Chapter 116: Monsters and Insects

As if seeing Lin Yan's serious injuries, the monster was no longer in a hurry to chase after him.

...

Two bronze saber arms supported the ground. The stiff green carapace on its body suddenly spewed out white smoke. Several irregular cracks opened, emitting a sound like metal rubbing against each other. It slowly squirmed and opened.

A thick insect's head was raised high from its shell. A huge insect monster that looked like a mantis and a cockroach combined revealed its terrifying true appearance.

It was more than three meters long, and its entire body seemed to be made of green iron. Its upper body was like a mantis, two meters tall, and its saber arms were cold. When it slashed across the ground, there was a clang and sparks flew.

Its lower body lay on the ground like a cockroach. Its tail was fat and round, and it was one meter long. It had seven to eight pairs of spike-like legs that were curved and hooked like claws. They were pitch-black.

Behind its butt, four tentacles wriggled and flicked non-stop. From time to time, the bone spikes would pierce into the ground and rise, leaving a deep hole.

"Therefore, the place where the tentacles are long is actually its tail! It will transform. The previous form was just that its body was curled into a ball, and its shell was exposed to protect itself!"

…..

The moment Lin Yan's gaze swept past it, he was immediately attracted by two extremely outstanding features.

First of all, there was a circle of pitch-black sarcoma the size of a baby's head at the connection between its upper and lower body. It looked like it was wearing a string of black prayer beads.

The other was its head, which was in an inverted fan shape. At the top of its grayish-green arc-shaped head, there were dense buns protruding, like Buddha Vajra!

At first glance, the insect monster had Buddhist prayer beads around its waist and buns on its head. It revealed a strange silhouette in the dark. Apart from being terrifying, it actually had a strange Buddhist nature!

A glint flashed across Lin Yan's eyes. He reached out to his chest to cover the wound that had already begun to recover.

The insect monster didn't attack again. Its four dark red compound eyes, accompanied by the swaying of its greenish-gray head, stared at Lin Yan mockingly.

Under its eyes, the four-petaled mouthpart let out chewing and friction sounds from time to time, as if four huge guillotines were cutting back and forth.

"It's waiting! Waiting for the moment when 1 lose too much blood and am seriously injured and on the verge of death! In that case…"

Lin Yan glanced around and suddenly staggered, half kneeling on the ground.

At this moment!

The insect monster's lower body had seven to eight pairs of legs. With a sudden bounce, its three-meter-long body instantly bounced up. From top to bottom, it pounced at Lin Yan's head in an extremely perfect arc!

The coldness in Lin Yan's eyes suddenly increased. Now!

His blood energy surged, and the muscles on his half-kneeling foot instantly pulled like steel cables. A huge force erupted, and Lin Yan's body flew out horizontally, dodging the insect monster's pounce.

The insect monster was in midair when it realized that its prey had suddenly run away. Its body curled up and was about to shrink back into a ball.

In the next moment, a huge beam tore through the air and crashed into the front of the insect monster's body!

The beam was extremely thick. The insect monster could not retract at all and lost its balance in midair.

Lin Yan hugged it tightly with both hands and swung the beam as a huge pestle. He pushed against the insect monster and smashed it into the palace wall against the rock wall!

BANG!

With a loud bang, a large crack appeared on the rock wall, and the entire palace began to shake. An extremely sharp and miserable cry sounded from behind the pillar. At the same time, a huge struggle came from behind the pillar.

Lin Yan exerted his brute force and bent his right leg. A huge force erupted and he directly kneed the back end of the broken beam.

Bang!

The crack in the rock wall instantly expanded. The beam pillar was pushed by the huge force and was forcefully embedded into the rock wall. The palace shook even more.

Lin Yan could see that a quarter of the insect monster's body was pushed against the rock wall by the beam. It let out a shrill cry as a large mouthful of green pus suddenly spewed out of its mouth, and its sharp lower jaw was broken.

It waved its saber arm, wanting to cut off the beam.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Almost instantly, Lin Yan kicked six times in a row.

He completely ignored the crumbling hall and attacked with all his might, directly interrupting the insect monster's actions and pushing it deep into the rock wall. Almost half of its body was stuck in the rock wall, and a large amount of green pus emerged.

"Not dead yet!"

Lin Yan pressed down with both hands and pressed the beam pillar into the ground. His figure was like lightning as he stepped on the beam pillar and rushed to the insect monster.

The insect monster's vitality was extremely tenacious. After such a terrifying collision, the carapace on its body only deformed slightly.

Seeing Lin Yan arrive in front of it, there were several gills-like cracks on both sides of its face. As its mouth opened and closed, its four compound eyes were already red.

The two saber arms crossed and slashed at Lin Yan's head.

However, Lin Yan was already prepared. He easily dodged the two saber arms.

Then, his hand was like an iron hoop. He grabbed brazenly and directly grabbed the insect monster's right saber arm. His fingers exerted strength and actually cracked the saber arm.

The insect monster wanted to retract its saber arm, but the bone spike in Lin Yan's other hand stabbed into the rotating joint of the saber arm like an iron cone.

"Hehehe!"

An ear-piercing scream sounded. The insect monster's left saber arm slashed over, wanting to split Lin Yan's head in half.

Lin Yan pulled its right saber arm and turned around to dodge the blade. Instead, he left the joint of its right saber arm where its left arm had fallen.

It was like a knife cutting through tofu. Its right saber arm was directly cut off by itself, and foul green pus and blood spewed out.

"Hehehe!!!"

With the saber arm in his hand, Lin Yan's wrist sank and he swung it at the remaining left joint of the insect monster's saber arm!

A saber beam appeared, and the insect monster's left saber arm fell with a sound. The two terrifying saber arms were broken in the blink of an eye!

Another intense howl sounded. Its body kept trying to shrink back into a ball. The huge force kept squeezing the beam pillar. Finally, the beam pillar could not withstand it and cracked layer by layer, directly breaking!

The insect monster was overjoyed. Its four compound eyes seemed to be about to protrude. It ignored everything and wanted to curl up into a ball.

"You want to run?!"

Lin Yan swung his saber arm like a spear and stabbed out, ruthlessly stabbing into one of the insect monster's compound eyes!

The compound eye was like a squeezed water ball, pus splattering everywhere.

In the next moment, a terrifying aura instantly erupted, and the surrounding air was blown away. A fist containing endless strength brazenly smashed down.

"Exchanging injuries for life, Thousand Pound Break!"

