Chapter 40 Blood Gu Technique
When the boning knife cut through the shrunken inner thigh, the sharp blade was suddenly blocked by something.
Song Wen thought he had cut into the ice again, but after a closer look, he found that there was a foreign object in the wrinkled thigh.
It was this foreign object that blocked the blade.
And looking closely, there was a not-so-obvious scar on the thigh, but Song Wen had not noticed it before because the skin of the corpse was too wrinkled.
Song Wen slowly cut through the skin along the edge of the foreign object, and the foreign object finally appeared in front of him.
"Blood Gu Shu"!
A two-palm-sized exercise made of monster skin appeared in front of Song Wen.
Song Wen slowly stretched his limbs and moved his head, as if he was relaxing his limbs after a long time of dissecting the corpse.
He took the opportunity to look around.
He was sure that there was no one around, and Yuan Cheng was still in his cave and had not come out.
In other words, no one knew the existence of "Blood Gu Shu".
Song Wen calmly put "Blood Gu Shu" into his storage bag.
Song Wen, who received the "Blood Gu Technique", was inevitably a little excited and happy. This technique should be the old woman's main technique.
Moreover, Song Wen guessed that the old woman was probably a strong person in the foundation-building period. The technique that she needed to carefully hide must not be a common thing, and it must be precious.
After Song Wen calmed down a little, he continued to decompose the body.
Fortunately, the process of dissecting the body did not show the abnormality that Song Wen was worried about. The body decomposed smoothly. Except for the fact that there was surprisingly little blood in the old woman's body, there was no abnormality or danger. All this was until Song Wen opened the old woman's chest.
The shattered internal organs appeared in front of Song Wen.
The old woman's internal organs seemed to have been gnawed by countless tiny insects, and there was still unmelted ice on the old woman's body, which meant that the old woman's internal organs were gnawed like this when she was still alive.
Song Wen simply couldn't imagine what kind of pain the old woman had endured before she died.
"Is it because of practicing Gu magic?"
Song Wen felt a little scared. The tiny holes in his internal organs made him feel uncomfortable and horrified.
After a short rest, Song Wen overcame the discomfort and continued to decompose the body.
When he took off the broken heart, three rice-sized insect eggs slid out along the holes in the heart.
The eggs were milky white, with a very thin transparent surface layer, and a small white insect wrapped inside the surface layer.
"These eggs should be Gu insect eggs!"
After Song Wen confirmed once again that there was no one around, he took out a jade bottle and put the three eggs in it.
Then, he cut open the heart and found five more of the same eggs. He put all these eggs into the jade bottle and then put them into the clothes on his chest.
Song Wen was horrified by the miserable state of the old woman's internal organs, but he subconsciously thought that if he could cultivate these poisonous insects, he would have an additional means to fight against the enemy, which would help him have a better chance of survival in this dangerous world.
Song Wen spent nearly half an hour to finally decompose the old woman's body completely.
There was no danger during the whole process, and no more insect eggs were found.
When Song Wen handed over the storage bag, Yuan Cheng said.
"Did the dissection go smoothly? No danger?"
Song Wen knew that Yuan Cheng should know the identity of the old woman's poison master, but he did not remind himself to pay attention to the poisonous insects that may appear on the body when dissecting the body.
As we all know, the poison master will hide the poisonous insects in various parts of the body. When fighting with the poison master, even if you kill the poison master, you still cannot relax your vigilance.
There are many cultivators who are unaware of the power of Gu Masters. After killing Gu Masters, they were careless when touching the corpses and were injured by the Gu worms in the Gu Master's body, and lost their lives.
During the dissection of the corpse, Song Wen also roughly figured out the various abnormalities on the old woman's body.
The old woman should be a Gu Master in the foundation-building period. She lost the battle and was killed.
The person who killed her was afraid that there were Gu worms hidden in her body, so he froze it with ice magic.
As time passed, the ice began to melt gradually.
Yuan Cheng was worried that as the ice melted, the Gu worms might revive, so he asked Song Wen to work overtime to decompose the body.
Moreover, there were only Song Wen and Yuan Cheng in the entire corpse-dissecting cave. If something unexpected happened, the Gu worms would definitely attack Song Wen first, and Yuan Cheng's cave was protected by a formation. The cave and the corpse-dissecting platform were far enough, and Yuan Cheng had enough time to start the formation.
In other words, even if the Gu worms revived, they would only kill Song Wen, which could greatly reduce the damage to the corpse dissecter.
Don't reveal your true feelings!
Although he was angry, Song Wen looked confused and said.
"There is no danger. It's just that the ice crystals on the corpse are too solid. It's difficult to decompose the corpse and it takes a little longer."
Yuan Cheng nodded, took the storage bag, and handed Song Wen five more spirit stones.
At the same time, he explained to Song Wen who looked puzzled.
"This female corpse is extra. These five spirit stones are your hard work fee."
Hearing this, Song Wen nodded and took the spirit stones.
He knew that these five spirit stones were his life-saving money.
If other corpse dissectors got these five spirit stones, they would definitely be grateful, but Song Wen didn't want to earn these extra spirit stones.
Although there were no accidents during the corpse dissection this time, and he also got a book of Gu Dao skills, he really didn't want to take such risks. Now he can steal the essence of the corpse dissection cave without anyone noticing and earn spirit stones, and he doesn't need to take risks for spirit stones.
Although he was reluctant, at least Yuan Cheng didn't deduct the spirit stones he deserved, Song Wen still thanked him respectfully.
"Thank you, Brother Yuan Cheng."
Yuan Cheng said, "Go, remember, don't mention this matter to others."
...
Song Wen took out the "Blood Gu Technique" as soon as he returned to the cave.
He needed to figure out what kind of Gu insects the 8 eggs he collected were.
He must find the correct way to raise and control them, otherwise if he lets them hatch and grow, they may backfire on him.
"Blood Gu Technique" records the methods of cultivating and raising dozens of Gu insects. There are many small notes between the lines, which should be the old woman's own insights into raising Gu.
Song Wen also found the origin of the eggs from it.
This Gu is called the Beetle Gu, and it is a very common Gu insect. It has low combat power and is quite docile, which is very different from the image of Gu insects as being sinister and vicious in common people's cognition. However, this Gu also has its advantages.
This Gu is extremely small, and the adult is only half the size of a grain of rice. It flies silently and is extremely difficult to detect. It is often used for spies and exploration.
