Chapter 285: Spring and Autumn Gu?

Chapter 286 Spring and Autumn Gu? Since Zhou Qing had spoken, Tang San could only hold back his movements for now - [If Hu Fangyuan really gave birth to a dragon, we would be lucky! ] Dragon has always been synonymous with power. Even a young dragon is full of treasures, such as dragon blood, dragon skin, dragon liver, dragon meat, etc. As long as they are used in the right way, they can strengthen the qi and blood and enhance the power. Bang! When Hu Fangyuan's bulging belly had swelled to the size of a water tank, with only a thin layer of film left and looking like it was about to explode, it suddenly deflated and shrank. This made Zhou Qing, Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were hiding in the passage for fear of being splashed with internal organs, flesh and feces by the explosion, stunned. "It seems it failed." Tang San was a little disappointed. When Zhou Qing proposed the possibility of Hu Fangyuan "transforming an insect into a dragon", he felt a little bit of anticipation. But now the result is——

It's not unacceptable. In fact, this result is normal. The layout of the entire Luoxing City was completed by this guy's ancestors who influenced successive city lords, and it was passed down from generation to generation! Two hundred years! Such a long time! Even if we know the specific planners are only generations old, how many variables have accumulated during this long period of time? Zhou Qing was the first to step forward and check on Hu Fangyuan, whose stomach was shriveled, and found that he was still in the state of being possessed by the martial spirit, as if the spirit-eating insect martial spirit had completely merged with his flesh and blood. "I can't sense any soul power in him now, but why is the martial spirit still in the state of possession? Is it completely materialized?" Tang San also noticed this and couldn't help but wonder. There are beast martial souls, weapon martial souls, and even martial souls like Zhou Qing, which can be a part of oneself. But after all, it is just an illusory energy group that can be materialized externally with the blessing of soul power and has its own unique energy circulation system. Therefore, without the stimulation of soul power, the martial soul itself should not show the effect of possession. As for the complete materialization of his martial soul, Zhou Qing's first thought was to become a god at level 100! Poseidon. According to the original novel, this person conquered the sea in a thousand years and condensed the faith of sea soul beasts and sea soul masters to become a god. He made his own martial soul: the trident, completely materialized, or in other words, made it a artifact, which can exist independently of the sea god himself, and even stay on the Sea God Island. But this is only the performance of the weapon spirit owner after becoming a god. As for the beast spirit becoming a god, the original series did not fully describe it, but judging from the fact that Ma Hongjun was able to inherit the Phoenix God, I am afraid that the beast spirit will also become a divine beast as the soul master breaks through level 100, that is, the soul master will truly possess the blood of a divine beast. At present, the so-called bloodline in the soul master world, unless it is a special case like Tang San, does not refer to human bloodline, but the bloodline of martial spirit. Taking the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family as an example, when the family’s direct descendants choose spirit rings, they must hunt spirit beasts with dragon blood. According to Zhou Qing's theory that "the growth and evolution of martial souls mainly rely on soul power as nourishment", the main reason why the descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family choose soul beasts with dragon blood as their soul rings is probably not to incorporate the dragon blood in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex's martial soul when absorbing the soul ring. There are quite a few sub-species of dragons that possess lightning attributes, and their bloodlines must be different. It is impossible to allow the martial souls to absorb and evolve them all at once, otherwise the martial souls of future generations will not be able to be inherited stably. Therefore, Zhou Qing believed that the descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family needed soul beasts with dragon blood to become their soul rings. This was probably mainly to allow the blood of the same dragon clan to stimulate the dragon blood of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul itself, thereby promoting the active growth of the martial soul. The dragonization of the direct descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family is probably a low-profile version of the martial soul's true form after the dragon bloodline of the martial soul was stimulated in advance.

