173 Gold Devouring Bug King
At this moment, Yang Pingan was shocked. He didn't expect to find a large group of gold devouring bugs here.The gold-eating bug can be said to be a very good soul beast, but its number is very rare, and it generally lives in some special metal mines.
But the gold-eating worm has a very big disadvantage, which is that it grows very slowly, and mainly relies on swallowing metal to grow. Of course, it also swallows some soul beasts occasionally.
Due to this characteristic of gold-eating bugs, they generally do not grow to a very old age. Many of them can only grow to a thousand years old. Even if they are in their early ten thousand years old, they can be considered the best among gold-eating bugs.
Because they need to devour metal, the gold-eating beetles are extremely powerful and can lift objects that are several or even dozens of times heavier than their own bodies. In terms of strength increase alone, they even surpass the thousand-pound ants.
Moreover, the gold-eating beetle has wings and can fly for a short time. The mouthparts in its mouth are very sharp and can bite through metal. It can even release some kind of mucus to soften the metal.
No matter from which perspective, gold-eating bugs can be regarded as top-grade gold-attribute soul beasts and power-attribute soul beasts, but it is basically difficult for high-level soul masters to find gold-eating bugs that are more than ten thousand years old.
The large group of gold-eating bugs in front of him made Yang Ping'an's eyes light up. Now that he had discovered a gold-eating bug that was ten thousand years old, it was obvious that there must be gold-eating bugs of even higher age in the deepest part of this secret compartment, and it might even be the Gold-Eating Bug King.
There is one more point in particular. Although the gold-eating worm is an insect-type soul beast, it is also a flying soul beast. This is one of the goals that Yang Pingan has always been pursuing.
After all, according to the configuration of Shrek's golden iron triangle, the four-eyed owl Flanders is also indispensable, and the focus is on providing Luo Sanpao with wings and flying ability.
Golden flying soul beasts are extremely rare, and this is also one of Yang Ping'an's biggest goals.
After a large number of gold-eating bugs left, Li Gui took Yang Pingan and continued to dive deeper.
After passing several waves of gold-eating bugs, the scene before them left Yang Ping'an and Li Gui stunned.
Normal gold-eating beetles are relatively small. A ten-year-old gold-eating beetle is only about three inches long, a hundred-year-old gold-eating beetle is only six inches long, a thousand years old will only reach one foot, and even ten thousand years old will only reach about two feet.
But here is actually a huge nest, or even a huge metal mine.
Right in the center is a giant gold-eating insect, which is one meter long and estimated to be about 33,000 years old. Its entire body is golden, and it has eight short hands, but its entire body is golden, a bit similar to the original Golden Crocodile King.
What's different from ordinary gold-eating bugs is that normal gold-eating bugs only have a pair of wings, but this gold-eating bug actually has six wings on its back, and the wings have changed from ordinary silver-gray to gold. The six wings appear extremely powerful, even illusory, a bit like Tang San's eight-winged Poseidon and Bibi Dong's six-winged purple wings in the original work.
Yang Ping'an and Li Gui looked at each other, then quietly turned into ghosts and left.
After the two of them were a certain distance away, he also used his claws to cut out a small hole and began to plan something.
Li Gui was a little hesitant at this moment: "Ping An, this gold-eating insect emperor is already 33,000 years old, which is far beyond the limit of the fifth soul ring, and it can even be said to be beyond the limit of the sixth soul ring. I'm afraid your body can't absorb it at all."
"And this Gold Devouring Bug King is obviously very powerful. In terms of strength alone, he is probably not weaker than some 70,000-year-old soul beasts. Especially his thick golden armor, I'm afraid his defensive power is also very amazing."
Yang Ping'an was silent at this time, thinking carefully about the situation of the Gold-Eating Bug King.
Normally, except in the Star Dou Great Forest, you can't find gold-eating bugs of such a high age anywhere else. I'm afraid this gold-eating bug king has mutated, and its combat power is probably even more amazing.
In addition to this gold-eating insect king, there are several gold-eating insects that are nearly ten thousand years old around, and even more thousand-year-old gold-eating insects. Even a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse dare not take action easily.
Especially the Gold-Eating Bug King, which definitely possesses the strength of a Soul Douluo, or may even be stronger. Moreover, for this kind of flying soul beast, if one attack fails once, it will probably escape, and it will be difficult to find a second opportunity to attack at that time.
