Chapter 1228: Six-Winged Flame Mantis (Second update, requesting everything)

Not far away stood two wild Spirit Beasts shaped like mantises; both were over ten meters tall, their entire bodies a fiery red, with three pairs of wings on their backs as thin as cicada wings.

These are Six-Winged Flame Mantises, belonging to the category of Demi-God Beasts; as long as they reach adulthood, they can attain the Demon King level.

Most importantly, the Six-Winged Flame Mantis is not an ordinary Demi-God Beast.

The reason Li Zhangsheng was surprised was that the two Six-Winged Flame Mantises were currently—mating-_-||; they were extremely wild, having nearly ruined a small patch of forest, and several towering trees could not withstand it, snapping in half.

He originally did not want to waste time and intended to capture both Six-Winged Flame Mantises directly.

However, Li Zhangsheng's heart suddenly stirred as he recalled the special nature of the Six-Winged Flame Mantis, so he continued to hide on the side, watching the intense battlefield.

Crack!

After a long while, the two Six-Winged Flame Mantises finally separated, and then the slightly larger female Six-Winged Flame Mantis bit off the slender neck of its mate.

From beginning to end, the male Six-Winged Flame Mantis did not struggle, as if it were voluntarily sacrificing itself to serve as food for the female Six-Winged Flame Mantis.

Li Zhangsheng did not intervene; for one, the one with Superior Quality was the female Six-Winged Flame Mantis, and for another, this was related to the characteristics of the Six-Winged Flame Mantis.

After the pleasure, the female Six-Winged Flame Mantis would cruelly devour the male Six-Winged Flame Mantis and then enter a state of parturition.

After laying the eggs, the female Six-Winged Flame Mantis would even swallow most of them until only the two eggs it deemed the most excellent remained.

After completing these rituals, the probability of the female Six-Winged Flame Mantis advancing to the Demon Saint level would greatly increase.

It must be said that the Six-Winged Flame Mantis is truly very special.

But precisely because of this, the number of Six-Winged Flame Mantises has always been very small, and this was Li Zhangsheng's first time seeing one.

Although the method is very cruel, the female Six-Winged Flame Mantis is therefore widely welcomed by kings; after all, as long as another male Six-Winged Flame Mantis is found and the ritual is completed, seven or eight out of ten will advance to the Demon Saint level.

After the female Six-Winged Flame Mantis ate its mate, Li Zhangsheng did not continue to wait and signaled for Aixi to attack.

Roar—

Aixi let out a tiger roar and pounced directly at the female Six-Winged Flame Mantis.

The female Six-Winged Flame Mantis was still at the Demon King level, so how could it compare to Aixi? Before Aixi even approached, it collapsed onto the ground, unable to withstand Aixi's tiger might, and fell directly into a Cowering state.

The rest was simple; Li Zhangsheng placed a Temporary Contract on the female Six-Winged Flame Mantis and took it into the Secret Realm to give birth.

"I should still give it to the Bitter King."

Originally, Li Zhangsheng wanted to give the female Six-Winged Flame Mantis to Li Haoqiong, but after thinking about it, he felt it would be more effective to give it to Zhao Yuanqing.

For one, Zhao Yuanqing only had a few years of lifespan left and must advance to a Double-Character King as soon as possible; for another, the faster Zhao Yuanqing becomes a Double-Character King, the more he can help Li Zhangsheng.

Of course, this was also related to Zhao Yuanqing's steadfast character; otherwise, Li Zhangsheng would never have given it to him.

In addition to this female Six-Winged Flame Mantis, Li Zhangsheng would also provide treasures to assist in breaking through, to let Zhao Yuanqing become a Double-Character King as soon as possible and share some pressure for him.

As a veteran king, Zhao Yuanqing's Mental Power had long been perfected; what he lacked were Saint Grade Spirit Pets.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng continued to go deep into the Monopoly Mountain Range.

