Lao Gutou told his secret. After decades, he returned to Gu Holy City again for the life essence of the Gu worm.
As for where the insect nest was, Lao Gu nodded and gestured to Su Qi to look at the scratches on the wall.
"This is a Feng Shui formation. It is dormant now and it is our opportunity. These scratches are our guide."
Obviously, Lao Gutou has done a lot of research here. He once visited Gu Holy City when he was young and accidentally discovered its secrets.
The insect nest is here underground, but the entrance is not so easy to enter, and since he was not strong enough at the time, he could only give up temporarily.
Now, when he comes back here again, of course he wants to obtain the life essence of the Gu insect. However, the danger is unpredictable and there will always be some scapegoat. Originally, he was looking for Dong Sha and Dong Yao, but now Su Qi took the initiative to send them to his door. Of course he wouldn't refuse.
The two of them walked around the city along the scratches, and finally stopped when they came to a quiet courtyard.
"Don't tell me, this is the entrance to the insect nest. Isn't it supposed to be on the back mountain or on the mountain peak?" Su Qi's face was full of doubts. He was wondering if the old man couldn't bear it anymore and planned to kill him first. Then go to the real insect nest.
Right in the city, only a few steps away from the temple, if there is even the slightest movement, the guardians will swarm over.
In this regard, Lao Gutou confirmed: "Yes, this is it. I had poor eyesight back then and it was excusable for me to admit my mistake. However, after studying the trend and layout of the formation in depth over the years, I still came back here and confirmed it twice. It’s enough to show that there is no problem!”
As if to cheer himself up, he jumped into the yard and groped for a while. At the same time, he released his poisonous insect, which turned out to be a scorpion with its tail sting piercing the ground continuously.
At a certain moment, a smile suddenly appeared on Lao Gutou's face: "It's still the same place. It seems that the high priest has also relaxed his vigilance in these years. It's just that he has relaxed, but I can't!"
He took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms and put it directly on the ground. In an instant, a protective shield directly covered the place, cutting off the breath and movement. No matter how big the noise was, no one would notice.
Su Qi just followed behind and watched him operate quietly. It had to be said that the old man was well prepared and he had learned it. If there were any opportunities in the future, wouldn't this be a template example?
They lifted off the soil and dug two or three meters downward. When a floor that looked like an iron manhole cover appeared, both Su Qi and Lao Gutou showed a little excitement. However, mysterious runes were engraved on it, turning the earth Be integrated with it.
"How do you open it? There's a seal on it?"
"Hmph, look at me!"
The scorpion on Lao Gu's wrist was cut open, and the scorpion on Lao Gu's head climbed up and swallowed the blood. When the tail needle glowed with a ghostly light, he stabbed the seal fiercely, like a balloon deflating, with a hiss, it was indestructible. The seals were broken directly.
But this also made his face pale and a little weak. Lao Gu's head was supported by Su Qi. He said with bright eyes: "Okay, you can go in."
At the bottomless hole, you could vaguely hear the sounds of insects fighting and chirping, but Su Qi did not hesitate. He jumped in directly with Lao Gu's head, feeling the constant whistling of the wind in his ears, and fell for several seconds. After a hundred meters, we reached a slope.
The two of them slid down the slope. In the dim environment, his eyesight was amazing and he could clearly see everything around him.
It wasn't until his feet really touched the ground that the downward momentum stopped. There was a long and narrow passage in front of him. Su Qi looked around and saw countless bugs crawling around on the side walls of the passage.
The sound of crunching and gnawing on the corpses of the same kind echoed in my ears, and the appearance of the breath of life also made the entire insect swarm start to riot.
With a scream, the scorpions with extremely sharp tail needles jumped directly onto the wall. With the pressure of the superior, the insects all stood still and allowed to be torn apart by the ferocious mouthparts and swallowed.
Su Qi, who was about to light a fire, was interrupted by Old Gutou, who reminded: "Gu insects like darkness. If you light a fire, it will alarm the entire insect nest. My scorpions cannot suppress them!"
"What about these?"
"Sandworms, the lowest level of Gu worms, unless a Sandworm King is born, they are just food."
Lao Gutou said casually that he didn't care about these peripheral bugs yet, but once he got deeper into them, he would gradually become more careful.
He also touched a strange liquid on the two of them, which could make the Gu insects turn a blind eye to them.
They saw bugs of different shapes crawling around them. Even if they accidentally trampled a few to death, they did not cause a riot among the bugs.
