After getting the Strange Soul Grass, Jiang Beiran returned to Fei Mansion and refined the Strange Soul Grass into elixirs in the elixir room.
It was now three o'clock in the morning, and Gu Liangqian, who stayed to teach Lu Bogui, had already gone back.
"Master Shi."
When Shi Fenglan, who was practicing painting in the courtyard, heard Xiao Beiran calling her, she immediately turned around and said, "Xiao Beiran, you can figure it out."
In the afternoon, when Shi Fenglan saw Xiao Beiran suddenly coming back, she thought there would be something delicious to eat in the evening. Instead, she saw him go into the alchemy room and didn't come out until late at night.
"Activate Feifu and go to the holding room we visited last time."
After hearing this, Shi Fenglan immediately said "Okay" and then started flying towards the place where Yun Ruo was imprisoned.
The person guarding the detention room was still Yin Lingyang. After Jiang Beiran got down from Fei Mansion and greeted him, he asked Shi Fenglan to continue to control Fei Mansion and enter inside.
Opening the deepest door, Jiang Beiran saw Yun Ruo, who was still bound by Wu Hua Da.
The only difference from before was that he had a lot of new wounds on his body, and the vitality exuding from his body was frighteningly weak.
He looked like a dying man.
'It seems that Gu Liangqian sent many people to interrogate him.'
As the most likely breakthrough point for the miasma, Gu Liangqian would certainly not let Yun Ruo go, so even if Jiang Beiran could not get any information from him, he did not give up hope. In order to torture Yun Ruo to the point where he was no longer human,
It can be said that they do everything they can.
However, Jiang Beiran didn't care about this. In his eyes, Yun Ruo was already a puppet, a puppet of a Gu insect.
He had lost his mind the moment he was caught.
So even if you use the most cruel methods to torture him, he won't feel any pain.
After calling Qu Yangze down to Fei Mansion, Jiang Beiran brought him to Yun Ruo again.
Qu Yangze naturally knew the man in front of him. He tried his best last time and couldn't find anything suspicious about him. He didn't help his master in any way.
"Master, what do you need me to do this time?" After glancing at Yun Ruo, Qu Yangze turned towards Jiang Beiran and said, cupping his hands.
"Stand still."
'Um?'
Although Qu Yangze felt strange, he did not raise any questions and just stood there obediently, motionless.
Taking out a flute from the Qiankun Ring, Jiang Beiran mobilized his mental power and began to examine Qu Yangze's body.
As usual, Qu Yangze's body was still extremely "busy". Lao Wang and the other twelve king Gu were doing their best to serve the emperor Gu, sending all the best nutrients into the emperor Gu's body.
However, the Emperor Gu did not become fatter and fatter due to "excess nutrition". On the contrary, it was smaller than when he first saw it, but its color was much brighter.
It can be said that it perfectly fits the saying that the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are.
"Yangze, it may hurt a little later, please bear with it."
Although Qu Yangze was a little confused after hearing this, he immediately nodded and said: "Yes, Master!"
Using his mental power to lock the position of the Emperor Gu, Jiang Beiran picked up the flute in his hand and started playing.
The moment he heard the sound of the flute, Qu Yangze fell in. He felt as if he was in a state of ecstasy. His soul seemed to be in a sea of flowers. Everything he saw was so beautiful.
But this state of mind only lasted for a moment, and Qu Yangze was brought back to reality by a sharp pain in his chest.
"Well……"
Qu Yangze covered his chest and groaned, feeling as if something was about to come out of his body and was struggling to crawl out.
This feeling of being stripped away made him feel scared, but because the master had just reminded him, he could suppress this fear because he knew that the master would never harm him.
After suffering for about a cup of tea, Qu Yangze was already sweating profusely, and his limbs and body were constantly twisting and shaking in pain. If he hadn't suppressed his instinct with all his strength, his defense mechanism would have been fully activated.
"cough!"
At this time, Qu Yangze felt something foreign coming to his throat. Before he had time to identify what it was, he started coughing even more violently.
"Cough! Cough! Cough cough cough! Cough! Vomit!"
Finally, with a burst of retching, a palm-sized colorful, oh no, it should be said to be a colorful Gu insect flew out, looking as beautiful as a fantasy creature.
Seeing the Emperor Gu fly out of Qu Yangze's body, Jiang Beiran stopped playing and slowly put down the flute in his hand.
'As expected of a body that cultivates Gu, this Emperor Gu has actually evolved so many times.'
