Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 55 Using yourself as bait
"Okay, okay, you don't believe I can solve the case?"

Gao Sheng was very dissatisfied with the Beast Taming Sect's disciple who looked down on him.

"Since you are here to investigate this matter as well, let's see who can come up with a result first!"

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Lin Jing confused.

"He seems to really want to investigate the case, but I feel like he's not cut out for it," Lin Jing said.

Shen Song: "You are a young human cub, you still need to grow up. But you have the heart to fight against demons and defend the way, which is worthy of encouragement, even though I am a demon cultivator."

"Kamimatsu-senpai, could you please stop telling those hell jokes?"

At this time, Lin Jing deduced based on the existing intelligence: "So, Senior Brother Ouyang's poison and the disappearance of the spirit beast in Snow Moon City were not man-made?"

"There should be an ownerless Gu insect active in Xueyue City."

"The ice-attributed spirit beast mysteriously disappeared. It was fed by a poisonous insect."

"The reason why I infer that it is an ownerless Gu is because if a Gu Master was feeding the Gu worms, there would be no need to cause a commotion in Snow Moon City. There are ownerless ice beasts everywhere in the snowfield. Coming to provoke the Beast Taming Sect and Snow Moon City is like lighting a light in the toilet, seeking death."

"Brother Ouyang, it should be that he was injured by the Gu insect by chance... Maybe his Yang energy is too strong, which makes the ice Gu dislike him. Yang and cold conflict~"

"It's also possible that ice is yin, and the ice poison wanted to absorb yang to replenish yin, and thus hurt them!"

Shen Song said: "You are on par with Gao Sheng."

Lin Jing: "It should be a little stronger, right?"

"In short, if it is an ownerless Gu, then it will be much easier to deal with. Whether it is a bug or a Gu insect, it is said that their IQ is not high." Lin Jing said: "Senior Shensong, can you find the other party's location?"

"If I can't find it, I'll take action."

Shen Song said: "It is indeed faster to find it in your way than in my way."

Soon, a snow-white rabbit with blue eyes jumped on the snow.

This is the forest scene after thousands of changes.

In fact, most of the snow rabbits raised in the Beast Valley are only at the Qi training level, and their intelligence is not yet developed. Such snow rabbits can attract ice Gu, so Lin Jing prepared more powerful ingredients.

Although he had only transformed into a Qi-cultivating snow rabbit, but... there was a wound on the rabbit's leg. The wound exuded a faint scent of immortal blood!

The immortal body is a fatal temptation to monsters, and naturally to poisonous insects as well.

"Cuckoo~"

"Cuckoo~"

Lin Jing sang and danced at the same time.

A night of wind and snow.

Lin Jing's face turned purple from the cold.

He took a look inside the beast-controlling space and found that the pine leaf rat was gathering its strength and wiping its mechanical bamboo gun in preparation for the upcoming battle, looking very restless.

Seeing this, Lin Jing pulled the pine leaf mouse out, covered its body with an illusion, and let it serve as bait with him.

"With Senior Shensong here, there's no chance for you to take action. Come with me and do something serious."

When the pine leaf mouse came out, it had a bitter look on its face. It hated heat and cold.

Fortunately, reality did not torture them for too long.

After Lin Jing and the pine leaf mouse transformed into a pair of peerless rabbits for a while, Shensong seemed to have noticed something.

"coming."

The snowflakes falling in the air magically condensed into white silk, dancing like a white snake, trying to entangle the snow rabbit that Lin Jing had transformed into. Before the white silk approached, the pine cone carried by Lin Jing flashed a golden-green spiritual power fluctuation.

Then, a ball of golden resin appeared, completely swallowed up the flying white silk, wrapped it up, and floated there.

"Senior Shensong, how is it?" Lin Jing looked at the dense white silk wrapped in the resin. Hmm? Only silk?

"It failed." Shen Song said, "Just as I thought, it's not an ordinary poisonous insect."

"This Gu worm... should not have been born yet."

"Things that are invisible cannot be caught."

"Squeak!!!" The pine leaf mouse suspected that the sacred pine tree had not been caught, so it was making excuses!

How can an unborn Gu eat a snow rabbit?
It's freezing!

"Do you know how the Gu came about?"

