Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 58 Jiuli World
The sun sets in the west and it’s night.

After reciting scriptures and practicing martial arts under the moonlight, Lu Cheng changed out of his Taoist robe, put on a nightgown and went to sleep.

But tonight, when he was sleeping soundly, he faintly heard someone calling him. He concentrated and tried to listen carefully, but he could not make out the other person's voice clearly.

However, the call became more and more urgent and anxious, and at the same time, Lu Cheng felt that the other party was very familiar.

"Okay, okay, I'll help you."

As this thought moved, a beam of red light suddenly burst out from between the Taoist's eyebrows on the bed. After turning a circle in the air, the red light returned to the Taoist's arms:
This is a world with four suns and two moons. It is hot during the day and freezing cold at night, so few creatures in this world can survive.

In a deep pit on a hill, a certain unlucky Taoist felt that every part of his body was in pain at this moment. This was something he had not experienced for a long time.

"It hurts so much. Did my breath go astray and I became possessed again last night?"

Lu Cheng opened his eyes and saw an extremely terrifying silver monster waving its pincers in front of him.

"evildoer."

"Here comes the sword!"

He wanted to make sword gestures, but it was no use. Lu Cheng only felt that his hand had become much shorter. He turned his head anxiously and saw that his original palm had turned into - a kamafoot?
His body instinctively stepped back, but as he turned his head, Lu Cheng saw his current appearance through the accumulated water in the pit.

It looked extremely familiar, a light golden insect with hideous spikes all over its body.

It was at this moment that a large amount of confusing memories flooded into my mind:
Born, recognized the master, that strange Taoist, wanted to bite him to death but couldn't. Angry...

First hunt, tasting blood.

That strange Taoist sent his subordinates to himself.

That strange Taoist took me hunting and tasting blood.

Maybe I should give him something too...

A large amount of information entered his mind and was then barely transformed into a form that Lu Cheng could understand.

Gradually, Lu Cheng began to understand who had been calling him before and why he came here.

The poisonous golden silkworm Gu, the earth-burrowing silver scorpion and the hidden-winged centipede, these three originally dominated the world, wantonly releasing their own living natures and plundering the blood and food in this world.

This world of deserts and hills may be barren, but it makes them happy, until a group of fire ants arrive.

Flying in the sky or crawling on the ground, they are not powerful individually, but they often attack in groups of hundreds or thousands. When the three of them, the Golden Silkworm Gu, encountered the Fire Ants, it was like bandits and bullies encountering the regular army. They were crushed without any chance to fight back.

After barely escaping, the Golden Silkworm Gu, which was filled with hundreds of poisons, was almost dead, but at the last moment it thought of a Taoist priest, and then the Taoist priest's will was drawn into the cauldron.

"I'm not busy enough with my own affairs, and now I have to clean up your mess."

Lu Cheng complained like this in his heart, but he also wanted to explore the secret and power of the Jiuli Ding.

He has a mountain of gold but can only pick up some gold particles from time to time. Although he is content, Jiuli Ding doesn't seem to mind exploring more.

"A colony of fire ants?"

While Lu Cheng was thinking, the centipede returned to the temporary nest carrying a gerbil in its mouth.

Lu Cheng controlled the body of the poisonous golden silkworm Gu, suddenly pounced on it, bit the hidden-winged centipede, and injected a small amount of venom into its body.

The venom produced in the body of the Golden Silkworm Gu is extremely poisonous, but if injected in small amounts, it can form a pheromone to control other insects.

He was currently in a severely injured state, and if the Earth-Escaping Silver Scorpion and the Hidden-Winged Centipede got out of his control, it would be a lot of trouble. Therefore, Lu Cheng first attacked the Hidden-Winged Centipede, and then the Earth-Escaping Silver Scorpion.

After confirming his absolute control over the two poisonous insects, Lu Cheng began to swallow the dead mouse. From a human perspective, this was really a terrible experience, but for the body of the Golden Silkworm Gu, when the flesh and blood were swallowed, it felt a huge pleasure, and the whole insect was in a daze with pleasure.