However, Zhou Qing guessed that no one in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family should have thought of this. They just tested based on generations of experience and found that soul beasts with dragon blood can make their martial spirits more powerful. Therefore, they think that soul beasts with dragon blood can strengthen martial spirits and enable them to explore the power of "dragonization". But in fact, this is not a strengthening, because the spirit masters of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, most of their direct descendants still have pure Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex spirits, and are not affected by their parents' spirits at all. Unless the martial soul suddenly mutates, the mutated martial soul will be passed on to future generations. Perhaps in the process of using dragon blood to stimulate the martial soul blood, the blood in the martial soul can also affect the human body, so that the human's own genetic factors are also contaminated with the elements of dragon blood. Are there any benefits to this? Naturally, it can cooperate better with the martial soul, but if the dragon blood component is too high, I am afraid that from the perspective of species, it can no longer be considered a pure human being. In the same way - At present, Hu Fangyuan is still in the state of being possessed by a martial soul after his death. It is possible that during the experiment of evolving the martial soul, the potential bloodline of the beast martial soul, the spirit-eating insect, was awakened. He also used some secret method to affect his own human bloodline and express it. and so! This was not due to possession by his martial spirit, but rather his own bloodline being completely corroded by the spirit-eating insects, causing his appearance to become half human, half insect. But Zhou Qing shouldn't know about the information about the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family at this time, so he said: "This should not be a martial spirit possession. The real martial spirit is probably 'nurtured' in his abdomen by some secret method." "You mean, this person was born with this appearance?" Xiao Wu was extremely surprised, even a little doubtful about her life, and didn't understand why there were creatures in the world that were similar to humans and soul beasts. Are humans too perverted? Or is there some spirit-eating insect with a higher level of cultivation and a larger body that is in heat? [A hundred thousand year old soul-eating insect transformed? Fell in love with a human? That's not right! A hundred thousand year old soul beast that transformed has a human body like me. Even if it wants to give birth to a baby, it can't give birth to a baby with soul beast characteristics!] "Do you remember the topic of soul beast evolution that we talked about before? Your two brothers studied soul beasts and took special minerals and herbs. During the refining process, they mainly relied on soul power to control the energy similar to 'light' and 'heat' emitted from them to affect their own bloodlines." Zhou Qing thought for a while, summarized the words, and then slowly said, "As for the entire process of soul beast refining and evolution, I think it is this kind of 'light' and 'heat' that radiates to every cell in the body in a more appropriate way, causing each cell to undergo a certain degree of benign change, thus showing the effect of bloodline evolution." "And now, I suspect that Hu Fangyuan has stimulated a certain bloodline in his martial soul, causing his own bloodline to produce an effect similar to that of a soul beast swallowing special minerals and herbs, and then producing 'light' and 'heat' that can radiate to all cells in the body, thus affecting his purity as a human being." "As for the complete materialization of the martial spirit..." Zhou Qing paused and looked at Tang San: "Do you remember the example I gave you in Holy Soul Village about the person whose martial spirit was a scalper?" "I remember, at that time, it was said that people have extremely strong subjective initiative. Before becoming a Soul Saint, a person whose martial soul was a yellow cattle could not turn into a cattle to plow the land." As he said this, Tang San suddenly laughed, "Now that I think about it, it's funny. If I really cultivated to Soul Saint, would I still need to farm the land?" Zhou Qing also smiled. He said that at the time just to conform to the knowledge of a country boy. Now that he has seen a lot of the world, he naturally doesn't need to be so deliberate. Xiao Wu was completely confused o((⊙﹏⊙))o: "What are you talking about?" "cough!" Zhou Qing cleared his throat and said, "In fact, I give this example again mainly to illustrate my speculation about the materialization of martial spirits. In my opinion, the martial soul grows along with the soul power of the soul master, and when it reaches a certain stage, it will materialize. That is, the legend of becoming a god after reaching level 100."