Yang Pingan thought carefully for a while before speaking: "Uncle Li Gui, if I remember correctly, the Death Spider King likes to eat insect soul beasts, especially gold-eating insects. There should be quite a few Death Spider Kings in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest."
Li Gui nodded and said, "Indeed, I did see the Death Spider King when I was in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. It was more than 50,000 years old. However, we are still quite far away from the Death Spider King."
Yang Pingan shook his head: "No, we were chased by the Wind Demon Wolves before, and we didn't care about the road at that time. We should be walking towards the core area. I guess we are in the core area now, otherwise there wouldn't be such a powerful soul beast."
"And according to my estimation, the Death Spider King is no more than a hundred kilometers away from here, or maybe even closer."
Li Gui had a puzzled look on his face. "Ping An, according to what you said, you want to lure the Death Spider King to deal with this Gold Devouring Bug King, but I doubt whether a 50,000-year-old Death Spider King can defeat this Gold Devouring Bug King."
Yang Ping'an was also a little indifferent: "It doesn't matter. No matter which one wins, the Death Spider King or the Gold Devouring Bug King, we just want to be the fisherman. It would be best if they both lose. Then we can capture two top soul beasts in one fell swoop."
Li Gui thought about it carefully and felt that this plan was indeed feasible. At least he had to lure in a soul beast to deal with the Gold-Eating Insect King.
After some planning by both parties, Yang Ping'an began to dig a hole in the ground. The hole could not be too small, otherwise the Death Spider King would not be able to enter.
Li Gui turned into a ghost and captured more than ten thousand-year-old gold-eating insect kings in succession.
Soon, after two days, the cave was finally dug out. Except for a thin layer of stone at the bottom, the top had been hollowed out. There was a large hole with a diameter of about four meters, which was large enough for some top-level soul beasts to enter.
However, when the two came to the ground, the breath of life in the air was indeed much richer than that in the mixed area. It was indeed the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Li Gui said with a serious face: "Ping An, this is indeed the outskirts of the core area of the Xingdou Great Forest. It is estimated to be only about 150 kilometers away from the Lake of Life. The danger level is far greater than that of the mixed zone. Even a Titled Douluo may perish."
Yang Ping'an's face also became extremely serious. The core area of the Star Dou Great Forest was far beyond the reach of a mere quasi-Soul King like himself. Normally, one would not be able to wander around in there unless he was at the Soul Sage or even Soul Douluo level.
Next, Yang Ping'an and Li Gui searched quickly in the core area. As expected, they found the powerful Death Spider King 60 kilometers away. Of course, they also encountered many soul beasts over 50,000 years old during this period, but these soul beasts were probably not very interested in insect soul beasts. Even if they threw a thousand-year-old gold-eating insect in front of them, it would not be taken seriously.
However, when the two entered the territory of the Death Spider King, they suddenly felt a little creepy. It seemed that the Death Spider King sensed the breath of the gold-eating bug and was very hostile to Yang Ping'an and Li Gui.
Without saying a word, Li Gui turned into a ghost, pulled Yang Pingan away quickly, and at the same time threw away a thousand-year-old gold-eating insect, and even forged traces of a battle.
The two ran madly all the way, throwing a gold-eating insect every few kilometers, and trying their best to control the distance from the Death Spider King.
When the two arrived at the big pit, they directly put all the remaining gold-eating bugs into the pit, and the two turned into ghosts and disappeared into the dark river.
Following a huge hissing sound, it was obvious that the earth was shaking, and even the dark river began to collapse everywhere. It was obvious that after the Death Spider King entered the cave, it crushed the last thin layer of stone.
As the earth shook, Li Gui took Yang Pingan away from the dark river, but still hid in the shadows in the distance, just like a shadow.
Just as Yang Ping'an expected, after the Death Spider King devoured a large number of gold-eating bugs, he finally met the Gold-eating Bug King.
As soon as the two insect kings met, they started fighting rapidly like a tit-for-tat.
Especially when the Gold-Eating Beetle King saw his people being devoured, his eyes turned red, obviously showing his extreme anger. He immediately summoned countless Gold-Eating Beetles to beat up the Death Spider King. However, the Death Spider King was not afraid at all. Facing the rare feast, he became even more excited.