A terrifying force instantly erupted and landed on the insect monster's head. It was as if he was crushing rotten wood, directly sinking its entire head. Then, the force erupted, and a large portion of the left part of the head exploded, along with the buns.

"Huh?!"

A milky-white thing that looked like a bone was faintly discernible inside the insect monster's head. Golden patterns surrounded it, like a leaf vein.

Lin Yan's eyes narrowed. He grabbed the insect monster's head and pulled it out of the pit. He reached out and grabbed the bone-like thing in his hand, pulling out a slippery mucus.

"This is… Spirit Marrow!!!"

Although its shape was different from the other two, there was no doubt that it looked like the Spirit Marrow!

Lin Yan's eyes lit up. He had been searching for the source of the Spirit Marrow, but he didn't expect to find it here!

The insect monster on the ground was still moving its joints, abdomen, and feet, but it had clearly lost its life force and was only twitching.

The surrounding rock walls cracked and mud rolled down. The walls began to collapse, and the roof was on the verge of collapse.

Lin Yan tore with all his might and tore off a piece of carapace from the insect monster's back. He pulled the string of sculptures and the two saber arms that had been torn off randomly and crawled out of the entrance of the hall.

BOOM!

Not long after he climbed out, the entire palace began to collapse. As Lin Yan breathed in the poisonous fog to recover from his injuries, he quickly crawled along the rock wall.

Dust and smoke scattered in all directions, and the palace completely collapsed. Dirt poured out of the palace and filled the entire palace area tightly. It was even pushed out of the palace and poured down the cliff.

The vibration spread, and half of the glazed roof outside was also affected by the vibration. It was already weak, so at this moment, it directly broke and fell into the abyss.

Lin Yan placed his palm on the rock wall and pulled a string of sculptures, saber arms, and carapaces with his other hand. He looked down at the abyss.

The black hole was so deep that one could not see the bottom. It was like a demon's mouth that quickly swallowed the mud and roof.

Then, a series of dull echoes came from the depths of the crack, completely breaking the silent abyss.

When the poisonous fog entered his throat, his injuries quickly recovered.

Lin Yan's gaze suddenly froze.

On the rock wall below whose depth was unknown, a few green and stiff dots suddenly appeared from the darkness and fog and quickly climbed up the rock wall.

It was those strange insect monsters again!

The insect monster's strength was probably equivalent to the Tough Realm. It was not Lin Yan's match.

However, it had a saber arm and a tentacle bone spike at its tail. It could even curl up into a ball to increase its defense. Lin Yan couldn't figure out its abilities the first time he encountered it, so he suffered two consecutive injuries.

…..

Lin Yan's gaze wandered. "One, two, three, four… If there are four, I can think of a way. After all, they have the Spirit Marrow…"

Suddenly, Lin Yan's pupils constricted and his expression changed in shock. He turned around and used his hands and feet to climb up the rock wall crazily without looking back.

On the limestone-like rock wall below, countless dense green insect monsters crawled out of the dark abyss like a green wave. They climbed the rock wall and quickly swept up!

Insect tide!

Chapter 117: Pursuit and Turning Point

Lin Yan tightened his limbs and used the fastest speed he had ever used in his life. He turned into a black shadow and quickly jumped up the rock wall.

...

Under the cliff behind him, the dense cries of insects overlapped and slowly turned into a deafening sound. It was like a funeral song that stimulated Lin Yan's nerves.

His scalp was already cold, and the coldness ran straight to the soles of his feet. He tied the sculptures, saber arms, and other things to his body and flew out along the same path.

At least, this group of insect monsters was not as fast as him.

His feet moved quickly, and the surrounding poisonous fog was sometimes thick and sometimes faint. The tremors behind him seemed to be getting further and further away.

Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks. The ground around him was filled with mud, dust, and dead leaves. Under the ground, there was an increasingly powerful tremor.

…..

This feeling…

Without hesitation, Lin Yan crazily infused his blood energy into his legs. He raised his right leg high and suddenly stomped on the ground like a ten-thousand-pound hammer.

BANG!

The ground shook violently, and countless cracks instantly appeared on the ground. He stepped out of a huge pit, and there was a faint sound of "Hehehe".

Lin Yan also leaped forward with the force of this step and darted out.

The ground behind him instantly split open, and more than ten bone spike tentacles suddenly stabbed out. Four to five insect monsters that looked like huge bronze squids suddenly crawled out. They opened their shells and transformed into mantis forms, letting out sharp cries as they chased after Lin Yan.

Lin Yan ran away. Thinking of the animal internal organs he had seen previously, his expression turned uglier.

He should have known that the insect monsters did not only exist in the abyss. These insect monsters were probably everywhere in this dense forest!

Now, they seemed to have been stimulated by something and surged out crazily. If he was pestered by them and attracted the insect tide behind, he would be dead!

Lin Yan was extremely fast. Although the insect monsters were agile, they were quickly left behind.

The poisonous fog began to thicken again. There were tall withered trees around him, and there were no signs of life.

Suddenly, a few thin gusts of wind blew.

"Where did this airflow come from… Above my head!"

Lin Yan's expression suddenly turned sharp, and alarm bells rang all over his body. He stomped hard and forcefully pushed his body to the right.

In an instant, a sharp saber beam descended from the sky and brushed past his skin and hair!

A huge insect monster actually hid on the tree with its protective color and suddenly fell from the sky!

The insect monster missed the first attack. Its huge body pressed down like a spring and suddenly bounced up. It pounced at Lin Yan like a huge grasshopper.

Lin Yan's feet did not stabilize, so he could only twist his body to dodge the two saber arms that were slashing at him. However, his body could not dodge and was thrown to the ground by the insect monster.

The sharp legs were like seven or eight iron hoops that firmly wrapped around Lin Yan's body. A pungent smell of insects assaulted his nose.

Immediately after, its huge four-petal mouth opened, revealing its ferocious internal structure. It spat out incomparably smelly mucus and bit at Lin Yan's head!

Lin Yan stretched out his hands and grabbed the insect monster's chin, holding its head firmly.

The huge rough buns and insect head were close at hand. Four dark red compound eyes the size of eggs were stuck to the tip of his nose. Countless dense small eyes kept moving, looking extremely terrifying.

Lin Yan shouted and his blood energy surged violently, causing his palm to swell. With his huge brute force, he shouted and forcefully broke off a piece of its lower left mouth!

The insect monster immediately let out a miserable cry. Its mouthpart leaked out, and mucus sprayed out.

Lin Yan changed his strength and angrily kneed the insect monster's lower abdomen, flipping its entire body over.

