Chapter 669 648: Gu Worm Categories

Doudou stuck out her tongue.

"Doudou, if we use Gu insects, can we still eat it?"

Another Miao person said helplessly.

Ren Feng's inner heart stirred, and he asked, "Why can't the things touched by Gu insects be eaten?"

"You don't understand. The environment for cultivating Gu insects is different from that of normal humans, and most of the Gu insects from Cuo Damu witch doctors are insects. The environment required to cultivate these Gu insects inevitably carries viruses, so we don't use Gu insects for hunting."

Wu Meng explained on the side, and he was quite kind-hearted.

Ren Feng nodded, recalling what he had seen in those water tanks yesterday, which made him feel a bit nauseated.

The group continued to walk into the forest, and Ren Feng asked, "Wu Meng, can you introduce me to Gu insects?"

"You want to learn?" Another Miao man said with a smile, "Even if you want to learn, the elders won't agree."

"No, I just want to ask." Ren Feng said, "Yesterday, I saw those water tanks in Elder Cuo Damu's courtyard, with many Gu insects inside, and even a venomous snake. I'm still a bit unclear about what exactly these Gu insects are."

"The snake you mentioned is a pet raised by Cuo Damu, not a Gu insect; the rest are." Wu Meng said with a smile, "You can actually think of Gu insects as a special type of creature with various abilities. In our Miaojiang, Gu insects are an indispensable part."

"Gu insects can be divided into many types. The ones you're seeing now are just ordinary Gu insects and not even at their mature stage, so they can't exert much power. The truly powerful Gu insects, you can't even see; you'd be unknowingly poisoned by them."

Hearing this, Ren Feng frowned slightly. These Gu insects were somewhat like Ganesha's Black Magic skills, where he was unknowingly cursed. At that time, if he hadn't entered the sunset state to cleanse the curse from his body, he would have died at the organization's base.

"Gu insects can basically be classified by type and application, such as food Gu, water Gu, air Gu, spore Gu, blood Gu, and so on. If mature Gu insects are applied properly, they can be extremely terrifying."

The group walked and talked, and as Ren Feng listened, he felt a bit alarmed. These Gu insects were indeed terrifying.

"Who passed down these methods of using Gu insects?" Ren Feng asked curiously, "Or has Miaojiang always known them?"

"Well, that's..." Wu Meng was about to speak but suddenly stopped. Liang Keqing smiled and said, "It's okay, he already knows about Thunder Mountain's existence."

"He knows?" Wu Meng was slightly surprised, then he smiled, "Since he knows, I'll tell you then. It's said that these methods of using Gu were passed down from the Origin Ancient Village on Thunder Mountain."

Thunder Mountain and Ancient Village again.

At this moment, Ren Feng's curiosity about Thunder Mountain was heightened to a new level. No matter what, he must go to Thunder Mountain.

"It's said that in ancient times, during the Yellow Emperor's era, a Heaven-Reaching Great Witch was born on Thunder Mountain and left many methods of using Gu and witchcraft on the mountain. Later, when the Miao Race people migrated in, they learned these methods. Gu then spread throughout Miaojiang," Wu Meng said with a smile.

A Great Witch?

Ren Feng also smiled. Such things were indeed elusive and mysterious.

"Okay, let's stop chatting. Ahead is the Hunting Forest, so let's go over there," another Miao youth shouted, and everyone rushed over with bows and arrows.

"As before, let's spread out and regroup here later to see who hunts the most," Wu Meng said with a smile.

"Okay, okay," Doudou jumped with joy, "Wu Meng brother, I'll stick with you."

"Alright, let's go."

The Miao youths scattered into the forest, and Liang Keqing glanced at Ren Feng, "You can follow me, I'll protect you."

"Thank you," Ren Feng said with a smile.

He followed Liang Keqing and walked deeper into the forest.

The natural environment in Miaojiang was unpolluted, and the air quality was high, with a lush and vibrant forest full of life.

Liang Keqing's archery skills were skillful, and soon a wild rabbit was shot down.

"We hunt so much; can we finish eating it all?" Ren Feng asked.

"What we have left over will be shared with other villagers; it's a part of our passed-down tradition," Liang Keqing said with a smile.

They walked for what felt like an indefinite time. Suddenly, in the forest ahead, a rippling lake appeared, not too big, with a stream gently flowing down from the mountain nearby.

Moreover, dense jungles surrounded both sides.

Liang Keqing's eyes lit up upon seeing the lake.

"Let's catch a few fish to take back. We can have fish soup tonight."

Liang Keqing approached the lakeside and was about to make a move when suddenly, a gaping mouth surged out from the lake.

This happened too quickly, and by the time Liang Keqing wanted to react, it was already too late, and the crocodile was about to bite her!

But suddenly, from the side, a figure rushed over. In an instant, it embraced Liang Keqing's body, and the two plunged into the lake together!

Plop!

Water splashed everywhere as Ren Feng and Liang Keqing hit the water, dodging the bite, while the crocodile fell back into the water. In an instant, the crocodile swam rapidly toward Ren Feng.

Ren Feng was still holding Liang Keqing, who, upon seeing the crocodile behind her, couldn't help but be startled.

"Be careful!"

Ren Feng turned, seeing the crocodile coming to bite again.

In desperation, Ren Feng unleashed a palm infused with True Qi directly onto the crocodile!

Boom!

The intense True Qi struck the crocodile, and with a violent splash, the crocodile was knocked back, colliding into a tree and breaking it in half.

Crack!

The tree was snapped in two, and the crocodile crashed to the ground, irrevocably dead.

The water splashed upwards by the impact rained down from above, instantly soaking Ren Feng and Liang Keqing's hair.

"Are you okay?"

Ren Feng looked at Liang Keqing and asked.

Gasping, Liang Keqing looked at Ren Feng in amazement, "You know martial arts?"

Ren Feng was taken aback, then nodded, "Yes."

"But you said you didn't know before? You lied to me?"

"I didn't lie to you. I never said I didn't, and I also can't use True Qi casually now, or I might trigger a strange illness."

Ren Feng explained.

Liang Keqing thought for a moment and nodded.

"Alright, you should let me go now."

"Oh."

Realizing this, Ren Feng released Liang Keqing. He couldn't help but look more at the soaked Liang Keqing.

Originally valiant and spirited, Liang Keqing seemed a bit more delicate at that moment.
