Chapter 160: One Thing Conquers Another

Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen once again realized that he had read too little.

Although he had acquired a lot of common sense knowledge in the past two years, he had never heard of secrets like the Soul-Eating Ghost Gu.

"Senior Brother Xia, how to get rid of this soul-eating ghost Gu?"

Xia Lingkai sighed: "It is indeed not difficult to kill the soul-eating ghost Gu.

However, it is extremely difficult to kill the soul-eating ghost Gu without damaging the soul. "

"This soul-eating ghost Gu has no physical protection. You only need to pour the power of thunder into the sleeping person's body to kill the soul-eating ghost Gu."

“It’s just that the soul of the sleeping person has been entangled with the Gu insect.

When killing Gu insects, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses. "

"There are many methods like this, but no matter which one, it will inevitably hurt the soul."

Liang Qingyue also frowned at this time: "Is there a way to completely eliminate the soul-eating ghost Gu?"

Xia Lingkai nodded: "Of course there are ways, but it's not something that a few of us Qi Sea Realm monks can solve. We'd better report it as soon as possible."

Han Shouyang looked gloomy at this time: "I'm really having a bad time, I finally got promoted, but I encountered this kind of trouble.

Now I can't keep my official position, and my life may be at stake. "

Xia Lingkai said with relief: "Inspector Han, don't worry, these soul-eating ghost Gu should only be of the lowest level and can only threaten monks below the Condensing Yuan realm.

Condensing Yuan Realm monks, whether they have condensed True Yuan, Yuan Gang, or Soul Yuan, can effectively resist this kind of Gu insect. "

“Currently, they mainly threaten ordinary people and low-level monks.

In a short period of time, it caused huge casualties. "

Hearing this, Han Shouyang breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly took out the token and sent a message to Qinghe County, reporting on the soul-eating ghost Gu and asking for support from the superiors.

A female student next to her asked: "Then what should we do?"

Xia Lingkai chuckled: "Although this soul-eating ghost Gu is weird, it is very fragile and can be easily killed by the power of thunder.

Anything that can restrain ghosts will have a strong suppressive force on this Gu insect. "

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

From the mission information released by the academy, one can guess that this method is aimed at souls.

To dare to take on this task is to some extent have some defense measures for the soul.

However, Liu Yuanchen still frowned.

Although I have some defense against soul attacks, my parents and eldest brother's family do not have similar means.

Once this Gu spreads, all ordinary people and low-level monks in the Red Wasteland may be wiped out.

He asked again: "There is a solution."

Xia Lingkai nodded: "Of course there are, the soul-eating ghost Gu is not a big deal.

The key is the female worm, which can give birth to thousands of little worms in a day.

The newly hatched Gu insects can attack the souls of low-level monsters and ordinary people.

After each Gu worm swallows the souls of nine people, it can grow into a female worm.

The top priority is to get rid of the female worm as soon as possible. "

“If we can’t pull out the mother worm, there’s no point in killing the larvae.

Once the female worm dies, they will die naturally. "

Xia Longting asked quickly: "Where is the female worm? Let's kill it."

Xia Lingkai shook his head: "It's hard to find! The real name of Soul-Eating Ghost Gu is Soul-Eating Underworld Butterfly, and it is a spiritual insect that is very good at hiding.

Although it has the habit of devouring souls, it is not so terrifying.

Some evil cultivators capture tens of thousands of soul-eating underworld butterflies and let them devour each other.

The last surviving one will have a one in ten thousand chance of becoming the female soul-eating ghost Gu after undergoing various trainings.

This thing is an extremely rare species of monster insect in the Southern Region and lives in dense forests. "

“The appearance of barren land like Red Wasteland today must have been deliberately brought about by the demon clan or the Pantheon Cult.

They will definitely protect the mother worm closely. With our strength, even if we find the mother worm, we have no chance to kill it. "

Liu Yuanchen thought in his mind that when the Great Xia Dynasty settled in Chihuangyuan and established the Chihuang Hou Kingdom, they obviously wanted to gradually encroach on Chihuangye.

To cultivate the red wasteland, a large number of ordinary people will be needed.

The demon clan used the soul-eating ghost Gu as a powerful killing weapon, obviously intending to kill a large number of ordinary people.

Without the population, naturally there would be no way to continuously provide the power of incense.

Without the power of incense, the gods of land and water would not be able to create land or call for wind and rain.

Without water and soil, mortals would simply not be able to survive in the Red Wasteland.

Killing ordinary people in large numbers is digging up the foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Since the soul-eating ghost Gu has appeared in history, the academy system and the divine court must have countermeasures, right? We can imitate one or two."

Xia Lingkai nodded slightly: "There is indeed such a method, and the initial response method is also very simple.

