Chapter 1 Gu Boy
Da Sui, Qizhou, Yunze Mansion.
In Nabaofeng County, there is a large mountain a hundred miles outside the county seat called Mount Yan.
It was late autumn, and the forests in the mountains were all dyed.
In this beautiful place, there is a valley named "Insect Valley".
Hunters from nearby often come here with large quantities of prey in exchange for some magical medicines to cure diseases. Otherwise, ordinary people would never dare to approach the Worm Valley.
It is rumored that there is a Gu Master in the valley, and other wild cultivators in the mountain do not dare to stir up trouble.
Because anyone who offends this Gu Master will end up miserable, either being fed with Gu, or being refined alive into a medicine man like a puppet.
On this day, six hunters each drove a cart and brought a cart full of prey to the outside of the valley. Their palms holding the reins were already covered in cold sweat.
"Grandpa, that's the Gu boy..."
The young Orion leaned behind the old Orion and saw that the poisonous miasma at the mouth of the valley dispersed, and twenty-four Gu boys walked out of it.
The Gu children are not big, there are teenagers and half-grown children, all of them look scary.
Those with blue and black faces, those with horns on their heads, those with sarcomas, those with swollen limbs, and those with fleshy bags hanging from their shoulders... are all people who have become deformed due to the poison.
As the distance grew closer, the faces of the Gu boys became clearer and clearer, and the six hunters couldn't help but have complicated eyes.
They knew that the Gu children in Worm Valley died one after another, but new children would fill in every time.
As for the identities of these children, they are all refugees whose families were destroyed due to the war. Either their parents died, or they were separated from their families and sold here.
Those who know the horror of Worm Valley will avoid even beggars, and it is impossible for them to voluntarily become Gu children.
Among the twenty-four Gu boys, the leader was a Gu boy with a swollen face. He stepped forward and threw the package in his hand to the old Orion.
"This is the medicine you need. Take the medicine and leave quickly."
"Yes, yes."
The hunters took the package, unloaded the goods on the ground, and drove away without even daring to check whether the medicine in the package was real or fake.
"Come here to move the goods and take them to the medicine pit."
Under the command of the leader Gu boy, the twenty-three Gu boys got busy.
Among them, there is a young man with a relatively handsome appearance. His lips and nails are black, which shows that he is seriously poisoned. It is not known how long he can survive.
Like other Gu boys, he picked up a mountain deer and walked away.
Compared with the laborious appearance of other Gu boys, his steps are easy and his strength is obviously stronger than ordinary Gu boys.
Of course, this comes at a price. He needs to "plant" more poisonous poison than other poisonous children.
Under the sun, the "gu seed opening" on his right arm is particularly eye-catching. The opened flesh and blood are blue-black, and there are dozens of gu worms blocking the gap.
As if he didn't want to see this young man relaxed, the leader Gu boy spoke at this time.
"Liu Feng, the deer you want to move is the deer. Put the mountain deer on your shoulders back."
The Gu boy who leads the team is named Ma Kun. Because Liu Feng contradicted him when he first came to Worm Valley, this person has a grudge against him. When it comes to harming Liu Feng, he will not miss any opportunity.
"The cavalry asked you to go over and move the biggest one. Didn't you hear me clearly? Go quickly." A Gu boy named Qiao Fei lost no time in helping.
Liu Feng had a calm expression on her delicate face. She didn't say much and turned back as she was told.
With his physique, it was difficult to carry a deer, and he soon fell behind the other Gu boys.
On the other hand, Gu boy Qiao Fei only has a young deer on his shoulders. This is the advantage of being a bitch.
"He will have to suffer slowly in the future."
Ma Kun lowered his voice and said: "I don't have the patience to wait for the future, and I can't ask him to turn over. Keep an eye on him for me, and kill him if you have the chance."
As he spoke, Ma Kun seemingly inadvertently kicked a piece of gravel away, hitting Liu Feng's knee.
Liu Feng tilted his body, half-kneeling on the ground, and the deer, which weighed several hundred kilograms, almost crushed him down.
Ma Kun smiled sinisterly and walked away with the other Gu boys, leaving only Liu Feng who was pressed to the ground.
