Chapter 55: Using the Body as Bait

~9 min read 1,712 words

"Fine, fine, fine, you don't believe I can solve the case?"

Gao Sheng was very dissatisfied with this Beast Taming Sect disciple's behavior of looking down on him.

"Since you are also here to investigate this matter, let's compare and see who finds out the result first!"

After saying this, he turned and left, leaving behind Lin Jing, who couldn't figure out the situation.

"He seems to really want to solve the case, but I feel he is not the material for this," Lin Jing said.

Senior Senior Shen Song: "Young human cub, still needs to grow. However, having the heart to eliminate demons and defend the Dao is already worth encouraging, although I am a demonic cultivator."

"Senior Senior Shen Song Senior, can you tell fewer hell jokes."

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

"There should be a masterless Gu insect active in Snow Moon City."

"The strange disappearance of ice-attribute spiritual beasts is the Gu insect eating."

"The reason for deducing that it is a masterless Gu is because if a Gu master was feeding the Gu insect, there would be no need to cause a commotion in Snow Moon City. There are masterless ice beasts everywhere in the snow plains. Running over to provoke the Beast Taming Sect and Snow Moon City, isn't that lighting a lamp in a toilet, looking for death."

"Senior Brother Ouyang should have been accidentally injured by the Gu insect... Maybe it was because his yang energy was too strong, making this ice Gu unhappy. Yang and cold counter-balance~"

"It is also possible that ice cold belongs to yin, and the ice Gu wanted to gather yang to supplement yin, and hurt them!"

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

Lin Jing: "Still a bit stronger, right?"

"In short, if it is a masterless Gu, then it is much easier to handle. Whether it is an insect or a Gu insect, it is said that their IQ is not high," Lin Jing said: "Senior Senior Shen Song Senior, can you find the other party's location?"

"If you can't find it, then I will take action."

The Senior Senior Shen Song said: "Using your method to search is indeed faster than me searching."

Not long after, a snow-white rabbit, staring with blue pupils, hopped on the snow.

It was exactly Lin Jing after the Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Illusions.

Most of the snow rabbits raised in the Beast Valley were only at the first layer of Qi Refining and had not opened their intelligence. Such snow rabbits could attract the ice Gu, so Lin Jing added more fierce ingredients.

Although he also only hallucinated into a Qi Refining snow rabbit, this snow rabbit's leg had a wound, and the wound emitted a faint aura of Longevity Blood!

The Longevity Body was a fatal temptation for demon beasts, and naturally, it was also for Gu insects.

"Coo coo~"

"Coo coo~"

Lin Jing sang while jumping.

A night of wind and snow.

Lin Jing was frozen until his face turned purple.

He took a look inside the beast taming space and found that the Pine-Needle Rat was resting and wiping its mechanical bamboo spear, preparing for the upcoming battle. How comfortable.

Seeing this, Lin Jing dragged the Pine-Needle Rat out, covered it with an illusion, and let it act as bait with him.

"With Senior Senior Shen Song Senior here, there is no chance for you to take action. Come and do some serious work with me."

After the Pine-Needle Rat came out, it had a bitter expression. It hated heat and also hated cold.

Fortunately, reality didn't torture them for too long.

After Lin Jing and the Pine-Needle Rat turned into peerless twin rabbits for a period of time, the Senior Senior Shen Song seemed to have sensed something.

"It's coming."

The snowflakes falling in mid-air actually magically condensed into white silk, dancing like a white snake, wanting to wrap around the snow rabbit Lin Jing had turned into.

Before this white silk could get close, a golden-green spiritual power fluctuation flashed on the pine nut Lin Jing was carrying.

Immediately following, a ball of golden resin appeared, completely swallowing and wrapping the flying white silk inside, floating there.

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

"Failed," the Senior Senior Shen Song said: "Just as I thought, it is not an ordinary Gu insect."

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

"Formless things, naturally cannot be caught."

"Squeak!!!" The Pine-Needle Rat suspected that the Senior Senior Shen Song didn't catch it, so it was making excuses!

How could an unborn Gu eat snow rabbits!

It was freezing to death!

"Do you know how Gu comes from?"

