Chapter 1 I am a Gu

Next Chapter

I was reborn after a car accident.

But what did I reborn?

Luo Hou looked at his tentacles in front of him and was speechless for a while.

"Huh? What I want to refine is obviously a snake Gu, what is this? โ€

The voice came from above, and Luo Hou looked up and saw a huge human face.

Dirty and childish round face, unkempt ear-length short hair, holding her chin, a girl like a wild cat, and a pair of big eyes that keep blinking but are very clear and bright.

Thirteen-year-old Shi Qing scratched his head as he looked at the creatures in the Gu Refining Jar.

Inside the jar was a thumb-belly-sized object, fleshy, with multiple small tentacles, and a scarlet round pupil.

At first glance it looks a bit like a spider or an octopus, but it's completely different.

"Did it fail again?" Shi Qing poked Luo Hou with his finger.

It hurts.

Luo Hou angrily slapped her hard with his tentacles.

"At least a living thing." Shi Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

"Eat."

She put a palm-sized spider in the jar.

Do I eat it or does it eat me?!

Luo Hou was startled when he saw a hideous spider that was far larger than himself rushing over, and instinctively stretched out a tentacle forward.

What he didn't expect was that the tentacles elongated and stabbed out like spears, shattering the spider's hard skull in one fell swoop.

Then, Shi Qing threw in a large centipede, and he also used his tentacles to directly struggle its body.

He heard Shi Qing's self-talk, and understood the current situation in combination with his own situation.

No matter how unbelievable it was, at this moment, he had to accept the fact that he was reborn as a strange Gu.

Although he was very hungry, he was still a little resistant to eating bugs, because he was once human, and it was disgusting.

The most important thing is that he doesn't know how to eat it.

He found that he didn't even have a mouth!

Shi Qing was not surprised that Luo Hou could easily kill poisonous insects, because Gu was originally a creature raised by various poisonous insects.

"Huh? Why don't you eat? โ€

Shi Qing was puzzled, she took a closer look a few more times, only to find that Luo Hou didn't seem to have a mouth.

"This ......"

After failing to refine Gu with secret techniques, a deformed creature like Luo Hou may appear.

They are all kinds of strange, many of them have physical defects, and they don't live long at all.

Shi Qing was extremely depressed in his heart.

She has been an orphan since she was a child, she is helpless in this Gu clan village, she lacks guidance, and she has learned Gu art in a mess, which is already how many times she has failed.

As a Gu clan, everyone has to refine their own Gu and let it continue to grow, and even grow into a spirit Gu with spiritual power.

The owner of the Spirit Gu will also become a respected Gu Master.

And she can't even refine a normal poisonous Gu, she has always been the target of ridicule and bullying by her peers, let alone wanting to become a Gu master.

"Alas......"

It is rare to refine a living thing but is destined to live for a short time due to deformity, Shi Qing sighed and wanted to get up from the ground.

As a result, his legs went numb for a while, and he accidentally knocked over another jar next to him.

"Oh, no."

A toad the size of a sea bowl jumped out of the overturned jar, and jumped into the Gu jar where Luo Hou was waiting in a blink of an eye.

Luo Hou was taken aback, he didn't have time to resist at all, and he was swallowed by the toad in his heart.

He struggled desperately in the toad's belly, panicking.

However, contrary to the panic in his heart, his body trembled with excitement.

Powerful tentacles thirst into the flesh, secreting corrosive mucus that dissolves, devours, and absorbs the surrounding flesh.

The non-human process of nausea did not make him feel the slightest discomfort, and even obtained an incomparably intense pleasure.

I also want ...... Still want to eat more......

Under Shi Qing's shocked gaze, the toad struggled in pain on all fours, and after a while, its body dried up, and then it was disemboweled from the inside by several small tentacles.

After eating, Luo Hou, who had a larger body, came out of it, and he was now the size of a palm.

Shi Qing showed a surprised expression, "You can actually eat the golden toad?" Maybe I've succeeded in refining a Gu. โ€

"Dingdingding......dingding"

There was a knock on metal outside the door.

"Ah, it's time to sacrifice to the spirits."

Shi Qing excitedly grabbed Luo Hou and rushed out of the door, "After the sacrifice is over, I'll go to Uncle Tiger to see you." โ€

As soon as Luo Hou touched Shi Qing's palm, he instinctively wrapped his tentacles around it.

