Chapter 18: Crispy Crunch Bites
All the people present did not expect Gu Yu to take the initiative to meet the guardian god of Chongmiao Village.
Even some were impatient.
Zhang San even had a strange feeling, thinking that if he stopped Gu Yu at this moment, he might be severely beaten by him…
The clever Gu Qingheng had already figured out Gu Yu’s intentions and immediately pulled his sister to a slightly farther place, chattering for a long time.
Gu Mengyao’s expression kept changing, and finally, she showed a look that was a mixture of crying and laughing.
Afterwards, she did not stop Gu Yu.
This made Zhou Yi in the team frown, not knowing what the Gu family was planning?
Even if Gege didn’t know what the guardian god of Chongmiao Village was, it didn’t mean Zhou Yi didn’t know.
From his master’s books, he knew that each village had its unique guardian god, protecting the safety and tranquility of the village.
However, to put it bluntly, these village guardian gods were Gu worms.
All sorts of powerful Gu worms.
Usually, when the clan elders of a village asked someone to meet the guardian god, it was not a good thing.
Most of the time, they would be sent back as a corpse.
Thinking of these, Zhou Yi didn’t know if the clan elder of Chongmiao Village was crazy, actually letting Gu Yu go to his death.
If Gu Yu really died, Gu Mengyao would dare to wash Chongmiao Village with blood.
There was another doubt, and that was Gu Yu being too proactive.
Based on his observation of Gu Yu during this period, Zhou Yi believed that Gu Yu was a cautious and meticulous person with a super strong judgment ability regarding danger.
However, now he was actively asking to meet the guardian god of Chongmiao Village, without any fear.
Moreover, why was Gu Mengyao, who was very resistant before, now so easily agreeing?
Such behavior revealed strangeness, making Zhou Yi feel like his head was about to explode from thinking.
What exactly do the clan elder of Chongmiao Village and Gu Yu want to do!
Just as Zhou Yi couldn’t figure it out no matter how he thought about it, Gu Yu walked towards the cave where the guardian god resided with the clan elder of Chongmiao Village. Gu Mengyao and others stood in place waiting for him to return.
On this trip, there were only the clan elder of Chongmiao Village and Gu Yu, no third person accompanied them.
In this regard, Gu Yu was like someone barefoot, not afraid of those with shoes, no matter what tricks Chongmiao Village had, let them use them all now!
He really didn’t believe that anything could be stronger than his space.
“Doctor Gu, I don’t want to make things difficult for you, but I have unspeakable difficulties!”
Walking on the road to the cave, the clan elder of Chongmiao Village changed his previous tough demeanor and spoke with some emotion.
As if remembering something, under the illumination of the torch in his hand, he seemed to have seen a divine miracle, and his face showed an expression of crazy worship.
This kind of performance did not reassure Gu Yu, but instead made him feel somewhat strange.
What exactly did the clan elder of Chongmiao Village want to do.
“I know you find it very strange now, but you will thank me in the future, you will thank me…”
Even though Gu Yu did not reply, the words from the mouth of the clan elder of Chongmiao Village did not stop.
However, as he spoke towards the end, he kept repeating “you will thank me,” which only increased Gu Yu’s doubts.
Thanking him for bringing him to the cave to feed the worms?
That would truly thank his ancestors for eight lifetimes.
Even though Zhou Yi and the others did not explain what the guardian god was, Gu Yu had guessed it.
After all, this is the Southern Border…
What else could there be besides bugs.
And for the people of Chongmiao Village to revere it as a guardian god, it should be a powerful Gu worm, not an ordinary poisonous insect.
Poisonous insects and Gu worms, these two types of insects have differences.
Poisonous insects are natural products, while Gu worms are man-made products.
People put some poisonous insects in a container and let them fight to the death, and the last remaining insect is the Gu worm.
Afterward, some secret methods are used to nurture it, and the power of the Gu worm will be even greater.
In fact, some Gu worms raised by powerful Gu masters can understand human speech and can be driven by the Gu master…
Thinking about the information seen in novels, Gu Yu didn’t know if his thoughts were correct… However, when he reached the cave later, he would resolve the doubts in his heart.
Therefore, when the two finally arrived at the entrance of the cave, Gu Yu was even more anxious than the clan elder of Chongmiao Village, and directly strode in, leaving the clan elder of Chongmiao Village behind.
After all, the physical condition of the clan elder of Chongmiao Village was not good, with old arms and legs, naturally not as agile as a young person like Gu Yu.
Therefore, the clan elder of Chongmiao Village was left behind and could not catch up for a while.
And Gu Yu, with the illumination of the torch in his hand, walked quickly in the cave and reached the deepest part of the cave in a short time.
Seeing a clay pot placed on a simple table in front, Gu Yu did not wait for the clan elder of Chongmiao Village to catch up before speaking. He placed one hand on the red mole at the corner of his eye and quickly opened the lid of the clay pot with the other hand.
Instantly, three-colored light shone brilliantly in the cave, making Gu Yu feel amazed.
This light was comparable to modern colored light bulbs!
If this were to be taken out, young women and little wives in the capital would like it very much and would definitely earn a lot of silver.
Just as Gu Yu was secretly thinking of mastering this technology, a fat worm with red, yellow, and blue colors crawled out of the jar and slowly crawled towards Gu Yu.
The worm did not look terrifying, but was plump and looked like it would be crispy and crunchy to eat, like beef.
This made Gu Yu no longer afraid, he only felt regret that he could not master the colorful light technology.
Even if he knew how to make this three-colored Gu worm, those women would not like to use worms as light bulbs…
“Cough, cough, this is the guardian god of our village!”
The three-colored Gu worm crawled very slowly. By the time the clan elder of Chongmiao Village arrived, the worm had not yet reached Gu Yu.
This made Gu Yu suddenly doubt if this sluggish worm had any special characteristics to become the guardian god of Chongmiao Village?
“This is your guardian god?”
“Yes! The powerful three-colored Gu worm can turn anyone with malicious intent towards the village into blood and black bones!”
While Gu Yu was confused, the clan elder of Chongmiao Village had a proud expression, making it even more incomprehensible for Gu Yu.
However, at this moment, the three-colored Gu worm suddenly accelerated.
It rushed straight towards Gu Yu like lightning, giving Gu Yu no time to think. As he raised his hand to grab the Gu worm, his space immediately activated.
At the same time, Gu Yu took out a poisonous insect similar to the three-colored Gu worm from his space and held it directly in his hand.
Because Gu Yu had studied the Poison Scripture, his space always contained all kinds of poisonous insects, both alive and dead. At this moment, he directly took out a dead insect.
He squeezed it hard, and some yellow-green liquid leaked out from between his fingers.
Thus, under the horrified gaze of the clan elder of Chongmiao Village, Gu Yu reached out and crushed the guardian god to death.
