Chapter 677 The Lazy Bug Wakes Up
To make a custom delicacy for the ancient giant worm, Gu Zheng could just use some of the things he got as a reward for the last mission to expand the prehistoric space.
Not wanting to surprise Huangqi and the others, Gu Zheng chose a place where he was the only one cooking. Although Huangqi and the others already knew that he had a super space fairy weapon, and even trees as big as the Linglong fairy fruit tree could be transplanted into it, if he were to take out something living from it in front of them, he would still have to face their shock, after all, super space fairy weapons are really rare.
"For this mission, I have to sacrifice a fairy bear and a nest of fairy fungi, but they are just children!"
Gu Zheng shook his head and took out the things he needed from the prehistoric space.
"Still children, you are really!"
Gu Zheng's description made the spirit of the weapon laugh.
"I'm not wrong, they haven't grown up yet, what else can they be if not children?" Gu Zheng looked regretful.
Indeed, the fairy bear and fairy fungus have not grown up yet. After all, their growth time is one year and three months respectively. Even after Gu Zheng's stimulant, they still look very small. However, they are enough to be used in the customized delicacy for the ancient giant insect.
"A total of three fairy bear cubs and ten fairy fungus spores are rewarded. Now they are harvested in the immature stage. When they mature, they have to leave a portion to be used as a primer to keep these things in their original quantity. It feels so bad!" Gu Zheng said.
"If you feel bad, let Fang Xing and the others reimburse you for these things!" said the spirit of the weapon.
"Forget it, I just said that. Some high-quality ingredients are really nothing in this quasi-saint treasure."
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and began to process the ingredients.
Simple cooking of food, baking is one of them, and the cooking method that Gu Zheng is going to use is baking.
After cleaning the fairy bear cub, Gu Zheng cut a few cuts on it, then poured the prepared fairy wine on the cut edge and temporarily put it aside.
Although this was just a simple cooking, the processing of the ingredients was not simple.
The fairy fungus used in the ingredients was the ‘Spirit Snake Fungus’, which had twisted stems and was colorful, and the cap looked like a triangular snake head.
The ‘Spirit Snake Fungus’ ingredients were of excellent quality, and the taste was naturally excellent, but it also had poisonous parts. When people eat it, they need to remove the circle of red fluff on the stem, otherwise even the Daluo Jinxian will be poisoned.
The most important part of Gu Zheng’s use of the ‘Spirit Snake Fungus’ this time was to use the circle of poisonous red fluff.
After collecting the poisonous fluff of the ‘Spirit Snake Fungus’, Gu Zheng took out some other auxiliary materials, three of which were poisonous. Gu Zheng put them together and dried them, and put them aside for use.
The poison provided by Fang Xing is a mixed venom. This venom cannot stand the wind. Once it sees the wind, it will evaporate into a highly toxic gas, which can cause harm even to the Golden Immortal. However, this venom called "Corrupted Immortal Water" has a fatal flaw, that is, it will produce a strange smell when it evaporates, so it is not easy to use it to deal with immortal cultivators.
Gu Zheng also combined various deductions in his mind many times to cook customized delicacies, so he understood that the taste of "Corrupted Immortal Water" must be removed. Otherwise, even if the taste of "Corrupted Immortal Water" can be changed with the aroma of food, the picky ancient giant insects may refuse to eat the customized delicacies because of the residual taste of "Corrupted Immortal Water".
"It is not an easy thing to remove the smell of Corrupted Immortal Water while retaining its toxicity and changing its properties from volatile to real liquid!" said the spirit of the weapon.
"The Corrupted Immortal Water has its merits, even if it is not easy, we have to make it. However, when I change the Corrupted Immortal Water into what I want, it is no longer the Corrupted Immortal Water in the traditional sense, it is just a special poison with more toxicity." Gu Zheng said.
Some of the things obtained from killing the demon cultivators came in handy again at this time. Gu Zheng took out some corpse poison, ghost maggot venom, bone-dissolving grass and other materials from these things. Then, Gu Zheng also took out some dragon centipede venom that he had already obtained from the trapped immortal formation.
