With the sound of the last thread breaking, all the threads wrapped around Qu Yangze's body finally fell down.
"Junior Brother Qu." Gu Qinghuan took a step forward and knelt down and called.
But Qu Yangze still closed his eyes tightly and did not give any response.
Seeing this, Jiang Beiran stepped forward and carefully observed Qu Yangze emerging from his cocoon.
Physically, he was taller than the last time I saw him, but his torso and limbs had not changed much.
To put it simply, he is still human.
Jiang Beiran originally thought that after experiencing this "evolution", Qu Yangze would completely run in the direction of becoming a human being.
But now it seems that, at least in terms of image, he still stays within the realm of human beings.
And just when Jiang Beiran was about to use his mental power to examine Qu Yangze again, Qu Yangze suddenly took a long breath and suddenly opened his eyes.
"Um?"
When Qu Yangze opened his eyes, Jiang Beiran found that his pupils had become colorful, like a kaleidoscope.
But it only appeared for a moment before Qu Yangze's pupils turned black again.
‘As expected, it’s still somewhat out of the realm of human beings…’
Qu Yangze's face looked a little panicked when he woke up, as if he had just experienced a terrible nightmare.
Jiang Beiran wanted him to calm down for a while, but found that his breathing was getting faster and faster, and his expression became more and more difficult to look at.
Seeing Qu Yangze's facial features gradually distorting, Jiang Beiran stepped forward and whispered: "Relax."
With this sentence, he added the power of [Speech Spirit], causing Qu Yangze who was originally struggling to breathe a long sigh of relief, and his expression gradually relaxed.
And not only Qu Yangze, but also Gu Qinghuan who was very worried about Junior Brother Qu's situation also relaxed.
Seeing that Qu Yangze's condition improved, Jiang Beiran stretched out his hand and pressed it on his chest, while using his mental power to examine his whole body.
'Good guy...I'm moving in now.'
While scanning Qu Yangze's heart, Jiang Beiran found that Lao Wang had already moved in and was lying there happily, taking a sip of the fresh blood pumped out from his heart from time to time. It felt very comfortable.
'It seems Yangze's blood is more attractive to Gu insects than mine.'
Jiang Beiran relied on his own blood to be more fragrant in order to win over Lao Wang from the hands of the strong foreigner. It can be seen that this Lao Wang is very realistic. He will go to whose "food" is delicious.
.
So Jiang Beiran instantly determined that the blood in Qu Yangze's body now smells better than his.
After continuing to observe for a while, Jiang Beiran discovered that the Jiuyin corpse cricket that originally lived in Qu Yangze's heart had been driven out and now lived in the lungs.
'Tsk...it's a bit miserable.'
The Nine Yin Corpse Crab was already a king Gu before Jiang Beiran put it into Qu Yangze's body. Later, under the nourishment of Qu Yangze's Gu-nurturing body, his strength in all aspects increased significantly.
But I didn't expect that he was still no match for Lao Wang.
'This Lao Wang really has something.'
Smiling and shaking his head, Jiang Beiran continued to observe other organs.
‘Huh!?’ When sensing Qu Yangze’s stomach, Jiang Beiran discovered that the Gui Venomous Bee that originally lived in it had transformed into a King Gu.
But he clearly remembered that when he first put it into Qu Yangze's body, it was just an ordinary Gu worm.
'The body that raises Gu...is so powerful?'
After discovering that the Gui Venom Bee transformed into a King Gu, Jiang Beiran quickly sensed the other organs in Qu Yangze's body.
'Good guy...I'm so damn good guy.'
The moment he observed all of Qu Yangze's body organs, Jiang Beiran instantly understood why he suddenly "evolved".
It turns out that the twelve "cuties" he put into his body all became king Gu!
'This Gu-raising body is so fierce...'
For ordinary people, let alone thirteen, oh no, now there are fourteen King Gu. Even if it is to withstand fourteen Gu, it is absolutely impossible. It will become a mosaic in minutes.
But Qu Yangze actually used the method of "evolution" to allow fourteen Gu insects to coexist in his body.
'It's so beautiful...'
While Jiang Beiran was feeling extremely emotional, Qu Yangze finally came to his senses.
"Master...Master!?"
The moment he saw Jiang Beiran, Qu Yangze immediately stood up, saluted Jiang Beiran, and shouted: "Meet Master!"
The whole set of movements was smooth and smooth, and there was no sign of any weakness in the body.
"How do you feel?" Jiang Beiran asked.
