On weekdays, there are often monks outside the Xuanyou Grotto. They are called "Insect Hunters". They rely on the Jingshi Insect Fighting Competition to live their lives.

But yesterday, Beijing Camp had blocked the Xuanyou Grotto, and the insect hunters were not allowed to enter. The sky had not yet fully dawned. A large number of cultivators had gathered outside the Xuanyou Grotto. 30,000 people went to the three Tiankeng cave entrances, and the time came together. into the hole.

This level is not as good as before, and everyone knows that there are extremely high risks.

The nuns need to strike a balance between "catching more powerful spirit insects", "getting out of the mysterious cave as soon as possible" to get a higher ranking, and keeping their own lives as much as possible.

This time, Ji Su did not delay. As soon as the hour came, the 30,000 cultivators had already arrived. Ji Su's voice spread throughout the audience by means of self-cultivation: "The second test is a comprehensive assessment, the higher the rank of the captured spirit insects, the faster they come out, and the higher the ranking.

After you come out, someone will pick you up, you will hand over the spirit worms to them, and then wait for everyone to come back, the old man will personally preside over and make a fair ranking!

This level only takes the first thousand people. The old man kindly reminds you that according to the old man’s estimation, no matter how fast the speed is, at least the third-order spirit insects must be caught before there is any hope of being selected.

So, lads, go for it! "

But suddenly a voice below asked: "After the assessment is over, when can we get our spirit worms back?"

Ji Su's heart sank, his face darkened: "This is an assessment presided over by the imperial court, and the captured spirit worms will naturally be owned by the imperial court!"

"Why?" The voice sounded again: "We came to participate in the Dragon and Snake List, and each of us handed in ten spiritual jades. The last court said that they wanted to ensure our safety. As a result, there was such a big accident, and the court did not Compensation for half a Lingyu!

This level can't even guarantee our safety. The spirit worms we have worked so hard to catch are still handed over to you? Don't think that I don't know that the third-order spirit worm can sell at least 12,000 spirit jade in the capital! "

There was a commotion among the 30,000 cultivators. Most of them had not thought about this issue before. Someone reminded them to wake up immediately. The spirit worms caught by 30,000 people are a huge wealth!

Ji Su completely tore his face and asked, "Who is making trouble?!"

Sun Changming came out proudly, and Ji Su saw that his face was darker, and he felt guilty. The first pass was saved by Sun Changming, but the final reward was given by Song Gongquan. He Jisu, as the biggest beneficiary, did not pay a penny.

But the old man has already negotiated the price with the fifth prince!

Ji Su said with a sullen face, "The court has already decided on this matter! Since you have participated in the Dragon and Snake Ranking, all the products in the assessment process will naturally belong to the court. If you are dissatisfied, you can give up this Dragon and Snake Ranking! "

But the registration fee for the ten Lingyu is non-refundable.

As soon as this strong statement came out, the nuns all hesitated and retreated. It is of course distressing to give more than 10,000 Lingyu to the court for nothing, but in comparison, the Dragon and Snake List is obviously more important.

Sun Changming seemed to have no choice but to compromise, but he still asked, "After we have completed the second test of the Dragon and Snake Ranking, the rest of the gains should be ours, right?"

Ji Su is a little puzzled, what are you talking about with this official?

In such a tense second test, everyone is fighting not only for the rank of spirit insects, but also the speed of catching spirit insects. Do you still want to catch a few more to earn extra money? You commander Meng Jiang, you can see these tens of thousands of spiritual jade?

If you want to, so you wasted time and finally got kicked out, then don't blame this official for being ruthless!

Ji Su thought of this, and sneered: "It's yours!"

Sun Changming folded his hands and stepped back: "It's fine if you have the words of an adult."

Sun Changming didn't have that leisurely interest at all, so he brought the impoverished cultivators he temporarily recruited to "fight wit and courage" with Ji Su in the Xuanyou Grotto.

First and foremost, do you want to do business with the Fifth Prince? I stole your business first!

Ji Su immediately announced the start of the second stage of the assessment. Thirty thousand cultivators were divided into three square formations, each entering the Xuanyou Cave through the entrance of a Tiankeng. This time there is no need to move the formation, the tiankeng is extremely huge, and everyone can just jump into it.

