All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 5 Three-Foot Heavenly Dragon! Toxin Resistance

Zhou Qing stood in the middle of the silkworm room, not daring to make a sound, and quietly watched the silkworms spinning silk.

Suddenly, the bright smile on his face faded.

"Zhang Dahai left today, but there's no guarantee he won't come back earlier."

How can you believe the words of a scoundrel?

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing gritted his teeth, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

He closed the windows of the silkworm room, and after confirming that there would be no draft, he mentally communicated with the Green Silk Gu.

"Erqing, I'll take you to find poisonous insects to eat. Can you find any?"

The Green Silk Gu's emotions were tinged with excitement.

"Okay, I'll let you eat your fill!"

In the dark, damp woods at the foot of the mountain, if you dig a little deeper, you'll find plenty of common poisonous insects.

If the quality is insufficient, quantity can be used as a substitute.

Zhou Qing reinstalled the door to the silkworm room and then locked it.

Then they returned to the mud-brick house and started a fire to cook porridge.

Soon, a pot of yellow and white porridge was ready, with a thick layer of bran floating on top.

Zhou Qing recalled that in her previous life at her grandmother's house, the pig feed would include fermented rice and Chinese cabbage.

He missed the meals his grandmother cooked on the earthen stove.

"Ugh"

Zhou Qing picked up a wooden ladle and scooped out more white rice from the bottom of the pot. Then he scooped the dark wild vegetables into the bowl, and an unpleasant smell rose up.

But he's used to it.

As long as it fills my stomach, that's fine.

After quickly finishing the bowl of wild vegetable and bran porridge, Zhou Qing patted his bloated stomach, picked up a basket leaning against the wall, and put his sickle, hoe, burlap sack, and two wine jars inside.

Before leaving, he went to Uncle Liang's house next door.

"drink!"

"ha!"

In the fenced yard, a boy with a buzz cut and dressed in hemp clothing was practicing boxing with loud shouts, and his movements looked quite impressive.

"Chaozi."

Zhou Qing called out from outside the courtyard.

The boy with the buzz cut stopped what he was doing upon hearing the voice. "Ah Qing, is something the matter?"

"I'm going out to pick mulberry leaves. Could you please keep an eye on my house and make sure no one gets near the silkworm rearing room?"

Zhou Qing said seriously.

"Sure, no problem! It was just that I wasn't there. If I had been, I guarantee I would have chased Zhang Laopi away!" Liang Chao patted his chest.

He's been practicing martial arts at the Chasing Wind Boxing Gym in town lately, and he seems to have become much more confident.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you brat! Hurry up and eat your breakfast!"

A woman with rough skin and a tired face came out, carrying a bowl of flatbread in her hand.

Seeing Zhou Qing standing outside the courtyard, she forced a smile and subconsciously tried to hide the bowl behind her back.

"It's Aqing."

"Auntie, I'm going out to pick mulberry leaves and would like to ask Chaozi to help me look after the silkworm house," Zhou Qing explained.

"Don't worry, we weren't paying attention just now, otherwise we wouldn't have let Zhang Dahai into your house. No one in Xin'an Lane will allow someone to take advantage of a family that has no descendants!" Liang shouted.

"Thank you, Auntie," Zhou Qing said.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Come over and have some with us." Mrs. Liang raised her bowl.

Zhou Qing looked at the flatbread, swallowed hard, and waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, no! I just ate, I'm too full."

These days, no one has it easy.

If it weren't for Uncle Liang risking his life to catch a precious fish in the Blackwater River, the Liang family's life wouldn't have been much better.

Madam Liang nodded and instructed, "Then hurry up and come back soon! I heard that there are unclean things in the mountains of the next village at night. I don't know if there are any here. You'd better go down the mountain before dark."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie."

Zhou Qing felt a chill run down his spine.

He recalled the four people who had just bought glutinous rice and the big black dog, as well as the zombie movies he had watched in his previous life.

If time travel is possible, and there's still a Gu worm inside his body, then the existence of zombies doesn't seem so strange.

As long as he comes back soon, that's fine.

After leaving the town, Zhou Qing headed straight for Black Wind Mountain.

This is the first time I've reached a position above the foot of the mountain.

Although the sun had come out, the dense forest was damp and had a gloomy feel because of the recent rain.

A gentle breeze swept by, raising goosebumps all over Zhou Qing's body.

"Pfft~!"

