80: Chapter 080: Alien Insect!
Under Wen Tingguang’s persuasion, Yue Yunlan finally refrained from acting rashly and returned to the Shuyi Pavilion to quietly await the results with her mother.
Wen Tingguang, seeing Yue Yunlan’s happy demeanor, didn’t dare tell her that Ling Feng only had a fifty percent chance of success.
He could only silently hope in his heart that Ling Feng would be successful.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the third day.
In the resting room of Yue Zhonglian on the second floor of the water pavilion,
“It’s the third day!”
Ling Feng slowly rose from the cushion and took a deep breath.
The most critical moment had arrived!
In the past two days, Ling Feng had completed the Sealing Soul and Sealing Essence for Yue Zhonglian.
Today, if he could seal Yue Zhonglian’s Primordial Spirit, he would be able to use his Eye of Plunder to “catch” the Alien Insect hidden inside Yue Zhonglian’s body.
That Alien Insect seemed formless and intangible, capable of transforming into Primordial Qi, and illusory as if a soul.
Ordinary methods, even if they cut open Yue Zhonglian, would not be able to extract it.
Only his Eye of Plunder, once it locked onto the Qi Mechanism of that Alien Insect, would make the insect absolutely unable to escape.
Although Ling Feng had only deployed the Eye of Plunder once, he knew deeply of its terror.
Supporting the body on the bed that was akin to a living dead, Ling Feng sat cross-legged in front of Yue Zhonglian.
At this moment, Yue Zhonglian’s upper body was already filled with rows of Golden Needles, resembling a hedgehog.
Once Ling Feng completed the Sealing Spirit Veins Array, Yue Zhonglian would enter a temporary state of fake death.
Only in this state, where the Eye of Plunder could not sense Yue Zhonglian’s vitality, could it precisely lock onto the vitality of the Alien Insect to capture it.
This was the only solution Ling Feng could think of.
Although risky, it was also the best method.
Otherwise, even if he replenished Yue Zhonglian’s Vitality Map in full, it would only give more vitality to that Alien Insect.
“Dan Zhong!
Ju Que!
Ju Que!
Shen Que!
Qi Sea!
Guan Yuan!…”
Ling Feng drove the Golden Needles directly into the various critical acupoints of Yue Zhonglian, and even though Yue Zhonglian was already in a living dead state, his face still showed a very painful expression.
“The last needle, Shenting!”
Ling Feng held a Golden Needle between two fingers, directly piercing into the Shenting Acupoint on Yue Zhonglian’s forehead.
In an instant, Yue Zhonglian’s breathing, heartbeat, and pulse all stopped.
His body rapidly cooled, already entering a fake death state, devoid of any semblance of life.
“Now is the time!”
Ling Feng took a deep breath, stirring the blood Qi that lingered nonstop in the Dan Tian Energy Sea—the key to activating the Eye of Plunder.
As the blood Qi gradually surged, Ling Feng felt his head swell and his forehead seemed to be fiercely torn open.
A blood-red sphere appeared, looking like a crimson eye, embedded into Ling Feng’s forehead!
This was Ling Feng’s third fake eye, the Eye of Plunder.
Suppressing the bloodthirsty impulse inside his heart, Ling Feng’s gaze turned towards Yue Zhonglian’s falsely dead body.
“Bloodthirst!
Plunder!”
Ling Feng let out a low roar, and the Void in front of him tore open, extending a Void Demon Hand directly into Yue Zhonglian’s body from above his head.
Everything happened as Ling Feng had anticipated—the Void Demon Hand did not sense Yue Zhonglian’s vitality, but instead discovered another life form hidden inside Yue Zhonglian’s body.
The Void Demon Hand, shining with a faint light, enveloped Yue Zhonglian’s entire body, leaving the Alien Insect with nowhere to hide.
Time ticked away slowly, and beads of sweat formed on Ling Feng’s forehead.
The Alien Insect was actually able to evade the lock of the Void Demon Hand, escaping repeatedly.
Dizziness washed over Ling Feng’s mind in waves; he was quickly losing the ability to sustain the Eye of Plunder.
Fortunately, just as Ling Feng was about to collapse, a strange “squeak” sound emitted from within Yue Zhonglian’s body.
