High-Level Gu Insects on the Second Layer
The pit is getting deeper and deeper.
It's also getting narrower and narrower.
Along the way, Gao Yunyi saw countless strange and bizarre Gu worms.
It was as if all the world's poisonous creatures had gathered here, leaving him dazzled and thoroughly enjoying the sight.
This Myriad Gu Pit might be a terrifying and ominous place for others, but to him it was more like a newly developed park near his home, where he could come and go as he pleased.
Ma Yi followed behind, holding a torch in her hand.
She found the torch among the piles of bones; she must have brought it in during her Coming-of-Age Ceremony last year.
The way she looked at Gao Yunyi now was complicated, a mixture of curiosity and awe, worship and admiration.
She even wondered if her Mother's words were true.
Is the other party really the distinguished guest that my Mother described?
Why are all the Gu worms in the Myriad Gu Pit afraid of him?
These Gu worms were raised by the Black Miao and were the foundation of their existence. Nothing as incomprehensible as this had ever happened before.
Even if her Mother came, she would still have to be careful and cautious, as if walking on thin ice.
After passing through the first layer,
We've reached the second level of the Myriad Gu Pit.
Although the number of Gu worms here is small, they are powerful and dangerous.
It was here that my Mother caught the Luo-You Mother Spider, and it was thanks to the Luo-You Mother Spider that my Mother was able to secure her position Great Miao Chief.
The same was true for the Older Sister's Azure-Scaled Gu Snake, which is why she became the rightful successor of the Great Miao Chief Black Miao.
They are all so amazing!
But he alone couldn't even get past the first area.
Ma Yi sometimes wondered if she was really her Mother's biological child. Why was there such a big difference between her and her Older Sister, even though they were born of the same mother?
Fortunately, thanks to the handsome and mysterious young man in front of her, she finally had the opportunity to reach the second level of the Myriad Gu Pit.
This can be considered as fulfilling a regret she had in her life.
The Gu Cave was dark and damp, and unlike the first level, it was not noisy; it was as quiet as death.
Gao Yunyi remained as leisurely as ever, as if he were admiring a foreign landscape, completely ignoring the danger lurking in the darkness.
Ma Yi is different.
The silence around her made her uneasy, fearing that a terrifying worm would emerge from the darkness at any moment and bite her to death.
Things went just as she had predicted.
Suddenly, a beam of dark light shot out from within the jagged rocks, its target the anxious Ma Yi.
Under the torchlight,
The dark light was exposed to her eyes, but the other party was too fast, and her body couldn't react at all.
Just when she thought she was going to die,
A slender, fair hand suddenly blocked her way.
The dark light landed in his palm, rendering him unable to move.
Still shaken, Ma Yi gasped for breath, her face deathly pale. For a moment, she truly thought she was about to see her great-grandmother.
Gao Yunyi opened his palm, and in his palm was a small creature with a grayish-brown shell.
"It's Myriad Plague Flea. Be careful not to get bitten, or you'll get infected with the disease, and it will spread like wildfire."
Ma Yi cried out in alarm.
Although she didn't have her Natal Gu, she had an extremely deep understanding of Gu insects, knowing them like the back of her hand.
"Flea?"
Gao Yunyi frowned, then crushed it to death.
Ma Yi was dumbfounded.
This Myriad Plague Flea was just as powerful and capable as her Older Sister's Azure-Scaled Gu Snake, yet it was crushed to death so easily.
"Come over."
Gao Yunyi said to Ma Yi.
After Ma Yi obediently came over, Gao Yunyi wiped all the filth in his hands onto her clothes.
In response,
Ma Yi didn't mind at all; on the contrary, she felt honored.
It's important to understand that not everyone has the opportunity to wipe the blood of the Myriad Plague Fleas with their clothes.
Perhaps as a warning to others, the Gu worms hidden in the darkness and corners stopped stirring and all went into hibernation.
That's all,
Gao Yunyi, along with his little follower, continued walking towards the third floor.
Ma Yi was completely captivated by this mysterious and handsome man; his powerful aura, which made him seem indifferent to danger, even affected her.
She was no longer timid or fearful; she even unconsciously raised her head.
Her legs were still clamped together, even tighter and tighter, as if they were about to spill out at any moment.
However, just as they were about to exit the second floor...
Something happened.
The dormant Gu worms finally stopped hiding, seemingly unwilling to let outsiders disturb their king.
Rustling and crawling sounds began to come from all directions, accompanied by low hissing and whistling, as if warning and intimidating them.
"Young master, let's go. We can't go any further, or it will really be dangerous."
Ma Yi whispered a word of advice.
The young man before me may indeed be very strong, but the one sleeping on the third level is the Gu King. Legend has it that the Gu King is a pet raised by the Beast God, and the Myriad Gu Pit exists because of it.
If the Gu King's hibernation is disturbed, all the Gu worms in the entire Myriad Gu Pit will go mad.
They had reached the deepest part of the second level, which was already quite an achievement; they couldn't risk going any further.
It should be noted that for hundreds of years, not a single Black Miao Tribe person has been able to reach the third level.
Upon hearing Ma Yi's words, Gao Yunyi simply smiled faintly.
Although he has lost the system, there is nothing in this world that can make him avoid its sharp edge.
Furthermore,
Miaojiang is now his domain, and he has both the obligation and the right to come and go as he pleases.
"If you don't want to go in, you can wait outside."
After saying that,
Gao Yunyi then took a step forward.
It was precisely this action that immediately attracted the attention of those high-level Gu worms hiding in various corners.
A centipede with a jet-black carapace and a dark blue sheen, and venomous barbs on the tips of each leg, crawled down from the rock wall and bared its fangs at Gao Yunyi.
A scorpion with a dark red shell and a stinger as thick as a finger emerged from a crevice in the strange rock, hissing softly.
A group of ants, no bigger than a fingertip and entirely black, no longer hid and gathered their strength on the skeleton.
A golden toad jumped out of the small pond, its cold gaze fixed on Gao Yunyi.
Above his head, colorful moths and butterflies hovered, their powdery plumes rising in the air, while a black snake with a single horn on its head flicked its tongue at Gao Yunyi.
Ma Yi froze on the spot, staring at the high-level Gu worms around her, her eyes filled with despair.
Phantom Gu Moth
Thousand-Footed Mystic Centipede,
Withered-Soul Butterfly
Helltail Scorpion
Bone-Devouring Gu Ants
Golden Toad Gu
Ink-Horned Gu Snake.
She recognized every single one of these high-level Gu worms, but it was precisely because of this that she knew how dangerous and terrifying their current situation was.
"Young master, run! Get out of here quickly!"
Ma Yi was filled with immense fear and despair, but her body still made its choice.
This time, she didn't abandon her companions and desert. Instead, she stood in front of Gao Yunyi, ready to use her own body and flesh to buy him a chance to survive.
But to everyone's surprise, Gao Yunyi didn't appreciate it. He reached out and grabbed her by the back of her collar, lifting her aside like a chick.
Just as Ma Yi was filled with confusion and bewilderment, and just as these high-level Gu worms were stirring restlessly,
Gao Yunyi merely narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly.
"Roll--"
The voice was not loud or audible, yet it carried an absolute will that could not be defied, radiating a vast and oppressive aura like the might of heaven.
