Seeing the Gu King He Wu's wrist flip and a small box appear, Lu Fan's eyes immediately flashed with a hint of brilliance. Looking at the Gu King's hand with a large emerald green ring, his heart stirred even more. Could this fellow, like himself, possess a storage ring?
Buzz... The golden silkworm gu, as large as a bean, was clearly a larva, but when it flapped its wings and flew up, it also emitted a series of irritating sounds. This sound was not piercing, but rather capable of disturbing the mind.
Lu Fan's eyes suddenly narrowed. He hadn't expected this little thing to have such an ability. However, this was not the only thing that surprised him...
*Snap...* Lu Fan flicked his wrist, and the golden silk soft whip in his hand instantly whipped the golden silkworm gu that had just flown up. *Thwack...* The golden silkworm gu was instantly sent flying. With a *thud*, it hit the wall and fell to the ground again.
However, the little worm was not dead. It crawled a couple of times on the ground, then flapped its wings and flew up again. This time, the sound of its wings vibrating was even more disturbing to the mind.
"Hahaha! Kid! The golden silkworm gu, the king of gu! Invincible to blades and spears, impervious to water and fire. Hahaha! I, in order to feed this golden silkworm gu, evaded the pursuit of my enemies. I hid for half a year and finally raised it. This gu, once released, is invincible in the world. Today, you dying by its hand is not unjust. Hahaha!" The Gu King He Wu suddenly burst into wild laughter.
"Lu Fan...!" Suddenly, a voice came, and Shen Xinyi appeared at the doorway with a look of horror.
"Quick, go..." Lu Fan urgently roared. This golden silkworm gu was so powerful, he had no confidence at all. For Shen Xinyi to come in would be seeking death!
"Hmph! Such a beautiful girl, how can I let you leave as you please?" The Gu King He Wu saw Shen Xinyi, and a sinister smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth. *Whoosh...* His figure instantly appeared beside Shen Xinyi. *Slap...* A large hand grabbed Shen Xinyi's neck. The fingernails, which hadn't been trimmed for over half a year, almost pierced into Shen Xinyi's throat.
This woman was much more beautiful than the two in the room. Hahaha! He had been holding back for over half a year to raise the gu worm, and this beautiful woman came at the perfect time...
"Let her go!" Lu Fan lunged to save Shen Xinyi.
*Whoosh...* The golden silkworm gu suddenly charged towards Lu Fan with lightning speed.
*Slap...* Lu Fan, eager to save Shen Xinyi, intended to swat the golden silkworm gu away casually. He never expected that after he slapped it, not only was the gu worm not sent flying, but it actually burrowed directly into Lu Fan's palm. It disappeared in an instant!
"Ah...!" Lu Fan cried out in pain. *Slap...* He dropped the golden silk soft whip and knelt on the ground with a *thump*. He watched helplessly as a bloody hole appeared on his palm, and he could even feel the golden silkworm gu drilling within his arm.
"Lu Fan...!" Shen Xinyi also exclaimed, but in He Wu's grasp, she couldn't even move.
"Hmph! The golden silkworm gu entering the body will devour your internal organs. It's also because this gu worm is still young; otherwise, it would lay eggs in your body. Those eggs are like insects and ants, and you would die a miserable death! Hahaha!" The Gu King He Wu laughed heartily, holding Shen Xinyi with one hand, and walked towards Lu Fan. The golden silk soft whip was a treasure, and today's gains were truly abundant. Treasure, and a beauty! Haha!
He Wu became happier the more he thought about it. He came to Lu Fan, bent down, and reached for the golden silk soft whip on the ground.
*Swish...* Suddenly, a thread as fine as silk instantly wrapped around his outstretched wrist.
A cruel smile appeared on Lu Fan's lips: "Old man! Take a look at my treasure, isn't it better? Indestructible Heavenly Silkworm Silk! Heh heh!"
"You... you killed Iron Claw Cang Weng?" The Gu King He Wu was instantly terrified. How could this young kid be so powerful? Fortunately, he had the golden silkworm gu; otherwise, he really wouldn't be his match.
"Alright! Kid! I can let you go and have the golden silkworm gu leave your body. You release my hand first," the Gu King He Wu said, his eyes darting around.
"Heh heh heh! I never intended to let you go!" Lu Fan didn't believe this guy would really let him go. He exerted force with both hands, *swish...* *thwack...* The Gu King's hand fell off.
"Ah...!" The Gu King let out a scream, but before he could recover from his shock, *puff...* a long sword pierced his throat. *Thump...* The Gu King fell backward.
"Ah...!" Shen Xinyi cried out, scared and collapsing on the ground.
*Slap...* Lu Fan's treasured sword suddenly cut a gash on his own palm, and then he grabbed the Gu King's severed arm, from which blood was gushing like a spring.
In a short while, the young golden silkworm gu sensed the scent of the Gu King's blood and drilled out of Lu Fan's arm. It seemed to quite like the taste of the Gu King's blood and began to devour it greedily.
*Thump...* Lu Fan slumped to the ground. He was scared to death. Fortunately, he found information about gu worms in the Shen Nong San Ji, and fortunately, this gu worm was still a larva. Otherwise, he would have been dead for sure.
The Shen Nong San Ji recorded that there were many types of gu worms. The most common one was made by placing over a dozen highly toxic insects in a sealed container on the Dragon Boat Festival, allowing them to kill each other. The one that survived in the end was the gu worm.
To achieve telepathic connection with the gu worm, the gu raiser had to feed it with their own vital blood and secret techniques. The blood of gu raisers often contained poison and had a special scent. When the gu raiser died, the gu worm would lose its command and crawl out on its own upon smelling a scent it liked.
However, if it was an adult gu worm, it would leave eggs in the body of the person who was poisoned. Even if the adult gu worm left, the poisoned person would sooner or later have their internal organs devoured by the eggs and die. Of course, the poison of gu worms was not incurable, but it was very troublesome.
However, among the many gu worms, to obtain the king of gu worms was a rare occurrence once in a hundred years. No wonder the Gu King He Wu, after obtaining this golden silkworm gu, became so ecstatic, believing he could become invincible in the world from then on. Before the golden silkworm gu matured into an adult, he began to commit evil deeds, preparing to find a few pretty girls to indulge himself first.
As a result, he didn't expect to be so unlucky as to encounter Lu Fan. If he hadn't been greedy and eager to obtain the golden silk soft whip, perhaps nothing would have happened if he hadn't approached Lu Fan. He just thought everything was under his control... and ended up dead.
Taking a breath, Lu Fan reached out and took off the emerald green ring on the Gu King's severed finger. He infiltrated it with his consciousness and discovered that it was indeed a storage ring, although much smaller than his own. If his storage ring was like a room, then this storage ring was merely a cabinet.
Inside the storage ring, besides the small box for raising the gu worm, there was also a wallet containing a bank card. Lu Fan didn't bother with anything else, took out the small box, and collected the golden silkworm gu, which was greedily eating, into it. Then he stored it in his own storage ring.
This little thing was impervious to blades and spears, and fire and water, so it was a treasure, and of course, he had to keep it for himself.
"Kid! You're only concerned with those broken things, why aren't you paying attention to me?" Suddenly, Shen Xinyi glared at Lu Fan and roared.
"Aren't you alright!" Lu Fan glanced at Shen Xinyi and said.
"I... I was almost scared to death, I want a hug...呜呜..." Shen Xinyi suddenly threw herself into Lu Fan's arms and sobbed.
