Even the Green Snake Tang Changsheng had thought so highly of had been killed by a stronger venomous creature.
Now only two strange venomous creatures remained, their forms impossible to describe, locked in a fight to the death.
He had to admit that the venomous creatures of this world were of a far higher caliber than those of his original world. These last two, each the size of a palm, were especially formidable.
The two were fighting their final battle. The victor would survive and become a Gu Worm; the loser would be devoured.
At last, a venomous creature that looked much like a blister beetle bit its opponent to death and claimed victory. A faint smile appeared on Tang Changsheng's face.
He bit his finger and let a drop of blood fall onto the creature. It froze for a moment, then crunched its enemy's corpse down to the last scrap.
"The Southern Demon Cult's gu-raising arts were once said to be unrivaled under heaven. To think they were passed down from antiquity. My General's Temple learned its gu-raising arts from them, so ours rank among the finest in the world too."
