229: Chapter 66 Shan, Lei, Blood Covenant (Part 1)_1 229: Chapter 66 Shan, Lei, Blood Covenant (Part 1)_1 Yin Zhu and his panions were lucky enough.
Not long after they set out into the cold of the Northernmost Wilderness, they came across a small hillock.
Although this hill, similar to a mound, was no more than a hundred meters tall, it was sufficient for digging out a cave to rest temporarily.
The dinner was made anew.
The Northernmost Wilderness was too cold.
Although their bodies were covered with dust, they now couldn’t clean themselves.
Fortunately, the three girls were fairly clean.
An Qi’s strength was so formidable that the dust hadn’t settled on her before being dispersed by her powerful Douqi, while Sura and Haiyang had been cushioned by two insects beneath them and protected by Yin Zhu, so they had accumulated very little dust.
Yue Ming was mostly shielded by Chang Hao and Ma Liang.
Dis and Perkins went hunting for wild animals again, anger still burning within them—who knows how many beasts nearby would be unlucky this time.
Inside the newly dug cave, Yin Zhu was sitting at the very back.
His most important task now was to try municating with the two Gold Armor Forbidden Insects.
One reason was to see if there were any more of their kind, and the other was to understand them more deeply.
After all, Gold Armor Forbidden Insects were rank Ten Divine Beasts.
Just because they were reliant on him now didn’t mean they would remain so once they grew up; rank Ten Divine Beasts weren’t easy to control.
Based on Zi’s understanding of the Gold Armor Forbidden Insects, even though they were larvae, they had already possessed a certain level of intelligence.
Even if they couldn’t speak yet, they could municate through their spirits.
As soon as they entered their growth period, these rank Ten Magical Beasts would immediately be able to transform into human form, without the need to be as strong as a rank Nine.
This was the advantage of rank Ten Divine Beasts and an important factor distinguishing them from rank Nine Magical Beasts.
However, Gold Armor Forbidden Insects had one characteristic: according to the memories left by Zi’s ancestors, unless they were fully mature, Gold Armor Forbidden Insects absolutely refused to transform into human form, and no one knew why.
The two Gold Armor Forbidden Insects lay on the ground, nibbling on the porcupine meat they had brought earlier, looking quite content, seemingly having already forgotten the dangers they had just encountered.
Yin Zhu patted their soft, smooth bodies, watching them eat with greasy faces, and found it hard to imagine that such frail bodies had released those fierce Elemental Bullets.
How could he municate with them?
Yin Zhu tentatively released his spiritual power, attempting to establish a connection with the two Gold Armor Forbidden Insects.
However, he was soon disappointed.
The Gold Armor Forbidden Insects’ Spiritual Imprints were entirely internal, and the spiritual power he emitted couldn’t penetrate the fragile bodies of the Gold Armor Forbidden Insects.
Although their defensive power was weak, their resistance to mental forces was extremely strong.
Their bodies were like thick colloidal masses, pletely protecting their own Spiritual Imprints within.
What to do?
Yin Zhu fell into deep thought.
The intelligence of the two Gold Armor Forbidden Insects was lacking.
It was difficult to municate with them through speech, and spiritual munication was impossible, leaving no way to understand their situation.
The two Gold Armor Forbidden Insects had an astonishing appetite.
A rather large porcupine disappeared in no time under their deposition.
One of the Gold Armor Forbidden Insects wriggled over to Yin Zhu, nudging him, then lifted its upper body and hummed a few times.
“Hmm?” Yin Zhu was jolted from his thoughts and looked at the Gold Armor Forbidden Insect in front of him, smiling and saying, “Little guy, what are you doing?
Still hungry?”
The Gold Armor Forbidden Insect shook its head vigorously, extending two soft limbs resembling tentacles from its fleshy body, waving them frantically a few times, then making humming and chirping sounds, shaking its head and wagging its tail, its two pale gold eyes filled with an intoxicated expression, looking extremely ical.
The other Gold Armor Forbidden Insect also wriggled in front of Yin Zhu, doing the same thing as its panion.
Listening to their humming, Yin Zhu suddenly realized and couldn’t help but feel a mix of mirth and helplessness.
These two little things wanted him to play the zither!
Could it be that, after eating their fill, they wanted to listen to a lullaby?
A tenderness welled up in his heart.
With a flash of light, he took out the Haiyue Qinhui Zither and placed it across his knees; playing the zither for them wasn’t an issue, and it was a good practice for him too.
As he plucked the zither strings, the ethereal “Exquisite Dream” began to drift through the cave, the melodious sound spiraling and echoing.
As soon as the zither music began, the two Gold Armor Forbidden Insects became quiet, their four little eyes staring at Yin Zhu.
They gently swayed their soft and elastic chubby bodies, as if dancing in acpaniment to Yin Zhu’s zither music.
Haiyang chuckled and said, “They really are interesting.
Yin Zhu, could you let me join you for a duet?” She also knew the piece “Exquisite Dream,” and it was the very one she had been practicing recently, trying to immerse her emotions into it.
