Inside a tomb in the creep area.
Chu Yunsheng suddenly opened his eyes. What happened earlier was just as illusory as a dream. However, the slab that slowly rose at the bottom of the tomb also reminded him that everything was real.
“Bring it up here!”
Through baby Min’s consciousness, Chu Yunsheng gave the tomb a simple order. With the help of a long tube, the slab was sent all the way to Chu Yunsheng.
This time, the slab didn’t seem to have a lock. Chu Yunsheng just opened it straight away and took out the map and the energy tube. The slab was then slowly turned into powder and disappeared.
The energy tube was thrown into the storage talisman straight away. Nowadays, the storage talisman he had was a level-three talisman. He no longer needed to worry that the talisman would explode after it used up all its energy. However, as Chu Yunsheng stored more and more monsters’ bodies, even the second storage talisman had also almost run out of space.
What he was concerned about the most was the map. He didn’t believe what the divine realm had told him. However, it didn’t matter much to him whether he believed it or not. Besides, the permission he had couldn’t access any useful information he wanted. To them, he was just a human that had a special ability, and that was all.
The reason why he needed a map was for one of the candidates, who he was familiar with. It was Yu Xiaohai’s cousin Tan Ning, who he had just met not long ago.
He was also very confused. Tan Ning was a weak girl, she was not awakened nor did she have any special abilities. Apart from her pretty face, Chu Yunsheng didn’t really find anything special about her.
According to the silhouette in the mirror slab, it probably had something to do with the hidden information in the genetic fragment inside her gene. However, Chu Yunsheng didn’t understand those things and the silhouette in the mirror slab would not tell him anything more.
But Chu Yunsheng didn’t really care that much. He didn’t want to waste time on studying those things. Now that the method of leaving the yellow mountain area was in front of him, he just needed to make sure that the heaven’s messenger successfully returned, then, his mission would be finished. At that time, he could get hell out of this place and carried on his journey.
He didn’t want to stay in this place a single day longer. Whether it was the aliens, the huge birds or the silhouette in the mirror slab, Chu Yunsheng wanted to get as far away from them as possible.
To be honest, he didn’t want Tan Ning to become the heaven’s messenger.
As an ordinary man, she would not attract much attention. All she needed was nothing but some food. With his ability, he believed that he wouldn’t have any problem taking care of her for Yu Xiaohai.
But once she became a heaven’s messenger, then she would attract everyone’s attention. She would be in a much more dangerous situation at that time. He couldn’t fight with many people, he did not have that kind of time and energy either, so if that really was the case, then her life would be in God’s hand.
If the silhouette in the mirror slab was not lying, from a psychological point of view, the task she needed to complete was extremely heavy. It was so heavy that even he himself did not dare to face it!
So he needed to find Tan Ning as soon as possible, and tell her everything she needed to know. He did not like to impose his idea or thoughts on someone else because he thought that his thoughts might not be in line with others, so he needed to let her decide by herself.
But he would only give her two options, if she chose not to become the heaven’s messenger, then he would take her with him; but if she wanted to become the heaven’s messenger, then he would leave her and carry on his journey without her.
…
Chu Yunsheng glanced at the watch on his wrist and stopped thinking. This time, he had only spent three hours in the divine realm. The land outside the tomb was still covered in darkness and the insects were still chirping non-stop in the creep area…
The tomb had also stopped producing the new meatballs for three hours. The liquid energy that had been sent up from the ground below was split into two by Chu Yunsheng. One was used to feed the baby Min, and the other one was used to produce culture fluid.
Based on Chu Yunsheng’s observation three days ago, the liquid energy that his tomb gathered from the outside and the ground below was roughly enough to produce 40 red-shelled insects every day.
This was an extremely scary breeding speed. It meant that the tomb could produce 14,000 insects in a year! And the most important thing was that it was just one tomb!
No wonder when he saw the insect’s world through the golden-shelled insect’s memory back in Jin Ling city, the whole planet was almost drained by them.
Of course, this calculation was just based on energy consumption. In fact, a red-shelled insect needed three days to hatch. The time he had was just a little more than three days, so it was just enough for him to find out a red-shelled insect’s hatching period.
He had also done a rough calculation using an absorption talisman. Hatching a full grown red-shelled insect would consume the energy equivalent to three units of Yuan Qi, and that surprised him!
However, he could only harvest 2 units of Yuan Qi from every single red-shelled insect once they were killed, even if he calculated the energy losses after the insect died, the total losses were up to one-third of the total energy!