Tang San held his breath. Of course, he had heard of the rumor about becoming a god after reaching level 100. Even the teachers at Notting College described it to students in class as if it were a fairy tale, giving them endless imagination. But the fact is, soul masters can only cultivate to the ninety-ninth level at most. Level 100? Regardless of the stories he had heard from Qing Zhuzhu about the Angel God, there seemed to have never been such a precedent on the continent. "There are three major thresholds for soul master training that the soul master community has summarized. The first one is level 30. We competed with soul masters at the soul master level in the friendly competition and experienced the power of soul masters. When the soul power exceeds level 30, the strengthening effect on the body has been significantly improved." Zhou Qing said, "The next big threshold is Soul Saint. At this stage, the martial soul has fully grown and reached its complete form, which means that the soul master has a martial soul true body. That is, the weapon martial soul can be completely condensed into a weapon, and the beast martial soul can allow the soul master to completely transform into a soul beast-like appearance." "As for the Soul Douluo stage of training, I think it is a way for the martial soul to accumulate energy in order to complete the next evolution when breaking through the Title Douluo stage." "Of course, above level ninety-five, each level is a threshold. I already know this from Jian Douluo... In short, the process of martial souls growing together with the soul master's soul power level is also the process of them becoming more and more solid, until finally, they can be fully materialized." Tang San followed Zhou Qing's train of thought and found that it was true. At least he could sense that his martial soul was becoming more "strong" and more solid as his soul power increased. Perhaps, the legendary level 100 is not a fairy tale, but there really were soul masters in the past who broke through the boundary of level 100, allowing their martial souls to be fully materialized. A weapon spirit is a physical weapon that is transformed into a real weapon. According to the legend of becoming a god at level 100, it can even be called a divine weapon! And what about the beast martial spirit? Perhaps it is to let the blood in it affect the human blood itself, and finally let the beast martial soul and the human body completely merge, so that humans can be transformed into the body of a divine beast! Following this line of thought, Tang San suddenly discovered that in this world, becoming a god at level 100 was just a legend or a fairy tale. The main reason for this was the lack of theoretical knowledge on the basic cultivation of soul power. Because there are two sets of veins that circulate soul power in this world. One set is based on the human body's flesh and blood, and circulates throughout the body. The other set is the martial soul itself, which is not directly controlled by humans, but also operates in a specific way. These two soul power operation systems complement each other. Just as Zhou Qing said, they are like two perfect gears embedded together, circulating and operating together. However, most of the soul masters in this world are unable to perfectly coordinate and unify the two, so their cultivation speed is slow. However, the cultivation speed is slow and the number of Titled Douluo is small. The research on the materialization of martial spirits naturally became nonsense. But now Tang San's trust in Zhou Qing is unconditional. Even if it is just a guess, he will believe it 99%! Therefore, he believed that if the realm of level 100 really existed, then finding a way to materialize the weapon spirit and transform the beast spirit into a divine beast would be the key to a breakthrough! And this key - Judging from the current state of Hu Fangyuan's corpse, it may not be necessary to reach level ninety-nine. As long as certain conditions are met, Soul Sect, or even a lower realm, may also be able to allow the human blood of the soul master to be affected by the blood of the beast martial soul, so that his own flesh and blood can be transformed into a divine beast in advance... Tang San did not hide it and directly expressed his guess. "Maybe that's true." Zhou Qing was also very pleased about this, but he still added, "But it was transformed into a divine beast in advance... No, it can't be called a divine beast at all, it can only be said to be a beast." "Martial spirits can evolve, this is certain. As for the top-level martial spirits on the market today, I do not deny the possibility that some are naturally high-quality martial spirits, but it is more likely that the original human ancestors overcame difficulties and passed down from generation to generation, which led to the emergence of the so-called top-level martial spirits."

"But how long is this time?" "A hundred years? A thousand years? Ten thousand years? Even a hundred thousand years?" Tang San shook his head: "Ten thousand years is too long." Right now he-- Seize the day! "Yeah, it's been too long." Zhou Qing returned to the topic, "So, the soul beast's training is very slow. If the martial soul completes the materialization in advance, it may be able to strengthen our strength in the short term, but we cannot deny another possibility, that is, after this, if we want the martial soul to continue to grow and evolve with our cultivation, I am afraid that this time will have to be calculated according to the soul beast's training time." Tang San's face changed, and he immediately gave up the idea of ​​letting his martial soul materialize prematurely. If the martial soul is materialized, the growth and evolution time needs to be calculated according to the soul beast's training time. Maybe Zhou Qing will reach the Soul Sage or even Soul Douluo level at the age of 20, while he may only be a Soul Master at the age of 20. Absolutely not! "However, Hu Fangyuan's corpse