Chapter 618: The Cause of the Mutation
According to Shangguan Qing, there are a lot of water sources along the way, and those waters are unpolluted and can be drunk directly, so a few people don't have to spend physical strength to carry so much drinking water, they just need to buy enough food.
Because this time everyone's destination was originally the tropical rainforest of Yunnan, so they made sufficient preparations, some of the things needed to climb the mountain have already been prepared, and the rest of the things are almost prepared before everyone sets off, and now the only thing missing is food. After discussing it for a while, a few people made a shopping list.
The things to buy are nothing more than the same old stuff, which is high-calorie, so that you can support the whole team for a longer period of time while carrying the same weight of items.
The route has been finalized, the list of things that need to be purchased has also been listed, and as soon as a few people discussed, they were ready to say goodbye from Shangguan Qing, and then go to find her brother and figure out the meaning of the Gu on the picture as soon as possible. At this time, Shangguan Qing spoke.
"Sister Xu, can I delay you for a few more minutes? I have something I want you to help me with. ”
"Good sister, if there is anything you say, it doesn't matter, as long as we can help, we will spare no effort to help you. You've helped us a lot here, and you, and you, I and I'm not outsiders, so just say anything you want. ”
"Okay, Sister Xu, that's right. When you entered that room just now, all the Gu worms in the room were agitated. I still can't figure it out, and it's very uncomfortable in my heart, and I want to figure out why.
My brother uses the most orthodox Gu refining method, and he firmly believes that only Gu worms raised by women have the best effect. So for so many years, I have been in charge of raising Gu.
And my brother is just looking for some insects or other animals that can be refined into Gu worms outside, and after mating, they are handed over to me for cultivation, so I still have a deep affection for these Gu worms.
I've been raising Gu for so many years, and I've never seen a scene like that just now, I want to know what is it that attracts these Gu worms, if I can figure out the reason, maybe it will be of great help to the Gu I raise in the future.
I thought about it carefully just now, there is nothing special about what you are carrying, so the problem can only lie with each of you, it must be something in your body that attracts those Gu worms.
You really don't have to waste much time, you only need the five of you to enter the room separately, if those Gu worms are restless again, it means that the person who enters the room is the one who attracts Gu worms, just ask him what special things he has experienced, or what special things he has eaten, maybe the secret will be revealed. ”
After listening to Shangguan Qing's words, the five of them glanced at each other a few times, in fact, even if Shangguan Qing didn't say anything, they planned to figure out this matter, not because they were curious about Gu worms, but because this matter might be related to everyone's safety.
This time, everyone's destination was the treasure left by Yuan Tiangang, but when Yuan Tiangang recorded the treasure, he actually used a picture of a Gu worm, that is to say, this time on the way forward for everyone, it is likely to encounter Gu worms, even if they don't encounter it, it is inseparable from Gu worms.
Gu worms are not powerful if they are not powerful, and if they are not powerful, they are likely to easily take people's lives. Therefore, if there are really some weird Gu worms at the destination this time, when everyone gets there, it may cause the Gu worms to go crazy again, and maybe the surrounding Gu worms will take a few people as the target of attack.
The Gu worms that could be recorded by Yuan Tiangang were definitely not ordinary things! It's much more powerful than ordinary Gu worms. Although it has been said for so many years, it is still a question whether those Gu worms can exist, but if those Gu worms really exist, then the five of them will have the possibility of being wiped out.
When Shangguan Qing appeased those Gu worms before, the five of them had analyzed it, trying to find out who caused the changes of those Gu worms, and after discussion, the target focused on the three people.
Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai were the first to be excluded from the team, because these two people had experienced relatively few things, and everyone agreed that they were unlikely to cause the Gu worm's mutation.
As the master of Maoshan Dan, Dao Gu deals with all kinds of medicines or things that can be alchemized all year round, and she also has to often experiment with the pills she makes.
So it was very likely that she had already accumulated some Dan Qi in her body, and it was very likely that the smell emitted by these Dan Qi made those Gu worms feel very longing.
Jin Huang is a Maoshan Formation Master, the mana in his body is very strong, when he was in the Taoist Holy Land, Jin Huang exhausted the mana of his body, and at the same time, he was sucked dry of the vitality in his body by the bronze mirror magic weapon, and he suddenly aged dozens of years, it is very likely that his current physique has made those Gu worms interested.
It is also possible that he took some relatively rare pills in the later stage of treatment, and the treatment of Jin Huang by the Dao Gu is still ongoing, and the medicine has not stopped at all, so there is a lot of Dan Qi in Jin Huang's body, which may also be a reason.
Not to mention Chen Ziyang, when he was looking for the ancient kingdom of Mimi, he was once absorbed by the essence blood in his body by that strange diamond, and later he was healed by the essence blood emitted by the diamond.
After that, he used the forbidden technique of the seven-star body protector, which almost caused his soul to go out of the body, but fortunately he was able to save his life by eating the heart of the dryad. The heart of the Dryad is not a treasure that everyone can touch, it is a very rare thing, what is the effect, no one can say, maybe the Gu worm just likes the smell of the Dryad's heart.
When he went to salvage the Bailang Pill some time ago, Chen Ziyang injected another extract potion of the dragon's blood strain, which was much stronger than the red mist emitted from the dragon's blood strain that several people had absorbed when they were in the Bohai Palace before.
Whether it's those adventures, or the extract of the dragon's blood strain, or the heart of the dryad, it may arouse the Gu worm's interest.
So the three of them are not sure now, and they don't know who the problem is, and now that Shangguan Qing has put forward this idea, several people also have the heart to verify it.