Hearing Yin Zhu play, she too felt the urge.
Yin Zhu smiled slightly, “You’re wele to join, I’d be honored.”
A glimmer of light danced in Haiyang’s hands, and her ancient-looking zither materialized on her lap.
She pressed her hands gently on the strings, and as Yin Zhu finished a section, she began to move her fingers, playing along.
Haiyang’s ancient zither skills were undoubtedly excellent.
Although her understanding of the music was not parable to Ye Yinzhu, who had been immersed in music for sixteen years, she was definitely one of the outstanding talents in the Divine Music Department.
Under Ye Yinzhu’s lead, her zither sounds, as clear as splashing jade, seamlessly matched with Ye Yinzhu’s deep and chanting ancient zither, making the two instruments, which were originally difficult to play together, resonate even more movingly.
As Ye Yinzhu played, he said to Haiyang, “Feel the deep meaning of the music with your heart, and think of nothing else.” With that, his left hand assumed the perching phoenix preening feathers position, and his right hand the luan and phoenix in harmony, intensifying the bass of the zither.
Heartstrings and zither strings became one in an instant, bringing Haiyang into that wonderful melody with him.
Music munication was a sublimation of the soul.
When Haiyang’s heartstrings merged into the beautiful ensemble melody under the guidance of Ye Yinzhu’s zither, she found that she could feel Ye Yinzhu’s heart, as well as her own heart.
Ye Yinzhu’s heart was so pure in the music, without a single flaw.
The emotions of “Exquisite Dream” filled the space between their connected heartstrings, and every subtle note drew their hearts closer together.
This marvelous feeling was even more touching and intoxicating than any sweet nothings.
Just as Haiyang was pletely immersed in the wonderful melody, Ye Yinzhu suddenly discovered that, beyond the heartstrings connecting the two of them, there were two faint spiritual forces that seemed to have also merged into the zither music.
However, they could not find the true path and were gently vibrating along with the melody.
Amidst his brief surprise, a flash of inspiration came to Ye Yinzhu’s mind, and he subconsciously opened his heartstrings, carefully guiding the two delicate spiritual breaths.
He merely drew these two spiritual forces beside his own heartstrings, without affecting Haiyang or being noticed by her.
Yes, his judgment was correct.
Those two spiritual forces belonged to the two Gold Armor Forbidden Insects.
At the moment when their spiritual forces first melded with Ye Yinzhu’s heartstrings, there was some panic, but under the forting harmony of Ye Yinzhu’s zither and heartstrings, they gradually calmed down.
They fully indulged in the enjoyment of the zither music as if absorbing something, clinging to Ye Yinzhu’s heartstrings, filled with dependency and joy.
“Exquisite Dream” soon came to an end, but Ye Yinzhu did not stop there, nor did he switch to another piece of music.
He let the melody restart from the beginning.
Meanwhile, his heartstrings quietly merged into the two pletely open spirits.
The unobstructed spiritual connection, through the vibration of the zither strings and heartstrings, became the bridge for munication with the two Gold Armor Forbidden Insects, allowing his spiritual power to effortlessly integrate into their spiritual worlds.
He sensed their spiritual imprints and the memories within their spirits.
It was the snowy Northernmost Wilderness, where two gold figures appeared amidst the cold rocks.
They trembled, not from cold, but from fear.
They were two five-meter-long giant insects covered in dazzling gold armor, their round bodies looking clumsy.
Yet, their large golden eyes were filled with panic.
One of the golden insects had an enlarged belly, and aside from fear, its eyes also showed pain.
Just then, a loud dragon’s roar sounded in the sky, and a giant dragon appeared midair.
Its entire body radiated a milky white glow, with white scales unlike those from any of the Seven Dragon Cities.
Around its not too large body spread a rainbow-like elemental aura.
A pair of eyes, filled with excitement and cruelty, was fixed on the two gold insects below, and a powerful energy atmosphere had already begun to gather around it.
Nox, that was the Giant Divine Dragon Nox!
Ye Yinzhu, immersed in the memories of the Gold Armor Forbidden Insects, immediately recognized the identity of the white dragon.
The two gold insects were undoubtedly adult Gold Armor Forbidden Insects.
A piercing shriek came from the mouth of the normally-bellied Gold Armor Forbidden Insect.
Its cumbersome body bounced sharply, shielding its mate.
It charged up and circles of gold halos surged from within.
Opening its mouth, a milky white Elemental Bullet over a meter in diameter burst forth like a meteor and stormed towards the Giant Divine Dragon Nox in the sky.
A look of disdain flashed in the Giant Divine Dragon Nox’s eyes, “Remnants of the Gold Armor lineage, today shall be the day of your annihilation.”
The Elemental Bullet exploded in front of Nox, and a terrifying elemental aura swarmed in an instant.
At that moment, however, Nox’s full attributes dramatically drained the air of everything around, and as the Elemental Bullet exploded, a circle of rainbow light appeared on him, pletely engulfing the power of the explosion.
