In the end, Su Nu and the Insect King unanimously decided to have the derivative Qi-eating Insects scout the valley. There were plenty of them, so casualties were not a concern.

The moment the Qi-eating Insects swarmed into the valley, a wisp of smoke descended upon them. It was impossible to block, even by covering their mouths and noses, and it swept right over them—
Nothing happened.
Not only were Su Nu and the Insect King dumbfounded, but even the smoke itself seemed to falter for a moment before sweeping down again. The result, however, was still the same.
"...It's the soul."
