Chapter 672 651: Gu Worm Contest
What's going on?
Liang Keqing and the others stopped in their tracks when they saw this scene.
"Wu Tian, take some people and send Wu Tian to the Cuo Damu Witch Doctor."
Wu Meng said with a frown.
Wu Tian and his group nodded, while Ren Feng, Liang Keqing, and Wu Meng headed towards the square.
This square is the largest in Taijiang Village, where important meetings are usually held, and where the village chief announces situations. Now, the elders of the two factions in the village were facing off here, each with their own group.
"Mr. Miao, what do you mean?"
Mr. Wu asked calmly.
"Mr. Wu, what do you think I mean?" Mr. Miao replied calmly, "I called you out today to clarify that the matter of the village chief position cannot be delayed any longer and should be resolved."
"You're too hasty." Mr. Wu's expression remained indifferent.
"Wu Kaiyuan, am I hasty? How many years has the position of village chief been vacant? What do the other villages in our sect think? I'm telling you, other villages have been eyeing the position of sect leader for a long time." Mr. Miao said coldly.
Behind Mr. Miao stood a group of people, all staring coldly at Mr. Wu's group, both sides like fire and water.
Mr. Wu's expression remained calm: "So you called us out today just to resolve this issue?"
"That's right, even according to the rules, the seriously ill and comatose village chief meets the criteria for appointing a new one!"
Mr. Miao said coldly, with many men from his faction echoing loudly, "That's right, we want a new village chief!"
Mr. Wu said calmly, "Since that's the case, I assume Mr. Miao, you have already decided in your heart how to resolve it? Tell us."
"Wu Kaiyuan, I know you don't accept me, and of course, I don't accept you." Mr. Miao said lightly, "Both of us want to be the village chief, so let's follow the village rules: whoever is stronger becomes the chief!"
Mr. Miao stared at Mr. Wu: "Let's duel with Gu insects, best of three, whoever wins two rounds becomes the chief, and the loser must accept it!"
Mr. Wu looked at Mr. Miao, then said in a deep voice: "Alright, since that's the case, let's duel with Gu insects!"
Mr. Miao waved his hand, and immediately, his group retreated, clearing the area, and so did Mr. Wu's side, leaving an open space in the middle.
Wu Meng was somewhat anxious and had already run to Mr. Wu's side. Miao Wei from Mr. Miao's side saw Wu Meng and his face darkened slightly.
These people aren't dead?
Ren Feng and Liang Keqing stood to the side, watching the scene, surprised that both sides were going to use Gu insects to duel?
A man from Mr. Miao's side brought up a jar and placed it on the ground.
Once the man stepped back, Mr. Miao opened the jar, and suddenly, a bizarre Gu insect, the size of a fist, flew out!
This Gu insect looked like a centipede, with large claws on its front legs, four black wings on its back, looking quite peculiar!
"Oh my, it's a Ao insect!" Some Miao youth around exclaimed.
"Did Mr. Miao actually cultivate such a Gu insect?"
"Mr. Miao is indeed well-prepared. Mr. Wu is in danger this time."
Ren Feng felt puzzled hearing these words, and asked a Miao youth beside him, "Is this Ao insect really powerful?"
"The Ao insect is a kind of Gu insect that's not often seen. Especially this one cultivated by Mr. Miao, it's extremely powerful against other Gu insects at least."
Liang Keqing, standing nearby, said with a somewhat grave expression.
"It's very difficult to cultivate this Ao insect. One must seal many poisonous insects in a closed jar, add some special herbs to stimulate ferocity, provide food, and after a year, a centipede-like creature emerges, known as Ao insect, but that's just the start."
Liang Keqing explained: "At least nine Ao insects need to bite and fight each other, and the one that survives in the end becomes mature and more ferocious."
At that moment, the Ao insect suddenly opened its wings, hovering in the air. Ren Feng's heart quivered as if a dangerous aura emanated from the Ao insect.
The Gu insects of Miaojiang are indeed numerous and varied, with endless possibilities.
"Mr. Wu, my Gu insect is this one, send yours out."
Mr. Miao said lightly, with a smile on his face, confident of victory in this battle.
Mr. Wu looked somewhat grim and directly sent someone to bring a jar. Once it was opened, a Gu insect flapped its wings and flew out.
This Gu insect resembled a large mosquito, entirely black, with a long and sharp proboscis, looking unsettling.
"Your Gu insect couldn't match my Ao insect."
Mr. Miao said coldly, waving his hand, and instantly the Ao insect flew towards the Gu insect.
The two Gu insects fought in mid-air, transforming into shadows as they danced at high speed, their movements invisible to ordinary bystanders.
Ren Feng watched the two Gu insects in mid-air. After a tangle, the Ao insect suddenly appeared above the black mosquito, biting down fiercely.
In just a moment, the black mosquito fell from the air. Both Gu insects landed on the ground, the Ao insect still biting the black mosquito, from which a black, poisonous liquid was flowing.
"Mr. Wu lost, huh."
"Mr. Miao really came prepared, no wonder Mr. Wu would lose."
Seeing the black mosquito being thoroughly restrained, finally motionless, Mr. Miao laughed heartily: "Mr. Wu, you've lost the first round. If you have other Gu insects, go ahead and use them; I'll count them as part of the first round."
Mr. Wu didn't speak, his face a bit sour. Wu Meng frowned, "Mr. Miao, you've even cultivated an Ao insect, giving us no time to prepare, this duel is unfair to us."
"What, do you want to go back on your word?" Mr. Miao's face quickly soured, "Mr. Wu himself said it just now, everyone heard it, you can't back out! Three rounds, one remaining, if you're not convinced, send out another Gu insect!"
"You!"
Mr. Wu's people became somewhat angry. It was clear Mr. Miao intended to crush Mr. Wu and his group, and this Ao insect left them with no means to counter.
Mr. Wu's face was calm: "Mr. Miao, you have good means indeed."
"Are you conceding?" Mr. Miao scoffed, "In fact, for the remaining round, you needn't even compete, for you'll still lose."
Mr. Wu's group was silent; Mr. Miao was right, with this Ao insect, their Gu insects couldn't stand up to it.
"For the next round, what Gu insects do we have?" Wu Meng's mind raced, while worry was evident on others' faces.
"Who among you will face me in the final round?" Mr. Miao glanced over from Mr. Wu to the people behind him.
"I, I'll compete with you in this final round."
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
