Chapter 172: Plotting against the Gu worm
Chapter 172: Plotting against the Gu worm
Although killing someone and taking away the Gu is simple and quick, the lives of the Gu worm and the Gu master are intertwined.
When the Gu Master dies, the Gu worm will die as well.
When the natal Gu worm dies, the Gu master loses his foundation and will not live long.
Therefore, there is absolutely no need to go to Qingshizhai to do such things.
Although after the third stage, in addition to the natal poisonous insect, other poisonous insects can also be refined.
But after all, the other person helped him learn the Gu language, and although it was to repay his kindness in saving the lives of the villagers, he still had a good feeling about it.
Therefore, he did not intend to destroy the village and seize the Gu worms. He just wanted to sneak into the place where the Gu worms were cultivated, to see how the Qingshi village cultivated the Gu worms, and to take away some larval stage Gu worms.
Fang Xiao made up his mind and decided not to stay any longer, and set off immediately.
The cave he was in now was not far from Qingshi Village, and it didn't take him much time to sneak back.
However, he did not make any move, but hid outside the village for several days to see if Sang and Wu could find his trace.
After many attempts, it was confirmed that these two people might have perception and warning insects, but they definitely had not reached the third level, and they were completely unaware of his whereabouts.
The reason why Fang Xiao made such a bold attempt was that this place was basically undefended to him.
This poisonous insect world has indeed dug its tunnels to an extremely deep degree, but in other aspects, it is far inferior to the world of immortal cultivation.
Among the four common arts of cultivating immortals, elixir, talisman and formation, there is no sign of their existence at all. Only the art of refining equipment has made some progress, but it seems to be unsatisfactory.
Otherwise, any formation or warning talisman could expose Fang Xiao's tracks.
It is impossible to say that the Gu worm does not have similar functions, but how could a remote branch like Qingshi Village have the ability to build a complete Gu worm system.
In Fang Xiao's opinion, the only thing about these two people is that they are slightly stronger physically. Their magic power and soul are simply forcibly brought up by the insect when it was promoted. If they were cultivators, they would basically be stuck at the lowest limit of their current realm.
It seemed to him that if he randomly compared his spiritual awareness with that of a Jindan cultivator, the difference between the two would not be even a tiny bit.
"No wonder they ignored my consciousness. Although there are reasons for concealment, the main reason is that the gap between the soul and spirit is too big. It seems that the Gu Master path is indeed quite promising, but there are also many disadvantages. Although they have studied this path deeply, they have no knowledge of other aspects. They don't even have a storage device. They can really be called a mudslide in cultivation. They are only slightly stronger than the primitive tribes. With this level, they are still in opposition to the cultivators? I feel that any holy land can easily crush them."
Of course, this is also based on the judgment made by Sang and Wu from Qingshi Village, and cannot be used to compare the entire Gu Master world. Maybe they have some kind of magical means.
If you want to return to the world of cultivating immortals, you still cannot be careless and need to be more careful.
However, Fang Xiao was now able to ensure his safety and there was no risk of being exposed, so his courage gradually grew.
After concealing his figure and breath, he began to sweep the village unscrupulously, and even took advantage of the absence of Sang and Wu to search their homes.
However, Fang Xiao searched the entire village but could not find their inheritance of the Gu worms or the place where they were cultivated.
"You are indeed very cautious, but this does not bother me."
During these days of searching in the village, he did not gain nothing. At least he got some useful information from the conversations with the villagers.
It turned out that recently, three children had reached the age for vaccination with insect poisons. During a conversation with their neighbors, they heard that a poison master had come to their home to inform them to prepare early for the weak period after the children were vaccinated.
Fang Xiao was certain that one of Sang Wu and Sang Mo would take the three children to the place where the poisonous insects were bred.
After all, when people choose the Gu worm, the Gu worm is also choosing its companion. They need to sense each other to find the most suitable one.
This is Fang Xiao's opportunity. He only needs to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the three children and wait patiently, and he can easily find the location where the poisonous insects are cultivated.
……
What Fang Xiao didn't know was that when he sneaked back into Qingshi Village.
On a plain not knowing how far away from him, stood a magnificent city. One could vaguely see the architectural style of Qingshizhai, but its scale was no less than those of the major immortal cities in the world of immortal cultivation.
This place is where the Qingmiao tribe, to which Qingshi Village belongs, is located.
There were many shops in the city, and it was bustling with people.
Not only that, as far as the eye can see, there is not a single mortal being, they are all first-rate Gu Masters, second-level Gu Masters are everywhere, and first-level Gu Masters are as numerous as dogs, showing a prosperous scene.
At this moment, a giant insect ten feet long suddenly flew out from a high tower in the center of the city. Its whole body was shiny black, as if it was made of mixed gold. The six wings on its back were as thin as cicada wings, and there was a faint glow flowing from them, which was extremely extraordinary.
All the Gu Masters in the city saw this, but not many were surprised. It seemed that they saw it so often that they were no longer surprised.
They just paused for a moment, then stopped paying attention and continued with their own business.
At this time, the giant insect flapped its six wings violently, and only its vague shadow was left on the spot, while its real body had already gone outside the city wall.
I never thought that with such a huge body, its flying speed is not inferior to that of a cultivator in the late Jindan stage.
Because it was so fast, the Gu Master could only vaguely see a few blurry figures standing on it. However, looking at the direction it was flying to, it was actually the area where Qingshi Village was located.
There were five figures on top of the six-winged giant insect, three men and two women. Judging from the aura they exuded, they were all third-level Gu Masters who were far superior to the Sang and Wu brothers.
"I have heard of the monk before, but I have never had the chance to see him. I wonder if you four can let me have this person so that I can try out the monk's methods."
The person who spoke was a burly man with red hair and a half-naked upper body. He was carrying a huge sword on his back that was taller than himself. It seemed that he was quite capable in close combat.
The white-haired man standing at the front glanced back at him, then looked straight ahead and said, "I know that you are the most aggressive in the Zhanman tribe, but those cultivators have endless tricks, which are most effective against those of you who are good at close combat. In addition, the people of Qingshi Village also mentioned that this cultivator is very powerful, so we can't afford to be careless. It's best for you to attack together and not give him any chance to breathe."
"Humph, you Qingmiao tribe are always so cautious. How much ability can a small branch in a remote area have? I'm afraid that in their eyes, every person is a tyrannical existence."
The face of Gu Master Tu was full of disdain, and he was also dissatisfied that he was not allowed to fight alone.
