The Ascension of the Evil Path: Starting with Gu Refining

Ji Huan gritted his teeth, kicked the ground with his feet, and followed him with his tall figure.

He came to the insect nest for two purposes. One was to complete the task assigned by the old ghost above and find some spiritual sap; the other was to collect supplements to prepare for his second reincarnation.

Right now, he has not completed either of these two things, so how can he be willing to go back.

"His compound eyes are unusual. Instead of running around in the insect nest by myself, I might as well look for some benefits behind him." This was the reason why he followed Liu Feng.

Between the stacked insect holes, the insect paths are winding and difficult to navigate.

Ji Huan "Shi Moo" molted three times, the muscles of his limbs were strong, and the span of each step was huge. The powerful impact brought by brute force is definitely not as good as Liu Feng's.

But the more Ji Huan chased him, the more frightened he became. The figure of the young man in front of him gradually blurred and was about to disappear.

Although he has a stronger physique and faster movements, he is more than a step slower than Liu Feng.

"That's unreasonable! The strange Gu has shed its skin twice, and his vision has become much stronger."

There was only weak fluorescence in the huge cave.

On the insect path, Liu Feng's figure fluttered, and the twists and turns in front of him, or obstacles, did not have much impact on him. He ran almost without any pause.

"Yantong" sheds its skin for the second time, and his vision of movement is further enhanced. Before a person passes, his field of vision analyzes the details in front of him to determine how he should move through.

"Pengpeng..." Gu fire flew out like two thin snakes.

As soon as more than a hundred Gu insects rushed out of the corner, their wings were burned away by the bright red flames, and they all fell to the ground.

The Taoist formation removed most of the Gu insects, but it was inevitable that some would slip through the net. Fortunately, they were just scattered everywhere.

Liu Feng walked quickly along the rock wall on the left.

In the blink of an eye, at the end of the insect path, a cave similar to where he was before appeared.

"Found it." Liu Feng's eyes lit up, as he expected.

There are five waterways at the bottom of the large pool in the natural stone cave, leading to different locations, but the locations they lead to are not too far apart and have the same direction.

…

Inside the grotto, there is no water or stone path leading to the underground river.

Compared to the grotto where Liu Feng was before, this grotto was much larger, and the walls were covered with insect tendrils like tree roots.

Underneath the dense insect tentacles is a Gu pond with a radius of about thirty feet. There is a gap on the edge of the pond, which is connected to the waterway.

In the Gu Pond, dozens of cocoons were stacked up and down.

These cocoons are neither big nor small, just about the same size as a human, like a Gu master reborn in a cocoon.

At this time, the seven insect-transforming Gu masters looked confused and walked back and forth around the pool. Three of them gathered somewhere by the pool.

"Why does this woman become more nourished...the weaker her aura becomes..."

"On the twelfth day... no cocoons were seen."

"The waste...clean it up..."

In front of the three of them, a Gu Master who looked like a girl was unconscious, her petite body curled up motionless in the pool.

The strange soldier Gu that looked like a big cockroach was also lethargic, sticking to her back like a plaster.

The other Gu Masters who were stunned by the formation soon began to form cocoons and emerge from their bodies as soon as they entered the pool.

Even some Gu masters who had shed their skin for the second time and were not yet perfect were forcibly transformed into insects due to the power of the medicine in the medicine pool.

Only this little guy, after being soaked in the pool for twelve days, only showed a few insect lines on his skin.

The three insect-transforming Gu masters slurred their words, and one of them bent down and lifted the girl out of the Gu-raising pool, and walked straight to the insect den outside the grotto to feed her Gu.

But at this moment, none of them noticed that there was an extra person on the rock wall in the grotto.

"Is this turning into an insect? Or is it reborn?" The five insect legs on Liu Feng's back clasped the cracks in the rock and hung upside down above the grotto.

He was not in a hurry to save Zhou Wan, and his eyes fell on the cocoon above the Gu pond.

At a glance, there were thirty-seven cocoons in total. The Gu masters sent here should not be the same batch.

A dozen of the cocoons were broken open, and there was nothing inside. It was unknown what the final fate of these Gu Masters would be after they were reborn.

"Fifteen cocoons were broken open..." Liu Feng took a closer look at the color of those cocoons.

Different exotic Gu have different body colors, and the cocoons after spinning are also different.

Lu Yao's strange Gu is "Tu Mian", and Shen Yushu's strange Gu is "Mountain God". It is estimated that even if a cocoon is formed, the cocoon should be close to white and cyan.

Liu Feng glanced over the fifteen cocoons and found no white cocoons.

But he quickly locked onto one of the fifteen cocoons, which was a green cocoon. Looking inside along the break, he saw that there were a large number of ivy roots wrapped with minced meat inside the cocoon.

"Tengmu Jing! It's probably Shen Yushu. He has been reborn for the second time?" Liu Feng's eyes flickered.

He didn't know the difference between the Gu Master's natural rebirth and the drug's forced rebirth here.

But judging from the half-insect behavior of the people in Qujiacun, even if Shen Yushu was reborn as a second child, his end might not be that good.

Furthermore, Shen Yushu, like him, had not resolved the restrictions in his body, and was forced to reborn as a second generation with hidden dangers... Liu Feng couldn't help but think of the "fertilizers" in the Chonggu Medicine Garden.

"Hiss..." At this time, there was a sudden crack in the pool.

Liu Feng followed the sound and saw that what made the crackling sound was a fiery red insect cocoon next to the pool water.

"It can't be..." There were fine red lines on the big cocoon, and Liu Feng suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

The sound of "hissing" continued, and after a few blinks, the crack split the cocoon into two, revealing the scene inside the cocoon.

Above the rock wall, all nine eyes on Liu Feng's face suddenly opened wide.

Inside the cocoon was not a successful Gu Master at all, but a fiery red monster.

This insect is about the size of an adult. There are still human limbs hanging on the insect's belly, but most of the limbs are ulcerated.

But under the big insect's jaw, there was a vague human face.

"Chen Jing!"

Before he could see the face clearly, Liu Feng judged the identity of this strange insect because there was a soldier Gu on his side, which was the "Bamboo Snake".

But even if it is a soldier Gu, it cannot escape a miserable end.

The soldier poison "Bamboo Snake" in the cocoon has been catalyzed by the drug and turned into a deformed, swollen and ugly figure, just like its owner, who is dying!

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Before Liu Feng could take a closer look, dozens of insect tentacles shot out and penetrated into the cracked cocoon.

Amidst the continuous "pop" sounds, the young man who had almost transformed into an insect was completely pulled out of the cocoon.

An extremely painful groan sounded in the air, and the face under the big insect's jaw opened its eyes, as if it was about to wake up.

However, he didn't have a chance to open his eyes at all. The body that almost completely transformed into an insect fell apart in the next moment under Liu Feng's sight.

"call out."

"Whoosh..."

More insects shot out, like a group of snakes vying for food, the scene was horrific.

A piece of mutilated dough with most of it chewed off hit the rock wall with a "snap", and Liu Feng could see clearly that face, it was Chen Jing!

After a while, footsteps were heard in the passage, and the insect-transforming Gu master who had cleaned up the "waste" returned to the grotto.

Liu Feng took one last look at the mutilated face, his eyes numb, and quietly retreated along the rock wall above.
