When he saw the word "Emperor Gu" in the system options for the first time, Jiang Beiran originally thought it was a powerful existence above King Gu, but judging from the estrus response of Lao Wang and the others, they were so weak that they even had such poor survivability.
This emperor should be the emperor of the mother emperor.
Therefore, it should be essentially different from other Gu, and it will definitely bring completely different changes to the host.
In order to prevent Qu Yangze from having too big a reaction after swallowing the Emperor Gu, Jiang Beiran took him to a relatively empty place in the lair after asking, and then sent the Emperor Gu into Qu Yangze's body while a crowd of people watched.
"Master, it..."
After feeling the Emperor Gu enter his body, Qu Yangze was about to say something when he felt a sudden sharp pain in his chest.
"Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
"Dong dong dong dong dong!"
Feeling the wildly accelerating heartbeat, Qu Yangze was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak, so he could only look at his master for help.
In just one second, his body spurted out countless golden threads.
'It seems that the destructive power of the Emperor Gu is too underestimated.'
Realizing that Qu Yangze was about to pupate, Jiang Beiran immediately used his mental power to examine the king Gu in his body.
Because he knew that forcibly suppressing those king Gu in this situation would be counterproductive, because this is their biological instinct, and they can only be sparse but not blocked, otherwise it will accumulate into a bigger problem.
After the inspection, Jiang Beiran looked at Qu Yangze who was entangled with golden threads and said, "Don't worry, I will guard you here. Just have a good sleep."
After hearing the master's comforting words, Qu Yangze, who was still a little scared, suddenly felt relieved.
While relaxing, Qu Yangze felt that his consciousness was slowly blurring, and he fell asleep completely after a while.
'What kind of existence is this Mr. Qu... exactly?'
Seeing that Qu Yangze was still spraying out golden threads one by one and sticking to the surrounding cave walls, Huo Hongfei increasingly doubted whether he was from another race disguised as a human being, otherwise it would not make sense at all.
The residents were also shocked. As a contemporary elite disciple of the Supreme Sect, he had seen all kinds of strange practitioners and considered himself to be knowledgeable.
But the senior brother in front of me seems to have broken away from cultivation... no, he has broken away from the category of human beings.
Seeing Qu Yangze being gradually wrapped into a giant golden cocoon, Jiang Bei then sat down cross-legged and took out the Yao Qin [Duyou] from the Qiankun Ring.
When he used his mental power to examine Qu Yangze's body just now, Jiang Beiran confirmed that Lao Wang indeed had the strength to suppress the other twelve king Gus, but after all, it was a battle between thirteen king Gus. If Qu Yangze was not allowed to form a cocoon, his body would definitely be damaged.
It will be riddled with holes.
So compared to the last time I made a cocoon, it was actually much safer this time.
Because the strength of the twelve King Gus was very average the last time they formed a cocoon, so fighting to find the most powerful one would be more likely to become a life-and-death battle, and it would also take a very long time.
And this time, because of Lao Wang’s presence, I believe it won’t take too long.
However, just in case, Jiang Beiran decided to stay with Qu Yangze here until the day he emerged from the cocoon.
…
Five days passed quickly, but the huge golden cocoon formed by Qu Yangze remained unchanged, proving that the war inside Qu Yangze's body was still not over.
'You are really persistent...'
Jiang Beiran couldn't help but sigh after checking the situation inside the silkworm cocoon with his mental strength every day.
Lao Wang is indeed very strong, so strong that even the other twelve Wang Gu can't defeat him, but the other twelve Wang Gu are extremely tenacious, and they refuse to surrender even if half of their bodies are lost.
Instead, he waited until he recovered and continued to challenge Lao Wang.
Highlight a fight to the death.
‘In order to win the right to mate, I really worked too hard...’
In addition, under the nourishment of Qu Yangze's Gu-nurturing body, the Emperor Gu has slowly regained its vitality. Perhaps when it truly wakes up, this protracted war will come to an end.
"Master's house."
Just when Jiang Beiran was about to take out [Duyou] and play for a while, Xia Lingdang suddenly walked in from outside the cave and saluted him.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Beiran turned his head and asked.
"That Brother Zhu wants to see you."
Nodding, Jiang Beiran pulled on his hood and stood up and walked out of the cave.