As long as a lightning-attribute defensive formation is deployed, it can be guaranteed that the soul-eating ghost Gu cannot invade. "

Hearing this, everyone relaxed a little.

Any city protected by formations will have various defensive formations, and the lightning attribute defensive formations are no exception.

Since Gu insects are afraid of thunder, at least ordinary people and low-level monks are still safe.

Han Shouyang took out a message jade talisman and said, "I will order the formation master of the Inspection Department to set up a lightning-attribute defensive formation."

Thinking of his parents' safety, Liu Yuanchen quickly took out the jade messenger charm and sent the message to his family.

Let them gather all the clan members and set up a thunder-attribute defense formation at all costs.

As for the reason, Liu Yuanchen would not reveal it naturally, so as not to cause panic.

Just tell them to act according to his own will.

If there is any mistake, there may be a danger of extinction.

After all, the demon clan has already sacrificed the soul-eating ghost Gu, and it is impossible for them to only mess around in Yannan City.

It is estimated that they want to cultivate more mother insects in Yannan City, and then spread them on a large scale.

Yannan City is isolated and no mortals live there.

Only some casual cultivators died, which may have some impact on the establishment of Yannan County.

The Chihuang Marquisate and the Shinto system will not take it too seriously.

If Xia Lingkai had not recognized the Gu worm, I am afraid that by the time the Chihuang Marquisate took it seriously, I am afraid that there would have been corpses everywhere.

Even if the Divine Court sent the Ghost Ganoderma, the human race in the Chihuang Plain would have been seriously injured.

Afterwards, Liu Yuanchen pointed at the corpses on the ground and asked, "What's wrong with these corpses?

They are obviously dead, but they can still move."

Xia Lingkai sighed, "This is the power of the Gu worms. In addition to devouring the soul, they can also take over the soul and continue to command the seven spirits.

Although they have no soul, their bodies are not completely dead.

Even, the Gu worms can control the corpses and exert some of their strength when they were alive."

"These Gu worms are controlled by the mother worm, and they will even cooperate with each other to fight the enemy.

If their cultivation is not too low, it may not be so easy to solve."

Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen felt his scalp tingling.

If this soul-eating ghost Gu is allowed to multiply, then the Red Wasteland will be full of these walking corpses.

Xia Longting looked indifferent: "That's no big deal, just some zombies.

They are powerless against the army of my Great Xia Dynasty."

Xia Lingkai shook his head: "If that's all, the Soul Devouring Ghost Gu wouldn't cause huge losses.

I said before that these are just primary Gu worms, and their harm is limited."

Liu Yuanchen was stunned: "From what you said, these Gu worms will be upgraded?"

Xia Lingkai nodded slightly: "That's right, I said before that the larvae of the Soul Devouring Ghost Gu can also grow into new mothers.

And the new mothers can also continue to give birth to larvae.

This is just a continuous explosion in numbers, not yet It is considered particularly terrifying. "

"The most terrifying thing about the Soul-Eating Ghost Gu is that the mother insect can extract energy from the larvae.

The more souls the larvae devour, the stronger the mother insect will be.

The earliest mother insect can not only obtain energy from the larvae it gave birth to, but also from the second-generation mother insects.

As long as the mother insect or the larvae are its direct descendants, they can provide energy for them.

When the strength reaches a certain level, the mother insect can advance. "

"After the mother insect advances, the larvae born are second-level larvae.

Their soul-eating and speed will increase greatly, and they can directly threaten the cultivators of the Condensation Realm. "

Hearing this, Han Shouyang's face changed drastically.

I thought that this Soul-Eating Ghost Gu could not hurt me, but now it seems that I am only temporarily safe.

After the mother insect advances, the second-level mother insect produced can threaten the cultivators of the Condensation Realm.

Liu Yuanchen also fell into deep thought, and the second-level larvae can threaten the cultivators of the Condensation Realm.

The soul of a cultivator in the Condensation Realm contains much more energy than that of a cultivator in the Qi Sea Realm.

The larvae will grow faster by devouring the soul of a cultivator in the Condensation Realm.

Since the mother insect can advance, it is estimated that it can advance more than once.

Next, there may be a third-level larvae.

By then, I am afraid that the cultivators in the Lingtai Realm will also be finished.

"How many levels can this Gu worm grow to?"

Xia Lingkai shook his head: "I don't know, but the classics have mentioned that there are many records of Lingtai Realm cultivators being infected.

Moreover, it has only been about half a year since the appearance of the Soul-Eating Ghost Gu and the Lingtai Realm cultivators being infected."

"The advancement of the larvae will not only affect cultivators with higher cultivation, but also their ability to resist thunder and other forces will become stronger and stronger.

The classics also recorded that there were cultivators who were infected in places with thunder-attribute defense formations."

