Wilderness: I Tame Beasts to Survive
Chapter 428 - 289: The High Priest (2)Just as Qing Dou said, he couldn't influence the outcome of a battle between Upper Monarchs. Fortunately, he could perceive what was happening in real-time through the Subordinate Insect on Suo Ling, which was no different from being there in person.
During the journey back, the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm had already used its Subordinate Insect to completely heal Suo Ling's superficial wounds. Now, aside from some mental exhaustion, Suo Ling was still combat-ready.
Qing Dou glanced at Suo Ling and gave a slight nod, offering no objection.
The massive figure of the Jade Aurora Dragon appeared in the sky above the rest area.
The brilliant aurora surrounding its body dispelled the starlight, illuminating the nearby area as bright as day.
Qing Dou leaped, his body shooting like a cannonball onto the Jade Aurora Dragon's back. Suo Ling transformed into a wisp of black smoke and followed close behind.
The pair nodded lightly to the crowd below. Immediately after, the Jade Aurora Dragon spread its wings, transformed into a brilliant aurora, pierced through the Wall of Nether Fire, and vanished into the night sky above Night Nether City.
"I hope everything goes smoothly for them... If the High Priest really captures Lord Akatos, the consequences will be unimaginable." Han Ning took a deep breath as he watched the Jade Aurora Dragon fly into the distance.
Combined with the news from the Cyan God Armor Second Elder, it was highly probable the High Priest was heading to the Jade Forest to perform a blood sacrifice on Akatos. Given Akatos's title as practically the "Strongest Dragon Clan on Insect Land," the amount of Spiritual Energy contained within his body was absolutely staggering. For the Queen, he was tantamount to a Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill.
...
The brilliant aurora streaked across the inky sky of the Grudge Abyss, completely ignoring the Soul Beasts living within. Like a splendid meteor, it shot straight toward the surface.
Soon, the Giant Dragon—its body the color of jade, its aura of Spiritual Energy graduating from jade green to a dazzling white—reached the surface.
The moment it reached the surface, before it could even return to the Jade Forest, an overwhelmingly tyrannical and terrifying Spiritual Pressure instantly brought the flying Jade Aurora Dragon to a halt.
At some point, the sky over half the Insect Continent had become a gloomy, light-gray tempest.
A colossal tornado of unknown size, connecting heaven and earth, stretched across the horizon.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared. Amidst the howling winds, ghostly butterfly silhouettes flickered in and out of view, rotating endlessly with the sky-piercing tornado.
The distant land had long since vanished, replaced by massive chunks of rock being sucked into the tornado. The sky was gray and the ground was a swath of darkness, with nothing but a field of view filled with rubble flying violently within the cyclone.
"The Sky-Splitting Instant Butterfly... The High Priest is attacking the forest's Barrier." Qing Dou's expression turned grim as he commanded the Jade Aurora Dragon to accelerate.
'What an astonishing storm... '
Meanwhile, Han Ning, far away in Night Nether City, was simultaneously receiving the information from Suo Ling's perspective.
This new ability, gained after his Spiritual Power broke through to Tier Four, allowed him to analyze the Spiritual Power of Suo Ling captured by the Subordinate Insect and reconstruct the corresponding images.
Across a distance of over ten thousand kilometers, there was a slight delay before the analyzed images reached his mind, but it was not a major issue.
On the surface.
A brilliant aurora suddenly streaked through the world-spanning tornado.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion rocked the heavens and the earth.
An endless torrent of light erupted.
The Sky-Splitting Instant Butterfly, which had been hidden within the storm, was revealed and sent plummeting like a cannonball into a deep chasm in the ground.
In that instant, the rapidly spinning tornado ground to a halt. The sky full of levitating rocks came crashing down, causing another earth-shattering boom.
As the storm subsided, a green, grid-patterned Barrier emerged from within the swirling dust.
"Hooooo~"
A powerful, ancient dragon's roar suddenly echoed in Qing Dou's mind:
"Qing Dou, did I not tell you to stay away?"
"Ancestor... I heard the High Priest..."
Just as Qing Dou was about to reply.
Suddenly, in the next instant, a strange, hoarse, and cryptic voice echoed through the chaotic sky:
"Qing Dou. The current leader of Dragon Blood."