"I have to become a Gu Master and get rid of the control of Bug Valley before I can go find my parents and younger brother." Liu Feng's mouth was filled with blood and he swallowed down his anger.
Ma Kun is looking for an opportunity to get rid of him. Isn't he waiting for the opportunity? It's just that the other party has the status of team leader, so there are much more opportunities to attack him.
Gritting his teeth, Liu Feng mobilized the poisonous energy that had only been cultivated for more than a month in his body, gathered his strength, and stood up again.
He quickened his pace and entered the Worm Valley through the poisonous miasma.
At this time, in addition to the Gu boys who were moving the goods, there were other Gu boys busy in the valley.
Those who plant herbs, those who collect herbs, those who raise poisonous insects, and those who do chores, look at each other without saying hello.
There are Gu Masters, Gu Servants, and Gu Children in the Worm Valley. Gu Children have the lowest status and the largest number. It is common for new people to be replaced after tragic deaths. Liu Feng has long been accustomed to the indifference of other Gu Children.
Apart from the busy Gu boy, there was no mysterious Valley Master and the Valley Master's three Gu master apprentices.
The ones currently instructing the Gu boys are a few Gu servants in charge.
The status of Gu servants is higher than that of Gu boys. They are semi-finished products that failed to become Gu masters but are not dead after planting the eggs of strange Gu. Their strength is much higher than that of Gu boys.
When Liu Feng arrived near the medicine pit, the Gu boys who were carrying the goods were all standing by the medicine pit, and Ma Kun was talking to them.
"Look clearly, the mud in that corner needs to be cleaned up."
"Isn't it the Gu servant's job to clean up the medicine pit? The poisonous mist at the bottom of the pit is too heavy, and the Gu boy can't get down."
"It's so wrong, even the Gu insects don't dare to get close. It might be highly poisonous."...
Hearing the footsteps, Ma Kun immediately turned his head and looked at Liu Feng with a sinister smile.
"You're just in time, come and take a look."
Liu Feng's eyes flashed coldly, knowing that the other party probably had no good intentions.
He came to the medicine pit, threw the deer on his shoulder into the medicine pit, and then looked at the bottom of the medicine pit.
The medicine pit is ten feet in diameter and four feet deep. Through the yellow-green poisonous mist, one can vaguely see the black medicine mud at the bottom of the pit, with a large number of medicinal herbs growing on it.
Among the highly poisonous herbs, there are a large number of bones stacked up, many of which are clearly human bones, and most of which are Gu children buried among them.
If you look closely, you can barely find a large number of living things moving in the black medicinal mud. They are all Gu insects, densely packed.
The Gu boys do not dare to go down because the Gu boys are not strong enough to withstand the poisonous mist at the bottom of the pit. The longer they stay below, the greater the risk of being poisoned to death.
Ma Kun pointed to a corner of the medicine pit and said: "The herbs in that location are all dead, and the poisonous insects can't avoid them. It must be that the medicine mud that was put in recently was not prepared well and needs to be cleaned up."
"Bring the basket and medicine shovel, the three of them will go down with you."
The three unlucky Gu boys who were selected on the side were two boys and one girl, all of whom were thin and small.
Under the glare of Ma Kun and Qiao Fei, the three men cowered and took the basket and medicine shovel.
Liu Feng stood there, looking straight at Ma Kun expressionlessly.
He can tolerate small things, but now he is going to be drugged.
Moreover, the location Ma Kun pointed to was very wrong. The highly poisonous herbs were extremely durable, but now they were all dead. Even the highly poisonous Gu insects did not dare to approach there.
"Why are you still standing there? Just move quickly and you won't be killed." Qiao Fei showed his usefulness in time.
Liu Feng still didn't move, and Ma Kun looked a little embarrassed. He took out a medicine box from his arms with a sullen expression.
"Let's do this. When you come up, each of you will get a three-day supply of Qi Yang Pills. This is what Manager Liu just rewarded me with recently. How can I do this if I can't handle it?"
"Liu Feng, I know you are eager to practice, Yang Qi Pill is a good thing."