provides us with a case study of how the beast martial spirit bloodline can erode a human body and turn it into a half-soul beast." Zhou Qing changed the subject and said, "So, our adventure mission this time has failed." Tang San is actually a perfectionist and cannot tolerate the word "failure", but he also knows why Zhou Qing said that. This body is of great value! Although they don’t need to transform their martial spirits into artifacts or divine beasts at this stage, in the future they will want to become Titled Douluo or even reach the ninety-ninth level of the peerless realm. If they want to go further, they may need to refer to Hu Fangyuan’s corpse. "Aren't you two going too far? A mere Soul Sect member can be involved in the perspective of becoming a 100-level god?" At this moment, Xiao Wu came back to her senses and rolled her eyes, "Is this what? Oh, right, we are just doing it behind closed doors!" Zhou Qing laughed, "Hehe, just think of us as necrophiles. When we study this corpse later, you'd better get involved. We may have to dissect a lot of fallen corpses in the future." The fallen have given up their human identity, so there is no need to treat them as human beings, and this is a good way to make the best use of them. "Sometimes, the Fallen can really find angles that we can never find under normal circumstances." With emotion, Tang San and Zhou Qing smiled at each other and prepared to curl up Hu Fangyuan's body and put it in a space inside Yue Ziming on the twelfth floor. Why isn’t it in Zhou Qing’s little gray bag? Because the bag was temporarily given to Romantina. But as soon as Tang San squatted down, he shuddered with fear and quickly stepped back. "what happened?" Zhou Qing was surprised. He took a closer look and his eyes twitched unconsciously. Adding to the smell in the secret room, he retched with a loud "whoosh". "What did you see?" Xiao Wu looked past Tang San and at Hu Fangyuan's body, only to see that a large hole had quietly appeared in his abdomen. In that hole, which was similar to a woman's uterus, green worms were wriggling in the sticky liquid. Each green worm has wrinkles, a white abdomen, a blue-gray back, and a mouthpart full of sharp teeth, which are arranged in rows and rows, which is quite disgusting. Just one line is enough to make people shudder. There were actually hundreds and thousands of worms in Hu Fangyuan's abdomen, and they were biting and devouring each other.

"vomit!" Xiao Wu's eyes also trembled. She held onto the wall and retched and coughed continuously. Zhou Qing took a long breath, took the water bag handed over by the pale-faced Tang San, and took a big gulp before trying to suppress the nausea. He sighed, "No wonder even you can't stand it." With so many bugs entangled together, even for a disciple like Tang San who was born in the Tang Sect in his previous life, it was a little hard to accept. Now, the three of them stayed away from Hu Fangyuan's body, fearing that if they got too close, those disgusting green bugs would crawl onto their bodies. "That's the soul-eating insect!" Xiao Wu wiped the bitter water from the corner of her lips, snatched the water bag from Zhou Qing's hand, and poured it into her mouth. "Don't drink it all, leave a sip for Xiao San." Zhou Qing reminded. "Ha~" Xiao Wu puffed her cheeks, rinsed her mouth, and then swallowed. She handed the water bag to Tang San, "Here." Tang San took it, drank a sip, cleared his throat, and said to Zhou Qing: "Don't overestimate my endurance. Also, in this situation, I don't dare to go forward and wrap up this body. How about you go?" Zhou Qing's head shook like a rattle. go with? I will definitely have nightmares at night! But when I thought about the fact that I was going to do something to change the world in the future, how could I accomplish anything if I was afraid of even a tiny bug? Therefore, Zhou Qing had no choice but to bite the bullet, act like a leader, and walk forward in a pretentious manner. While Zhou Qing and the others were talking, the green bugs in the big hole in Hu Fangyuan's abdomen had almost finished fighting, with only a dozen or so left. But after devouring the rest of its kind, it didn't grow at all, which made Zhou Qing, who was trying hard to suppress his nausea, a little strange for a moment. It was not until he saw a worm biting off the tail of another worm that he understood what was going on. The torn tail did not leak out insect juice, but instead turned into streams of blue-gray air and drilled into the body of the biter. Not a real bug!? At this point, Zhou Qing's eyes became serious, and he called out to the two people behind him: "Don't just stand there, come over and take a look!" Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at each other and could see the suspicion in each other's eyes, but they still tiptoed over and saw that the number of blue-gray worms in Hu Fangyuan's stomach had decreased. Xiao Wu pinched her nose and said dissatisfiedly: "What's so good about this? Isn't it just that there are fewer soul-eating insects? The air here is too stuffy, let's leave quickly." "wrong!" Tang San keenly noticed the process of the insects dissipating: after a soul-eating insect was torn apart by other soul-eating insects, the broken parts dissipated, and they also carried a trace of soul power... "This isn't a real soul-eating insect!" "It's a martial spirit!" X2 Zhou Qing and Tang San gave the answer at the same time. "What? You're saying that this thing is a martial soul?" Xiao Wu covered her mouth, unable to believe that these spirit-eating insects in front of her were actually Hu Fangyuan's martial soul! The person is clearly already dead and cannot die again! But the martial soul still exists? For the people of Douluo Continent, this kind of thing is definitely a hundred times more terrifying than those horror stories about gods and ghosts! "A martial spirit has its own soul. Although not everyone knows this, it can be regarded as common sense in the spirit master world."

