Chapter 533: The golden silkworm
It was rumored that in ancient times when humans first started out, ten thousand beasts dominated the continent. The Divine Beast was the highest ruler, and the various Divine Beasts ruled over a region. Then, rare strange beasts appeared, and they wanted to compete with the Divine Beast to become an emperor.
At that time, all sorts of powerful beasts displayed terrifying heavenly talents, provoking the dignity of the various Divine Beasts.
Among them was a powerful beast called the Golden Silkworm Venomous Insect. It displayed supreme power and combat strength and was on par with the Divine Beast. In the end, it obtained a remote corner of the land, becoming the place where the Venomous Insects lived.
According to legend, the Golden Silkworm Venomous Insect was a combination of the Heavenly Silkworm King and the Venomous Insect King's mutated bloodline. At the same time, it possessed two types of Spirit Beast's Divine Ability. It was a rare ancient strange beast.
As the era progressed, the bloodline of these ancient beasts became increasingly thin. Up until the ancient era, Golden Silkworm Venomous Insects had already become legends, and they had never appeared before.
Huang Xiaowen's identities were rather special, so it wasn't strange for him to be able to recognize this Golden Silkworm Venomous Insect in one glance.
Of course, the few of them had never seen this kind of ancient strange beast before. It was just that they had a slight understanding of some ancient classics.
The Golden Silkworm Venomous Insect was different from other Spirit Beasts. Normally, when a Spirit Beast reached the Heaven Rank, it would be able to speak human language. However, its aura was clearly at the Sovereign step, but it couldn't accept the human language. Hence, it was certain that this Golden Silkworm Venomous Insect in front of him was still in its growth stage and could not be considered a mature medicinal Golden Silkworm Venomous Insect. A mature medicinal Golden Silkworm Venomous Insect would have silkworm wings on its back, able to speak human words and transform into a human form.
The lifespan of the Golden Silkworm Venomous Insect was very long. Every stage of growth required five thousand years of evolution time, which was five thousand years of childhood, five thousand years of growth, and ten thousand years to become a mature Golden Silkworm Venomous Insect Emperor.
However, no matter which stage the Golden Silkworm Venomous Insect was at, it had the power to command all heaven silkworms and Golden Silkworm Venomous Insects in the world. It was the supreme ruler of these two Venomous Insects.
"You... Who are you?" An incomparably weak voice rang out beside the Golden Silkworm Venomous Insect.
Everyone was stunned. Their eyes shrunk.
This was clearly the voice that Old Woman had emitted.
Huang Xiaowen said faintly, "Your soul is still here?"
The old woman's soul once again appeared beside the golden silkworm, but she looked very faint this time.
Old Woman said lightly, "She's long gone. I am just a wisp of her will before she dies. She will disappear very soon. Can any of you tell me... How are the descendants of the Venomous Insect Clan now? Have they been exterminated by those beasts?"
Old Woman's voice was still filled with hatred.
"Replying to senior, the Venomous Insect Clan was destroyed ten thousand years ago." Nangong Lia came back to his senses and replied.
"God damn, the children of the Venomous Insect Clan... actually..." Old Woman cried out in grief.
Feng Yun said from the side, "Senior, there is no need to be sad. Your family was not completely wiped out. There are still many who still live in this world. It's just that they can only live in a corner. They don't dare to show themselves carelessly. They're afraid of causing trouble."
"Really?" Old Woman cried out in surprise.
"Absolutely, I am also a member of Gu Clan, I am the son-in-law of Gu Clan. I was specially ordered by the high priest to find the two great sacred objects of the Venomous Insect Clan." Feng Yun said seriously.
Old Woman looked at Feng Yun Her expression was full of doubt.
"Senior, if you don't believe me, you can search junior's memories. I am indeed your family's son-in-law." Feng Yun continued.
Naturally, he didn't care about the old woman's emotion, he just desperately needed the Heavenly Venomous Insect Art from the old woman. She was an ancestor-level figure of the Gu Clan, she must have the Heavenly Insect Art with her.
With Huang Xiaowen present here, Feng Yun doesn't have to worry about his safety. Huang Xiaowen won't let anything happen to him.
The old woman come closer to Feng Yun to inspect, a few seconds later her expression became furious. She said in a stern voice, "You... you dare to lie to me? If you were the Venomous Insect Clan's follower, how could you not have the sacred qi of my clan?"
When she approached Feng Yun, she did not sense the Venomous Insect Clan's Qi in Feng Yun's body, which meant that there was no aphrodisiac in Feng Yun's body. Therefore, she was sure that Feng Yun couldn't be the son-in-law of the Gu Clan.
At this moment, she was furious and wanted to devour Feng Yun's soul but Huan Xiaowen was protecting Feng Yun from her side, she couldn't do anything. She was only a remnant soul while he was a living divine rank expert.
At this moment, Feng Yun took out something and showed it to Old Woman, "Senior, please take a look!"
A token appeared in Feng Yun's hand. It was a very ancient token. The material looked like jade, but not jade. It was made from a rare material. On the surface of the token was a statue with a Venomous Insect engraved on it. There were two foreign characters carved sides of the statue that were difficult to understand.
Old Woman instantly stopped and looked at the token in a daze. At first, her expression became a little blank, as if she was trying hard to recall something.
After a moment, Old Woman seemed to have thought of something and her expression became pious. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and muttered some words that Feng Yun did not understand to the plate.
Old Woman stopped mumbling and then looked at Feng Yun with a completely different gaze. "Who gave you this token?"
Feng Yun said slowly, "The high priest gave it to me?"
Before Feng Yun left the Venomous Insect City, the high priest gave him a Space Ring. Other than some spirit herbs, there was also a Jade Cylinder. When Feng Yun found the Heavenly Venomous Insect Divine Arts, he would crush the Jade Cylinder if he needed help. The high priest would naturally rush over. In addition to the spiritual herbs and Jade Cylinder, there was also this token.
At that time, the High Priest didn't mention the function of this token. He only told him that if he wanted to return to Venomous Insect Sacrifice City in the future, he only needed to show the token.
Feng Yun felt that this token should be his pass to Venomous Insect Sacrifice City, or his identity certificate in Venomous Insect Clan.
Therefore, when he was at his wit's end, he took out this token in hopes that Old Woman would believe his identity.
Fortunately, this token seemed to have some effect and made Old Woman stop. It seemed that she really remembered something.
Seeing Old Woman's figure getting weaker and weaker, she knew that her will was about to disappear from this world.
She looked at Feng Yun and said gently, "I'm sorry, child. I have wronged you."
