Chapter 37 Protecting the Family
On the third day, Lu Mingchao stopped and continued to inject poison into the insect nest.
A foundation-building monk poured water poison into the insect nest for three days. She believed that there should be no ordinary iron red worms inside.
The iron red worm is a kind of monster with fire attributes. The clouds and mist carrying water-moving spiritual energy have a restraining effect on it, not to mention that the fog is also soaked in the erosion toxins of the Juyunzhu Gu Cup.
In fact, after eight hours of poisoning, there were no insects running out and continuing to inject poisoning into it, just to be cautious.
However, not seeing the insect mother die, this is always a hidden danger.
When she set out in advance, the eldest brother and the seventh brother told her that she must make sure to clean it up.
This is my father's request.
So, she commanded the monks of the family to expand the entrance to the cave.
They were going to find the insect mother, whether it was a living or a corpse.
The earthly monk she brought began to play a role.
His strength is not strong, so he only practices seven or eight levels of Qi. Apart from him, even Lu Mingchao, a foundation-building cultivator, did not use the earth-moving technique, so it is difficult to help too much.
However, they have plenty of time and there is no big threat around them. Although there are occasional monsters in the wild, this is not a wasteland, but in Feiyunzhou, so there is no big problem.
With the continuous excavation of the family monk, the cave was constantly expanded.
The space inside the insect cave is much larger than that outside, and as it is excavated, Lu Mingchao has to find a way to retrieve the toxins that were poured in before, so the whole process is not very fast.
It took them seven days to finally find the mother insect in the cave.
The iron red worm's insect mother is a creature with a second-level strength, but it is not born for fighting. Its more functions are still in fertilizing insect swarms. The body's combat power is very weak and it is inconvenient to move.
When I discovered the insect mother, I was in the depths of the cave. Looking at the insect mother, it seemed that after surviving a fatal threat, I tried to move my body and leave the nest. There were also a large number of iron red worms around it, acting as guards.
Unfortunately, they did not escape. Halfway through the road, the guard iron red worms were already poisoned to death. The mother of insects could not hold on and lost their power to move halfway through.
But after the examination, Lu Mingchao found that although the insect mother could not move at all, her body functions were corroded mist by the poisonous fog, she still had a faint spiritual reaction in her body.
This means that the insect mother has not died.
After all, it is a second-level monster, and its body strength is enough. It will not be completely killed in a few days by simply corroding poisonous fog.
Lu Mingling next to him also noticed this. He quickly raised the magic sword in his hand, intending to kill the mother insect who was already on the verge of death.
But it was stopped by Lu Mingchao.
"Auntie?"
Lu Mingchao is indeed his aunt.
"If I remember correctly, Iron Red Worm requires two kinds of food, one is fresh flesh and blood, and the other is the habit of eating iron. Their body has strong fire poison, and they need to eat iron, so they immerse the fire poison in the iron to eliminate excess fire poison in the body. And these excreted iron can actually be regarded as a precious forging material."
"What you mean is that we are going to bring this mother insect back?"
"Yeah." Lu Ming nodded and said, "If we can save this insect mother, control it, cultivate a new iron red insect swarm, and raise it, the family will have more resource income."
Lu Mingling nodded clearly, then frowned again: "But... this insect mother has been injured so seriously. We have to bring it back all the way. I wonder if it can still be alive when we return to the mountain?"
"Do your best."
After saying that, she released the Yinli Water Cord, and based on the magic trick of water capture, she activated the rope-like magic weapon, and tied up the coma of the insect mother who was already unconscious and took it away.
Five years ago, she used water to capture the spell and brought the horse king of the water spirit horse herd back to Yuyan Mountain. That time, she almost exhausted all her spiritual power and recuperated for a month before recovering.
And this time, the task will be even more arduous.
From here to Yuyan Mountain, there is a distance of thousands of miles. With the ability of a foundation-building cultivator, it takes a day and a night to fly without any burden. Lu Mingchao has not had a good flying sword yet, and she is holding a first-level magic sword, but she still cannot reach this speed.
She had to drag the insect mother and had to bring four Qi training monks, so she had to walk back. Even if she was a monk, it would take several days to return home.
However, she is now different from the past. The improvement of her spiritual roots has enhanced her strength; she has broken through to the fifth level of foundation building, and the spiritual power she can control has also increased a lot; with the second-level magic weapon of the Yinli Water Cable, as a tool, it can greatly reduce her consumption of using the water capture spell.
Under multiple factors, she finally managed to drag the insect mother back. Although she was still very tired, she would not be as miserable as she was dragging the horse king back then. After a few days of rest, she should be able to recover without affecting her cultivation.
The insect mother who was dragged back to the family attracted many people.
Second-level monsters are not common. This is a very rare opportunity to have a long experience, and many people will not miss it.
The insect mother is very large. If nothing unexpected happens, this creature usually stays in the inherent nest for a lifetime. If it is very special, if it is necessary to migrate the nest, there are other insects that open the way to expand the hole and assist the insect mother in moving and transfer. In order to nurture a larger swarm of insects, the insect mother itself cannot be small in its body, so that it can produce a sufficient number of insect eggs in one breath.
This insect mother is the size of a cow and has a strange appearance.
There were many family members who came to observe, including many mortals who had not embarked on the path of cultivation, and they also came to watch the fun.
Wen En and Wei Wen also mingled among them.
"Brother Wen'en, this thing is so terrible." Wei Wen, who is two years younger than Lu Wen'en, has not yet entered the Qi Refining Stage.
The family considers the future and hopes that the two children with the best talent in the literary generation will have more contact and contact each other, and have a good relationship when they are pure when they are young, so they deliberately arranged the two children very close.
After a month of getting along, practicing together, and occasionally playing together when relaxing, the two became familiar with each other.
Hearing his sister's words, Lu Wenen patted her little head comfortably, and then said with some pride: "This was caught by the great grandma himself. I heard from my grandma that this big bug will belong to our family in the future!"
"Is it our family?" Weiwen asked with her head tilted, "Then do we want to protect it?"
"Yes." Lu Wenen said, "We want to protect everything in the family."