Zhou Qing spoke in a calm voice, his breathing slightly rapid. "But it's so weird... I'm afraid it's just as I speculated before. This guy somehow let his martial soul enter the womb to grow, wanting to complete the evolution. But the womb is not a real place to grow martial souls. So during the growth process, the blood information contained in the spirit-eating insect martial soul was stimulated, and radiated to Hu Fangyuan's whole body, causing his body to become so ugly." "During this process, Hu Fangyuan's connection with his martial soul was completely severed, so his martial soul was temporarily preserved..." "There is only one beast spirit, but there were so many just now. I'm afraid something went wrong with the breeding, causing the spirit to replicate continuously, just like - spirits can be passed down from parents to offspring." "Hu Fangyuan's belly was so big just now, perhaps his Soul Devouring Insect Martial Spirit used all the soul power in his body to replicate itself... But because Hu Fangyuan died, the soul power dissipated quickly, so these Soul Devouring Insect Martial Spirits had to start devouring each other instinctively in order to survive, in order to live longer." Xiao Wu's scalp tingled after hearing this, and she couldn't help but curse, "How could there be such a weird method in the world? It's amazing that Hu Fangyuan could think of it." Seeing the number of soul-eating insects in Hu Fangyuan's abdomen decreasing, until only three were left, and they began to fight more fiercely, Tang San's brows relaxed slightly, and he guessed: "So, even if they devour others through fighting, they will eventually disperse because of the dissipation of soul power?" “That should be the case, but I’m not sure whether the final winner among them can exist without relying on soul power. After all, this thing is bred from the womb…” Zhou Qing stopped talking halfway, and carefully looked at the edge of the hole. He found slight suture marks at the bottom, and his eyes trembled three times - Hu Fangyuan actually transplanted a female uterus into herself! what is this? Did sex reassignment surgery appear in the Middle Ages? After trying to calm his inner turmoil, Zhou Qing continued, "Xiao San, don't you have the Mysterious Jade Hand that is immune to all poisons? This insect is ten centimeters long, and when it's coiled, it's half the size of a palm. If something unexpected happens and the Soul Devouring Insect jumps up and attacks us, the Soul Guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow may not be very useful, so you'll have to do it yourself." Tang San suddenly felt as if he had eaten bitter gourd. His brows twisted together, his eyes trembled, and his look was full of resentment. But it seemed that he was the only one at the scene who knew the Xuan Yu Hand. He did teach the training method to Zhou Qing, but this guy didn't practice it! At this moment, Tang San felt mixed emotions in his heart, and thousands of words of greeting to Zhou Qing converged into one word - Blanch! Although the Tang Sect created this move called Mysterious Jade Hand, its fundamental purpose was to prevent disciples from being poisoned or scratched when refining poisons or sharpening hidden weapons. But to use the Black Jade Hand to touch this kind of spirit-eating insect covered with mucus and blood... He now seriously suspected that Zhou Qing had foreseen a similar situation a long time ago, so he did not practice the Black Jade Hand. At this moment, Zhou Qing ignored Tang San's resentful look, showing his big white teeth, and gave him a thumbs up to give him courage. Tang San: “→_→” Give you a look! Experience it yourself! Zhou Qing smiled awkwardly, not daring to look Tang San in the eye. He could only number the three worms in Hu Fangyuan's stomach: No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3. Although the three worms had no eyes, noses, or ears, they all had mouths full of spiral sharp teeth and made slight hissing sounds. If the three people present were not all soul masters with excellent hearing, they probably would not have been able to hear it. Thirty seconds later, Soul-eating Insect No. 1 was the first to lose its patience and started to bite Soul-eating Insect No. 3. It's sizzling! The moment number one bit number three, its tail swung and wrapped around number three's body. Number Three was not willing to be outdone. He twisted his head 360 degrees where his teeth were, and bit Number One's body, tearing it apart with all his might. At the same time, number two also moved, but did not bite directly. Instead, it circled around the two, perhaps trying to find the weak points of number one and number three, or trying to take advantage of the fight between the two to make both suffer losses so that he could reap the benefits.

