Shock!

Watching the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada struggling weakly under the dense roots of the Plague Source, Shen Qiang's shocked emotions could hardly be simply expressed by words.

Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada.

A hundred years to gather shape, a hundred years to increase intelligence, a hundred years to grow double wings, soaring to the sky after three hundred years.

Unafraid of fire and water, impervious to swords and spears!

If not, who would commit such outrageous acts and spend three centuries refining the Golden Cicada?

Yet such a powerful Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada.

In the eyes of the young Plague Source, it was merely food!

And even more shocking, in front of the Plague Source that had already soared to the heavens, the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada had turned into a small insect, completely incapable of any resistance.

"Doctor Shen? What exactly did you do just now?"

Stunned, he watched as the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada was wrapped tightly by the Plague Source's roots and swallowed.

Shen Qiang came back to his senses and said, "I did nothing, the equipment is broken."

Having said that, Shen Qiang turned and left.

The Director of Neurology frowned, "Is that possible? All the equipment was broken? And just happened to be all okay after he made his move?"

The Director of Neurosurgery, meanwhile, checked the patients' monitoring data.

"It is indeed abnormal. Previous data of the patients prove we were not mistaken, Shen Qiang definitely did something, he just seems unwilling to let us know."

True Qi depleted and his steps somewhat unsteady, Shen Qiang hurried back to the Tumor Surgery Doctor's duty room 2, which was specifically for interns and wouldn't see regular doctors unless there were special circumstances.

Sitting down in a chair.

Shen Qiang's thoughts shifted, and he entered the Sea of Consciousness.

"Qingxuan, your protection was unfavorable, please punish me, Master," Qingxuan knelt on one knee, her head bowed low.

Looking at her snow-white neck, Shen Qiang said, "Rise, it's not your fault. If my cultivation were higher, perhaps this problem wouldn't have occurred."

Qingxuan's body shook, and she said, "Thank you, Master!"

Qingxuan then stood up.

At this time, Shen Qiang's attention had already turned to the Plague Source, which was squealing excitedly.

"Son, come on, tell Daddy, is that little insect still alive?"

Hush!

Countless dense roots lifted the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada to Shen Qiang's face.

Looking at the Golden Cicada Gu, which was now too weak to struggle and could only move its eyes, Shen Qiang's mood became extremely complex.

This is a treasure.

If it cannot be subdued, it will become a deadly assassin.

"Evolve, evolve!"

Waving its three leaves, the Plague Source chirped excitedly.

Then it retracted the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada back into its body.

Only then did Shen Qiang notice, aghast.

The Plague Source's three-leaf stem, which looked like a bald head, had already split into seven inside.

In one triangular-shaped space, the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada was placed.

Not only that.

What astonished Shen Qiang even more was that,

in that space,

besides the original body of the cicada, a replica of the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada had already appeared.

It looked almost exactly like the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada.

But even just by looking.

Shen Qiang also learned from the emotions of the Plague Source that the copied Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada was almost the same as the specimens of various fungi, bacteria, and pathogens in the other three leaves.

In the next seventy-two hours, it would evolve into the highest version.

The Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada evolved by the Plague Source could reach the pinnacle of its life system.

Such an evolution of the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada would be countless times stronger than the original Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada.

In other words, the evolved Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada, just like those evolved fungi and bacteria, could be released to fight the enemy whenever Shen Qiang needed.

Strong!

So strong!

Simply monstrously strong!

Shen Qiang was excited, nervous, and exhilarated.

Just then, through the whining emotions transmitted from the Plague Source, Shen Qiang suddenly noticed a fatal flaw in such evolution.

That was the annihilation of the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada's intelligence!

"No intelligence? Is it still a Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada then?"

So, hesitating slightly, Shen Qiang softened his voice, coaxing like talking to a child, "Hey, good boy, now that you have the sample, could you give this Golden Cicada to daddy?"

The Plague Source was silent for about a second.

Numerous dense roots immediately lifted the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada in front of Shen Qiang.

Shen Qiang, extremely tense, stared at the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada tightly wrapped by the dense roots and said sternly, "Listen well, you are about to be devoured by my son, and the only way to save you is to recognize me as your master."

"In that case, it won't only not eat you, but it will also give you freedom, and I, not only will I give you lots of delicious treats, but I can also make you stronger."

"If you agree, blink three times, and I will let it release you."

"If you refuse, then you will become its food."

Hearing Shen Qiang's words, the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada, tightly wrapped by the dense roots, immediately nodded.

Shen Qiang sighed in relief and said, "Release it."

The dense roots contracted instantly.

The Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada, regaining its mobility, immediately flew behind Shen Qiang, hiding in terror from the Plague Source as if by hiding behind Shen Qiang's ear, the Plague Source would not be able to find it.

This amused Shen Qiang.

It seemed that the intelligence level of the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada was not very high.

And almost the moment Shen Qiang thought this,

Even though he was in the Sea of Consciousness, Shen Qiang suddenly felt a pain behind his ear.

Then, he heard a voice akin to a young girl's tender voice, anxiously saying, "Master must keep his word! Don't let this bad guy eat me!"

"Whatever Master tells me to do, I will do!"

Shen Qiang was startled, "You can talk?"

Whoosh!

The Golden Cicada flashed and appeared in front of Shen Qiang. Although it was just a small bug with wings, it bowed and said, "Replying to Master, Golden Cicada was born in the forty-sixth year of Kangxi, six years old this year, but I don't know why I suddenly turned into a bug."

Shen Qiang was shocked, "What did you say?"

The Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada, startled by Shen Qiang, said, "Golden Cicada is six years old."

"Which year is it now?" Shen Qiang asked urgently.

"The fifty-second year of Kangxi," said the Golden Cicada. "The Emperor is holding the Longevity Festival, hosting the Banquet of A Thousand Elders, grandfather went to attend the banquet, Golden Cicada was waiting under the tree..."

"Then what?" Shen Qiang asked, eyes wide with astonishment.

The Golden Cicada shook its head, "Don't remember, Golden Cicada has wings now!"

Watching the excited Golden Cicada fluttering in front of him, Shen Qiang's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

No wonder the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada had intelligence.

So it turned out that this intelligence actually came from the boys and girls who refined Incense!

With a quick thought, Shen Qiang asked urgently, "Are there other people around you?"

The speed of the Golden Cicada's fluttering wings suddenly increased and after a long while, she said, "There seemed to be a little brother who fought with Golden Cicada for the wings, but he...died."