"Greetings, senior." As soon as he saw the man in black robe coming out, Zhu Shangzhen immediately stepped forward and saluted.
"What do you want from me?" Jiang Beiran asked.
After hearing this, Zhu Shangzhen took a step forward and continued to bow and salute: "Last time, the junior was stupid and failed to understand the meaning of the senior. This time I am here to apologize."
"No need to, I don't mean to blame you."
"No, the junior is indeed very wrong. It is extremely foolish to try to seek help from the senior by begging for mercy."
Seeing Zhu Shangzhen's sincere look, Jiang Beiran could even imagine how he had been unable to sleep over the past three days.
But at last I am not a complete social idiot, I have figured out what I did not do right.
"So what are you going to say this time?"
After hearing this, Zhu Shangzhen knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and clasped his fist towards Jiang Beiran and said: "Junior is willing to join the sect of the senior and do his best for the senior!"
Just as Jiang Beiran thought, Zhu Shangzhen was indeed having a hard time these days.
This was the first time that he told others all the secrets he had hidden for so long. Although he felt comfortable when he told them, he felt a little scared after he said them.
After all, he knew nothing about the black-robed senior at all. Although he didn't show any ill will toward him now, what about the future?
When he thought of this, Zhu Shangzhen felt extremely insecure and even felt cold all over.
After all, being able to keep a secret for decades is enough to show that he is really afraid that others will know his specialness.
When something that has been hidden for so long is suddenly found, panic is inevitable.
In this way, Zhu Shangzhen thought day and night, wondering what he could do to survive this greatest disaster for him.
Finally, the idea of "becoming a disciple" suddenly popped up in his mind.
Zhu Shangzhen never became a disciple because he was worried that his secret would be exposed. In fact, after so many years as a casual cultivator, every time he saw those disciples of major sects readily taking out magic weapons that he coveted, he didn't want to find a master as a backer.
But he didn't dare.
But now his secret has been discovered, and the other party is obviously a big shot.
Under such an opportunity, his idea that had been sealed for many years emerged.
Originally, apprenticeship was a risky thing for him, but now it was reversed. What he thought was that if he could become the apprentice of the black-robed senior, then the other party might not harm him.
In addition, he also suddenly understood the meaning of the black-robed senior's words, "What next?"
If he doesn't even show his loyalty, why should he let others sell favors to help him? This idea is simply too naive.
So after realizing it again and again, Zhu Shangzhen finally made this decision that had many benefits.
"Is this the answer you came up with?" Jiang Beiran chuckled after hearing this, "I don't lack disciples, let alone subordinates who are willing to work hard for me. You'd better go back and think about it carefully."
After Jiang Beiran said that, he turned around and returned to the cave.
'I...was rejected?'
Zhu Shangzhen couldn't come to his senses for a long time, let alone accept this fact.
In his understanding, the black-robed senior's words "and then" were asking him to show his loyalty, and what better way to show his loyalty than to become a disciple?
But he seemed to have completely misunderstood it. Not only did he imagine the scene where the black-robed senior smiled and said, "Boys can be taught," it didn't happen, but even...
The black-robed senior seemed to have no intention of accepting him as his disciple.
This made Zhu Shangzhen feel ashamed and helpless, so he presented it to his door as if he were offering a treasure, but in the end, others looked down upon him at all...
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Shangzhen suddenly realized it again.
'I think too highly of myself!'
Subconsciously, Zhu Shangzhen actually always thought that he was very good, even a genius that could only be seen in a century.
Possessing top-notch unique talents, and without relying on his family or sect, he was promoted to Xuanzong before the age of thirty just by relying on his work as a casual cultivator.
No matter where this talent is placed, it can be regarded as a genius.
It was this self-confidence that made him feel that whoever accepted him as his apprentice would make a lot of money, and make a lot of money.
But he never thought that this was just wishful thinking. He was a genius, but this was Zeng Guo! There were so many geniuses.
As a top powerhouse, the black-robed senior probably met countless geniuses like him, and those geniuses must have racked their brains to come up with various ways to become his disciple.
However, I feel that as long as I go to become a disciple, the black-robed senior will definitely accept him...
'Childish! How childish!'
Zhu Shang wanted to understand and left the cave entrance as if he was running away. It was so shameful, so shameful!
…
In the cave, Jiang Beiran sat cross-legged on the ground again, picked up "Duyou" and started playing.
