723: The death of the Carp General! It brought divine punishment upon him!

In the cave.

Su Lie, who was walking out, suddenly used the Shadow Flash Skill to instantly return to the package beside the campfire.

He immediately used the Immobilization Technique on an object under the campfire.

"Freeze!"

The sound rang out, and a wave of aura rippled outward.

This time, Su Lie's Immobilization Technique actually lost its effect.

This caused Su Lie's heart to jolt.

Clatter!

Immediately after, an Iron Skin bug radiating golden light drilled out from the ground and swallowed the burning fire in one gulp.

This fire was not an ordinary fire, but a spiritual fire converted by Su Lie using Xuanhuang Power.

"Insect Demon?"

A thought flashed through Su Lie's mind, but the sword in his hand was instantly swung out.

Hum!

The Honghe River Greatsword, containing the power of light, slashed at the Insect Demon, but it only stirred up a ripple.

It couldn't even break through the outer skin of this Insect Demon.

Clatter!

The Insect Demon did not tangle with him and drilled back into the ground again.

Seeing this, Su Lie was quick-witted and used the Divine Thief Talent on the Insect Demon.

Hum! Hum! Hum!

In the blink of an eye, three items appeared in Su Lie's hand.

Clatter!

At this moment, the Insect Demon had retreated back into the pitch-black hole.

This hole was about two meters in diameter, with smooth walls, deep, and went straight into the ground.

"It's quite fast!"

Su Lie whispered softly.

He did not immediately give chase.

Because he had already branded his divine sense onto this Insect Demon.

Furthermore, the spiritual fire inside the Insect Demon had been triggered by Su Lie and was currently converting the Insect Demon's power.

Su Lie leisurely tidied up the spoils in the cave: "There are too many of these lifespan pearls! Now that I have life pearls, bloodline orb, and Skill Talent books, I might as well use all these lifespan pearls!"

Hum!

In the blink of an eye.

His lifespan increased by 37,200 years.

He looked at the three items in his hand again.

One was a Rot dagger, one was a ring symbolizing status, and the other was a red gemstone.

After Su Lie checked, these three items were all of god-tier quality.

These items were useless to him.

After Su Lie put the items away, he shouldered his package.

The roaring sound outside was still continuing.

He jumped into the hole himself.

Before long.

After sliding about dozens of meters in the darkness, Su Lie arrived at a cavern hall of this underground karst cave.

It wasn't dark here; instead, there were many fluorescent plants and piles of fluorescent soil that looked like excrement.

These soil piles emitted a scent of fragrant grass.

Su Lie used the Identification Talent on these poop-like things.

[Hum!]

A panel automatically popped up from above.

[Insect Demon Excrement: Red God-level Quality; Excrement after digestion and absorption by the Insect Demon. This excrement is composed of plants and spiritual objects, possesses no pollution, can be eaten, tastes sweet, and carries the scent of fragrant grass. Note: The Insect Demon is a herbivorous and fire-eating insect. While eating plants, it absorbs the pollution contained in the plants, leaving behind non-polluted elemental substances, which are excreted as waste. Note: Because the Insect Demon's excrement has been filtered of all pollution and toxins by the Insect Demon, it is food that can be eaten in this world.]

"Damn! Eating... excrement... I can't accept such a heavy taste!"

Su Lie stood up in disgust.

He continued to track the Insect Demon by following the sensing of his divine sense.

And during this process, he continuously used the Divine Thief Talent.

Hum!

In the blink of an eye, a Skill book appeared in his hand.

Su Lie read it as he walked.

[Skill Book (Control Immunity): Red God-level Quality rule Talent; you can be immune to all control forces at the rule level and below the rule level.]

"Hmm? The Talent in this world is even more precise than the Talent in the Mist Main World!"

After seeing this, Su Lie's eyes moved, and with a turn of his thought, he directly used the Talent.

[Hum!]

[Congratulations on successfully awakening the Red God-level Quality rule Talent: Control Immunity!]

[Note: Since you have already awakened the All-System Immunity Talent, the Control Immunity Talent you awakened in this world will automatically convert into a talent awakening scroll after you return to the Mist Main World!]

"Huh? It can do that?"