Qu Yangze looked down at his body and was stunned for a while before replying: "Disciple... I don't know what to say."
"Whatever you feel, just say it."
"Yes." Qu Yangze thought for a moment before continuing: "Disciple feels that his physical condition is very good now, it can even be said to be better than ever before, but...just like when you saved me for the first time, Master, I
This body feels very strange, as if it is not mine."
"Well, in a sense, you have indeed been reborn. It is normal to feel this way. What about the others?"
"Others..." Qu Yangze moved his hands and feet as he spoke, then twisted his neck, and finally shook his head and said, "I don't feel anything else."
After hearing Qu Yangze's answer, Jiang Beiran was sure that the fourteen king Gu had indeed settled down, at least for the time being they would no longer cause trouble.
After confirming that Qu Yangze was fine, Jiang Beiran asked again: "What did you feel when you turned into a cocoon?"
"Cocoon?" Qu Yangze blinked twice inexplicably, "I turned into a cocoon?"
"Well, you can look around. These are all left behind when you turned into a cocoon."
After hearing this, Qu Yangze immediately looked around and saw that the cave was full of mucus and threads. In addition, there was indeed a thread-like "empty shell" where he was.
'It turns out...did I turn into a cocoon?'
Qu Yangze's only memory when he was awake was that he felt a sharp pain in his body, as if someone was trying to tear his body apart. Fortunately, Senior Brother Gu was by his side at that time and took him into a cave.
Carry out treatment.
In the end, his memory stopped at Senior Brother Gu feeding him a golden marrow pill, and then his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
"I..." Qu Yangze tried hard to remember for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, Master, I really don't remember what happened after I turned into a cocoon."
"Then tell me what changes happened to your body before you turned into a cocoon?"
Upon hearing this question, Qu Yangze immediately replied: "I feel like there are many people in my body dueling, and all the organs are twisted together."
'I see……'
After hearing this, and combined with the discovery just now, Jiang Beiran immediately understood the reason.
It is obvious that those twelve little cuties have all transformed into king Gu, and because they are dissatisfied with their current living environment, they all want to go to a better place, and the heart is undoubtedly the place with the richest "nutrition".
So these twelve little cuties launched a challenge to the Nine-Yin Corpse Crab in order to occupy their hearts.
The reason why Qu Yangze's body turned into a cocoon should have triggered some kind of self-protection mechanism. Otherwise, with thirteen king Gu fighting in his body, his body would never have been saved.
"Qing Huan, how long did his cocoon state last?"
"If I reply to senior brother, it will take a month."
Jiang Beiran nodded after hearing this, almost guessing the reason why he had not emerged from the cocoon for so long.
That is, none of the thirteen king Gu has a winner, and as long as they are still fighting, Qu Yangze will never be able to recover his physical body.
‘So it’s Lao Wang who has ended their fight now...’
As soon as Lao Wang climbed in, Qu Yangze immediately emerged from the cocoon. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no relationship between the two.
In addition, Lao Wang has indeed lived in the highest-standard "Presidential Suite" in Qu Yangze's body. It is obvious that he used his own strength to conquer the other thirteen king Gu in an instant, preventing them from coveting this precious land.
.
Without the fight, Qu Yangze naturally emerged from his cocoon.
'interesting……'
Although Jiang Beiran knew before that Qu Yangze's Gu-raising body had great potential, he still didn't expect it to be so big that fourteen king Gus coexisted in one body...
Although his current level of cultivation is only that of a Xuan Master, if a real fight breaks out...even Jiang Beiran can't imagine how strong he is now.
"Qing Huan."
"Here you are." Gu Qinghuan immediately said with his hands in hand.
"Have a competition with Yang Ze and test his strength."
Since Qu Yangze's strength cannot be measured with mental power, he can only rely on actual combat. Jiang Beiran is really curious about how strong he is now.
"yes."
After answering, Gu Qinghuan turned to Qu Yangze and cupped his hands: "Junior Brother Qu, please."
Qu Yangze was stunned for a moment, and then he held up his hands and said, "Senior brother, please be merciful."
Then the two of them each took a step back. Gu Qinghuan took out the prairie fire hammer made for him by his senior brother using the flaming heart from the Qiankun Ring, while Qu Yangze put on the Hunyuan Spirit Wrist made for him by his senior brother using wood spiritual energy.
"Yangze, don't move, let Qing Huan attack you first."
