"Boss, we don't recognize those insects, but for some reason, their aura feels very familiar, as if we should know them," Little Ant and Little Fire frowned and said.
Qin Chen's heart stirred. Could it be that these devouring void insects truly belong to the same category of strange spirit insects as Little Ant and Little Fire?
It's no wonder Qin Chen speculated this way; Little Ant and Little Fire were the strange spirit insects that Heinu obtained in the demon ancestor mountain range years ago. Later, they came under Qin Chen's control. Although Little Ant and Little Fire's strength rapidly increased alongside Qin Chen's rise, having devoured countless treasures, they were now likely capable of confronting ordinary earth venerables. However, Qin Chen always had a doubt in his heart.
That was, Little Ant and Little Fire's growth seemed limitless. Even though their progress was due to years of consuming numerous treasures, this growth rate still left Qin Chen feeling it was exaggerated and abnormal.
Qin Chen had always felt that Little Ant and Little Fire must have an extraordinary origin; otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for them to have grown to such an extent in just a few short years.
However, Qin Chen also dared not recklessly pit Little Ant and Little Fire against these devouring void insects. What if trouble came about?
Whoosh! Qin Chen soared deeper into the dragon nest transformed from the divine dragon tree, for the aura attracting him was located deep within the nest.
As Qin Chen continued to delve deeper, those venerables who failed to capture the divine dragon tree also entered the depths of the dragon nest, beginning to search for other treasures.
To Qin Chen's surprise, there were indeed quite a few treasures present within this dragon nest.
"That's..." As Qin Chen reached the depths of the dragon nest, he suddenly spotted an object radiating a black sheen. Upon picking it up, he discovered it was a piece of mother gold iron, a rare material of venerable level.
Not just Qin Chen, he encountered a few other venerables along the way, and they too found some special materials within this dragon nest.
"Haha, essence of all woods, the emperor among trees, this is actually the legendary imperial wood stone!"
When Qin Chen flew past a section of the dragon nest, he saw a venerable cleaning the nest thoroughly, who unexpectedly found an imperial wood stone.
"Quick, hurry up and search! The imperial wood stone grows like a vein, there must be more that hasn’t been mined yet."
Upon seeing someone excavate an imperial wood stone, other venerables in the dragon nest couldn't help but feel envious and immediately began to search frantically, all wanting to find another imperial wood stone.
Qin Chen then passed through a misty area filled with spatial fluctuations within the dragon nest. He saw a group of venerables constantly darting around in this misty region, and judging by their appearance, they clearly belonged to the same race, feeling that something was wrong with this spatial mist area and wanted to completely sweep it clean.
"Found it, found it, chief, I've discovered a space origin stone!"
Suddenly, a young venerable rushed out from the misty area, excitedly saying. In his hand, he held a transparent stone that seemed to contain an entire spatial world.
"Space origin stone?"
Qin Chen, passing by, was also taken aback. He had heard of the space origin stone; it was a top-tier spatial treasure. Once refined into the body, it could allow the owner to wield terrifying spatial power, even enabling earth venerables to form a weak spatial domain. It was a top-tier supreme treasure.
"Space origin stone?"
"Such a treasure belongs to the spiral sand tribe."
"Kill!"
Instantly, several venerables, who had been searching for treasures around the dragon nest, rushed over in an attempt to seize the space origin stone from the young venerable's hands.
"Who dares to rob the treasures of my spiral sand tribe?"
A furious roar sounded out as several venerables surged out from the misty region, clashing with this group of would-be robbers. Immediately, there were booming noises as the two sides fought, attracting even a few earth venerable powerhouses.
