Chapter 172 (1/2)

Originally, Chu Yunsheng wanted to try his luck and find a tube inside the tomb that might be able to lead him deep into the swarm, but he did not expect that he would encounter one golden-sh.e.l.led insect straightaway, and it was the one that just came out of its “coc.o.o.n”.

There were several pre-conditions to use the monster seal talisman, if he wanted to capture the monster successfully. The first one was that he had to use it when the monster was at its weakest status. It was the reason why he often used it at the time when the monster was dying.

He did not know whether this one was at its weakest status or not, but he was finally able to encounter one, so there was no way he would give it up without even trying. If he did fail, he would also be able to gain some valuable information as well.

Slowly taking out a monster seal talisman from the storage talisman, he was ready to cast it out.

The talisman had already been modified by him. It would no longer s.h.i.+ne the bright light when it was activated.

However, if Yuan Qi fluctuated inside the tomb way too long, it would also alert the insects as well. So he had to do it as quickly as possible.

Half of the golden-sh.e.l.led insect’s body was still inside the deflated meatball when the dim light of the monster seal talisman was cast onto it.

As if it knew that it was in a dangerous situation, it instantly started to struggle its huge body very hard, and attempted to fight back.

Although it was different than sealing a dying monster, the talisman still worked. It meant that this golden-sh.e.l.led insect was very weak at the moment. However, compared to a dying monster, sealing this live one cost him much more Yuan Qi. Within less than three seconds, it almost consumed him two-third of his total Yuan Qi, and it was still rapidly decreasing.

If he could not seal the monster before he was exhausted with his energy, he would have huge trouble; the monster would be free from the talisman’s control and it would alert other insects.

He had absorption talismans, but with Yuan Tian stage two’s strength, he could not use Yuan Qi and then absorb Yuan Qi at the same time. He had to rely on the last ⅓ of Yuan Qi and hoped that the golden-sh.e.l.led insect would be exhausted soon.

A man and an insect both were struggling and both of them did not want to give up. Other meatb.a.l.l.s around them also squirmed from time to time, it made Chu Yunsheng even more nervous.

Time quickly pa.s.sed. When Chu Yunsheng’s energy was almost empty, the new golden-sh.e.l.led insect finally stopped struggling.

After a quiet whoosh sound, the golden-sh.e.l.led inset was shrunken, and flew towards the monster seal talisman.

It was at this moment, an accident happened!

When the talisman pulled the golden-sh.e.l.led insect out, it also broke the two tubes that were attached to it. One of the tubes burst out a golden coloured liquid, the other tube burst out a red coloured liquid. Some of those liquids were sucked into talisman with the golden-sh.e.l.led insect, but some of them were splattered over Chu Yunsheng’s armour.

The liquid splatters that had been sucked into the monster seal talisman were immediately thrown out of the talisman, and went into the gaps between the armour. Soon, an acute burning sensation was quickly spread all over his body.

Chu Yunsheng was shocked. He instinctively thought that he had been poisoned. A sudden panic caused him to quickly turn around and run into the tube that he used to come in.

Meanwhile, the internal wall of the tomb suddenly started to squirm violently. Then a huge tube shot out from deep inside the tomb and connected the tube that Chu Yunsheng used to come in. Luckily, Chu Yunsheng had already gotten into the tube and he was on the way out.

“Puff!”

A gush of red slimy liquid burst out from deep inside the tomb, Chu Yunsheng and little tiger were flushed out by the slimy liquid.

As soon as he got out, he heard many red-sh.e.l.led insects in the swarm screeching loudly while running towards the crater quickly.

‘They must have noticed me!’ Chu Yunsheng thought.

He barely had any Yuan Qi left, so he did not dare to stay any longer. He immediately started to run away with the little tiger.

There were many craters they could use to hide near the riverside. The insects did not chase to the riverside; they only searched the area near the tube. After they did not find anything, they all returned back to the swarm.

Chu Yunsheng also did not dare to run too far, because he was scared that it would increase the speed of the poison spreading across his body. After hiding into a crater that was almost two men’s deep, he quickly took out an alexipharmic talisman.
