Chapter 195 The Giant Flower and Giant Moth of All-Natural Energy

Deep within Giant Insect Island, Oil Girl Zhicheng has been living in a primitive tribe for more than half a month.

In just half a month, he completely expanded the underground of Hulu Mountain and dug out a huge underground palace that was twenty stories deep.

With the help of the Emotion Bug's ability to mutate, he finally learned the indigenous language and the name of the tribe. The chief was called Gulu, and the tribe called themselves the Gulu Tribe.

The tribe consists of 132 people, men, women, and children who depend on each other for survival and live by hunting and gathering.

You Nu Zhicheng was quite interested in their primitive and simple way of life. After they mastered the language, he taught them to write simple characters and then moved the entire tribe into an underground palace to live in peace.

During this time, he traveled all over the island to investigate and discovered more than fifty similar tribes. The smaller ones had dozens of people, the larger ones had hundreds, and the largest one had as many as ten thousand people, living among the intertwined roots of giant trees.

Those thick roots arched out natural caves in the ground, where primitive people laid dry grass and animal skins to live in, and built stone walls outside the caves to defend against giant insects, already showing the rudiments of a primitive civilization.

After the arrival of the oil maiden Zhicheng, the scattered human tribes on the island all submitted to the Gulu tribe. Half a month later, all the humans on the Giant Insect Island moved into the Gourd Palace.

He didn't just focus on unifying the tribes; instead, he devoted more energy to studying the land and its inhabitants. He discovered that the island's inhabitants were naturally unable to refine chakra, just like most plants and animals.

The source of power for those chakra-infused poisonous insects seems to be that they preyed on chakra-carrying fish in the sea and were corrupted and mutated by the energy.

However, this inference is not entirely consistent with itself. In particular, those giant insects with chakra as vast as the sea within their bodies are definitely not products of natural evolution.

Inside the underground laboratory of the insect hive, Shisei Aburame compared the genes of various insects over and over again, and was astonished to find that the giant insect with chakra had a gene sequence that was almost completely identical to that of ordinary insects.

This means that some unknown force is secretly distorting the size and strength of the insects on the island.

Just then, Xiaoqing, who had been wandering outside, suddenly flew back, bringing important news in an urgent tone:

"Master! Master! I've discovered another plant that can generate its own natural energy!"

"A plant that generates its own natural energy?" Aburame Shisei's eyes lit up. "Take me to see it."

This is only the second such spiritual plant in the ninja world, and its preciousness is self-evident.

He leaped onto Xiaoqing's back and sped for half an hour until they reached an open area.

Several strange flowers grew here, their blossoms as large as basins, their centers emanating a rich, exotic fragrance. And in the center of the group of flowers stood an exceptionally enormous, peculiar flower.

Aburame Shisei raised his hand and manipulated the surrounding airflow. In an instant, he clearly sensed that a faint natural energy was slowly flowing within the giant flower.

"Master, that nectar smells so good! I feel like eating it will greatly increase my natural energy!" Xiao Qing said, her mouth watering.

Yu Nu Zhicheng gently patted its head, slowly landed, and walked to the flower to examine it carefully.

"These flowers... are actually carnivorous plants."

He reached out and gently touched the petals, when suddenly his fingertip stung. He quickly withdrew his hand and saw a small cut on his fingertip, from which blood slowly seeped out.

Upon closer inspection, the edges of the petals are covered with a row of fine serrations, sharp as knives.

Even though his physical body had been repeatedly tempered by wind-attribute energy, it was still easily slashed, which is enough to prove that this flower is no ordinary thing.

He took out the jade bottle, intending to extract some nectar to take back for further research.

At that very moment, an incredibly violent surge of natural energy suddenly swept over him. Its intensity far surpassed any of the giant insects he had encountered before, clearly reaching the Shadow level.

The two insects looked up and saw a giant moth, tens of meters long, hovering in mid-air.

Its two horns stand tall, and its entire body is covered in snow-white down, making it look like a fluffy animal skin from a distance. The moth flaps its wings and emits a sharp, shrill chirp, full of warning and hostility.

Aburame Zhicheng looked at the giant moth with no fear in his eyes, but rather with joy.

This was the first time he had ever seen a giant creature that contained only natural energy but possessed absolutely no chakra. No wonder it was a mysterious, isolated island abandoned by a prehistoric civilization.

Aburame Shisei was immediately captivated by the sight and exclaimed involuntarily, "So beautiful!"

At this moment, Xiaoqing's body rapidly grew larger, filled with resentment. "Master, it's so ugly! Let me kill it. The natural energy within it is enough to cultivate a large number of immortal insects."

"Xiao Qing, come back." You Nu Zhicheng called out softly, putting Xiao Qing back into the petri dish.

He then rose into the air, floating before the giant moth, and said calmly, "No need to be nervous, we are not enemies. You are the guardian of this wondrous flower, aren't you? Would you be willing to establish a spiritual contract with me?"

"Hiss—hiss—"

The giant moth completely ignored his overtures, let out a sharp cry, and unleashed its immense natural energy, spraying out thick, tough white silk that instantly wove a giant cocoon over the sea of ​​flowers, trapping Aburame Zhicheng in the center.

But he did not panic; he simply stood quietly inside the silk cocoon, observing silently.

He quickly realized that although this moth possessed abundant natural energy, it shared the same fatal flaw as the other giant insects on the island: it had power but did not know how to use it.

With a wave of her hand, Yu Nu Zhicheng unleashed countless wind blades that instantly severed all the silken cocoons that had been binding him.

The giant moth flew into a rage and its attacks became increasingly frenzied. Aburame Shicheng did not retaliate, but simply rode the wind around him.

Giant moths, on the other hand, spin silk, fan wild winds, and scatter poisonous feathers and scales.

However, this method is too ordinary and commonplace; it might work against ordinary people, but it's not enough against him.

Having clearly seen the weakness of the opponent's attack, Aburame Shisei no longer held back, his figure darting around the giant moth at high speed.

The moth, unaware of his intentions, continued to attack in this manner, and soon it was firmly bound by the silk it had spun.

In addition, its already enormous size hampered its flight ability, causing it to crash to the ground immediately.

"Insect Escape: Mud Swamp Technique!"

Suddenly, a large number of earth-building insects emerged from the ground, turning into a sticky mud pit that completely imprisoned the giant moth.

Aburame Zhicheng slowly descended and landed on its forehead.

Just as he was about to inscribe the spirit communication spell, his gaze sharpened and he suddenly discovered that the giant moth's nest was scattered with dozens of human skeletons.

Those were definitely not the remains of ordinary primitive people.

Fragments of metal armor remained on the skeleton, and strangely shaped swords were stuck upside down beside it. Even a faint trace of chakra remained inside the body. And the source of the chakra was an inconspicuous stone.

"Greel's Stone!"

Aburame Shisei's face lit up with surprise. As expected, he knew that the giant insects on the island possessed enormous chakra, and there must have been a reason for it.
