Chapter 1285 Cordyceps Sinensis

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Under the lead of Cloud Falcon, everyone walked along the winding passage of the nest and finally arrived at the edge of a dark pit. The air was filled with a strange and unpleasant smell, a bit like the stench of rotting meat, and also like rotten eggs, dried leaves piled up and mixed. In short, the smell was extremely unpleasant. Even Zhao Yu couldn't help but frown. She gently covered her nose with her jade hand and took half a step back.

The pit was extremely wide, and it was so dark that it was impossible to see the bottom with a normal person's eyesight. However, the people present were all experts, so their eyesight was naturally not something a normal person could compare to.

The bottom of the pit was filled with a large amount of humus. The so-called humus was made from the rotting corpses of plants and animals. There were various types of animal corpses that had not completely rotted, as well as human-shaped corpses and skeletons. Within these humus were many worm eggs of various sizes.

Apparently, this was the place where the arachnids hatched their offspring, and this "nutritious" humus was the food for the insects.

'"Your Majesty, please take a look. Every nest has a place to breed eggs. This is a king-level nest. Along the way, not a hundred egg pits have been personally handled by this subordinate. However, this subordinate has discovered something strange." Cloudfalcon explained.

Chu Jun's heart skipped a beat as he asked, "What strange thing?"

Cloudfalcon scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "This subordinate was shocked by the large number of eggs the first time I dealt with the pit, so I was bored to have someone carefully count them and found that there were as many as ten million eggs of all sizes!"

Although everyone knew that the arachnids could live, they were shocked when they heard the number "ten million". Just a king-level nest was so terrifying. If thirty percent of these ten million insects survived, it would be three million. It was truly terrifying.

"There are many species of arachnids. Regardless of whether it is any arachnid, they will place their eggs in the egg pit to hatch. After hatching, the larvae will feed on the humus here. They will also fight and devour each other. In the end, only about 10% of the eggs will truly grow." Zhang Jing explained.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. Fortunately, it was only 10%. However, on second thought, even 10% had a million. It was truly his mother's pervert.

Chu Jun signaled for Cloud Falcon to continue.

"However, along the way, this subordinate discovered that it was also a king-level nest, but the number of eggs in the egg pit had decreased."

Tao Fei Fei said, "This is very normal. You can't lay the same number of eggs in every bug nest."

"But along the way, the number of king-level nest eggs I cleaned up is gradually decreasing. Take this place for example. I have specifically counted all kinds of nest eggs. There are only three million, which is seven million less than the initial number of nearly ten million. We can't afford to be so different!" Cloudfalcon argued.

Everyone fell into deep thought.

Chu Jun's heart skipped a beat as he asked, "How many eggs did you have in the king-level nest you cleaned last time?"

"About six to seven million!"

Chu Jun patted Cloud Falcon on the shoulder and praised him, "Chicken Yun, you did a good job. This discovery is of great significance."

Cloud Falcon immediately straightened his chest and waist. His bones seemed to have lightened by a few taels. He grinned and laughed foolishly. Chu Jun was currently the Three Realms King. To be able to receive his praise from him was a great honor. The few deputies standing beside him all cast envious gazes.

Chu Jun smiled as he swept a glance at the deputies and said, "You all did a good job. Record a great merit. General Yang Yun wrote it down for them. Each of you will be rewarded with one million spirit crystals."

Cloudfalcon and his deputies were overjoyed. They didn't expect that even bored eggs would be able to make great contributions and receive generous rewards.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!" The few of them saluted happily.

Chu Jun smiled and said, "Continue to pay attention to the changes, and report back as soon as you discover them!"

"Yes!" The few of them loudly agreed as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Chu Jun took the crowd to observe for a while before leaving. Cloud Falcon sent people to destroy all the eggs in the pit.

When Chu Jun and the others returned to the Fallen Peak Divine Ark, everyone looked at each other excitedly.

Jiang Bin was the first to say, "My mother, could eating those dandelions lead to sterilization? The fertility rate of the arachnids has decreased by 70%. This is the rhythm of extinction."

Everyone glanced at each other. If it was really the reason for that powerful plant, then it would be too terrifying. It would be difficult for the arachnids not to extinguish it. They were most afraid that this plant would affect other species as well.

Jiang Bin suddenly slapped his forehead and said in shock, "Damn it, if this kind of thing can sterilize other species, then we have the most contact with it, right? Damn it, I haven't asked for a wife yet. Isn't it going to die?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly. Especially Ding Qing, Tao Fei Fei and the other women, their expressions were obviously unnatural. Even Huang Bing, who was as cold as an iceberg, had her eyes fluctuating.

When it came to having children, it was naturally an embarrassing matter for women. However, when it came to the issue of the postmortem period, the girls couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Their hearts skipped a beat. They were all thinking about the right time to have a baby. What if they were sterilized?

Chu Jun coughed softly and said, "Right now, we are not sure if the arachnids have lost their fertility because of dandelions. Everyone, don't jump to conclusions. Even if the arachnids are indeed affected by dandelions, it is still caused by them swallowing them into their bodies. We haven't eaten yet, so we shouldn't be affected."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. The expressions of the girls were obviously relaxed. Jiang Bin laughed and said, "As long as it's not sterilization, it's good. It seems that after this battle, I have to hurry up and marry a woman to sow the seeds."

Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter. The faces of the girls all turned slightly red as they spat in secret. However, their gazes coincidentally glanced at someone, and their meaning was self-evident.

Chu Jun glared at Jiang Bin and scolded, "Get lost. Do you want this king to let you return to the Domain and plant seeds now?"

Jiang Bin scratched his head and chuckled, "Forget it, His Majesty the World King is not afraid. I'm afraid of a ball!"

Chu Jun couldn't help but laugh and cry. He simply ignored this bastard and said, "Don't spread the news for the time being. We'll report this matter to the Divine Hall after we investigate and verify it."

Chu Jun stopped halfway through his words, frowning as if he was listening.

Everyone knew that Chu Jun's divine sense was exceptionally powerful. He must have discovered the situation and waited quietly.

All of a sudden, their expressions changed slightly, because there was a scene in the World Viewing Cauldron. A group of people were heading towards the Imperial Sky, and a patrol had already stepped forward to intercept them.

Amongst the group of people, the one leading them was the Great Divine King, Lin Yueyi.

Chu Jun disappeared with a whoosh. In the next moment, he had already appeared in the plaza at the top of the Fallen Peak Divine Ark. Zhang Jing and the others flew out one after another.

As soon as everyone arrived at the square at the top of the divine boat, a white gauze robe appeared at the edge of the divine boat, and her delicate body floated in front of everyone.

Chu Jun cupped his hands and saluted, "Greetings to His Majesty the God King, the Grand Priest, and the Heavenly Little God King. This is too far off!"

Everyone behind Chu Jun bowed in greeting.

Lin Yueyi raised her hand slightly as a return of courtesy. Although her beautiful face was still cold, there was a hint of joy between her brows. Chu Jun noticed that Ah Chou was still holding a dandelion in his hand.

Lin Yueyi said indifferently, "Chu Jun, you really didn't disappoint me. In less than ten days, you forced the arachnids back a million kilometers. I was truly shocked."

Chu Jun said humbly against his will, "Thanks to His Majesty the Godking, it's just a fluke. That … I won the bet earlier, shouldn't the War Hall hand over a peak-toppling Divine Ark to me?" As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and spread out his palm.

Ah Chou wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. The corner of Heavenly Little Divine King Lieyang Tian's mouth twitched slightly.

However, Lin Yueyi's expression was calm as she said indifferently, "I have already informed the War Hall that the Fallen Peak Divine Ark will be sent over tomorrow."

"His Majesty the Divine King is sure to do what he says. A single mouthful of saliva and a single nail is truly a model for our generation!" Chu Jun flattered her without changing his expression.

Lin Yueyi ignored this fellow and took the dandelion from Ah Chou's hand and asked, "What is the name of this plant? Where did you get it?"

Chu Jun shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don 't know its name, It looks a little like a dandelion, "So I called him dandelion. I got it in the secret world of the Insect Realm. At that time, only this kind of plant grew in the secret world. I thought that the original owner of the secret world had a special interest in this plant, so I deliberately put some into the small world. However, I discovered that the reproduction speed of these things was extremely terrifying, so I tried to use them against the Insect Race."

"How did you think of using this plant to deal with the arachnids?" Asked Lin Yuexing with a strange flash in her eyes.

Chu Jun spread out his hands and said, "At that time, I didn't expect that it would have such a great effect. I just thought that I should use poison to fight poison. The arachnid race has a high reproductive rate, and this plant's reproductive rate is even faster."

Lin Yueyi nodded slightly and said, "According to the location you described, I personally went to look for that secret realm, but I couldn't find it. However, judging from some clues, that secret realm has been completely wiped out."

Chu Jun was slightly shocked, "It must have been the mother emperor of the Zerg race. At that time, I was knocked unconscious and caught by it."

Lin Yueyi's eyes lit up and she said, "It seems like the arachnid mother emperor wasted her energy to wipe out a secret realm. It is very likely that her goal is to destroy this plant. However, she did not expect that you would actually have seeds left behind."

Chu Jun was slightly shocked. In other words, the Mother Emperor probably knew that this plant was harmful to the arachnid race, so she completely wiped out the entire secret realm.

"Right, we just discovered a phenomenon!"

Chu Jun told the story of the discovery of the Cloud Falcon. After listening to it, Lin Yueyi and the others couldn't help but feel horrified, followed by ecstasy.

"As expected, the ancient records of the Divine Hall are true. Cordyceps sinensis really exists!" Lin Yueyi said excitedly.

Chu Jun hurriedly asked, "What Cordyceps?"

Lin Yueyi glanced at Chu Jun and said slowly, "Legend has it that the Bugs are a bug egg that was accidentally brought back by the Creation God Emperor when he traveled through all the worlds of the Heavens. However, there were no bugs in the world where the Creation God Emperor brought back the bug egg. It was because there was a plant restriction called Cordyceps."

Chu Jun couldn't help but lean back. This was clearly a typical case of species invasion. The reason why Asian carps flooded North America was because there were no natural enemies there. Moreover, the water quality was abundant and there was plenty of food. Once the arachnids arrived at the God Realm, they would develop rapidly without the restriction of their natural enemies. The arrogant God Race would be helpless.