After harvesting a large number of [Poison] skill points, Jiang Beiran's understanding of Poison has also greatly increased.
I finally understood what the Emperor Gu was.
If we use ants as an analogy, the ordinary Gu is the worker ant, the King Gu is the soldier ant, and the Emperor Gu is the queen ant.
It is responsible for the reproduction of offspring, and the higher the level of the Emperor Gu, the better the genes of the offspring it will produce.
So when they saw the Emperor Gu, the instincts of Lao Wang and the twelve King Gu were instantly awakened, and they scrambled to serve the Emperor Gu.
In addition, although there are no ordinary Gu insects to search for food and nutrients for the Emperor Gu, due to the power of Qu Yangze's Gu-nurturing body, the Gu kings directly took on the work of ordinary Gu insects and absorbed a large amount of food from Qu Yangze's body.
All nutrients are transferred to the Emperor Gu.
This is why the Emperor Gu metamorphoses and evolves so quickly.
Yes, Emperor Gu also has grades. The lowest grade Emperor Gu cannot breed good offspring and will be quickly eliminated.
Because the Gu clan is not that short of Emperor Gu, they only lack high-grade Emperor Gu.
Therefore, there is no need to spend a lot of effort to cultivate a low-grade Emperor Gu. In Jiang Beiran's previous analysis, this is also the reason why Zhu Shangzhen was able to bring back an Emperor Gu.
If it is an extremely high-grade Emperor Gu, it is impossible for Zhu Shangzhen to come into contact with it, and only in this way can the eliminated Emperor Gu be "picked up" by him.
However, although this imperial Gu is of little value to the Gu clan, in Xuanlong Continent it is a treasure among treasures.
As the Gu tribe was driven away at that time, dangerous species such as the Emperor Gu were naturally driven away to extinction, almost to the point where there was almost no one left.
The Emperor Gu cannot be cultivated by cultivating Gu. This is why the Xuanlong Continent has never had a problem with the proliferation of Gu insects for so long.
Compared with the emperor Gu directly giving birth to pups, the efficiency of raising the Gu can be said to be extremely low, which is really time-consuming and expensive.
Stretching out his index finger, Jiang Beiran used his mental power to send a signal and let the Emperor Gu fly to his finger, 'It is indeed in good condition.'
Although Jiang Beiran had an additional level of Emperor Gu in his knowledge base, it was difficult for Jiang Beiran to make a judgment after only seeing one physical object.
But no matter what grade this imperial Gu was, Jiang Beiran had to use it. After all, he had no other choice.
After getting ready, Jiang Beiran took out the Tianluo Pill made from the Strange Soul Grass and swallowed it in his mouth.
As soon as Tianluo Dan entered his body, Jiang Beiran's whole body immediately exuded a strange fragrance, and the fragrance quickly became rich.
Emperor Gu obviously liked this scent very much. After confirming that the scent came from Jiang Beiran's body, it flew into his mouth with a "swish".
Lured by the scent, the Emperor Gu immediately began to suck Jiang Beiran's essence and blood.
But Jiang Beiran's essence and blood were sucked by him in vain. After the emperor Gu sucked three mouthfuls of essence and blood, Jiang Beiran completely gained control of it.
This is the physique that Jiang Beiran has already refined for cultivating Gu. He also used this trick to easily make Lao Wang rebel.
After controlling the Emperor Gu, Jiang Beiran used his mental power to guide it towards his brain. During this process, Jiang Beiran felt nothing but numbness.
When the Emperor Gu completely entered his brain, Jiang Beiran closed his eyes and began to adapt to it.
After about half a stick of incense, a strong sense of compatibility arose in Jiang Beiran's heart, and he could clearly feel that his perception ability had greatly improved in an instant.
When he opened his eyes again, Jiang Beiran's pupils had changed, and the whites around his eyes had turned black.
'Is this the world in the eyes of the Gu tribe...'
Looking at the dots and lines scattered around, Jiang Beiran now looked very abstract, and his original cognition was almost completely shattered.
But among these dots and lines, he instantly found what he was looking for.
'It's really a poison...'
Although he had exhausted all kinds of investigation methods before and found nothing strange about Yun Ruo, Jiang Beiran still firmly believed that he was controlled by the Gu. Now it seems that his guess was absolutely correct.
After seeing clearly the Gu insect parasitizing Yun Ruo, Jiang Beiran blinked, and everything around him changed back to its original appearance, including, of course, his pupils.