Lying on the ground, he could feel the ground tremble faintly. There were rustling sounds around him. More insect monsters were gathering!

Just as he was about to stand up, he realized that his body had staggered and four tentacles were wrapped around his feet!

Two saber beams appeared again and slashed at Lin Yan's neck.

Clang! Clang!

At the critical moment, Lin Yan bent down and lowered his head. He used the two saber arms tied to his back to block the two saber beams.

Then, he reached out and pulled out the saber arm on his back. He slashed fiercely, and the four tentacles on his feet immediately broke.

The insect monster howled in pain, but its two saber arms were merciless. They continuously slashed down crazily, forming a thick saber storm that enveloped Lin Yan.

Lin Yan had also completely become ruthless. He waved the two saber arms in his hand with brute force. He had to end the battle quickly!

The two dense saber lights intertwined. In an instant, they collided countless times before suddenly stopping.

In the next moment, a slanted green blood line suddenly shot out of the insect monster's head. The upper and lower parts of its head were tilted and slid down.

Lin Yan reached out and grabbed the Spirit Marrow that had appeared in the head again. He dragged the body that had been slashed into a blood gourd and fled.

His saber technique was far weaker than this insect monster. He relied on his advantage in strength and speed to exchange injuries and kill this insect monster.

However, this method was fine against one insect monster. If he was surrounded by a group of insect monsters, he would definitely die.

His footsteps were fast, and his wounds quickly healed. This gave Lin Yan confidence. As long as he was in the poisonous fog, it was impossible for him to die easily!

After running for a distance, the concentration of the surrounding poisonous fog seemed to be higher.

Lin Yan sniffed and thought of the previous two times. A bad feeling flashed across his eyes.

Indeed, five huge insect monsters suddenly darted out of the poisonous fog in front of him. Their compound eyes protruded and they surrounded Lin Yan with roars.

"It's related to the concentration of the poisonous fog! These insect monsters like to appear in places with dense poisonous fog!"

Lin Yan changed directions and fled in another direction. At this moment, he couldn't be bothered to return the way he came. The most important thing was to prevent himself from being surrounded by the insect monsters!

When the five insect monsters behind him saw Lin Yan fleeing, two of them suddenly crawled on the ground and aimed their heads in Lin Yan's direction. They suddenly hissed sharply!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of explosions sounded.

Lin Yan's eyes suddenly focused. Between the upper and lower bodies of the two insect monsters, the circle of black sarcomas that looked like prayer beads actually expanded and squirmed, shooting at him like cannonballs!

The sarcoma balls were extremely fast. When the two insects attacked together, there were more than 30 of them, but they were strangely not aimed at him. Instead, they were evenly distributed in the space around him!

Lin Yan's heart sank, and his muscles tensed to the limit!

In the next moment, all the sarcoma balls around him exploded!

As the mucus splattered, a black shadow the size of a baby's head crawled out of each ball. Their mouths widened as they pounced at Lin Yan!

Lin Yan's breathing suddenly tightened. These black shadows were clearly miniature insect monsters!

Their flesh was white, and there was only a long tentacle behind them. There were no bone spikes, and their saber arms were not formed. There were seven to eight pairs of spider-like limbs and claws on their left and right. They were sharp and pitch-black, and they looked like facehuggers. They were extremely disgusting!

Lin Yan's reaction was extremely fast. He immediately waved the saber arms in his hands into the wind and cut off more than half of the baby insect monsters. However, more than ten insect monsters pounced on him and used their tentacles to tightly bind his arms, waist, and legs. They clawed and bit with their mouths.

"Huh?"

An extremely strong heat surged out from all over his body. Compared to the blood energy produced by inhaling the poisonous fog, it was several times more.

The heat flow was too strong, so much so that just as these baby insect monsters bit open the wound, it immediately healed again.

Lin Yan instantly understood that this baby insect monster's attack method was to inject poison into the enemy's body through hooking claws and biting.

If it was an ordinary animal or human, no matter how big they were, even if they were at the Noble Realm, they would probably not be able to withstand such a large amount of poison and would not be able to move in a few seconds.

Unfortunately, they met Lin Yan…

As Lin Yan ran, he tore at the baby insect monster on his body. He ignored the adult insect monsters behind him and disappeared into the depths of the forest in the blink of an eye.

The adult insect monsters behind him seemed to be relaxed as they followed closely behind Lin Yan. However, after a while, they stopped and collided with each other, letting out surprised cries, as if they were puzzled. That guy was clearly poisoned, so why did he disappear?

As he fled, Lin Yan didn't return the way he came. Instead, he specially chose a place where the poisonous fog was weak.

As expected, the number of insect monsters he encountered along the way immediately decreased.

Although he would still encounter them, he had never been suddenly attacked again. At least, he had discovered them from 100 feet away.

Although the insect monsters followed him all the way, Lin Yan was already fast. Furthermore, he had an endless supply of blood energy, so he was not afraid of prolonged consumption.

Just like that, he darted left and right, specially choosing the places where the poisonous fog was weak. From time to time, he would attract a few insect monsters to chase after him and shake them off. After two hours.

Lin Yan's breathing suddenly cleared, and the heat in his body suddenly decreased. His vision suddenly widened.

"I'm out!"

In front of him was a rather open valley. The sky was clear, and the green mountains and rivers were separated from the poisonous fog behind him.

Lin Yan's breathing suddenly relaxed, but he didn't stop. He ran a hundred meters away before stopping and turning to stare at the poisonous fog behind him.

…..

About half an hour ago, he encountered another seven to eight insect monsters from afar. They chased after him.

At this moment, he estimated that the seven to eight insect monsters had not been shaken off and would catch up to him.

Soon, Lin Yan heard a group of sharp cries. In the poisonous fog behind him, a few black shadows were faintly discernible. It was the group of insect monsters that had chased after him.

And yet…

"They didn't come out?!"

Lin Yan's eyes lit up. This group of seven to eight insect monsters actually stopped in the poisonous fog and did not come out!

"Are they not used to leaving the poisonous fog, or is it not suitable for them to survive outside the poisonous fog?"

Lin Yan reached out and pulled on his shoulder. The string of statues hanging on his back immediately fell. He held the two saber arms in his hand, and his eyes flickered.

The group of poisonous insects was still gathered at the entrance of the poisonous fog. They wandered left and right, but they did not come out.

"We'll know what's going on after giving it a try!"

Lin Yan did not forget that there was Spirit Marrow in this insect monster's body!

As long as he had enough Spirit Marrow, his strength would advance by leaps and bounds. He could not miss this opportunity.

