Chapter 40 A Bit Too Sudden
Speaking of the encounter in Wancong Valley, Pa Yinan’s memory was a bit hazy.
However, overall, it was still clear.
Because she had seen a shocking scene in Wancong Valley!
“After all the resentful worms died, you saw a dragon circling in Wancong Valley?”
When Gu Yu heard Pa Yinan’s words, his brows couldn’t help but furrow, and he pondered whether Pa Yinan was telling the truth.
Although the Imperial Seal was involved now, suddenly a dragon appeared…
It was rather sudden.
“What I said is true! That dragon was very powerful, and no one could get close to it! After seeing the dragon, those mysterious men in black who were holding me captive were immediately consumed by greed. More than half of them ran towards the valley, wanting to find something they could control to take the dragon away…”
Perhaps seeing the disbelief on Gu Yu’s face, Pa Yinan sighed and then spoke seriously.
If Pa Yinan hadn’t experienced it herself, she wouldn’t have believed anyone else telling her this!
But now, this was the reality.
Whether you believe it or not, she saw a dragon!
A real dragon!
“What happened next?”
Although Gu Yu didn’t believe it, he didn’t argue with Pa Yinan about it. Instead, he continued to ask about the subsequent developments.
Pa Yinan had been imprisoned for several months, and if she had been beaten or tortured during that time, it would be easy for her to imagine some baseless things.
Or, if her physical condition was poor, she might have been brainwashed.
Although Pa Yinan appeared very calm now, no one knew what her inner state was, so everything was uncertain.
Moreover, even if Pa Yinan really saw a dragon, it wouldn’t have much to do with Gu Yu!
After all, Gu Yu had come to the Southern Border this time only to find the stolen Imperial Seal… Dragons or ghosts had nothing to do with him. It would be better to find the Imperial Seal sooner and leave the Southern Border earlier.
“Those greedy people were punished. With every step they took forward, their flesh and blood were quickly stripped from their bodies, eventually turning into piles of white bones… The remaining mysterious men in black took us away and did not go back to Wancong Valley.”
“To be honest, after hearing you talk about it just now, there’s one thing that makes me very curious… What was the use of you Gu Masters whose spiritual energy was sealed? In the end, they even let you go back.”
After hearing Pa Yinan explain the outcome, Gu Yu pondered for a moment and immediately asked the question.
It felt strange when he heard it just now, and later he thought about why Pa Yinan and the others were brought to Wancong Valley for no reason, and in the end, nothing happened.
Was it just to invite them to watch a show?
“Because after we Gu Masters were sealed, our bodies were filled with spiritual energy, so they wanted to hold a sacrifice in Wancong Valley! To offer our souls and make the dragon appear… However, before they could make a move, the dragon appeared.”
“So that’s how it is…”
When Gu Yu heard about the sacrifice, he immediately nodded, understanding what Pa Yinan and the others had gone through.
After all, there were many descriptions of sacrifices in novels, so Gu Yu knew a thing or two.
And the dragon she saw was probably not fake.
“However, there’s one thing that’s not right. It’s not that they let us go back to a distant place, but the Gu Masters from Zhongjia Village, except for me, are all dead! They should have been thrown into the cellar by now to become food for the resentful worms.”
When talking about the other Gu Masters from Zhongjia Village, Pa Yinan couldn’t help but feel some emotion. She never expected that the child in her womb would save her life.
After all, the other Gu Masters were all men…
Although they could also serve as hosts for the resentful worms, because they had some control over the Gu worms, the mysterious people were worried about errors, so they would rather kill them with a single blow than leave potential trouble.
After listening to Pa Yinan’s words, Gu Yu had a general understanding of what had happened so far.
Especially when he heard Pa Yinan mention that the mysterious people were going to look for the dragon, he understood that his previous guess was very accurate.
What Lin Qianshan wanted was not power or money, but that dragon.
To call it a dragon is a bit too ethereal.
It should be said to be a worm related to the dragon!
In other words, that mysterious Gu worm is related to the dragon… However, it was difficult for Gu Yu to imagine what a dragon-like worm would look like.
It had to be said that Lin Qianshan was truly formidable. While others were still playing with worms, he wanted to play with dragons.
However, it was obvious that dragons were not that easy to control, so he failed.
As a result, more resentful worms were bred at this time.
With so many resentful worms now, Gu Yu vaguely guessed that Lin Qianshan’s mental state was not very good, and he was on the verge of going crazy.
Could it be that he wanted to win by numbers?
However, what was the use of these resentful worms that were instantly killed, no matter how many there were?
“Pa Yinan, do you know why the other party wants so many resentful worms?”
“So you’ve noticed! In the past month, the mysterious people have been rapidly increasing the number of resentful worms. They should be trying to lure the dragon out again with a large number of resentful worms.”
As expected, having a powerful Gu Master by his side could answer any question!
When Gu Yu learned that a certain number of resentful worms could attract the hidden thing in Wancong Valley, he immediately felt that the dragon they were looking for was not a good thing either, as it could be attracted by these resentful worms.
“The reason for using resentful worms to attract it is also because resentful worms contain a large amount of spiritual energy. As long as they are killed, the spiritual energy within them will directly dissipate, and then be quickly absorbed.”
Gu Yu did not hide anything, so he did not have any reverence for the dragon, which was not a good thing, and instead felt very disgusted.
This made Pa Yinan have to speak up and explain a little.
However, it did not seem to have any effect, and Gu Yu still did not think that the dragon was any good.
“If that’s the case, then I can’t let the other party’s plot succeed! Are the men from Zhongjia Village who are carrying resentful worms still savable? If not, I’ll just kill them all.”
Thinking of the men from Zhongjia Village who had lost their minds, Gu Yu frowned and said something that made Ge Ge involuntarily shiver.
After experiencing what happened before, Gu Yu was no ordinary person in Ge Ge’s eyes, but an old immortal who had descended from heaven.
Although he didn’t know why the immortal couldn’t heal the people of Zhongjia Village, he didn’t doubt Gu Yu at all when he heard Gu Yu talk about killing people!
Ge Ge had been in Zhongjia Village for so many years, and although he had some minor conflicts with the villagers, they were still from the same village, and he didn’t want to see these people die like this!
And Pa Yinan, who was sitting next to Ge Ge, seeing the unyielding look in Ge Ge’s eyes, did not directly say that they were beyond saving, but carefully thought about it.
“As long as the resentful worms have not broken out of the body, they can still be saved, but it requires a Gu worm that is more powerful than the resentful worms to release its pressure, otherwise these resentful worms will not easily give up the bodies they have parasitized.”
Upon thinking about it, Pa Yinan did come up with a solution, but it was a bit difficult…
Where could she find a more powerful Gu worm?