“How can a tiny worm be so intelligent?” Tang San opened his mouth, realizing for the first time that he might not know the fundamental origins of the two martial spirits in his body at all, and he only had a preliminary communication with them. If the Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer also possessed the same wisdom as this soul-eating insect— Spiritual? no problem. As obedient as a pet? Even better, it can form a perfect match with itself. But if the martial soul itself possesses intelligence close to that of a human, he will definitely try his best to guard against them, so as not to become a puppet of the martial soul. "The origin of Wuhun is a mystery." As Zhou Qing sighed, the two snakes, number one and number three, that were biting each other suddenly opened their mouths and moved towards number two together. Number One bit the back of Number Two's tail, and Number Three bit the back of Number Two's neck, and the two exerted force together. Hiss! In an instant, the soul-eating insect number two was torn into three sections! Moreover, this time, the soul-eating insect No. 2 did not immediately turn into soul power and dissipate, but revealed something similar to internal organs. If you look closely, you will find that these three limbs are still slowly dissipating, but the speed is very slow. "Did it materialize after devouring other spirit-eating insects?" Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, stroking his chin, thinking about the reason. Xiao Wu was just startled by this scene. Tang San looked more carefully and found that the No. 2 Soul Devouring Bug, which was torn into three pieces, was a circle larger than No. 1 and No. 3. He could not help but become more alert: "Not only is No. 2 Soul Devouring Bug strategic, No. 1 and No. 3 are actually pretending to bite No. 2 to attract No. 2, so as to give No. 2 a fatal blow! Is this really a martial spirit? And not some intelligent creature?" "Spirit-eating insect, spirit-eating... is the thing it eats really soul power?" Zhou Qing thought of another possibility, "Do you think it also includes the soul? This is the backlash of the spirit-eating insect martial spirit against Hu Fangyuan. Did it devour his soul, and then through splitting and fighting, finally determine the strongest spirit-eating insect?" Tang San was speechless and Xiao Wu covered her mouth. Both of them were unable to answer. And now, they can only wait and see what happens, but the three of them have been extremely vigilant, either releasing their martial spirits or having their martial spirits possessed. The three dark yellow beads, with patterns of three different shapes, gold, red, and blue, are the most vivid parts of the Soft Bone Rabbit, the Mooing Spring Ox, and the Wolf's Hair Grass. Number One and Number Three opened their round mouthparts with their teeth turned outward, and swallowed the head and tail of Number Two respectively, leaving only the middle part. Finally, the two of them picked up the two sides of the middle section respectively and swallowed it like sucking noodles. The mouths of number one and number three also slowly moved closer... but they did not kiss each other as Zhou Qing, Xiao Wu and Tang San had imagined. Since No. 1 started by eating the head of No. 2, perhaps it gained more energy, which made its body slightly larger than No. 3. So much so that at the last moment when it was about to "kiss" No. 1, it instantly opened its mouth and directly bit No. 3's head! In an instant, No. 3's head, along with half of No. 2's flesh and blood that No. 3 had swallowed, were bitten off by No. 1 and swallowed into his stomach. The final winner - It’s number one! After No. 1 swallowed the remains of No. 3 into its stomach, it did not suddenly rise up as Zhou Qing had expected, but curled up into a ball. A layer of white mucus appeared around its body, wrapping it up and turning it into a black cocoon, as if it was completing some kind of transformation. Tang San frowned, thinking back to what he had seen before, and found that the whole process seemed similar to "refining Gu". Can martial soul also be used to refine Gu? Before he could ask Zhou Qing, the black cocoon broke open, revealing a brand new soul-eating insect: The skin was gray with a hint of purple. The original mouthparts were covered with wriggling tentacles, with two large black tentacles on each side. Four limbs grew from the white abdomen, each with four gray-black claws. There was a pair of pitch-black wings on the back, which flew out of Hu Fangyuan's abdomen with a slight flap...
