Chapter 41: Shameless Worms
“A Gu worm more powerful than the Resentful Worm?”
“Yes, I originally had a Gu worm that was on par with the Resentful Worm, which might have helped… Unfortunately, after being controlled by those mysterious people, most of the Gu worms were killed.”
Listening to Gu Yu’s inquiry, Pa Yinan’s expression was not very pleasant as she replied.
The Gu worms she had painstakingly raised for so many years could be said to be like her own children!
However, the Gu master who instigated the attack on Zhongjia Village directly killed their Gu worms.
This grudge must be avenged!
When Gu Yu heard that a stronger Gu worm was needed, he felt a headache coming on. With the strongest Gu master in Zhongjia Village right before his eyes, and even she said there was no way, then there really was no way.
After all, Gu Yu was not from the Southern Border, and he was certainly not a Gu master.
How could he find a Gu worm more powerful than the Resentful Worm in a short period of time to exert pressure…
Though he had seen quite a few Resentful Worm eggs along the way, and even some hatching Resentful Worms, that did not mean those worms were weak and easy to kill!
Without a long sword made of Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice, killing a Resentful Worm would be a very difficult task.
Thus, precisely because of their restraints, the Resentful Worms appeared before Gu Mengyao and her group like helpless little children, with absolutely no chance of winning.
However, if other Gu worms were to face the Resentful Worms, it would evidently not be so easy.
When the Resentful Worms faced their kind, their combat ability was extraordinary.
From this, it can be seen that finding a Gu worm stronger than the Resentful Worm in the current situation was truly as difficult as ascending to heaven!
Even if Zhou Yi was not enamored by Gu Yu’s medicinal powder, he probably would not easily reveal his life-saving trump cards, let alone take action to save others.
If Zhou Yi knew that all this was the doing of his master, he might even turn the tables and ambush him secretly.
“I can see from your attire and speech that you are not from the Southern Border, and you definitely don’t know Gu techniques… Moreover, there are no Gu masters among the other people present. If you want me to immediately raise Gu worms to fight, it is impossible to cultivate a formidable Gu worm in such a short time, so these people can’t be saved—kill them!”
Pa Yinan clearly saw the expressions on Gu Yu and the others’ faces and naturally knew that no one could produce a Gu worm stronger than the Resentful Worm, so she did not continue to hold out hope.
Might as well just kill them!
Better a quick pain than a long one.
As the most powerful Gu master in Zhongjia Village for the past hundred years, she hadn’t raised a Gu worm significantly stronger than the Resentful Worm, so she certainly wouldn’t believe that these few people could surpass her.
Especially since Gu Yu and the others appeared as novices, clearly lacking much knowledge of Gu techniques.
Such being the case, they wouldn’t have raised any formidable Gu worms.
After all, as a Gu master’s ability varies, so does the probability of taming worms.
The higher the ability, the more likely they are to attract high-level Gu worms.
The abilities referred to among Gu masters involve selecting, breeding, and taming worms; the more impressive their performance, the more they can convince high-level Gu worms to acknowledge them, thus willingly accepting blood acknowledgment to become the Gu master’s best combat strength.
“A Gu worm stronger than the Resentful Worm! I happen to have a fat worm here, but I don’t know if it’s stronger than the Resentful Worm.”
Upon hearing Pa Yinan suggest killing them, Gege looked reluctant, while Gu Yu thought for a moment and then shook his head at Pa Yinan.
Although it was Gu Yu who proposed killing them just now, now, listening to Pa Yinan’s explanation, it became evident that they had a chance to test the abilities of the Five-colored Gu worm.
Is it a dragon or a worm? We will see this time!
If the Five-colored Gu worm does not possess higher abilities than the Resentful Worm, Gu Yu would not mind throwing this worm into the cesspit to swim in the filth, it would be quite joyful.
The desire to repeatedly throw the Five-colored Gu worm into the cesspit arose simply because this stubborn worm stubbornly acknowledged its master, which greatly displeased Gu Yu.
Generally speaking, only the things that are obtained with great effort are truly precious.
However, a shameless worm like the Five-colored Gu worm made Gu Yu feel extremely unlucky.
“Oh? You also have a Gu worm? Show it to me.”
“Uh-huh.”
Then, upon hearing Pa Yinan wanted to take a look, Gu Yu did not say much more but directly reached into his clothing, pretending to take out a worm.
Then, when he opened his hand, a multitude of colors immediately emanated.
As the glow dissipated, Gu Yu felt that the fat worm was too showy; it appeared with a special effect.
It was almost blinding.
For this, Gu Yu could not say too much in front of the crowd.
However, in his heart, he was thinking that he needed to teach the fat worm a lesson later so that it would understand the virtue of humility.
If it showed off with such a grand effect, and then was said to be inferior to the Resentful Worm, that would be really slapping itself in the face.
With those thoughts, Gu Yu looked at the worm in his palm and couldn’t understand why this worm evolved so quickly; it had transformed into a Six-colored Gu worm in such a short time.
According to the records in that book on the mysteries of Gu techniques in the Southern Border, it was only one color away from becoming a Seven-colored Gu worm.
At this rate, it might become a Seven-colored Gu worm by tomorrow.
However, this was not the time for such thoughts; he needed to see how powerful it was and whether it could suppress those Resentful Worms!!!
It was not that Gu Yu suddenly grew a kind heart, but he didn’t want those Resentful Worms to be born smoothly, lest they provide significant assistance in the area.
Although Gu Mengyao’s long sword could kill Resentful Worms, others did not possess such capabilities.
They needed to directly eliminate the potential dangers while there was still time.
This way, there would be no significant incidents.
“Pa Yinan, how about this worm!”
After taking out the Six-colored Gu worm, Gu Yu was unsure of the worm’s level, so he could only inquire with Pa Yinan standing before him.
Pa Yinan was always an experienced Gu master, certainly much stronger compared to someone like him who knew nothing!
However, Pa Yinan remained silent for a long time, which made Gu Yu a bit puzzled as he looked up.
Why had she not spoken for so long? Was she so astonished by this fat worm that she couldn’t find her words?
Although Gu Yu had thought the Three-colored Gu worm was quite impressive when he encountered it in Zhongjia Village, who knew how strong the Gu masters in the Southern Border were?
Even a village without a Gu master had such formidable Gu worms guarding it, Gu Yu naturally would not underestimate anyone.
When Gu Yu looked up, he saw Pa Yinan with a shocked expression, her gaze fixed intently on the Six-colored Gu worm, as if she had seen something shocking, her hands even began to tremble.
