The beginning of the Gate of Witchcraft's Oasis World exploration was so bad that it was unimaginable. Su Deli had discussed with the two Grand Wizards who shared honor and disgrace with him for a long time in his worry and felt that there was no other way. That was why he came up with this method of emergency passing down witchcraft to enhance the team's strength as a last resort.
In his heart, this was nothing more than a last resort. However, he did not expect that there would still be someone who was picky at this time. Not only that, this person was an E-ranked disciple whom he had just personally accepted into the Gate not long ago.
When Su Deli thought of this, an inexplicable rage rose in his heart. However, when he was about to explode, he suddenly recalled the horrifying thing that wizards would encounter when they cultivated the Gu Nest Spell. To his surprise, a sinister smile appeared on his face as he shook his head. "Disciple Zhang, you can still be picky at this time? You're really different from ordinary people.
Master Chen, the Gu Nest Spell is also a simple witchcraft that is easy to cultivate. Since Disciple Zhang wants to cultivate it, just teach it to him. Anyway, we'll have to pass it down to the next generation … "
As he was speaking, the tent's curtain was gently pulled open. The tall and fat elite disciple named Qiu Jiannan walked in quietly.
"Junior Brother Qiu, I asked you to gather everyone for a meeting. Why did you only come back now?" Su Deli shifted his attention to him and asked coldly.
"Deacon Su, it's because Junior Brother Pei Youliang has an emergency so I was delayed …" Qiu Jiannan hurriedly explained. However, before he could finish his words, Su Deli, who was moody, did not even bother to ask whether it was true or not. Gritting his teeth, he growled in a low voice, "Emergency? I remember that he's a Rank-9 Wizard who has transformed four wizard gus. He was still fine at noon but now he has an emergency?
Looks like there's still a smart person in our Gate of Death. This is the ability to see through small clues.
Good! Good! Such a smart person shall be allowed to rest for three days to build up his strength and be used as the vanguard of the vanguard when we're mopping up … "
Qiu Jiannan had seen Pei Youliang's appearance on the bed with his own eyes. Pei Youliang's face was drained of blood and his body was emaciated. It was as if he really had an emergency. However, he didn't dare to defend himself at this time. He could only lower his head and remain silent.
Without a target, Su Deli gradually calmed down after venting the nameless anger in his heart for a while. "It's useless to say more. At this moment, everyone naturally has a scale in their hearts.
As the saying goes, there's no need to beat the drum with a heavy hammer, so I won't make any more noise. Ruo Zhen, go and distribute these witchcraft introductions and let everyone read them.
After everyone has chosen the witchcraft you want to learn, go to Master Chen and Master Du to get the True Book. "
As he spoke, he picked up a few pieces of soft yellow parchment from the bed beside him and handed them to Ruo Zhen who was closest to him.
"Yes." It had only been half a day since they arrived at the Oasis World campsite, Ruo Zhen, who had already regained her bright and beautiful color, took the parchment and passed it to the wizards standing in the front row one by one.
"Many thanks, Senior Sister." The Gate of Witchcraft's disciple who received the soft yellow parchment thanked her and could not wait to open it to read. Very soon, the faintly visible terrified expression on his face turned into a pleasantly surprised one. From this, it could be seen that Su Deli and the two Grand Wizards had really put in a lot of effort this time.
When the other wizards in the tent saw their companion's joyful expression, they could not help but have a look of anticipation in their heads. Only Zhang Lisheng calmly walked up to Grand Wizard Chen and bowed deeply before saying, "Junior Uncle Chen, please grant me the Gu Nest Witchcraft True Book."
"Since Deacon Su has already agreed to it, I'll naturally give you the Gu Nest Witchcraft True Book." Chen Guanxing looked at the young man and said slowly, "However, I must make things clear first so that you won't make a mistake. This Gu Nest Witchcraft Method may seem mysterious, but just by listening to its name, you can tell that it's actually a method to refine the body into a bug's nest and shrink the wizard gu before hiding it in your own flesh and blood.
Even though the consumption of the bugs would be reduced by half after entering the body, it would still automatically consume the wizard's blood essence to maintain it.
Not only that, but this witchcraft method is very difficult and horrifying. One would need to endure the pain of the poisonous bugs biting the body. Most importantly, some wizards still can't master it even if they can endure the pain.
Not only that, even if you really master the Gu Nest Witchcraft Method, your strength won't have any improvement at all. Its only function is to make it more convenient for you to carry the wizard gu around, and it can also look like a bluff. Even so, you still insist on learning it? "
"The word 'convenience' is exactly what I want." Zhang Lisheng nodded.
The young man's words made Chen Guanxing choke on his words. "Disciple Zhang, your brain is indeed different from ordinary people. However, to be honest, some of the wizard's disciples don't want to cultivate this Gu Nest Witchcraft even if they have the opportunity.
Firstly, they're afraid that it'll be painful and it'll be in vain. Secondly, they feel that it'll be a psychological barrier to hide the poisonous bugs in their own flesh and blood. The Rank-6 wizard has already merged with the wizard gu when he transformed, so why would he still be afraid of hiding the bugs in his body? Compared to them, even though you're weird, you're still better than them. It's not a loss for me to pass the Gu Nest Witchcraft to you. "
As he was speaking, he stretched out his arm and rolled up his sleeve. Without warning, a bulge in the shape of a human face suddenly appeared on his slightly wrinkled yellowish arm.