Without any setbacks, Li Zhangsheng rode Aixi to the depths of the Monopoly Mountain Range, not forgetting to subdue wild Spirit Beasts of Superior Quality or higher along the way.

This was the territory of a Demon Saint-level Golden Lion; according to the map's guidance, the Qionze Blessed Land was nearby.

Why Li Zhangsheng was certain it was the territory of a Demon Saint-level Golden Lion was because this Golden Lion was slapped to death by Aixi, and its corpse became Li Zhangsheng's trophy.

Li Zhangsheng carefully sensed the surrounding spatial fluctuations and soon locked onto the hidden entrance of the Qionze Blessed Land.

Before his eyes was an empty lot, but this was the location of the entrance to the Qionze Blessed Land.

With a thought from Li Zhangsheng, the space before his eyes twisted violently.

Within a few breaths, a closed spatial portal appeared abruptly before him.

Li Zhangsheng did not have a token for the Qionze Blessed Land, but that did not mean he could not open it.

Li Zhangsheng, who could transform into Dijiang, had no low level of attainment in space, and the spatial portal before him held no difficulty for him.

Li Zhangsheng extended a finger and landed it on the closed spatial portal.

In an instant, ripples appeared on the spatial portal, which then slowly opened, revealing a scene of flowing light and color, making it impossible to see the scene inside the Qionze Blessed Land.

Before stepping in, Li Zhangsheng threw his hand out, and the 365 Star Banners returned to their positions, vanishing into the void.

With the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array covering it, it would be difficult to be detected unless the disturbance was too great.

Li Zhangsheng stepped into the spatial portal, and after a familiar sensation of spinning, he appeared on a continent in the blink of an eye.

This was the Qionze Blessed Land; Li Zhangsheng flew into the sky and looked around, his eyes flashing with sharp light as he directly cast the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Secret Technique.

It was, after all, a Blessed Land from the Ancient Period; even with Top-Grade Spiritual Roots present, after losing its master, the area of the Qionze Blessed Land inevitably shrank significantly, and now its area could no longer meet the standards of a Blessed Land.

Even so, many wild Spirit Beasts still lived in the Qionze Blessed Land, and it even contained a Dragon Lair.

Strangely, there were no buildings here at all.

Li Zhangsheng observed carefully for a while and soon understood; it was not that the Qionze Blessed Land had no buildings, but that the buildings had been hidden.

This was like the Fire Crystal Palace in the Fire Flame Secret Realm back then, which was usually in a hidden state.

Li Zhangsheng locked onto the location where the buildings were hidden, but he did not go over immediately, instead flying straight toward the Dragon Lair.

He did not have a token in hand, and he feared that forcing the hidden buildings open would trigger a series of unpredictable dangers; he could guarantee his own safety, but he feared destroying the inheritance.

Before that, Li Zhangsheng prepared to find the "original inhabitants" of the Qionze Blessed Land to understand the situation; the best subjects were naturally the dragons, known for their long lives.

Because the Qionze Blessed Land had lost its master, the dragons in the Dragon Lair had naturally regained their freedom, but for unknown reasons, they could not leave the Qionze Blessed Land.

Soon, Aixi brought Li Zhangsheng to the Dragon Lair.

This Dragon Lair was very large, no smaller than Li Zhangsheng's own Dragon Lair; it stood to reason that it had raised a large number of dragons.

Upon entering the Dragon Lair, Li Zhangsheng discovered that there were only fifty or sixty dragons here, a full half less than he had expected.

However, the types of dragons were somewhat beyond his expectations, as most of them were Gem Dragons, including two sub-ancestral Gem Dragons.

In terms of quantity, the number of Gem Dragons was far inferior to Five-Colored Dragons and Metal Dragons; the key was that Gem Dragons possessed the ability to travel across planes, and the existence of such a large number of Gem Dragons here was very surprising.

However, this was a pleasant surprise for Li Zhangsheng, because as long as he subdued this group of Gem Dragons, he could effectively increase the proportion of Gem Dragons contained in his Dragon Lair.