After spending some time processing corpse poison, ghost maggot venom, bone-dissolving grass, dragon centipede venom and other materials, Gu Zheng obtained a total of three liquids of different colors.
Reaching out his hand to draw an immortal formation on the ground, Gu Zheng turned the immortal formation into a special space that could allow the Corrupted Immortal Water to see the wind. Then, he opened the jade bottle containing the Corrupted Immortal Water, roasted the jade bottle containing the Corrupted Immortal Water with the power of the 'original true fire', and used the water control formula to act on it.
Some things that were useless to Gu Zheng evaporated as the immortal water boiled. Gu Zheng put the three liquids obtained from the previous processing of the materials into the immortal water in order.
It took about half an hour before and after, and Gu Zheng finally processed the immortal water. At this time, the immortal water was no longer the original green, but a yellow color. It looked sticky like oil. After taking it out of the immortal formation, it would not evaporate even if it was exposed to the wind.
After the immortal water was ready, Gu Zheng put the marinated immortal bear meat on the chopping board, and then sprinkled the previously baked material powder on the immortal bear meat, and then rubbed the immortal bear meat repeatedly until the material powder was almost integrated into the meat.
The processing of the ingredients has been completed, and the next process is baking.
The bear meat was dripping with oil on the charcoal fire, and the air was filled with the alluring aroma of barbecue. Even if Gu Zheng used rotten immortal water as roasting oil to brush the bear meat over and over again, the smell was still so good.
About ten minutes later, the roasted fairy bear was completed. When Gu Zheng took it to find Huang Qi and others, even though they knew it was a highly poisonous thing, Huang Qi and others couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, I have also been to the Xianchu restaurant. Your cooking skills are beyond my imagination. After the treasure incident, you must cook me a delicious meal!" Fang Xing begged.
"No problem, we can talk about this after the treasure trip is over." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
Carrying the fairy bear meat, Gu Zheng dropped it from a high altitude.
The place where the fairy bear meat was put was not in the open space outside the wormhole, but far enough away from the wormhole. Gu Zheng did not want the ancient giant insect to eat the fairy bear meat and be poisoned in the wormhole. If it was destroyed as a result If the teleportation immortal formation can allow everyone to return to the treasure, then everything will be lost.
Although the distance was far away, the roasted fairy bear meat that had been transformed into an extremely fragrant form by Gu Zheng still attracted the ancient giant insect.
When the ancient giant worm rushed out of the wormhole, saliva poured out from its mouth like a waterfall.
There was still some distance before the roasted fairy bear meat was ready, but the ancient giant worm couldn't wait any longer. A huge long tongue shot out from its mouth, hit the roasted fairy bear meat on the ground, and was rolled into its mouth. Suddenly, there was another drooling frenzy. gush.
The Immortal Bear has never grown up, and even if it grows ten feet long, it is still not enough to fill the gap between the teeth of the huge ancient giant insect.
The ancient giant worm, which was still unfinished, circled around the area, and then headed back into the wormhole.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, it stands to reason that the medicine should take effect, right?" Fang Xing couldn't help but ask.
"It's too far away and I can't see what's going on inside its body."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said: "But you don't have to worry. Even if the effect of the medicine takes longer than expected, the effect will not be much different. I will go down now to see the specific situation. I If I tell you to do it, do it again.”
"Fellow Daoist Bai, be careful!"
Looking at Gu Zheng rushing down, Huang Qi and Yang Jue couldn't help but exhort them.
After Gu Zheng flew within a certain range, the ancient giant insect immediately sensed it. It was about to return to the wormhole and immediately raised its head. Even its tail was lifted up, assuming a fighting posture.
However, as soon as the ancient giant insect took on its fighting stance, its body suddenly started to tremble.
"Snort!"
The ancient giant insect roared, but the sound sounded a bit hoarse.
"This is good. I wanted to see how the medicine works, but I didn't expect it to happen now."
Gu Zheng, who was about to fly down, stopped. Now that the ancient giant insect has been poisoned, let's watch it perform on its own.
"Snort!"
The poisonous ancient giant insect roared again, but the sound sounded hoarse than before. Its huge insect body rolled back and forth on the ground, crushing a large area of flat ground in a moment.
