Chapter 34 Men’s Pride
When Mengyao Gu returned, she no longer had the large rooster in her hands, implying the outcome.
However, she couldn’t help but frown when she saw that the numerous Imperial Guards had disappeared.
But, upon seeing the smile on Gu Yu’s face, she immediately realized that Gu Yu had taken them into his space.
After all, Qingheng was not here either.
“Mengyao, I think it’s too dangerous later, so it’s better to have fewer people.”
“Mm, Yu, you’ve been a great help! I just went to Zhongjia Village again and found that the men there are indeed a bit strange! After I threw the rooster over, a group of people chased after it. By the time they caught it, they didn’t even bother to start a fire and tore it into pieces alive.”
Gu Yu did not hide anything and immediately recounted what had happened after Mengyao Gu appeared.
This approach earned Gu Yu Mengyao’s praise, making Gu Yu’s heart swell with pride.
However, upon hearing Mengyao Gu’s subsequent words, Gu Yu’s smile faltered, and he pondered that it was not easy to go to Zhongjia Village this time!
The men infected with the resentful worms had all become like this, and even if they recovered, they wouldn’t be much better.
It was only Gege who was fortunate enough to leave this village.
However, even though the road ahead was treacherous, he could not give up as he came with a mission.
Now, with a large reduction in the number of team members, they could travel light.
“I guessed before that the spiritual energy that Zhou Yi mentioned before is very important for the Gu worms in the Southern Border! However, I am very curious how these men who are carrying resentful worms can absorb spiritual energy from other people’s bodies!”
Thinking that he had to go whether he wanted to or not, Gu Yu was too lazy to think of anything else.
And when talking about the men in Zhongjia Village absorbing spiritual energy, Gu Yu was very curious, wondering if these guys needed to drink blood and eat meat to supplement the spiritual energy in their bodies?
If that were the case, the conversion rate would be too poor!
No wonder that fat worm was so eager to forcefully recognize its master.
Thinking of the Five-colored Gu worm, Gu Yu felt a wave of frustration, thinking that when he had time, he would definitely play with this worm and make it dare to scheme against him.
“Old immortal, I know this! My wife plays with insects. Whenever she doesn’t have enough spiritual energy, she will select quite a few Gu worms and have them fight each other for the spiritual energy in each other’s bodies! Besides that, she needs the blood of other creatures to nourish them and absorb spiritual energy from them.”
When Gu Yu asked doubtfully, he did not expect to get an answer.
However, Gege, who was standing nervously beside him, suddenly spoke, giving Gu Yu a very detailed explanation.
This gave Gu Yu a deeper understanding of spiritual energy and allowed him to know the true nature of his spatial spring water.
It could replenish and increase spiritual energy in the body, making people smarter and healthier, and allowing creatures like Gu worms to upgrade quickly.
Pure natural, harmless.
In short, it was very good spring water.
If it weren’t for the poverty of the Southern Border, Gu Yu would have wanted to settle down in the Southern Border and sell spring water. He would definitely make a fortune!
Ahem, for some reason, as he thought, his mind kept drifting towards money.
“Now there are only four of us. We can let Zhou Yi take Gege, and I’ll take Yu, and quickly enter Zhongjia Village… There’s something I haven’t had time to say yet. I saw more than a dozen women in a cave in Zhongjia Village, and their bellies were also big.”
After quietly listening to Gege’s words, Mengyao Gu finally spoke.
However, this sentence was like a shattering blow, making Gege like a weak flower in a storm, about to faint.
Women, with big bellies… Connecting this to the screams they had just heard, Gege had a very bad premonition.
Could it be that his wife was in trouble!
“The women’s bellies are also big? Could they also be carrying resentful worms? If that’s the case, then Zhongjia Village is truly miserable!”
“It doesn’t seem like it, because those women were restricted in their freedom and did not move around freely like the men in Zhongjia Village.”
“That’s a bit strange. We should go and see for ourselves!”
Compared to Gege’s worry and helplessness, Gu Yu did not take it seriously. Anyway, the people of Zhongjia Village had nothing to do with him, so why should Gu Yu, like a saint, worry about them!
To call Gu Yu cold and inhuman, that was his personality before.
He only had some enthusiasm for the people close to him, but for others, it was just a social act.
With Gu Yu’s personality, if he hadn’t met Mengyao Gu and her brother at the beginning, no one would have known what kind of development he would have.
However, the gears of fate were constantly turning, and there was no need to think too much about what had already happened.
In this life, Gu Yu met Mengyao Gu.
“Okay, let’s set off now! The guards there are not very strong, but rather lazy. I don’t know if it’s a deliberate trap.”
“Regardless of whether it’s intentional or not, we have to go and see, but we are not docile little fish, but piranhas with full mouths of teeth.”
Listening to Mengyao Gu’s worries, Gu Yu smiled slightly.
With such words, Mengyao Gu couldn’t help but smile, and she wasn’t as tense as before.
As long as Gu Yu was by her side, it seemed that any difficulty could be easily resolved, and there was no need to worry too much.
Thinking of this, Mengyao Gu happily took Gu Yu’s hand, her joy clearly expressed.
And when Gu Yu saw his little wife looking like this, he felt relieved, worried that Mengyao Gu was under too much pressure.
Compared to his leisurely travels, Mengyao Gu had to lead many people and find the Imperial Seal, carrying a heavy responsibility.
Therefore, Gu Yu wanted to share Mengyao Gu’s worries and finish the trip to the Southern Border as soon as possible.
However, he felt that this time it was not easy.
The main thing was to rescue the hostages, and if there was still time, they might have to deal with those who were carrying resentful worms, which made Gu Yu feel a little depressed, thinking that he was not such a saintly person to save others for free.
However, in front of his little wife, Gu Yu always had to pretend.
This should be the pride of a man!
“Yu, we’ve arrived at the cave. Should we go in?”
Just as Gu Yu was pondering these things, Mengyao Gu gave an order and quickly headed towards Zhongjia Village, with Zhou Yi bringing Gege to follow behind.
However, because Mengyao Gu’s speed was too fast, before Gu Yu could even react, they had already passed the area of men carrying resentful worms and arrived in front of the cave where the women were being held.
This made Gu Yu secretly praise his little wife’s martial arts skill, and then he looked up at the cave ahead, wondering what else was in there besides the imprisoned women.
The Gu techniques in the Southern Border were not just one kind!
