Chapter 496 - 493: Is It Safe to Fly High?

Chapter 496: Chapter 493: Is It Safe to Fly High?

Feeling the message from the Zombie Gu, Lin Tian froze, feeling as if millions of metaphorical "grass mud horses" were stampeding through his mind.

"Damn it, this little thing couldn’t possibly see me as its daddy, could it? That would be bad enough, but if it saw me as its mommy, I’d really have nowhere to put my zombie face," Lin Tian thought with great dismay.

Last time, a drop of zombie blood not only saved Rossi but also transformed him, resulting in Rossi calling Lin Tian master. This time, was he to happily become a daddy? Or even a mommy?

Again, millions of metaphorical "grass mud horses" stampeded through his head, and Lin Tian felt utterly defeated.

"Lin Tian, why is the Zombie Gu being friendly to you?" Li Yue asked curiously.

"I don’t know, maybe my personal charm is just too irresistible," Lin Tian said, deliberately looking away and bragging narcissistically.

"Yeah, your charm is really something, not sparing even a beetle," Ning Luoxi retorted, which was rare for her.

Clearly, the little girl was still bothered by the recent event; she had never been held so intimately by a young man before.

Li Yue added another comment, "It’s a female insect, you know."

"Damn it," Lin Tian was really depressed as the conversation grew more absurd. Thunder Wolf was biting his lip and trying to stifle a laugh on the side, finding it hard to contain himself.

"Sister Yue, do Gu insects also have genders?" Xiao Manxuan asked curiously.

"Of course, all living things on earth are divided by gender: female, male, or hermaphroditic," Li Yue explained.

Lin Tian interjected, "Oh, hermaphroditic, is that what the legendary hermaphroditic creatures are?"

All four beauties glared at him at once, and Thunder Wolf gave him a thumbs-up. Having the guts to say such a thing in front of four beauties, especially with Instructor Ning there, showed quite some nerve.

Meanwhile, the Zombie Gu, after fluttering around, was ready to fly back to the metallic bead on the necklace. Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, thankful that the little thing still recognized Xiao Manxuan as its master.

However, an unexpected change occurred. A golden light suddenly shot in from outside. This time the target wasn’t the sniper but the Zombie Gu in midair.

The enemy’s Gu Cultivator, coveting the evolved Zombie Gu, wanted to claim it for themselves. If one color represented a rank, the Zombie Gu had just advanced several levels. Whether for research or feeding to the Golden Silkworm Gu, it would be an excellent choice.

It’s the Golden Silkworm Gu again! Lin Tian was the first to react, ready to go and crush this annoying Gu insect, but then he suddenly stopped.

He wasn’t afraid of the Golden Silkworm Gu; he wanted to see what the evolved Zombie Gu could do.

Li Qingyun and the others retreated to distance themselves from the dangerous Golden Silkworm Gu. On the ground, Qi, assisted by Thunder Wolf, also pulled back. As for the sniper, no one paid him any mind.

Watching the approaching golden light, the sniper was left to shiver on his own.

The Golden Silkworm Gu was about to collide with the little beetle, its most formidable feature being its Gu Poison. Upon contact, it could instantly release its Gu Poison to kill its opponent.

But the Zombie Gu was even faster, dodging the Golden Silkworm Gu’s attack with a quick sidestep. After it landed, the Golden Silkworm Gu disappeared again, hiding somewhere unknown.

Xiao Manxuan and the others definitely couldn’t see where the Golden Silkworm Gu had gone, but this time Lin Tian could see very clearly.

Upon landing, the Golden Silkworm Gu swiftly burrowed into the ground. No wonder it had been so hard to find before. Lin Tian had an epiphany; he had been searching every corner of the ruins and had neglected the ground underneath.

Knowing where you’re hiding, do you really think you can stay hidden?" A cold light flashed in Lin Tian’s eyes as he bent down and slammed his fist into the ground.

The ground shook violently, like an earthquake, rippling up and down. Xiao Manxuan and the others had already retreated, minimally affected. The sniper closest to the impact wasn’t so lucky, jolted up and then falling back down, his wounds aggravated, causing him so much pain he wished for death but found no escape.

This sniper had truly rotten luck, currently parasitized by a Soul-devouring Gu, unable to even contemplate suicide. Before the Soul-devouring Gu matured, it wouldn’t allow its host to die.

It could even influence memories, which wasn’t a small feat. Controlling a person’s basic thoughts and memories, perhaps that was the origin of the name Soul-devouring Gu.

Alongside the dirt and debris jolted into the air by Lin Tian’s punch, the Golden Silkworm Gu was also disturbed from its hiding.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..." A continuous sound as the small beetle’s wings vibrated rapidly, drawing a line through the air, and shot toward the Golden Silkworm Gu like lightning.

A light "snap" echoed as they collided. Despite the surrounding cacophony, the sound of the collision was clear, indicating how forceful the impact between the small beetle and the Golden Silkworm Gu was.

The Golden Silkworm Gu was much larger than the Zombie Gu, but upon collision, the Zombie Gu actually penetrated the body of the Golden Silkworm Gu!

Lin Tian, with the sharpest eyes, saw it most clearly, the Zombie Gu piercing the outer skin of the Golden Silkworm Gu with its two front claws and burrowing inside.

The exterior of the Golden Silkworm Gu was extremely tough, which allowed it to bounce around without harm, but it still succumbed to the Zombie Gu, its outer shell breached.

In its last moments of struggle, the Golden Silkworm Gu managed one final bounce with the help of a broken brick, before falling to the ground. After this fall, it could no longer spring back up, just writhing on the ground, each movement oozing yellow fluid from its wounds.

"Be careful not to touch it; the yellow liquid is highly poisonous!" Li Qingyun warned.

Even without her warning, the others were well aware and wouldn’t foolishly come into contact with the Golden Silkworm Gu.

"Granny Li, the Zombie Gu has burrowed inside it," Lin Tian reported.

"We can only wait now, to see whether the Zombie Gu kills it or if both perish together," Granny Li replied.

At that moment, the Golden Silkworm Gu wasn’t dead yet. It writhed again, and the Zombie Gu emerged from the hole, instantly starting to gnaw away at it.

In no time, it had devoured the entire Golden Silkworm Gu, leaving behind not a scrap. Its size had more than doubled in volume; how did it manage to consume it all?

But everyone was stunned by the evolved Zombie Gu’s abilities—immune to the Golden Silkworm Poisonous Insect Poison, faster speed, and more lethal power. What on earth had this little creature consumed to evolve to such an extent?

Lin Tian was thrilled inside, happy that the blood of the zombie hadn’t been wasted. With this power, protecting Xiao Manxuan had just gotten a lot safer.

While everyone was astounded by the destructive power of the Zombie Gu, a heart-wrenching scream tore through the night.

"It’s the Gu Cultivator! The Golden Silkworm Gu must’ve been his life Gu; he’s been hurt!" Li Qingyun exclaimed loudly.

But Lin Tian suddenly looked up sharply because the scream was coming from above. What was going on? Could the enemy fly?

As he looked up, he activated his super-vision, but even at its maximum range, he saw nothing. Meanwhile, his Physical Eye, which could see in the dark, detected a flying vehicle high up in the sky.

By its shape, the flying vehicle should be a helicopter, and the screams were emanating from there.

Think flying high keeps you safe? Lin Tian scoffed, picked up a piece of brick, and with all his strength, hurled it into the air.
