The sooner the insect tide is resolved, the sooner the people from Shuiyue Sect can get away and help her leave here.

Shen Yizhi turned his gaze towards the direction where the insect swarm was coming from.

She drove the sky boat against the tide of insects and finally arrived above a cliff.

Countless insects were crawling or flying up from the bottom, like a flowing black wave, overturning all living things wherever they passed.

It was night time now, and everything was dark. It was even deeper and deeper under the cliff, so it was not a good time to explore.

Shen Yizi decided to wait until tomorrow before going down. For now, he should continue killing insects.

She threw out the Shenyu Stone, creating a triple gravity field on the ground, and set up a layer of illusion array to conceal the gravity field.

Normally, she would often train in the gravity field. The triple gravity field was no longer difficult for her. Even without wearing the array talisman, she could still walk freely in it.

But the giant insects that entered the field were different. As soon as they came in, they were pressed to the ground and could not move.

Shen Yizhi took out the Star-Breaking Hammer and smashed their heads one by one.

Watching the insect explode and die, she felt refreshed.

It turns out that she still prefers this rough way of killing insects.

Now she has gained experience in killing insects. The moment the insect exploded, she quickly raised a layer of spiritual energy shield outside her body to block the fluid bursting out of the insect's body.

It won't be contaminated at all.

After she killed one, the Ghostly Grass came over to take care of it. Two of its hand-like branches and leaves reached into the insect's body, absorbing all its flesh and blood, then dug out the inner elixir from its head and put it into a treasure bag hanging on the main stem.

The little frog acts as a defender, always on the lookout for the more insidious bugs, especially those that can fly.

In this way, Shen Yizi had no worries at all and was very happy killing insects.

After killing the ones in the gravity field, she ran out to fly a kite and attracted a group of people over.

Those bugs fully embody the saying "strong limbs but simple brains". Although they are huge in size, their IQ is obviously low. Most of them only have a strong desire to devour flesh and blood, and they don't even think about where the flesh and blood comes from.

Of course, thinking of the second-level and even third-level giant insects that had appeared before, she did not take it lightly, and her spiritual awareness never slackened for a moment.

The night passed without any major incidents.

Shen Yizhi went back to Shuiyue Sect and handed over a batch of purified inner elixirs to Kong Lingshan. Then he told them that he was going to explore the bottom of the cliff and left with Yichang.

She had previously left Yichang on the main peak to help them reduce the pressure brought by the insect tide.

Now that she was heading to the insects' lair, she naturally couldn't go alone, so she had to bring Yi Chang, this powerful helper, with her.

Before leaving, she once again proposed to send the people she rescued on Tianzhou to Shuiyue Sect.

In view of the fact that some trust had been established through the cooperation over the past few days, Kong Lingshan agreed.

Coming to the sky above the cliff again, Shen Yizi shrunk the Tianzhou to the size of a table, and sat cross-legged in the boat, with Yichang wrapped around her left hand and the Ghost Crying Grass wrapped around her right hand, and Xiaowa squatted on her shoulder.

Tianzhou descended silently. Because it was invisible and had concealed its breath, it would not be discovered by the insects as long as it did not actively crash into them.

The cliff was deeper than Shen Yizi had imagined, and it took him an hour to descend to see the bottom.

A huge white insect was lying underneath. It was large and bloated, with two tentacle-like horns on its head. Its body kept wriggling like a giant slug. When it changed its position, it left behind a large number of insect eggs.

The eggs are translucent, and you can see the larvae wriggling slightly inside.

Such insect eggs covered the entire cliff, so dense that after one look, one would not have the courage to look at them a second time.

I guess this is the queen insect.

There are several flying insects acting as guards around the queen insect, flying across the sky to protect her tightly.

And each of these guard insects is of level three.

There are also insects that transport food. They drag back the killed monsters and place them in front of the queen insect for it to eat.

The queen insect stretched out its slender, tube-like tongue and inserted it into the monster's body. After a while, the entire monster became an empty shell, and all the blood and flesh essence inside was absorbed by the queen insect.

The female insect that ate the food laid a group of eggs.

These insects are probably going to turn the entire secret realm into their breeding base.

Thinking of the scene where the secret realm was occupied by insects, Shen Yizi shuddered.

She carefully controlled the Tianzhou and flew around. She found a closing black hole on a cliff. Before it closed, a bug fell out of it.

So these bugs come from another dimension?

Come to think of it, if these insects were native, they would have occupied the secret realm long ago. Where would the Shuiyue Sect have any room to survive?

Shen Yizhi recorded all these scenes with a photo stone.

Then he left quietly, returned to Shuiyue Sect, and showed everyone what was in the image stone.

"The source of the insect tide is undoubtedly this queen. With it around, there will be an endless stream of insects. The reason why those insects keep attacking Shuiyue Sect is probably because they want to capture you and contribute you to the queen as food. After all, the flesh and blood of cultivators contains abundant spiritual energy, which is very attractive to insects."

Hearing this, the faces of the people in Shuiyue Sect all looked unhappy.

No one will feel good if they are treated as food.

Shen Yizhi discussed with Kong Lingshan, Yuxiu and others, and finally came up with a plan.

The first step is to kill a large number of low-level insects and obtain enough inner elixirs. She will purify the inner elixirs to ensure that the protective shield can last for a sufficient period of time.

The second step was for her to go to the cliff with Kong Lingshan and other three Jindan elders to kill the six third-order insects guarding the queen insect. She was responsible for one, the three Jindan elders each for one, and Yichang was responsible for the last two.

The third step is for several people to work together to kill the queen insect.

After the plan was agreed upon, everyone took action.

Shen Yizhi helped the Shuiyue Sect set up a gravity field outside the protective shield and gave them ten formation talismans. Those who wore the talismans could move freely in the gravity field.

In this way, when the insects rush over, they will be suppressed by the gravity field, making it much easier to kill them.

When the ten people on the field are tired of killing, they can replace them with another group.

This greatly improves efficiency.

When the second day came, the collected inner elixirs were enough to support the protective shield for three days.

Shen Yizhi and his group set out for the cliff.
