All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 33 Golden-Backed Centipede (Third update, please continue reading!)
Without having to worry about the miasma, Zhou Qing quickly arrived at the bamboo forest by the stream where he had been before.

After climbing the gentle slope and passing through lush vegetation, a cave less than two meters in diameter comes into view.

"right here."

I'll go first.

The Green Silk Gu was the first to enter the cave.

Zhou Qing followed closely behind.

【Wait a moment. 】

After walking only a few dozen steps, the Green Silk Gu ahead suddenly issued a warning.

boom!
Immediately following was a deafening roar.

【retreat. 】

The Green Silk Gu gestured for Zhou Qing to quickly retreat.

"Boom!"

Small stones kept rolling down the stone walls on both sides of the cave, and dust was hitting Zhou Qing's face in a flurry.

He waved his sleeves and quickly moved towards the cave entrance.

"hiss--!"

As soon as Zhou Qing stepped out of the cave, he heard the roars of strange beasts coming from inside.

"It sounds like a snake?"

Zhou Qing raised an eyebrow.

boom!
Another loud noise came from the cave.

Whoosh!
The Green Silk Gu shot out and landed on Zhou Qing's shoulder.

The next moment, a crimson streak flew out of the cave entrance.

Zhou Qing stared intently and was shocked to see a ferocious centipede that was at least five feet long.

This centipede was entirely crimson, with its carapace covered in pale gold patterns, resembling a burning flame.

It was ferocious and terrifying.

This was Zhou Qing's first reaction.

Handsome!
This was Zhou Qing's second reaction.

Each of the centipede's legs gleamed with a dark bluish-green light, clearly indicating that it was highly venomous.

[Highly poisonous, be careful.]

The Green Silk Gu warns.

Zhou Qing felt a chill run down his spine. Even the Green Silk Gu was so wary of it, so it seemed that the poison of this giant centipede was extremely terrifying.

"Crack, click, click!"

After discovering Zhou Qing at the cave entrance, the giant centipede opened and closed its huge mouthparts, and as its body coiled, the friction of its carapace produced a metallic scraping sound.

"hiss!"

Just as Zhou Qing thought the giant centipede was about to attack him, a giant python darted out of the cave.

This giant python is over fifteen meters long, its entire body is covered with jet-black scales, its head is flat with its head held high, and there is a raised horn above each of its eyes, which at first glance looks like two horns about to grow. When its body moves, it looks like a black ribbon.

"Hi~his~"

When the giant python saw Zhou Qing, its ferocious vertical pupils narrowed slightly, and it flicked its tongue at him, as if it recognized him.

"This is...the same python from last time?!"

Zhou Qing's expression changed as he looked at the giant python's familiar golden vertical pupils.

This appears to be the same giant python that stole his spoils last time.

However, in less than three months, the python's size had increased by nearly half.

This is too exaggerated!
Whoosh!
A dark shadow flashed past Zhou Qing, followed by a sharp whooshing sound.

Zhou Qing tensed up, suddenly exerted force with his feet, and retreated rapidly.

At the same time, he raised his left arm, bent his middle finger, and shot out a poisoned hidden arrow.

boom!
Dust billowed as the giant python retracted its tail, leaving a small crater where Zhou Qing had stood.

Ding!
The hidden arrow struck the giant python's vital spot, but left not even a mark.

"Pfft!!!" The Green Silk Gu's eyes flashed with ferocity, and its fur stood on end. It leaped forward and charged towards the giant python.

Whoosh!
The next moment, the Green Silk Gu was sent flying by the giant python's tail whip.

“Erqing!” Zhou Qing’s expression changed.

"puff!"

Zhou Qing suddenly felt a gust of bloody wind and heard a whooshing sound in his ears.

Turning his head, he saw that the giant centipede had abandoned the python and was now attacking him instead, a pool of black venom shooting straight at his face.

"Damn it!" Zhou Qing could only dodge.

clang!
clang!
Faced with the bluish-black feet that grazed his scalp, Zhou Qing dared not use his hands and could only raise his wood-chopping knife to parry. Unexpectedly, with just one strike, the knife was covered in cracks. On the second parry, the knife shattered completely.

