A very light wind swept through the underground palace.
The essence churned.
The "Empress Bird Wing Butterfly," even before breaking free of its cocoon, is already considered an extraordinary life form, naturally carrying extraordinary essence on its body... According to the Extraordinary Iron Law, upon their death, the essence must return to the void.
But at this mont...
The Thunder Realm Walker gently extended his hand, grasping this strand of essence, and drew it into Bai Xiu’s body.
Having done all this, he walked in the opposite direction of Gu Shen while countless flashes of thunder light swept across the front of the underground palace, piercing through the butterfly eggs, giving these extraordinary life forms not a single chance to react... The grand general floated within the underground maze, continually absorbing the scattered essence.
On the other side.
What Gu Shen was doing was exactly the sa as Bai Xiu.
He ensured he reached a safe area before starting to loot the "essence" carried by the butterfly eggs themselves since the battle on the surface was being watched by so many; he couldn’t make a move...
It’s a pity for those dead Empress Bird Wing Butterflies.
The essence they carried was the perfect nourishnt for "Chi Huo"!
Now, this underground palace could be called a treasure trove.
Leaving it all for Little Xiuzi to handle is indeed a bit wasteful.
The essence carried by these butterfly eggs, although small in amount, couldn’t withstand the vast number of the population... This task, though dirty, tiring, and a bit disgusting, was acceptable compared to the gains.
An ocean of fire surged.
Gu Shen continued to burn these butterfly eggs while "Chi Huo" absorbed the essence within these white cocoons.
As he walked, he kept updating the F-section underground map in his Spirit Sea, yet he faintly felt sothing was off...
"Aren’t there too many butterfly eggs here?"
From the Heart Sea ca Chu Ling’s voice: "An Empress Bird Wing Butterfly can lay three hundred eggs in one mating. Of course... these are the data before extraordinary mutation."
After the extraordinary mutation.
These figures no longer held aning.
These large moths... all had burrowed underground.
"One mating, three hundred eggs, and the whole population is about a hundred..." Gu Shen suddenly asked: "The largest one I just killed... was it a male or female butterfly?"
"If their mating organs haven’t changed after the extraordinary mutation... then the one you killed was a male butterfly."
Chu Ling paused for a second as she spoke.
She realized what Gu Shen really wanted to ask.
But she couldn’t retrieve the data from the Holy City Research Institute.
The main system had tightly controlled the Sangzhou Cave.
She could only trace back from Gu Shen’s recent spiritual images for investigation.
And a second later, the investigation result was rather unsettling: "Including those that appeared on the ground... are all male butterflies."
All male butterflies!
Gu Shen’s expression suddenly turned grim as he fixed his gaze at the end of the underground palace, with the raging sea of fire behind him illuminating the whole earth cave, leading into the unknown distance—
Countless butterfly eggs trembled in the sea of fire.
One by one, unable to struggle, they could only stir up the sound of their own heartbeats as they were dying.
The sound was weak but accumulated over ti.
"Thump..."
"Thump..."
At this mont, the entire underground seed to be drumming.
Gu Shen walked towards the end of the underground palace.
The sounds beside his ears beca increasingly clear, not rely the echoes of those dying butterfly eggs.
At the dark end.
It suddenly beca incomparably bright in an instant.
Nearly a million compound eyes opened in front of Gu Shen.
With a "buzz" sound.
Gu Shen’s mind suddenly went blank, and iron-scaled skin stood on end; he realized... he might have encountered so filth.
