C465 Secret of the Insect Race
C465 Secret of the Insect Race
After this type of insect died, its body would immediately explode. The body fluid that splashed in all directions was extremely corrosive, and even the yellow sand would be completely corroded.
"Boss, what kind of treasure is this?"
Jia Houwei thought that it was some kind of treasure, and imitated Wang Hao's actions. He used his hand to touch the black substance, but in the end, a layer of flesh was corroded from his finger, and he grimaced in pain.
"Damn! What the hell is this?!"
He was not like Wang Hao, who had the Hornless Dragon Bloodline that could heal quickly. He could only take out a bottle of medicine from the Essence Ring and apply it on his wound.
Wang Hao carefully observed the liquid that contained the black substance. With his Artifact Refining Technique level, he could determine the time when this container was made - 11,000 years ago.
"There is such an ancient Profound Artifact here. Could it be that a human warrior stepped into this place 11,000 years ago?"
Wang Hao put the container back to its original place and continued to go deeper. Soon, he had a new discovery.
In the limestone cave, Profound Artifact fragments of various sizes were scattered everywhere. Without exception, they were all bottles and jars.
Some of these bottles and jars were empty, while others were like the previous containers. They contained bug bodily fluids that had completely dried up and weathered.
Jia Houwei complained, "I thought I had a fortuitous encounter, but why are they all junk?"
Wang Hao said in a deep voice, "These are not junk. These were very impressive things from eleven thousand years ago."
Jia Houwei asked doubtfully, "How amazing is it? Although the quality of these containers was not low, other than holding some strange things, what else could they do? "
Wang Hao's expression was solemn, "I suspect that the bugs in this mystic realm were born from this cave!"
"It can't be!" Jia Houwei looked at the bottle in Wang Hao's hand, his expression shocked, "Boss, you mean to say that those terrifying insects were artificially bred?"
"It is very likely! But I need more evidence to verify it."
The two of them went deeper. This time, they went all the way to the deepest part of the secret cave.
In the depths of the secret cave, there was a stone table. On the stone table, there was a round-shaped container. In the container, there were three stones that looked like bird eggs.
Wang Hao picked up one of the stones. With a light tap of his finger, the outer shell of the stone was shattered.
"Hiss!"
Jia Houwei, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but take a deep breath. He could clearly see that after the shell of the stone shattered, a petrifying bug was revealed.
This bug was very small, as if it had just been born.
Jia Houwei's voice trembled slightly, "Boss, could this be..."
"That's right. These three rocks are the eggs of the petrification. It's very likely that they are the first generation of bugs."
Wang Hao sighed. His guess was correct. The bugs in the secret realm were all artificially bred 11,000 years ago.
"Who exactly is doing this? Could it be an evil cultivator? No! Evil cultivators only appeared after the Devil Thing was sealed in the abyss for thousands of years..."
Wang Hao frowned and thought for a long time, but he still could not think of any ideas.
"Boss, there is a notebook there!"
Wang Hao looked in the direction where Jia Houwei was pointing. Sure enough, in the corner of the stone table, there was a very old notebook. The notebook was covered with dust, and Wang Hao did not notice it before.
He picked up the notebook and blew away the dust on the surface of the notebook. There was a line of very generous handwriting on the surface of the notebook.
"Secret realm record?"
Wang Hao opened the notebook. There were hundreds of diaries in it.
The first one contained a sense of urgency.
"The Devil Clan has already occupied half of the continent. Although the humans and demons have stopped fighting, the internal conflicts that have been going on for a long time have caused the vitality of both races to be greatly damaged. Perhaps, there isn't much time left for the humans!"
"This is the second day after I entered the secret realm. I have spent all of the Yuan energy of ten experts to open the secret realm. I must cherish this opportunity and complete the mission as soon as possible!"
"Today is the third day after I stepped into the secret realm. I still don't have the slightest idea. Damn it, what can I do to stop the frenzied Devil Thing?"
...
"Today is the eighteenth day since I stepped into the secret realm. I still have no idea what to do. I am proficient in Talisman, artifact forging, and alchemy. I am known as the smartest scholar in the world. Now that I think about it, this title is really full of sarcasm! "
"Today is the 32nd day since I stepped into the secret realm, thank the gods. I have finally thought of a way to deal with the Devil Thing. My previous ideas were all wrong. No matter how strong the Profound Artifact and the array formation were, it was impossible to produce them on a large scale. Otherwise, how could there be a chance for the Devil Thing to show off its might after refining ten thousand Garuda?
