Chapter 343: Great Formation Eliminates the Monster

Han Li didn't carefully study these scattered particles, but after searching the vicinity, he was sure there were no omissions, and then began to consider how to deal with the giant mantis.

He didn't want to let this monster beast go; after all, not to mention other things on its body, those forelimbs were definitely rare materials for refining magic tools in the cultivation world.

As for the idea of capturing and subduing this monster, Han Li thought about it for a moment and then gave it up.

Because he knew very well that any monster beast that could be driven by a cultivator was one that had been placed under restrictions since childhood and tamed little by little. Wanting to take a powerful spirit beast that wasn't raised by oneself as one's own was simply a daydream.

Thinking of that Spirit Beast Sect cultivator, it was also because he lost his body and became another person that he couldn't control the giant mantis. Otherwise, once such a monster beast was tamed, it would be loyal for a lifetime, never leaving, and more loyal than a human.

As for the matter of going to report to the seven-sect coalition, Han Li thought about it and still couldn't be sure whether what the Spirit Beast Sect cultivator said was true or false, so he planned to delay here for a few days to see the situation before deciding.

After all, his speed was very fast, and even if he was a few days late, he could still arrive at the seven-sect camp on time.

Therefore, Han Li spent a day secretly setting up the "Inverted Five Elements Great Formation" in the dense forest not far from the mountain cave.

This time, Han Li didn't just rush to set up a part of the great formation like in the Imperial Palace battle, but completely set up the entire great formation, and its power was naturally incomparable to before.

During this period, he saw the giant mantis go out to forage again.

This time it actually brought back a huge black tiger, which made Han Li click his tongue in wonder for a long time.

You must know that he was seeing a black tiger for the first time, and it was clearly not an ordinary beast. It was just a pity that such a rare species fell into the mouth of the giant mantis and could only be a meal.

After making complete preparations, Han Li sneaked into the mountain cave at noon.

But after only a short while, he flew out of the cave rapidly on the Spirit Wind Boat, heading straight for the direction of the great formation.

The black shadow chasing closely behind was naturally the giant mantis that had been alarmed by Han Li.

Because the great formation was set up very close, Han Li flew out of the mountain cave with his front foot and entered the coverage of the great formation with his back foot. Although the mantis monster beast had a certain level of intelligence, how could it understand the formation? It easily fell into Han Li's trap and was trapped in the formation.

For the next two days, Han Li let the giant mantis run wildly in the Inverted Five Elements Formation, fully exerting the formation's illusionary effect of trapping the enemy, limiting it to this area of several mu.

It wasn't until two days later when the monster beast was somewhat exhausted and wanted to lie in the formation and stop moving that Han Li released many puppets to harass the monster from outside the great formation, making it unable to rest for a moment.

This mantis monster beast belonged to the variety with super high attack but average defense, and it didn't dare to let the puppets' attacks get close, so it had to keep waving its two mantis arms to protect its whole body.

In this way, after only half a day, the monster beast couldn't hold on anymore and began to be hit by the puppets. Although the injuries were not serious, it was clear that its physical strength was exhausted. At this time, Han Li had also rotated the spiritual stones driving the puppets five or six times.

Seeing that the time was about right, Han Li raised the treasure talisman in his hand—that small yellow knife with a handle—and under the cover of the puppets' attacks, it pierced the giant mantis's head, killing it in the great formation.

Seeing the success, Han Li walked to the side of the monster beast's corpse with difficulty hiding his excitement, and then took out the giant silver sword to cut off its pair of extremely sharp forelimbs.

Then he held great expectations and felt around in the mantis's abdomen little by little.

He hoped that this monster beast was a Level 5 monster beast, so he could harvest an exceptionally precious monster core.

Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on Han Li's face, but it immediately became strange. When he pulled his hand out of the corpse with suspicion, there were actually several oval-shaped things of the same size in his hand, white and covered with some bloodstains.

"Monster beast eggs?" Han Li muttered to himself in astonishment.

Even if he was confused, he wouldn't mistake these things for monster beast inner cores.

But Han Li's surprise didn't end there, and then he felt seven or eight more out of the mantis's belly. Adding the previous ones, there were more than ten.

Han Li looked at these egg-sized things and couldn't help but smile.