Startled, Qing Dou whipped his head around.
Several kilometers away, a small, slender figure completely shrouded in a scarlet robe levitated silently in the air.
The scarlet robe was embroidered with golden thread, depicting all kinds of long, worm-like creatures that seemed to be writhing.
Viewed from afar, thousands of these creatures were tangled together, a sight dizzying to behold.
"You are the High Priest." Qing Dou's expression was solemn as he gently stroked his Jade Aurora Dragon, which had become agitated.
'For some reason, facing this slender figure felt like being targeted by an ancient behemoth, and an inexplicable tremor ran through his entire body.'
'He hated this feeling... he had only experienced it as a small child, when his father had thrown him into the wilderness to survive.'
"Goo... d... two... of you... together..."
The scarlet-robed figure did not answer Qing Dou, but instead lowered its head and let out a series of hoarse chuckles.
The moment the words were spoken, the surrounding space began to warp violently.
A violent wave of Spiritual Energy erupted from the High Priest, blasting outward in all directions.
The void behind him suddenly split open.
Five figures, accompanied by flashes of purple lightning in the sky, slowly emerged.
A majestic Flying Armor, its body a deep azure and covered in profound Runes, its eyes shedding deep blue Ice Crystals.
An Abyssal Rock Ant, its form as hard as Obsidian, with a mouthful of fangs and two antennae as sharp as arrows.
A River Basin Shattered Gold Mantis, shimmering with sharp flecks of Gold, its invisible aura of sharpness pulverizing nearby boulders.
A Netherworld Purple Bee, its form hazy and shrouded in a gray-purple smokescreen.
And finally, the Sky-Splitting Instant Butterfly, which had just flown silently up from the chasm, once again stirring up a biting storm.
These five Soul Beasts, each a different size and exuding a supreme Spiritual Pressure, hovered to the left, right, above, below, and in front of him.
And behind the High Priest...
"What is that?!"
As Han Ning saw the Soul Beast behind the High Priest through Suo Ling's eyes, an irrepressible look of shock appeared on his face.
It... was a gigantic version of an All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm!
The All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm behind the High Priest was well over 100 meters long, its entire body shrouded in a heaven-blotting, blood-red light.
It was curled up into a ball like a sleeping infant, but in Han Ning's eyes, the aura of blood and life force it emanated was as dazzling as the sun!
'No... it's not an All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm... '
After the initial shock, Han Ning collected himself.
The silkworm-shaped Soul Beast before his "eyes" seemed more "sluggish" than an All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm, completely lacking its spirited nature.
This sluggishness was not a matter of outward appearance, but rather that the Spiritual Fluctuation it emitted was extremely weak. One might even say it completely lacked the imposing presence expected of a Monarch Level creature.
'What kind of Soul Beast is this?' Han Ning thought, and on a whim, he silently invoked "Authentication."
He had only done it on a whim, but to his surprise, the panel actually managed to acquire information about the giant, blood-colored silkworm from the Spiritual Power feedback it received from the Subordinate Insect:
[
Race: Blood Boiling Silkworm
Gender: /
Talent: B
Level: Monarch IV
Talent: Parasitism, Surging Vitality
Mastered Elements: Insect, Water
Introduction: A failed product created by extracting the bloodline of a Cangming Abyssal Butterfly. Possesses low Spiritual Power and can only act on instinct. It is estimated to have already reached its maximum Talent potential.
]
'Blood Boiling Silkworm... What is its relationship to the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm? Could it be that both types of silkworms were created by the Alataku People?'
Staring at the information on the Blood Boiling Silkworm, Han Ning was lost in thought.
He had previously asked Nia where the Taman Insect Master had obtained the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm. Unfortunately, Taman had not revealed any information to Nia, so the silkworm's origin remained a secret.
He never imagined that today, behind this mysterious and powerful High Priest, he would see a distant relative of his All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm.
While Han Ning was lost in thought, Qing Dou, far away on the surface, was already engaged in a fierce battle with the six Soul Beasts summoned by the High Priest.
In an instant, a monstrous, blood-red light illuminated the heavens. All of the High Priest's Contracted Soul Beasts swelled to several times their original size.
BOOM!
At that very moment, every Beast Master in Night Nether City felt the ground tremble slightly.
