Through his study of Little Gold, Huo Hai gradually discovered that seemingly all spirit insects had exceptionally hard, sharp mouthparts. This was true of the vast majority, whether Little Gold or the other spirit insects.
However, different spirit insects still had their differences. Huo Hai also discovered that while having the Star Gu attack directly was faster, the results were not particularly good. If they bit with their teeth instead, they would expend less energy and destroy an opponent's defensive barrier more quickly. Unfortunately, Spirit King experts would not stand still and let the Star Gu gnaw on them.
If he really had the Star Gu do that, his opponent would certainly react, and killing them would end up taking even more time. In battle, everyone fought for every second. Who would casually waste time?
After giving it some thought, Huo Hai could only abandon the idea. Little Gold alone was enough. At least when dealing with certain Spirit Kings, he could still deliver an extremely powerful surprise attack. Afterward, Huo Hai turned his attention to Little Bone.
The research that followed was very simple. After accelerating the growth of a large number of larvae, Huo Hai soon began experimenting with skeletons. A Ghost Bone Insect in the early Spirit Marshal realm could only produce larvae in the early Spirit General realm, a full major realm below itself.
Their numbers, however, were completely unrestricted. As long as it had enough spiritual power, the number of larvae a Ghost Bone Insect could split off each day was terrifying. Unfortunately, growing larvae needed to absorb far too much spiritual energy. Left to grow naturally, they would need ten days to half a month to mature. Huo Hai did not have that much time to wait, so he accelerated their growth for all
