All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 122 The Golden Silkworm Gu Matures, "Falling into the Trap"! (First Update)
Zhou Qing's eyes flickered.

Now he is in the shadows, while Mu Yuan is in the light.

A surprise attack would have a good chance of success.

But he didn't know if Mu Yuan had any other trump cards.

Unless it's a head-on encounter, a 50-60% chance of winning is the same as no chance at all.

Moreover, it's uncertain whether the Witch God Cult has anyone waiting for them at the foot of the mountain.

"never mind."

Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Once all the hundreds of golden silkworm worms have grown up, if we encounter Mu Yuan again, we will definitely give him a big surprise.

Let's let him off the hook for now.

Zhou Qing ordered Er Qing not to make a move and sent Tiger Eagle to fly over the valley, away from Mu Yuan.

The tiger eagle circled over the valley until Mu Yuan walked out of the peach blossom forest, then landed on the treetop to wait for orders.

After Mu Yuan descended the mountain and disappeared into the territory of Black Wind Mountain, Zhou Qing did not rush to the valley. Instead, he told Er Qing not to enter the valley.

Mu Yuan's special return and the burial of something in the valley is highly suspicious.

It is unclear whether he set a trap in the valley.

"Anyway, I have plenty of time, I can just wait patiently."

Zhou Qing gave a cold laugh and turned his attention back to the Wooden King Cauldron.

Listening to the crisp chewing sound of the golden silkworm larvae gnawing on poisonous insects brings a strange sense of peace.

After the golden silkworm larvae had their fill, Zhou Qing returned to town.

However, he did not go to the martial arts school, but returned to his home in Xin'an Lane.

Living at a martial arts school and always staying up all night can easily cause unnecessary trouble.

Although his own home was much simpler, he felt free and unrestrained.

"It's a pity we could start raising silkworms around next month."

Zhou Qing lay on the hard wooden bed, his hands behind his head, looking out at the sky through the window of the silkworm room.

It's already April, but the weather this year seems much colder than it was at this time last year.

Most silkworm farmers estimate that they will not start raising silkworms until May.

Zhou Qing's original plan was to help the villagers of Caisang Village achieve large-scale silkworm farming, but he found that many people had very weak faith in the mountain god, which made him change his plans.

Help that comes too easily doesn't seem so hard-won.

Zhou Qing decided to make things even harder for the villagers.

Anyway, they're used to hardship.

Moreover, their suffering was not caused by Zhou Qing.

Those mountain dwellers with steadfast faith have already improved their lives considerably; the rest of the people, that's their own doing.

Wanting benefits while lacking firm faith—there's no such thing as a free lunch.

In the blink of an eye, another twenty-odd days have passed.

The golden silkworm larvae grew rapidly under Zhou Qing's feeding of a large number of poisonous insects.

During the breeding process, although some weak golden silkworm larvae were severely injured by poisonous insects and were eventually devoured by strong golden silkworm larvae, their overall numbers decreased.

However, the remaining golden silkworm worms were even more powerful.

Therefore, in just over a month, all the Golden Silkworm Gu larvae have entered the mature stage.

Zhou Qing suddenly obtained nearly four hundred mature golden silkworm worms.

He did a simple test, and when four hundred golden silkworm gu worms appeared at once, even the Corpse Gu King dared not be careless.

Zhou Qing has added another trump card.

That night, Zhou Qing finally couldn't resist any longer and decided to go into the valley to find out what was going on.

He repeatedly sent Tiger Eagle out to patrol Black Wind Mountain, and Mu Yuan had been gone for more than ten days without any sign of returning.

These days, Zhou Qing also kept Er Qing away from the valley, for fear that Mu Yuan might have left some traps in the valley.

But so much time has passed, and we can't just stay put on our own turf forever.

Zhou Qing had the tiger eagle fly to the giant peach tree at the entrance of the valley to 'live stream' the whole thing. "Go!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Qing released the Corpse Worm Gu King from the Wooden King Cauldron.

