Ten days later…
Getting up early in the morning, Liu Mufeng made a soup in a pot with the chicken blood accumulated over the past few days and a stalk of the mature Golden Blade Herbs in the yard.
“Mufeng, what are you doing? It smells so bad.” Jiang Xu asked suspiciously, looking at the black things in the pot.
“This is the waste bug’s favorite. I’ll pour that bottle of paralysis solution in a while. When we get to the jungle, take this pot out and the waste bug will find it on its own.” Liu Mufeng knew the origins of the Primordial Spirit Insects very well, from their evolution history with the Five Elemental Spirit Insects to their preferences, living environment and the group life of the Primordial Spirit Insects. Liu Mufeng found a lot of related books to understand them. It could be said that he knew them like the palm of his hand.
“That group of bugs is really strange. They actually like this kind of thing.” Jiang Xu said helplessly, pinching his nose.
“I’ll just watch it here, you go to the yard to get some air, and we’ll leave when this is over.” Looking at Jiang Xu, who looked disgusted, Liu Mufeng asked him to leave first.
“Okay, then I’ll wait in the yard.” Nodding, Jiang Xu ran out of the kitchen straight to the yard.
Looking as Jiang Xu turned and ran away, Liu Mufeng smiled helplessly.
Standing in the yard, looking at the rows of extremely long Golden Blade Herbs, Jiang Xu couldn’t help but twitch his lips. He felt that Mufeng was really a powerful spiritual planter. He had grown these Golden Blade Herbs in the yard in just ten days. If Mufeng had a single spiritual root, his ability to cultivate spiritual plants would definitely be stronger. As a result, his strength would definitely be more powerful as well.
‘Ah, what a pity.’ Thinking of this, Jiang Xu sighed again and again.
“Why are you sighing?” Liu Mufeng smiled and looked at Jiang Xu while walking out of the kitchen.
“Ah, no, nothing? Did you fix that stinky thing?” Jiang Xu asked.
“Yeah, it’s cooked. I’ve already poured the paralysis potion into it. The small stew pot is in my storage ring. We can go.” Looking at Jiang Xu, Liu Mufeng said with a smile.
“En.” Jiang Xu seemed very happy after staying in this small yard for almost a month and finally being able to go out for activities.
“Remember, there is only one Queen in the swarm of waste bugs. This Queen is the strongest among the swarm, and its body is three times larger than that of other waste bugs. There are probably eggs too, they’re as big as quail eggs. The group of waste bugs is also divided into grades. The high-level swarm has one thousand to two thousand waste bugs, and the Queen’s strength can reach nine stars in the Spiritual Realm. The medium level swarm has five to eight hundred waste bugs, and the Queen’s strength can reach eight stars or seven stars in the Spiritual Realm. The lower grade swarm has three hundred to two hundred waste bugs, and the Queen’s strength is the highest in the Spiritual Realm of six stars. Our goal is the lower level swarm. The strength of the first two groups is too high, and their number is too large. We can’t deal with it.” Looking at Jiang Xu, Liu Mufeng explained carefully.

Jiang Xu’s footsteps paused as he heard this and looked at Liu Mufeng suspiciously. “How come you know so much?”

“Ah, it’s called making a plan and then executing it. No wonder you have to contract the waste bugs. It turns out that you already know the situation.” Looking at the fully prepared Liu Mufeng, Jiang Xu appreciated him three more points. He felt that Mufeng was more mature and calmer than himself in comparison. Sometimes he even felt that Mufeng did not look like thirteen at all.
“Well, my strength is low. So it’s better to know more about these demon beasts. However, now that I have your help, I have a higher chance of successfully contracting one.” Liu Mufeng smiled. He felt that he was very fortunate to meet Jiang Xu.
“Don’t worry, leave it to me.” Jiang Xu said with a smile, patting his chest.
“Well, this is for you. If you see the Queen Bug, you will have to trap it on the net.” With that, Liu Mufeng handed the beast trap to Jiang Xu.
“En!” Nodding, Jiang Xu took the beast trap.
After walking for almost half an hour, the two finally arrived outside the forest in the back mountain.
“The forest is dangerous. You must follow closely behind me.” Jiang Xu drew his sword and took the initiative to walk in front.
“En!” Nodding, Liu Mufeng accepted his protection.
The two carefully stepped into the forest. Looking at the towering trees, the wild flowers and the weeds that could be seen everywhere on the ground, Liu Mufeng felt it was very novel and exciting. As a modern person, he had seen many artificial forests, but this was the first time he had seen such an ancient forest.
Looking around on the grass, Liu Mufeng successfully found a spiritual plant seedling. He dug out the spiritual plant and put it into his storage ring. Then he followed Jiang Xu and continued to move forward through the dense habitation.
The two searched for a long time on the outskirts of the forest and finally found a giant banyan tree. According to what was written in the book, the Primordial Spirit Insects liked to live in tree holes, and they liked banyan trees the most.
“There is a tree hole in this tree. I just don’t know if there are waste bugs in it.” Stopping, Jiang Xu turned to look at Liu Mufeng.
“You’ll know if you try it.” With that said, Liu Mufeng took out a small simmering pot of golden blade herbs and chicken blood soup from his storage ring, put it under the banyan tree and along with Jiang Xu, he hid behind a big tree and hid his breath.
The two of them had waited for about ten minutes behind the tree when they saw the Primordial Spirit Insects the size of fingernails flying out of the tree hole.
“They’re coming out!” Turning his head, Jiang Xu sent Liu Mufeng a voice transmission through his divine sense.
“Don’t worry, only a dozen or so just came out. This is just for inspection. The big troop hasn’t come out yet.” Glancing at Jiang Xu, Liu Mufeng also used voice transmission.