"Put all kinds of highly poisonous insects in a container, let them kill each other inside, swallow each other's toxicity, and the one that remains in the end is the Gu," Lin Jing said the most superficial explanation.

"Yes, Gu is a poisonous insect cultivated by cultivators after birth, not an innate insect. Therefore, the forms of Gu are strange and varied."

"Among the countless Gu insects refined by the Gu God Sect, there are ten strange Gu."

"They take the form of poisonous insects, but their bodies are composed of elements, undying and indestructible. Every time they are destroyed, they will not truly die in the sense of the word. After thousands of years, they can absorb nutrients in the corresponding elemental places to be reborn."

"Although they will forget all memories after rebirth, like a reincarnation, their bloodline power... they will retain. It can be said that each one is a king among Gu."

"If my judgment is not wrong, a piece of ice-type strange Gu will soon be born and reborn here," the Senior Senior Shen Song said: "That white silk is its instinct to absorb nutrients with ice and snow as organs, preparing to turn formless into form."

Lin Jing and the Pine-Needle Rat gained knowledge. There was actually such a strange Gu. No wonder the Gu God Sect could become one of the few demonic sects that were not completely destroyed in the Demon-Elimination Action of the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom.

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

"That is the only way. However, I think what you should do now is to find the real murderer who injured your senior brother."

After the Senior Senior Shen Song finished speaking, Lin Jing was startled and immediately understood what was wrong.

"An unborn Gu insect only possesses the most primitive desire to eat, and Gu poison is the attack method after the Gu insect is formed."

Lin Jing asked: "There is a Gu God Sect cultivator... waiting here for the Gu insect to be born? Senior Brother was really injured by a demonic cultivator?"

"Not necessarily a Gu God Sect cultivator, but it must be a cultivator who understands 'Gu arts'."

"Newborn Gu insects are different from mature Gu insects. After they are just born, they will instinctively look for a host to parasitize, sleep, and digest growth."

"Ordinary cultivators definitely wouldn't be willing to be a container for Gu insect growth. After all, for cultivators, Gu insects are bloodsuckers and will bring many negative effects to cultivators."

"But if you look at it from another angle, as long as you can bear the consequences and use the Gu insect for each other, then the power of the Gu insect can be used by the cultivator."

"The cultivator branch of Gu master came from this. If it were just like this, Gu masters wouldn't become demonic cultivators. Unfortunately, there are too few cultivators who can bear Gu insect parasitism, and most Gu masters are reluctant to part with the power of Gu insects, so they can only use other people's bodies as nutrients to cultivate Gu insects."

"Every different Gu insect requires a different parasitic environment. If there is a person who knows in advance that the strange Gu will be born and reborn in this city, then he has enough time to prepare and cultivate his own physique into a physique suitable for the ice-type strange Gu to sleep and grow, turning into a Gu master."

"Even, if he also obtained the refining method of the lower-level Gu of the strange Gu, he could first parasitize the lower-level Gu in his body to increase his own 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 Gu to sleep and absorb nutrients..." Lin Jing thought of City Lord Tang's acquired ice spirit body at the first time. Could it be that Brother Gao was right???

No, that's not right. Although ice Gu and ice spirit body look very compatible, in that case, why did City Lord Tang attack Senior Brother Ouyang?

A Golden Core cultivator attacked. Even if Senior Brother Ouyang was strong, he couldn't escape. Moreover, it is said that it was the cultivators of the City Lord's Mansion who discovered the injured Senior Brother Ouyang and gave him treatment at the first time.

Lin Jing countered his intuition and said: "Could it be that the physique most suitable for ice Gu parasitism is fire attribute, yang attribute? The cultivator waiting in the dark for the strange Gu to be reborn is of this attribute. He learned that the strange Gu would recover recently, but also discovered Senior Brother Ouyang, who also possessed a yang attribute physique. Because he was worried that Senior Brother Ouyang's existence would affect his becoming a container for the Gu insect, he secretly persecuted him with a child Gu?"

"Gu insects actually play the set of yin and yang harmony and ice and fire fusion? Or is it that pure fire attribute cultivators won't be frozen to death too quickly, leaving the Gu insect with no home to return to." ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