Qu Yangze was stunned after hearing this, thinking that Senior Brother Gu's cultivation level was so much higher than his own, and it was enough for him to attack Senior Brother Gu, so how could he let Senior Brother Gu attack him?
But the master's words definitely made sense, so Qu Yangze immediately nodded and said: "Yes."
Although Gu Qinghuan didn't know why his senior brother said that, he knew that it wasn't that his senior brother was looking down on him, but that there must have been some huge change in junior brother Qu.
'Senior Brother, do you want me to test the physical strength of Junior Brother Qu now...'
After understanding his senior brother's intention, Gu Qinghuan swung the prairie fire hammer in his hand, and the dawn-red fire spirit burst out with all his strength, and activated the True Yuan Tiangang Art to condense all the profound energy into his right hand.
Because his senior brother was by his side, Gu Qinghuan was not worried about any accidents.
So for the first time he took action, he was prepared to use all his strength.
"Junior brother, be careful."
After Gu Qinghuan finished speaking, all the fire energy condensed in his right hand was transferred into the prairie fire hammer, causing the already burning prairie fire hammer to burn even more intensely.
Looking at the profound energy condensed on the prairie fire hammer, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but nodded.
Gu Qinghuan indeed has a unique advantage in the technique of Zhenyuan Tiangang Jue, and now he can actually charge mysterious energy into the magic weapon, which will increase the power of the magic weapon several times.
While Jiang Beiran was admiring in his heart, Gu Qinghuan had already wielded the prairie fire hammer and came to Qu Yangze.
"Sunset!"
With a loud shout, Lu Qinghuan swung the prairie fire hammer with both hands and smashed it towards Qu Yangze.
Qu Yangze instinctively wanted to avoid it, but he heard his master say: "Don't hide, block it."
"yes!"
Qu Yangze agreed, then raised his arms to block it.
"when!!!"
The moment the prairie fire hammer hit Qu Yangze, there was a dull sound of metal collision.
In shock, Qu Yangze discovered that his arms had grown dense yellow-gray body hair. It was these body hairs that helped him withstand the blow easily.
That's right, easy.
As a cultivator, Qu Yangze could clearly feel how powerful Senior Brother Gu's attack was. When he opened his arms to resist, he also thought that his hands would be shattered.
However, what he never expected was that at the moment when the yellow-gray body hair grew out, he would deal with this heavy blow with great ease. Not to mention being numb, he didn't even feel any power coming to him. On his own shoulders, he was able to neutralize all the power of Senior Brother Gu's blow just by relying on his body hair.
"That's it."
At this time, Jiang Beiran walked between the two of them and said to Gu Qinghuan: "Yangze's current strength cannot be judged by common sense. You have already performed well enough."
"Thank you, senior brother." Gu Qinghuan put away the prairie fire hammer and saluted.
Nodding, Jiang Beiran looked at Qu Yangze and said, "Attack me with all your strength."
Although Qu Yangze did not want to do such a rebellious and unethical thing, he also knew that he could never go against his senior brother's words.
So after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Yes!"
After Qu Yangze finished speaking, he held his breath and concentrated. He wanted to say, "Master, please be careful," but felt that this was a bit disrespectful.
So after thinking for a long time, I still didn't say anything and just launched the offensive.
And just when he was about to punch, he suddenly felt that his arm was folding and compressing like a spring, and after a while, he accumulated an extremely terrifying force.
Just when he was about to tell his master about this change, he heard his master say.
"Come."
"yes!"
Qu Yangze agreed and punched out with his right fist.
‘So fast!’ Gu Qinghuan, who was standing aside, couldn’t help but exclaimed in shock.
Junior Brother Qu's punch was so fast that he could barely catch it, and it was not done with the naked eye, but with the changes in the surrounding aura.
In other words, with the naked eye, he couldn't even see clearly that Junior Brother Qu had punched.
"boom!"
The next second, this lightning-fast punch was firmly caught by Jiang Beiran.
But it wasn't over yet. The moment Qu Yangze's right fist was caught by his master, he hit him with a thunderous second punch.
Then the third punch, the fourth punch, the fifth punch...
In one breath, Qu Yangze fired a total of thirty-two punches.
"good."
After blocking the thirty-second punch, Jiang Beiran nodded towards Qu Yangze.
After releasing Qu Yangze's fist, Jiang Beiran clenched his fist slightly and finally shook his head.
"Get used to your body, it should be more than this little strength."
Qu Yangze blinked twice and nodded: "Yes!"
At the same time, I couldn't help but marvel in my heart.
