Chapter 1977 The Cave World, The Insect Swarm Attacks
"Sir, you are so awesome!"
When Mo Fan returned to the top of Xiao Bai's head, he was greeted by the incredibly adoring gazes of the Shen sisters.
Shen Yueli was a little better, but her face turned red when she looked at Mo Fan, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Shen Fengyao's eyes immediately lit up with admiration, making Mo Fan feel a little uncomfortable.
"Master, I am incompetent and failed to capture that guy, almost putting you in danger. Please punish me!"
Yuan Shan and the white jade skeleton also flew over at the same time.
"It's not your fault. That guy's cultivation was already no weaker than yours, and after consuming the Gu-Transforming Pill, his power has reached the level of a Great Sage. It's no wonder you couldn't stop him."
Mo Fan smiled and shook his head, while smiling at Yuan Shan and saying, "However, through this battle, you have shown me your loyalty, but that is not enough."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shan's heart tightened, and he immediately replied respectfully, "Master, rest assured, Yuan Shan would never dare to have any disloyal thoughts, and will certainly serve you more diligently in the future!"
"Whether someone has ulterior motives or not cannot be determined by words, and I don't believe in that kind of talk. How about I leave something inside you? That might put my mind at ease. What do you think?"
Mo Fan suppressed his smile and stared calmly at Yuan Shan.
He initially had a good impression of Yuan Shan, but during his battle with Wang Xuanqiu, he saw that the guy was planning to escape, which made him change his mind.
Without a doubt, this golden ape had not truly submitted in its heart.
Yuan Shan felt a chill run down his spine under Mo Fan's gaze. After a moment's hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since Master is worried, Yuan Shan is willing to let Master leave a restriction inside his body!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes, suppressed his aura, and appeared to be at Mo Fan's mercy.
Seeing this, Mo Fan smiled slightly, then flashed to Yuan Shan's side and pointed a finger at his brow.
Superpower, spore toxin!
In an instant, Mo Fan extracted a small portion of the poisonous law of the Life and Death Sword, transformed it into spore toxins, and invaded Yuan Shan's body. The toxins circulated through his meridians and quickly spread throughout his entire body.
During this period, Yuan Shan's skin quickly turned black, and a look of pain appeared on his face.
However, as soon as Mo Fan's fingers left his brow, his skin quickly returned to normal, which made him breathe heavily with relief, his forehead already covered in sweat.
"The substance I just placed inside you is called spore toxin. It is completely under my control and is currently in a dormant state."
Do not try to eliminate it, because once you use elemental power to eliminate it, you will immediately activate it, thereby detonating its toxicity.
By the way, this spore toxin has another major characteristic: it can reproduce indefinitely. Once you activate it, with your cultivation level of half-step Great Saint, it will probably only take a short while for it to spread throughout your entire body.
"Of course, if you behave well in the future and gain my complete trust, I will naturally remove this spore toxin from your body."
Mo Fan spoke calmly, but his words caused the three cultivators beside him to show expressions of awe.
"Rest assured, Master, Yuan Shan would never dare to harbor any disloyal thoughts!"
Yuan Shan's face was slightly pale, and he respectfully clasped his hands in a fist salute to Mo Fan.
"If you truly follow me, you may address me as 'Young Master' from now on, just like the sisters."
Mo Fan looked at Yuan Shan seriously for a moment, and then said, "I don't need servants, nor do I lack servants. What I need is a group of friends who can truly serve me and fight alongside me to conquer the world."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shan's expression softened considerably, and he immediately nodded, saying, "Yes, young master!"
Mo Fan smiled slightly upon seeing this, then looked at the two women beside him, only to see that both women closed their eyes at the same time.
"What are you doing?" Mo Fan asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Come on, young master, we are ready. Anyway, we sisters were all rescued by you, and we will follow you for life."
Isn't it just planting toxins in the body again?