Hearing this, everyone took a breath of cold air.

It only took half a year to threaten the Lingtai Realm cultivators.

If they are allowed to grow, I am afraid that the top masters of the human race will be killed by this insect.

Liu Yuanchen wanted to leave this place quickly, run back to his family, take his parents and his eldest brother's family away, and then hide in the blessed land.

But on second thought, since there have been outbreaks of Soul Devouring Ghost Gu in history, the Great Xia Dynasty is still doing well now.

There must be a way to solve the Soul Devouring Ghost Gu, otherwise the human race would have been extinct long ago.

"Since Soul Devouring Ghost Gu has appeared in history, there must be a way to restrain them."

Xia Lingkai nodded repeatedly: "Junior Brother Liu is right, the human race does have a way to deal with Soul Devouring Ghost Gu.

The first outbreak of Soul Devouring Ghost Gu really caught the human race off guard.

But later, the Divine Court specially cultivated a means to deal with Soul Devouring Ghost Gu, that is Ghost Ganoderma."

Xia Longting was puzzled: "Isn't Ganoderma a kind of spiritual plant? Could it be that this Ghost Ganoderma is extremely toxic and can kill Soul Devouring Ghost Gu?"

Xia Lingkai shook his head: "Although Ghost Ganoderma is a Ganoderma, it is not considered a plant.

This thing is very different from plants, but it is still in the wood category.

The many methods of Shennong Technique can also speed up the growth of Ghost Ganoderma, but the effect is halved. "

"Ghost Ganoderma can kill Soul Devouring Ghost Gu, not by toxicity, but by the spores it emits."

Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen thought of Cordyceps sinensis.

Perhaps, the method by which this Ghost Ganoderma kills Soul Devouring Ghost Gu is similar to the formation process of Cordyceps sinensis.

"You mean, the spores of Ghost Ganoderma parasitize the body of Soul Devouring Ghost Gu?"

Xia Lingkai nodded repeatedly: "That's right, this Ghost Ganoderma is quite special and does not need to parasitize on dead plants.

But to grow up, it needs to absorb some Yin attribute energy.

For example, Yin Qi, Moonlight, the soul essence of cultivators, or the power of incense.

In addition, it directly erodes the soul.

Therefore, this thing has some restraining effect on ghost cultivators and gods. "

"If it is a living creature, the spores of Ghost Ganoderma can't do anything to them.

This thing cannot see too strong yang energy. The yang energy of an ordinary living person can burn it to death.

However, when the Soul-Eating Ghost Gu comes out to look for food, it is separated from the flesh.

Without the protection of the flesh, this thing is a living target for the Ghost Ganoderma spores. ”

Liu Yuanchen couldn't help laughing: "This is really a thing that can defeat another thing. All things are interdependent. No matter how weird a thing is, there is always something that can restrain it. ”

"However, the mother insect will not come out to look for food, so the Ghost Ganoderma should not be able to hurt the mother insect, right?"

Xia Lingkai chuckled: "This Soul-Eating Ghost Gu is naturally heavy in yin energy and extremely scarce in yang energy, which is not enough to burn the spores to death.

Even with the protection of the flesh, it still cannot escape the spores of the Ghost Ganoderma. ”

"The infected Gu insect will actively look for the mother insect, stay beside the mother insect, and no longer go out to devour the souls of living people.

When the Gu insect's soul is sucked dry, the mycelium of the Ghost Ganoderma will look for another target, and the mother insect will be infected without knowing it. "

"When the ghost ganoderma multiplies, the soul-eating ghost Gu will either go away or die."

Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen became interested in the ghost ganoderma.

Since Shennong's technique is useful for ghost ganoderma, perhaps the secret technique of enlightenment is also useful for ghost ganoderma.

Then we can cultivate some ghost ganoderma in the future for emergency use.

Xia Longting said hurriedly: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and find someone to send the ghost ganoderma over!"

Liu Yuanchen sighed: "How can it be that simple? We are in the Red Wasteland, hundreds of thousands of miles away from the capital of Luochuan."

Xia Lingkai shook his head slightly: "It's not that pessimistic. As long as this matter is reported to the God Court, they will definitely send the ghost ganoderma at all costs.

Don't forget that there are special passages between the God Court and the city god spirit realms in various places.

At critical moments, troops can be sent over in a short time.

It's not a problem to escort a small ghost ganoderma.

The ghost ganoderma will definitely be sent within ten days. "

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this Soul Devouring Ghost Gu is terrifying, its killing speed is not too fast.

In the sea of ​​consciousness of the sleeping monk, there are at least hundreds of Gu worms gnawing at his soul.

Even so, this kind of monk can only survive for a few days before dying.

In addition, the population of the Red Wasteland is sparse, so the growth rate of the Gu worms should not be too fast.