However, these insect monsters were really cunning. It was possible that it was their scheme. Lin Yan had suffered twice and no longer treated these insect monsters as ordinary wild beasts.

He turned around and immediately squatted down. He removed the rope from the statues and tied it to the saber arm.

Then, he carefully observed his surroundings and approached carefully at a moderate speed until he was about five meters away from the poisonous fog.

With his speed, as long as he was prepared and was not surrounded, the insect monsters could not sneak attack him.

"At this distance, it's about time…"

In the poisonous fog, the insect monsters were faintly discernible, but they did not take a step out of the poisonous fog.

Lin Yan's strength surged out violently. He turned around and swung his saber arm fiercely.

The saber arm immediately turned into a spinning flying blade that instantly tore through the air, stirring up a wave of churning air. As it blew away the poisonous fog, it shot towards several insect monsters!

The insect monsters were already prepared and nimbly dodged left and right. The saber arm flew past a few insect monsters, but it did not hit any of them.

However, Lin Yan's eyes lit up as he removed the strength he had prepared.

Naturally, he did not expect to hit the insect monsters with that throw just now. However, after throwing out the saber, he lost his balance and used up his strength. If these insect monsters really wanted to ambush him, that moment just now would be the best opportunity for them to assassinate him!

However, these insect monsters did not move at all. Moreover, they deliberately dodged the range of the poisonous fog that was blown away.

These insect monsters were afraid of places without poisonous fog!

Chapter 118: Hunting the Spirit Marrow and the Stone Pagoda

Thinking about it, it made sense. With the number of insect monsters and their strength that was close to the Tough Realm, if they surged out, nor to mention Dmg'an City, probably no living creature in rhe entire Guangchuan Mountains would survive!

However, outside the poisonous fog, he had never heard of the existence of such a insect monster.

Therefore, it was very likely that they could only survive in the poisonous fog!

A glint flashed across Lin Yan's eyes. His figure suddenly flashed and he stood in the poisonous fog. Seeing this, a few insect monsters waved their saber arms and rushed up, wanting to hook Lin Yan and kill him.

However, Lin Yan exerted strength in his feet and took a few steps back. The saber beam struck the ground in front of him, but not a single insect monster jumped out to outflank his retreat.

Lin Van's eyes lit up as he suddenly jerked his wrist!

…..

The rope that was originally wrapped around the saber arm immediately straightened and flew back with the saber arm. It circled around and wrapped around one of the legs of the insect monster on the left!

The rope wrapped around the insect monster at a tricky angle. The Insect monster's saber arm could not slash it, and it immediately let out a hiss. The surrounding insect monsters immediately wanted to go forward.

Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded. Lin Yan threw a punch, Thousand Pound Break, which injured both friend and foe!

The air suddenly exploded, and the air currents swept wildly, blowing away the poisonous fog. It forcefully opened a cavity in the poisonous fog, enveloping the wrapped insect monster and connecting it to the outside world!

This place was directly connected to the outside world. Once the poisonous fog blew away, it was impossible to quickly fill it.

The surrounding insect monsters, which were about to go forward to support it, immediately stopped in their tracks and hesitated to move forward. They let out violent cries that were incompetent and furious.

The insect monster that was entangled was even more terrified. Its abdomen swung wildly as it fled into the poisonous fog. The rope was immediately stretched straight and was about to break.

However, Lin Yan had already used this obstruction to flash behind the insect monster's butt. He spread his hands and clamped them, directly clamping the four tentacles behind the insect monster's butt under its armpits.

Then, he poured his strength into his feet and shattered the ground. His strength surged into his back and abdomen. His brute force suddenly erupted. His hands twisted along his back and abdomen as he shouted, "Rise!"

He forcefully pulled the insect monster into the air and threw it high!

The insect monster struggled crazily in midair, waving its pair of saber arms. However, it could not exert strength and landed outside the poisonous fog as expected.

As soon as it landed, the insect monster seemed to feel immense fear and fled crazily into the poisonous fog.

However, in rhe next moment, a leg that was like a spear made of steel kicked in the air. The leg stepped on its green iron-colored head, creating countless fine cracks. At the same time, it was kicked even further away from the poisonous fog.

Lin Yan retracted his foot and landed on the ground. His figure flashed and caught up to the insect monster. In a flash, he arrived at rhe back of its head. He suddenly stepped on the green iron-colored bun on the insect monster's head, sinking its head into the ground.

Then, he reached out with both hands and grabbed the joints of the saber arms on both sides from behind, controlling the two sharp and dangerous saber arms.

The insect monster struggled crazily, but its tail tentacles were nor long enough to hit Lin Yan. For a moment, it was firmly controlled by him on rhe ground.

As for the other insect monsters, they actually shrank in the poisonous fog and hissed threateningly, but none of them went forward.

Not long after, the insect monster's struggling softened. Even its two saber arms drooped and lost their strength.

Lin Yan raised his leg and kicked it, turning the insect monster's head over. Its four scarlet compound eyes had all turned gray. Large mouthfuls of dark green pus kept gushing out of its ferocious mouth.

"As expected, it's not used to an environment without poisonous fog!"

Lin Yan actually didn't use much strength. It was rhe environment outside that killed rhe insect monster!

With a twist of his wrist, he tore the insect monster's saber arm off and swung it fiercely.

The insect monster's head immediately split into two, and insect blood scattered.

Lin Yan picked up rhe Spirit Marrow and looked at the angry insect monster in the poisonous fog. His eyes subconsciously flashed with a rich light.

How were these insect monsters? They were clearly shining Spirit Marrows that were waiting for him to pick!

After completely confirming that the insect monster could not leave the poisonous fog, Lin Yan instantly became bold and charged into the poisonous fog!

First, he did the same thing and punched several times in a row. He violently pierced through the air to form a cavity, forcing the insect monsters' formation to collapse. Then, he rushed up unexpectedly and grabbed a insect monster to run!

In Lin Yan's hands, the ferocious and terrifying insect monster seemed to have become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in a sheep pen. It struggled crazily, but it couldn't escape and was dragged out by Lin Yan's brute force!

With a series of violent attacks, it was easily killed.

Another Spirit Marrow in hand… Hmm? You want to escape?!"

After two insect monsters died in a row, the remaining insect monsters finally began to fear. They actually shrank their bodies and turned around to escape!

"Stop right there!"

Lin Yan didn't even have time to dig out the Spirit Marrow in the insect monster's head.

His hands were stained with insect blood as he chased angrily into the poisonous fog.

