Chapter 2010 Moon-Gazing Mother-Child Moth
Fengxi was not very satisfied.
Because the Insect King cannot be released at this time, it can only be listened to through divine sense.
This effect is much worse!
Not only does it fail to induce sleep, but it also makes you more alert the more you listen.
Fengxi interrupted the Insect King:
“You’ve been with me for so long, why are you still singing insect songs?”
"Can't you sing a human song? Translate it and sing it again!"
Insect King: "...Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
"Master, you forced me to do this! Well then, I'll sing, listen carefully!"
Fengxi said impatiently, "Stop talking so much nonsense and start singing!"
I, a young insect, am eighteen years old, longing day and night for my mate, hoping to lay a nest of baby crickets next year...
Feng Xi: "...Shut up!"
Insect language is better; at least it's subtle.
The insect king was secretly pleased. It sang like that on purpose so that its unscrupulous owner wouldn't always make it sing lullabies!
Even the mighty insect king has been reduced to singing a little tune!
After Fengxi dismissed the Insect King, he thought to himself, "This insect is just an insect. Even the Insect King only thinks about laying eggs!"
As she was thinking, she suddenly noticed that the messy strokes on the ceiling of the cave looked somewhat like the character "虫" (insect), only they were distorted and intertwined, which was why she hadn't noticed them before.
Looking at it this way, besides the character for "insect", it seems there is also the character for "person".
Human? Insect? What does that mean?
Is this hinting at the origins of the Ghost Guard?
Thinking of the cocoon the shadow guard mentioned, and then of how the ghost guard hopped around after basking in the moonlight, she inexplicably thought of the Insect King…
The Insect Queen's special skills, besides singing, are invisibility. It once deliberately hid its insect eggs inside the divine stone, intending to scheme against her, but she discovered it.
Since insect eggs can be hidden inside divine stones, they can naturally also be placed inside a cultivator's body.
The ability of ghost guards to hide in the shadows might originate from insect eggs or larvae inside their bodies...
To verify her suspicions, Fengxi transferred the ghost guard's corpse into the Qiankun Banner and had the prisoners in the Dark Prison perform an autopsy on it.
The results came soon.
The prisoners found the corpses of two kinds of demon insect larvae inside the ghost guard's body, one resembling a katydid and the other resembling a moth.
The corpses of both types of demonic insects were incomplete, seemingly caused by them gnawing at each other.
The Ghost Guard's dantian and meridians were completely shattered, which was probably related to the battle between the two demonic insects.
Fengxi threw the two types of larval corpses into the spirit beast bag for the Insect King to identify.
The Insect King was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears:
"Who the hell killed my child? Poor thing, I don't even remember giving birth to it..."
Feng Xi: "..."
Your entire nest of eggs was wiped out by the click beetles, so how could you possibly have any offspring?!
Besides, even if they existed, they couldn't possibly have come all the way to the Heavenly Continent.
However, one thing is certain: one of the two types of demonic insects is a phantom insect. What about the other one?
At this moment, Commander Liu, the know-it-all, said:
"It is said that there is a kind of moon-gazing mother-and-child moth in the Illusionary Ruins Sea. As long as the mother moth is controlled, all the hosts parasitized by the daughter moths can be controlled."
After being parasitized by a moth, the host's consciousness is controlled by the moth, completely losing all emotions and desires, and becoming a puppet.
This kind of demonic moth fears strong light and only likes moonlight, which matches the habits of the Ghost Guard.
At this point, he paused:
"Being parasitized by two kinds of demonic insects, the suffering of these ghost guards is unimaginable. No wonder those shadow guards said that a batch of them would die every now and then."
The current leader of the Heavenly Alliance is far too ruthless and unworthy of his position!
Before Feng Xi could speak, Xue Shi Huan sneered:
"How dare you say that? You've done just as many bad things in the past! You're like a crow landing on a pig, only seeing the black in others and not seeing your own!"
Commander Liu: @#￥%￥#￥
Although Fengxi applauded Xue Shihuan in her heart, she coughed twice on the surface:
"Grandpa, Master has reformed now, so please don't bring up the old grievances."
Let's think of a way to rescue the Ghost Guard!
Blood Devourer sneered:
"You're so kind-hearted, but didn't you hear that old thief Liu say these Ghost Guards have become puppets? What's the use of saving them?!"
It would be better to let the giant cricket incite its kind to die!
Their death is a relief for them, and you've indirectly helped them!
“Grandpa, I think they still have their own consciousness. The messy strokes on the cave ceiling are evidence of that.”
Furthermore, my help to them is not without purpose. If I can get the Ghost Guards to work for me, they can play a crucial role.
Therefore, whether out of moral obligation or personal motives, I should try to save them.
Blood Devourer snorted coldly:
"You have a whole repertoire of high-sounding principles, but these ghost guards are parasitized by demonic insects and may have lost their humanity. I'm afraid you'll end up getting yourself into trouble instead of saving them!"
Fengxi knew that Xue Shihuan was doing it for her own good, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Commander Liu greatly approved of Fengxi's approach; if they could subdue the Ghost Guards, it would be very helpful for their next plan.
“Little Creek, the larvae of those phantom insects are easy to deal with; the insect queen should be able to control them. The difficult ones are the juvenile moths.”
Unless the mother moth can be found, it is very difficult to control them.
The mother moth is either in the hands of the Shadow Lord of the Shadow Guard Camp or the Alliance Leader; neither of them are people you can afford to offend right now.
After hearing Commander Liu's words, the Insect King was speechless.
You old Liu think too highly of me, but I'm not even sure myself!
Although they are larvae of the same kind, they are not my children after all. Can they obey my commands?
Just as it was lost in thought, the wooden sword suddenly said in a cheeky tone:
"Big-bellied grasshopper, you said you're the only phantom bug in the Nine Nether Continent, how did you get pregnant?"
Could it be that the child's father is a grasshopper or a cricket or something?
You're quite compassionate!
Insect Emperor: @%#￥@#%