The Green Silk Gu seemed to sense his unease and took the initiative to comfort him, assuring him that with it there was nothing to fear.

"Okay, I'm not afraid."

Zhou Qing mustered his courage, found a patch of soft ground, and started digging with a pickaxe.

Before they had dug very deep, they found several earthworms burrowing out.

There was another hole next to the earthworm, as thick as Zhou Qing's wrist.

"Whoosh!" The Green Silk Gu wasn't picky about food; the earthworms that Zhou Qing had just dug out became its food.

I really don't know how it can eat so much with a body the size of a thumb.

Zhou Qing dug down the hole, which was about the thickness of a wrist, and after digging almost half a meter deep, he still found nothing.

The Green Silk Gu didn't react at all, so Zhou Qing had no choice but to dig in another place.

Then he dug in several places and found quite a few earthworms.

"Whoo~"

The continuous digging with his head down made Zhou Qing feel a little tired and dizzy.

He came to a large rock about two feet in diameter and was about to sit down and rest for a while when he suddenly stopped.

"Stone!"

Zhou Qing quickly lifted the stone and moved it away with force.

"puff!!"

The Green Silk Gu issued a warning.

Zhou Qing quickly stepped back.

When he looked closely, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Underneath the large rock that was half-moved, a centipede more than a foot long appeared.

The giant centipede was entirely red, and part of its body was covered by a stone.

The Green Silk Gu appeared on Zhou Qing's shoulder, with two rice-grain-sized eyeballs on its head bulging out and flashing with emerald green light.

"Hi~!"

The giant centipede crawled onto the large rock, revealing its entire body.

Zhou Qing estimated that the body was over three feet long!

This was the first time Zhou Qing had ever seen such a large centipede in either of his two lives.

The giant centipede crawled with its densely packed legs, then coiled up, its upper body raised high, its reddish-brown head facing the green silk gu on Zhou Qing's shoulder, its mouthparts opening and closing repeatedly, as if issuing a warning.

"puff--!"

The next moment, the Green Silk Gu flew off Zhou Qing's shoulder.

The terrifying centipede, nearly a meter long, suddenly turned and ran away, completely losing its previous imposing manner.

The giant centipede was knocked into the grass by the Green Silk Gu.

Swish!
The grass, which was over a foot tall, shook violently, and the leaves made a constant, fine rustling sound.

Zhou Qing quickly grabbed his pickaxe and ran behind the bushes.

"what?!"

The giant centipede's upper body was tightly wrapped around the Green Silk Gu, and its mouthparts kept biting at the Gu's body, but it couldn't bite it off.

The Green Silk Gu struggled violently, unable to break free for a time, and could only spit out transparent silk threads to wrap around the giant centipede's body.

The threads that could cut through wood could not cut through the carapace of the giant centipede.

"let me help you!"

Zhou Qing seized the opportunity and smashed the giant centipede's body in half with a single blow of his pickaxe.

puff!
A drop of dark red blood splattered onto the back of Zhou Qing's hand, instantly turning a small black patch on his hand, followed by a tingling, itchy, and stinging sensation.

"Hi~!"

The giant centipede was struck hard and instantly fell into a disadvantageous position. The Green Silk Gu spat out a second silk thread and cut off the giant centipede's head at the joint.

"Good job!"

Upon seeing this, Zhou Qing quickly went to search for antidotes nearby.

Wherever poisonous creatures dwell, there is always an antidote nearby, a fact told to him by the town's old hunter.

Zhou Qing searched around for herbs to counteract the centipede venom, and the areas on the back of his hand stained with centipede blood felt a burning pain.

Looking down, I saw that the entire back of my hand was bright red.

"found it!"

Suddenly, Zhou Qing found several slugs in the bushes.

He quickly picked up the slug, placed it on the back of his hand, and smeared its fluids on the back of his hand.

Soon, a cooling sensation appeared, and the burning pain on the back of my hand was relieved.

Whoosh!
At this moment, the Green Silk Gu appeared on the back of Zhou Qing's hand, and his body pressed down on the slugs, actually merging the three slugs into his body.

"You do it."

Zhou Qing was taken aback.

The Green Silk Gu returned to his body.

The next moment, the red spots on Zhou Qing's hand quickly faded, and in just a few breaths, the back of his hand returned to normal, without any pain.

"This is."

At the same time, the inscription on the jade tablet changed.
