Li Mobai and company also looked at Gu Shanshui in puzzlement, unsure why he had suddenly changed his mind and was willing to take the risk to help them cross the Flower River.
"I wonder how I can help you, Master Gu?" Zhou Wen didn't agree easily. Gu Shanshui had clearly seen something from the chick.
Gu Shanshui said, "To be honest, our Gu family is also good at nurturing and taming Gu. I discovered a Mythical dimensional creature somewhere and wanted to tame it into a Gu, but because it was too powerful, I never succeeded. If Mr. Zhou is willing to lend me a hand, I'm sure you can subdue it. "
As Gu Shanshui spoke, he glanced at the chick. Clearly, the person he was really seeking help from was the chick.
"If it's within our abilities, we should help each other, but we're in a hurry to get to the Valley of No Return, I'm afraid …"
Before Zhou Wen could finish, Gu Shanshui said, "Mr. Zhou, don't worry. I'll help you head to the Valley of No Return first. It won't be too late for you to help me after we return from the Valley of No Return."
"Master Gu, I have to ask first. What kind of Mythical dimensional creature do you want to tame? What kind of abilities does it have? What do you want me to do? "Zhou Wen asked seriously.
Zhou Wen wasn't willing to break the contract, so he had to clarify things first.
"Mr. Zhou, can I have a word with you?" Gu Shanshui clearly didn't want others to know about the dimensional creature.
After Zhou Wen and Gu Shanshui went to the side, Gu Shanshui said, "The dimensional creature I want to tame is a Corpse Silkworm. It's in an extreme Yin dimensional zone. To ordinary people, it's extremely dangerous. However, Mr. Zhou, you have the phoenix divine bird, so subduing the Corpse Silkworm won't be difficult."
"I can only promise to help, but when the time comes, I can only do my best. I can't guarantee that I will succeed." After all, Zhou Wen had never seen a Corpse Silkworm before, nor did he know what its abilities were. Therefore, he was very conservative.
"That's good." Gu Shanshui was very open-minded.
After the two of them finished their discussion, they walked back and set off again. Gu Shanshui continued leading Gu Lou and Gu He.
On the way, they discovered corpses with jellyfish fungi growing on them. Gu Shanshui's expression turned solemn.
On the way, Gu Lou and Gu He would secretly size up the chick from time to time. Even Li Mobai and company took a few more glances at the chick. Clearly, they knew that Gu Shanshui's previous actions were definitely related to the chick.
The chick stood on Zhou Wen's shoulder and looked around smugly.
Zhou Wen kept using Truth Listener to observe his surroundings, hoping to find the jellyfish's parent body. However, he didn't find it. All he saw were the corpses that had been parasitized.
Suddenly, Tai Sui came out of the backpack, flapped its wings, and flew toward the forest next to it.
"Tai Sui" Li Mobai and Tai Bai looked at him. Mobai and Wen looked at him.
"It's fine. My Companion Beast has been in my backpack for too long. I want to go out for a spin," Zhou Wen said perfunctorily.
He didn't want to be perfunctory, but he didn't know what Tai Sui wanted to do, so he couldn't explain it clearly.
Zhou Wen kept using Truth Listener to observe the direction Tai Sui had flown in, but there was nothing there.
Tai Sui flew out nearly a thousand meters and dived towards the ground before burrowing into the ground and disappearing.
Zhou Wen couldn't hear where it had gone, but after a while, he saw Tai Tai Sui burrow out of the ground and quickly fly back.
However, its stomach was clearly bulging. It was unknown what it had eaten.
This only took a moment. Seeing Zhou Wen's Companion Beast return, everyone continued on their way.
Although they encountered some corpses along the way, they didn't find any jellyfish fungi on them. When Zhou Wen saw this situation, he roughly guessed that Tai Sui had burrowed underground and eaten the jellyfish fungi's parent body.
Zhou Wen felt somewhat regretful. He hadn't even seen what the parent body looked like before it was eaten by Tai Sui.
Apart from the jellyfish fungi's interference, everyone advanced much faster. Zhou Wen had also widened his horizons. Many of the strange creatures here were things he had never seen or even heard of before.
Thankfully, with Gu Shanshui and company leading the way, they avoided dimensional zones. Otherwise, if they fell into one, it was unknown how many terrifying unknown creatures they would encounter.
Zhou Wen saw a sea of flowers from afar. They had white petals and red stamens. From afar, it looked like a blood-colored white river.
"That's the Flower River," Gu Shanshui said as he pointed at the meandering flowers in the distance.
Everyone's eyes were already focused on the Flower River. Zhou Wen was also using Truth Listener to search the Flower River, but apart from the flowers, there were no living creatures.
The locals called these flowers the Flower of Life. Wherever the Flower of Life appeared, there was no room for other creatures to survive. Even weeds wouldn't grow there.
In the past, it was very safe for humans to enter the Flower River. This was because there were no other creatures in the Flower River, much less dimensional creatures. Therefore, the Flower River became an important path between nearby cities.
However, ever since half a month ago, no one who entered the Flower River had come out alive. All of them had disappeared, and this path was severed.
Zhou Wen carefully sized up the Flowers of Life. The flowers weren't big and looked somewhat similar to peach blossoms. They were beautiful.
"These Flowers of Life don't look like dimensional creatures," Li Mobai said as he sized up the distant Flowers of Life.
Gu Shanshui nodded and said, "The Flowers of Life existed before the dimensional storms. They were poisonous flowers. After the dimensional storms, the poisonous flowers mutated. Furthermore, their numbers increased, forming a Flower River. However, for some reason, the mutated Flowers of Life didn't have any poison. Many people have experimented with the Flowers of Life. They no longer contain any poison. Even if they were eaten, it wouldn't cause any harm to humans. However, things might be different now. Everyone, please wait a moment. I need to do some experiments first. "
Zhou Wen and company stopped and waited for Gu Shanshui's experiment. As no one knew what the danger in the Flower River was, they could only analyze it from the Flowers of Life itself.
Unlike the experiment Zhou Wen had imagined, Gu Shanshui opened a bamboo tube and released a worm that looked like a silkworm. It was fair and plump. The worm crawled towards the Flower River and first ate the leaves and roots of the Flowers of Life before eating the flowers. It didn't seem to be a problem.
"This is a white silkworm. It's very sensitive to poison. If it absorbs poison, its body will show different colors," Gu Shanshui explained.
"Now that the white silkworm hasn't changed color, does it mean that the Flowers of Life still aren't poisonous?" Butterfly asked curiously.
Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly saw the white silkworm's body straighten up and fall from the flower. It died stiffly, but its body was still white, and there was no change.