“En!” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed.
Sure enough. It didn’t take a while after the twenty-odd Primordial Spirit Insects had made a round of inspection. Then, when it had determined that there was no danger, swarms of Primordial Spirit Insects flew out from the tree hole. They all flew into the stuffy pot like a swarm of bees and began to feast on it. They ate the delicious food Liu Mufeng prepared for them.
Seeing the Primordial Spirit Insects flying into the small simmering pot, Jiang Xu gave Liu Mufeng a thumbs up. He thought, ‘Mufeng is really powerful. This time, he knocked down a bunch of waste bugs.’
“Only one hundred thirty came out, and there are more.” Looking at Jiang Xu, Liu Mufeng continued to transmit his voice. Even a low-level swarm should have two hundred to three hundred Primordial Spirit Insects. That is to say, there are still at least seventy Primordial Spirit Insects left in the tree hole. Moreover, the Queen and her male drone have not appeared yet.
The two of them waited patiently for another stick of incense time, and another group of Primordial Spirit Insects flew out of the tree hole.
Liu Mufeng was ecstatic when he saw that the Queen, surrounded by other insects and much bigger than the other spiritual insects, finally appeared. Jiang Xu was also thrilled. “That six-star Spiritual Realm, the fat one is the queen, right?”
“En, it’s her!” Liu Mufeng nodded.
Hearing Liu Mufeng’s words, Jiang Xu immediately took out the animal trap and threw it directly at the Queen.
“Buzzz…”
The queen and a dozen other Primordial Spirit Insects were covered by the giant net. The other Primordial Spirit Insects screamed anxiously, but the more than a hundred insects in the small simmering pot could not move at all.
Jiang Xu took out a wine cup from his storage ring, and called out to the Primordial Spirit Insects outside the net from behind the tree. Then more than fifty Primordial Spirit Insects outside the net were immediately put into the cup by a powerful force.
“You’re amazing!” Liu Mufeng looked at Jiang Xu adoringly beside him, thinking, ‘When can I be so amazing as you!’
“Mufeng, go and contract the Queen. Otherwise, these fifty or so bugs will die if they stay in my cup for too long.” Jiang Xu urged anxiously.
“Okay!” Nodding, Liu Mufeng immediately ran to the queen bug to perform the contract network.
Although the queen and a dozen other Primordial Spirit Insects were bound in the net, they still dragged the big net and flew in the air. Their strength was not low. Seeing Liu Mufeng running over, the Queen immediately ordered her subordinates to counterattack. They took the net directly as one and knocked Liu Mufeng out.
“Damn it!” With a low curse, Jiang Xu immediately released his own cultivation, suppressing the Queen and all the waste bugs in the net.
Jiang Xu was a nine-star in the Spiritual Realm, but the Queen only has a six-star in the Spiritual Realm. Her strength was much lower and was not Jiang Xu’s opponent. She was easily suppressed by Jiang Xu. The Queen bug weakly fell directly from the air in a slump and couldn’t get up again.
Seeing this, Liu Mufeng got up from the ground and hurried to contract the Queen. This time, it was exceptionally smooth. Liu Mufeng successfully established a master-servant contract with the Queen without being attacked again.
“Buzz, buzz...” ‘Humph, a four-star Spiritual Realm, it’s too embarrassing to form a contract with him!’
Now that the contract had been established, on the part of Liu Mufeng’s consciousness, he could see the spiritual mark of the Queen bug. When a successful contract had been established, the master and pet would now be able to communicate through divine consciousness.
Hearing the Queen’s words, Liu Mufeng touched his nose awkwardly. “You are a Primordial Spirit Insect. From now on, I will call you Xiaoyuan! You may not be able to become a spiritual beast in your entire life if you live in this forest, but if you follow me, at least you still have this chance.” With that said, Liu Mufeng untied the animal trap and released Xiaoyuan and her subordinates.
“You? Can you really help me?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Xiaoyuan asked uncertainly.
“Of course, we are master and servant, and we both win and lose. Your business is mine.”
“Okay, that’s fine then.” Buzzing twice, Xiaoyuan reluctantly landed on Liu Mufeng’s shoulder. Liu Mufeng opened his animal raising bag and put the swarm of Primordial Spirit Insects into the bag. However, Xiaoyuan disliked the small bag and was unwilling to go in. Liu Mufeng didn’t force her and let her stay on his shoulders.
“Jiang Xu, thank you. If it weren’t for your help, it would not have been so smooth.” Although Xiaoyuan’s strength was not too low, but for Liu Mufeng, the more than two hundred Primordial Spirit Insects would be a problem.
“You’re welcome. Let’s go back. That guy was buzzing just now. What did she say to you?” Jiang Xu asked curiously after glancing at Xiaoyuan on Liu Mufeng’s shoulder. The pet and the owner could communicate, so the owner could hear the pet’s words, but others couldn’t.
“Ah, nothing. She said you are amazing.” Liu Mufeng didn’t want to tell Jiang Xu that his pet was disgusted with her master.
“Oh, that’s it!” Nodding, Jiang Xu believed it to be true.
“Master, you really can lie. Your companion is indeed very powerful, but you are too bad.”
Liu Mufeng had black lines all over his forehead when he heard her.
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
Hahaha this queen is really proud! I like her already
Also the part [there are also quails] shouldn’t it be “The eggs are as big as quail eggs”? I think that’s what the original text meant
Thank you dear. I also thought about that, but later pages said, they’re only the size of grapes.. (are they the same size as quail eggs? facepalm help me pls..my negative braincells are stuck on green grapes lol) okay will change first then come back to it when I get to that chapter. 🙂
Large grapes and smaller quail eggs have some size relativity.
And the queen immediately drags LMF for filth x’D
