Chapter 106: Xue Chiluo: I Couldn't Control Myself

"What a precious treasure!" Xu Yunrui exclaimed with delight. "Life Source Crystals of the Insect Race are rarely stored even within the Insect Nest. Most are consumed when the Mother Insects and Shell Insects grow and break through. I never expected that Great Shell Insect to have secretly hoarded such a treasure."

Although these two small stones were only the size of quail eggs, the life energy contained within them was immense!!

If the opportunity arises in the future, they can be used as the primary material to refine high-grade healing elixirs; a single pill equals an extra life!

"You gave this treasure too generously. Rest assured, I, Xu Yunrui, keep my word and will certainly not tell anyone you took items from that Great Shell Insect's lair." Xu Yunrui said with a solemn expression.

Su Hanlin quickly made his stance known as well.

Having made his stance known, he only needed to secretly absorb a portion of the life energy within this Source Stone before breaking through to Foundation Establishment; when his body was being reshaped during the breakthrough, he could effortlessly reshape his new eye.

If he didn't make his stance known, perhaps Xue Chiluo would give both Life Source Stones to Xu Yunrui.

Su Hanlin thought happily to himself: Truly, when opportunity comes, one cannot stop it even if one tries!

"Eh, someone else is coming." Xue Chiluo, without a second word, drove the main root bearing the dark black crystal ring into the flowerpot. The remaining side roots pretended to scratch at the soil, leveling the earth in the flowerpot before retracting completely.

Xu Yunrui and Su Hanlin each took their own Life Source Crystals and hid them.

Soon, a young cultivator ran over in a hurry.

"Xu Yunrui? So you are here? The City Lord has asked Xue Chiluo to go out and reposition that Great Shell Insect, leading it into the final battlefield."

"I came to see Xue Chiluo. I feel an instant kinship with Xue Chiluo. I intend to make friends with Little Blood." Xu Yunrui said.

"I've heard that all instant kinships and desires to make friends are just drooling over my body." Xue Chiluo replied immediately upon hearing him speak.

Xu Yunrui: How did you figure that out?

Ahahaha!!

The newly arrived cultivator laughed until he nearly fell over.

Even Su Hanlin smiled with his lips pressed together.

"Where exactly did you hear these words?" Xu Yunrui couldn't help but ask accusingly.

"I can't tell you." Xue Chiluo said.

"Let's go out and walk the Great Shell Insect first. We can discuss the issue of making friends later." Su Hanlin said, suppressing his laughter. Having finished speaking, he picked up the flowerpot and prepared to go downstairs.

The newly arrived cultivator laughed until his mouth went crooked. "Xue Chiluo, you're good. If you keep clapping back like that a few more times, you'll have Xu Yunrui doubting life itself. My name is Lu Jing, you must remember me." Seeing Su Hanlin set off, he spoke out directly.

Hmph!

Xu Yunrui let out a heavy snort and followed Su Hanlin.

Lu Jing followed last, his laughter booming loudly.

Xue Chiluo reappeared in the Great Shell Insect's line of sight; at this moment, the Great Shell Insect had already lost several pieces of hard armor, exposing the pink flesh areas beneath the armor.

Green insect bodily fluids also oozed out in scattered drops as the hard armor shattered.

One of the Great Shell Insect's large teeth had been chopped off.

Although it still stood resolutely, it gave the impression of being weakened to a certain degree.

As soon as Xue Chiluo appeared, it once again attracted the Great Shell Insect's attention.

Its eyes fixed straight on Xue Chiluo.

"Ssssss..." The Great Shell Insect suddenly hissed at Xue Chiluo.

Su Huchen quickly ran to Xue Chiluo's side.

"What is it saying?" Su Huchen instinctively felt the Great Shell Insect was not saying anything good.

"It says it will give me a chance at immortality; as long as I jump into its mouth right now and fuse with it!

Hmph, I won't fall for it. Ancestor said that whenever anyone says they want to fuse with me, to become one with me, it means they want to eat me!

That insect looks at me with eyes full of malice."

Upon hearing this, Su Huchen immediately praised, "Your Ancestor is absolutely right; in the future, you must listen well to your Ancestor."

Ssssss...

"That insect is attacking." Xue Chiluo said again.

"How could it attack so quickly?" Su Huchen was shocked.

Xue Chiluo thought to itself: Because I told it I had wiped out all its secret hoards. It said it wants to kill me.

Watching as the Great Shell Insect, like a madman, charged over with killing intent surging.

Su Huchen, without a second word, picked up the flowerpot and ran.

Thus, the Great Shell Insect was led for another walk.

Xue Chiluo enjoyed the swift wind on the flying sword, ahem, the sensation of being whipped by the wind; the leaves rustled and trembled.

However, this journey was short; before long, the Great Shell Insect was lured into a new ambush.

As soon as the Great Shell Insect entered, City Lord Xu raised a long blade with strange serrations along the edge. Then he leaped into the air and slashed down ferociously at the Great Shell Insect's head.

That silver streak of blade light, like a bolt of lightning, directly split the Great Shell Insect's skull, causing the broken fragments to fall straight to the ground.

Then Xue Chiluo zipped away, landing directly on the ground beneath that fragment, and sucked fiercely.

One could see that fragment, which was fully four or five meters high and over two meters thick, instantly shrivel into dust.

Xue Chiluo sucked again, taking the dust away as well.

The Great Shell Insect let out a sharp, piercing cry of "Sss!", and anger made it raise its broken head high; several large claws struck heavily at Xue Chiluo on the ground and City Lord Xu in the air.

The attacks of those claws were so fast they created afterimages.

This was an explosion, and an explosion of extreme speed and strength!!

City Lord Xu escaped in a very wretched state.

Before he escaped, Xue Chiluo escaped first.

City Lord Xu, with disheveled hair and a wretched appearance, grabbed Xue Chiluo who had just run back and demanded: "Who told you to run over and suck dry the remains of its skull?"

"It was too fragrant; Luoluo couldn't control myself." Xue Chiluo said grievously. "It's really not my fault; the moment I smelled that scent, I charged up."

City Lord Xu: "..."

Bao Junyi, while directing the crowd to surround and exterminate the shell beetles, also leaned in to listen to the commotion.

As a result, he overheard a conversation between a person and a Luo.

He simply could not hold back his laughter and burst out laughing.

Xu Chengzhu glared at him with displeasure, then said to Su Huchen: "You must send it back to me safely first. It cannot remain here; otherwise, once the nest on the shell beetle's back is split open, won't this little one crawl right in to suck?"

"Can't I have another suck? That big insect's head smells too good; I really want to stay," Xue Chiluo said.

"Leave immediately!" Upon hearing this, Xu Chengzhu's face instantly changed color and he shouted wildly.

What could Su Huchen do? He could only stifle his laughter while holding the flower pot and flying away.

He had to deliver it quickly; otherwise, he would miss the final decisive battle.
