110: The Mysterious Source Insect! A Fortuitous Quest from an Insect Swarm Aggregator!

When Su Lie arrived at the entrance of the Shelter's courtyard, only two of the originally remaining four Little Skeletons were left.

The skeletons of the other two Little Skeletons were blasted into pieces.

Two empty patches had been blown open in the cluster of explosive potato plants ahead.

The two remaining Little Skeletons stared blankly at each other, rooted to the spot.

After Su Lie arrived, they quickly gesticulated and jabbered at Su Liya.

Su Liya listened dumbfounded, then turned to Su Lie and said, "Master! It... they deliberately sought death... their goal was to achieve eternal life in the monument and become Holy Spirits!"

"Ugh! What a damn foolish trick!"

Hearing this, Su Lie couldn't help but curse.

After seeing the explanation of the monument, he had considered this idea himself.

But he quickly dismissed it.

He didn't think the dull Little Skeletons would have such a clever scheme.

Who knew.

There really were such characters among this group of Little Skeletons!

This was simply asking for trouble!

If all the Little Skeletons followed suit and entered the golden guardian monument this way to become Holy Spirits.

Who the hell would help him work and guard the courtyard walls?

"Did I refine you guys just so you could commit suicide?"

Su Lie was furious.

He grumbled and turned to walk toward the golden guardian monument.

He had already made up his mind.

If this method truly worked.

He would rather destroy this thing.

He would not allow this bad habit to infect all the Little Skeletons in the Shelter.

However.

After Su Lie carefully examined the panel of the golden guardian monument.

He finally let out a long sigh of relief: "Thank goodness! Thank goodness!"

The Little Skeletons that committed suicide were not admitted into the golden guardian monument.

There was still only 1 Holy Spirit listed.

Clearly.

Little Skeletons "sacrificing" themselves in this manner would not trigger the special effect of the golden guardian monument.

Su Lie returned to the entrance with a gloomy face and instructed Su Liya: "Liya! Go gather the Little Skeletons who are patrolling and working everywhere, and tell them! Any Little Skeleton harboring the idea of entering the guardian monument by suicide to transform into a Holy Spirit, must abandon..."

"Tell them!"

"If they want to die!"

"They can!"

"They must fight honorably for the Shelter until death!"

"They must die honorably for me, Su Lie!"

"Trying to be cunning! It is absolutely impossible to become a Holy Spirit through trickery!"

"I, Su Lie, do not need Little Skeletons with base thoughts!"

... After he finished speaking.

Su Liya finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went everywhere to relay Su Lie's demands.

The two Little Skeletons at the entrance sighed and calmly resumed digging the soil for explosive potato.

Before long.

Su Liya completed Su Lie's instructions, which finally stabilized the hearts of the Little Skeletons. She also brought three more Little Skeletons to continue the work of digging up explosive potato.

Su Lie looked at the piles of moonlight pearl in the front courtyard, having no intention of continuing the refinement process, and stood up, intending to go inside the Shelter to continue carrying the bed.

Just then.

Buzz!

A Little Skeleton dug out a hole in the ground.

A cloud of red gas floated out from the hole.

The sky outside the courtyard suddenly darkened.

Su Lie simultaneously stopped in his tracks.

A sense of danger arose spontaneously.

This gave him a chilling sensation.

Su Liya, standing at the entrance, and the 5 Little Skeletons currently working, all underwent distortion upon seeing the cloud of red gas.

The Little Skeletons began to grow red hair.

Eyes began to sprout all over Su Liya's face.

The next second.

A holy light flashed on the golden guardian monument.

The distortion on Su Liya, who was standing inside the door, vanished in the blink of an eye.

She only felt as if there was an extra layer of something on her face.

Su Liya didn't dare to think much, and quickly ordered the Little Skeletons outside: "Hurry back!"

She wiped her face while retreating.

Looking closely.

She trembled as she realized that a layer of her facial skin had peeled off.

At this moment.

Su Lie turned to look at the mass of red Mist outside the courtyard gate.

As the Mist pulsed, it transformed into a red eye floating in mid-air.

The 5 Little Skeletons that had grown red hair were now completely out of control. When they looked up toward the entrance, their originally golden Soul Fire eyes had turned red.

And in front of the Shelter gate, waves of red clashed against a sea of golden light.

"Come back!"

Su Lie took out his Mist Pistol, instructing Su Liya while raising the gun toward the outside.

Through his passive Skill Monster Prompt, he saw a name—【Source Insect Secret Demon】.

However, Su Lie could not see the level, HP, or Spirit attribute values of the Source Insect Secret Demon.

At the same time.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Little Skeletons on the city wall launched attacks at the red eye.

"Awoo!"

The Source Insect Secret Demon was struck by the sea of Soul Fire Bullets, letting out a wail, and instantly vanished from the spot.

The light outside the courtyard gate suddenly brightened.

The red hair on the Little Skeletons was ignited by the sunlight.

The red color in their eyes receded, returning once again to their original Soul Fire form.

"Quickly! Come back!"

Su Liya called out again.

The Little Skeletons picked up their shovels and ran toward the door, carrying the freshly dug explosive potato.

After entering the door.

A flash of golden light swept over them.

It was visible that red Mist threads in the shadows of the Little Skeletons' bones were being ignited.

Only when the flames burned out did the Little Skeletons return to their original bright white state.

"What was that? A monster made of insects?"

Su Lie muttered gravely.

He could tell from the changes in the Little Skeletons.

The Little Skeletons were not contaminated by the Mist.

Instead, they had been subjected to parasitize by the insects emitted by the Source Insect Secret Demon.

Otherwise.

Their own holy light would be enough to counteract Mist contamination.

And it wouldn't allow them to be contaminated and controlled instantaneously.

Furthermore, there was the golden guardian monument in the courtyard.

It could exorcise demons and purify.

Su Lie suspected that it was precisely due to the purification effect that some kind of insect carried by Su Liya and the Little Skeletons died.

"Cluck! Cluck! Cluck!"

Just then, the Blazing Flame Divine Chicken walked out of the Pigsty. Its eyes were burning as it looked outside the door, filled with excitement.

"Master! The Blazing Flame Divine Chicken says there is an aggregate of insects outside, and it wants to go eat them!"

Su Liya said this to Su Lie, astonished.

The moment she thought that the recent changes were caused by insects.

She couldn't help but shiver.

Goosebumps covered her body.

Su Lie's pupils contracted: "Don't act yet. I can't even see the opponent's level; clearly, its rank is very high!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

The light outside the door dimmed again.

Just as Su Lie raised his gun and aimed outside the door.

【Buzz!】

【Congratulations, you have successfully triggered an Opportunity Mission!】

【As the saying goes, a common struggle makes for a fast friendship. Your power has won the recognition of the Source Insect Secret Demon.】

【The Source Insect Secret Demon wants to trade two class change divine crystal for 100,000 moonlight pearl with you!】

【Do you agree to this transaction?】

【After completing this mission, the Source Insect Secret Demon will leave this area, and you will receive Mist Points and basic material rewards!】

"Yes!"

Su Lie's eyes lit up when he saw this.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "So it was the moonlight pearl that attracted the opponent... But!... If I hadn't had the ability to resist... it probably would have just killed its way in!..."
