was that he was controlled by that bug—maybe it was parasitism, or it might be seizing his body.

After that things are very simple.

Liujiao secretly modified the direction of cultivating the worm monsters to make the swarm grow stronger. At the same time, he found an opportunity to plot against Bajiao, and then imprisoned Qijiao as he is now, completely controlling Changsheng Island.

Moreover, as Qijiao deduced, the worm demon possesses memories that do not belong to it. With its help, Liujiao Daxian managed to control the secret realm, and by doing so, he overshadowed the other monks who came to the island and created the current monster. situation.

But what is the purpose of it doing this, the Seven Horned Immortal has no way of knowing.

After hearing the cause of the whole incident, Li Cheng felt that...

This is not fairy tale at all.

But fortunately, I am not the mortal protagonist in those thrilling horror stories.

Cao Yueying asked: "Since this monster is so terrifying, senior has studied it for so long, do you know what its weakness is?"

"Weaknesses are out of the question, but according to the old man's observation, it seems that this worm monster cannot cultivate on its own."

The Qijiao Daxian said in a deep voice: "No matter how rampant they are, the most powerful one is just the one that has occupied my fellow Taoist, and its strength is at most four ranks..."

Li Chengxin said: Yes, this is still a fairy world after all.

Immortal cultivation is the foundation of everything!

Low-level bugs can reproduce hundreds of thousands of millions by relying on spirit stones and food, but there is no way to increase their cultivation base exponentially, otherwise they should have been struck by lightning long ago.

But for real masters, no matter how many bugs with low strength, the threat is limited.Otherwise, Li Cheng and Cao Yueying wouldn't be able to run around the ground with the swarm of bugs chasing them.

Therefore, Liujiao, controlled by the insect demon, will use the secret realm to separate everyone.

Because there are also Zheng Conglong, Liu Shishi, and a few fifth grades that Li Cheng doesn't know on this island, well, of course Chen Youxi also counts.These people can't die with only low-level worms, and they must be dealt with one-on-one by the worm monster.

It was conceivable that most of these people were still alive and kicking, which involved the energy of the insect monster, so Li Cheng and Cao Yueying were able to rescue the Qijiao Daxian so easily.

That being so...

Li Cheng said: "Although we still don't know the purpose of the worm monster, if we can gather those masters of the fifth and fourth ranks, it will definitely make us helpless."

"But the secret realm may separate people at any time."

Cao Yueying squinted her eyes and said: "Unless we can get the Yanyuan Secret Realm out of the control of the insect monster...Senior, I know that this secret realm was created by the ancient immortal cultivators, and you can't control it, but if it is destroyed, it should be easy. Some? Do you have any idea?"

"Cough cough."

The Qijiao Daxian hesitated for a long time.

He does know how to destroy a secret realm.

But that method is irreversible. In other words, once it is done, the best sixty peach trees will not have a suitable environment, their quality will drop sharply, and they may even die due to drastic changes in the environment... ...That's all, if you hesitate again, you will lose your life.

Under the oppressive eyes of Li Cheng and Cao Yueying, the Qijiao Daxian compromised.

"volcano."

"The secret place of Yanyuan is maintained by the formations engraved on the bottom of the volcano. Those formations are interlocking and are not easy to destroy... But as long as the volcano erupts, it will not be able to withstand it."

"The ancient immortal cultivator's seal was loosened a long time ago. The volcano should have erupted a long time ago. It's just that the old man and others acted as paper makers and barely maintained it."

"As long as I can enter the crater, I can break the balance and completely dissipate the secret realm."

"Okay, that's it!"

Li Cheng and Cao Yueying helped up the weak Qijiao, returned to the sea, and took the Liuyun Pavilion, which lived in water, land and air, and went straight to the volcano in the middle of the island.

But when approached.

There was a rumble of thunder in the sky.

Everyone came to the surface of the sea and looked at the past, seeing a thundercloud and a black swarm of insects entangled.

At first glance... Leiyun seems to be at a disadvantage.

"Zheng Conglong can't stand it anymore."

..................

Chapter 240 Ha! Snow Mountain Flying Fox!

boom!

A flash of thunder flashed, and Zheng Conglong held his slightly injured right arm and retreated tens of meters before stabilizing his figure.

The Octagonal Immortal appeared in front of him surrounded by insects, and said mockingly, "Captain Zheng, is that all you have?"

Zheng Conglong looked at the colorful poisonous insects around his opponent, and thought:

If you have the ability, you get rid of all the brats around you, let's fight each other!

Of course, he knew that these words were meaningless, so he didn't say it. He just snorted coldly, clenched his fists, and used the ring on his index finger to condense crackling lightning again, and bombarded towards the octagon.

After a few moves between you and me, Zheng Conglong was out of breath, while the Bajiao Daxian, who had a lot of worms, was unscathed - after all, facing any moves, he just had to hide behind the swarm of worms and he would be fine.

Zheng Conglong knew that if he fought hard like this, he would lose.

But he couldn't retreat—he tried twice just now, the first time he was careless when he just got out, he turned a corner and was teleported back, and the second time he was surrounded by insect swarms, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what .

Gotta find another way...

hiss!

With such a distraction, Zheng Conglong was hit by another sword light from the octagonal, fell from the cloud, and smashed the grass into a big mud hole.

Seeing that Bajiao was about to pursue, Li Cheng rushed out from the diagonal stab.

His purpose is very simple, that is to save Zheng Conglong.

There are only a few fourth and fifth ranks on the island, and Zheng Conglong is the strongest among them. If they die, what will they use to confront the insect monster?

Therefore, even if he is only at the sixth rank, he has to rush out at this moment.

As for the task of destroying the secret realm... it can only be done by senior Qijiao, anyway, there is not much distance, and Li Cheng's fight here can also help Qijiao attract some attention.

After Li Cheng appeared, he first entangled the Bajiao Daxian with the Liuying flying sword, then took out the spirit wine in the storage bag, took a big sip, and set up a [-]-star life and death formation on the spot to block the gushing swarm.

"A boy who is overconfident."

The Octagonal Immortal sneered, and stopped for a moment. He took out an agate bead from his bosom, shook it lightly, and a huge ghost hand flew out of it, grabbing towards Li Cheng.

The moment the ghost hand touched the sword formation, Li Cheng felt an irresistible pressure, and couldn't help vomiting blood and retreating.

Seeing that the insect swarm took the opportunity to approach again, he had no time to use any other means, so he took out the jade hairpin that had not been used for a long time, and cast the last spell left by Chen Youxi inside.

I saw a black fire snake hovering out of mid-air, with a terrifying aura, turning countless bugs into ashes.

This move of the little demon girl is really extraordinary.

But it was just so powerful for a moment.

The Octagonal Immortal frowned slightly, and pinched a formula, causing tens of thousands of bugs to flow a black light, buzzing into a ball, and pressing down on Li Cheng's head.