The place where it landed is completely different from the external ecology. All kinds of shade-loving plants are covered under the feet, some ferns grow like ten thousand-year-old trees, and various insect sounds are heard from time to time, and some insects are alarmed. Running fast in the grass, it carried vegetation like water waves.

After landing, the cultivators who bought the test questions immediately took out a brief map and looked for the hole leading to the next floor. They made preparations in advance and knew that the top layer had been swept away by the insect hunters many times, and there would be no spirit insects above the third order.

Sun Changming was not in a hurry, Zhang Chunfa quickly leaned over: "Sir."

"Follow me and gather our men at the same time."

"Yes."

Zhang Chunfa immediately sent a signal. He contacted nearly a hundred poor monks, who were not far from each other, and soon gathered together. Sun Changming swept over the crowd and found that the cultivation was not bad. Although one of them was wearing shabby clothes, he was already in the fifth realm. He couldn't help but take a second look.

Zhang Chunfa said in a low voice, "That person's name is Meng Hebei."

Sun Changming nodded slightly and said to everyone, "Follow me, don't fall behind."

Because the gathering took some time, the other cultivators on this floor had almost disappeared, but Sun Changming did not rush to the next floor, but moved his palm slightly, and Yuchan had already grasped the object in the palm of his hand.

After communicating with Zhao Xiaoyao, Yuchan completed the "full engraving", in addition to suppressing, there are many more functions, one of which is the perception of the surrounding Zerg.

Yu Chan's response to things was his greatest confidence in confronting Ji Su head-on in the second test.

Xuanyou Grotto is very strange. The first floor is actually the smallest in area. Sun Changming searched according to the guidance of Yuchan, and led everyone through the dense plants. There are also man-eating monster plants, but he can sense the monks Powerful, one by one shrinking tightly, pretending that I am just an ordinary plant, not daring to show the slightest bit of hideousness.

Someone in the poor family's loose cultivator couldn't help but say: "Sir, this first floor has no worthwhile goals..."

Before Sun Changming could answer, Zhang Chunfa glared fiercely at him: "Shut up, I'm just following your lord, I just suffered so much because I didn't follow your lord last time!"

Although he suppressed the dissent, there were obvious signs of dissatisfaction in the team.

Sun Changming ignored these things and lifted a thickly covered ancient vine, revealing a hole the size of a washbasin behind. A hissing insect sound came out, followed by a dark shadow at the hole, and a dark red like earthworm emerged. Ordinary monsters are more than ten feet long and have dozens of needle whiskers on their tails. The poor monks exclaimed: "The first floor has the third floor!"

This is a genuine third-order spirit worm, and it seems to sense these cultivators. It immediately raises its tail, the needles are taut, flashing a dim light, and the arrows generally point at the cultivators who are close.

The cultivators hurriedly backed away, Sun Changming raised his hand gently, and the third-order spirit worm immediately quieted down.

Sun Changming smiled slightly, took out a special earthenware jar, opened it and buckled it down, a vortex of spiritual light flew out of the earthen jar, the insect was attracted and flew into the air, and its body continued to shrink, and finally received the earthenware jar. middle.

This is the worm's nest that Zhao Xiaoyao taught him to refine. There is a special void inside, which is very suitable for warming the spirit worms.

The other poor monks stared at this scene in a stunned manner: "Tier 3! Just took it away?"

There should be a battle between dragons and tigers. I have never heard of a third-order spirit insect being so docile.

There was a small disturbance in the team for a while, and soon it became quiet again. Most of the poor monks looked at Master Sun differently, and Zhang Chunfa was secretly proud.

But there are also some brain circuits that are quite strange. I wonder if they should be the spirit worms in the Xuanyou Cave, different from other places? It's relatively easy to capture.

Sun Changming seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He turned his head and smiled and said, "Does anyone want to try it?"

Immediately, several people raised their hands.

Sun Changming still smiled and continued to walk with everyone: "Follow me."

The few people who raised their hands, two third realms and one fourth realm. It's not necessarily that he is really dissatisfied with Master Sun, but most of them are really curious in his heart.

Meng Hebei, whom Sun Changming valued, has been silent, and seems to be inconspicuous among the crowd.

Zhang Chunfa was able to speak well. When contacting these poor family cultivators, he only said that everyone would help each other, and he found a "dependency" for everyone. I promise not to humiliate everyone, and to come and go freely, if you feel unhappy, you can leave on the spot.