Sure enough, Liu Feng's ugly face softened slightly when he mentioned cultivation.
He misses his parents and younger brother. Nowadays, the war is in chaos and evil spirits are everywhere. He wants to find them as soon as possible.
"Give me the Yangqi Pill first."
"I believe you, go on."
Seeing Liu Feng's compromise, Ma Kun put on a smile and handed over an oil paper bag seemingly cheerfully.
After Liu Feng confirmed that it was correct, he put away the Yangqi pills, threw the medicine shovel into the basket, carried the basket on his back and came to the edge of the medicine pit with a rope ladder.
"You three want me to give you a ride? Why don't you get out."
Ma Kun's angry shouts came from behind. He didn't have a good look on these three weaklings.
The other Gu boys beside the medicine pit focused their eyes on Liu Feng's figure, feeling both jealousy and disdain.
"You really have to cultivate yourself at all costs, so I dare to do this!"
"Fortunately, my parents died when I was young. It's good that I am alone and don't have to worry about my parents as much as he does."
"His parents were probably eaten alive by mountain spirits and wild monsters a long time ago. Yunze Mansion has been plagued by monsters for the past year."...
Going down the rope ladder, Liu Feng could feel the Gu insects in his body stirring, and he felt more and more that something was wrong.
Just as he was thinking about what was wrong with the medicinal mud, the rope ladder above his head shook, and he looked up and saw two thin figures falling down.
The two Gu boys who fell to the bottom of the pit were instantly covered by a large number of Gu insects. You can imagine their fate!
"You two losers, they were poisoned and fainted just halfway up. You might as well let me down." Qiao Fei's joking voice sounded from above.
On the rope ladder, besides Liu Feng, there was another pockmarked Gu boy who was about twelve or thirteen years old, still a half-grown child.
He said in fear: "Let's speed up, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."
Liu Feng nodded, and after looking at the height from the bottom of the pit, he loosened his hands and jumped down, and the pockmarked Gu boy jumped down with him.
The moment the two of them landed, they both forced out the Gu worms in their bodies to fight against the Gu worms at the bottom of the pit. After a few light steps on the medicinal mud, they stood in the corner where the herbs were dead.
Above, all the Gu boys stood in a row, staring at the blurry figures of the two people at the bottom of the pit.
"Look, are there any signs of poisoning in those two guys?"
"I can't see clearly either. Don't worry, Cavalry. There's a lot of medicinal mud in that land, enough for them to dig out."
Ma Kun and Qiao Fei were communicating, this was a rare opportunity for them to trick Liu Feng to death.
At this time, Liu Feng and the pockmarked Gu boy in the corner at the bottom of the pit both looked a little confused.
The piece of medicinal mud they were standing on was no more than five feet away, and it looked no different from the medicinal mud in other locations, but it happened to be filled with inactive herbs.
There was floating poisonous mist above their heads. None of this poisonous mist could continue downwards and invade this five-foot-square area. The two of them could bend slightly, which relieved them of the worry of being poisoned for the time being.
"How strange." The pockmarked Gu boy looked at his body surface, and the Gu worms in his body came out on their own.
The Gu bugs in Liu Feng's body were also a little out of control. Fortunately, the poisonous energy in his body was stronger than that of the pockmarked Gu boy, otherwise it would have been difficult to suppress it.
"Don't worry about the poisonous insects, clean up the mud, and get up there as soon as possible."
"Okay, let's dig one side each."
On Liufeng's side, there is a mountain deer carcass lying on the medicine mud. It was thrown into the medicine pit a few days ago. There is no sign of decay now.
He used all his strength to throw the mountain deer five feet away, causing the Gu insects in the medicine pit to swarm forward.
"Mountain venison has been parked here for several days, and it seems to be fine."
Liu Feng muttered and took the shovel to dig. Unexpectedly, before he dug out a few shovels, there was a "bang" sound from the shovel head.
When he took a closer look, he couldn't help but let out a light sigh, causing the pockmarked Gu boy to ask: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's just a pebble."
As Liu Feng spoke, he dug out a seven-colored pebble from under the shovel head and threw it into the basket.