The poison continued to act, and rolling could no longer offset the pain. The ancient giant insect bounced back and forth on the ground like an earthworm, and it made many deep pits on the originally flat ground.
After struggling for about three minutes, the ancient giant insect stopped moving.
Gu Zheng understood that although roasted fairy bear meat was very poisonous, it was simply impossible to poison the ancient giant insect to death.
"Whoosh!"
Black sword light fell from the sky, and the ancient giant insect that was motionless suddenly raised its head and blew a strong wind towards the sword light, and the sword light immediately dissipated invisible. At the same time, the eight pairs of compound eyes of the ancient giant insect shot sixteen khaki rays of light into the air.
Facing the incoming light, Gu Zheng immediately flew to high altitude and dodged all sixteen rays of light.
Gu Zheng didn't really want to fight the ancient giant worm. Now was not the time to confront it head-on, so he controlled the flying height to the edge of the ancient giant worm's attack range. In this way, the angry ancient giant worm would continue to attack. Attacking it, he can also quickly wander around the edge to resolve the attack.
The earthy yellow light beams were very spectacular. They flew into the void one after another. Gu Zheng was wandering on the edge, attracting the ancient giant insects to chase his figure angrily.
Gu Zheng flew a kite at the ancient giant insect, consuming its physical strength and preventing it from calming down to release the poison of the roasted fairy bear meat.
However, the ancient giant insect was not that stupid. It didn't pursue the ancient struggle for too long before giving up, and it still lay on the ground motionless.
The reality is not much different from Gu Zheng's previous calculations. Although the ancient giant insect at this time is still some way away from the trapped immortal formation, Gu Zheng believes that as long as he teases the ancient giant insect one more time, the furious ancient giant insect will Chase it to enter the trapped fairy formation.
"Slacker wake up!"
Gu Zheng shouted at the ancient giant worm, and the 'original soil' in his body shook. A huge earth dragon emerged from under the ancient giant worm, knocking the ancient giant worm away.
"Earth Dragon Technique!"
Fang Xing and others who were watching the battle from a distance couldn't help but exclaimed.
Under normal circumstances, it is very good for a cultivator to have the 'True Fire of Life' and the 'True Water of Life'.
Among the 100 immortal cultivators in the Golden Immortal Realm, not even one can refine one of the ‘Nativity True Earth’ and ‘Nativity True Wood’. At most, they can only know some immortal arts of earth or wood attributes. It was only after Gu Zheng arrived in the prehistoric times that he realized how rare and precious the elixirs that he had obtained when he was doing missions on Earth were, which could stimulate the ‘Nativity Five Elements Power’ in his body.
As for the ‘Nativity True Gold’, the immortal cultivators who could refine it were extremely rare.
The shock that the ‘Earth Dragon Technique’ brought to Fang Xing and others only lasted for a moment. When the ancient giant worm was knocked up by the earth dragon, the top of its scorpion-like tail suddenly opened and sprayed out a beam of golden light.
The earth dragon that was touched by the golden light was like being hit by a divine body, and was instantly decomposed without leaving any residue.
The ancient giant worm was really angry. It looked up at Gu Zheng in the air. Although it could no longer roar, its tongue shot towards Gu Zheng like lightning.
Gu Zheng was standing in the air several hundred meters above the ground, but the tongue of the ancient giant worm was so long that it reached Gu Zheng in just a moment.
"Cut!"
Gu Zheng waved Tang Mo and slashed at the tongue of the ancient giant worm.
No sound was made. Even though Tang Mo was a top-level immortal weapon, his sword light only left a negligible bloody wound on the tongue of the ancient giant worm.
Knowing that the tongue of the ancient giant worm was its major killing weapon, Gu Zheng naturally would not entangle with it. Injuring it would only make the ancient giant worm more angry.
"Isn't your tongue very long? Chase it!"
Gu Zheng's mind moved, and the flying height increased. The tongue of the ancient giant worm was finally limited. When it encountered such an opponent who moved quickly and did not entangle with it, it had no good way.
Just as the ancient giant worm retracted its tongue, Gu Zheng lowered his altitude again. Just as Gu Zheng was about to use the ‘earth dragon technique’ again, the ancient giant worm’s tail suddenly rose up again, and a face that looked very much like a human appeared on it!
