At the foot of the mountain, Zhou Wen and company heard cracking sounds coming from the volcanic crater.
When Gu Shanshui and company heard the sound, they slowly retreated from the volcanic crater. As they retreated, they poured the Corpse Oil on the ground, forming a thin line.
Soon, Gu Shanshui and company retreated and hid behind the rocks with Zhou Wen and company.
Soon, there was a commotion from the volcanic crater. A bug crawled out.
Isn't this a Horned Beetle? Zhou Wen sized up the bug from afar and saw that it looked like a Horned Beetle. It was dressed in black armor and had a forked horn at the front of its head.
The bug crawled out bit by bit, crawled along the corpse oil, and licked all the corpse oil on the ground clean.
Seeing the bug crawl down bit by bit, Gu Shanshui's expression turned solemn. Gu Lou and Gu He also looked very nervous.
Gu Shanshui looked at Zhou Wen, who nodded slightly. Gu Shanshui took out a metal container. It looked like a furnace, but it also looked a little like a cauldron. It was unknown what it was.
While the Corpse Bug was still licking the Corpse Oil, Gu Shanshui placed the metal container in a crack in the rock and poured dozens of bottles of Corpse Oil in, almost filling the metal container.
The smell emitted by the large amount of Corpse Oil immediately attracted the Corpse Bug's attention. It spread its transparent wings and flew towards the metal container.
It landed on the edge of the metal container and extended its head to suck the Corpse Oil inside.
The container was a little deep. After the Corpse Bug sucked half of it, it couldn't reach the Corpse Oil below. All it could do was crawl into the container.
"Now." Gu Shanshui immediately gestured for Zhou Wen to take action as he ran towards the metal container.
Zhou Wen got the chick to fly over and land at the edge of the container.
When the Corpse Bug saw the chick, it wasn't as afraid as ordinary Gu. It immediately bared its fangs and brandished its claws to confront the chick. However, it could be seen that it was somewhat afraid of the chick. It didn't immediately attack and rush out.
While it was hesitating, Gu Shanshui had already rushed to the metal container. He held the lid in one hand and sprinkled some unknown powder into the container with the other. Then, with a smack, he covered the container.
Gu Shanshui pressed down on the metal container with one hand and wrapped a red rope around it with the other, hoping to tie it up.
The metal container suddenly shook violently. Zhou Wen summoned Tyrant Behemoth and got it to help Gu Shanshui hold down the lid.
With the help of Tyrant Behemoth's strength, the metal container immediately stopped shaking. However, there were continuous clanging sounds coming from inside.
Gu Shanshui didn't care. All he did was wrap a rope around the metal container and wrap the red rope around it.
According to Gu Shanshui's plan, he had already trapped the Corpse Bug. All he needed to do was bring it back and slowly domesticate it.
However, to his surprise, cracking sounds came from the metal container. Gu Shanshui's expression changed drastically as he knew that something was amiss. He immediately decided to throw the metal container out.
The metal container exploded in midair and the red string snapped inch by inch. The Corpse Bug flew out and bared its fangs and claws. It opened its mouth and spat out a thick fog that enveloped Gu Shanshui.
"Retreat! That's corpse mist!" Gu Shanshui shouted and quickly retreated. At the same time, he summoned dozens of strange Gu.
After the Gu came out, they tried their best to suck the corpse mist, but they didn't suck much before they all died.
The chick let out a strange cry and spat out a mouthful of golden flames. When the golden flames encountered the corpse mist, it immediately burned and instantly burned to nothing.
The chick also rushed towards the Corpse Bug and pecked at it with its beak.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Corpse Bug was even faster than the chick. With a flap of its wings, its horn slammed into the chick, sending it flying. It landed on the ground and rolled far away before stopping.
Ever since the chick was born, it had never suffered such a huge loss. It flew up as though its feathers were on edge and spewed out large amounts of golden flames at the Corpse Bug, hoping to burn it to death.
The Corpse Bug seemed to be somewhat afraid of the golden flames and didn't dare touch them. It flapped its wings to dodge the metal flames and flew towards the retreating Gu Shanshui.
From the looks of it, the Corpse Bug's intelligence wasn't low. It even knew how to bully the weak and fear the strong.
Gu Shanshui hurriedly summoned his Gu to face the Corpse Bug, but when his Gu encountered the corpse mist spewed out by the Corpse Bug, they immediately fell to the ground and twitched to death. They were useless.
Zhou Wen watched from the side and realized that the corpse mist spewed out by the Corpse Bug was more like a combination of bacteria or viruses than a poisonous mist.
Once the bacteria and viruses invaded the Gu's bodies, even the Gu couldn't withstand it and quickly died.
Those bacteria and viruses should be considered Gu, right? This Corpse Bug is practically the mother of a Gu. A random mouthful of fog it spits out contains a massive number of Gu. Apart from the chick's flames that can restrain it, it's really difficult for others to deal with it. Zhou Wen saw the chick fly over and spit out golden flames, burning the corpse mist away.
Zhou Wen didn't get Tyrant Behemoth to charge forward. Although Tyrant Behemoth was very strong, it was too huge. If it inhaled the bacteria and viruses in the corpse mist, no one knew what would happen.
The Corpse Bug was the first Gu that dared to fight the chick. However, it was still very afraid of the chick's golden flames. It didn't dare be touched by the golden flames. It used its speed to constantly change positions, hoping to rush over and bite the chick.
The chick wasn't as fast as it, but its flight trajectory was very strange. Zhou Wen watched for a while before widening his eyes. This fellow's flight trajectory resembled his Transcendent Flying Immortal no matter how he looked at it.
Holy sh * t, a bird actually learned my Transcendent Flying Immortal movement technique? Zhou Wen was dumbfounded.
The chick used Transcendent Flying Immortal to fight the Corpse Bug to a standstill. Its golden flames couldn't hit the Corpse Bug, and the Corpse Bug couldn't touch it.
"Master Gu, do you have a second plan?" Zhou Wen asked Gu Shanshui while the Corpse Bug and chick were fighting.
Although he had many Companion Beasts on him and it wasn't impossible for him to kill the Corpse Bug, it was meaningless for Gu Shanshui to kill it if he wanted it alive.
"Even the Gu pot made of Pure Essence Gold and the Blood Thread Rope made of Blood Thread Gu can't trap it. Even if I have a way to lure it over, it's useless." Gu Shanshui shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Upon hearing Gu Shanshui's words, Zhou Wen recalled something. He took out the calabash and handed it to Gu Shanshui. "Give it a try. See if you can use this to trap the Corpse Bug."
Gu Shanshui knew the origins of the calabash and was delighted to see it. However, he couldn't find any holes despite flipping the calabash around.
