Chapter 495: Chapter 492: Mutation!

"It’s fine, my Sect has a unique Ancient Martial Cultivation Technique that resists poison. After cultivating it, one can become immune to most deadly poisons. Otherwise, how could I casually handle Golden Silkworm Gu?" Lin Tian saw everyone looking at him with suspicion and once again brought up that non-existent Sect.

This excuse always worked well, as there were certain rules in the Ancient Martial World that they couldn’t breach with questions.

Indeed, once he said this, nobody pursued the matter further, except for Ning Luoxi who still looked puzzled.

Li Qingyun didn’t delve further into this issue. In this world, there are thousands of oddities, and it wasn’t strange for the Ancient Martial World to have such a unique Cultivation Technique.

She thought for a moment and said, "If I’m not mistaken, this Golden Silkworm Gu must be that Gu Cultivator’s life-linked Gu."

"Life-linked Gu?" That means if it’s destroyed, its master will be injured as well. Granny Li, can Xiao Manxuan’s Zombie Gu devour the Golden Silkworm Gu? Since the opponent has unleashed the Golden Silkworm Gu, I want it to have no way back!" Lin Tian searched for the Golden Silkworm Gu with his Physical Eye while asking.

"Of course not, this Golden Silkworm Gu is already mature, its toxicity is extremely ferocious. Humans can’t withstand it, and neither can the Zombie Gu. Although Zombie Gu’s devouring ability is formidable, if it comes into contact with the Golden Silkworm Poison, it will be poisoned 99% of the time," Li Qingyun immediately refuted.

Golden Silkworm Gu is a top-grade Gu Worm, not only deadly to humans but also tremendously lethal to other Gu Worms, which is why many Gu Cultivators even call it the Gu King.

However, Lin Tian had always been unconventional; the things others deemed impossible were exactly what he wanted to attempt. Since the opponent’s Gu Cultivator also believed their Golden Silkworm Gu was nearly invincible, Lin Tian wanted to catch him off guard.

The Gu Cultivator had always been the one taking the initiative, which frustrated Lin Tian significantly. Although he couldn’t expose the Gu Cultivator tonight, destroying one of his Golden Silkworm Gus would surely cause him heavy losses.

Li Qingyun had cultivated the Golden Silkworm Gu for so long and still hadn’t managed to complete its cultivation, whereas this Gu Cultivator had succeeded, surely at great cost. Once the Golden Silkworm Gu was destroyed, it would not only injure him but also let him taste what it was like to be attacked.

Lin Tian disregarded Li Qingyun’s denial and turned to Xiao Manxuan, "Second Miss, please give me the protective necklace."

Although uncertain of what Lin Tian intended to do, Xiao Manxuan chose to trust him; after all, it was just a Gu Worm. Even if there were ten, she would not hesitate to give them to Lin Tian if he needed them.

Lin Tian took the necklace Xiao Manxuan handed him, under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, he gently touched the necklace, then held it in his palm.

Isn’t the Golden Silkworm Gu supposed to be powerful? What Lin Tian wanted to do was make the Zombie Gu powerful as well, enough to confront the Golden Silkworm Gu on equal footing.

Zombie Gu enhances by feeding on zombie blood, and what Lin Tian had in abundance was zombie blood, specifically from a Blue-eyed Level zombie, countless times more powerful than that from low-level zombies.

Of course, even Zombie Gu could not withstand a drop of Blue-eyed Level zombie blood. Initially, Rossi became much stronger with just one drop. Therefore, Lin Tian just forced a slender thread of blood out, then controlled the blood thread to enter the metal bead of the necklace.

Lin Tian conducted these actions very covertly, making them virtually unnoticeable to outsiders. After completing this action, he let go of his hand, and the necklace reappeared before everyone.

In truth, Lin Tian was also somewhat apprehensive, as the quality of the Zombie Gu was too low, and he wasn’t certain if it could endure such high-grade zombie blood.

If it could withstand it, it would evolve; if not, it would explode and die!

At the moment he released his hand, the metal bead on the necklace moved, an orifice automatically opened, and a small beetle flew out.

"Huh, Xuanxuan didn’t call for it, so why did the Zombie Gu automatically fly out?" Li Yue found it very strange.

Not to mention her confusion, even Li Qingyun couldn’t understand, and the owner Xiao Manxuan didn’t find it odd, mainly because she still didn’t understand Gu Techniques, so she didn’t pay much mind to the Gu Worm’s actions.

Li Qingyun shook her head and then turned her gaze towards Lin Tian; the incident had occurred right after he had contact with the necklace, so naturally, he was the most suspicious. Everyone finally realized this was not normal and turned their attention to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian spread his hands, signaling that he hadn’t tampered with anything, and said innocently, "I don’t know either, maybe it was hungry."

"What do you mean hungry, you think it’s a human?" Li Yue scoffed and suddenly raised her voice, "Unless it evolved, only then such a loss of control would occur."

"It must have evolved," Li Qingyun, who had also been deep in thought, immediately agreed with the suggestion after this reminder.

"But why would it suddenly evolve?" Li Yue asked again, shifting her gaze back to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian, once again the suspect, simply returned the necklace to Xiao Manxuan, to keep these clever women from uncovering his secret.

The secret of his zombie identity, even if the four beauties before him stripped and tried seduction, he resolved firmly not to reveal.

Lin Tian kept quiet, and they had no way to force it out of him, not by fighting nor by seduction. Each woman here had a complex identity and it was impossible for them to use seduction over an uncertain piece of information.

However, the way Li Qingyun looked at Lin Tian completely changed, even more intense than the way she looked at Xiao Manxuan.

Of course, Lin Tian knew this intense look was not of romantic attraction; did Li Qingyun consider him a treasure?

Think about it, the Gu Worms that passed through his hands could evolve so easily, indeed a dream come true for a Gu Cultivator, no wonder even Granny Li, a Gu Cultivator of high attainment, was tempted.

"Wow, its color changed!" Xiao Manxuan pointed at the Zombie Gu in the air and suddenly exclaimed.

Her exclamation broke everyone’s train of thought, and all eyes simultaneously turned towards the Zombie Gu in the air.

The Zombie Gu’s appearance was that of a round little beetle, originally of a pale red color. But now, the red deepened before their very eyes. From light red to red, from red to blood red, and finally to dark red, like the color of half-coagulated blood.

The little beetle’s color settled on dark red and stopped changing. However, its legs underwent a mutation, the already existing barbs became sharper, and each of the six legs sprouted a row of backward-facing spines, which seemed to gleam with a cold light under the moonlight.

All of its shape and color transformations were completed, looking much more formidable, but where exactly the enhancements were could not yet be seen.

However, the Zombie Gu then made a move that surprised everyone; it actually flew towards Lin Tian and then performed an energetic figure-eight dance in front of him. The light dance movements seemed to convey its joyfulness, as if cheering towards Lin Tian!

As a zombie, Lin Tian had enhanced sensory abilities, and he clearly felt the message from the Zombie Gu, like a child cheering, performing a pleasing dance in front of him!