Su Lie blinked, raised his hand to grab again, and caught a new Talent.

[Skill Book (Invulnerability); Red God-level Quality rule Talent; your skin is invulnerable, no weapons of rule-class or lower quality can injure you in the slightest.]

"This should be the power that blocked the attack of the Honghe River Greatsword!"

Su Lie whispered to himself.

He awakened this Talent again.

At this time, the Insect Demon had already realized its own weakness.

It did not continue moving forward in the insect hole but stopped and turned its head to look in the direction Su Lie was coming from.

The Insect Demon let out a roar.

Half of its body was already radiating Xuanhuang Power.

And its body had already shown signs of being scratched by the ground.

Hum!

At this moment.

The Insect Demon lost another Skill.

This caused even more sorrowful divine light to bloom in its eyes.

Rumble!

In the blink of an eye, a deafening collapse sound came from the insect hole behind it.

After hearing its desperate, sorrowful cry, other Insect Demons rushed over to collapse the tunnel to block Su Lie, preventing Su Lie from finding the insect hole along their insect paths.

At this moment.

Su Lie stopped not far from the Insect Demon, and two more Skill books appeared in his hand.

He looked at the dust filling the hole in front of him, his mind stirred slightly: "Is this because it knows it will surely die, so it specifically called its kin to cut off the retreat?"

As he spoke.

He looked at the two Skill books in his hand.

[Skill Book (Extraction): Red God-level Quality rule Skill; consume 1000 points of spirit attribute value to extract all pollution and toxic elements from the target resource. Rule conversion: the pollution and toxic elements you extract can be converted into Pollution Orbs.]

...

[Skill Book (Fire Devouring): Red God-level Quality rule Skill; consume 100,000 points of spirit attribute value to swallow any fire and convert it into free attribute points. Rule Fire Immunity: when swallowing fire, you will temporarily acquire the rule of fire immunity.]

...

After reading this, Su Lie laughed: "Good! These two Skills—one can assist me in obtaining clean, non-polluted food in this world, and the other can increase free attribute points! Not bad! Not bad!"

As he spoke.

He awakened these two Skills again.

After completing the swallowing of the Skills.

Su Lie reached out and grabbed at the Insect Demon again.

The Insect Demon let out a wail, its body, which was about three or four meters long, collapsed to the ground, turning into a pile of dirt.

The dirt gradually dispersed, revealing a white insect bone inside.

This insect bone was spherical, with holes on the surface, and a water-blue luster blooming inside.

Su Lie looked at the lifespan and attribute orbs in his hand.

He discovered that the Insect Demon's lifespan was only 10 years.

But it had two types of attributes: life and spirit.

Among them, the life attribute was as high as 100 quadrillion points, and the spirit attribute was only 1,000 trillion points.

"Judging by this, the life in this Trial Taker world does not possess the complete basic four attributes; they are all determined by their own characteristics as to which two attributes they possess! And the attribute values of these attributes are especially high!"

Through his experiences and inspections during this period, Su Lie discovered some important intelligence.

After he used the spirit attribute orb and the lifespan pearl.

He then picked up the insect bone on the ground and used the Identification Talent on it.

[hollow insect bone: red god-tier rule quality; from the Insect Demon, contains 1,000 cubic meters of space. Each time you consume 10 points of spirit attribute to feed the insect bone, you can open the space to take out an item. Rule Space: the hollow insect bone contains space and can store any items and life. Note: This item is a space material and can be directly used as storage equipment. Note: This item does not have a preservation function!]

After reading this, Su Lie's eyes lit up: "Good stuff! Good stuff!"

He immediately followed the information obtained from Identification, and after consuming 10 points of spirit attribute value, he saw the space of the hollow insect bone.

There was nothing inside, it was empty.

Su Lie then threw the items in his hand into the hollow insect bone one by one.

This time, it consumed a total of 1,190 points of his spirit attribute.

"It's not too much!"

Su Lie whispered softly.

He put on his coat, picked up the Honghe River Greatsword, turned around, and walked along the path he came from.

The inside of this tunnel had come to an end, so he could only return the way he came.

Regarding the Xuanhuang Power escaping from the Insect Demon.

