Chapter 325: Never Retreat
Stepping on the water formed after the ice melted, Gu Shun continued to walk deeper into the cave.
Walking through the narrow corridors, the depths of the cavern suddenly become clearer, but the temperature is hotter.
Several disciples were digging holes in the walls of the cave with hammers and chisels, burying iron pipes one after another into the rocks.
The main purpose of this is to strengthen the entire cave, once the Gu King loses control, they can only start the final plan, completely seal the entire cave, and see if they can trap the Gu King in this cave.
Thinking of the Gu King's destructive power, it should be difficult for the rock to block it, but as long as it can delay the time for the Gu King's birth, the Ancient God Sect will still have a chance to completely eliminate this Gu King.
For the current ancient gods, the most lacking thing is time, and what is needed most is time. Especially Chu Xiuru, now that the Jingzhou operation is just around the corner, she wants to sneak into Jingzhou in the name of going to Xuzhou to participate in the auction of the King of Xuzhou, and personally command the operation of the entire Jingzhou, so that the Ancient God Sect will make a comeback and revive the majesty of the year.
But right now, if the crisis of this Gu King is not resolved, it is impossible for her to leave for Xuzhou just like this, and the assassination of the King of Xuzhou and Jingzhou will be affected at that time, she doesn't want to let her long-planned action be completely wasted because of this accident.
But she is more assured of Gu Shun's safety, Gu Shun is the heir she has pinned all her hopes on, the most talented person in the Ancient God Sect since its creation, the most likely to penetrate the secrets of the Ancient God True Scripture, and the person who was directly chosen by the Ancient God.
In any case, Gu Shun can't be in the slightest danger. After all, the plan was postponed or canceled, and they still had a chance to take the next action, but if Gu Shun's safety was affected, then the Ancient God Sect might really lose its future.
Betting on the present or the future, this is a very realistic choice, and Chu Xiuru still chose the latter after all.
When Gu Shun came to the innermost part of the cave, the Gu King, who was already extremely restless, suddenly seemed to feel something, and burst out with a sharp and piercing scream.
The sound was very much like the cry of a baby in the middle of the night, but it was also mixed with countless resentments and killing intent, which made people shudder for a day.
With this scream, the Gu King in the copper and iron ball began to struggle frantically, constantly hitting the iron wall made of molten iron.
With the terrifying sound of bells, the copper walls and iron walls produced by the solidification of copper water and molten iron gradually protruded outward, and some fine fissures as fine as silk began to form on some iron walls.
"It's not good, the Gu King in here has completely awakened, and his aggression is stronger than before, this iron cage can't trap it." Xu Darthead witnessed the growing movement, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Come on, people, continue to dump molten iron, and we must not let it escape."
As the words fell, one disciple after another carried the molten iron and poured it directly on the surface of the copper and iron balls that had covered countless layers of molten iron.
The hot molten iron exploded as soon as it touched the iron ball, and the molten iron splashed in all directions, and many disciples of the Ancient God Sect were burned by the molten iron.
But they still had severe pain in the ninja, and poured molten iron on it, and in order to let the molten iron cool down quickly, after the molten iron was poured on it, another disciple poured a basin of water on it, and so on several times, and the copper and iron ball was reinforced several more layers, and became stronger than before.
Just as the people present breathed a sigh of relief, the molten iron that was still steaming suddenly exploded, and the iron ball was poked out of a big hole.
An incomparably sharp spike protruded from the shattered hole and stabbed directly at a disciple who had not had time to dodge.
Before this internal strength martial artist could resist, he was completely pierced through the abdomen.
"Help, save me." The disciple struggled to reach out to his companion for help, but the other disciples were also stunned.
Soon, the disciple's whole person was picked up from the ground, and although he wanted to struggle, the poison on the Gu worm's body made him unconscious in an instant. The blood that came out of the wound also turned from red to black purple.
"Help." The elder of the Ancient God Sect on the side was the first to react, and hurriedly urged his footwork to step forward, but was stopped by another elder beside him.
"You're crazy, that person is hopeless now, if you touch him, the whole person will die of poison."
The Gu King is not an ordinary Gu worm, it must be very poisonous, otherwise it is impossible for that disciple to be touched, and the blood on his body will turn black and purple.
The spike that stretched out slowly retracted, and at the same time, the impaled disciple was also dragged into the copper and iron ball.
Immediately, the terrifying chewing sound came from inside, and the click of bones being chopped by sharp teeth made the disciples and elders of the Ancient God Sect, who were accustomed to killing people, still shudder.
"Hurry up and plug the gap, you can't let the Gu King come out of it." Bai Sha immediately asked his disciple to continue to step forward and stop pouring molten iron, hoping to reseal the gap that had been destroyed by the Gu King.
However, all the disciples held containers filled with molten iron, but they did not dare to take another step forward.
No one wants to be eaten so cruelly like that disciple, no matter how big an ordinary Gu worm is, it is only the size of a fist, and this Gu worm is probably already the size of a calf.
"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry, you must stop at nothing to plug that gap."
"No, there's no time. That Gu worm has seen the air and achieved its final metamorphosis, and we can't stop it from being born now. ”
Just as Xu Gushi spoke, a lightning bolt that was more powerful than before struck the top of the mountain, splitting the entire mountain into a crack.
Powerful lightning pierced the roof of the entire cave, slashing at the copper and iron covered on the surface of the clay jar, flashing with an incomparably dazzling electric light.
Even the iron rods on the walls of the cave that had been buried in advance to conduct electricity into the ground were heated red by the current of lightning.
As lightning exploded inside the cave, the entire mountain shook violently as if it had been shaken, and the rock, which had been very solid, began to loosen and collapse.
Chu Xiuru's eyes were deep and gloomy, staring at the broken gap, not paying the slightest attention to the gravel that might fall on the top of the cave at any time.
For her, who had reached the realm of an Innate Grandmaster, that Gu worm gave her a feeling of incomparably dangerous that she had never felt before.
"Sect Master, it's too dangerous here, let's go out and avoid it first." Qiu Shi persuaded while protecting Chu Xiuru's head with his hands to prevent the sudden fall of the gravel from hurting the sect leader.
"The problem of Gu worms can't be solved, and Shun'er will always be in danger. My Ancient God Sect has been crisscrossing the border for decades, and it has a history of hundreds of years in the Central Plains, and Gu worms alone have cultivated tens of millions, is there not a way to deal with this Gu King in so many experiences and ancient records.
Today, this seat will not retreat anywhere, and this Gu worm will be completely subdued. ”
When everyone heard Chu Xiuru's words, they all knelt down and kowtowed, and they didn't dare to come out.
Especially for many ordinary disciples of the Ancient God Sect, there are very few opportunities to see the sect leader on weekdays, but today it is really a special honor to be able to be in the same cave as the sect leader.
However, although everyone knew that this tricky trouble in the cave was difficult to deal with, when they heard with their own ears that the Gu worm was actually a Gu King, everyone was quite shocked.