In fact, from the moment the system prompted a prompt for Zhu Shangzhen, Jiang Beiran knew that he would definitely be useful to him in the future.
Under such circumstances, Jiang Beiran did have the intention of accepting him as his younger brother.
But taking on a younger brother is like trying to be friends, whoever takes the initiative will lose.
Zhu Shangzhen is still in a state of feeling that he is a treasure, with the attitude that I am here to be your little brother to give you face.
What is this called? This is called a bad attitude.
What Jiang Beiran likes most is helping others correct their attitudes.
You should be willing to help others, as you should.
'You must be doubting your life now, right?'
Thinking of Zhu Shangzhen's completely confused look just now, Jiang Beiran smiled knowingly and already listed the next training in his mind... Oh no, help plan.
At night, Jiang Beiran, who suddenly became very interested in cooking, cooked a table of dishes and invited everyone to come and eat together.
"Master, Brother Zhu said that he is too embarrassed to see you now, so you should give him some time."
This was within Jiang Beiran's expectation, so he nodded and asked Xia Lingdang to sit down and eat first.
Halfway through eating, Jiang Beiran suddenly noticed that several strange beasts were approaching the door, most likely attracted by the smell of the food.
Listening to the special swallowing sounds one after another, Jiang Beiran waved and said: "Come here if you want to eat."
The steel-backed cunning man was the first to resist the temptation, stepped on the ground with all four limbs, and ran happily towards Jiang Beiran.
"There's a big pot of soup over there, you can try it." Jiang Beiran pointed to a short distance away and said.
The steel-backed cunning man patted his chest happily, ran over, picked up the pot, and poured it into his mouth.
"Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu!!"
The steel-backed cunning man, who had finished the entire pot of soup in one go, beat his chest excitedly, showing great excitement. This was the first time he had eaten human food, and the taste was far beyond his expectation.
Seeing the steel-backed cunning man eating so happily, the other beasts couldn't bear it any longer and walked towards Jiang Beiran.
Seeing this, Jiang Beiran picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then stood up and said, "Wait a moment, I'll make you something delicious."
Because we have encountered this situation many times, Jiangbei Ran Qiankun Ring always has super large kitchen utensils, so cooking is not too troublesome, and pots and pots of delicious soups and vegetables are quickly cooked.
"Eat." Jiang Beiran said to the strange beasts who were already eager to see them.
The steel-backed cunning man couldn't wait for a long time, so he pounced directly on it. Seeing this, the other beasts no longer held back and started fighting with him.
After a while, several large pots of food were wiped out, but Jiang Beiran immediately refilled them.
"Can I have a taste too?" At this moment, An Mingqiongqi suddenly walked up to Jiang Beiran and said.
When the other beasts who were immersed in the delicious food saw the king coming, they quickly put down the pots in their hands and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty."
It's just that the image is really embarrassing.
"Keep eating your food." An Mingqiongqi shouted.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When the beasts started gobbling up the food again, Jiang Beiran, who was chopping vegetables, looked at An Mingqiongqi and said, "The new pot will be ready soon, just wait."
An Mingqiongqi couldn't help but smile after hearing this: "I really never thought that we would have the day to eat human food, thank you."
"How are you thinking about leaving the barrier?"
Hearing Jiang Beiran's question, An Mingqiongqi sighed, "I still haven't thought about it."
"Why don't you first tell me why you want to go out."
"The spiritual energy in this barrier is already too thin, and you will never become stronger if you stay here."
"Since you still have the heart to become stronger, why are you hesitating?"
"I don't know what the outside world has become, and I don't know if there is still a place for us." After An Mingqiongqi finished speaking, he suddenly showed a look of recollection: "In the past, the boss would protect us and let us live freely.
place, but now..."
Listening to An Mingqiongqi's long sigh, Jiang Beiran poured the chopped vegetables into the pot, stirred them clockwise a few times and then continued: "You want not to take risks, but you also want to become stronger.
?”
Hearing that the humans in front of him were mocking him, An Mingqiongqi was a little angry, but in the end he didn't have an attack.
"You are a human being, you have no idea how bad our living environment is!"
"Then can you make the environment better by hiding here and complaining?" After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he put the lid on the pot and looked directly at An Mingqiongqi and said: "Could it be that the land where you could live freely before fell from the sky?
