Chapter 939: Monster fox

Inside the nest of the sword insects.

Senior White gazed at the seventeen tunnels before his eyes and fell deep in thought.

The nest of the invisible sword insects was like a maze, and it was made of several very complicated pa.s.sages. Song Shuhang and the others had no idea which one would lead them to the eggs.

As if that wasn’t enough, there was another problem… the various pa.s.sages were somewhat small, only big enough to let a dog in.

The fact that the nest had a maze-like structure wasn’t a problem. After all, as long as Senior White swept the place with his spirit sense, he could easily find the location of the eggs.

But, as far as crawling into those small pa.s.sages was concerned… Senior White didn’t seem too interested in it.

After pondering for a short moment, Senior White suddenly turned his head around with a serious expression, and said, “Shuhang, do you really want those eggs?”

“?” Song Shuhang was confused.

Senior White, aren’t you the one that suggested looking for the eggs of these invisible sword insects…?

However, Song Shuhang still replied, “Well, if possible, I would like to get some.”

After all, these invisible sword insects were very valuable.

“Good, get behind me in that case,” Senior White said.

Song Shuhang followed Senior White’s instructions and got behind him.

Then, he saw Senior White take out a strange magical treasure. This magical treasure somewhat resembled a drill bit, but there was a circular claw attached to the end.

Senior White lifted his drill-bit-shaped magical treasure, and randomly chose one of the pa.s.sages, starting to drill.

The magical treasure started to spin, and the claw attached to it spun as well. Upon contact, the hole ahead expanded several times, creating a pa.s.sage big enough to allow two people to walk side by side.

Sure enough… Senior White is truly acting strange today, Song Shuhang thought to himself. He had a theory in mind, but he needed to confirm it first.

One year ago, Dugu Bai found this ‘forbidden area’ and discovered that there were some valuable invisible sword insects inside. The cultivation technique he practiced was very special, which enabled him to use a marvelous ocular technique that allowed him to see these invisible sword insects.

These invisible sword insects were very precious, and possessed the bloodline of a spirit beast. If he brought back a few, his teacher would surely be happy, right?

As such, Dugu Bai decided to bring back with him the eggs of the invisible sword insects. To do so, he spent one year preparing a special type of medicinal powder that would make him completely undetectable by these sword insects’ senses after it was applied to his body.

At the same time, he researched the habits of these invisible sword insects, discovering that they would hide in a cave once every three months and start reproducing if no one alarmed them. During this period of time, they would very rarely leave the cave.

The new breeding season of the invisible sword insects just happened to start a few days ago.

The best time to crawl into those narrow pa.s.sages was precisely when the sword insects were hiding in that cave and reproducing. That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about getting injured by the invisible sword insects pa.s.sing through the tunnels.

Anyway, he was depressed because just as he was taking his time in the nest and looking for the safest pa.s.sage to reach the eggs of those invisible sword insects… some b.a.s.t.a.r.ds barged into the forbidden area.

After those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds alarmed the invisible sword insects, the insects quickly whizzed out of the cave they were hiding in.

At that time, Dugu Bai, who was crawling through one of the pa.s.sages, got a scare and almost wet himself.

A crowd of invisible sword insects drilled out of the cave and almost hit him in the face. If he was even a little careless, he would turn into a sieve.

Luckily, Dugu Bai was fast to react, and had a relatively small build.

He quickly dug a hole in the pa.s.sage, and hid himself there, dodging the incoming invisible sword insects.

After evading this calamity, he kept crawling across the nest while being very careful.

But just as he was moving forward, he heard a rumbling sound coming from one of the nearby pa.s.sages.

d.a.m.n, which b.a.s.t.a.r.d was it this time?

Also, this guy was unexpectedly digging a tunnel in the nest of the invisible sword insects—was he tired of living?

If you want to die, go die alone and don’t take me with you!

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Dugu Bai discovered that there was something wrong. Was it only his misconception, or was that rumble getting closer and closer?

Was that person coming toward him?