After he chased for a distance.

"Eufufu…

II

The insect monsters suddenly stopped and changed directions. Saber beams shot out as they pounced at Lin Yan.

"A trick to fake an ambush? As expected, you're cunning… Unfortunately, it's useless!"

Lin Yan snorted coldly. If not for the poison-free "natural barrier" behind him, he would not have dared to be careless.

However, now that he was in front of the safe zone, he completely did not care. Did these insect monsters think that they could chase him around?

Lin Yan's figure flickered as he took a few steps back to dodge the saber beam. He used his saber arm as a hidden weapon and threw it out, forcing back several insect monsters that pounced at him. Then, he flashed out and stepped on the carapace of a lone insect monster before jumping onto its back.

"Exchanging injuries for life, Thousand Pound Break'"

A violent force surged. His fist immediately condensed endless power and smashed down.

The green iron-like shell seemed to have been smashed by a huge hammer that fell from the sky. The entire insect monster's body suddenly sank down and began to crack layer by layer from its back, shooting out several streams of fishy insect blood and emitting extremely shrill insect cries.

Still alive. Your carapace is really hard…

II

Lin Yan waved his hand, and a cold light appeared on his saber arm. The insect monster's head was immediately split into two.

After killing four insect monsters, Lin Yan already had experience. The insect monsters' shells were extremely hard, but they were concentrated on the back.

The inner part, especially the front of the head, was soft. As long as the balance was broken, the saber arm could easily cut it in half from the front.

After killing another insect monster, Lin Yan sucked in a large mouthful of poisonous gas. As he recovered from the backlash caused by Thousand Pound Break, he waved his saber arm and charged at another insect monster.

He relied on his speed to dodge and avoid the insect monsters. Then, he took the opportunity to pull the tail tentacle and make it lose its balance. He hammered again and killed another insect monster in the same way!

After two insect monsters died tragically in succession, the remaining three insect monsters finally realized that they could not defeat the creature in front of them!

Two insect monsters turned around and fled.

The last one curled up into a ball and looked like a bronze squid. Its four tentacles and its carapace shook crazily as it burrowed into the ground.

Lin Yan was helpless and could only give up on the other two. He ran to the insect monster that was burrowing in the ground and kicked it out of the ground.

It already knew how powerful Lin Yan was, so it curled up In its shell and didn't open it at all. It only waved its tentacles and bone spikes to attack Lin Yan.

It wasn't until Lin Yan kicked it out of the range of the poisonous fog that the insect monster really panicked. It didn't know whether to open, close, or burrow into the ground. It was firmly pressed to the ground by Lin Yan.

In the end, it relaxed and vomited dark green blood to death.

After taking out the Spirit Marrow from its head, Lin Yan turned around and dragged out the corpses of the two insect monsters in the range of the poisonous fog. He took out the Spirit Marrow and stacked the corpses together.

"There are a total of five Spirit Marrows, and they're not small. They're comparable to the one I obtained from Li Qu back then…"

At this moment, Lin Yan couldn't be bothered to think about what the Spirit Marrow was and why it appeared on the insect monster.

He looked back at rhe poisonous fog, his eyes burning.

"There are so many insect monsters! J can completely lure them here wave by wave and kill them one by one!

"At this moment, the insect monsters are rioting. The way back is filled with danger. If I want to walk through the valley, I have to circle around it again.

Why don't we kill the insect monsters first and obtain more Spirit Marrow!"

Thinking of this, he stood up and walked to the side of the five stacked corpses of rhe insect monsters. He dragged them into the depths of the dense forest at the side of the valley and hid them so that the insect monsters could not see rhe corpses of their own kind.

Then, he turned around again and rushed into the depths of the forest.

Six hours later.

The sky was dark, and rhe sun was setting in the west. The valley was quiet and peaceful, and everything was harmonious.

On the other side, the half-red slanting sun coated the poisonous fog that filled the mountain with a scarlet color, causing the poisonous fog to roil, making it seem even more strange and dense.

In the poisonous fog, there were about a dozen terrifyingly tall insect monsters hidden in the fog. They hissed and wandered back and forth, staring fixedly at Lin Yan, who was panting heavily in the valley in front of him.

…..

Lin Yan didn't even look at them.

He supported his knees with one hand and sat on the head of a broken insect monster.

Under his butt was the round Buddha s bun. It was greenish-gray and angular, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

Hence, he shifted his position and adjusted his breathing. He looked ar the lush mountains under the setting sun and enjoyed this rare moment of peace.

His stamina consumption was only a portion, but the continuous running and killing, the high-intensity confrontation, made his mind tense all the time, and he could not take it anymore.

As he watched, Lin Yan suddenly felt that the valley scene in front of him was somewhat familiar.

He had definitely never been here, but it was as if he had seen it before.

After his blood energy transformed, his memory and thinking abilities had increased. It was definitely not an illusion.

Where had he seen her before?

Lin Yan didn't seek an answer. He just let his thoughts relax and wander wherever he thought.

Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind. He reached out and took out a yellow cloth from the layer of scale armor.

He had obtained this cloth from the Du family when he destroyed the Du family. He had kept it in the cracks of the inner scale armor and had never cared about it.

At this moment, there were two holes on it. It was probably pierced by the insect monsters tentacles.

He spread out the cloth and looked at the surrounding mountains and rivers.

As expected, the destination of the red dot marked on the map is in this valley!

This map recorded a certain area in the Guangchuan Mountains. It was closely kept by the Du family back then and seemed to be related to the Hong family where Du Ting worked.

Unexpectedly, it happened to refer to this valley.

«

1 wonder what's hidden in this valley?

"If 1 have time, I can take a look.

"Eufufu…

ii

In the poisonous fog, the insect monsters hissed again and kept provoking Lin Yan.

"1 know, I know." Putting away the cloth, Lin Yan propped himself up on his knees, his bones cracking.

He kicked away the insect head by his feet and turned to look at the dozen or so insect monsters in the poisonous fog. "Don't be anxious. I'll entertain you now!"

If it were six hours ago, Lin Yan would not have dared to attract so many insect monsters.

Even if he was strong, with nearly 30 saber arms slashing at his head, even if he dodged half of them, he would be cut into pieces.

But now…

He focused and summoned the Golden Bodhi Scripture.

Basic information:

Skills: Devour (wo%), Five Animal Hands (100%), Dragon-Shaped Fist (66%), Iron Pagoda {36%), Thousand Pound Break Incomplete (30W0)

The Tough Force in Lin Yan's body surged and quickly spread to every inch of his skin in a mysterious manner.

