Chapter 34: The White Bone Worm, the Monk's Bone
In the following days, Zhou Qingqing continued to search for the tomb of the foundation building monk mentioned by the Tudao people in the Gu Land of Southern Xinjiang, with the place where the spirit boat hovered that day, he had already searched all the areas with a depth of three hundred miles in the east, west and north directions, leaving only the last south.

The south side is the direction that goes deep into the Gu Land of Southern Xinjiang, and it is also the direction where the terrifying vitality aura that Zhou Qingnian felt that day is located. This was also the reason why he put the south side last, if he could find the tomb of the foundation monk in any of the other three directions, it would be best not to venture deep into the Gu Land of Southern Xinjiang.
But it backfired, and he didn't find the tomb of the foundation building monk he was looking for in the east, west, and north directions, and now, he had no choice but to move towards the depths of the Gu Land in the southern Xinjiang.
"I hope that guy's graveyard won't be too deep, if I haven't found it after entering the area of the fourth-order Gu worm, I'll go back, and I'll be scolded by the master. Young Zhou said to himself in his heart as he walked forward.
The deeper the Southern Xinjiang Gu Land went, the more high-level Gu worms there were, the more dangerous it was for the monk, Zhou Qingnian knew this very well, so he was very careful with every step, and the Tiangang Spirit Wood Shield was suspended in mid-air and constantly rotated around him, ensuring that it could play an immediate role when encountering a Gu worm attack.
At the end of the whole day, Zhou Young Man only advanced thirty miles. And when he was exploring the north, he had advanced a hundred miles in one day, and his speed was three times slower!
On this dark night, Young Zhou sat in a cave, looking at the pitch-black Southern Xinjiang Gu Land outside the cave, his face was a little distressed, "The vitality coming from the front is becoming more and more fierce, I can still see a few second-order Gu worms yesterday, and all the ones I see today are third-order Gu worms, it seems that I should have stepped into the area of third-order Gu worms." ā
"If it weren't for the presence of the Tiangang Spirit Wood Shield, I am afraid that I would have been in danger at least three times today. Zhou Qingqing glanced at the Tiangang Lingmu Shield in his hand, and the palm-sized small shield was dim, obviously suffering a lot of loss.
"Tomorrow I will look for another day, and if I can't find it again, I will go back the way I came. Zhou Qingqing gritted his teeth, and a sense of loss arose in his heart at the moment he made this decision.
For more than a month, he tried his best to find the tomb of the foundation building monk, but this foundation building monk's tomb was as if it had become a Gu worm hidden in this southern Xinjiang Gu land, and he couldn't find it no matter how he looked for it.
And just when he could only choose to give up and had to accept the result of his first failed solo action, at noon the next day, he looked at a bone on the ground in front of him, and his breathing slowly became rapid.
The bone was a thigh bone, white as jade, glowing faintly in the sunlight, and a thumb-sized hole had been broken at one end of the bone.
"This is definitely a monk's bones!" Zhou Qingqing subconsciously flashed this thought in his heart, and his expression showed hesitation.
"I just don't know if this white bone is the bone of the foundation building monk I'm looking for...... And in this white bone, there seems to be a breath of vitality......" After a long time, Zhou Young Man muttered to himself, hiding behind a tree and staring at the thigh bone on the ground with his eyes motionless.
Half an hour later, the thigh bone suddenly moved, and I saw a white Gu worm drill out of the hole in the thigh bone, the Gu worm was almost three inches long, crawling out of the hole and lying on the bone, the wings behind it moved lightly and stretched out, soaring into the sky and flying towards the depths of the Gu Land in Southern Xinjiang.
"White bone worm, no wonder there is a hole in this bone. Young Zhou was stunned when he saw the Gu worm.
The white bone worm is a third-order Gu worm that uses bones as nests, and usually hides in bones until the marrow in the bones is eaten clean, and then flies out of the bones to find the next bone.
And human bones are the favorite nest of the white bone worm, so it often happens that the monks who have refined the white bone worm in the cultivation realm go to the mortal world to slaughter mortals and take their bones to feed the white bone worm.
Walking out from behind the big tree, Zhou Qingnian walked to the thigh bone and bent down to pick it up, the bone was very light, he used a little force, the bone was shattered, and he saw that the bone marrow inside was unexpectedly empty.
"The white bone worm should go to find this monk's other white bones this time, if you follow it, maybe you will have some gains. Young Zhou looked at the direction in which the white bone worm had left and muttered to himself. From the beginning, he locked on to the vitality of the white bone worm, the speed of the white bone worm was not very fast, and now he could roughly sense the direction of the white bone worm.
After a while, Zhou Qingqing gritted his teeth and slowly moved towards the direction where the white bone worm's vital breath came from, the flight path of the white bone worm was very strange, one moment to the left and one time to the right, it seemed to be avoiding those high-level Gu worms, following the route of the white bone worm, Zhou Qingqing didn't even encounter any powerful Gu worms along the way.
It was a quarter of an hour before the bone worm stopped. Zhou Qingqing, who felt that the position of the white bone insect was no longer changing, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
I saw that it was a waist-high earthen bag, and the corner of the earthen bag had collapsed, revealing the rotten coffin inside, and along the hole in the coffin, you could clearly see the white bones in the coffin, and the white bone worm was lying on the other thigh bone, gnawing on the bone and making a tooth-making sound.
"I didn't expect it to be really rewarding. Young Zhou was overjoyed, and immediately summoned the Aoki sword and pointed at the white bone worm, and the Aoki sword immediately flew towards the white bone worm.
Rumble!
The sharp blade of the Aoki sword pierced the rotting coffin directly, and the white bone worm was frightened, and its wings soared into the sky, dodging the sword, and hanging in the air towards Zhou Qingnian with a threatening insect sound.
Zhou Qingqing quickly pointed a finger, and a sharp wooden spear took shape in front of him and headed towards the white bone worm, he had already summed up a set of experience on how to deal with the Gu worm in this southern Xinjiang Gu land for more than a month, only to see that the sharp wood spear was smashed by the white bone worm when it reached the front of the white bone worm. And the Aoki sword had already come to the bottom of it at this time, and the blade of the sword slapped fiercely on its body.
The white bone worm was slapped with gold stars, and its body swayed left and right in mid-air to draw the figure of eight, and Zhou Qingqing seized this opportunity to manipulate the Aoki sword to fly above the white bone worm and slapped the white bone worm on the ground.
"That's it. Zhou Qingnian smiled proudly, walked up to the white bone worm, bent down and picked up the white bone worm and put it into the Gu worm jar.
From the very beginning, the sharp wood spear was just a feint, this Aoki sword was Zhou Qingqing's real killer weapon, with this trick, he tried it repeatedly, and now most of the Gu worms in the storage bag full of four Gu worm cans were obtained by this trick.
He then looked at the coffin that had been smashed by Aoki's sword, and there was a hint of fire in his eyes, compared to the white bone worm, this is the big head!
