The Divine Skill Ten Thousand Gu Communication

Human-Gu Connection could only share vision, the distance could not exceed fifty meters, and it required applying the liquid.

The skill looked good, but in practice, because his Gu insects all had poor eyesight, it was of limited use.

Ten Thousand Gu Communication was different. It truly shared all five senses.

After using "Ten Thousand Gu Communication," he could gain a Gu insect's hearing, smell, sight, touch, and taste.

Moreover, the Ten Thousand Gu Communication skill was powered by Gu Essence. As long as his Gu Essence was abundant enough, he could use Ten Thousand Gu Communication on a Gu insect and gain its five senses, even from a thousand miles away!

But that was only an imagined scenario.

Jiang Yiming tried it and found that, with his current Gu Essence, he could only use Ten Thousand Gu Communication within 2,000 meters.

None of that was the most important part.

What truly made Ten Thousand Gu Communication a divine skill was that it could be upgraded!

Jiang Yiming did not know exactly what effects it would have after an upgrade. He tried asking the system what conditions were required to upgrade it.

The system replied:

[100,000 Gu Refining Points.]

That number made him abandon the idea for the time being.

With a divine skill like "Ten Thousand Gu Communication," Jiang Yiming knew the half bottle of "Human-Gu Connection Water" he had left over was now useless.

"System, can I sell you this half bottle of water?"

[All merchandise sold by this store is nonrefundable and nonexchangeable.]

"..."

Jiang Yiming was speechless and could only put the half bottle of water aside for now.

It was already well past midnight, but he was not sleepy at all. Excitedly, he summoned Red Tail and Ghost Face to test the effects of Ten Thousand Gu Communication.

"First, crawl out 1,000 meters."

Red Tail and Ghost Face did as instructed, crawling in two different directions.

Once they were roughly far enough away, Jiang Yiming called out in a low voice, "Ten Thousand Gu Communication!"

He instantly knew the locations of both of them in his mind. Immediately afterward, he focused his thoughts and gained the five senses of both Gu insects.

The Red Tail Centipede lay in the grass. Jiang Yiming could feel the softness of the grass and smell its fresh scent...

The Ghost-Faced Spider had already crawled onto an exterior wall. The fine hairs on its legs could clearly feel rhythmic vibrations from the other side of the wall.

After Jiang Yiming gained its five senses, he could feel the rhythmic vibrations too. He could even tell they were vibrations caused by bodies colliding.

It was his first time possessing such keen perception, and he could not help sighing. "It's so late, and they're still fighting in bed instead of getting some rest."

Perhaps because he had felt those vibrations, Jiang Yiming's mouth was a little dry after he recalled Red Tail and Ghost Face. He hurriedly picked up the Dragon Scale Cup and drank a cupful of water.

Just then, his phone beeped.

"Who's messaging me this late?"

Jiang Yiming picked up his phone and opened WeChat, only to see Yulan's pretty profile picture had jumped to the top.

At the sight of her profile picture, Jiang Yiming's heart, which he had finally managed to calm, grew restless again.

That was the trouble with being young and vigorous: it was easy to get heated up.

He opened the message and saw only two words.

"Save me!"

Those two words put Jiang Yiming in a difficult position.

He had fought Yulan before and knew full well how formidable she was. If even she was in grave danger, would it do any good for him to go?

He was not the sort of person to stand by and watch someone die, but without knowing his opponent's strength, it was obviously unwise to rush off and save someone he barely knew.

He could not let his sperm rush to his brain and play the hero just because Yulan was pretty.

"Have you been captured? Is your opponent very strong?" he asked first.

"Not strong. I was just careless," Yulan messaged back.

Jiang Yiming thought, I already warned you, and you were still careless? It probably isn't that simple...

As he pondered this, he forgot to reply.

Seeing that he had not answered, she sent another message: "If you help me, I can give you some money afterward. At least a million."

Damn! This girl's a rich woman? How come raising Gu keeps making me poorer, but she raises Gu too and has so much money? That's not fair!! Jiang Yiming was inwardly shocked.

Although he had received a huge sum from the uncle, raising Gu was a bottomless pit. Every time he bought meat, it cost tens of thousands, and now he had less than 400,000 left in his account.

If I can rescue her, I'll have money again and can hold out for a while longer!

With that thought, Jiang Yiming sent Yulan a deliberately polite reply: "The money doesn't matter. The main thing is, I'm not the kind of person who stands by and watches someone die. Taking pleasure in helping others has always been one of my fine qualities."

"By the way, where are you?"

"I don't know. I'm locked in the trunk, and the car's still moving. I don't know where it's going," Yulan replied.

"Share your location." Jiang Yiming did not waste words and typed the instruction directly.

Soon, Yulan shared her location.

"I'm coming right now!"

Money could make ghosts push a millstone. Ever since Jiang Yiming had started raising Gu, he had become someone desperately short of money.

Just as he walked out of the residential complex, a taxi happened to pass by. Unfortunately, it had already gone past him.

Having missed this one, he had no idea when the next would come.

With that in mind, he took another road around, sped ahead of it, and waited in front of the taxi, waving it down.

"Where to?" the driver asked, rolling down his window.

If he had known how Jiang Yiming had caught up, he would probably have thought he had run into a ghost. He would not even have opened the window, but would have hit the gas and fled.

After getting into the car, Jiang Yiming said directly, "First, head to Wanxing Road."

He did not know where Yulan was being taken either, so he could only get moving and see.

The driver did not waste words either and headed straight there.

At Jiang Yiming's current speed, after taking ten agility pills, he could run about three hundred meters in ten seconds. By that calculation, he was even faster than the taxi.

But he was made of flesh, after all, and could not sustain a full-speed run for long. Besides, he had to conserve his strength, so taking a taxi in pursuit was the best option.

With the location shared, Jiang Yiming could see Yulan's movements.

Before they reached Wanxing Road, he noticed that she had turned and was heading toward Yubo Road.

That meant he did not need to go to Wanxing Road. He could take the elevated road and use a shortcut to intercept her!

"Driver, we're not going to Wanxing Road anymore. Get on the elevated road up ahead!" Jiang Yiming suddenly said.

"Hey! Where exactly are you going?" The driver was a little annoyed.

Jiang Yiming did not say much. He simply handed over two hundred yuan. "Just drive the way I tell you for now."

After taking the money, the driver not only stopped complaining, but also brought out his signature talent—his veteran driving skills!

A driver with twenty years of experience was no joke. He drove the beat-up taxi as though it were an AE86, and as he raced in pursuit, the distance between Jiang Yiming and Yulan grew shorter and shorter.

At the same time, the roads grew more and more remote. They were almost in the suburbs.

"Young man, where exactly are you going?" The driver was starting to feel uneasy again.

Just then, through the shared location, Jiang Yiming saw Yulan's icon stop five hundred meters away.

"Stop for a moment." He told the driver to pull over.
