Chapter 63 Got the Wine Bug! (Thank You to Mr. Nuanyang for Your Silver Alliance! Orz)
As soon as Fang entered the water, Zhou Qing felt a bone-chilling chill coming from all directions.
He circulated the energy and blood in his chest to his limbs and bones, and used the true energy of the clear water to resist the cold air of the pool.
"We still can't stay in Hantan for long."
After Zhou Qing entered the water, he felt that his energy consumption rate increased significantly. After finding the right direction, he followed the thread spit out by Er Qing and swam towards the depths of the pool.
The cold pool didn't feel deep, but in fact Zhou Qing swam almost twenty meters down, but still couldn't see the bottom.
And when we reached this position, it was already pitch black below. Even if Zhou Qing had eagle eyesight, he could hardly see anything clearly here.
You can only rely on the water quality brought by the Blue Water Technique and the perception ability brought by the true energy to go downstream.
However, the silk that Er Qing spits out is coming to an end.
The longest silk thread it spits out now is only about twenty-five meters.
Zhou Qing swam about two meters further and suddenly felt a ferocious aura not far in front of him.
He could only vaguely see a half-white and half-green caterpillar, tightly entangled in Erqing's silk thread.
However, it was not willing to give in. It kept struggling violently, and the silk thread was sinking into the deep water little by little.
Sensing Zhou Qing's approach, its head protruded with a pair of eyes the size of broad beans, and its ferocious aura became even colder.
At this time, the wine bug opened its mouth and sucked in the pool water, and ice as thick as a sewing needle quickly condensed in its mouth.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing immediately took out the red gourd pinned to his waist and pulled out the wooden plug.
The half-empty red gourd was instantly filled with pool water, but the wine inside did not flow out due to the influence of the water pressure.
The next moment, the ice in the wine bug's mouth dissipated directly, and a pair of eyes full of ferocious aura became clear in an instant.
It stopped struggling, and all seven pairs of legs started paddling at the same time.
Since most of its body was entangled in Erqing's silk thread, the wine bug could only move closer to the red gourd under the water.
"." Zhou Qing's mouth twitched, it was so fucking realistic.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing stretched the red gourd in his hand forward, and the wine worm got into the gourd.
He immediately re-plugged the cork, and then swam upward in the direction of the Erqing silk thread.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
As soon as he emerged, Zhou Qing breathed heavily.
"Fortunately, I have the pure Qi of clear water to protect my body, otherwise I would definitely not be able to persevere."
Zhou Qing climbed onto the shore.
He rested for a moment, regained his strength, and then carefully opened the red gourd.
The wine bug was swimming happily in the wine. When Zhou Qing looked at it, although he was a little wary, he did not show any aggression.
As Zhou Qing focused his attention on the wine bug, the jade tablet in his soul shimmered faintly.
The next moment, a line of text appeared in his sight.
[You have obtained a new Gu insect—the wine insect]
[Wine Bug: A rare Gu bug that mutated from the Green Silk Gu under extremely harsh conditions. It is currently in its larval stage. Due to the lack of food and drink, it has been starved for a long time and is now on the verge of degeneration. 】
[Refining conditions: Feed various fine wines to provide true energy or true essence. 】
[Refining effect: Help the Gu Master to greatly increase the chance of opening the 'Yuan Aperture', and feel the wonder of 'Zhoutian Qi Collection' in advance; temper the meridians, purify the true energy, and increase the power of the true energy by 20%, speeding up the recovery speed of the true energy . 】
"So strong!"
Zhou Qing's eyes widened when he saw the description of the wine bug on Yuhu.
At his current level, he still doesn’t know the meaning of ‘Yuan Qiao’ and ‘Zhou Tian Qi Collection’.
But to temper the meridians, purify the true energy, enhance the power of the true energy, and speed up the recovery speed, the literal meaning is simple and intuitive.
When the meridians are strong, the flow of Qi in the body will speed up.
The purification of true energy means that the quality is improved, and the total amount of true energy that can be stored in the Dantian will also increase accordingly.
The increase in the power of Zhenqi is equivalent to directly optimizing the skills. The same martial arts is 20% stronger. What is the concept after reaching the realm?
As for the increase in the speed of infuriating recovery, it is also beneficial to protracted battles. No one can avoid encountering enemies of similar strength.
"The increase of a wine bug on the human body is so exaggerated. Is the Gu Master profession really so much better than the Warrior profession? Or maybe I have too little experience."
Zhou Qing sighed at the power of the wine bug.
"Puff." Erqing on the side made a voice.
"You are also very strong." Zhou Qing smiled.
His attention returned to the red gourd.
The wine worm wanders in the wine mixed with the pond water, its fleshy body continues to expand and contract, and the wine in the red gourd slowly drops.
Seeing that the wine bug was no longer hostile to him, Zhou Qing put a finger into the mouth of the gourd, and then gathered his true energy into his fingertips.
Low-level warriors do not yet have the ability to make the true energy survive outside the body for a long time, so they must have a carrier, such as Zhou Qing's newly purchased demon-slaying knife.
However, he didn't need to do anything. He had just sent out his true energy, and the seven pairs of legs of the wine bug were paddling at the same time, and its body was pressed against his fingers.
Zhou Qing felt that the true energy in his body was quickly moving towards the Liquor Bug's body.
After a while, his Dantian became completely empty, and the mist-like true energy was exhausted.
A sense of emptiness emerged.
However, he was a warrior both internally and externally. He had exhausted his true energy and still had strong energy and blood to maintain, so this feeling of weakness did not last long.
At this time, Zhou Qing pulled out his finger.
Inside the wine, black eyes the size of broad beans were staring straight at him.
A feeling of 'blood connection' appears between one person and one insect.
The wine bug couldn't speak, but Zhou Qing seemed to be able to feel its closeness, as if it was saying - you are a pretty good person!
"Can you communicate with it?" Zhou Qing looked at Er Qing aside.
"Puff." Erqing got into the wine gourd.
However, within a few breaths, Erqing climbed out again.
"Puff."
[It told me to get away. 】
Erqing said so.
"." Zhou Qing's mouth twitched. It seemed that this alcoholic was not easy to get along with.
"Okay, let's lock it up first and see how to subdue it."
Zhou Qing asked Er Qing to take back most of the silk thread he spit out, and cut off a small section to tie the wine bug to prevent it from escaping.
Then, he re-corked the wine gourd and pinned it to his waist.
"Er Qing, without the alcohol bug causing trouble, I will leave the following matters to you."
Zhou Qing pointed to the cold pool in front of him.
"Puff!" Erqing was also very excited.
The last time I came here, there were still a lot of Gu stones under the pond, but the wine bug wouldn't eat them, nor would they take them away.
Now that the wine bug has been caught, no one can stop it.
"By the way, as you said last time, bring the corpse with you as well. Search carefully to make sure you don't miss anything good!"
Zhou Qing added.
"Poof!" Erqing flew into the pool.
Seeing this, he returned to the entrance of the cave and dragged the body of the black-scaled python to the edge of the cold pool.
The water in Hantan is freezing cold, which is a natural food preservation place.
Otherwise, he would not be able to finish eating such a big python in a short time.