The verification method proposed by Shangguan Qing is still very reasonable, you can figure out at once who caused the Gu worms' restlessness, as long as you find this person, you can basically guess what attracted those Gu worms.
After the three of them nodded slightly, Xu Xiaoyuan said to Shangguan Qing: "Okay, sister, we also want to know the reason, let's come one by one." ”
Although several people agreed that the possibility of Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai was relatively small, everyone was not willing to miss any possibility. So after discussion, let these two people enter the room first.
As expected, after the two of them entered the room, those Gu worms were very quiet, as if no one had come in, and these two people were the first to be excluded.
The next person to enter the room was Jin Huang, although Jin Huang may be the one who caused the Gu worm to be restless, but everyone agreed that his possibility was still very small, the Gu worm generally liked those who were vigorous, and such people were delicious as food.
Although Jin Huang has been almost treated, the vitality in his body is limited, and he has not yet recovered to his peak state, and the Dan Qi in his body is definitely not as strong as that in Dao Gu's body, so in any aspect, Jin Huang's possibilities are smaller than Chen Ziyang and Xu Xiaoyuan. Sure enough, Jin Huang also returned in vain.
After glancing at Chen Ziyang, Xu Xiaoyuan walked into the room. As she entered the room, she suddenly saw a toad in a glass bottle jump and look in her direction.
Immediately afterwards, the crawling speed of some Gu worms in another glass bottle suddenly became faster, and the Gu worms in this bottle kept crawling on the inner wall of the bottle, and the speed was obviously much faster than before.
Xu Xiaoyuan's eyes widened in surprise, she didn't expect that it was herself who caused the Gu worm mutation. After waiting for a few seconds, she shook her head again.
Although there were many Gu worms in the bottles who were agitated, the degree of agitation was obviously much less than the last time, and not all the Gu worms in the bottles had abnormal movements, only accounting for a very small part.
This time, the scale of the Gu worm's agitation was much smaller, and it took longer from someone entering the room to when the mutation occurred, and after waiting for a while, some Gu worms reacted.
After looking around the room, Xu Xiaoyuan nodded, roughly figuring out the reason.
Although all the Gu worms are packed in a glass bottle, the lid of this glass bottle is not made of glass, and the top of the lid is actually a layer of screen, which is probably designed to prevent the Gu worms from suffocating in the glass bottle.
These meshes are all breathable, I have practiced the pills for so many years, plus I often take some pills, the pills in the body are very rich, these pills are emanated from the pores, mixed in the air, and through these screens, into the glass bottle.
A small number of these Gu worms in the glass bottle became interested in these Dan Qi, so they became agitated, which is why after they entered the room for a while, some Gu Qi reacted, and this time was the time it took for the Dan Qi to float into the air and enter the glass bottle.
And because the living habits of each Gu were different, not all Gu insects were interested in these Dan Qi, so only a small number of Gu insects were restless.
Shangguan Qing, who was originally standing at the door of the room, was very happy when she saw that some Gu worms had moved, but immediately after, she also reacted.
It seems that the problem is not with the Dao Gu who dissipates the fate, so when Xu Xiaoyuan walked out of the room, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Ziyang.
"This ......" Chen Ziyang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he felt a little dry mouth, what the hell is going on? What is there in his body that makes these Gu worms so obsessed?
Although the answer was already obvious, Shangguan Qing still wanted to be able to confirm it again, so she stood at the door and looked at Chen Ziyang with a pair of watery eyes full of longing.
After nodding, Chen Ziyang walked into the room again. It was basically the same as the last time, the moment Chen Ziyang walked into the room, all the Gu worms fell into a frenzy, and the glass bottle was made to sound by these things.
After only being in the room for a second, Chen Ziyang immediately turned around and left, he was worried that if he stayed too long, the situation would be uncontrollable. Shangguan Qing also hurriedly walked into the room to appease those Gu worms.
This time, the five people who stayed outside the room didn't discuss anything more, but all of them fell into deep thought, thinking about the reason, or thinking about some things they had experienced in the past, trying to find out.
"Mr. Chen, what exactly have you been through? Or maybe you've eaten something weird? Can you tell me and give me some reference. Shangguan Qing, who walked out of the room, couldn't wait to come to Chen Ziyang's side and asked.
None of the five spoke. After a long while, Chen Ziyang opened his mouth to Shangguan Qing, but he didn't even say a word, just showed an expression that wanted to speak and stopped.
"Good sister, to be honest, we have studied it for a long time before, but no one can figure out what is going on, but you don't have to be discouraged, when we think of the reason, we will definitely tell you as soon as possible."
Xu Xiaoyuan's words are actually excuses, reading the book She knew what Chen Ziyang was doing, and it was impossible to tell Shangguan Qing many things, even if Chen Ziyang thought of the reason, he couldn't say it, so Xu Xiaoyuan immediately started a round.
"Well, that's a shame! But Sister Xu, I beg you another thing, if you find my brother, you must introduce Mr. Chen to him, and tell him the whole thing, maybe he will help Mr. Chen analyze the answer. Shangguan Qing still didn't give up, and put forward such a request.
"Sister Qing, don't worry about this, even if you don't open your mouth, we will tell your brother, this matter involves a lot of things, if we don't figure it out, we will be uneasy."
With Xu Xiaoyuan's assurance, Shangguan Qing was finally a little happier. After a few words of greeting with Shangguan Qing, the five of them took their leave, and they still had business to do.
Shangguan Qing didn't hold back much, sent the five people out of the door, and watched them get into the car and drive into the distance. During the whole process, Shangguan Qing's eyes never left Chen Ziyang.
After purchasing all the food they needed to bring in a relatively large supermarket nearby, the five of them got in a car and drove towards the mountain range where Shangguan Qing's brother might be located.