In order to deal with the Devil Thing, one must cultivate a race that was even more ferocious than the Devil Thing. This race must be strong individually, and their reproductive ability must be extremely strong. I feel that the Insect race is the most suitable to meet this requirement! "
"Today is the fifty-first day I stepped into the mystic realm. The first batch of eggs has already been cultivated. Luckily, before I entered the mystic realm, I brought along a rich amount of biological samples. I fused several types of powerful insects together, hoping to test them out for the first time. That would bring me good news. "
"Today is the fifty-third day since I entered the secret realm. The eggs have hatched. An insect that I have never seen before has been born, although it is only the size of a palm. Perhaps... I can really succeed!"
"Today is the 67th day since I stepped into the mystic realm. Damn it! The bug is dead. The reason is unknown. It must be that I made a mistake somewhere!"
"Today is the 113th day I stepped into the mystic realm. The 16th experiment failed once again. The growth of the new bug is too slow. This is not what I want..."
"Today is the 176th day I entered the mystic realm. The battle situation outside the mystic realm is coming. The alliance of humans and demons has slightly gained the upper hand. This is good news, but I can't let my guard down. One must know that the Seven Devil Kings has yet to make their move! "
...
Wang Hao flipped through the notes page by page. More than three hundred pages in a row were detailed experimental records. All the way until the 477th page, the words recorded became sloppy.
"Today is the 477th day of my entry into the secret realm. This is bad! This is bad! This is bad! The Seven Devil Kings had finally made their move. The supreme experts that humans and demons were proud of couldn't even withstand a single blow. Humans are in imminent danger! "
" Today is the 500th day since I stepped into the secret realm. The news of my defeat has been sent to the secret realm one after another. Time is too short. I have to speed up my experiment! "
"Today is the 555th day since I stepped into the secret realm. Thank you, gods. The Seven Devil Kings had been defeated. At least the humans had a chance to catch their breath. The experiment is about to succeed. The insects that are being nurtured now... Whether it is the breeding speed, growth speed, or individual strength, they are all very satisfying to me. There is only one thing that I have yet to achieve, which is how to control these insects. I don't want to see these insects bite our compatriots."
"Today is the 716th day since I entered the secret realm, the army of human beings and demons. Another failure, two races that once occupied the Essence Martial Continent. At this moment, they were actually forced to a corner of the continent by the foreign races. What a great humiliation! "
"Today is the 800th day I stepped into the mystic realm, a full 150 days. I still can't complete the last step of the experiment because I don't have a brain. Be it illusions or mental control, none of them are effective against insects! "
"Today is the 906th day since I entered the secret realm. The Devil Clan has launched an all-out attack. Humans are in imminent danger. I can no longer be so mediocre. These damn bugs are still disobeying my orders. If this continues, I will go crazy. "
"Today, it has been a thousand days since I stepped into the secret realm. It has been three years. I still can't cultivate a usable bug. However, such a tragedy... It will soon come to an end. The supreme beings have decided to lend me the God Treasure. I want to use this treasure that fell from the God Realm to make the insects breed again. I want to nurture some insects with brains that can at least listen to orders. "
"Today is the one thousand three hundred and three hundred days since I stepped into the secret realm, another year, but all the waiting is worth it. I'm going to open the God Treasure, I hope I'll succeed!"
"Today is the 1333 days I spent in the mystic realm. It's over! Everything is over! The insects didn't develop according to my plan. There are indeed some insects that have developed their brains. But their intelligence has already far surpassed mine. I call her Mother Insect. She controls all the bugs to attack me. If it wasn't for my Spirit Martial Stage cultivation base, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to escape! "
"Today is the one thousand three hundred and sixty-one days since I entered the secret realm. The number of insects... The number of bugs is increasing, and new bugs are being born. It was a giant centipede with a dragon-like body. It had a thousand feet, and it could escape through the ground! I believe that this is the work of the Mother Insect. "
"Today is the one thousand three hundred and sixty-sixth day since I stepped into the mystic realm. I've been trapped in this cave for a full six days. It's almost time to open the secret realm. I have to think of a way to stop it. Otherwise, these terrifying insects will destroy the entire continent! They are much more terrifying than Devil Thing! "
" Today is the one thousand three hundred and sixty-eighth day since I stepped into the mystic realm. The appointed day has come. There are still six hours before the mystic realm opens. With the intelligence of the Mother Insect, it would definitely not let go of this opportunity. I have already made up my mind to die and stop the opening of the secret realm. As long as the supreme beings know what happened in the secret realm, a tragedy will never happen! I'm leaving! "
The notes stopped here. Wang Hao could imagine that 11,000 years ago, a martial artist had resolutely stepped out of the cave in order to prevent humans from falling into an even more dire situation.
Although there were no records of the battle at that time, Wang Hao knew that the owner of the notebook had succeeded! Otherwise, with the speed at which the insects were bred, in 11,000 years, even the abyss would become the habitat of the insects.
Wang Hao closed the notebook, but he suddenly realized that on the last night of the notebook, a paper corner was revealed.