After regaining his normal vision, Jiang Beiran used his mental power to look at the position he had just locked on again.
This time, because of the blessing of the Emperor Gu, Jiang Beiran could easily sense its location.
'No wonder I couldn't find him at all before. No one else has this ability to disguise himself.'
If there was no special signal sent by the emperor Gu to help Jiang Beiran identify it, the Gu he was targeting now was part of Yun Ruo's brain, and there was no difference at all.
The ability to disguise is so strong that it can be said that there are no flaws.
But with the blessing of the special signal sent by the Emperor Gu, the Gu worm hidden in Yunruo's brain finally appeared. He was about the same size as Lao Wang, so he should also be a King Gu.
After locking this king Gu, the remaining work is to prevent it from escaping.
Taking out the talisman and talisman from the Qiankun Ring, Jiang Beiran quickly set up three large formations around Yun Ruo, and at the same time attached six Brahma Talisman to Yun Ruo.
After making all preparations, Jiang Beiran blinked again and re-entered the state of coordination and resonance with the Emperor Gu.
With the blessing of the King Gu, Jiang Beiran's mental power can affect the King Gu in Yun Ruo's brain.
So after using his mental power to lock the King Gu in Yun Ruo's head, he immediately used the King Gu's special signal to suppress it.
"stand up."
After hearing Jiang Beiran's request, Yun Ruo, who had no longer reacted to anything outside, suddenly stood up suddenly, but his eyes were still so empty, as if his soul had already left his body.
But these are not important. As long as this step is completed, Jiang Beiran's goal has been achieved.
"Tell me, what is the mission assigned to you by the Gu clan."
"Destroy towns, create disaster, spread despair."
Finally, Yun Ruo, who had not spoken since being arrested, finally opened her mouth and answered the questions raised by Jiang Beiran honestly.
But just when Jiang Beiran looked happy, Yun Ruo's body suddenly trembled, and then twitched all over, "Let...let me...I...I..."
In the violent convulsions, Yun Ruo couldn't utter a complete sentence at all, as if he was having a convulsion.
‘Sure enough, insurance is set up.’
Jiang Beiran didn't need to guess why Yunruo became like this. The king Gu must have realized something was wrong, so it planned to kill the host. Jiang Beiran would also do this.
Just like when he planted the poison on Su Xiuyu before, he also issued a similar order.
As long as the host triggers certain special conditions, the Gu will instantly kill the host and replace it.
The condition that triggers this Gu insect in Yun Ruo is probably to kill the host directly once it is discovered.
Anticipating this, Jiang Beiran did not relax his control at all when he asked it questions.
This caused the king Gu in Yun Ruo's body to be unable to move for a while, unable to directly kill the host.
Seeing that the King Gu in Yunruo's body was still struggling fiercely, Jiang Beiran concentrated his attention again and began to mobilize more power belonging to the King Gu.
The next second, several tentacles sprouted from Jiang Beiran's forehead. At the same time, the hair on his body stood up and became thicker and thicker.
"go on."
After strengthening the control, Jiang Beiran said again.
"I...my mission...is to kill enough humans so that they, they..."
After being controlled by Jiang Beiran for a moment, Yun Ruo's body trembled again. No, this time it couldn't be said to be trembling, but twisted like a twist. The scene was very strange.
'It's hard to control...'
Jiang Beiran's original plan was to rely on the power of the King Gu to completely control the King Gu, and then slowly ask himself everything he wanted to know.
But now it seems that this king Gu's willpower is far beyond his imagination. Even if it is completely suppressed, it still tries its best to complete the task assigned by its master.
Seeing that Yun Ruo's body was almost collapsing, Jiang Beiran came up with the idea of taking out the Gu insects from Yun Ruo's brain first.
But the idea was soon rejected by Jiang Beiran himself.
Because after completely controlling this king Gu, Jiang Beiran discovered that it was not a disguise, but had truly become a part of Yun Ruo's brain. Once it was taken out, Yun Ruo would die quickly.
At that point, I really can’t ask anything.
In desperation, Jiang Beiran had no choice but to directly mobilize all the power of the Emperor Gu to once again suppress the King Gu who wanted to resist.
Because of biological instinct, it is still difficult for the King Gu to resist the orders issued by the Emperor Gu.
So after Jiang Beiran mobilized all the power of the King Gu, he finally temporarily suppressed the King Gu, which was ready to die with its host at any time.
But Jiang Beiran knew that such suppression would not last long, so he had to pick important questions to ask.
