With the old lady's extrely emotional shout, Shen Qiang didn't even have ti to say "Get up," and everyone in the room, including the old man who had crossed paths with Shen Qiang six months ago, without exception, knelt down, their eyes filled with admiration as they gazed at the Golden Cicada standing deftly on Shen Qiang's shoulder.
"The Divine Gu has descended, heaven has eyes, heaven has eyes!"
"The Divine Gu, the legendary Divine Gu, it actually exists!"
"She is so beautiful! It's the Divine Gu! Absolutely the Divine Gu, oh my, it's actually true, I never thought in my lifeti I'd truly see the Divine Gu!"
Watching their fanatical eyes.
Shen Qiang shook his head helplessly and said, "Golden Cicada, stand guard, don't let them disturb ."
"Yes, Master!" Golden Cicada soared into the air, standing proud in mid-air.
Everyone in the room knelt on the ground dumbfounded, looking up at her, murmuring prayers and paying their respects.
Shen Qiang had no ti to attend to them and didn't want to.
In fact, the Spirit Corpse Golden Cicada was originally an Exotic Treasure, requiring three hundred to refine, and not only that, Golden Cicada had undergone an evolution amidst the Plague Source, and further evolved by cultivating the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra, so calling her a Divine Gu was not wrong.
Calling her a Fairy was not wrong either.
Calling her a Demon was also correct.
So for those who spend their days playing with insects, seeing such beauty, charming, and capable of normal thought and conversation, treating her as a god is naturally expected.
The door squeaked open.
In an instant.
Those kneeling on the ground showed a trace of panic on their faces.
Even if only for a mont, even Shen Qiang, who had seen many things, couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle and his body beco cold.
Because what appeared before Shen Qiang was truly a terrifying scene.
Liu Siya, with beautiful features, whom Shen Qiang had once ordered Golden Cicada to kill the Iron Wire Gu, now lay pale-faced on the bed, covered by a dense layer of black beetles on her body. More terrifyingly, these insects were clearly biting her.
Those kneeling saw Shen Qiang frown, and one person urgently said, "Please, Divine Gu, save Liu Siya, who for so unknown reason is experiencing insect infestation. She can no longer endure; please, Divine Gu, take action!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang frowned.
And then, his mind flooded with the contents from the dical Saint Inheritance.
Insect Infestation!
Backlash from the Gu Master's refining.
Cause unknown.
The insect devouring the Gu Master is nad Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu, a kind of communal Gu Worm, unclear whether artificially refined or naturally occurring, rarely seen. Once they appear, it ranges from several hundred to thousands, specifically devouring Gu Masters.
Treatnt thod: Once encountered Insect Infestation, tried acupuncture technique, formation, herbs, all ineffective, treatnt failed.
This surprised Shen Qiang.
It was the first ti Shen Qiang found a treatnt failure case in the dical Saint Inheritance mory.
At the sa ti.
Upon hearing the request for Golden Cicada to rescue, an elderly man nearby imdiately erupted.
"Absurd! How can the Divine Gu risk herself! Moreover, this Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu specifically counteracts Gu Masters and various Gu!"
"Exactly, such a dangerous task cannot allow the Divine Gu to take risks."
Upon hearing their words, Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and said, "Golden Cicada!"
With a swishing sound, Golden Cicada transford into a streak of golden light, darting into the room.
In the blink of an eye, she flew back again.
Though she held in her hand two dead Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu, she nervously said, "Master, this insect is strange, I lose strength just getting close to them."
Looking at the visibly tired Golden Cicada.
Shen Qiang calmly said, "Then go rest."
Golden Cicada responded with a hum and instantly vanished, entering Shen Qiang's body.
anwhile, two Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu corpses were left in Shen Qiang's hand.
Seeing Golden Cicada disappear, everyone stood up, and an elder, watching Shen Qiang fiddling with the two small insects, hurriedly said, "Don't touch them; even dead, they'll cost you half your life!"
Almost simultaneously, Shen Qiang, observing the insects closely, keenly sensed a slight tingling at his fingertips.
This Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu, entirely dark and red-black, but its eyes are golden, the fine and long eyebrow areas are light green, nearly translucent, and upon closer inspection, hidden patterns can be seen inside, resembling jade carvings.
"Impressive, truly a Divine Gu!" The thirty-year-old man, his eyes eager, looked at the Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu corpses in Shen Qiang's hand and exclaid, "This is the first ti I've seen an insect or Gu turn the tables on Golden-eyed Jade Flower."
"That Golden Cicada is the Divine Gu! The god among Gu! Her ability to reverse kill two Golden-eyed Jade Flowers is already a miracle, but that's far from enough; there are at least hundreds of Golden-eyed Jade Flowers in that room, alas, poor Liu Siya, still young, dood to be devoured by insects."
Upon hearing these words, Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and asked, "Does this situation occur often?"
Everyone present shook their heads; perhaps since they had seen Golden Cicada, the person's gaze and tone towards Shen Qiang beca much more respectful.
"Mr. Shen, since you possess the Divine Gu, naturally you don't need to worry about these Golden-eyed Jade Flowers; we are different, every few years, these Golden-eyed Jade Flowers inevitably make an appearance, and each ti they do, a Gu Master dies for certain."
"Without exception?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow.
Everyone nodded and sighed, saying, "Without exception, no one can escape, and more terrifyingly, these Golden-eyed Jade Flowers can devour True Yuan, devour Gu Worms, so before them, we have no power to fight back."
"Indeed, moreover, these Golden-eyed Jade Flowers are impervious to water and fire, difficult to injure with knives and swords. Once entangled with such a thing, life is as good as gone," the parasitologist sighed, "So, when we discovered those insect Gu wound around Siya, we began preparing for her passing."
"Because she cannot survive tonight, it's just unexpected that this girl was still unwilling to resign and even used her Autumn Cicada to summon you, alas, it's just unfortunate, with the appearance of Golden-eyed Jade Flower, a Gu Master's death is certain, an unchanging reality for thousands of years."
"Yes, every Gu Master entangled with Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu will die; it's a well-known fact, never has anyone changed that."
Upon hearing their words, Shen Qiang smiled, "In this world, absolutely nothing is impossible; two hundred years ago, if you said ordinary people could fly to the skies, the answer would be impossible, and now, only a few hundred dollars for a plane ticket is enough."
Smiling and raising an eyebrow, Shen Qiang calmly said, "No matter how formidable a bug is, it's still just a bug; as long as the right insecticide is found, wiping them out is incredibly easy."
