Chapter 778: Stygian Butterfly
Gu Lou's abdomen swelled, and he suddenly rolled over and fell to the ground and vomited.
Zhou Wen saw that Gu Lou vomited a lot of white things, and after a closer look, he almost vomited out, and the things that Gu Lou vomited out turned out to be many maggots, still wriggling on the ground.
There are more and more insects vomiting out of Gu Lou, and the few people who see it are numb in their scalps, and they are a little worried about whether they will be like Gu Lou.
After vomiting for a while, Gu Lou vomited out the centipede-like bug, and his swollen abdomen also disappeared, looking a lot better, but his face was terrible pale.
"Master Gu, what's going on with Gu Lou?" asked Li Mobai.
They had already paid attention to the surroundings just now, and they didn't find any problems, and Gu Lou's sudden accident made them also very uneasy.
"Don't worry, it's not the Flower of Life's problem, someone has a Gu worm on him, and he has been killed by me. Gu Shanshui stretched out his hand, and the centipede-like insect flew to his hand, and something fell from his claws.
It was a worm the size of a grain of rice, and it really looked like a grain of rice, and ordinary people couldn't see that it was actually a worm.
"This is a relatively common rice Gu, although it is only legendary, but it is mixed with rice grains, it is easy to be eaten by opponents, and after entering the body, it uses rapid reproduction internal force to destroy the body from the inside, which is difficult for outsiders to solve. ”
Gu Shanshui paused and continued: "Mi Gu's action speed is not fast, and its attack power is not very strong, so it is difficult to enter the body directly. It should be that before we came, the rice Gu had already mixed into the bamboo bucket of rice brought by Gu Lou, and he would only be invaded by the rice Gu after eating it before. ”
Saying that, Gu Shanshui asked Gu Lou and Gu He to check all the things they brought, and sure enough, in their bamboo buckets of rice, some rice Gu were found, and a Gu worm thinner than a hair was found in the kettle.
Gu Shanshui told them that it was also a legendary Gu worm, called the Drill Bone Worm, which was easily killed if it was invaded into the body, and it would burrow into the bone cavity to multiply in large quantities, gnawing on the bones until the bones were gnawed away.
Zhou Wen breathed a sigh of relief, the few of them didn't eat the bamboo bucket of rice, nor did they drink water, and they didn't want to eat and drink now.
Several people handed over their things to Gu Shanshui for inspection, but fortunately, there were no problems with their food and water.
"It seems that someone did these things before we set off, Master Gu, do you know who did it?" asked Li Mobai.
Gu Shanshui shook his head and said, "The people of our Gu family shouldn't do this kind of thing, because they all know that these Gu worms can't deal with me." ”
Li Mobai fell into deep thought, if it wasn't someone from the Gu family, it might not be for Gu Shanshui, this range was too big, it was hard to guess.
"Master Gu, is there a way to prevent these Gu worms?" Butterfly asked.
She is a woman after all, seeing the picture of Gu Lou spitting maggots just now, she is disgusted, if she is allowed to vomit once, she would rather die.
"There are countless Gu worms in the Southern District, and it is easy to defend against one or several, but if you want to prevent them all, you can only rely on personal experience and judgment. However, if you have a legendary artifact that can restrain ten thousand Gu, then no matter what kind of Gu worm it is, it will not dare to approach you. When Gu Shanshui spoke, he glanced at the bird on Zhou Wen's shoulder.
"What kind of artifact is that?" Butterfly asked.
"The most famous one is the mythical Ice Silkworm Gu, if there is an Ice Silkworm Gu in your body, basically no Gu worm will dare to approach you, even if you dare to get close, you will be discovered by the Ice Silkworm Gu and kill it directly. Most god-level Gu worms have a similar effect, provided you can tame it. Gu Shanshui said.
"Isn't it okay to kill it and explode the companion pet?" Butterfly said.
"Some can't, some can't. Gu Shanshui said ambiguously.
"Why?" Butterfly wondered.
"Because of the living Gu worm, I have experienced a lot of battles, and I have strong instincts, experience, and a certain IQ, as well as territorial awareness. However, if you are accompanied by a pet, your IQ may not be able to do it, and you don't have combat experience and territorial awareness, most of them need to be controlled by the owner in order to be able to exert their power, and it will be much worse to prevent this in advance. Moreover, mythical-level Gu worms may not be able to explode companion pets, and the possibility of domestication will be relatively large. Gu Shanshui said.
"Master Gu, do you have any mythical Gu worms on you, release them for us to open our eyes. Butterfly said.
"If I had, I wouldn't have to ask Mr. Zhou to help me catch corpse worms. There are a lot of Gu cultivators in the Southern District, but there are very few who really have mythical-level Gu worms, and most of them should be in the Dugu family. Gu Shanshui seemed to be in good spirits, and continued: "If Mr. Zhou can help me catch the corpse insect this time, I will also have a mythical-level Gu worm, and the Gu family will be the number one person in the Southern District in the future." ”
Gu Shanshui checked everyone's things and found no more Gu worms, so he continued on the road.
The river of flowers under the moon is beautiful and trembling, a breeze blows, and the flowers shake, like ripples in the river.
Gu Shanshui sniffed hard, stopped suddenly, and made a still gesture, and then looked at the flower river in the distance.
Zhou Wen and the others stopped, followed his gaze, and saw that there was still a large sea of flowers in front of them, and they didn't find anything.
But the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it didn't take long for them to see some lights dancing and swimming above the Flower River in the distance.
Zhou Wen's ability to hear was extremely strong, and he quickly saw clearly what it was.
It wasn't a light at all, but a big crystalline butterfly, the butterfly was transparent, and there were many patterns inside its wings, and those patterns glowed with an icy blue cold light, making it look even more dazzling.
When the wings of the ice blue butterfly vibrate, it caused a strong wind, blowing ripples on the flower river.
"That's ...... ......"When Gu Lou saw clearly that it was a butterfly, his originally pale face was completely bloodless in an instant.
Gu He next to him was no better, and his face was extremely ugly.
"No wonder none of the people who entered the Huahe River could get out alive, there was a Stygian Butterfly here......" Gu Shanshui said in a deep voice with a solemn expression.
Although Zhou Wen didn't know what the Stygian Butterfly was, he could know just by sensing the fluctuations of the vitality on its body that it was definitely a mythical-level dimensional creature.
"The legendary Nether Emissary, the Nether Butterfly that leads souls into the Netherworld?" Li Mobai had obviously heard of the name of the Netherworld, staring at the butterfly and frowning.
Gu Shanshui said in a low voice: "I only heard that someone had encountered the Stygian Butterfly before, but it was in a mysterious dimensional realm that is almost impossible for humans to reach, I didn't expect that there would be a Stygian Butterfly here in Huahe, our luck is really bad." ”