A thick grayish-white color appeared on his skin, as if a dense protective membrane was stuck to his body.

"36% of Iron Pagoda is enough to operate the stone pagoda../'

Chapter 119: Another Earthquake and Beast Trap

The ten blades slashed at him head-on. Lin Yan dodged some of them, but he couldn't dodge all. He directly raised his arm and circulated his strength, allowing the blades to land on his arm.

"Ding, ding, dang, dang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out continuously. The blades landed on Lin Yan's pale arm, but they could only sink slightly and leave a few shallow white marks.

Lin Yan took the opportunity to lower his elbow and hold the saber arms in the posture of the Erlang God carrying a mountain. He didn't care how many there were and directly turned over to clamp them. He tied the saber arms under his armpit and pulled them out of the poisonous fog!

A total of four insect monsters lost their balance after being tied up by him and were dragged out of the poisonous fog.

Lin Yan twisted his waist and used the force of the rotation to throw the four insect monsters to the other side of the valley where there was no poisonous fog. He stood between the poisonous fog and the insect monsters, blocking the way.

…..

The four insect monsters were naturally extremely afraid and rushed over, wanting to return to the poisonous fog.

However, there was no need to worry about their sharp blades. To Lin Yan, the four insect monsters immediately became tigers without claws and teeth. They were easily kicked back by him.

Not long after, the four insect monsters fell to the ground and spat out dark green pus and blood.

"This Stone Pagoda can actually unleash such an effect when combined with Tough Force. It's the nemesis of sharp weapons!"

Lin Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart and turned around, only to discover that the remaining seven to eight insect monsters had taken a step back in unison.

When Lin Yan rushed in again, they actually turned around and ran!

"The only flaw is that it's too easy to scare these insect monsters away!"

Lin Yan sighed and his body flashed. He quickly caught up to another fleeing insect monster and pulled it back.

After a period of struggle and torture.

Lin Yan placed the five new Spirit Marrows together with the previous seven and sat on one of the insect heads to rest.

"This Stone Pagoda's defense is really shocking!

"It can also increase one's defense as one's realm increases. The stronger the force, the stronger the defense. It's simply a divine skill!"

Previously, he had entered the poisonous fog to attract insects and lured them over before coming here to kill them. He had been working hard for more than five hours and collected about ten Spirit Marrows.

He quickly realized that the greatest threat to him from the insect monsters was the two saber arms!

The blade was sharp, so he had to be extra alert. Otherwise, if he was not careful, he would be cut in half.

Therefore, he naturally thought of Iron Pagoda, the defensive martial art.

With the intention of giving it a try, he absorbed a total of 12 Spirit Marrows in a row and filled the remaining seven Wisdom Holes. He transformed another Enlightenment Spiritual Light and threw it into the Iron Pagoda.

That's right, he had used a total of 12 Spirit Marrows this time.

It was not that the Spirit Marrow in the insect monster's body contained little external spiritual matter.

Instead, it was because after he advanced to the Tough Realm and his strength increased, the external spiritual matter needed for every Wisdom Hole increased!

Each Wisdom Hole required at least three times the external spiritual matter from before.

Of course, the intensity of the Enlightenment Spiritual Light it transformed into was three times that of before.

"However, the Iron Pagoda is a martial arts technique that takes a lot of effort. It doesn't have a strong reaction to enlightenment.

"From 14% to 35%, it was still fine. After 35%, it's like a turtle crawling. Even with the enhancement of the Enlightenment Spiritual Light with three times the effect, it only reached 42% proficiency in the end.

"I'm still a long way from the next level of the Iron Pagoda."

"It's not worth it to use the Enlightenment Spiritual Light on this martial art."

Of course, its effect was extremely strong.

If he activated his blood energy in the Strength Realm, the effect of the Stone Pagoda would probably be equivalent to wearing a layer of stone armor on the surface of his body.

However, if he used Tough Force to activate it, the stone armor would immediately become an extremely tough hard rock armor. It could be said to be the nemesis of sharp weapons!

Especially for someone like Lin Yan, whose total Tough Force was terrifying, his defense increased exponentially.

As long as he let go of the consumption of force, he would directly ignore the insect monster's slash!

"It's getting late. Hurry up and farm another wave of Spirit Marrow!"

After entering the poisonous fog, Lin Yan followed the concentration of the poisonous fog and quickly found seven to eight insect monsters gathered in a place with thick poisonous fog.

The same trick. He attracted them. Then, he returned the way he came and was about to return to the valley without the poisonous fog.

Suddenly, Lin Yan staggered and almost fell.

The ground suddenly cracked, and a pitch-black crack appeared under Lin Yan's feet. Lin Yan hurriedly jumped to the side.

The two insect monsters that had been chasing him could not dodge in time. They hissed sharply and struggled to fall into the underground crack.

"Another earthquake!"

Moreover, this time, Lin Yan was almost in the core area of the earthquake. Rocks fell and mountains swayed.

The intense tremors seemed to have condensed into terrifying ripples that continuously spread from the ground under his feet to every inch of his body, causing him to subconsciously prostrate on the ground.

This was the instinctive reverence of living beings towards nature!

It was as if a ball of nameless anger had erupted from the depths of the ground. The roar shook the sky and thundered. The entire poisonous fog sea surged, and several gaps appeared on the ground.

The mountains and rivers overturned, and the world lost its color!

Not long after, the intense tremors slowly stopped.

Lin Yan slowly stood up. On the other side, the remaining five to six insect monsters curled up into a ball and used their tentacles to burrow firmly into the ground to stabilize themselves.

There seemed to be a weak aftershock on the ground. Lin Yan looked around. Tens of thousands of trees had fallen, and countless black holes had appeared on the ground. It was a scene of devastation.

His expression was ugly. What he was thinking was, could something have happened to Xiaozhi again?

At this moment, the five to six insect monsters also shook their bodies and spread out again.

However, they ignored Lin Yan. After whispering to each other for a moment, they turned around and immediately ran.

Lin Yan flashed out and grabbed a insect monster, pressing it to the ground. However, the other four insect monsters ignored him and only cared about running back.

Looking in that direction, it was where Lin Yan had discovered the palace.

He broke the insect monster's saber arms, ignored its struggle, and split its head open.

Lin Yan took the Spirit Marrow with a solemn expression. After identifying a simple direction, he ran in the direction he came from.

At this moment, with the Stone Pagoda on his body, he was not too afraid of the insect monsters. He just had to be careful not to be surrounded by the main group.

