Zhu Miao explained that the giant insect is a type of insect-like monster that existed tens of millions of years ago. It is extremely rare, ancient, and powerful.

Its greatest ability is to shrink everything, including people and monsters, though it's not very useful.

Giant insects are very friendly and docile, non-aggressive, and love to interact with people and things they like.

It's definitely a high-demand monster.

However, because of its insignificance, it is often overlooked, which hurts the very proud insect.

So when they encounter people or things they like, they will activate their skill to make the other person a tiny bit smaller than themselves.

This allows you to interact with the other person.

Shen Sanruo finally understood the origin of the name "giant insect": if other things are made smaller, wouldn't they appear "giant"?

However, as time went by, the giant insect gradually disappeared and almost vanished from the cultivation world.

Therefore, neither Shen Sangluo nor the dodder flower fairy had ever heard of their names.

Zhu Miao was also surprised that there were giant insects in the Starry Plains.

The little red beetles—oh wait, to Shen Sangruo now they're big beetles—nodded vigorously, agreeing with Zhu Miao's explanation.

Then they stretched their legs around her, forming a circle, and started jumping around happily.

There was an empty spot in the middle, clearly indicating that they wanted her to join.

Looking at the giant insects waving enthusiastically at her, Shen Sanruo was unsure whether she was lucky or unlucky.

On one hand, she was favored by ancient monsters from millions of years ago; on the other hand, their favor shrank her, which greatly affected her search for treasures.

She rubbed her temples, knowing they had high emotional needs and couldn't bear to refuse them, so she joined them first and then explained the situation to them in detail.

Seeing Chen Sangruo join in, the giant insects became even more excited, pulling her hand and dancing their own special dance.

Zhu Miao and the dodder flower fairy were their audience, although it was a bit difficult to see what they were dancing.

She only interrupted the giant insects who wanted to continue to the next round after one round of dance steps was over.

He said, "I'm honored that you all like me, but I have important matters to attend to and can't play with you for the time being."

The giant insects tilted their heads, their expressions seemingly somewhat disappointed, but they listened intently.

"If you don't mind, I can take you with me. I'll play with you after I'm done with my work. Now, can you turn me back to normal?"

After she finished speaking, several giant insects gathered together and whispered something, as if they were discussing something.

After a moment, the voices stopped talking, and they nodded to her, indicating their agreement with her proposal.

Just as they were about to turn her back, an extremely fast unidentified object suddenly rushed towards her and the giant insects.

The giant insects were knocked over and scattered all over the ground, each one with its carapace on the ground, frantically flapping its legs, but unable to get over.

Shen Sanruo was even more severely injured, being knocked away and landing on the back of the unidentified object that had thrown her.

The unidentified object had two long tentacles; one of the tentacles had an eye staring at her, while the other was looking at the road ahead.

The eye that was staring at her seemed a little puzzled, but it quickly looked ahead again, not intending to pay attention to her unexpected behavior.

Is this a snail?

Shen Sanru blinked. Was she still half asleep? Had she actually been sent flying by a snail?

The snail was incredibly fast; by the time she realized what was happening, it had already carried her several miles.

Even from the perspective of Zhu Miao and the dodder flower fairy, the snails left afterimages as they ran.

What she found even more incredible was that several other snails, also holding their breath and moving rapidly, were chasing after this snail.

It's like a race.

Hmm, snails, a race.

Shen Sanruo remained silent for a moment.

Indeed, the world is full of wonders.

There was no time to marvel at the absurdity of the snail race; what she needed to do right now was get off the snail as quickly as possible, or she didn't know where it would take her.

The surrounding scenery changed rapidly.

The plan to search for the treasure was disrupted once again.

Now, she finally realizes that her luck might indeed be a little bit bad.

Upon entering the secret realm, they landed in the dragon's cave, were shrunk by an extremely rare giant insect, and then happened to encounter a snail in a race.

They didn't give her a chance to find the treasure at all.

Thinking it over, she reached out, grabbed the snail's two tentacles, and shouted, "Brake!"

Driver, you've picked up the wrong person. She wants to get off!

She gathered spiritual power in her hands, and this move seemed to have a miraculous effect. The snail beneath her indeed stopped, its eyes rolling back in its head from being pinched.

The other snails in the race also stopped around her.

She had been led by the snails to a grove of trees, where the trees were sparse but the open spaces were covered with dense, knee-high grass.

It almost completely blocked her view.

Shen Sangruo rolled off the snails and said to them, "You can continue."

But after the snails stopped, they didn't seem to intend to continue the race; instead, they curiously observed her.

At this moment, if Shen Sang were only the size of an ant, even a snail would be enormous to her.

They all stretched their antennae and eyes in front of her, eyes almost the size of her head, practically staring into her face.

Snail: oO

Why is this so different from the humans they remember? Why is it so small?

Another snail nibbled a piece of grass from the side and threw it in front of her, feeding her.

They looked at her with curiosity, as if she were a little pet.

Shen Sangruo: ...

When the two demons realized she was missing, they immediately went after her.

The dodder flower vine coiled around and carried all the giant insects that were still fluttering about.

They also need to help Chen Sangri remove the spell that made her shrink.

Zhu Miao quickly located her using the contract with her.

The snails knew they had come to see her, and they very cooperatively stepped aside, making room for her.

Shen Sanruo looked up at the tips of the vines above Zhu Miao's head and said solemnly, "I think what you said before does make some sense."

Her luck is truly unique.

No one could have had a more bizarre experience than her.

"Let the giant insects turn me back first," she sighed, quickly adjusting her mindset.

Realizing he had caused her trouble, the snail she had created looked apologetic.

It drooped its antennae and rubbed its eyes against her, as if to express its apology.

Shen Sang attributed all these coincidences to her bad luck and didn't blame the snail too much. She also reached out and touched its eyes.

However, as she lowered her head, her gaze pierced through the gaps in the grass and she saw something on the tree trunk, causing her to suddenly stop.

She turned her head and walked closer, looking carefully, trying to see what it was.

The snails followed behind her, equally curious.

As she passed through layers of grass, large patches of dark red, layered material came into view.

Her eyes lit up instantly.