Afterwards, the identity of the backer was revealed a little, and the cultivators from the poor family also secretly inquired about it, knowing that Sun Changming was indeed from a humble background, so they gathered these people.

As for how much real cohesion this small group has...very weak.

These people only came to the capital and found that it was really difficult to walk alone, so they were temporarily united under the contact of Zhang Chunfa, and everyone still had a very high arrogance in their hearts.

Sun Changming led everyone to find a third-order spirit worm on the first floor! The first floor is recognized as a "wasteland", and the most experienced bug hunters will not waste time here, and they have determined that they are ordinary goods and cannot be sold at a price.

This is a green mantis snake worm. The upper body is like a mantis, and the lower body is like a snake and a centipede. It is more than half a zhang long. It was originally very well-behaved and lowered his head to Sun Changming. The fourth realm cultivator jumped suddenly Come out: "I'll try it!"

He fully embodies the characteristics of poor men: poor!

It turned out that there was no magic weapon, and the aura circulated all over the clothes, and then punched the head of the insect.

The worm made a strange hissing cry, raised its head proudly, and waved the six arms of the upper body, and six icy blades flew out, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply.

The fourth realm is flexible, and while dodging, a spiritual spell is released in the body, and the spiritual light expands like a bubble, protecting it outside the body.

But the worm actually had a lot of means. The six ice blades flew around the fourth realm, but they shattered without hitting the target, releasing a lot of cold energy. The fourth realm froze and felt the spiritual energy in his body Running a little slower. And the needle behind the worm's tail was about to shoot out, and the fourth realm was not sure that it would be able to escape, and hurriedly shouted: "Sir, help-"

Sun Changming raised his hand, there was a force that calmed the worm, and the gleaming tail whiskers fell down, giving up the offensive. Sun Changming released the earthen pot and put the insects in it.

The fourth great state has lingering fears, and he said again and again: "The evil sect in this place is stronger than those third-order monsters in the destruction domain elsewhere!"

Sun Changming asked the other two Third Great Realm, "Do you still want to try it?" The two shook their heads, the Fourth Great Realm was not good enough, and they were almost injured, so don't try to do it.

Sun Changming put his hands behind his back: "Then follow behind this official." The overall strength of the spirit insects on this floor is weak, but the third-order worms that can always hide in this floor are more powerful than those below. At least it was more cunning, otherwise it would have been caught by those bug hunters.

Sun Changming didn't waste any more time, he acted extremely quickly, caught the other two third-tier people on this floor, and then led such people down a winding tunnel to the next floor.

During the whole process, Meng Hebei had been watching from the sidelines, and Sun Changming could not see what was in his mind.

The number and strength of the spiritual insects on the second layer have greatly increased, and this layer is very strange. It is clear that there is no sunlight coming in, but there are some green lights flashing in the void, and even some plants with wide leaves can also Let out the dim light.

Zhang Chunfa reminded everyone: "Be careful when you get here. I heard that the light here has a certain confusing effect on human monks, making people slow to react, but it is very suitable for those bugs."

This statement made some timid cultivators involuntarily move towards Sun Changming, seeking protection. After walking not too far, someone suddenly exclaimed: "Look!"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a dense patch of moss on the side, growing like saw-toothed teeth. There were large pieces of broken corpses, blood dripping everywhere, and some human hands and feet buried in the roots of the moss could be seen faintly!

Zhang Chunfa observed it, and said solemnly: "It should have just died not long ago."

At this moment, there was a sudden explosion of divine art in the distance, accompanied by several shouts. Sun Changming immediately quickened his pace, and everyone followed closely behind, passing through the vegetation for more than half a mile. In front of him, there was a long grass like a dense beard, rolling and surging like water waves.

There is a corpse floating on this "water wave"!

The tops of the long grass were lit up with stars, which were originally light green, but after the corpse "drifted" over, the long grass stabbed into the corpse frantically. When the corpse floated past, the light green light turned blood red!

After floating back and forth in this way, the corpse shrank a few times and turned into a mummified corpse.

Next to the long beards and the grass, there were three cultivators surrounded by a strange insect. More than a dozen slender and sharp insect feet that were seven to eight feet long and like bamboo knots stabbed them from all directions.

