"Sure." Zhou Wen nodded in agreement. If he couldn't kill this Guardian, there was no harm in letting others give it a try.
However, Zhou Wen didn't immediately take action. He had a nagging feeling that the calabash was a hidden danger.
Now that the chick was suppressing it, the calabash didn't dare act rashly. However, it would be troublesome if it released the Gu inside when fighting the Guardian.
"Wait a moment. I'll think of a way to pluck this calabash," Zhou Wen said to Li Mobai and company.
Butterfly joked, "Just drip some blood on the cocoon. The calabash isn't a problem. There's no need to go through so much trouble, right? Are you afraid that you won't be recognized by the Guardian? "
Zhou Wen didn't answer her as he continued studying the calabash in front of him.
This calabash was indeed a good item. It could even control Mythical Gu. Furthermore, it could make them kill each other and evolve by devouring each other.
This was actually very similar to the phone's Companion Beast fusion function. However, it was a more primitive and crude version. It wasn't as modern as the phone's fusion function.
Zhou Wen thought to himself, If I can get this calabash back, it will be explainable if I take out some strange fusion pets in the future. But how can I get this calabash back? Is this thing considered a dimensional creature? If I slash the calabash off, will it drop a Companion Egg?
The chick pecked and clawed at the calabash, but the effects weren't good. Even its golden flames didn't have much effect on the calabash.
Zhou Wen slashed a few times with the Golden Overlord Sword. Although he could split the calabash, the space inside the calabash seemed to have the characteristic of spatial extension. When the sword beam rushed in, it gradually dissipated. It didn't cause too much damage. Furthermore, the calabash could rapidly recover.
Since I can't slash the calabash, I'll remove its roots. Zhou Wen glanced at the roots of the calabash vine and planned on attacking from there.
The Golden Overlord Sword slashed down with an indomitable sword beam. Before the sword beam could slash at the roots of the calabash vine, the calabash suddenly spat out more than ten Gu.
Gu of all shapes and sizes rushed at Zhou Wen. Some were as small as sesame seeds, while others were as big as ferocious beasts. Furthermore, their abilities were different.
Everyone was shocked. They never expected there to be so many Gu in the calabash. Gu Shanshui and Li Mobai reflexively prepared to fight.
A bird's cry sounded as the chick craned its neck and let out a long cry. The Gu that were charging at Zhou Wen immediately went limp from fright and fell from the sky as though they were paralyzed.
Only the few Mythical Gu charged at Zhou Wen. However, from the trembling of their bodies, it was clear that they were extremely afraid. It was only because they were controlled by the calabash that they had no choice but to charge over.
When the little bird saw that they still dared to rush over, it immediately became furious. It flapped its wings and leaped up, rushing over to peck at those Gu insects.
The chick's strength wasn't as strong as the Mythical Gu, but for some reason, the Mythical Gu didn't dare resist. They were pecked by the chick until they bled profusely. A small Mythical Gu was swallowed by the chick.
The chick wasn't afraid of the Gu parasitizing in its body at all. Instantly, it looked mighty as though an emperor was dealing with a group of eunuchs. The eunuchs didn't dare fight back.
It's no wonder Worm Dugu said that phoenixes are the nemesis of Gu. After Gu Shanshui saw the chick, he treated it like a god. This phoenix's restraints on Gu are just too strong. Zhou Wen originally imagined that there would be a fierce battle, but from the looks of it, there was no need for him to do anything. The chick could finish off all the Gu by itself.
Li Mobai looked at the mighty chick and seemed to be in thought. It looked like he had guessed the chick's origins.
It's no wonder Zhou Wen dared to take the risk to come to the South District. So he has such a divine item on him. Li Mobai was enlightened. He knew that it wasn't because he had moved Zhou Wen, but because Zhou Wen had the confidence to protect his life, which was why he had followed him to the Valley of No Return.
The chick unleashed its might. In a short while, it swallowed more than ten Gu. Its body clearly swelled up as its stomach swelled.
Zhou Wen suddenly recalled that the antelope had brought the chick up Mount Laojun's Golden Peak. After returning, the chick was as fat as a ball.
Back then, Zhou Wen was puzzled as to why the chick had gained so much weight. Now that he thought about it, the chick must have obtained some benefits from Mount Laojun's Golden Peak.
It's no wonder I felt that the chick seemed to have grown a lot after that. So it wasn't because of time, but because it swallowed some benefits. Zhou Wen now understood why the phoenix had given him the chick back then.
This thing had eaten several Mythical Gu and nearly ten Epic Gu, but it was only as fat as a ball. It didn't immediately grow up.
If he wanted to raise it to adulthood, he didn't know how many resources he would have to expend. That phoenix probably couldn't afford to raise so many baby phoenixes, so it wanted to help it choose a good family to eat and stay for free. For some reason, it chose him.
After losing all the Gu, the calabash trembled. However, it was only a calabash after all. It couldn't escape like animal-type dimensional creatures.
Zhou Wen didn't stand on ceremony as he drew his sword and slashed. With a few strikes, he severed the roots of the calabash vine.
The moment the calabash's roots were severed, the calabash vine immediately withered. The bluish-gray leaves also shrank and fell. The color of the calabash gradually turned light gray before finally turning grayish-white.
Zhou Wen slashed at the calabash vine that had also turned grayish-white. The calabash vine turned to dust, leaving only the calabash intact.
Zhou Wen extended his hand and sucked the calabash into his hand. He squeezed it hard and realized that the calabash was still as hard as before. It didn't turn to powder like the vines and leaves.
Although the calabash was still there, there was no vitality on it. Zhou Wen didn't know if the calabash could still be used, so he put it away first.
The chick was so full that it staggered as it walked. It looked like it would fall to the ground and roll away at any moment.
"Retreat a little. I'm going to take action," Zhou Wen said to Li Mobai and company.
The Guardians were generally very strong. Even if Zhou Wen could kill the Guardian inside, there would definitely be a huge battle. In order not to implicate them, he got them to retreat a little in advance to prevent them from escaping in time.
"It's just a drop of blood. There's no need to go through so much trouble, right?" Butterfly said.
"Let's go." Li Mobai seemed to notice something as he instructed Butterfly and Mute to retreat with him.
Although Gu Shanshui didn't know why Zhou Wen wanted them to retreat, he still retreated with Gu Lou and Gu He.
