Chapter 2176: Moth!
Half a month passed.
Zhou Yu and his companions forced their way through amidst the siege of various ghost soldiers and ghastly creatures.
One day, after half a month.
They finally arrived at their destination for this journey.
The Earth Yin Valley, where the Nether Spring Essence is hidden!
At this moment, among them, apart from Zhou Yu, Black Python, Mrs. Mu, Shiva, Six Wings, and Ghost Master, the rest of their followers were almost completely lost.
And even the Ghost Mastiff secretly kept by Ghost Master had almost been exhausted.
After arriving at this Earth Yin Valley, Mrs. Mu, Shiva, Six Wings, and Ghost Master gathered together to whisper.
Zhou Yu and Black Python waited aside.
Zhou Yu looked up at the distant Earth Yin Valley, silent.
His eyes flickered with a gloomy hue.
Before coming here, Zhou Yu always thought, with such a long journey, there should be many sudden incidents like the Illusionary Void Array.
As long as he got a tiny chance, he could escape.
However, ever since defeating those three Ant Clan experts, although there were still a lot of troubles along the way,
there wasn’t any crisis that could threaten the four of Mrs. Mu.
Thus, Zhou Yu had no chance to escape at all during the journey.
What frustrated Zhou Yu the most was that ever since the Black Python came out of the shadows, he kept following him,
constantly making small talk with Zhou Yu.
His goal was to watch Zhou Yu closely.
Zhou Yu could be said to have no chance of escaping at all.
At this moment, he gazed into the distance, his mind racing.
From the information he and Black Python chatted about along the way,
the Nether Spring Essence is right here in the Earth Yin Valley.
Zhou Yu was very curious, what exactly is the use of this Nether Spring Essence?
What kind of treasure could it possibly be?
However, Black Python’s lips were sealed tight.
No matter how Zhou Yu hinted, he always avoided the topic.
But the more it was like this, the more Zhou Yu felt that this treasure was not simple.
Now, his heart was also heavy.
After the Ant Clan experts left, Zhou Yu realized,
this bottom of Yellow Springs isn’t some ownerless space at all.
Maybe, the space here used to be masterless, but now, it has long been occupied by the Ant Clan.
In other words, their group had actually intruded on the forbidden land of the Ant Clan.
The Ant Clan is said to be one of the most powerful races in the Heavenly Origin World, with their strength, they would undoubtedly lay down heavy array formation restrictions in the secretive place.
The danger can be imagined with the toes.
However, seeing Mrs. Mu and the others, they seem to have been prepared long ago.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu glanced at Mrs. Mu and the others.
However, just as he looked at those four, they happened to look at him too.
The moment their eyes met, Zhou Yu’s heart tightened.
He saw some malice in the eyes of those four.
However, not all were malicious.
At least, Mrs. Mu seemed very angry with them, scolding them with a cold face.
But that didn’t mean that Mrs. Mu would fully protect him.
At this moment, Zhou Yu once again cast his gaze into the distance.
But in his heart, he was very unsettled.
Just then, Six Wings’ voice suddenly echoed.
"Mr. Zhou, come over here."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately flew to the four of them.
Six Wings looked at Zhou Yu and said lightly:
"Mr. Zhou, there’s something that may require your assistance."
No matter what Zhou Yu was thinking, on the surface, he respectfully said,
"Senior, just give the order."
Six Wings was quite satisfied with Zhou Yu’s attitude.
He smiled slightly and said:
"Go help us handle something, it shouldn’t be too difficult for you."
"However, to do this, you’ll need to use this item."
As he spoke, Six Wings took a jade bottle out of the Storage Ring and tossed it to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu caught it, and with a puzzled look, opened the jade bottle.
At the instant he opened the bottle, a black streak shot out instantly.
Zhou Yu’s expression changed.
"Not good!"
He immediately sensed the danger.
However, it was too late.
The black streak was too close to his forehead to dodge.
In an instant, the black streak pierced into Zhou Yu’s forehead.
Soon after, Zhou Yu became stiff, his eyes gradually losing their luster.
Seeing this, Black Python in the distance shivered all over, a pale expression surfacing on his face.
He instinctively took two steps back.
The look in his eyes toward Zhou Yu was filled with pity.
At this moment, Six Wings looked at the stiff Zhou Yu in front of him and smiled slightly.
Then he raised his hand again, casting a spell.
A black streak floated slowly toward Zhou Yu.
At Zhou Yu’s forehead, it condensed into a black flower mark.
Upon closer inspection, there were many densely packed small insects in that black flower, continuously squirming.
Very horrifying.
After doing all this, Six Wings smiled with satisfaction.
"These moths are Spiritual Insects I accidentally obtained at the bottom of Yellow Springs a millennium ago."
"This insect possesses a very strong power to control and capture souls."
"I spent a millennia exploring the Insect Control Technique to control them."
"Now it seems the effect is even better than I imagined."
Hearing this, Shiva next to him frowned and asked:
"Six Wings, are you sure this item is really effective?"
"This kid is not simple!"
"And there must be no mistakes in this matter."
Six Wings chuckled and said:
"You can rest assured."
"The moths rank within the top thirty on the Hundred Insects List."
"The rarity of this insect is no less than a Divine Beast."
"Not to mention a Divinity Transformation realm, even a Void Refinement realm can’t escape being controlled once this insect enters their brain."
Seeing Six Wings so confident, Shiva and the others nodded their heads.
Then, Shiva looked toward the Earth Yin Valley.
"A thousand years ago, the five of us accidentally trespassed here and discovered the Nether Spring Essence hidden in the Earth Yin Valley."
"Legend has it that the Nether Spring Essence contains the power of the Nether God, and by refining the body with it, one can achieve a divine body, with no obstruction in absorption or circulation."
"Moreover, it can integrate the body entirely into one world, gaining control over one domain."
"If we can truly reach such a realm, we will advance to the Mahayana realm in the shortest time."
"This is an extraordinary opportunity."
"Now, this great opportunity is right in front of us."
"This time, we must not let any mistakes happen again."
With that, Shiva looked at Mrs. Mu.
"So, Mrs. Mu, since Six Wings has already controlled this kid, let’s go with Six Wings’ idea."
"Use this kid to help us solve the last trouble after entering the Earth Yin Valley."
"Mrs. Mu, I also hope you keep your promise."
Hearing this, Mrs. Mu showed a gloomy expression.
They had been arguing for a long time just now.
The reason was that Mrs. Mu disagreed with the three of them using Zhou Yu as bait.
Because she wanted Zhou Yu to help her get another treasure.
But the three strongly opposed.
Finally, they discussed, if Zhou Yu was controlled by Six Wings, Mrs. Mu should obey them.
Conversely, Mrs. Mu could first let Zhou Yu help her fetch the treasure.
Now with this result, Mrs. Mu could only give up the treasure she wanted and comply with everyone’s decision.
Mrs. Mu took a deep breath.
"Alright, I agree."
Hearing this, the three immediately smiled.
"Then let’s proceed according to plan."
"Go!"
The four of them, with Zhou Yu and Black Python, flew toward the Earth Yin Valley...
