Chapter 10 Resentful Worms
Seeing that the matter had progressed, Gu Yu no longer thought about playing pranks on his younger brother-in-law.
He quickly stepped forward, and as he reached out to take the long sword from Zhou Yi’s hand, he immediately cut the corpse pieces as required.
As Gu Yu was cutting, he heard a retch, and subconsciously thought it was his younger brother-in-law who couldn’t take it anymore.
However, at such a time, he couldn’t deliberately turn his head to look, otherwise, Gu Mengyao would discover his little trick.
His little wife was very smart!
If she knew he intentionally pranked his younger brother-in-law, she would definitely not let him on the bed for a week…
After Gu Yu finished cutting, Zhou Yi, with a solemn expression, held a tree branch and took out a round object from the corpse pieces.
Afterwards, he quickly washed it with clean water, revealing the true appearance of the round object.
After washing off the red and white stains, the body color of the round object was actually green.
Moreover, at the uppermost part, there was already a small gap.
Like a chick breaking out of its shell, something was about to come out of this circular egg!
Seeing this, everyone around held their breath, their eyes wide open as they looked at the circular egg, wanting to see what kind of monster was inside.
Amidst everyone’s anticipation, the shell of the circular egg continued to crack, peeling off bit by bit in front of everyone.
When what was inside was completely revealed, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.
“Zhou Yi, what is this thing? Why does it look like a hairless monkey? It looks a bit disgusting!”
Gu Yu looked at the ghost-like thing in front of him and couldn’t help but frown, thinking that it could even be used to shoot a horror film!
It would definitely scare timid people into screaming, and they wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.
“Gu Yu, you are a doctor, you should be very familiar with this… This… This is a prematurely born infant that was refined with Gu worms and then placed inside a living person to turn them into medicine people!”
After hearing Gu Yu’s words, Zhou Yi’s solemn expression did not fade.
Immediately, Zhou Yi revealed what was inside the circular egg, which immediately caused an uproar.
No one expected such a result.
Each of these circular eggs was made from a prematurely born infant, such a method was too cruel!
Nobody knew who started it, but with a “puke,” someone directly ran to the side to vomit.
After that, many people followed suit and vomited.
The remaining people, even if they didn’t vomit, their expressions were very displeased.
“Prematurely born infants, Zhou Yi, tell me in detail.”
Gu Yu had a stronger psychological tolerance and did not react as strongly as others at this time.
However, Gu Yu still had some doubts about what Zhou Yi said.
He needed more information, not fragmented clues.
“My master has a lot of books, and I’ve seen this kind of Gu technique in them… It’s about finding infant corpses that were not born normally, and then raising them with Gu worms! Those Gu worms feed on the resentment of dead infants, and the last Gu worm left after the fight will also resemble an infant.”
To Gu Yu’s doubts, Zhou Yi immediately explained.
Hearing this, Gu Yu nodded in understanding and then fell into deep thought.
However, after thinking for a long time, he could not come to a definite answer.
The Southern Border was still too unfamiliar to Gu Yu.
Some special things were things Gu Yu had never encountered before!
“You said earlier that this circular egg can turn people into medicine people, where did that come from?”
Since he couldn’t figure it out, Gu Yu didn’t bother to force himself and instead raised a question to Zhou Yi.
“At first, I thought the first corpse was a medicine person, but after seeing that these five corpses were also medicine people, it made me immediately realize something was wrong! The refinement of medicine people is very difficult, how can so many medicine people be seen so casually!”
When mentioning the word “medicine people,” Zhou Yi couldn’t help but shake his head.
These were all forbidden techniques of the Southern Border. He really didn’t know who was manipulating them from behind the scenes!
He really wasn’t afraid of his ancestors’ graves being blown up!
“Yes, my wife said the same thing! Medicine people are particularly difficult to refine and require quite a lot of rare medicinal ingredients, otherwise, my wife wouldn’t have been so angry when the medicine people didn’t have much effect.”
At this moment, the pale Gege suddenly spoke, agreeing with Zhou Yi’s words.
Although making medicine people was a forbidden technique, their great efficacy made many Gu masters covetous.
Even if they would face retribution, they still wanted to try it!
Then, whoever tried it regretted it…
Medicine people were simply nonsense, and they were not very useful.
It was like chicken ribs.
“As for why these insect eggs can turn people into medicine people, it is also because resentful worms are very difficult to make. Various secret medicinal ingredients need to be added, and after placing the resentful worms into a living person’s body, they will turn the human body into a nest, increasing the spiritual energy circulation. And the resentful worms wait for the incubation to be successful, and then directly break a large hole from the chest position… Because these people don’t know how they died, the spiritual energy supply became a problem, so the growth rate of the resentful worms slowed down, resulting in them not hatching successfully yet.”
When Zhou Yi finished speaking the latter half of his sentence, the people around knew the horror of the Southern Border.
To be able to refine Gu worms like this was truly unexpected!
Compared to the mysterious Southern Border, the prosperous and flourishing Capital was better!
“I see, so what is the effect of these resentful worms? Let’s not talk about the cause of death of these corpses. Just the fact that someone deliberately released so many resentful worm eggs is likely to cause quite a stir!”
Gu Yu raised his hand and touched his chin, then continued to ask questions.
The sudden appearance of these resentful worms made Gu Yu feel that there was a big secret hidden behind them.
Perhaps, it was related to those mysterious people.
However, if the mysterious people were the ones who stole the Imperial Seal, then everyone was an outsider, how would they know so many secrets of the Southern Border?
Or, it was a conspiracy between insiders and outsiders.
These mysterious people had allies in the Southern Border, which is why they caused the Gu worm riot and took control of the Eighteen Villages of the Southern Border.
But, why control the Eighteen Villages of the Southern Border?
These questions emerged one by one from his heart, and Gu Yu suppressed them all after thinking for a while.
There were too few clues now, thinking too much was not a good thing.
It was easy to be led astray, so it was better to observe the situation first!
“Resentful worms are very powerful. As soon as you are bitten by one, you will immediately become mentally confused, and the wound will turn black and rotten… If not treated promptly, you will definitely die at the hands of a resentful worm!”
“Is that all?”
“Hmm… Let me think, there seems to be another effect.”
Listening to Zhou Yi talk about the power of resentful worms, Gu Yu nodded, but he had a premonition that it couldn’t just be such an effect.
To be able to make mysterious people and mysterious Gu masters collaborate to create so many resentful worms, there must be other reasons!
“I remember! These resentful worms can find a mysterious Gu worm, which is said to be the most powerful Gu worm in the Southern Border. As soon as it is born, it will cause bloody storms, which is truly terrifying!”
With Gu Yu’s reminder, Zhou Yi thought hard and finally remembered another effect of resentful worms.
