Chapter 47 Drink More Hot Water
Gu Yu didn’t know where the mysterious man in black who had held the people of Zhongjia Village hostage was hiding. On his way back in broad daylight, he carefully surveyed his surroundings, wary of an attack that could come at any moment.
After witnessing the devastation of Zhongjia Village, Gu Yu was not naive enough to believe that those people had already left.
He guessed they were hiding in some obscure corner, planning a surprise attack.
Unfortunately, the thought was good.
But in the face of absolute strength, everything is a paper tiger.
Not to mention anything else, Gu Yu felt that if he let his wife deal with them, all of them would be finished.
He left the village alone this time, not only to try his luck in Wancong Valley, but also to lure out the mysterious man in black, to see if they would directly attack him.
If these troubles could be resolved in advance, things would be much simpler afterwards.
At least, there wouldn’t be anyone secretly watching from the shadows…
Although Gu Yu wasn’t worried about how much trouble these people could cause, as a man with normal orientation, he absolutely didn’t want to be constantly stared at from behind by men.
If a pervert were to lick his knife, it would make Gu Yu’s skin crawl.
Unfortunately, even after Gu Yu made himself bait, he still hadn’t managed to lure those people out.
This made Gu Yu realize that the mysterious man in black had big ambitions. Even though he had delivered himself to them, they weren’t interested, likely because they were after even greater gains.
For example, to catch them all in one fell swoop.
However, having ambition was not a bad thing.
The problem was the lack of matching strength and an up-to-date source of information.
For instance, Gu Mengyao’s strength was not as ordinary as it appeared; she was incredibly powerful.
Although he hadn’t managed to lure those people out this time, Gu Yu didn’t take it to heart, thinking of letting his little wife show them some power later.
“Fat worm, since Pa Yinan speaks so highly of you, what powerful abilities do you have?”
On the way back, Gu Yu felt bored and turned to look at the six-colored Gu worm lying on his shoulder, wanting to see what it was capable of.
Knowing that he couldn’t shake off this shameless and clingy worm, Gu Yu decided to get the most benefit out of it.
Pa Yinan was the most powerful Gu master in Zhongjia Village, so her judgment should be good. This six-colored Gu worm might possess extraordinary abilities.
When the six-colored Gu worm heard Gu Yu’s words, it immediately became excited, its body wriggling non-stop, eagerly thinking about how to show off.
Although the six-colored Gu worm sensitively sensed that Gu Yu was no longer thinking of throwing it into the latrine, forming a good relationship with Gu Yu would be a great thing for it.
Perhaps, besides the spiritual energy, Gu Yu had other powerful abilities.
Otherwise, why would it shamelessly insist on acknowledging him as its master!
Thinking about these things, the six-colored Gu worm wasted no more time. It exerted force from an indescribable place, letting out a loud ‘poof’ sound, causing Gu Yu’s expression to change repeatedly. In the end, he chose to reach out and throw the worm off his shoulder onto the ground.
He also stepped on it.
If it weren’t for the sake of civilization, Gu Yu would have wanted to spit on the fat worm.
Damn it, he had been tricked!
Absolutely tricked!
He asked the six-colored Gu worm to use its ultimate skill, and all it did was fart???
It seemed like it would be better to throw it into the latrine to avoid further embarrassment.
Thinking about this, Gu Yu quickened his pace, thinking that if he could get rid of this worm, it would be a good outcome.
Unfortunately, just as Gu Yu was thinking this, the six-colored Gu worm leaped up from the ground like a carp and landed steadily on Gu Yu’s shoulder.
It looked as if it wouldn’t leave no matter what, forcing Gu Yu to sigh helplessly, wondering if he had been too cruel before, which was why he encountered such a shameless worm.
While Gu Yu was sighing inwardly, he didn’t see the colorful cloud-like mist with six colors emerging behind him, constantly rising and spreading. The poisonous insects that passed by, upon seeing the colorful mist, immediately rushed towards it as if bewitched.
A moment later, they turned into a puddle of yellow and green liquid. Not a single insect escaped.
Even other passing animals, upon seeing the colorful mist, rushed towards it desperately as if bewitched.
The result, naturally, was a pool of blood.
The ability possessed by the six-colored Gu worm was called Six-Colored Poison Mist!
If it were to transform into a seven-colored Gu worm, the Six-Colored Poison Mist would directly upgrade to Brilliant Poison Cloud.
It could form a seven-colored cloud in the surrounding sky, directly raining down highly toxic rain. If one were to get caught in it, their body would be corroded by blood and flesh, eventually turning into a pool of blood.
If Gu Yu knew about such a powerful ability, he would be absolutely stunned.
At the same time, he would wonder why the moves from novels were appearing. Wasn’t this supposed to be an ordinary異世界 (otherworldly realm)? How could there be such unnaturally drawn insects that could even cast spells?
In fact, there were many extraordinary people in Linfeng Kingdom, but they had little interest in the worldly affairs. They were all pursuing the alluring path of longevity, completely unwilling to have any contact with ordinary people.
Everything has cause and effect; having a connection means having a cause and effect.
However, such people were extremely rare, so only some deeply-rooted prominent families knew a little about them. Others would never have imagined that such powerful individuals existed.
It was also because the Gu family rose too quickly; it could be said to be a rise from humble beginnings. Naturally, they had no opportunity to know about such individuals.
Of course, even if these extraordinary people were very powerful, their lifespans were also limited.
At most, they would live ten years longer than ordinary people; they would still die when their time came…
What cultivation methods were merely about doing well in health preservation… It was like soaking goji berries in hot water, which was also a way to preserve health.
Drink more hot water.
As for some evil extraordinary individuals who harmed the innocent by virtue of their powerful means, if they were known to the various countries, they would be immediately wanted and executed.
No matter how powerful these extraordinary individuals were, they were no match for the terror of the state apparatus.
Moreover, these extraordinary individuals were only slightly more powerful than normal people. If they encountered a large group of people in a fight, they were also likely to be beaten to death by ordinary people.
Therefore, when extraordinary individuals did bad things, they usually would not reveal their identities and would look for a trustworthy and powerful companion.
For example, what happened in Zhongjia Village…
Gu Yu also obtained a three-colored Gu worm by chance. If it weren’t for the spatial artifact he possessed, he might have been turned into a puddle of blood by the three-colored Gu worm in the cave in Chongmiao Village.
From this, it could be seen that powerful Gu worms were very rare existences.
But…
The spring water in Gu Yu’s spatial artifact was a heaven-defying item that broke the balance. It was hard to imagine what kind of magical changes the six-colored Gu worm would undergo next.
