Chapter 870: Catching the Tide
According to Chu Hong's explanation, the Gu Master inheritance is divided into four levels.
The first level is an insect Gu master.
A Gu Master in this realm possesses a mature natal Gu worm. Being able to borrow the power of the Gu worm and call upon power far beyond that of a mortal is the most important threshold for crossing the path to immortality.

The second realm is the second insect Gu master.
In addition to the native Gu worm, a Gu Master at this level also raises a second mature Gu worm. The power of the two Gu worms will feed back into his own body, and his body and soul will be greatly improved. For an ordinary one-worm Gu Master, In front of the two insect Gu masters, he didn't even have the strength to fight back.
The third realm is the Three Insect Gu Master.
Gu masters at this level have broken away from the ordinary category and are enough to establish a sect and protect a place's peace. Moreover, the development direction of the three insect Gu masters is very comprehensive, and it is almost difficult to find shortcomings in them.
The fourth realm is called Gu King by Chu Hong.
A Gu Master in the Gu King Realm has at least four Gu Insects on his body. The power of various different Gu Insects makes the Gu King almost have no shortcomings. The only way to deal with a strong person of this level is through realm suppression, and ordinary calculations have almost no effect on them.
Chen Luo learned very quickly, and he completed the hatching of the Gu worms only a moment after Chu Hong finished speaking. The Gu he chose was the Corpse Control Gu, while the junior sister Qi Chan chose the Desire Gu. According to Chu Hong's description, the level of Desire Gu is one level higher than that of Corpse Control Gu, and its power will be stronger after cultivation.
This slight difference is of no use to Chen Luo. In his case, the corpse control Gu is obviously more effective. He also has many high-level corpses on his body. These corpses cannot be refined due to insufficient evil energy. Now that I have become a corpse puppet, I just want to try to see if I can use the corpse control Gu to drive it.
"Have you learned it?"
Looking at the corpse control Gu hatched in Chen Luo's hand, Chu Hong's eyes flashed with shock.
The difficulty of the Worm Classic is very high. It took her more than three months to get started with the Worm Classic. But now Chen Luo only used one sentence to successfully get started. If it weren't for the Gu insect's ability to identify aura, Chu Hong would have thought that this junior brother had been taken away.
"Maybe it's because I have a foundation."
Chen Luo said with a smile.
He has no intention of playing with people here like pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. In his eyes, the Chong Jing technique is not even considered to be of medium difficulty. With so many Chong Masters in Black Robe as reference, it only takes an instant to learn it.
Qi Chan next to her was also stunned. She subconsciously glanced at the round desire Gu worm egg in her hand, and then at the Gu worm hatched in Chen Luo's hand, and couldn't help but start to doubt life.
But this suspicion was soon dispelled by her, because Chen Luo spent an hour to learn the back part of the Worm Sutra. Looking at the Corpse Control Gu that grew up in his hand like it was inflated, Chu Hong and Qi Chan both He was so frightened that he took several steps back.
"It seems that you have initially mastered the Worm Scripture, and the rest of your practice is up to you." After confirming that Chen Luo had practiced correctly, Chu Hong kicked him out on the spot.
In the next few days, Chen Luo stayed here in Zhugu.
This is Chu Hong's dojo, which contains many materials for refining Gu. If it would take a lot of time to look for it outside, there are ready-made ones at the moment, which just helps him save time. These materials were originally prepared by Chu Hong for the two of them. Now that Qi Chan has not started yet, she can only give Chen Luo a break first.
Study early and dig graves early.
Now that his natal Gu is a corpse-controlling Gu, he will have an excuse to dig graves later.
The days were peaceful.
Half a month after completing the Insect Scripture, Qi Chan finally started.
This time Chu Hong did not keep them anymore, and the two of them left Zhugu along the way.
Outside the valley.
Qi Chan was wearing a light green dress. A large group of servants driving a carriage were waiting outside. When they saw Qi Chan coming out, these people quickly stepped forward and helped Qi Chan take the things in her hands. Some people also fed the Gu insects. The meat is served.
"Senior brother, is no one here to pick you up?"
Qi Chan was a little surprised.
Gu masters in this world have long been accustomed to a high-ranking life. They have dedicated servants to handle their daily travels. Gu masters like Sima Mo who live alone are often classified as having eccentric personalities.
"I'm not used to wasting time."
Chen Luo is not used to this kind of life. He is used to flying in the air and doesn't like to waste time. He was even more unaccustomed to the hobbies of Gu Masters in this world. With this skill, he could have returned to his residence long ago.
"Third Senior Brother's habits are not good."
Qi Chan gave a reminder with a smile on her face.
Gu Masters do not exist alone, especially low-level Gu Masters. They need to plant fodder, cultivate spiritual flowers, and hunt insect food, which all require a lot of time. Contact with the following people is to give them the opportunity to be loyal, and it is a means to gather power.
