Gadfly-Ant

"Gadfly-Ant Corpse Devouring Insects are a special corrupt insect. Legend has it they are one of the poison insects that the Corrupt God raised with his own body. With the Corrupt God's blessing, they can survive forever. Although that's just a legend that can't be trusted, there really is a special rune on their backs that can absorb Death Qi. Although this place is sealed and they can't leave, those runes can still absorb Death Qi from outside despite the restrictions. Whether it is flying birds, roaming beasts, or even the insects in the ground, as long as they die, they will release Death Qi. The Gadfly-Ant Corpse Devouring Insects absorb that Death Qi to grow and breed. Furthermore, their most terrifying aspect is that they can enter a state of quasi death, and in that state, the amount of energy they use is essentially zero. So in theory, their lifespan is unlimited. Even if they survived since ancient times, it's still reasonable," explained Yue Xiaoqian.

He saw a long and narrow passage that was filled completely with black insects. Each insect was five feet long and completely black. They had eight legs and two hooks at the front that shone with a cold light.
"Corpse Devouring Insects?! How could they grow this big?" Long Chen might not be claustrophobic, but seeing this many insects filling the passage, he felt a chill.
The entire passage was overflowing with them all the way to the end. In fact, it was impossible to see the end. At the same time as he was shocked by this scene, he was also shocked by Yue Xiaoqian's abilities. This stone gate and the wall had formations that made it so even his powerful soul energy was unable to sense what was beyond it.
"These are not the outside world's ordinary Corpse Devouring Insects. They are Gadfly-Ants, an ancient variant of the Corpse Devouring Insects. They live underground all their lives, absorbing the Death Qi in the air as food. Without corpses to eat, they will enter a hibernation state and still not die. In theory, they can live forever. They don't have ranks as they are not classified as Magical Beasts. They are simply one of the world's strange creatures. The poison on their hooks is extremely corrosive, and even seventh rank Magical Beasts, if they aren't heavily armored beasts, would not be able to stop the corrosion. This channel is almost thirty miles long and three hundred miles high. I don't know if it's because they were given too much time that they reproduced, but the entire channel is filled with them. If we opened the door, we would have been drowned by them," said Yue Xiaoqian.
These Gadfly-Ant Corpse Devouring Insects were too difficult to deal with. Even in the ancient era, they were extremely famous for their terror. They were the nightmare of countless cultivators, as no one wanted to provoke them.