The ‘human face’ on the ancient giant worm’s tail had eyes wide open and its mouth opened suddenly. Gu Zheng suddenly felt as if a mountain was pressing on him.
At the same time, a stream of yellow smoke also spurted out of the ‘human face’’s mouth, rolling towards Gu Zheng at a speed faster than its tongue.
From the memory of the red-haired old man, Gu Zheng understood that the ancient giant worm had two major killer moves, and the one it showed at this time was one of its killer moves.
Gu Zheng had always been very cautious, and even when teasing the ancient giant worm, he was still wandering on the edge of its attack range. Therefore, although the ancient giant worm’s killer move was very powerful, Gu Zheng still broke free from the ancient giant worm’s restraint on space before the yellow mist came and flew to a higher altitude.
Although Gu Zheng broke free from the ancient giant worm's restraint on space, the yellow mist, which was originally faster than the tongue, was closer to him.
In the red-haired old man's memory, he once had a "substitute corpse". During one of his struggles with the ancient giant worm, his "substitute corpse" was swept by the ancient giant worm's yellow mist and instantly turned into a pile of dry bones. The red-haired old man's "substitute corpse" is much stronger than the late Golden Immortal cultivator.
Seeing that the yellow mist was about to reach his body, Gu Zheng, who had the red-haired old man's memory, understood that at this time, with his means, it would be extremely difficult to avoid this deadly tracking mist without using any trump cards.
So, Gu Zheng disappeared out of thin air and entered the prehistoric space.
The terrifying yellow mist kept circling where Gu Zheng disappeared. It took a full five minutes for it to disappear.
Gu Zheng, who came out of the prehistoric space, immediately knocked the ancient giant worm away with the "earth dragon technique".
The ancient giant worm was furious as never before, and the eight pairs of compound eyes on its head were emitting beams of light regardless of whether it could hit Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng understood that the ancient giant worm was already relatively weak at this time, but it still had a killing move that had not been launched. This killing move was more dangerous than the previous yellow mist, and the ancient giant worm also valued it more and would not easily launch it.
In the many battles between the red-haired old man and the ancient giant worm, he had forced out the last killing move of the ancient giant worm with a narrow escape, so he understood that even if the ancient giant worm was in its prime, as long as this killing move was used, its strength would be reduced by at least 60%!
Unfortunately, the time when the red-haired old man forced out the last killing move of the ancient giant worm, he himself was also seriously injured. In addition to escaping, there was no way to get rid of the ancient giant worm.
Facing the difficult ancient giant worm, Gu Zheng was not anxious, but Fang Xing and the other two who were waiting were anxious. They sent a message to Gu Zheng with Fang Xing as the representative.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, what's wrong? Do you want us to go over? It feels like this ancient giant worm is already at the end of its strength!"
"The situation is not bad, but the ancient giant worm's biggest killer move has not been released yet. It is not suitable for you to come over at this time, otherwise you will not be able to withstand it when it releases the killer move! Forget it, I'd better lead it into the immortal trap first!"
Gu Zheng didn't want to let Fang Xing and others wait any longer, so he led the ancient giant worm and began to fly towards the place where the immortal trap was set up.
"At this time, the ancient giant worm's strength is equivalent to 60% of its peak period. If you put such strength into the immortal trap, you must be careful that the immortal trap cannot trap it, which will cause serious damage to the array device." The spirit of the device reminded.
"Of course I know, but I can't wait any longer!"
Gu Zheng had seen the ancient giant worm with the Eye of Tao, so he knew that the poison in the ancient giant worm was in the process of disappearing. Because the ancient giant worm's killing move had not yet appeared, he did not dare to let go and fight the ancient giant worm. At this time, there was no better way except to use the Immortal Binding Formation to consume it again. Otherwise, the damage of the Earth Dragon attack, which was like a tickle, could not keep up with the recovery speed of the ancient giant worm!
The ancient giant worm had reached the place where the Immortal Binding Formation was. Gu Zheng pinched his hands and the huge ancient giant worm disappeared out of thin air.
