So after taking back the Soul-Eating Gu mother worm from Elder Tian, I handed the mother worm to Zhang Mingyu while Elder Tian was not paying attention.
Zhang Mingyu was very smart this time. He knew what I meant. After receiving the soul-eating Gu, he immediately provided some protection for me.
After that, we followed Elder Tian and left the residence here and set off for Zhongdong Gu Village.
The Holy Village is adjacent to the Zhongdong Gu Village, and it didn't take us much time to reach the edge of the Zhongdong Gu Village.
It's just that it's different from the liveliness of the Holy Village. The adjacent Zhongdong Gu Village looks deserted and dead at first glance. It's deeper than any other village I've visited before, and some floating black air can be seen faintly.
Those are some souls, some ordinary ghosts.
In addition to the three of us, many people have indeed come here. Some have already set off to enter the Zhongdong Gu Village, while others are still waiting and watching.
Elder Tian left immediately after sending us here. Before leaving, he just told me that the coffin might be in the Gu King Hall in Zhongdong Gu Village.
This is naturally a clue to me.
But when Zhang Mingyu and I were about to go in, one of the first people to go in suddenly let out a scream, and then I saw that his whole body was suddenly covered with dense black bugs, almost in the blink of an eye, that
All that was left was a white skeleton that fell to the ground.
A person died like this.
Even I couldn't help but swallow my saliva after seeing this scene.
Not only me, some people who were still watching retreated when they saw this scene. In just a moment, half of the people who were still on the edge without entering had left, and most of the remaining half did not move as I did.
And some people who had already entered started new actions.
Several of them seemed to be Taoist priests as well.
I just don’t know if it’s from the Maoshan lineage.
They took out some powder and smeared it on themselves. When some insects approached them, they immediately avoided them.
In addition to them, everyone else also has their own methods. It seems that as the Gu King said, many people want to enter the Zhongdong Gu Village. Now it seems that what the Gu King said is not a lie, and these
People are still people with abilities.
In all likelihood, they also received news that there was a coffin here.
Just like Fengling Village before.
It's just that I looked around carefully, but I didn't find any powerful people. Including those who seemed to be Taoist priests, most of their abilities were average.
It's not a threat to me.
While I was thinking about it, Zhang Mingyu handed me a few insect repellent talismans, and at the same time, he also returned to me the box containing the Soul-Eating Gu mother worm that he had protected.
"With this talisman attached to your body, ordinary insects won't dare to get close."
"Also, I have already taken protective measures against the female soul-eating Gu worm. If there is no accident, the female worm inside should not be able to escape. Junior brother, if you put it on your body, it might be useful."
I didn't refuse. After taking the talisman and the box, I looked around and said, "It's almost time, we should go in."
Zhang Mingyu nodded, and then attached the remaining insect-repelling talisman to his body. At the same time, he also summoned the golden light spell, which was regarded as complete body protection.
I saw this and did the same.
But I have one more step.
That's when I took out a mask.
Yellow fairy mask.
This is what I had thought about before.
Before I find the City God, I don't want to expose myself too early. The Huangxian mask comes from the Huangxian lineage. Most people who wear it will think that I am from the Chuma lineage.
Seeing me taking out the mask, Zhang Mingyu was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions.
He didn't ask, so I naturally saved myself the trouble of explaining, and then the two of us entered the Zhongdong Gu Village together.
Although it's only one step away.
But taking this step, it feels like a world of difference.
Even the scenery you see has changed significantly.
The most intuitive thing is that after we stepped into the Zhongdong Gu Village, a layer of fog suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. This fog directly reduced my sight range to about one meter around me.
Even if Zhang Mingyu was standing next to me, if it weren't for the golden light spell protecting him, it would be difficult for me to see him clearly.
Zhang Mingyu also noticed it and looked at me immediately.
"These are miasmas."
"When we were within the scope of the Holy Village, the miasma must have been isolated by the Gu King, so we didn't see it."
"Miasma?" I was a little confused.
Zhang Mingyu explained: "Miasma can be understood as poisonous gas."
"Zhongdong Gu Village is, after all, the birthplace of Gu Poison in Miao territory, and the first generation of Gu King was born here. In the early days, it was not like the Holy Village where everyone could breed Gu."
"That's why Zhongdong Gu Village is named after Gu."
"But after that incident, everyone here died. Although the Gu insects were no longer under the control of their master, they survived here because of the extremely tenacious vitality of the Gu insects themselves."
"Over time, the poisonous gas they released turned into miasma."
"If ordinary people inhale these miasmas, they may be poisoned and die."
"Why didn't you tell me?" I was speechless and quickly summoned the Golden Light Spell.
Before, I thought that nothing would happen if the soul-eating Gu mother worm was present. Although the mother worm passed through the hands of the Gu King, it was uncertain whether it was dangerous or not, but it should not be a problem if it could prevent me from being infested by the Gu worm.
of.
Zhang Mingyu looked at me with an innocent face.
"I just thought of it."
I gave him a helpless look.
Zhang Mingyu then said: "But we have a golden light spell to protect us. As long as the miasma is not too severe, it shouldn't have much impact."
"The most important thing we need to pay attention to is the Gu insects."
"What else do you know?" He looked at Zhang Mingyu and asked.
Zhang Mingyu thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No more."
"That's all I know about this place."
"Really?" I didn't believe it.
"Really!" Zhang Mingyu nodded seriously.
I looked at him suspiciously.
He is now as unreliable as Li Bowen in my heart.
But seeing the serious look on his face, I still chose to believe him for the time being, and then looked around.
Due to the influence of the miasma, our sight was blocked, so we walked extremely carefully, stopping almost every step we took to check the surroundings with our limited sight. Once there was any movement, we stopped as soon as possible.
I have to say.
This Cave Gu Village is probably the most troublesome place I have ever visited.
Even Dragon Burial Village is not as troublesome as here.
We walked for about half an hour.
Zhang Mingyu and I stopped at the same time.
There is another corpse in front of us.
He is one of those Taoist priests.
Although he did not turn into white bones, his body was covered with traces of being eaten by insects. It was obvious that he was bitten to death by insects. His eyes were wide open until he died, and his face was ferocious and looked extremely painful.
