Chapter 1164: Strange Direction

At this moment, Shadowless suddenly stopped devouring the eggs and let out a sharp shriek before charging at those hatched Spirit Devouring Bugs.
Some Spirit Devouring Bugs already started to mature and some even grew wings. After they saw Ye Mo and them, they were going to swoop over, but when Shadowless let out the sharp shriek, they all quickly retreated.
But Ye Mo had a feeling that it seemed one Spirit Devouring Bug was faster and smarter. It didn’t fly in the same direction as the others. It chose another direction and flew off.
How was this newly hatched Spirit Devouring Bug so smart? Ye Mo didn’t think much of it and seeing that Shadowless was going to chase after them, Ye Mo forcefully called it back. Shadowless wanted to devour more eggs but was stopped by Ye Mo.
Ye Mo was scared this guy would fall into a slumber again.
He didn’t let Shadowless pave the way as although the Spirit Devouring Bugs’ eggs would move to the sides, they were too slow.
So, he just used his heaven flame to pave the way. Shadowless was on his shoulder and after Ye Mo burned out a path and Shadowless released its chi, no Spirit Devouring Bugs dared to come over. After they walked out for a long while and the Spirit Devouring Bugs couldn’t sense Shadowless’s chi, then they dared to close up and keep lurking.
Without Shadowless, Ye Mo would have no time to rest, but with Shadowless, Ye Mo could sit down and rest when he was tired.
Six hours later, as Ye Mo and them went deeper and deeper, the Spirit Devouring Bugs’ eggs moved faster and faster. It was clear they were about to hatch and there were some Spirit Devouring Bugs flying around.
The further he went inside, the more flying Spirit Devouring Bugs there were. No wonder that body condensation state was eaten, there were ones that could fly here.
But Shadowless was on Ye Mo and they didn’t dare to come near at all.
After another half a day, Ye Mo saw explosions and spirit chi waves ahead. Ye Mo saw three cultivators sitting in a defense formation disk trying to attack all Spirit Devouring Bugs that entered.
The Spirit Devouring Bugs were dense and clustered, forming layers and layers, trying to break the defense formation disk. Ye Mo could only see three cultivators trying to clear the Spirit Devouring Bugs that were meters thick.
But as soon as they destroyed a layer, more Spirit Devouring Bugs would go up. It seemed endless, more and more Spirit Devouring Bugs surrounded them as time went on.
Ye Mo suddenly thought of a strange question – where did the essence spirit of the cultivator who just died go? The Spirit Devouring Bugs just hatched, they couldn’t devour essence spirit.
Body condensation state essence spirit was much stronger than hollow spirit state cultivator. Hollow spirit state and below, their essence spirit would mostly break after being killed except for those few with strong essence spirit. But body condensation state essence spirit had a certain level of self protection capability. If the essence spirit got away and found a body, it could slowly become a spirit cultivator.
It was very hard for spirit cultivators to live, but those who survived killed people invisibly. It was hard for cultivators to defend against that. Despite this, many cultivators hoped to encounter high level spirit cultivators as they had high level spirit cleansing beads.
The three cultivators were the triangle eyed cultivator, the yellow robed one, and one that never spoke. That skinny cultivator had disappeared.
They were really fast indeed. Ye Mo and them had to walk for a full day before seeing them.
When Ye Mo saw them, they also saw Ye Mo and them. That triangle eyed cultivator immediately screamed out in shock, “How come you guys are fine?”
But he immediately saw Ye Mo’s heaven flame and immediately had a greedy look that quickly disappeared. He called out, “Friends, help! Hurry up and annihilate those Spirit Devouring Bugs.”
Ye Mo was dazed, how was there someone as stupid as him? Who did he think he was?
Of course Ye Mo wasn’t going to help, he was even afraid that Shadowless would affect the Spirit Devouring Bugs so he moved away.
As soon as Ye Mo moved away, the three cultivators began to worry. Those Spirit Devouring Bugs that retreated a little due to Shadowless moved up again.
“Wait, heaven flame friend, I’m from 9-star sect God Wind Valley. Help me burn these bugs and I, Wu Gai, will remember your favour,” the yellow robed cultivator said.
Ye Mo didn’t seem to hear it, so what if he was from the God Wind Valley? If he was from Heaven Demon Sect he might go help, but this time God Wind Valley just sent a cauldron filling state cultivator to help him. Clearly they just wanted him to concoct pills, they had 5 truth realisation state cultivators.
So Ye Mo didn’t have a bad impression of them but not much gratitude either. Plus, he really disliked the triangle eyed cultivator. How could he save them?
The triangle eyed cultivator saw this and rushed out of the formation disk like crazy, wanting to stop Ye Mo and them, but after just a few meters, he was surrounded by countless Spirit Devouring Bugs. His body shield cultivation essence and magic artifact were like paper and instantly broken.
Ye Mo then saw another strange Spirit Devouring Bug flying away in another direction and immediately understood. He signaled Shadowless to chase.
Shadowless devoured that Spirit Devouring Bug and its body grew like a bubble.
Ye Mo was shook, he wasn’t afraid of Shadowless exploding but that it would sleep again.
But luckily Shadowless didn’t sleep, it instead wobbled around satisfyingly before landing on Ye Mo’s shoulder again and again. Its stomach also sagged down quickly.
Even though Shadowless was Ye Mo’s, he was amazed at its’ digestive abilities.
Ye Mo knew that Shadowless didn’t just devour a Spirit Devouring Bug but also that triangle eyed’s essence spirit. That triangle eye clearly attached his essence spirit to a Spirit Devouring Bug and wanted to escape and turn into a spirit cultivator.
That strange Spirit Devouring Bug that flew away before also had an essence spirit attached to it.
Ye Mo even took out Thing and had a read. He found that cultivators beyond hollow spirit state who were devoured by spirit devouring bugs could indeed attach their essence spirit to a Spirit Devouring Bug as long as their essence spirit wasn’t damaged.
But it also said that if his essence spirit wasn’t powerful to a scary extent he would lose his own will after attaching to Spirit Devouring Bugs. It would become a Spirit Devouring Bug that knew magic. It would be countless times more powerful than ordinary ones but it wouldn’t become a spirit cultivator.
Ye Mo put Thing away and took a cold breath in. He thought the keeper of Spirit Devouring Bugs just wanted to own these Spirit Devouring Bugs, but he had such a grand plan.
If these Spirit Devouring Bugs devoured thousands of cultivators, what a powerful force would that be?
Ye Mo ignored the two remaining cultivators’ plea for help and quickly took them to leave here. It didn’t matter what the owner of these Spirit Devouring Bugs wanted, if he didn’t have a certain level of power, he didn’t need to worry.
But suddenly Ye Mo stopped. He saw everyone look at him and he asked, “Have you realized something? We chose a different direction than them, how come we can see them here?”