After eating the toad, he now had a thirst for fresh flesh.

He felt in his heart that as long as he wanted to, he could easily break Shi Qing's finger and kill her with corrosive slime.

Turn this little kid into your own prey.

I really want to suck her blood dry......

Luo Hou was startled by the terrible thought that suddenly appeared in his heart.

He didn't want to eat disgusting bugs, and he never wanted to use people as food.

Even if he is reborn as a monster, if he is devoured by the beast, then Luo Hou will die.

He suppressed his urge to eat and looked around with one scarlet eye open.

The village is small and looks like it is located in a primeval forest.

Judging from the costumes and utensils used, it is assumed that there may have been a minimal exchange of goods with the outside world.

At this point, the people walked out of their houses towards a stone altar in the center of the village.

When everyone arrived, they were led by an old man to bow down to the altar with their hands folded and chant words in their mouths.

Shi Qing also knelt down to pray, and Luo Hou wrapped his arms around her wrist to observe the center of the altar.

There is nothing empty there, what are they worshipping?

Soon, an ominous feeling came over him, and he couldn't help but stiffen all over.

In his perception, a strange and terrifying presence gradually appeared above the altar.

Even though he couldn't see anything in his sight, he instantly understood that it was an existence of the same kind as himselfโ€”a Gu.

It's just that compared to him, that Gu has quite a lot of power, so much so that it makes everyone kneel.

Luo Hou felt a chill in the void, as if he was being targeted by a predator, and he hurriedly closed his eyes.

"The ancestors dominated Zhongzhou, the descendants were incompetent, they lived in the Southern Wilderness, they were bullied by the sharks and the winged people, and there were even more barbaric aliens such as the scorpion clan and the lizard clan who regarded us as meat, praying for the blessing of the ancestors, so that I could survive in the Nanling, and please continue to bless my clan with Lord Gu King."

In Luo Hou's spiritual sense, an invisible force emanated from these people's bodies, and then was swallowed by the Gu in the center of the altar.

Soon, that Gu seemed to be full, and Luo Hou could no longer feel its breath.

Even if he breathed a sigh of relief, he still had doubts in his heart, what kind of world was this?

At the end of the ceremony, the people dispersed.

Shi Qing came to a wooden house after the ceremony and knocked on the door.

"Uncle Tiger, are you there?"

"Shi Qing, what are you doing again?"

A middle-aged man walked out impatiently, he had a fierce face, a scar on his face, and only one arm, looking difficult to get along with.

Shi Hu is one of the only eight Gu masters in this Ishida Village, and he has a cat ghost Gu with not weak spiritual power, which is quite prestigious.

He was also the one who taught Shi Qing's Gu technique, and Shi Qing would come to him if he had any questions.

Shi Qing lifted Luo Hou in front of him with some excitement, "This is the Gu worm I refined, I want to ask Uncle Tiger to take a look." โ€

Shi Hu only glanced at it, "Waste Gu." โ€

Shi Qing's expression instantly drooped.

Waste Gu means that there is no use.

Shi Hu showed a disgusted expression, "I remember asking you to refine the Yin Snake Gu, right?" What the hell are you? โ€

Shi Qing held on to the last glimmer of hope and said with difficulty: "But...... I really followed the method you said step by step, and this Gu ate all the golden toads. โ€

Shi Hu sneered, "Then you know Gu art better than me." โ€

Shi Qing immediately bowed his head and apologized.

"Treat this garbage as a treasure."

Shi Hu snatched Luo Hou from Shi Qing's hand, threw it on the ground and stomped on it hard.

I'm grass Nima!

Luo Hou felt a huge pain coming, and his body instantly turned into a meatloaf, and juice splashed everywhere.

"Go back and keep practicing." After Shi Hu finished speaking, he slammed the door shut.

Shi Qing looked at Luo Hou on the ground and felt distressed, she still had special feelings for the first Gu she had refined.

She wiped her eyes, detained Luo Hou's "corpse" from the ground, and prepared to take it home for burial.

Made, am I going to die again?

I don't want to die yet......

The damage to his brain made Luo Hou's consciousness confused, but the obsession with survival made him instinctively start to save himself.

In Shi Qing's surprised gaze, Luo Hou's flat corpse began to squirm and contract, gradually turning into a ball of flesh.

After a while, the ball of meat broke, and a small Luo Hou crawled out again.

He was back to the size of his thumb.