"Just eating will cause a large amount of dopamine to be secreted in the brain. In this way, the happiness of humans and insects is actually the same. It can even be said that humans cannot obtain as much dopamine secretion as insects through normal eating." "If you swallow blood food with magical power, the pleasure should increase exponentially. Isn't that no different from humans taking drugs?"

The swarm of fire ants that the Golden Silkworm Gu could not deal with was not difficult for Lu Cheng to deal with.

The same power is different when used by humans and by insects.

For example, it can use its own venom to form pheromones to control other insects. The poisonous golden silkworm Gu only controls the earth-burrowing silver scorpion and the hidden-winged centipede.

But in the process of recovering from injuries, Lu Cheng discovered by gradually reducing the dosage that due to being controlled by the poisonous golden silkworm Gu for a long time, the earth-burrowing silver scorpion and the hidden-winged centipede had already developed a certain inertia.

Therefore, even if the dose of injected venom is not enough to control them, they still tend to obey the golden silkworm Gu.

Then, this game of chess will be easy to break.

After recovering from his injuries, Lu Cheng controlled the poisonous golden silkworm to search for insects in the sand dunes that had unique abilities and were relatively easy to control:

Two iron-backed mantises, an ice spider, and a ghost-faced moth, this is basically the limit of the current control of the Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu.

Even the earth-burrowing silver scorpion and the hidden-winged centipede will leave the golden silkworm Gu after a long time because the injected venom is scarce.

But as long as they are willing to obey orders for a short period of time, it will be enough. Lu Cheng has no way to summon the Jiuli Ding for these insects, so it is enough to help the Golden Silkworm Gu solve the Fiery Ants.

After collecting the insects, Lu Cheng indirectly controlled the ice spiders to weave a large number of webs among the dark rocks.

This kind of ice spider rests during the day in this world and weaves its web at night. Once it has enough food reserves, it will no longer kill.

But it didn't work this time. Lu Cheng almost died while controlling the ice spider to weave a web. The pile of rocks was covered with a web of ice.

Taking advantage of this geographical advantage, Lu Cheng first let the centipede lure the flying ants among the fire ants:

He was bound by an ice spider web and two iron-backed mantises were killed. The situation became completely chaotic and then the ghost-faced moth flew out and released poison powder. Then he was besieged by the earth-burrowing silver scorpion, the hidden-winged centipede and the poisonous golden silkworm Gu.

First kill the flying ant colony, then the soldier ant colony. The number of fire ants is indeed large, but no matter how fertile the queen ant is, it is impossible to keep up with the killing day after day.

After a few days, the fire ants took the initiative to withdraw from the hill.

When Lu Cheng's spirit turned into a ball of red light and broke away from the poisonous golden silkworm Gu, Lu Cheng could even feel a kind of "admiration" coming from the Gu's faint emotions.

The insect cannot disguise itself, and it gave Lu Cheng a big gift on the second day.

The next day, early in the morning at Wenjianzhai.

When Lu Cheng woke up from his bed, he found a rotten fig-like fruit in his hand:

There is no spiritual energy, no spiritual energy, no spiritual energy. In other words, if this broken fruit is thrown on the main road in the city, it is very likely that even the beggars in the city will not pick it up.

But Lu Cheng didn't care much about it. The way of thinking of the Golden Silkworm Gu is very different from that of humans.

From its perspective, this rare thing similar to fermented fruit is a treasure more precious than the Ice Soul Crystal.

"At least I know what to feed him next time."

"If that fire dragon encounters danger in the Jiuli world, can I also possess its body?"

The way of heaven for all living things and the body of true spirit are not just empty words.

Although the human race is known for its innate Taoist body, and all the monsters in the world must cultivate and evolve towards the human race, there are also powerful innate spirits such as dragons, phoenixes, Kunpeng, and unicorns in this world. If one could attach himself to them, then just by relying on his innate physique, he could gain a deeper understanding of the operation of Taoism in this world.

"This is one of the powers of the Jiuli Ding. As long as it is used a little, it can create a genius in cultivation. Of course, the prerequisite is that there must be these powerful true spirits in the Jiuli Ding."
