Chapter 248: The Old Woman's Gu Worms

op the power within you, you could do this too."Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately shook his head and said:“The power within me, hehe, I know that one, but unfortunately, I can't use it at all...."Damn it!"

Qi Tian's face immediately contorted with disgust upon seeing the old woman.

Actually, it's not really Qi Tian's fault. The problem is that this old woman looks quite hideous.

He was dressed in all black, his skin rough and weathered on his hands. His face looked like wrinkled tree bark, with a mouth full of yellow teeth and eyes that still glinted with malice.

At that moment, the old woman's raspy voice, like sandpaper scraping, rose:

"Go now, my little darlings, slay them and feast on their blood."

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a rustling sound echoed all around. Then, countless venomous insects swarmed out from every corner of the house.

Even Qi Tian, who didn't have arachnophobia, felt a shiver down his spine after seeing this.

And He Xi frowned even more, her smooth forehead creased with disgust.

"Xiao Tian, these bugs are too disgusting! I'm giving them to you, I don't want to touch them!"

When Sun Wukong heard this, he said with some resignation:

"Okay!"

After speaking, only to see Qi Tian stretch out his right hand, suddenly, a flame appeared at his fingertips.

"Haw haw haw... Haw haw haw..."

The old woman sneered and said, "Boy, do you think a mere wisp of flame can stop my army of venomous insects"

"Come on, little ones, show him what you got."

"To be honest, to deal with you lot, I wouldn't even need this wisp of flame."

"But I feel like you guys are too disgusting, so it's better to just turn into ashes directly."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Qitian pointed with a single finger.

"Boom..."

In an instant, the flames transformed into countless fire dragons, instantly incinerating the surrounding insects.

Suddenly, a burst of crackling sounds erupted, followed by... Those insects instantly transformed into wisps of black smoke and vanished without a trace.

And those flames, transformed directly into fire serpents, charging straight towards the old woman.

The old crone couldn't withstand Qitian's flames at all. In just a few breaths, she didn't even have time to scream before turning into ash.

Seeing this, Qi Tian twitched the corner of his mouth and said:

"With such little ability, you dare to be so arrogant. You're truly clueless!"

As those insects were turned to ash by Qi Tian, everything around them was also cleaned up.

Everything, all the mess and clutter, was reduced to ashes by Sun Wukong's fiery power.

After that, Qi Tian hugged Xia He and came to the house shrouded in black cloth.

Looking at the house before them, the two exchanged glances and then spoke.

"Why don't we check it out The insects that were raised to build such a large house must not be ordinary."

“Maybe it’s some rare kind of centipede. Even if we don’t use it, we could sell it, what do you think”

He Xi smiled and said, "Do as you please. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me. I'm just curious and want to study it."

After hearing this, Qi Tian nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll open it!"

After finishing his words, Qitian waved his hand. In an instant, the black cloths were blown away.

"Rustling... rustling..."

Just as that black cloth was flung away, roars and rustling sounds filled the air, causing Qi Tian's brow to furrow.

"Boom..."

Just then, a loud bang echoed through the air. Immediately after, the entire roof was torn away.

Then, a huge figure appeared before the two of them.

But when He Xi saw this huge figure, she pointed at it and said:

"This thing is a parasitic grub. You can't be serious, are you"

At this moment, Qi Tian was also a little dazed. He said with an expression of disbelief:

"No, I don't know either. Logically speaking, there should be some centipedes inside, right"

But immediately following, Qi Tian's face changed, and he said:

"No, this thing is a gu, no, to be specific, it's a gu nest."

He Xi looked at Qi Tian's golden eyes, and also circulated his mana, looking at the huge figure.

When it saw the huge figure's insides, it gasped in astonishment.

"Whoa……… This is terrifying, it's like a beehive!"

Inside that massive form, it had become a complete hive of insects. Thousands upon thousands of grubs existed within its body.

Inside the body, it had become completely riddled with holes.

At that moment, the dust settled, and finally, the figure's appearance was revealed.

There stood a gigantic black tiger, seven or eight meters long. Its hulking form was marred by numerous bloody wounds, sending shivers down one's spine just by looking at it.

"Little Tian, what exactly is going on here How did this... "

Qitian shook his head and said, "As for centipedes, I only know a little bit about them. I don't really know what they are."

However, if I'm not mistaken, this worm is most likely a corpse worm.

But why would so many gu worms hatch, yet some are still left inside That's rather strange.

Just then, the black tiger suddenly moved and roared at the two of them.

"Roar…"

Suddenly, a terrifying tiger's roar echoed throughout the entire village.

A terrifying blast of air blew all the surrounding houses away.

Seeing this, Qi Tian merely waved his hand, and the qi wave instantly dissipated, not harming him in the slightest.

However, after seeing this scene, Qi Tian understood it in his heart.

"I see, this fellow has already become proficient, he just wanted to control this tiger corpse before."

"Um...what do you mean" He Xi asked, clueless.

"This worm, I don't know the specifics, but what I can confirm is that it's a corpse worm. "

I just don't know what kind of corpse worm it is. The thing is, even though this corpse worm is powerful, it doesn't really have much offensive power itself.

Its toxicity is not the strongest either, at most it has some corpse poison.

What's truly terrifying is that this thing can manipulate corpses. It can even make them exert 70% of their living strength.

This tiger demon, looking at its physical form, should have been the strength of a small demon king in life.

However, after death, he didn't know how that old hag resurrected him and wanted to control this demon corpse using his own Corpse Gu.

This isn't right, it was just finished and hadn't been used yet, before we found it. Even that old hag was burned to ashes.

Now, this corpse grub should be out of control. Unbound insect pests don't have much consciousness to begin with.

Now, nine out of ten times, he's probably going out to feast on flesh.

How do you like this corpse puppet If you're interested, I'll take action and eliminate his eggs and other little worm things.

"Keep that female insect for yourself. If you're not interested, I'll kill the rest."

After hearing this, He Xi's face turned bad as she shook her head and said:

"Forget it, I'm not interested in Corpse Worms. Let's pick something else."

After hearing this, Qi Tian nodded and said: "Okay, I'll burn it then."

Upon finishing his words, Qitian waved his hand. Instantly, flames enveloped the corpse of the tiger within.

Suddenly, a series of sharp, guttural growls echoed from within. Moments later, the Corpse Tiger collapsed to the ground, motionless.

And with the burning of the flames, it quickly turned to ashes.

Looking at the ash-covered corpse of the tiger, Qitian turned to He Xi and said:

"Let's go, let's leave..."

However, Qi Tian had not finished speaking when he suddenly turned his head to look at the ashes.

"What's wrong, Xiaotian Is something the matter"

Zi Tian frowned, pointing at the pile of ashes and said:

"I felt a force of life inside, very strange and peculiar, neither alive nor dead."

Upon hearing this, He Xi also waved her hand. In an instant, the ashes were blown away directly.

When Qi Tian saw the scene before him, he was instantly shocked.

"This thing is strange, too strange. How can there be life inside this"ter energy brought by the sea and transmitting it to the water crystals."Finally, the Water Crystal transfers its energy to the Wood Crystal, transforming it into Wood Energy.Afterwood ignited, so thi...