The Void Demon Hand clenched the Alien Insect, ready to mercilessly devour it.
However, just as the Void Demon Hand was about to extract the Alien Insect from Yue Zhonglian’s body, Ling Feng realized his True Qi had been completely exhausted, no longer sufficient to maintain the Eye of Plunder.
The Void Rift rapidly closed, the Void Demon Hand retreated back into the void, and the Alien Insect, miraculously escaping death, survived the ordeal.
The Alien Insect fell onto the bed, flipped over, and tried to flee.
Ling Feng’s eyes and hands were swift as he directly drove a needle through it, pinning it firmly to the bed.
“Squeak squeak…”
The alien insect let out a string of strange noises, and in Ling Feng’s mind, a child-like voice pleading for mercy unexpectedly appeared.
“Let me go…
let me go!
Please, I beg you!”
Ling Feng’s eyelid twitched, disbelieving as he watched the ever-struggling alien insect.
This alien insect was about the size of a thumb, its body resembling purple crystal, clear and sparkling.
It had a thick carapace on its back and six legs in total, with the front limbs being a pair of larger pincers, somewhat resembling a scorpion.
Indeed, it was an unheard-of exotic species!
“Are you the one talking?”
Ling Feng stared at the alien insect, unable to help but ask.
“It’s me, it’s me, yes, it’s me!
Let me go, please, I beg you!”
The alien insect twisted its body, trying to break free from the Golden Needle, and the “squeak squeak” sound had since transformed into human language, surfacing in Ling Feng’s mind.
“What exactly are you?” Ling Feng pinched the Golden Needle and brought the alien insect close to his face.
Then, he actually saw that this tiny alien insect had a face that was very human-like, and it even looked a little bit cute!
“I don’t know what I am, I only know that since I was born, I’ve been sleeping all the time.” The voice of the alien insect was very young, even a bit babyish, easily softening one’s heart and making it difficult to kill the creature.
If someone else saw Ling Feng talking to himself while holding an insect, they would probably think he was insane.
“Why then did you harm this man?” Ling Feng pointed at Yue Zhonglian, who had fainted beside him, and asked coldly.
“Because I was hungry!”
The alien insect blinked its eyes, looking pitifully at Ling Feng, “I was sleeping soundly, and it was this guy who woke me up with his noise!
So I jumped on him, intending to bite him, but somehow I ended up inside his body.
I tried to get out but I couldn’t, and when I got hungry, of course, I needed to eat.”
“Hungry, needing to eat…” Ling Feng’s mouth twitched violently.
The food this alien insect consumed was human vitality!
Put in a more common way, it was directly devouring one’s lifespan!
“How were you able to communicate with me?”
“I don’t know either, it just happened when I got anxious.”
“Just happened when you got anxious…”
Ling Feng incredulously stared at the little insect, and the words “gifted with exceptional talent” emerged in his mind.
This little fellow likely had quite a background!
“Sorry, since you harmed a human, I have no choice but to eliminate you.”
Ling Feng took a deep breath, although what he was seeing was utterly astounding, he soon calmed down.
After all, his own Shura’s Eye and Eye of Plunder were even more incredible than this alien insect.
“Damn, man, don’t you have any compassion?
I’m still a child!” the alien insect cried loudly, “You’re bullying me, you meanie!”
Ling Feng’s forehead darkened, this little bug sure knew how to play the victim first!
Wait, it’s not even human to begin with!
“No, I can’t let you go, or you will harm others again!”
Ling Feng’s expression grew stern; in fact, he had already decided not to kill the alien insect, but instead was thinking of making this talented creature his own.
Within the Source Stealing Blood Pearl, an abundance of demon beast essence was contained, which he couldn’t utilize directly, but this little fellow was essentially still a demon beast.
Since the Source Stealing Blood Pearl could transform an ordinary demon like the Red-tailed Fox into a member of the Demon Clan, then it surely could cultivate this alien insect as well.
With its spiritual nature and heaven-defying abilities, it would definitely become a great asset for him in the future.
However, before that, it was much safer to first trick it into becoming his own Spirit Pet.
What do you think?