Moreover, looking at the behavior of the insect monsters just now, they probably did not have the time to care about him.

As he sped along, he would distinguish the north and south from time to time. After walking for a long time, Lin Yan finally found a dead tree that he had marked before the sky turned completely dark.

He heaved a sigh of relief and lit a torch. Following the location he had marked, he ran all the way out of the poisonous fog.

The sky was filled with stars, and the night was charming. The mountains and rivers in front of him were quiet, and the long-awaited sound of insects sounded again.

The poisonous fog behind him was thick and dark, as if they were in two different worlds.

Lin Yan extinguished the torch and walked forward.

Suddenly.

Crack!

There was a crisp sound.

Lin Yan's reaction was abnormally fast. He suddenly raised his leg and pulled it out before the iron trap on the ground closed.

"This is a flat road. It's obvious for people to walk on. Who dares to set up a trap here?!"

A trace of coldness flashed across Lin Yan's eyes. He stepped down and broke the trap.

Then, he continued to run forward.

Crack!

Another trap!

"Another one?!"

Lin Yan was already anxious. After being stopped by these two traps, a cold glint flashed across his eyes. He kicked the beast trap away and broke two trees.

"Someone's here!"

…..

"Who's there!"

"This is the territory of the Void Fist Sect. No matter who it is, surrender and speak!"

Voices came from ahead. Several balls of flames quickly approached from afar and quickly surrounded the place. There were three green-robed men, six to seven yellow-robed men, and more than ten gray-robed disciples.

"Where is he?"

"There was a sound just now?"

"Senior Brother, look! He even destroyed our trap!"

A green-robed man was immediately furious. "How audacious. Who are you? How dare you trespass into my Void Fist Sect's territory!"

Just as he was about to shout again, he suddenly heard a cold voice in the shadow of the flames beside him. "Did you put the traps?"

The green-robed man instantly felt a chill run down his spine. He immediately jumped to the side to avoid it. He turned around to look, but there was nothing on the side. There was no one.

Two yellow-robed disciples and four to five gray-robed disciples actually fell silently.

"Looks like you really did put them there!"

In the next moment, the voice came from the shadows beside him again. The man in green was immediately frightened out of his wits. "You…"

BANG!

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist and abdomen. His entire body was bent into a sharp angle as he flew out in the air and broke a big tree with a bang.

Lin Yan held three iron beast traps in his hand. They were the ones he had snatched from the green-robed man's waist.

"Senior Brother!

H

"Who are you! How dare you hurt someone from the Void Fist Sect!"

"Could it be that you're the person who killed many disciples of the Void Fist Sect?!

II

The other disciples raised their torches and approached, but Lin Yan was quite far away from them, so they couldn't see his face clearly. They only saw a terrifying black shadow. On his back were lumps of bulging shadows, and several knife-like arms were distributed all over his back.

"What a monster!"

"A ghost!"

Lin Yan hid in the darkness and turned a deaf ear. He weighed the three traps in his hand and kicked them hard. Several stones flew out and extinguished the remaining torches.

After a while.

In the dark forest, miserable cries lingered.

Many green-robed and yellow-robed disciples screamed miserably. They were in pairs and stuck their feet into the traps. The sawtooth on the traps was deeply embedded in their flesh and bones. It was extremely painful.

Each trap clamped two legs.

More than ten gray-robed disciples were anxious and hesitant at the side, but from time to time, they revealed gloating expressions..

Chapter 120: Xiaozhi's Sickness and Spirit Marrow

On a broad-leaf tree trunk, he wiped away the blood on his fingers.

...

Lin Yan rushed to Ji Village and arrived at his house.

"Who's there!"

Eldest Senior Brother's face was filled with vigilance as he rushed out of the room. He swept his gaze across the insect saber arms on Lin Yan's back and the shattered jade statue. He revealed a hint of shock.

"Lin Yan?! What, what are these things on you?!"

Lin Yan pulled the rope and unloaded the items on his back. "It's some miscellaneous items I found in the Guangchuan Mountains."

His expression was solemn because the candles in the wooden house were brightly lit. Listening to their breathing, he found that Xie Lingyan, Pang Feiyan, and the others were all there.

…..

"Eldest Senior Brother, something happened to Xiaozhi again?!"

Zang Wei sighed. "1 can't explain. It's a little strange. Go in and take a look."

Lin Yan hurriedly entered the house.

"Lin Yan, you're back?"

Xie Lingyan and Pang Feiyan frowned and stood by Xiaozhi's bed. Xiao Lu sat by the bed and wiped Xiaozhi's sweat with a wet cloth, wiping her tears from time to time.

"Xiaozhi…"

Lin Yan walked to the bed and suddenly trembled. His pupils instantly condensed into a needle. He stood rooted to the ground and could not say a word.

Xie Lingyan thought that Lin Yan was too sad. She stroked Xiaozhi's arm. There was a ferocious white spot on it, like a birthmark.

She sighed and said, "From just now, Xiaozhi's body suddenly froze. Her limbs, cheeks, and back all began to grow these hard white spots that expanded bit by bit."

Pang Feiyan bit her lips. "I-I've already tried everything, but it's useless…"

Lin Yan could no longer hear anything. It was as if he had fallen into an ice hole, and his entire body was bone-chilling.

There were white spots on Xiaozhi's cheeks, arms, and calves.

Some were the size of a baby's palm, while others were scattered. They were spreading and expanding bit by bit like living creatures.

The color of the scar was milky white with a trace of luster, like a piece of white jade…

This was clearly the same luster as the two women's sculptures found in the palace!

The contents of the seven engravings instantly surged into Lin Yan's mind.

Especially in the end, two of the three women turned into jade statues, and one turned into a strange ghost. His eyes suddenly turned red, and an extremely terrifying aura erupted from his body!

No! 1 can't let Xiaozhi fall into such a situation!

Xie Lingyan and Zang Wei's expressions changed drastically as they looked at Lin Yan in shock. They could not believe that Lin Yan could release such a terrifying aura!

Pang Feiyan and Xiao Lu's faces turned pale as they subconsciously retreated, unable to say a word.

"Lin Yan!"

Lin Yan's aura slowly relaxed.

"Lin Yan, don't be anxious. We'll find a way."

Xie Lingyan and the others comforted him.

Lin Yan's face was pale as he said reluctantly, "Miss Xie, Eldest Senior Brother, I want to stay with Xiaozhi alone for a while."

"You…"

Xie Lingyan grabbed Pang Feiyan and shook her head at her. Then, she said, "Okay."

