"Yes, Snake Lord."
The two of them worked together to find a thick hemp rope.
One end of the rope was tied to the White Feather Chicken, and the other end was thrown into the well with a splash.
Yu Longting walked towards , his eyes deeply fixed on , "You didn't touch the well water, did you?"
"No, but Xiao Li seems to have accidentally touched a bit." I was sowhat worried about Xiao Li.
Yu Longting frowned slightly and grabbed my wrist, "A little bit should be fine."
"Oh." My wrist was firmly grasped by Yu Longting, so I gave up on the idea of looking for Xiao Li. "Did you buy the White Feather Chicken just to catch the Corpse Gu? Since you knew already, why didn't you tell us?"
"The well water is very deep, I didn't see any problem when I left." Yu Longting's eyes were deep and impenetrable, not allowing a single ray of light. "I was out buying groceries."
The town's night market was even busier than the morning market.
As the hanging lanterns lit up, the market was bustling with people.
"Those two Taoists... following us... was it because..." I looked towards the two Taoists standing by the well.
Yu Longting whispered, "Needed two more hands to carry things."
"Heave ho, heave ho!" Initially, Zhang Sibin was pulling the rope alone.
The space by the well was narrow, and it was cramped with more people around.
Later, Zhang Sibin exerted all his strength, veins popping on his forehead, yet he still couldn't pull up the thing in the water.
Wasn't that supposed to be a gu? I thought it would latch onto the lively White Feather Chicken, but now it just couldn't be pulled up.
Zhang Sanxia then went to help, and together, they pulled, shouting in unison, "One, two, heave ho, one, two, heave ho..."
Each of them had a red forehead, sweat pouring down their bodies, and even though it was cold, steam was rising from their heads.
Suddenly.
The Yin energy in the well surged.
Yu Longting and Zhang Zidao both narrowed their eyes simultaneously and rushed to grab the rope, forcefully pulling it outwards.
The mont the object in the well ca up, both of them were on high alert as if facing a formidable enemy.
One grabbed a Taoist and quickly retreated backward.
With that retreat, the murky water splashed by the object they pulled up didn't land on anyone.
With a heavy thud, a decayed bull's head was pulled up.
The bull's head was imnsely large, weighing at least a hundred pounds.
Thankfully, it was severely decayed; otherwise, it couldn't have been pulled up from the well.
The eerie thing was that the bull had clearly been dead for so ti.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so heavily decomposed.
But still, its mouth was tightly clenching the White Feather Chicken that had fallen.
At that mont, a putrid sll filled the air.
Ah Si and Ah San, the two Taoists, looked at the scene and sat down hard on the ground, "Wasn't it supposed to be a Corpse Gu? Why is it a bull's head?"
"Go get the axe." Yu Longting ordered emotionlessly.
Beichen responded imdiately, entering the house and coming out with a heavy axe.
The axe fell on the bull's head, carrying the imnse force of Beichen's body, imdiately splitting the skull in two.
A white, slippery, long worm twisted its body amidst the sticky brain matter and blood.
I swear, this was absolutely the most disgusting scene I had ever seen in my life.
I took a step back, my entire head spinning, and rushed out of the courtyard into the outside, retching, "Ugh~"
Next to , sounds of retching filled the air.
I looked around, and Ah Si and Ah San were vomiting even worse than , bile included.
Even Zhang Zidao couldn't stay in the courtyard; he too ran out and threw up.
Xiao Li vomited so hard tears and snot were all coming out, "Brother Chenn, I'm going crazy! How could there be worms in that bull's head?"
Beichen said, "I seldom deal with gu, so I can't tell why."
"Normally, blood-eating Gu Insects are raised with chickens and ducks. A bull is the foremost among livestock, and to raise a Gu King, a bull's head is essential."
I knew so things about gu and answered Xiao Li's question, my heart pondering, not all gu are as adorable as Xiao Yuanyuan and Xiao Honghong.
