Chapter 20 The Terrible Old Man is Very Wicked
Perhaps seeing the doubt on Mengyao Gu’s face, Gu Yu waited until the three-colored Gu worm finished eating the carrot, and immediately took out a live chick from his space and threw it towards the table.
When the three-colored Gu worm saw the chick flying through the air, it suddenly spewed out a puff of three-colored smoke, completely enveloping the chick.
When the smoke dissipated, the chick, which was still alive, had turned into a pool of blood.
Seeing this scene, Mengyao Gu couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, clearly not expecting the fat worm in front of her to have such great power.
The Gu worms from the Southern Border are truly magical!
“I also heard from the clan elders of Chongmiao Village about how powerful this worm is, and now it has been proven true after the experiment! However, one thing puzzles me… On the way to the cave, that old geezer said a lot of inexplicable things that I couldn’t understand.”
Gu Yu also had a headache when he said this.
The mysterious appearance of the Chongmiao Village clan elders reminded Gu Yu of the NPCs from the horror games he played on his computer before he transmigrated.
At this moment, if it weren’t for Mengyao Gu by his side, Gu Yu would truly believe that he had transmigrated into a horror game.
That would be too terrifying!
Although Gu Yu felt he had a big胆子, in horror games, it was oppressive and uncomfortable every day, unlike the comfortable life he had now.
Thank God for letting him transmigrate to Linfeng Kingdom…
“Yu, don’t think too much. We can ask the other people from Chongmiao Village tomorrow. They should know! Anyway, the Chongmiao Village clan elder will be in a coma for three days, so we’re not in a hurry to leave here.”
Upon hearing Gu Yu’s troubles, Mengyao Gu couldn’t help but chuckle softly. She gently reached out and patted Gu Yu’s hand, then fetched hot water to wash up. Afterwards, the two held each other and spent a sweet and comfortable night.
The night passed without incident, and morning arrived in the blink of an eye.
The next day, early in the morning, Gu Yu was too comfortable to get out of bed.
Indeed, only the bed was the most comfortable place.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t laze in bed as usual, as there were still problems to resolve!
Gu Yu didn’t want to delay Mengyao Gu’s and the others’ itinerary because of himself, so he had to get the answer to the question quickly.
Since he wanted to be quick, he had to use the simplest and most brutal method.
“Lord Gu, please ask whatever questions you have. I will tell you everything I know, without holding anything back! Even embarrassing things like wetting the bed at night, I won’t hide anything.”
“…”
After Gu Yu called Zhang San into the room, Gu Yu didn’t beat around the bush. Instead, he directly took out a silver ingot from his arms.
This silver ingot was extremely heavy, and when Gu Yu placed it on the table, it made a dull thud.
Through the half-open window, sunlight shone on the silver, emitting an alluring glow.
This made Zhang San feel a bit anxious, thinking that it was much clearer to see during the day than at night!
This large silver ingot was truly precious!
It was a profitable business to just ask some questions and get this silver.
Of course, it was also because the guardian god of Chongmiao Village had recognized Gu Yu, which made Zhang San consider Gu Yu as one of their own, naturally having nothing to hide.
However, Zhang San didn’t know… that the guardian god of their village had already been stolen by Gu Yu.
Moreover, because the carrot Gu Yu gave was too delicious, it had now recognized only Gu Yu. Even if the Chongmiao Village clan elder woke up and summoned it, it would not return to Chongmiao Village.
“Alright then, I’ll start asking. How much do you know about your village’s guardian god?”
Hearing Zhang San say he would even reveal his bedwetting secrets, Gu Yu was speechless. However, he could feel that the other party was blinded by greed and wouldn’t hide anything from him.
This would also make the conversation smoother, and it might even be possible to get an answer from Zhang San.
“I don’t actually know much about the guardian god. I only know that the three-colored Gu worm we worship is the guardian god because in the previous generation of Chongmiao Village, there was a very powerful Gu master. Although he died young and left early, he left behind a powerful three-colored Gu worm!”
“When I was young, the guardian god protected our village, and people from other villages were very afraid of Chongmiao Village! Even when I walked outside, other people didn’t dare to provoke me… Cough cough, I’ve gone off topic, let’s get back to the guardian god.”
“Although the guardian god protected our village, it didn’t do so for free. It required the spiritual energy of many people to nourish it!”
While listening to Zhang San’s lengthy explanation, Gu Yu carefully picked out useful information.
Although Zhang San claimed to know not much, what he had said so far was enough!
At least, it wouldn’t make Gu Yu wander around like a headless fly, unable to find his direction.
“Spiritual energy? Human spiritual energy?”
“Yes, that’s why the clan elder dragged you over yesterday, wanting the guardian god to test it.”
“If your ‘test’ failed, would I have died?”
“This…”
Afterwards, Zhang San became somewhat hesitant when listening to Gu Yu’s questions.
However, this reaction already gave Gu Yu an answer.
But Gu Yu wasn’t angry about this at all.
He already knew that that old geezer was very wicked, so he had made full preparations before entering that cave.
Otherwise, with his little wife’s skills, flattening this Chongmiao Village would be a small matter.
However, his wife didn’t like to kill too much, and Gu Yu didn’t want to see her troubled.
Of course, the desire to steal the three-colored Gu worm was still stirring within him.
After hearing what Zhang San said today, Gu Yu pieced together the development of the matter, and then easily obtained the answer.
The reason the Chongmiao Village clan elder said those strange words was because he believed that the three-colored Gu worm would eat him and merge with him, becoming the guardian of Chongmiao Village.
The three-colored Gu worm of Chongmiao Village was left by a Gu master who had already died, wanting to protect the village in his stead.
However, Chongmiao Village did not have a successor Gu master.
The three-colored Gu worm thus had no nourishment from spiritual energy, causing it to weaken rapidly, which made the Chongmiao Village clan elder anxious.
Then, from who knows where, he heard about a method to strengthen the Gu worm using the spiritual energy of others.
Therefore, various excuses were used to feed some people to the worm.
And their group happened to run into this situation, making the clan elder want to feed all of them to the worm.
No, this speculation was not entirely accurate.
It wasn’t them, it was just him.
But why did that old geezer choose him?
“Zhang San, do you know why your clan elder chose me?”
After Gu Yu had this question in his heart, he didn’t keep it to himself anymore. He directly threw out this question, wanting Zhang San to provide an explanation.