On the other hand, based on those figures, he was able to find out that after taking out the energy consumed by the tomb itself, the energy his tomb gathered could be converted into 120 units of Yuan Qi every day!
Comparing to his own cultivation status, with his Rong Yuan body second substage’s ability, he was only able to store 60 units of Yuan Qi in his body, and if he did not use absorption talismans or he just used the cultivation method to gather Yuan Qi, the fastest time he could achieve was 4 days, which was 15 units of energy a day.
Although comparing it to what he could do in Yuan Tian stage one, it was already an incredible speed, comparing it to the tomb, the speed he had was very sad.
The tomb could gather 8 times more energy than him every day! And this was just a small tomb, what if it was the gigantic tombs he saw in the insect’s world?He did not know what it would look like.
He had also calculated the energy usage based on other insects as well, soon, he got a list of data:
A green-shelled insect would provide 18 units of Yuan Qi, but it would require 27 units of Yuan Qi to hatch it. With 120 units of Yuan Qi, it would only allow him to hatch 4-5 of them a day.
A golden-shelled insect would provide 36 units of Yuan Qi, but it would require 54 units of Yuan Qi to hatch it. With 120 units of Yuan Qi, he could only hatch 2 a day.
And there were worker worms… the long worms that spit fire and purple flame monsters…
But this type of calculation was definitely not accurate!
At least, when he was in Jin Ling city, apart from many red-shelled insects, he did not see that many golden-shelled insects and green-shelled insects. Something must have restricted the hatching speed of the higher-level insects.
After the careful observation, Chu Yunsheng finally confirmed it was the culture fluid that slowed down the hatching speed.
Once the supply of culture fluid was stopped, the hatching process of the higher-level insects would also stop immediately, no matter how much liquid energy he had.
It was due to the existence of the culture fluid, plus there was no way for a tomb to hatch just one type of insect, hence, the higher-level insect’s number was greatly limited.
In terms of the specific numbers, Chu Yunsheng couldn’t calculate it just yet. He just took over the control of the tomb in less than 4 days, and there was enough culture fluid, so he still needed to wait.
But before his Min was fully grown, he needed to use all the resources that this tomb gathered to feed the Min and produce culture fluid. Besides, the other two tombs were also able to hatch enough new insects,
Once the Min was fully grown, then he would use it to control the entire swarm. Unlike now, he could only use his purple flame monster to suppress the swarm.
Chu Yunsheng estimated that when he came back from the castle of Snowstorm, the amount of culture fluid would be definitely enough to support him to reach Rong Yuan body stage three!
Before he went to sleep, he also practiced the 16 diagrams he got from the divine realm. It was a set of physical combat techniques. Although it was less powerful than his sword during the actual combat, it could be quite helpful when he didn’t have any weapon with him.
He was already very tired, so he didn’t have the energy to use the rule of the ancient book to modify the combat technique.
After a quiet rest, on the next day early morning when there was a hazy shimmer outside the tomb, he took out some old clothes from the storage talisman and put it on.
Taking off the balaclava mask, and looking at the small broken mirror again, he let out a hollow laugh. There was no way Edgar would be able to recognize him now.
He then took out a dirty bed sheet, warped around a few clothes and carried it on his back. He made himself look like a refugee who had just escaped here.
According to the map that the silhouette in the mirror slab provided, his first target was at a corner of the castle of Snowstorm, but Tan Ning was in the center of the castle.
Chu Yunsheng summoned a golden-shelled insect and crawled into the back of his golden-shelled insect, and then slowly moved outside…
The castle of Snowstorm was located in the west of the yellow mountain area, Chu Yunsheng was in the south, so there was still some distance for him to travel.
On the way, he met a group of refugees, and when he was thinking about if he should join the group to get into the castle, those scrawny refugees quickly flocked towards him like a pack of hungry wolves. They then quickly snatched his bag, and ripped it open.
“Fucking old man. He doesn’t have any food!” A skinny woman who had a rather intimidating appearance threw away Chu Yunsheng’s dirty bed sheet and cursed.
“Motherfucker! Stop waisting my time, quickly move that old fuck here! I have not eaten any meat for a very long time. Quick, quick, set up the campfire!” A skinny man with a mustache said loudly.
Then the refugees around Chu Yunsheng instantly changed the way they looked at Chu Yunsheng as if they found something delicious.
“You want to cook me?” Chu Yunsheng said coldly as he took out a pistol from his pocket and pointed at a young man’s head, who was trying to restrain him.
