Chapter 21: Grass Fireflies
The tanuki was afraid that he would be too late to agree and fall into the same fate as the bull demon, so he hurriedly nodded his head convulsively.
A bloody leg flew directly into the air towards the tanuki, who took it with both hands, and then conjured up a large pile of spices and began to carefully concoct the beef.
Sesame oil, honey, salt...... Lu Qing looked at the spice bottles, not only did his index finger move: "Can you tanuki clan's illusions conjure anything?"
"No," the tanuki whispered, "I took these spices out of my tail, not illusions." As he spoke, he wagged his big fluffy tail.
Taking it out of the tail, Lu looked at the tail, and then at the tanuki, looking confused.
"I turned a large package into my tail so that I don't have to hold it with my hands, it's very convenient!" said the tanuki triumphantly removing his tail from his body, and then turned it into a huge package with a flick.
"And this kind of operation! Then your original tail" Lu Qing suddenly became interested.
"When I was a child, I secretly ran out to play and was eaten by Gu worms" The raccoon's mood suddenly fell, and he lowered his head.
Gu worms? Lu Qing suddenly thought of the centipedes, scorpions, spiders, poisonous snakes and the like he encountered along the way, weren't their races all Gu worms?
At first, he thought it was just a matter of the name of the world, but now it seems that there is another mystery, so he asked, "Is it those big bugs?"
"My lord, you have also encountered it! yes, since the Great Monster Witch Gu Master appeared in our Tanuki Forest, now the Tanuki Forest is full of Gu worms, even if our Tanuki clan is trying their best to hunt and kill it to no avail, on the contrary, it has become more and more, and many clansmen have been attacked" Tanuki said.
"Great Monster Witch Master?" As soon as Lu Qing heard the news of the Great Monster, a glint flashed in his eyes in an instant. The task requirement of the second side quest is to kill the three-headed monster.
Now, although the main goal is to rush to Shenyou Village within three days, he is actually not far from Shenyou Village.
And only half a day has passed, and the remaining two and a half days are just to collect clues for some other tasks, and this is also the reason why I promised the tanuki to go to the tanuki clan.
"Let's talk about the big monster and the witch master," Lu said lightly.
A hint of horror flashed across the tanuki's face, thinking that this wizard must have made a deep impression on him, and that kind of bad impression.
"Legend has it that the Witch Master used to be a very good onmyoji, especially good at driving insect gods, and even created a secret technique that can control insect monsters to devour each other, and finally kill the last surviving one, so as to make an extremely powerful god of style. "Tanuki said,
After that, after decades of cultivation, the Witch Master finally cultivated the strongest insect-like god in history, which was called Gu.
However, after the Gu was cultivated, because its power was too strong, it could not be controlled by the power of the Witch Gu Master.
In the end, in order to prevent Gu from losing control and causing disaster to the world, the Gu Master had to merge himself and Gu into one, hoping to control Gu in this way. Tanuki continued.
"But he failed, but he was fused by Gu, so he became a big monster?" Lu Qing began to guess the next plot development.
"No, he succeeded, although his appearance became inhuman. However, he still managed to control the Gu and gained great power in doing so.
It was the power that corrupted his heart, and in order to become stronger, he began to plant a kind of monster called Gu worm everywhere."
"This kind of Gu insect monster, the legend is that it is an ordinary insect monster that was cultivated by a witch master with secret techniques, not only has a super ability to survive and adapt, but also breeds very quickly.
The most terrifying thing is that these Gu worms can almost perfectly inherit each other's power by devouring each other!" Speaking of this, the tanuki's eyebrows were furrowed tightly.
"It means that the two Gu worms devour each other, and the remaining one has the power of two Gu worms.
And the purpose of the Witch Gu Master is estimated to be to wait for these Gu worms to devour each other and become extremely powerful individuals, and then devour these Gu worms himself, so as to improve his own strength" Lu Qing's brain made up for a moment, and immediately understood the Witch Gu Master's intentions.
The tanuki looked at Lu Qing in disbelief: "My lord, how do you know! Our tanuki clan has also been deduced after a long time of analysis by several elders."
Lu lightly spread his hands: "Isn't this obvious?
Combined with the characteristics of the Gu worms you mentioned, you can deduce it with your knees. ”
"I just can't think of it," the tanuki said depressedly.
Lu Qing laughed: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with this witch master doing this, but the blame is that the Gu worms he cultivated not only devoured each other, but also harassed innocent passers-by, which is not right."
Tanuki, tell me quickly, where is this witch master now, I want to serve the people... Wrong... Eliminate evil for demons"
"Everyone knows that the Witch Master is the source of the Gu Worm, but no one knows the specific location of the Witch Gu Master, it is said that he is in the Worm Forest, which is far east of our Tanuki Forest, but the Worm Forest is full of poisonous insects, and no one dares to go in" The Tanuki whispered.
"The Forest of Insects to the east of the Tanuki Forest, well, I'll write it down. Tanuki, do you know the location of the evil monsters, tell me all, I'm the legendary self-sacrificing man... No... Demon Lei Feng: "Lu Qing was very happy to learn the location of a big monster.
"My lord, it turns out that your name is Lei Feng. However, not all big youkai are bad youkai, and some big youkai often help weak youkai, such as the grass firefly who lives in the grass forest, and often uses her ability to heal injured youkai, and even humans ask her for help, she will take action!" said Tanuki.
Grass Forest, Lu Qing wrote down the location of a big monster again.
With a roll of his eyes, he asked with a smile: "Tanuki, what kind of youkai is that Grass Hotaru and what is her ability?" I must visit her when I have time, a good youkai like us needs to communicate more." ”
The tanuki nodded, and didn't seem to have the slightest doubt about Lu Qing's words: "Lord grass firefly is a monster turned into a plant called dandelion, and she can use dandelion to speed up the healing of wounds and get rid of diseases."
Moreover, Lord Kusataru's combat ability is also super powerful! Last time, the two big monsters went to the Grass Forest to make trouble, and she was kicked out!"
She's one of the biggest youkai in our neighborhood that all the little monsters in our neighborhood worship the most!
A powerful plant monster that can heal wounds, Lu Qing quickly recorded this information. It seems that this monster called grass firefly is not easy to mess with, has a good reputation, strong strength, and the ability to recover.
"Oh, what are the names of those two big monsters, and where do they live? I am usually the most jealous and hateful, and I must come to the door to teach them a good lesson like this kind of demon scum!" Lu Qing said angrily.
The persimmon has to be pinched softly, and the two big monsters together can't beat the one called grass firefly. Even if the opponent has the home advantage, the strength is definitely not strong, and it should be a good choice. Lu Qing thought to himself.