Not only Qi Chan is doing this, but senior sister Chu Hong and second senior brother Zhong Shan are also doing this. Even though there are no people where they live, there are countless people in the city outside to serve them. The second senior brother Zhong Shan was able to detect the news of the 'tide' so quickly, which was inseparable from the reports of these subordinates.
"Practice well."
Chen Luo did not argue with her about this matter. After leaving a word, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky. Qi Chan retracted her gaze and her expression became cold. Seeing this, the other servants quickly returned to the carriage and drove Qi Chan away slowly.
Behind the scenes, the Bamboo Valley slowly disappears into the mist and disappears into the mountains.
The day back to the mountain was peaceful.
Raising insects in the morning and cultivating qi at night.
Chen Luo gave the three apprentices some odd jobs and taught them some small spells, and then continued to practice the Insect Sutra.
In the secret room.
The polluted spiritual power from the outside world was affected by the power of the Insect Sutra and gathered towards his body like a stream of water. In the eyes of the practitioners in this world, this is a sign of spiritual power improvement, but in Chen Luo's eyes, his clone is approaching an unknown existence at a very fast speed.
The long bluestone street, the cold air flows along the ground.
At the end of the street, a shadow more than three meters high dragged a huge reef and moved forward slowly. The friction between the stone and the ground dragged out a lot of sparks.
The figure moved stiffly, and the body exuded a strong cold air. The red lanterns on the street illuminated his face. This is a monster covered with black scales all over his body. His feet are not like humans, but the most common webbed feet among amphibians. The most exaggerated thing is his back, which has six sharp barbs. These barbs looked particularly creepy under the light of the lantern.
"Master Shrimp?!"
A trembling voice came from the pavilion next to him.
"The tide is coming!"
Some people fled from their original position in fear.
"Don't move!"
The voice of shock and anger came from behind, but it was too late. The scaled monster walking on the street paused, his white eyes turned twice, and he suddenly reached out to grab the coral reef in his hand and threw it towards the source of the sound.
The reef quickly grew larger after it was released.
But in the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge hill and suppressed it on the head.
Boom! !
There was a loud bang.
The wooden pavilion was instantly smashed into powder, and sawdust flew. The person who spoke before didn't even have time to scream, and was smashed into meat paste by the reef. Dozens of figures flew out of the pavilion, and each of these people had a layer of spiritual light on their bodies, and fled to the periphery at the fastest speed.
This group of people are all Gu Masters. The news of the upcoming tide has spread. These well-informed Gu Masters sneaked here to kill two fish monsters before the tide arrives, get some benefits, and find an opportunity to break through the realm. But they never expected that the first one to come ashore would be ‘Master Shrimp’.
‘These idiots! ’
Sima Mo was also in the crowd, and he was the first to escape.
He had already escaped from the pavilion the moment those people exposed their positions. In fact, his decision was correct. The action of taking a step ahead allowed him to escape.
Boom! !
After Master Shrimp smelled the blood, his face showed a sick expression, similar to the mouth of a silver carp cracked to the ears.
Several Gu Masters who failed to escape were caught up by him, and before they could react, they were swallowed by him, and blood kept dripping from the corners of their mouths. The blood beads fell on the bluestone floor, making a ‘tick-tock’ sound.
"How come it's so fast?!"
Sima Mo's face changed, and his body exploded like smoke, and dense white moths flew away. Screams came from behind. These Gu Masters were not weak, but they were obviously inferior in realm to monsters like Mr. Shrimp
Black Crow Valley.
Chu Hong and Zhong Shan stood in a wooden house. On the wooden bed next to them, Sima Mo leaned against the wall with a pale face, and his body was covered with wounds. Most of these wounds have scabbed, and a few are still bleeding.
"That's roughly what happened. It's lucky to be able to save my life." Sima Mo coughed violently twice after saying this, and a little blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Even Mr. Shrimp has come ashore"
Zhong Shan's face was very gloomy.
Sima Mo had discussed with him about going to the sea area to find materials this time. Originally, he was going to go with him, but later the Tongxin Gu broke out, so he had to not go. As a result, such a big thing happened just because of this negligence.
Almost all the Gu Masters who went to "catch the tide" died. It was Sima Mo's reaction that was fast enough, and the White Moth clone had a strong ability to save his life. If someone else went, he would have died long ago.
"Have a good rest. I'll find a way to deal with the tide."
Chu Hong stood up and pushed the door open and walked out.
"Should I notify the fourth junior brother and the little junior sister?"
"They have just switched to the insect sutra, and their strength is not even that of an insect Gu Master. Even if they come, they will only be a drag."
The streets outside were full of wailing sounds, and some mourning sounds were mixed in. These people were the insect masters who "caught the tide" last night. Almost everyone who survived was injured. Chu Hong and Zhong Shan came here after receiving Sima Mo's news.
"We must escape quickly! Go to the mountains. Only by going to the mountains can we avoid the impact of the tide!"
A wine bottle was thrown out of the window, and the ceramic wine bottle hit the ground, breaking out large pieces of porcelain slag, and the wine was scattered all over the ground.