"This thing is quite useful, but there must be high-level Gu insects in it. Can you fool them?"
"No!" Turning his head suddenly, Lao Gutou showed a sinister smile on his face: "Then you need to fill in the hole."
His dry palm turned to clasp Su Qi's wrist. In response to Lao Gutou's sudden attack, Su Qi shook his head and said, "Are you going to take action now? Aren't you afraid that I will resist and cause the insect swarm to riot, and you won't be able to escape?"
Exploring the insect nest in harmony? Adding two to one makes five? It was a joke from the beginning and both knew it.
"Hey, can you still use your magic?"
"Teach you kid to be good and don't get close to any Gu master, because no matter how vigilant you are, you can't stop the invasion of Gu!"
Wisps of black air spread towards Su Qi's wrist, and in the blink of an eye, Su Qi's entire body was enveloped in black air.
"you you……"
Staggering back a few steps, Su Qi showed a horrified expression. He punched out, but it was extremely limp. He was caught by a dry palm. There was just a click, and the bones were shattered. The whole person collapsed. on the ground.
rustle!
Holding one foot, Su Qi was dragged forward by Old Gutou. The old man stopped and walked. When he encountered a fork in the road, he first looked at it, then chose a direction and moved forward firmly.
"Another one, who made you so unlucky to come to our door."
Murmurs echoed in the passage. Not long after, he dragged Su Qi to a cave. There were a large number of insects piled up here. They were densely packed, like rolling waves, coming from all directions. The intricate passages highlighted this insect cave. The size of the nest.
Above the insect nest, there are a large number of stalactites hanging upside down. Drops of liquid fall down, causing the insects to scramble to grab them.
"Look, isn't this the essence of life you want?" Lao Gutou felt some pain in his feet, which was bitten by Gu insects. He quickly took a few steps back, turned his head and said to Su Qi.
However, if you want to snatch the life essence from these Gu insects, you need someone who can attract firepower.
"Goodbye, boy!"
I roughly estimated the time, when a drop of white liquid was about to fall from the largest stalactite, a body was slammed into it.
The sudden change also caused the entire insect swarm to riot. A ferocious giant face was made up of countless insects. They swallowed Su Qi directly.
The sea of insects rolled, and it seemed that Su Qi was struggling and roaring. Hearing the sound, Old Gutou chuckled twice. He stepped lightly on the tip of his toes, using the protruding stone walls around him to show agility that did not suit his age, like a monkey stealing A drop of peach-like, milky white liquid fell directly onto his fingertips.
"Walk!"
His body rolled in mid-air, and before those Gu insects could react, he rushed out crazily.
After losing a drop of white life essence, some Gu Insects gradually reacted and began to riot underground. They heard the sound of Gu Insects screaming behind them. The feeling that scratched their hearts, as if they were about to swallow up their lives, was like a hair on the scalp. Damn it, Su Qi called out twice and then there was no movement. He still hoped that the other party could hold on a little longer.
"waste!"
There was wind under my feet, and my originally agile expression became dull again. There was a deep-seated power being released in my body. I slammed my foot on the ground. The invisible energy spread in all directions, not only shattering all the Gu insects that were chasing after me. , itself is like an arrow leaving the string, moving away from the cave entrance at an extremely fast speed.
However, he didn't notice that in the corner of the side wall, there was an origami creature that looked like a Gu worm, so he just watched everything.
"So strong, this is not the trick of a Gu Master!"
A faint sound came from the deep pit. When a Gu insect tore off a piece of paper, even these insects with little intelligence could not help but be stunned.
The face was broken and the body was full of ulcers. When those Gu worms really penetrated deep into it, not a drop of blood flowed out. That means Lao Gutou ran too fast, otherwise, he would have discovered Su Qi's abnormality. .
"It's a pity that the good rice paper I prepared was just wasted."
The paper gradually melted into the insect nest. When Su Qi still had one head left, he looked in the direction where Lao Gutou left, with some doubts in his eyes: "There is something wrong with this old man!"
Of course that's not right. He seemed to want to kill Su Qi more than the so-called essence of life. He only got a drop and left. What was left? When there was only the last pair of eyes left, there was a line of origami outside. Little Su Qi is approaching.
"One two, one two, stand at attention and use the ladder!"
The breath emitted by the origami creatures is the natural smell of heaven and earth, without blood and life. When the human ladder is set up, the Gu insects are real headless flies, and every drop of life essence is directly collected away.
