Chapter 43 Beetle Gu

Two days later. ơɱ

The first egg was successfully hatched.

The beetle larvae looked like tiny maggots, milky white, twisting and turning in the cauldron.

Song Wen threw a green spirit grass into the cauldron. The larvae seemed to smell the food, climbed onto the leaves of the spirit grass, and began to nibble on them carefully.

Three days later, all seven active eggs were hatched, and only the egg with poor activity remained motionless.

Song Wen had the idea of ​​abandoning it, but seeing that its activity was getting stronger and stronger, Song Wen decided to observe it for a few more days.

These larvae lay on the green spirit grass every day, eating non-stop, as if they were never full.

The strange thing is that they kept eating, but their size did not grow, and it was unknown where the green spirit grass they ate was consumed.

Two more days passed.

Song Wen, who had just returned from the corpse-dissolving cave that day, found that the last egg had also hatched.

The newly hatched larvae are not exactly the same as the other larvae. There is a small black spot on the back of the larvae, which is particularly conspicuous on the milky white body.

"What's wrong with this larvae? Is it a mutation?"

Song Wen observed for a long time, but he didn't see what was special about this larvae. There was not much record of larvae in the "Blood Gu Art", and Song Wen didn't figure it out in the end.

However, after a long period of observation, Song Wen noticed that although this larvae had just been born, its eating speed was not slower than other larvae that had been born for a few days.

Each larva consumes one Qingling grass every day, and eight larvae will eat eight every day, which is one spirit stone, enough for Song Wen to buy 2.5 Qi Condensation Pills, enough for his daily practice.

If it weren't for the record in the "Blood Gu Art" that the larval stage of the armored insect is only about 20 days, and the armored insect eats less after growing into an adult. Song Wen was a little skeptical whether it was worth raising such an insect that did not have much attack power.

Half a month later

The larvae gradually began to spin silk and cocoon, wrapping themselves up. This was a sign that the beetle Gu larvae began to change into adults.

Song Wen dripped blood on each Gu cocoon, and at the same time, according to the spells recorded in the "Blood Gu Technique", he injected spells into the Gu cocoons one by one.

As the spells were injected, the originally milky white cocoons gradually became stained with dark lines, which looked quite mysterious and a bit weird.

This was the easiest time to refine the beetle Gu. At the moment of breaking out of the cocoon, the Gu worm would be controlled by Song Wen.

Of course, like the old woman, who raised the Gu worm in her body and completed the Gu worm from birth to larvae, and then to cocooning and breaking out of the cocoon in her body, these steps were not needed.

The Gu worms that hatched and grew in her body would naturally regard it as the mother Gu and obey her orders.

However, the larva with black spots was a sign that it had not yet cocooned.

Its aura was already more than ten times stronger than other Gu worms, and its appetite was also getting bigger and bigger. It ate almost three Qingling grasses every day, which made Song Wen go out to purchase Qingling grass again.

This made Song Wen have some special expectations for this different larva.

Maybe he would have a chance to raise the Holy Armor Gu that the old woman had never raised.

Another seven days passed.

The cocoon began to break, and gray beetles crawled out of the cocoon. The beetles were very small, less than half the size of a grain of rice.

The beetle Gu flew up from the Gu Ding and began to dance around Song Wen's body.

】

Song Wen could feel a sense of kindness and closeness from them.

Looking at these flying beetles, Song Wen was a little bit unbelievable. These insects that were so small that they were almost easily ignored were actually terrifying Gu worms.

All these beetles have the strength of the first level of Qi training. According to the old woman's notes, some beetle Gu can be promoted to the second level of Qi training, and very few of them can be promoted to the third level of Qi training.

Song Wen pinched a beetle on his fingertips and gradually began to exert force.

He found that he could not kill the beetle Gu with his current physical strength.

Although this thing has poor attack power, its defense is still good.

Song Wen now has the strength of the second level of Qi training, and he is practicing the magic body training method.

Song Wen, who wants to test the limit of the beetle Gu, began to use all his strength to activate the "Corpse King Blood Refining".

As the method was activated, Song Wen's body gradually emitted a strong corpse gas, and his skin gradually became iron blue and dark.

The skin and flesh of his whole body gradually became thin, like an incompletely dehydrated mummy.

The fingertips on his fingers became tough, and there was a faint cold light flashing on them, which gave people a chilling feeling of coldness.

The beetle Gu suddenly began to struggle violently, and even began to gnaw Song Wen's fingers.

This is a sign of the Gu worm's backlash!

As expected, using the Gu Ding to raise the Gu cannot completely refine the Gu worm. When the Gu worm encounters fatal danger, it may backlash the owner at any time.

Song Wen had to let go of his hand. He couldn't just kill the Gu worm that he had cultivated with great difficulty.

As the fatal threat faded, the hostility of the beetle Gu towards its owner Song Wen gradually faded.

Song Wen estimated that the beetle Gu could barely resist the attack of the second-level Qi training cultivator. After all, the attack power of the general Qi training cultivator would be weaker than that of the body training cultivator.

The attack power of the beetle Gu is the same as that of the first-level Qi training cultivator.

At this time, Song Wen also understood why the beetle Gu's combat effectiveness was not strong.

If the beetle Gu cannot reach a certain number, it is almost impossible to form combat power. Unless it happens to enter the enemy's body through the enemy's mouth and nose, it is possible to cause great damage to the enemy.

All sects, including casual cultivators, are at the lowest level, and they basically live cautiously. They basically don't go out to take risks.

The combat power of the beetle Gu is naturally not very useful.

However, if the number increases, there are hundreds or thousands of them, even if the cultivators in the late stage of Qi training encounter them, they can only flee in panic.

Next, Song Wen tested the detection function of the beetle Gu, which is its main function, at least in the old woman's place.

According to the experience left by the old woman, Song Wen attached his mental power to the beetle Gu, and the beetle Gu flew away.

Song Wen found that with the help of the beetle Gu, he could basically detect a distance of about 40 meters. Beyond this distance, his mental power would be difficult to sustain.

Without the help of the beetle Gu, with his current mental strength, he can only detect a distance of about 15 meters.

This is the result of his practice of the "Divine Forbidden Technique". Generally, the mental strength of a cultivator in the early stage of Qi training can only detect a distance of about 10 meters at most.

The beetle Gu greatly extends Song Wen's perception distance.

When the beetle Gu flies, it makes very little noise and is difficult to be detected. It is really a good tool for espionage and exploration.

This makes Song Wen have higher expectations for the black spot larvae, and he doesn't know what kind of surprise it will bring to him.