"We sisters will never blame you, young master, and we also believe that you would never treat us like that old poisoner Wang Xuancang did." Shen Fengyao bit her red lips and said to Mo Fan with her eyes closed.
"..."
Mo Fan was speechless for a moment, then stretched out his right hand and flicked Shen Fengyao's forehead hard!
"Ouch!"
Shen Fengyao winced in pain, then opened her eyes, looking at Mo Fan with some confusion, "Young Master, what do you mean by this?"
"You've been following me for two days now, don't you know my temperament?"
Mo Fan spoke irritably, then chuckled, "Besides, with your sisters' cultivation levels, what do I have to worry about? Why would I need to implant spore toxins in you?"
Upon hearing this, the Shen sisters looked embarrassed, but secretly they were delighted.
As expected, the young master still couldn't bear to implant that terrifying poison in them.
"Alright, you'll see later what kind of... um... demon I am!"
After Mo Fan finished speaking, he waved his hand and pulled the Soul-Devouring Banner back. Then he shook it at the white jade skull, and the white jade skull instantly disappeared into the Soul-Devouring Banner.
"Let's go, let's go and take a look in that alternate dimension."
"Since so many cultivators from the Wang family have gathered here, there must be some treasures in this alternate dimension."
Mo Fan spoke, and then urged Little White to fly towards that alternate dimension.
And so, Little White carried Mo Fan and the other two cultivators straight into the alternate dimension.
Upon arriving at this space, Mo Fan discovered that it was a hidden paradise, complete with mountains and rivers, and even the ruins of an incredibly vast palace, resembling another world.
However, this place has long since become as desolate as the Void Ruins, devoid of any life.
As Mo Fan and his group traversed the palace ruins, they discovered that a fierce battle had once taken place there, a battle that nearly destroyed the entire place.
"Young master, there's a cave over there!"
Shen Yueli suddenly raised her hand and pointed to a spot in the palace ruins.
Mo Fan immediately flew over with them and stepped inside. He then discovered that the place seemed much more intact than the outside, but there were some signs of battle, and these signs were quite recent.
"It seems that the old ancestor of the Wang family fought here before."
Mo Fan spoke up, but just in case, he didn't rush in. Instead, he used his divine sense to search the entire cave. He then discovered that the cave was actually a treasure vault, but the vault had already been emptied, leaving not even a single spirit stone behind.
Ultimately, Mo Fan and his group had no choice but to leave this space.
As soon as the group returned to Juewuxu, a chilling buzzing sound suddenly filled the air.
The sound was not fragmented or scattered, but a violent wave of sound woven from the flapping wings of billions of insects, like muffled thunder rolling across the sky, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.
"This sound is..."
"Young master! Quickly look around!"
The Shen sisters' expressions changed drastically, and deep fear welled up in their eyes.
Memories of their previous life-or-death struggle with the Burning Spirit Devouring Gold Insects flooded back, and they knew better than anyone how terrifying these seemingly insignificant creatures were.
Everyone looked up and saw that under the sky, endless golden insect shadows were surging wildly, converging into a vast sea of insects that blotted out the sun.
The boundless sea of insects, like a boiling golden torrent, carrying a destructive and ferocious aura, rushed towards them with overwhelming force.
"It's over...we're completely surrounded!"
The two sisters were deathly pale, their bodies trembling slightly.
Even the usually composed Yuan Shan couldn't help but shrink his pupils and gasp for breath.
He was an elder of the Golden Ape Clan and knew a great deal about the Burning Spirit Devouring Gold Insects in the Void Ruins. Looking at the swarm of adult insects that blotted out the sky, the last glimmer of hope in his eyes was completely extinguished, and he let out a desolate and miserable laugh: "These are all adult Burning Spirit Devouring Gold Insects... Their numbers are terrifying."
With such a massive swarm of insects, even a Great Saint Realm expert would find it difficult to escape unscathed. We... are likely doomed today!