The three cultivators are also the leaders of the younger generation. The three of them joined forces to form a set of formations. In their four directions, east, west, north and south, they condense the guardianship of the four elephants.

The spear-like worm foot stabs down, and there must be an aura brand flying out of a spirit deity, blocking the insect foot, the two collide with a bang, the aura brand explodes and the firefly splashes, and the insect foot is also bounced. go out.

But the three of them tried their best to protect themselves, but the worm was able to do it with ease, the body was still hiding under the ground, but the long worm feet were stretched out, and on these worm feet, a magical power was added from time to time!

A worm's foot was suddenly covered with a layer of bright gold, and its penetrating power for any defense suddenly increased. The explosion of an aura brand could not be stopped, and the worm's foot almost stabbed into the eyes of one of the cultivators. Fortunately, another Spirit Venerable guardian flew out a second Spiritual Light Brand before blocking it out.

Some insect feet will suddenly become heavier, and when they land on the imprint of the spiritual light, they will suddenly release three layers of shock waves. The three people under the protection of the four-symptom spirit formation are also disturbed by the shock waves, and they can hardly maintain the formation. .

Fortunately, with these powerful magical powers, the bugs can't be released at will, and it takes a long time after they are used, otherwise the three of them would have long since become corpses floating on the long grass and water waves, and they won't wait for Sun Changming to arrive.

Zhang Chunfa stared blankly: "What kind of bug is this, it's so powerful, I'm afraid it's a fourth-order..."

Meng Hebei, who had always kept a low profile and said nothing, suddenly used a magical technique after seeing the three of them. In one step, he crossed a distance of several dozen meters and appeared beside the insect. He lifted a seemingly ordinary handle from behind his waist. The ordinary wood chopping axe slammed into a long worm's foot.

A dark red thunderbolt shot out with a click under the axe blade!

Zhang Chunfa was also taken aback: "This guy is the fifth realm?!" Only Sun Changming could see through Menghebei's cultivation.

The worm seemed to know how powerful it was. The ground suddenly split into countless cracks, and more stick insect feet protruded from it. A dozen of them were twisted into a larger one, and they were whipped down like a whip, and they fought with Menghebei recklessly.

The thunder and lightning exploded, the insect feet scattered and retreated, Menghei did not move at all, but the other insects followed and beat him again, Menghei responded calmly, and said to the three people: "Gu's brothers, seven years ago, you were hunting in Qiushuang Mountain. Beast, only one third-order monster was taken away, and there were two second-order monsters that you disliked and discarded at will. In the end, I picked it up. These two second-order monsters helped me cross the path of cultivation that winter. One off.

Although you have no intention of giving grace, I have accepted the benefit. By saving you from this predicament, I have repaid the kindness of the day! "

While he was talking, he turned the wood-cutting axe around, and actually took over all the worm feet that attacked the Gu brothers, and he fought against nearly a hundred worm feet alone!

The three Gu brothers retreated in embarrassment and couldn't help but sigh: "Our brothers didn't know about this matter, but we didn't want to save our brother's life today. There are also such arrogant and loyal heroes in the loose cultivation of the poor family!"

They saw Sun Changming again~lightnovelpub.net~ and hurried over to greet them. During the first test, Sun Changming also dragged them out of the valley of short-lived.

Menghebei fought that weird bug with one axe and one axe. It turned out to be thunderous, aura like a gust of wind, and faintly gained the upper hand.

With his hands behind his back, Sun Changming nodded and said, "Okay, your favor has been repaid, so don't waste time." As soon as he raised his hand, the nearly 100 bamboo worms suddenly fell silently, all of them. After retracting to the ground, a dirt bag bulged on the ground in the distance, and a huge worm like a dead branch emerged from it. Sun Changming dropped the earthen pot and put it in.

Menghebei was holding up the wood chopping axe high, condensing a thunder and lightning, but the opponent was gone...

He lowered his head silently, put away the axe, and his face was almost unstoppable: what about my opponent? so easy? Take it away? You... impolite!

But he didn't say a word more, don't have to say it. Menghebei is confident to defeat this bug, but it will take at least 30 rounds, but such a formidable enemy is extremely well-behaved in the hands of others - how can you speak out against such a master Sun?