Su Lie ignored it, letting it permeate into the soil layer at the bottom of the cave, changing the elements and power in the soil.

When he arrived at the cave entrance again.

The roaring sound outside was still continuing.

However.

At this moment, a shrill roar came: "Ah!"

Accompanied by this sound spreading across the wilderness.

A fishy, foul smell permeated the air.

Splatter!

Immediately after, a rain of blood fell.

The rain of blood corroded the ground into one large pit after another.

In these pits, thin, long lives like worms actually crawled out.

These thin, long bugs were breathing continuously.

Every breath they took would reduce the fishy, foul smell remaining in the air by a fraction.

Su Lie came to the cave entrance in surprise, looked at the insect swarm outside the cave, and used the Identification Talent on them.

[Hum!]

[Purification Bug: Red God-level Quality rule life; usually sleeps in the soil, shrinking into soil particles. Once a large amount of evil spirit pollution appears, it will actively wake up and absorb the evil spirit between heaven and earth. Growth: fission growth; Rule Uncapturable: this life can never be captured by rules and forces below the rule level.]

"Huh? The rule contained in this kind of bug is truly incredible!"

Seeing this, Su Lie's mind stirred, and he used the Divine Thief Talent on this bug.

[Hum!]

A flash of light appeared in Su Lie's hand, and he actually stole a jade piece 5 cm long and 3 cm wide from the Purification Bug.

But the Purification Bug whose power was stolen by Su Lie directly softened into soil particles and even turned into moldy soil particles.

Other bugs knew nothing about this and were still happily breathing the fishy, foul smell in the air.

Only then did Su Lie use the Identification Talent on the jade piece.

[Rule Jade (Uncapturable): Red God-level Quality; rule-class power; after activation, can awaken one rule Talent; Rule Uncapturable: ...]

"Hmm? Is this a type of resource that can obtain Talent?"

Su Lie's eyes lit up, and he immediately used the Rule Jade piece without hesitation.

[Hum!]

[Congratulations on successfully awakening the Red God-level Quality rule Talent: Uncapturable!]

...

"I didn't expect that the resources for awakening Talent are not just awakening scrolls and Skill books, but also this type of resource!"

After seeing this, Su Lie couldn't help but be shaken.

This was the third type of item he had encountered that could awaken Talent.

"Good stuff! Good stuff!"

Su Lie hurriedly used the Divine Thief Talent on the other Purification Bugs.

Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum!

Under his rapid stealing, he obtained one Rule Jade after another.

At this moment.

A roar came from the world outside: "Damn bastard! How dare you kill my Carp General! Do you really think this Honghe Venerable is just a decoration?"

Boom!

In an instant, Su Lie heard the sound of a river rolling and felt infinite water vapor.

This power was surging toward a piece of airspace behind the cave.

Waves of holy power fluctuated in this airspace.

This power was also very strong and was continuously dissipating the power of Honghe Venerable.

The two seemed evenly matched.

Su Lie didn't care about anything and was still stealing Rule Jade on his own.

Suddenly.

A sense of crisis came from his divine sense.

Immediately after.

A thick dark cloud came over the cave where he was.

This caused Honghe Venerable and that foreign life who were fighting behind the mountain to stop simultaneously.

Honghe Venerable looked at the thick thundercloud in front of him with a livid face and couldn't help but whisper: "Which damn bastard triggered the heavenly punishment again! Bastard! My Great Wilderness Mountain has been cultivated for so many years with such difficulty, and it actually... actually... Damn it! Could it be an outsider again?"

A Trial Taker of the Archangel Race flying opposite him brightened his eyes slightly: "Haha! Which fellow Daoist is in this vicinity? I am Meixu of the Archangel Race! Brother, please come out and join me in slaying the deity here. Let's seize his cave dwelling together, use this place as a foundation, and develop outward!"

These words angered Honghe Venerable so much that he wailed: "How damn arrogant! You bunch of outsiders are truly bold, actually plotting to seize my power and position! You are dead! You are dead!"

As he spoke.

Honghe Venerable took out a large seal and shouted loudly: "Honghe River, rise!"

Also at this moment.

The heavenly punishment cloud above Su Lie's head was about to drop a purple lightning bolt the thickness of an arm...
