Chapter 1005: Chapter 500: Sunset Nail_2

"These two aren’t quite right in the head; better not get too close to them in the future," Bat Taoist warned himself.

Ken dug up one egg after another, dissected one after another, his speed increasing and becoming more targeted. Bat Taoist became puzzled: Where was the danger that Master mentioned? Why hadn’t it appeared from beginning to end?

...

After several days, everyone finally arrived at the second possible location of the Bloodstain Mosquito Eggs. The danger level in the Country of Mourning was now extreme, so extreme that even the Tire-7 Chaotic Demons would not dare boast about being fearless. Thus, their journey proceeded slowly.

For the cultivators, this was extremely difficult! On one hand, they had to worry about the Tier-6 and Tire-7 Demonic Beasts that could appear, burrow, float over, or teleport at any moment on the road. Indeed, the demonic beings in the Country of Mourning were now all-out, employing various unfathomable methods.

On the other hand, they were even more "afraid" of Master Sun. Master Sun was not only extremely powerful—naturally powerful enough to make Tire-7 Chaos Demons obediently submit and kill Tier-6 Great Wizards with one blow—but also had a meticulous mind and an observant gaze. Upon arriving at the toxic miasma border, he noticed that the mosquito eggs were all dead and there was no need to rush in. Everyone had been holding their ground for three days, trapped in a fixed mindset, neglecting the original purpose of breaking through the miasma. Additionally, the most painful and tangled point for them was that Master Sun seemed to be their creditor. The Horizon Bureau didn’t allow anyone to enter the Country of Mourning, and now everyone standing here had snuck in, then failed to protect their own lives and finally had to be rescued by Master Sun.

Everyone felt a deep guilt towards Master Sun, so much so that no one had made eye contact with him during the journey. The general situation was: Oh no, the expert is looking over, I’m so guilty, let’s hide quickly!

Phew, that was close! Almost made eye contact with him.

The second location they found after their long journey was a series of eight connected three-hundred-meter peaks. The surface of the peaks was smooth, black, and gray, with no vegetation and extremely steep cliffs that were difficult for monkeys to climb. Moreover, the highest peak was in the center, surrounded by the other seven peaks. In terms of positional relationship, it looked like an Array with a bit of a Big Dipper vibe, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At the base of these peaks were dozens of connected caves, and on top of the peaks were openings reminiscent of volcanoes. When the cultivators saw these mountains, they couldn’t help but feel uneasy: "Could the mosquito eggs be hidden here? This is an enormous ant nest; the eggs hidden inside would have been eaten long ago."

A hundred-meter-high ant nest must have an underground structure many times larger than the surface. How terrifying would such a colony of ants be?

However, Master Sun looked at the ant nest and said, "It’s right below; the previous owners here have become food for the Bloodstain Mosquitoes."

The ants here were terrifying, but the Bloodstain Mosquitoes were even more terrifying! They had devoured all the ants and then taken over the nest. Master Sun even had another guess: The Bloodstain Mosquitoes were very likely to have sensed the approaching Heavenly Track Reversal and knew they would fall into a slumber. Like bears storing fat before hibernation, they too went on a frenzied hunt to last through the long sleep.

Although this place didn’t seem as dangerous as the miasma, looking at the dark caves beneath the ant nest still made the cultivators fearful. Moreover, from time to time, some strange noises emanated from those caves, making it difficult to distinguish whether they were poisonous insects, demon beasts, or some other peculiar demonic beings.

As Master Sun hesitated, Boundary Flower was already eager to move forward—it thought that although Master hadn’t explicitly told it to go, if it tried to sneak forward and Master didn’t stop it, that would be permission.

Of course, it was feeling guilty, so it crawled forward quietly and inconspicuously. With its size...this self-defeating approach almost made Master Sun laugh out loud.

"Fine, you can go," he said.

With permission granted, Boundary Flower excitedly sprang into action and lunged directly at one of the ant nest peaks.

Keith, who was good at calculating, appeared once again near the ant nest in advance. However, after observing the situation, he realized that setting up a "Netherworld Trap" here was not suitable, so he adopted another method.

This time he used the "Sunset Nail." To ensure a foolproof plan, he also took out the "Book of the Dead" as a supporting measure.

However, Keith would never dare to enter the battlefield personally. He took out another "curious item"—a false body puppet—which he had obtained during an adventure at the "Da Luo World Gate."

Moreover, it was a set of four puppets. One held the Sunset Nail, another held the Book of the Dead, and the other two were equipped with powerful Magical Instruments.

He hid outside wearing a Bamboo Hat, while the four puppets were hidden deep inside the ant nest where the Bloodstain Mosquito Eggs were piled up.

Keith had once thought about whether to take some Bloodstain Mosquito Eggs for himself—but as was his habit, before doing anything, he would first do a "Micro-count Skill," and found that the consequence of taking the eggs was "very bad."

Once he had finished setting everything up and came out of the ant nest, he suddenly slapped his forehead: "Am I stupid? Do I even need to use the ’Micro-count Skill’ for this? The Silkworm Monster wants the Bloodstain Mosquito Eggs because he has a Demon Clan technique that can control demonic beings. If I took them, how would I control these demonic beings once they hatch? I’d be poisoned on the spot!"

But this situation didn’t make him more alert; he still thought he was simply slow to react at the moment. Unaware that he was becoming more and more dependent on the "Micro-count Skill" and beginning to lose the habit of active thinking, he didn’t realize that the "Micro-count Skill" could only reveal one-third of the secrets of fate!