With that, she pulled the few of them away.

Lin Yan sat by the bed and gently brushed the scars on Xiaozhi's arm.

As expected, it was similar to the feeling of jade.

Was Xiaozhi's condition really a kind of illness?

What did she have to do with the earthquake in Guangchuan Mountains?

What did she have to do with the three women on the murals and the people lined up all over the mountains?

His exploration this time had clearly found the right clues.

But the problem was, how could he cure Xiaozhi's illness?

Lin Yan recalled the scene of the soldiers hunting evil ghosts and cutting open their chests to obtain bone items on the third mural.

At that time, he had already reacted. That bone object might be the Spirit Marrow.

He had obtained the Spirit Marrow in Li Qu and the insect monster's bodies. They were cut out from their bodies.

So, could Xiaozhi's illness also be relieved with the Spirit Marrow?

On the mural, the three women fell asleep on the second mural.

Was it the same as Xiaozhi's previous symptoms?

Then, on the fourth painting, they were filled with the soup brewed from the Spirit Marrow and began to turn into jade…

Was it the soup that made them jade-like, or was the soup used to ease their jade-like state?

Lin Yan's head gradually heated up. Countless clues and thoughts surged in his mind like a storm.

His hand had already reached into his pocket and grabbed the Spirit Marrow.

But he didn't dare to take it out.

This was already his only life-saving straw. If the Spirit Marrow was still useless, Xiaozhi would really be helpless!

Especially when he thought about it, even if the murals were really depicting the Spirit Marrow, they had to undergo a series of boiling and replacing before those women could drink it…

The white jade scar was still expanding.

In the end, Lin Yan reached out and shakily took out a Spirit Marrow.

The Spirit Marrow appeared to be a bone fragment with golden leaf patterns on it.

Lin Yan hesitantly reached out and slowly pressed the Spirit Marrow against the scar on the side of Xiaozhi's right forearm.

The moment the Spirit Marrow came into contact with the white jade scar, the golden leaf patterns on the Spirit Marrow instantly lit up!

Immediately after, the place where the Spirit Marrow came into contact with the white jade scar actually revealed the appearance of a wax lump melting, slowly fitting together with the white jade scar!

Lin Yan's eyes lit up. "It's effective!"

However, in the next moment, a hint of dark green appeared at the connection between the white jade scar and the Spirit Marrow!

Like ink dripping into water, the dark green color followed the white jade scar and gradually expanded to the size of a fingernail. In the center of the white jade scar, it showed the texture of a chitin carapace!

Suddenly, Xiaozhi frowned tightly, her small face scrunched up.

Lin Yan tightened his grip and resisted the urge to retract his hand.

The dark green shell was still expanding, as if it was occupying the entire white jade scar.

As it continued to expand, Xiaozhi's reaction became stronger and stronger.

All the muscles in her body tensed up, and tiny veins bulged.

Her hands and feet twitched unconsciously, and the blood vessels in her entire body swelled, as if she wanted to explode.

Finally, her entire body was drenched in sweat. She twitched violently, as if she had been possessed. Her hands and feet smashed the bed board crazily, making thumping sounds.

Retreat!

Lin Yan suddenly pulled at the Spirit Marrow. The Spirit Marrow that had originally melted into the scar was forcefully pulled out by him, forming a sticky wax arc. Then, the dark green carapace quickly shrank and disappeared, fusing into the Spirit Marrow again as Lin Yan pulled it out.

The symptoms all over Xiaozhi's body stopped instantly. She lay quietly on the bed, leaving only her pale face and sweat all over.

The white jade scar on his arm was white and flawless. The Spirit Marrow in Lin Yan's hand had already turned into bones, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Lin Yan felt a huge sense of disappointment and anger. He clenched the Spirit Marrow tightly in his hand. "No! It actually doesn't work!"

The Spirit Marrow could indeed affect Xiaozhi's symptoms, but Xiaozhi had to endure such great pain. Perhaps it would've already killed Xiaozhi before it could resolve Xiaozhi's symptoms!

"Lin Yan, are you alright?!"

Xie Lingyan knocked on the door again. She had been waiting at the door.

…..

Lin Yan seemed to have lost all his strength and sat weakly on the bed.

Xie Lingyan came in again.

"Lin Yan, what happened just now?"

Lin Yan struggled to hold on and displayed the Spirit Marrow. He told them about his failed attempt just now, hoping that they would give him some advice.

"In other words, the Spirit Marrow has an effect on Xiaozhi's symptoms?!"

Xie Lingyan clapped her hands. "Since it's effective, why are you disappointed?

"If one method doesn't work, think of a way to try other methods! Lin Yan, Xiaozhi needs you now. You have to pull yourself together!"

Lin Yan was silent for a moment before taking a deep breath. "Miss Xie, you're right. Thank you…"

Xie Lingyan left again.

Lin Yan took a deep breath and suppressed the hesitation in his heart. He began to think rationally.

"The Spirit Marrow is effective, or rather, it has an effect.

"But during the process, Xiaozhi will be in great pain.

"Also, during the fusion of the Spirit Marrow, a dark green shell will actually appear, just like those insect monsters.

"And this Spirit Marrow was obtained from the insect monster…

"Therefore, the dark green shell is definitely related to the insect monster!

"There's external spiritual matter in the Spirit Marrow…

"The illusion of the Buddhist temple underground back then was enough to show that this external spiritual matter is definitely not as simple as an inanimate object or an aura.

"Could it be this external spiritual matter that caused the Spirit Marrow to grow this shell when it fused into Xiaozhi's body?

"Is it because of this carapace that Xiaozhi is in so much pain?!

"It's a logical deduction. When external objects invade the body, it's like a sword piercing the body. A person will naturally suffer!

"As long as 1 remove this spiritual quality, as long as it doesn't have this spiritual quality…"

Lin Yan suddenly stood up.

This was an extremely superficial question. He should have thought of it long ago. However, he was confused by his concern and was overwhelmed by huge emotions!

He reached into the area where the Spirit Marrow was specially placed and quickly took out a piece of Spirit Marrow that was as dry as dead wood!

This was the Spirit Marrow he had first obtained. It was left behind by the Golden Bodhi Scripture after it absorbed the external spiritual matter. He had always kept it.

As if on a pilgrimage, Lin Yan held his breath and stuck this withered wood-like wreckage to Xiaozhi's arm.

In the next moment, the remains melted like wax like the previous Spirit Marrow and invaded the white jade scar!

"Heaven is merciful!"
