Chapter 1302 - Chapter 1302 Chapter 1401 Fire Spirit Silkworm

Chapter 1302: Chapter 1401: Fire Spirit Silkworm Chapter 1302: Chapter 1401: Fire Spirit Silkworm Fang Lin became alert upon seeing this person, who clearly wasn’t benevolent, and at this moment, the ice frog was even prostrating before this individual, appearing very docile and respectfully handing over the ancient spear it had brought.

The person took the ice-encased ancient spear and waved it around twice before turning their gaze toward Fang Lin.

It was only then that Fang Lin managed to get a clear look at the person’s face; it turned out to be a woman, although her appearance was quite plain, with pale skin and a frail figure.

Yet it was this woman whose body was crawling with all sorts of insects, and the sound of them moving made one’s scalp tingle and hard to watch directly.

Fang Lin frowned and said to the person, “Hand it over.”

The woman looked at Fang Lin indifferently, even with a hint of disdain, and said, “You are about to die, yet you still think about getting your weapon back.”

Fang Lin sneered, “It seems those insects just now were all under your control?”

“They are all my children. Unfortunately, you burnt them all with a single fire. You do have some skills, but you are destined to die,” the woman in the black robe said.

“Are you from Hidden Kill Hall?” Fang Lin asked with a frown.

“You guessed wrong. I am just an ordinary person,” the black-robed woman said indifferently.

Fang Lin was about to question further when suddenly the ice frog opened its mouth wide and a blast of freezing air surged toward him.

Fang Lin activated the four Ancient Lamps of Flame God, with the flames interweaving together to form a fire dragon that collided with the surge of cold air.

This clash was truly a confrontation between ice and fire, extremely intense, causing plumes of steam to rise.

The ice frog, a natural breather of cold air, had not yet become a Giant Demon King; although its body had a strong cold presence, it was not infinite.

Perhaps it could withstand the flames of one or two Ancient Lamps of Flame God, but with all four lamps activated, the intensity of the fire was terrifying.

After holding out for a while, the ice frog eventually succumbed. As its cold air weakened, the flames headed toward it and the woman in the black robe.

Suddenly, a red silkworm appeared on the woman’s left shoulder, only as thick as a finger and rather inconspicuous.

But at the appearance of this little red silkworm, the flames were drawn toward it and were all devoured.

After swallowing the flames, the aura of the red silkworm grew stronger, and wisps of firelight spread around it as if it had received a significant boost.

Seeing this, Fang Lin’s heart stirred; he recognized the red silkworm. It was a very rare Heavenly Earth Spirit Seed, known as the Fire Spirit Silkworm.

The Fire Spirit Silkworm was born from fire, able to devour fires of the world to strengthen itself. The stronger and more abundant the fire it consumed, the faster the Fire Spirit Silkworm would grow.

Once a Fire Spirit Silkworm grew to the level of a Demon King, it could traverse any place with a fire source at will, and if it grew into a Giant Demon King, it could release various types of flames, becoming extremely formidable.

Therefore, the Fire Spirit Silkworm was a sought-after spirit creature for many Martial Artists and Pill Refiners; if one carefully nurtured and won its loyalty, when the Fire Spirit Silkworm grew up, it would become an immense asset.

However, Fire Spirit Silkworms were extremely rare, and one could only hope to encounter one or two in some ancient and mysterious places with fire sources.

Even if the Fire Spirit Silkworm was found, it would be difficult to raise it to maturity because the Fire Spirit Silkworm has incredibly harsh requirements for its living environment. If it goes three days without consuming flames, it would wither and die.

Many people, even if they managed to acquire the larval stage of the Fire Spirit Silkworm, lacked sufficient experience to raise it successfully.

In his past life, Fang Lin had seen the Fire Spirit Silkworm and was quite familiar with this kind of Heavenly Earth Spirit Seed. The Pill Saint Palace back then had raised three Fire Spirit Silkworms.

In this lifetime, however, it was Fang Lin’s first encounter with the Fire Spirit Silkworm, but it seemed that it had not yet matured and was still in its larval stage.

But even as a larva, it was capable of consuming flames. It had even devoured the Skyfire released by The Ancient Lamp of Flame God.

“It’s actually a Fire Spirit Silkworm, kid, this is a fine thing indeed,” the Old Dried Corpse said.

Fang Lin nodded, “I know it’s something good, but it looks like it’s not so easy to get my hands on.”

“With your current abilities, there shouldn’t be any difficulty in dealing with her. Snatch the Fire Spirit Silkworm away, you can use the Skyfire to feed it, and it will soon grow into a Demon King, which would be extremely beneficial for you,” the Old Dried Corpse said, seemingly quite interested in the Fire Spirit Silkworm as well.

Truth be told, Fang Lin was also very interested in the Fire Spirit Silkworm, and if possible, he would strive to obtain it.

“Your lamps aren’t bad. If you give them to me, perhaps I can let you leave alive,” the woman said looking at the four Ancient Lamps of Flame God in front of Fang Lin.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin revealed a smile, “I am also interested in the Fire Spirit Silkworm on your shoulder. You can hand it over to me, and I will let you leave alive.”

Now it was getting interesting. Fang Lin had his eye on the other party’s Fire Spirit Silkworm, and the woman was fixated on Fang Lin’s Ancient Lamps of Flame God. Both sides wanted to get their hands on what they desired.

“That’s really funny, actually wanting my Fire Spirit Silkworm? You really are foolish. Have you not realized the danger you’re in?” the woman in the black robe said with a cold laugh, her words full of scorn and mockery for Fang Lin.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin also smiled, “It seems you do not realize how formidable I am.”

“You’ve already had your treasure taken from you, and you still dare to boast?” the woman in the black robe laughed and deliberately waved the spear frozen in ice she held.

The corner of Fang Lin’s mouth curved slightly, “You might want to hold onto that a little tighter, otherwise it’s about to fly away.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than the thick ice on the surface of the ancient spear cracked and shattered. The woman’s face changed color as she felt an overwhelming killing intent burst forth from the spear.

“How can this be?” the woman in the black robe cried out in astonishment, utterly unable to hold onto the spear as it broke free from her grasp and flew back to Fang Lin.

Fang Lin caught the ancient spear and stowed it in his Nine Palace Bag, looking at the woman in the black robe with a smirk.

At this moment, the woman could no longer laugh; her face looked somewhat ugly. She had thought that she had seized one of Fang Lin’s treasures, not expecting it to be so powerful that the frost of the Ice Frogs couldn’t hold it.

“Even so, your life is in my hands, and I can kill you right now if I wish,” the woman said with great certainty.

Fang Lin’s face showed an even deeper mocking smile, as he lightly tapped his foot on the ground and said, “How many Ice Frogs have you hidden underground? Three or five? Do you plan to freeze me solid when I’m unprepared?”

As these words were uttered, the woman’s gaze shifted slightly. Indeed, she had commanded five Ice Frogs to lie in wait under the mud beneath Fang Lin, ready to burst out and envelop him in frost at any opportunity.