This was truly an unexpected joy!

But immediately he thought of something, and suddenly frowned, pointing a finger at a white egg and closing his eyes to sense it.

Not long after, Han Li's expression turned bad. There was no sign of life in this egg at all; it was clearly a dead egg.

Such a situation was common among monster beasts.

After all, monster beasts were not ordinary insects or wild beasts; how could they produce offspring so easily?

Han Li had a gloomy face and checked the remaining eggs one by one. They were all dead eggs, which made him lick his lips, feeling extremely depressed.

Han Li, who was secretly angry, wanted to burn these eggs with a fire, but after hesitating, he took out a jade box and collected them properly.

"This giant mantis is not an ordinary monster beast; even if they are dead eggs, maybe they have some wonderful uses!" Han Li thought with some unwillingness.

After removing the giant mantis's pair of gray wings, Han Li turned the monster beast's corpse into ashes and flew back to the mountain cave.

Although there was little hope, Han Li still wanted to see if there were any other gains?

After entering the cave and checking it, Han Li was stunned.

In the corner of the mountain cave, Han Li actually found a skeleton covered in a gray robe, with an intact storage bag hanging at its waist.

Han Li held the storage bag, his heart pounding violently.

He didn't need to ask to know that this skeleton must be the remains of that Spirit Beast Sect cultivator. He actually didn't store the storage bag elsewhere before his Primordial Spirit left his body. This was truly a surprise for Han Li!

Han Li naturally didn't know that because the Spirit Beast Sect cultivator's injuries were too severe, his body was about to perish, so how could he take care of his affairs? He only had time to wrap up the "Green Brilliance Sword" and condense the small half of the spiritual energy in his Golden Core into a green pill before hurriedly leaving his body with his Primordial Spirit.

After all, if he was late, his Primordial Spirit would perish along with his body.

Han Li was naturally extremely curious about this storage bag of a Core Formation stage cultivator.

He barely suppressed the excitement in his heart, extended his spiritual sense into the bag, and began to check the items inside carefully.

However, after Han Li's spiritual sense had completely circled inside, Han Li almost fainted from anger.

In such a large storage bag, there were actually only bottles and jars, most of which were labeled with the food of some monster beast or insect, which Han Li couldn't use at all. The other small half was slightly better, being insect samples of various kinds, also labeled with the names of the insects.

Han Li sensed it slightly, and the insects in the bottles were actually mostly still alive, which surprised Han Li greatly.

No one had raised them for several years, yet they were still alive; their vitality was truly tenacious!

As for the high-level talismans and the magic tools and treasure talismans that Han Li urgently needed, there wasn't a single one in this storage bag, which left Han Li speechless for a long time.

Fortunately, Han Li finally found a green jade slip at the very bottom of the storage bag, and the content inside made Han Li very moved.

Inside were the insights of this Spirit Beast Sect cultivator on cultivating strange insects. Not only did it introduce thousands of strange insects that Han Li had never heard of, but it also had some secret methods for cultivating and driving insects. What interested Han Li most was that he had actually ranked them according to their power, which made Han Li, who had seen the "Golden Back Monster Mantis," secretly surprised!

Han Li read with great interest for a long time before withdrawing his spiritual sense from the jade slip. After pondering for a while, he began to compare the insect samples in his hand with the strange insects introduced in the slip.

As a result, the more Han Li looked, the more dissatisfied he became!

Han Li didn't ask what other uses these insects had for now, but their rankings were all too low! Actually, there were only two kinds that ranked in the top one hundred, and they were both at the end of the list.

Most of them were in the two or three hundreds!

Han Li didn't know that if these complaints of his were heard by that Spirit Beast Sect cultivator, he would definitely point at his nose and curse! Where were these strange insects easy to collect? Not to mention the top one hundred, even the top three or four hundred were rare varieties in the world, all of which he had spent hundreds of years of effort to snatch and rob.

... ===== CHAPTER 344 =====

Han Li did not know that if these complaints of his were heard by that Spirit Beast Sect cultivator, the man would definitely point at his nose and curse him! How could these exotic insects be so easy to collect? Not to mention one hundred, even the top three or four hundred were rare varieties seldom seen in the world, all obtained through hundreds of years of painstaking effort and forceful seizure.
