Chapter 295: Gu Shaman

Dear host, well-behaved Tongzi is at your service.

Having said that, it snuggled into Wu Yue's embrace and activated the scanning function.

Wu Yue, whose vision was synced, followed Tongzi's scan, but the next second she felt utterly awful—goosebumps all over her body couldn't express her current disgust and revulsion.

On the previously pale eggshell, now crawling were soft-bodied worms resembling leeches, and two of them lifted their heads, revealing mouths full of ferocious teeth.

Wu Yue could even see a few hideous leeches not far ahead, their mouths bristling with sharp fine teeth, constantly lunging at her, but each time blocked by an invisible wall.

Wu Yue patted Tongzi's round head: "When I was attacked earlier, an alarm sounded and there was even a defense mechanism—what's going on?"

Lan Pangzi licked his little paw pad, proudly wagging his tail: "Of course it's my setup as Tongzi—if I weren't by the host's side, what would you do when you encounter danger?"

After vigorously ruffling Lan Pangzi's furry head, Wu Yue felt deep gratitude; though she couldn't see the disgusting leeches' true form earlier, the thought of them clinging to her and sucking her life force made her shudder involuntarily.

"Tongzi, is there any way to get rid of these worms?"

Tongzi scratched his round head awkwardly, then obediently nestled back into Wu Yue's embrace: "Host, please wait a moment while I look it up."

Having said that, there was no sound.

Knowing it had gone to look up information, Wu Yue held it and sat in a nearby grass nest.

Yuan Lang glanced at the Flying Eagle Shaman beside him, then went straight to Wu Yue's side.

"What's going on today? Why is the Flying Eagle Tribe's shaman still in our tribe?"

Wu Yue briefly explained the loss of vitality in the Flying Eagle Tribe's eagle eggs; Yuan Lang frowned slightly: "This sounds..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue looked at him: "You seem to know about this."

Yuan Lang nodded: "Before we came to this world, some bordering small countries had shamans or priests skilled at commanding gu worms, quite formidable."

As a modern person who has read many novels and watched many shows, Wu Yue naturally knew of the existence of gu worms.

She turned to look at the dense leeches bristling with sharp teeth: "You mean those things are gu worms, controlled by someone?"

Yuan Lang nodded: "High-level gu worms can survive for a long time inside a host, needing only regular blood feedings from their master."

The kind of worm you just mentioned we can't see, which makes it even more convenient for the person controlling them.

"You mean someone placed these worms in the Flying Eagle Tribe to prevent their eagle eggs from hatching properly?"

Yuan Lang nodded: "Yes."

Wu Yue looked toward the Xuehu Wu: "Shaman, does our Polar Forest have any shamans skilled at commanding worms?"

Upon hearing this, the Xuehu Wu's expression changed: "Yue, how do you know of the existence of gu shamans?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue turned to glance at Yuan Lang; both of their eyes flashed with sudden realization.

As expected, this world also has people skilled at using gu worms.

Beside them, the Flying Eagle Shaman suddenly turned his head toward Wu Yue after the Xuehu Wu finished speaking: "You mean these invisible worms are actually being controlled by gu shamans?"
