C1346 The Dense Forest
Night had fallen, and the moon was shining, silver on the earth.
In the depths of a forest, dust flew into the air.
After a long time, everything returned to normal.
A large beast with scorched black fur and skin fell to the ground.
It died a horrible death. There was a hole in its abdomen, and its intestines and other organs were scattered all over the ground.
Next to it were two corpses that were stiff and dead.
A while later, the two corpses fell to the ground, and a bright red liquid flowed out.
This blood was black and had a pungent smell. If normal people came into contact with it, they would instantly turn into pus.
In the pool of blood, there were two transparent beads floating with faint ripples on their surface.
"Crack! Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the two balls cracked open and two small items crawled out from within. A pair of claws that were half a foot long flashed with a cold light and looked extremely sharp.
The two little things soon jumped towards the wolf's corpse and started to eat it. In the blink of an eye, even the bones were chewed and eaten.
The two little things seemed to want more and stared at the blood on the side with killing intent.
However, the two little things didn't do anything. Instead, they changed their target and charged in another direction.
It was a corpse that was almost completely rotten. Only the shell was still intact, and there was still a faint aura of life.
Not long ago, Zhou Yan had snuck over here with the intention of ambushing him. Unfortunately, he was injured by a ferocious beast and fainted on the ground.
Although his strength was not ordinary, it was already not easy for him to survive under such circumstances.
The two little things shouted and jumped on the dead body, biting on it.
"Hmm?"
After a while, Zhou Yan slowly woke up and opened his eyes.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yan's pupils contracted as his face twitched uncontrollably. He was shocked to the extreme.
On top of the corpse, there were two strange insects. They were about three inches long, black all over, but their heads were sharp, like the tails of scorpions, and there was a needle at the end.
The two bugs were tearing the dead body and eating it. They were so skillful.
Sensing that Zhou Yan had woken up, the two bugs immediately stopped and retreated. They circled around Zhou Yan as if they were looking at a new toy.
"You... What exactly are you?" Zhou Yan's forehead was covered in sweat as he suppressed his fear and asked.
However, the two insects turned a deaf ear and continued to circle around Zhou Yan as if they were observing him.
After a while, Zhou Yan squinted his eyes slightly. He could feel that the aura of the two insects was very weak, but they were extremely stubborn, as if they were not afraid of him at all.
"Humph, they really are not ordinary..."
After a moment, Zhou Yan's eyes slightly narrowed as he said with a slightly sinister expression, "Since you refuse to submit, then don't blame me for ruthlessly destroying your flower!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yan stomped his foot heavily on the ground and leaped into the air, throwing out a fierce punch.
With a dull thud, one of the insects instantly collapsed and turned into a pool of viscous blood.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan frowned as his heart pounded heavily in his chest.
One had to know that these two insects were extremely tough, comparable to refined iron. In the past, no sword or blade could damage them. They could even withstand bullets.
But now, with just a single punch, they had actually shattered!
At the same time, the remaining insect sensed the danger and turned around to escape.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Zhou Yan shouted angrily and chased after it.
In just a moment, Zhou Yan had already caught up to the top of the tree. Stretching out his hand, he grabbed towards the fleeing insect.
Suddenly, the insect spread its four limbs and raised its back, forming two thick legs.
With that, the insect swung its body like a whip towards Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan was caught off guard by this turn of events. He could only barely dodge to the side, but he was still struck on the shoulder. His clothes exploded and two bloody scars appeared on his skin.
With a "hiss," one of his muscles was sliced open.
Feeling the pain, Zhou Yan let go of his hand and gave up on attacking. He quickly distanced himself from the treetop and hid his figure once again.
"Damn it..."
Zhou Yan cursed in a low voice as his expression turned gloomy. He did not expect the two insects to know how to cooperate and play tricks. They were extremely cunning.
On the treetops, the two insects were also extremely vigilant. They were on guard against each other.
After a long while, Zhou Yan's patience finally ran out. Just as he was about to launch an attack, a gust of wind blew past him, causing him to feel relaxed and relaxed.
"Hmm?"
In that instant, the eyes of the two insects lit up as they became excited. They hurriedly turned around and fled.
In the next second, a white figure flew over with incredible speed and grabbed the two insects.
Upon closer inspection, the white figure was an elder with white hair and a youthful face. He gave a kind smile and said, "Good grandson, don't be afraid. Grandfather won't harm you!"
As he spoke, the old man took out a pill and fed it to the two insects. Then, he threw it on the ground.
The next scene shocked Zhou Yan to his core. After consuming the pill, the two insects had grown noticeably in size. Their original two claws had now turned into eight claws.
"Squeak squeak ~"
The two bugs screeched in excitement as if they were enjoying themselves. They then laid down and let the elder stroke their heads. They were like pets, obedient and obedient.
"This is... a Gu worm?" Zhou Yan was stunned and in disbelief.
It was said that the Gu technique was extremely evil and that there were all kinds of strange cultivation methods. Some required treasures, while others required special methods.
Apparently, the Gu was from the ancient era and it had its own consciousness and could recognize someone as its master.
More importantly, the birth of each Gu bug required a large amount of resources and was enough to make normal martial artists go broke.
"How extravagant...."
Zhou Yan muttered to himself, dumbstruck.2
According to the ancient books, the Gu was the foundation of the Gu technique. When cultivated to the peak, one could control the Gu and control them to kill enemies.
In Zhou Yan's impression, the Gu technique manual should be incomplete. How could an expert suddenly appear?
"Squeak squeak ~"
Suddenly, the two bugs struggled and twisted. Their bodies gradually withered and turned into two piles of yellow powder.
This strange scene scared Zhou Yan to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat. He could not help but guess, "Gu Master, could it be a Gu Master?!"
Zhou Yan remembered that Gu Masters were good at raising Gu. They raised insects and could use all kinds of Gu techniques.
However, Gu insects were too rare, and their numbers were extremely few. Once they appeared, they would definitely cause a storm of blood. They would be chased by many martial artists, and there would be no way to escape.
Who exactly was this elder?
While Zhou Yan was deep in thought, the elder slowly walked over and said with a kind smile, "Little brother, hello..."
"Senior..." Zhou Yan hesitated, then cupped his hands and said: "Junior Zhou Yan thanks senior for saving me!"
The old man waved his hand, smiled and explained: "Young man, you misunderstood, I am not a Gu Master."
"Oh?"
Zhou Yan was stunned and confused. Since they were not Gu Masters, where did they find these two insects, and they even had such a strange effect.