"Pfft!"

At this moment, the Green Silk Gu spat out silk threads, which wrapped around the joints of the giant centipede, restricting its continued attack.

The giant centipede simply shook its body and flung the Green Silk Gu away again.

The Green Silk Gu retracted its silk threads in mid-air, using the force to evade the giant python's attack, and landed on Zhou Qing's shoulder.

We can't beat them.

The Green Silk Gu began to show signs of retreat.

They thought that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman will benefit, but unexpectedly, the giant centipede and the python wanted to eliminate the two of them first.

"Let's slip away!" Zhou Qing's thoughts were completely aligned with those of the Green Silk Gu.

boom!
Before the giant python could launch its next attack, Zhou Qing turned and ran with the Green Silk Gu.

At this moment, the giant centipede let out a terrifying cry, its shell trembled, and it actually chose to pursue Zhou Qing.

"hiss!!"

With a flick of its tail, the giant python struck the centipede's back hard, leaving a noticeable dent in its iron-hard exoskeleton.

Having suffered such a heavy blow, the giant centipede became extremely ferocious, its mouthparts snapping shut as it bit down hard on the python's tail, sparks flying everywhere.

As its scales shattered, the giant python hissed in pain.

Whoosh!
Having landed a successful blow, the giant centipede did not linger in the fight and continued its pursuit of Zhou Qing.

"what happened?!"

Zhou Qing ran for his life.

There's a chance of winning in a two-on-one situation, but there's absolutely no need to fight in a two-on-two situation.

Zhou Qing ran ahead, while the giant centipede chased after him.

"Pfft!"

The Green Silk Gu would occasionally spit out silk threads to attack the giant centipede and slow it down.

After a chase, Zhou Qing arrived at the Wine Immortal Temple.

He rushed into the temple, intending to escape through a hole in the side window.

Unexpectedly, when he fled into the Wine Immortal Temple, the giant centipede stopped at the entrance, raised its upper body, and began to tremble violently, looking furious, but did not chase him into the Wine Immortal Temple.

"Huh?" Zhou Qing was taken aback.

"You're not afraid to come in, are you?"

Zhou Qing looked at the giant centipede and extended an invitation to it.

The giant centipede's exoskeleton creaked as it rubbed against itself, yet it remained stationary.

Just when Zhou Qing thought the giant centipede really wouldn't dare to come in, it raised its upper body high and plunged headfirst into the Wine Immortal Temple.

"!!!"

Zhou Qing's expression changed, and he darted out the window.

"Hi~!"

After a brief delay, the giant python caught up and attacked the giant centipede.

In no time at all, the giant centipede was forced to retreat, its emerald green blood splattering everywhere.

However, the python was also suffering, losing dozens of thumb-sized black scales.

The giant centipede let out a strange cry of resentment and quickly fled the scene.

The giant python persisted and gave chase.

Once the giant centipede and python had left, Zhou Qing quickly stepped forward and collected the fallen scales.

As for the emerald green blood dripping from the giant centipede, it had already corroded a small pit in the ground and seeped into the earth.

The Green Silk Gu spat out silk threads, and the emerald green centipede blood flowed along the threads and was absorbed into its body.

At the same time, the curled lower body of the Green Silk Gu unfolded.

A bright red centipede, no bigger than a little finger, fell to the ground.

The centipede's back was covered with faint golden patterns.

"You?!" Zhou Qing suddenly realized.

No wonder that giant centipede chased them like a madman just now.

【nice one.】

"Puff puff." The Green Silk Gu wrapped the little centipede with its silk threads and raised its head as if to claim credit.

PS: The competition is too fierce now. We only look at the effective reading data (readers who have recharged or spent Qidian coins within the past three months). I didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic during the Chinese New Year. This book currently has a little over 900 readers. It's still a long way from being listed on the Three Rivers list. Please don't let the book sit idle. I will add more chapters if it is listed on the Three Rivers list.
