Peerless War God

If they had storage rings or treasures on them, they should still be there. After all, Spirit Devouring Bugs didn't use treasures from cultivators.    

Things that cultivators regarded as treasures were probably trash in the eyes of Spirit Devouring Bugs. They were no different.    

If Chen Xiao could get his hands on it, it would be an unexpected gain. This trip would be worth it.    

A moment later, after passing through countless paths, Chen Xiao arrived at a dead corner. It was covered in dust and looked like a small insect house.    

Under the thick dust and dirt, more than half of the remains from a thousand years ago were buried in the soil. Only the grayish-white bones and a few torn strips of cloth were exposed. It looked quite miserable.    

"I don't know which human expert died in this place. He died silently. No one knows who he is." Chen Xiao sighed with emotion.    

The scene in front of him could easily hurt him.    

He must have been a powerful man when he was still alive, an existence who could call the wind and summon the rain, but his death was meaningless, and no one knew about it.    

This also allowed Chen Xiao to understand one thing. Compared to death, everything else was nothing.    

"That's right. Judging from his bones, he must be at least a late stage Tribulation Transcender. He died without leaving a trace, not even a speck of dust was left. People couldn't help but sigh. Chen Xiao, the most important thing for us right now is to save our lives. I don't want to die with you in this damn place." Xiluo said with a serious expression.    

He had a natural fear of death. He had followed the Demon Commander and been sealed and suppressed for countless years. Now that he had finally regained his freedom, he didn't want to die yet.    

Let alone Xiluo, Chen Xiao was the same. Everyone was afraid of death.    

"En, I understand."    

Then, Chen Xiao pulled open the soil and tried to dig out the bones to see if there were any treasures. However, as soon as his hand touched the bones, a crisp sound was heard. The bones immediately turned into ashes and scattered all over the ground.    

"They turned into ashes?" Chen Xiao was shocked. His hand stopped in midair.    

"It's normal, it has already been dead for a thousand years. Unless it is an undying being's corpse that is still intact, otherwise, it will definitely turn into ashes. It has nothing to do with you." Xiluo explained.    

Chen Xiao's face became silent, but he said, "If it wasn't for me, perhaps he would still be alive for a few more days."    

"Then what's the difference? Since he's already dead, he doesn't know anything about dead people." Xiluo said.    

"That's right. I was thinking too much. Let's open the remains and see if there are any treasures." Chen Xiao let out a long breath, and his mood became much better.    

Just now, Chen Xiao seemed to have thought of himself when he saw the nameless skeleton.    

More or less, it felt like a fox mourning for the death of a rabbit. Becoming a pile of bones was the final destination of most cultivators.    

If he was unable to successfully escape this danger, he was afraid that his fate would be the same. However, that was his worst plan. Unless he was in a desperate situation, Chen Xiao would not give up so easily.    

Survival was an instinct.    

"Dig."    

Therefore, in the dark corner of the hive tunnel, Chen Xiao carefully dug out the nameless skeleton. However, what he dug out was only a pile of bone dust that mixed with the dust.    

Very quickly, Chen Xiao dug out the rest of the bones as well, but he found nothing.    

There was no storage ring or treasure. There was nothing else. Other than a pile of ashes, there was nothing else.    

"I didn't find anything? How could that be? Storage rings, treasures, and even personal weapons? That shouldn't be the case."    

Chen Xiao said with a puzzled expression. There must be something wrong with this abnormal situation.    

Xiluo's expression also tensed up, and he said, "Strange. We should be the first ones to find this nameless skeleton. No one has been here before, and the item won't be taken away by anyone else. Could it be?"    

For a moment, he thought of another possibility, and it was also the only possibility.    

Chen Xiao suddenly turned his head around, and with a horrified expression, he said, "Could it be that the Spirit-Engulfing Insect took it away? Other than this possibility, there was no other reason."    

Xiluo pondered for a moment and said, "There is only one possibility. Forget it, it's fine if we can't find it. Let's go and find the next one."    

"Then what should we do with this nameless corpse?" Chen Xiao asked in a reflective manner.    

"We should just wave it. Why should we keep it? It's just a pile of ashes."    

... ""    

In the end, Chen Xiao still did not do what Xi Luo said. Raising people's ashes was a bit too extreme. After thinking for a while, he put the ashes in a bottle. Then he sealed it with mud. Bury it in the corner of the insect house, it could be considered a place to settle down.    

"You humans are troublesome indeed." Herod looked at it and shook his head.    

Chen Xiao didn't pay much attention to it. There were some things that Xiluo didn't understand, such as the feeling of the boneyard ritual.    

What he wanted was not to show respect to the dead, but a peace of mind for the living.    

"Alright, let's go to the next place." Chen Xiao smiled and said.    

"Let's go."    

The two of them continued forward. After a period of time, they arrived at another blind spot. They were completely blocked, and there was nowhere to go. The two skeletons hugged each other tightly. They were about to die together. One could imagine how desperate they were at that time.    

"Could these two be a pair of Dao partners?" Xiluo asked curiously.    

Chen Xiao's gaze turned slightly serious. He looked over and said, "It's possible."    

The two skeletons, one big and one small, had a very obvious difference between men and women. It seemed that they were indeed a pair of male and female cultivators. Unfortunately, they died here and became an underground mandarin duck.    

Although it was very miserable, the only thing that could be comforted was that even before their death, the two of them were still together. They lived together and died together.    

They lived and died together, never abandoning each other.    

"Quickly search, do you have anything?" Xi Luo saw Chen Xiao standing there for a long time and did not move, so he urged.    

"Yes."    

Chen Xiao squatted down and started to search. He still did not find the storage ring. However, he found a broken saber that was full of holes. The inscriptions had been damaged and blurred, and there were even traces of melting. It was obvious that the person who wielded the saber was an extraordinary fire elementalist.    

"A damaged saber. This person should be a fire elementalist. Flames have a certain suppressive effect on the Spirit-eating Insects. However, even so, these two people still died here. It's obvious that they underestimated the scariness of the Spirit-eating Insects." Chen Xiao said in a low voice.    

"It's just a broken saber, and it's already gone?" Xiluo said.    

"It's gone. The most valuable storage ring is gone. There must be something else that took it away. It's either the Spirit Devouring Bugs or Ji Wuyou and the others who entered this place earlier. However, this corpse didn't show any signs of being turned over. That means there's only one possibility left. " Chen Xiao analyzed.    

Upon hearing this, Xiluo also understood.    

"In other words, the storage rings of those experts who died in the hive were most likely taken away by the bug king. In other words, they should be in the core area of the hive." Xiluo said anxiously.    

"Yes, that should be the case."    

"That's too unfortunate. Looks like we've worked for nothing again." Xiluo was rather unwilling, and he revealed a displeased expression.