Rather than sending loyal Gu worms like Erqing, Chiyan, and Huying to take risks, Zhou Qing preferred to send the Corpse Worm Gu King to take risks.

In any case, the Corpse Worm Gu King was the strongest Gu worm under his command, possessing an indestructible body and astonishing defensive capabilities.

If Mu Yuan had set a trap in the valley, he could have sent the Corpse Worm Gu King to test its limits.

It is said that there is a sect in Nanli County called the Thunder Sect. This sect combines martial arts with gunpowder and has developed a thunder-fire bomb that can be automatically triggered.

Even a Bone Refining Realm martial artist, who cultivates both internal and external strength, cannot withstand the power of a Thunderfire Bomb when it explodes at close range.

The most treasured artifact of the Heavenly Thunder Sect is a Wind and Thunder Arrow that can only be used once. It contains the power of wind and thunder, and it is said that even a Grand Martial Master at the peak of the Blood Exchange Realm might not be able to withstand this arrow.

However, the Thunder God Sect kept a low profile in the county city and had good relations with various forces. In addition, it had a powerful weapon guarding the sect, so no one dared to provoke it.

Although the Heavenly Thunder Sect never sells high-grade Thunderfire Bullets, regular quality Thunderfire Bullets can still be purchased.

Anyway, given the Corpse Worm King's defensive capabilities, it shouldn't be able to kill you even if it takes a direct hit from a Thunderfire Bomb.

It's because it's usually disobedient!
"hiss!"

Reluctantly following Zhou Qing's orders, the Corpse Worm King went to the Peach Blossom Forest and then entered the valley.

It came to the middle of the muddy ground in the valley, and its six pairs of sharp claws quickly tore through the mud. In a short while, a pit more than a meter deep appeared.

"Wait a minute! I remember it being this spot."

Zhou Qing watched the Corpse Worm Gu King digging in the soil through the Tiger Eagle's audio-visual sharing ability.

Unexpectedly, the Corpse Worm King dug for a long time but found nothing buried underground.

"Move the location of the pit five meters to the left!"

Seeing this, Zhou Qing ordered the Corpse Worm King to stop digging in the same spot and move to another location.

Having received the order, the Corpse Worm King obediently jumped out of the pit.

boom!
The Corpse Worm King reverted to its original form in mid-air. The giant beetle, more than two meters tall and more than one meter wide, crashed down, scattering the mud on the ground in all directions.

It seemed to be a silent protest against Zhou Qing's underutilization of his talents.

Soil flew everywhere. This time, the Corpse Worm King dug down less than half a meter, and a palm-sized black wooden figure flew out with a whoosh.

Immediately afterwards, it crashed into the Corpse Worm King.

Click!

A murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the Corpse Worm King. With a single opening and closing of its sharp pincers, it cleaved the human figure in two.

Zhou Qing didn't even have time to give it an order.

Bang!
The severed human figure exploded with a roar, turning into pitch-black smoke mixed with fine wood chips, instantly enveloping the Corpse Worm King.

Whoosh!
Then the Corpse Worm Gu King emerged from the smoke.

A blood-red character '引' appeared behind it.

"hiss--!!"

The Corpse Worm King seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, letting out a terrifying scream as it rampaged through the valley.

The character '引' glowed brightly red, and the Corpse Worm King went even more frenzied.

"Damn it!"

Zhou Qing's expression darkened, and he immediately used his divine power to suppress the red light.

The words are divided into two parts.

While the Corpse Worm King was suffering, dozens of miles away in a dark cave in Huanglong Mountain.

A middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in a black robe embroidered with gold stood in front of the incense table. He held a bronze compass in one hand and shook a bronze bell in the other, chanting incantations.

After spinning violently, the compass needle finally pointed west.

"found it!"

Dan Chenzi looked in the direction the compass was pointing, his eyes revealing joy.

"The Corpse Worm King! It's mine!"

Dan Chenzi stuffed the compass and bronze bell into his robes and immediately left the cave.
