Chapter 537
Suddenly, the crunching sound of footsteps on snow came from afar.
The sound of howling wind and snow, mixed with the strange sound of footsteps on the snow, gradually reached Xia Ning's ears from afar.
Xia Ning frowned slightly, then made a hand seal, and her figure quickly blended into the surroundings.
A moment later, a petite figure came walking through the snow.
Ji Ruyan glanced around at the scene, her eyes filled with some doubt.
"Are you sure? This place... really is a good spot to store that thing?!"
"Hmph! Although there isn't a single living being here, my judgment was correct! The life force here is the densest! This place is the perfect breeding ground for the Zerg!"
"Looking across the vast Tianyuan region, there is no area that can compare with the life force in this area!"
Hearing the worm inside her speak with such certainty, Ji Ruyan stopped arguing.
She then stretched out her slender hand, and instantly, a bizarre tumor filled with the stench of blood appeared in her palm.
The tumor looked disgusting and had tentacles that were constantly wriggling.
If you look closely, you can even see tiny insect eggs faintly visible beneath the surface of this tumor.
Hiding in the shadows, Xia Ning stared intently at the female cultivator in front of her, whose movements were strange and who was talking to herself. An inexplicable unease welled up in her heart.
But when she saw the strange tumor in Ji Ruyan's hand, her originally calm eyes suddenly became turbulent.
The familiar scent emanating from the tumor... Xia Ning would never forget it!
Over the years, she and her disciples from the War Hall have spent a great deal of effort searching for and annihilating countless insectoids hiding in the Northern Region.
She knew all too well the aura emanating from the fleshy tumor in the female cultivator's hand!
"This growth...is it related to the Zerg?!"
"And this female cultivator..."
Xia Ning narrowed her eyes slightly, a chilling light flashing in them.
"This is a worm that I created by consuming one-third of my energy. I've hidden it here, and it will continue to absorb the primal power of the Abyss over time until it completely devours the primal power of the Abyss!"
"By then! All the primal power of the Abyss that it has devoured and absorbed will be enough to transform us into the second Queen of the Zerg!!!"
"Similarly, it's also the life-saving measure I left for the two of us!"
"If something happens to the two of us, even if our souls and bodies perish, it can bring us back to life and give us a second life!"
Ji Ruyan stared at the tumor in her hand, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.
"Is it really that bizarre?! Can it really give us a second life?"
"Of course! When have I ever lied to you!"
“From the moment you merged with me, we have been inseparable. It would do me no good to scheme against you!”
Ji Ruyan was finally relieved.
"The reason I chose this place is not only because this area has the densest life force in Tianyuan, but also because it is very secluded."
"If we set up an array here to hide the crickets, they would be very difficult to detect."
Ji Ruyan nodded, and then, following the instructions of the worm inside her, she began to set up an array to hide the worms.
Xia Ning, who was hiding in the shadows, witnessed all of this. The Frost Sword in her hand exuded a chilling aura, as if she was about to attack Ji Ruyan at any moment.
However, after much deliberation, she ultimately did not take action.
The female cultivator before her was behaving strangely, and Xia Ning was now certain that she was definitely a spy from the insectoid race.
She wasn't confident she could kill him if she acted rashly.
