Chapter 498: Chapter 495 Threat from the Sun Shadow Association

Little Zi? Lin Tian’s face instantly lined with black veins, completely speechless. Second Miss was truly deserving of the title, even giving a little beetle a name had to be gender-specific—he had no choice but to nod silently.

"Thunder Wolf, hand me a bullet." Lin Tian then said to Thunder Wolf.

The name of the Zombie Gu didn’t matter, what he was more interested in was the abilities of the evolved Zombie Gu. If it had used the resources of zombie blood and the Golden Silkworm Gu merely to evolve its appearance, Lin Tian wouldn’t mind slapping this prodigal bug to death—oh, no, it should be said ’a prodigal insect’.

"Brother Lin, what do you need a bullet for? If you like, I can give you this whole box of bullets," Thunder Wolf said, curious, but he still backed out a bullet and gave it to Lin Tian.

These bullets had no markings, so even if the police from Japan got their hands on them, they wouldn’t know where they came from. Lin Tian, however, wasn’t using it to kill someone, but to conduct an experiment.

"I have my uses for it, and you’ll find out soon," Lin Tian said with a mysterious smile, taking the bullet and throwing it to the ground next to Little Zi.

"Second Miss, can you order Little Zi to see if she can gnaw on this bullet?" Lin Tian said to Xiao Manxuan.

Everyone suddenly realized that he wanted to test Little Zi’s eating ability.

Xiao Manxuan, also curious, promptly said, "Little Zi, quickly gnaw the bullet."

Damn, Second Miss, aren’t you being silly? Did you think the Gu worms are pets? You’re actually instructing the Gu vocally—have you forgotten the control methods Li Qingyun taught you just now? Lin Tian was once again filled with black lines, speechlessly asking the heavens.

Li Qingyun and Li Yue also smiled kindly, but they said nothing, for it was not surprising for Xiao Manxuan to make such a mistake, as she wasn’t a Gu Cultivator.

But then, an unexpected scene occurred. Little Zi seemed to understand Xiao Manxuan’s words. It flew up and circled in front of her, then settled on the bullet.

It landed precisely on the bullet’s tip, and then its sharp mouth quickly opened and closed. In a short while, it had actually gnawed a hole straight through the bullet head!

The sniper rifle bullet was made of high-carbon steel with a very high hardness, and yet Little Zi managed to bite through the bullet head with its strong teeth.

"Wow, Little Zi, you’re amazing, come back!" Xiao Manxuan called out happily.

She had realized her mistake by looking at Li Qingyun’s expression just now, but she had also unexpectedly discovered that talking directly could indeed command the Gu, and that Little Zi was really powerful.

Little Zi paused on Xiao Manxuan’s hand and then wriggled back inside the metal bead of the necklace.

"Truly rare, for a Gu to evolve to such a degree. If I’m not wrong, it not only inherited the Zombie Gu’s ability to swallow but also the Gu poison of the Golden Silkworm Gu. When you have the chance, young lady, you might try to test it," Li Qingyun remarked in admiration.

Lin Tian was of course very pleased as well. He hadn’t anticipated that what was just an impromptu outing with Xiao Manxuan would turn into such a remarkable adventure. Now, with Little Zi’s protection, her personal safety had an additional layer of security.

"Brother Lin Tian, how do you plan to deal with this sniper?" Thunder Wolf asked.

The sniper had been praying the whole time, hoping that in their joy they would forget about him and let him go. Even though he claimed not to fear death, that didn’t mean he wanted to die.

"Having the evolved Little Zi parasite in his body, and turning him into a Half Zombie, he should be more powerful than those fellows, I guess," Lin Tian stroked his chin, pondering aloud.

The sniper’s facial muscles twitched upon hearing the words; he knew all too well what a Half Zombie was—neither human nor monster, more beast than man, forever under someone else’s control. As an excellent sniper, living a good life, one would have to be out of their mind to become a Half Zombie.

"Lin Tian, Little Zi is so cute, I don’t want it to parasitize this person." Before the sniper could respond, Xiao Manxuan, the little girl, was the first to object.

However, her reason for objection made Lin Tian not know whether to laugh or cry. Little Zi, who nibbled on bullets as if they were tofu, was deemed cute, and the little girl hadn’t seen a Half Zombie transformed by the Zombie Gu, or else she wouldn’t be calling it cute.

But Lin Tian hadn’t really intended to do so either; the sniper’s body already contained a Soul-devouring Gu, and adding a Zombie Gu into the mix—who knew what the consequences would be.

Seeing Lin Tian deep in thought, the sniper took the initiative to say, "I’m willing to tell you everything I know... "

But Lin Tian cut him off, speaking indifferently, "Are you about to say that the Gu Cultivator’s ultimate goal in cultivating the Soul-devouring Gu is to target the Xiao Family?"

"How did you know?" The sniper blurted out, looking astonished.

"Because your loyal Youzi has already defected." Lin Tian said with a cold sneer.

"Impossible..." The sniper began, but halted after a few words when something occurred to him. He asked, "Could this Zombie Gu be the one that was inside Youzi?"

"Correct, which is why you’ve lost your value. You have no more bargaining chips left," Lin Tian said with a faint smile.

"You... you can’t kill me, your friend has been afflicted with Gu, and if you kill me, he’ll lose his life," the sniper said in a hurry.

Lin Tian’s gaze sharpened, and he said ominously, "Our friend has been cursed with a Gu? Who is it?"

The sniper, held under Lin Tian’s intense gaze, felt like he was facing an unparalleled Evil God. A pressure weighed upon his chest, making it difficult to breathe and causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

Surrounded by a circle of people glaring coldly at him, he couldn’t help but relent, even with his courage.

"I... I’m not quite sure, I just heard that a student with the surname Su has some relation to the big boss’s rival, which would be you," the sniper confessed in a panic, divulging what he knew.

A student with the surname Su? Lin Tian felt puzzled. He didn’t have any classmates with the surname Su; he only knew Su Qingqing, the stunning beauty, but she was already working and wasn’t a student.

Su Qingqing? Su Wenshan! Suddenly a person flashed through Lin Tian’s mind—it was Su Qingqing’s younger brother, Su Wenshan, who had previously traded information for money.

Su Wenshan didn’t remember many things, which Lin Tian thought was strange at the time. Now recalling it, that was a symptom of being cursed with Gu. It was very likely Nan Jujun who was behind this, having targeted Su Wenshan.

"You’re talking about Su Wenshan?" Lin Tian asked coldly.

"Yes, yes, that’s Su Wenshan, I remember now. According to the news from Nan Jujun, that kid actually dared to disobey, and with Nan Jujun’s ruthless character, he isn’t someone you can just disobey. Nan Jujun was going to eliminate him, but the boss said to avoid gratuitously creating branches on the tree and told him to leave Su for the time being. But if you kill me and anger the big boss above, his life won’t be spared, and remember we’re in Japan, this is our turf, you’d better think it through," the sniper said honestly, but a cunning glint flashed in his eyes.

Hearing all this, Lin Tian knew that a lot of the information was provided by the Bai Family—double crossers!

He sneered and said, "So, like those other Half Zombies of Nan Jujun, you’re the so-called Gu Cultivator’s henchman. There were six of them, four men and two women, now only Youzi is left, the rest have been killed by me. Do you really think I’d care about killing one more like you?"