"Put various poisonous insects with strong toxicity in a container and let them fight each other and devour each other's venom. The only one left is the Gu." Lin Jing gave the simplest explanation.

"Yes, Gu is a poisonous insect cultivated by monks, not an innate insect, so Gu comes in all kinds of strange forms."

"Among the countless Gu insects refined by the Gu God Cult, there are ten unique Gu."

"They take the form of poisonous insects, but their bodies are made of elements. They are immortal and indestructible. Every time they are destroyed, they never truly die. After thousands of years, they can absorb nutrients from the corresponding element and be reborn."

"Although they will forget all memories after rebirth, just like reincarnation, their bloodline power...they will be preserved. It can be said that each one is the king of Gu."

"If I'm not mistaken, an ice-type Gu will soon be reborn here." Shen Song said, "The white silk is its organ made of ice and snow. It is absorbing nutrients instinctively and preparing to transform the invisible into the visible."

Lin Jing and Songyeshu were enlightened to find out that there is such a strange Gu. No wonder the Gu Shen Sect was one of the few demon sects that was not completely destroyed during the Tianyuan Ancient Country's campaign to eliminate demons.

"Then what should we do? Wait for it to be reborn and then capture it?" Lin Jing asked.

"That's the only way, but I think what you should do now is to find the murderer who really hurt your brother."

After Shensong finished speaking, Lin Jing was stunned and immediately realized what was wrong.

"A Gu worm that has not yet been born only has the most primitive desire to eat, and the Gu poison is the means of attack for the Gu worm after it is formed."

Lin Jing asked: "Are there any cultivators from the Gu God Cult... waiting for the Gu worms to be born here? Has Senior Brother really been injured by the demon cultivator?"

"He may not be a Gushen Sect monk, but he must be a monk who knows the 'gu technique'."

"Newly born Gu worms are different from mature ones. After they are born, they will instinctively look for a host to parasitize, sleep, digest and grow."

"Ordinary cultivators would definitely not be willing to serve as containers for the growth of Gu worms. After all, Gu worms are just blood suckers for cultivators, and will bring many negative effects to cultivators."

"But if we look at it from another angle, as long as we can bear the consequences and use the Gu worm together, then the power of the Gu worm can be used by the cultivators."

"The branch of cultivators called Gu Masters came from this. If it were just this, Gu Masters would not become demonic cultivators. Unfortunately, there are too few cultivators who can withstand the parasitism of Gu worms, and most Gu Masters are reluctant to give up the power of Gu worms, so they can only use other people's bodies as nutrients to cultivate Gu worms."

"Each different kind of Gu worm requires a different parasitic environment. If someone knew in advance that the strange Gu would be reborn in this city, he would have enough time to prepare and cultivate his physique to be suitable for the ice-type strange Gu to sleep and grow, and become a Gu Master."

"Even if he also obtains the method to refine the lower-level Gu of the strange Gu, he can first parasitize this lower-level Gu in his body to increase his adaptability to the ice-type strange Gu. The birthplace of the Gu King is also the best place to refine its lower-level Gu."

"A physique suitable for ice poisoning and absorbing nutrients..." Lin Jing immediately thought of City Lord Tang's acquired ice spirit body. Could it be that Master Gao was right? ? ?
No, that's not right. Although the ice Gu and the ice spirit body seem to be a good match, but if that's the case, why did City Lord Tang take action against Senior Brother Ouyang?

As a Jindan cultivator, no matter how strong Senior Brother Ouyang was, he would not be able to escape. Moreover, it was said that it was the cultivators from the City Lord's Mansion who discovered the injured Senior Brother Ouyang and gave him medical treatment immediately.

Lin Jing said counter-intuitively, "Could it be that the most suitable constitution for the Ice Gu to parasitize is the fire attribute, the Yang attribute? The cultivator who secretly waited for the Qi Gu to be reborn has the constitution of this attribute. He learned that the Qi Gu would be revived soon, but he also found Brother Ouyang who also has a Yang attribute. Because he was worried that Brother Ouyang's existence would affect his ability to become the container of the Gu worm, he let the Sub-Gu secretly persecute him?"

"The Gu worm is trying to harmonize yin and yang, blend ice and fire? Or is it that a pure fire attribute cultivator would not be frozen to death too quickly, leaving the Gu worm homeless."