After the human face appeared, it continued to squirm and struggle upwards. In the end, it tore its skin and transformed into a bald head without facial features. It extended out of Chen Guanxing's arm and grew with the wind. Like a balloon being blown, it grew to the size of a pumpkin in just a few seconds.
Upon seeing this strange scene that made one's back tingle, Zhang Lisheng could not help but ask in surprise, "Junior Uncle Chen, this Gu Nest Witchcraft can actually hide a living corpse in one's body?"
"Of course, the Gu Nest Witchcraft can only hide bugs. The witchcraft I'm using now is the Corpse Puppet Witchcraft. This strange witchcraft can only be mastered after you've reached Rank-12 Wizard and experienced the feeling of resurrection. I'll teach it to you when you've become a Grand Wizard." As Chen Guanxing answered, he raised his little finger and used his scalpel sharp nails to cut open the skin of the faceless human head on his arm before peeling it off.
The face of the human head was like a stack of paper. After Chen Guanxing peeled off three pieces of human skin, he bit his index finger and drew on the skin for a while before tossing the skin to Zhang Lisheng. "Take it.
Let me teach you another thing. Go to the kitchen tomorrow and find two pieces of raw meat with blood. You can cultivate after you lure the bugs from the gap of the camp's electric fence. Remember, you must do it step by step. You might die of pain if you advance rashly. "
"Yes!" The young man put away the human skin. Ecstatic, he replied with a straight face.
"Looks like this little fellow from Western Sichuan of mine is quite compatible with Junior Brother Chen. To think that he's actually instructing me in such detail!" Du Shancha, who looked like an old woman from the mountain village, suddenly smiled. "Then why don't you teach him more life-saving methods?"
Chen Guanxing became silent for a moment before shaking his head with a wry smile. "Senior Sister, I really want to learn such a method if there's really such a method. The word 'life-saving' sounds simple, but how can it be so easy?"
"You're right!" Du Shancha was stunned. Seemingly touched, she nodded and no longer said anything. At this time, the other wizards had also chosen the witchcraft that they wanted to cultivate. One by one, they came up to the two Grand Wizards and respectfully asked for the True Book. Zhang Lisheng, on the other hand, took this opportunity to retreat to the side of the tent's curtain.
After a long time, the freshly made True Books were finally distributed to the Gate of Witchcraft's disciples one by one. When the matter was over, Su Deli, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, became dispirited and exhorted, "Everyone, please cultivate diligently these three days. Even if you can increase your strength by just a little bit, you might still be able to save your own life at a critical moment." Then, he dismissed the wizards.
After leaving the tent, Zhang Lisheng impatiently walked towards his own tent. Without warning, he heard someone calling out in a low voice behind him, "Lisheng, don't leave just yet."
"Sister Min Lan, what's the matter?" Recognizing that it was Min Lan's voice, the young man stopped and turned around to ask.
"What's the matter?" Under the illumination of the two bright full moons, Min Lan walked up to Zhang Lisheng in two steps and whispered, "If I say that you're stupid, sometimes you're really smart.
If I say that you're smart, sometimes you're really stupid and pitiful. Didn't you see that Junior Uncle Chen was hesitating when my Master was helping you just now? If you had just taken advantage of the situation and if you're lucky, you might've become his registered disciple and be promoted to the C-grade right away. "
Min Lan thought that the thin young man in front of her would definitely have a look of regret on his face after hearing her words. Who knew that Zhang Lisheng would just smile and reply jokingly, "Sister, I'm not a monkey, so why would I take advantage of the situation?"
"You really don't know your limits. What kind of situation is it now? How dangerous is it? Forget it, it's all over now anyway. In short, remember to be careful three days later. Your life is your own." When Min Lan saw that the young man did not know what was good for him, she lost her temper and no longer said anything. After whispering a final warning, she turned around and walked away.
Zhang Lisheng frowned and walked back to the tent thoughtfully. Sitting on the steel wire bed, he muttered to himself, "Looks like the Gate of Witchcraft's casualties are even more severe than what Su Deli said. It's not that I went for wool and came home shorn, but I've already lost all my rice baskets.
I really must be more careful by then … "Then, he opened the human skin True Book that he had been holding in his hand.
After studying it carefully, Zhang Lisheng found that the Gu Nest Spell's cultivation method was indeed not difficult. To put it simply, it was nothing more than attracting poisonous insects to devour the wizard's skin and flesh. When the insects were eating and drilling on the body, the wizard would feel the pain in his body to nurture a tyrannical heart. Then, he would use a special spell to drive the wizard power in his body to surge and turn his body into a nest for the wizard gu to live in by relying on the insects' devouring.
After understanding a few key points, the young man began to chant an incantation 'pst shh …' and got rid of all the distracting thoughts in his heart, before completely memorizing the long incantation and secret cultivation method.
Right at this moment, the orderly, Wang Liansheng, came to ask if he wanted to order dinner or go to the canteen to eat. Seizing the opportunity, he said, "Let's order dinner. Brother, if you're busy, please bring me two pieces of raw meat with blood."
"Raw meat? B-Chief, you want raw meat with blood?" Wang Liansheng blurted out in astonishment.
Zhang Lisheng nodded silently. When Wang Liansheng saw his expressionless face that was completely different from the afternoon, he recalled the rumor in the camp and gulped, not daring to ask anymore. Standing at attention, he saluted and said, "Don't worry, Chief. Our battalion commander and political commissar have already given the order to fully guarantee the needs of the leaders of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. The raw meat will be delivered immediately."
