Chapter 74 - Thousand Source Bug



Chapter 74: Thousand Source Bug

The next day, before dawn, Xu Ning had already woken up from his sleep.

Xu Ning had only slept three hours.

But three hours was enough for him now.

Due to Xu Ning’s pneumatic realm strength, even if he didn’t sleep for several days in a row, his body functions would not deteriorate too much.

The improvement of his internal skill realm itself was a process of breaking through limits of his body.

After Xu Ning got up, he went to the front yard to wash his face with cold water.

Tao Qingping hadn’t gotten up yet, so Xu Ning was careful not to make much movement.

Tao Qingping had been quite tired recently. Not only did he complete tasks for Xu Ning, but as a guard, he had his own assignments, so his workload was much heavier than that of Xu Ning.

After washing his face and returning to his room, Xu Ning was not in a hurry to change clothes.

There was still an hour before he had to go to the meeting in the commander’s room.

After everything was cleaned up, Xu Ning walked to the table and picked up a ceramic pot.

This ceramic pot was not big, only the size of a fist, with a few small holes pierced on the lid.

Xu Ning was careful when he picked up the ceramic pot, as inside was the Thousand Source Egg that Liu Yijian had previously gifted to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning had learned a lot about the Thousand Source Egg from Wei Zicheng and Wei Binglin.

Thousand Source Eggs would hatch on their own. There were no requirements for the incubation environment, unlike ordinary insect eggs, which required a humid environment.

The breeder only needed to place the Thousand Source Egg in a dry place, then it would absorb the aura in the air by itself and hatch.

Xu Ning removed the lid and looked into the ceramic pot.

The sky was lighting up, but the room was still pitch black. Even then, Xu Ning’s pneumatic realm strength allowed him to see clearly in the dark.

“What?”

The moment the ceramic pot was opened, Xu Ning suddenly discovered that the egg that had been lying quietly in the ceramic pot, had been hatched.

Only a thin transparent shell was left on the egg and beside it, was a white worm whose shape and size was similar to a cabbage caterpillar.

This fat white worm was milky white and swollen. Xu Ning couldn’t tell which end was the head and which end was the tail.

There were two black spots under its body.

Xu Ning looked at it and saw that they were the feet of the fat white bug.

‘It hatched.’

Xu Ning smiled.

According to Wei Binglin, once these Thousand Source Bugs hatched, they would expel Aura Crystals from their bodies every few days.

As the Thousand Source Bugs continued to grow, the quality of their Aura Crystals would also improve.

Generally speaking, a Thousand Source Bug had a life cycle of ten years, which was much longer than ordinary insects.

During the ten-year period, the Thousand Source Bug would produce a ton of Aura Crystals.

Moreover, Thousand Source Bugs were easy to raise. It did not need to eat or drink, since it relied on absorbing aura.

‘How did this Thousand Source Bug fit in this egg…’

The Thousand Source Egg was only the size of a rice grain, but after it hatched, the Thousand Source Bug was as big as a cabbage caterpillar.

Xu Ning poked the fat white bug with his finger.

After sensing Xu Ning’s touch, the fat white bug suddenly twitched.

After it twitched for a while, it stopped.

Xu Ning picked up the fat white bug and poked its stomach.

The white fat bug suddenly stiffened and stopped moving.

“It’s playing dead?”

Xu Ning was amused.

He touched the fat white bug with his fingers. He could clearly feel its vitality.

Xu Ning stopped poking at it. The bug then turned over on his own, lying still on its stomach.

After looking at it closely, Xu Ning closed the lid.

Xu Ning was looking forward to the Aura Crystals created by this Thousand Source Bug.

He also wanted to know whether Aura Crystals could be absorbed by him.

Half an hour went by, and Xu Ning saw Tao Qingping waking up. After he washed his face, the two changed into their Black Armored Guards uniform and went to the breakfast hall outside Maple Lane.

After eating breakfast, Tao Qingping returned to the guard station in Maple Lane, while Xu Ning went to the commander’s residence.

It was time for the meeting.

The commander’s mansion was already full of people.

Wei Changqing and the three captains sat at the front of the assembly hall.

Below, there were a total of more than 20 Black Armored Guards, all sitting tall and upright.

Xu Ning was the lowest-ranking official, so he sat in the back.

“Today’s meeting is of great importance.”

Wei Changqing didn’t wait around. After he saw that everyone had arrived, he said, “Everyone knows about the Black Armored Guards rebellion in Dingyun County, so I won’t say too much.”

“It’s just that I have to tell everyone that, according to the latest information we have obtained, the Black Armored Guards of Dingyun County rebellion are ready to occupy Qiuyun County and may launch an invasion at any time.”

The lieutenants were shocked.

If Wei Changqing was saying this, then a war was inevitable.

The stability in State Feiyun over the past thirty years was finally about to be broken.

“It stands to reason that Yunying City should provide reinforcements when this happens. But unfortunately the news from Yunying City is to let the surrounding county cities resolve the rebellion by ourselves.”

When Wei Changqing said this, he had a strange expression.

This completely exceeded Wei Changqing’s expectations.

Based on his experience in Yunying City after so many years, Wei Changqing knew well that the Black Armored Guards should have zero tolerance against rebellions, hence such a decision from Yunying City was confusing to him.

After hearing the news, Wei Changqing began to suspect the higher ups in the Black Armored Guards.

But there was nothing he could do, they could only solve the crisis situation by themselves.

Sure enough, after hearing what Wei Changqing said, all of the lieutenants looked solemn.

“According to our intel and the interrogation of the Magic Faction warriors, we learned that the Black Armored Guards rebellion in Dingyun County was promoted by a Magic Faction called the Shadowblood Sect.”

“The Shadowblood Sect is also behind the previous Magic Faction warriors in Kangyun County.”

Wei Changqing’s words echoed in everyone’s ears.

‘I knew it…’

Xu Ning had a look of realization in his eyes.

Just like he had expected, the Magic Faction warriors and the Black Armored Guards rebellion were connected.

“Shadowblood Sect?”

In addition to Xu Ning, the older lieutenants looked shocked after hearing about the Shadowblood Sect.

Wei Changqing looked at the people and said, “Everyone, it seems that some of you know the existence of the Shadowblood Sect…”

“That’s right, this Shadowblood Sect is the Magic Faction from State Hurricane.”

‘The Magic Faction from State Hurricane?’

Xu Ning was taken aback after hearing this.

‘The Shadowblood Sect is from another state.’

State Feiyun was not the only big state in this world. Compared to other big states, State Feiyun had been integrated and unified, while most other big states were still fragmented.

State Hurricane was in the southeast direction of State Feiyun.

Since the major forces in State Hurricane were segregated, even a Magic Faction was able to build a foundation. This was unlike State Feiyun, where a Magic Faction had no room for survival.

Dingyun County, where the rebellion had occurred, was on the borders of State Hurricane and State Feiyun.

As for Qiuyun County and Kangyun County, they were both close to Dingyun County. They were almost adjacent to State Hurricane.

‘So State Hurricane is behind this turmoil…’

Xu Ning didn’t expect this either.

Civil wars and internal disputes were still unresolved in State Hurricane.

And now, they had turned their attention towards State Feiyun.

Xu Ning could not understand why they had done so.
