Chapter 427: Chapter 419 Battle with the Mirage Insect_1
“Original body?”
The intelligence of the Black Spider Gu was limited, and it clearly couldn’t understand such a complex term.
“The original body refers to the physical body of the insect. What you see now, that black aura and the huge insect body within it, is probably just an image, and not its actual body,”
Qin Niu patiently explained to it.
The Mirage Insect belonged to the legendary category of rare insects, much more uncommon than ordinary Gu.
Encountering a Mirage Insect, which might have reached the level of a demon-level creature, sent Qin Niu’s heart racing with excitement, eager to seize this opportunity.
Despite already possessing a large collection of rare insects including the War Demon Ant, Gold Devouring Ant, Green Silk Worm, Green Demon Bee, and Black Spider Gu, cultivating each insect was extremely difficult.
Even with the auspicious boon of the Ancient Banyan Tree, he still hadn’t managed to cultivate a demon-level insect.
Not to mention a demon-level insect, he didn’t even have a half-demon level one.
One would need to reach at least Level Nine to be considered a half-demon.
Among the insect pets he currently owned, the highest level was only Grade Eight. That was the Dark Gold Shadow Fire Bee he had newly subdued.
It just so happened to be a male bee with almost no combat power.
The reason why the Mirage Insect stirred Qin Niu so much, besides its high level, was its rarity.
It was capable of using its insect shadow to fight while its original body stayed hidden in the shadows, an ability not inferior to the Shadow Fire Bee’s super mirage.
“Master, I think I’m about to level up! The poison here is of very high quality, and it’s helping me a lot!”
“All right, focus on your advancement. There’s no rush to find the original body of the Mirage Insect,”
Qin Niu was thrilled to hear that the Black Spider Gu was benefiting so much from the Valley of Wronged Spirits’ poison and was on the verge of levelling up.
The Black Spider Gu was very important to him.
With this Gu for protection, he was almost immune to all poisons.
It was already so powerful at Grade Six, and levelling up to Grade Seven would mean it was truly entering the ranks of high-level pets.
It was just like the personal attendants of the Black Tiger Gang Leader; the lowest cultivation level among them had to reach the Innate Realm.
The rank of an insect was directly linked to its power.
Grade Three was a watershed, and so was Grade Seven.
In the eyes of formidable Insect Masters, insects below Grade Seven were weak and not worth displaying.
Unless it was a rare insect like the Green Demon Bee, even a War Demon Ant below Grade Seven was not considered presentable.
Because to become a true powerhouse, one must at least reach the Spirit Qi Realm.
Insects below Grade Seven posed little threat in the face of a Spirit Qi Realm expert.
Qin Niu’s War Demon Ant may have been Grade Six, capable of easily defeating Grade Seven insects, but it could be instantly killed by a Spirit Qi Realm expert in a direct confrontation.
Moreover, with a Spirit Qi Realm expert on guard, all of its attacks would likely fail to harm the opponent.
But if it could advance another level, it would be a different story altogether.
It would begin to possess the strength to fight against a Spirit Qi Realm expert.
Both its survivability and offensive capabilities would see a significant increase.
Take for instance the Fire Bee Queen that Qin Niu had subdued. It was currently at Grade Seven but could challenge Qin Niu, an Innate Realm expert, with its super mirage. Without the help of his numerous pets, Qin Niu would have been killed instantly by it.
That was the power of a Grade Seven insect.
Of course, the Shadow Fire Bee ranked quite high among the rare insects.
The Shadow Fire Bee was only slightly inferior to the Green Demon Bee.
