Chapter 497: Chapter 494 Little Zi

What would it mean if Lin Tian gave his all? More powerful than a cannon, the brick, imbued with incredible kinetic energy, whistled towards the helicopter.

Unfortunately, the brick couldn’t withstand such a fierce impact. It hadn’t flown far when it burst apart with a "bang," turning into powder.

Damn, I forgot the brick was just ordinary material, it cannot withstand the power of my force, Lin Tian realized after a brief stun. Moreover, he didn’t know how to use a sniper rifle, otherwise using Thunder Wolf’s sniper rifle might have been better.

Guns, it seems just pulling the trigger should do the trick, but it’s not that easy. In TV shows, any ordinary woman picks up a handgun, and at the crucial moment, helps the protagonist kill the enemy, which is hardly possible in reality.

Even though the recoil of a handgun isn’t great, it’s not something an ordinary person can handle. Out of ten shots, nine would likely miss the target, and the one that hits wouldn’t strike where originally aimed but rather hit an arm or a leg.

Moreover, the loud noise of firing a gun could startle a person significantly. As for shooting with a sniper rifle, that’s even more complicated. Although Lin Tian had shot targets during military training, he really didn’t know how to use a sniper rifle because merely able to pull the trigger doesn’t count as knowing how.

The others didn’t understand Lin Tian’s action of suddenly throwing bricks into the air.

Ning Luoxi however, said, "There’s a helicopter above."

"Yes, I was distracted by other things earlier and didn’t think about the enemy flying above our heads," Lin Tian said.

In fact, if you listened carefully, you could still hear the helicopter flying, so it wasn’t strange that Ning Luoxi could discern it. However, Lin Tian puzzled over why a helicopter would just fly over Xikou City—was the airspace control in Japan so lax?

Xiao Manxuan seemed to perceive his confusion and explained, "Lin Tian, you might not know, there’s a tourism project in Xikou City where after paying money, you can take a helicopter tour over the whole city. So I guess, cities in Japan might have this tourism model too. If there really is a helicopter above, it must belong to some tour company."

"There’s such a thing?" Lin Tian was exasperated. The Gu Cultivator must have used this to take to the sky. With the power of the Sun Shadow Association, obtaining such a helicopter wouldn’t be difficult.

"They must have escaped," Ning Luoxi said, frowning as she looked up at the sky.

"For such low-altitude flying, couldn’t the military radar surveillance system lock onto the helicopter?" Lin Tian asked.

Ning Luoxi nodded and replied, "It can, and it can be shot down with missiles, but even in our country, they won’t shoot it down."

Thunder Wolf added, "Yes, in a city, they definitely wouldn’t allow the use of such powerful weapons due to the extensive impact area. Most importantly, shooting down a civilian helicopter for no reason would create an international uproar. Accusations of immorality, human rights violations, and various disputes would arise. No country would issue such an order."

Lin Tian was just asking casually. The enemy had come prepared and had already made plans for retreat. The Gu Cultivator could easily slip away by blending into a crowd.

"Let him live a few more days, I believe we will meet again. Moreover, he suffered heavy losses this time, even losing his most precious Life Gu, which is like losing everything," Lin Tian said nonchalantly.

He wasn’t discouraged about an enemy escaping; perhaps the Gu Cultivator wasn’t the final boss. Keeping him alive might lure out more enemies. Otherwise, if such a crucial figure as the Gu Cultivator died, other enemies might hide, making them even harder to find.

Li Qingyun also agreed, saying, "That’s right, the Life Gu is almost as crucial as life itself to a Gu Cultivator. It’s cultivated over a lifetime, and that one was a Golden Silkworm Gu, even more precious. This blow is the heaviest for the Gu Cultivator."

"Why is there no movement at all after the zombie Gu ate the Golden Silkworm Gu? Shouldn’t there be some changes, like evolution or something?" Lin Tian also looked at the zombie Gu on the ground, puzzled.

"There should be, I guess. The zombie Gu is already mature, and whether it can evolve further is down to luck and chance," Li Qingyun said uncertainly.

"Let’s wait a bit longer. It’s lying motionless on the ground, so there must be some changes happening," Xiao Manxuan said.

Although she was still afraid of insects, she no longer resisted this little beetle and secretly hoped it would become more formidable.

Everyone’s attention returned to the zombie Gu, ignoring the sniper on the ground who, injured all over, was unable to escape.

A few minutes later, the previously motionless zombie Gu suddenly spat out a shiny, white silk that wrapped around itself.

"Why is it spinning silk? Is it turning into a spider or a silkworm pupa?" Xiao Manxuan exclaimed in surprise.

Li Qingyun and Li Yue both shook their heads, indicating they had no idea.

"It’s my first time seeing a zombie Gu consume a Golden Silkworm Gu, and the evolution of Gu insects is highly uncertain; a completely new species might even emerge," Li Qingyun said excitedly, as the evolution of Gu insects held great research value.

The silk spat out by the zombie Gu grew more abundant and eventually formed a cocoon that enveloped itself entirely. Unsure of how things would unfold, Lin Tian and the others did not dare to move the cocoon.

After half an hour, the cocoon moved slightly, then a small creature broke through and crawled out. The creature still resembled a beetle, round and plump, but its color had dramatically changed.

Originally a dark red color, it had now turned purple, with dark gold patterns distributed on its wings, looking even more beautiful.

Upon emerging, it began to consume the cocoon it had formed, inheriting the zombie Gu’s strong devouring ability. The cocoon, twice its size, was completely consumed.

"Wow, the little beetle has become so beautiful," Xiao Manxuan gushed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Girls have always had a weakness for beautiful things, and insects were no exception. Xiao Manxuan fell in love with the evolved beetle at first sight.

The essence of this little beetle was still a Gu insect, but it was much prettier and cuter than Li Yue’s mosquito poison and Snake Gu. Most people would never imagine that such a delicate and beautiful beetle was a formidable Gu insect.

Of course, Li Yue’s snake Gu python was also impressive, but compared to it, the little beetle seemed more harmless, its deceptive nature greater.

"Lin Tian, how about we give it a name? Constantly calling it zombie Gu sounds a bit scary," Xiao Manxuan said cheerfully, her penchant for naming things kicking in again.

Lin Tian, who had the least interest in naming things, casually responded, "You see the golden pattern on its wings is quite pretty; how about calling it Little Gold?"

"Little Gold? But it’s a female. Little Gold sounds too masculine. Let’s call it Little Zi instead. Look at its beautiful purple color; Little Zi is more fitting," Xiao Manxuan thought seriously and then suggested.
