The sun is setting.

Dozens of withered insect shells remained in the empty courtyard.

A millstone-sized poisonous insect was lying on the side. It was pitch black all over, with the shell on its back shining with a black luster like fine iron. Its eight legs were like sickles grasping the ground, and bursts of fierce aura emanated from it.

This poisonous insect is exactly the corpse-controlling insect in Chen Luo's hand.

Under Chen Luo's "generous" infusion, the corpse-controlling insect shed its skin more than twenty times in a row, just like an onion shedding its skin.

Its size had also grown from the size of a thumb to its current size. However, after reaching this level, the corpse-controlling Gu would no longer grow. No matter how much spiritual energy Chen Luo injected into it, it would no longer shed its shell. At most, it would only increase in size a little.

Chen Luo's aura also improved from the previous two-worm Gu Master to the Gu King realm, which is the highest realm of the Insect Classic. It is a realm that many Gu Masters cannot reach in their lifetime. Even a genius like Chu Hong is stuck at the three-worm Gu Master realm. However, Chen Luo's Gu King realm is slightly different from the Gu King realm of others. According to the calculation of the Insect Classic, only Gu Masters who control four or more Gu worms can be considered Gu Kings.

Chen Luo has only refined one corpse-controlling Gu so far. The number of Gu worms is obviously lacking, but the quality is far beyond the scope of a normal Gu Master.

With the corpse-controlling insect in his hand, it is no problem for him to kill ten insects.

"The founder of this Insect Sutra has too narrow a vision."

Chen Luo looked at the half-alienated corpse-controlling insect and completely gave up its ability to control corpses.

Since there is no way to control the corpse, then stand up yourself!

Who says that the corpse-controlling Gu must control corpses? As long as you can fight, you can do it without controlling corpses.

The world is filled with icy cold water.

Chu Hong hid behind a huge rock covered with green algae. In front of her was brightly lit, and the building looked like jade, just like the Dragon Palace in mythology.

Zhong Shan stood next to her, and both of them exuded a completely different aura from before.

This is the sea.

Compared to the sea, the world they lived in was just a speck of sand. The powerful beings in the sea were not aware of their existence at all, and even the "tides" that occurred every once in a while were unconscious behaviors of the sea.

Those of them who live on land are like ants.

Try your best to resist the unconscious disaster in the sea.

"Coming soon."

Zhongshan arched his body, and a pitch-black centipede crawled out from his spine. The aura around him became as dark as the sea water, and the aura emitted by his scales became increasingly cold.

Chu Hong didn't say anything, but just moved half a step to the side, bringing herself closer to the shadow of the boulder. The power of the lava Gu began to beat in her chest.

This time they not only have to help themselves avoid disaster, but also help their three junior brothers and sisters collect monster skins.

Every time they entered the sea area before, Sima Mo would come along with them. The three of them would hunt sea monsters together, and they only needed to catch two more to go back. But this time, Sima Mo was seriously injured and dying, and his share was transferred to the two of them, giving them one more hunting task.

Click, click, click.

The sea water began to flow, and a low sound came from the front. Indistinctly, a shadow more than three meters tall could be seen slowly approaching their location.

Zhong Shan subconsciously wanted to take action, but was stopped by Chu Hong.

'Wait a minute.'

Chu Hong's voice rang in Zhong Shan's mind.

The centipede in Zhong Shan's hand that was about to fly out stopped instantly. He looked at Chu Hong in confusion, not understanding why he suddenly changed his plan.

"Something seems to be wrong."

Without Sima Mo's white moth clone to attract the enemy in front, the two of them could only use the Gu worm assassination method to sneak attack the sea monster. This method is very covert, but it has a fatal flaw, which is that there is no way to observe the enemy in advance.

The two of them did not take action, but the remaining ten Gu Masters could not wait any longer.

Three poisonous insects instantly flew over from the darkness and hit Shadow's head at once. The poison master who attacked from the darkness turned into a stream of light and rushed over directly.

This is the outskirts of the sea.

The sooner they acted, the safer it would be. When they got closer to the Dragon Palace, the monsters they encountered would be completely different from the little monsters guarding the gate outside. Any one of them could crush them to death. These people were all strong men who had survived several "tides" and naturally knew the ins and outs of this.

The Three Insect Gu Master who took action had a similar idea.

As long as he successfully kills one, he can leave the sea early.

bass!

A ball of orange-red flame appeared in the shadows, and the figure dragging the giant object stopped, and the firelight illuminated his face.

Everyone finally saw the blurry figure's face clearly.

It was a monster more than three meters tall, with black fish scales all over its body. It was dragging a huge coral reef in its hand. The sound they heard before was made by the monster dragging the coral reef.

"Master Shrimp?!"

A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the Gu Master who rushed out, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat.

The surrounding seawater seemed to come alive, transforming into long swirling ropes. These swirling ropes swept horizontally, sweeping over the flying Gu Master like a giant net.

The Gu Master had no time to dodge and could only redirect the power of the Gu worm as quickly as possible. The Gu worm that had originally flown out and landed on Mr. Shrimp's head suddenly lit up all over.

boom!!

A violent explosion occurred above Mr. Shrimp's head, and the aftermath caused the sea water to vibrate violently. Even the long vortex rope that was encircling the Gu Master's body paused for a moment.

Done?

Before he could finish his thought, he saw the stagnant vortex rope strangling him at a faster speed. The Gu Master who attacked him didn't even have time to scream before he was turned into a bloody mist.

Bang!

The shrimp master, holding the huge coral reef, walked out of the fire unscathed. The big rock he was holding in one hand also began to change, with poisonous thorns similar to seaweed growing on its surface. The firelight shone on the shrimp master's face, and his big mouth full of black scales cracked to the ears, revealing his sharp teeth that glowed coldly.

"Run! This monster is stronger in the water than outside."

Someone noticed something was wrong and quickly fled away. But how could Mr. Shrimp, who had already taken action, let his prey go? He took a few quick steps and swept the coral reef in his hand like a giant hammer and smashed it out.

boom!!

The seawater was hit by the hammer and a vacuum area was created. The half-moon-shaped sound waves rushed along the seawater. The three Gu Masters facing each other didn't even have time to react before they were smashed into blood mist. After the huge coral reef flew out, it drew a huge arc in the seawater, and then flew back in a rotation.

'Chance!'

Seeing the coral reef leaving his hand, Zhong Shan flew up and rushed forward. His figure was like a snake, as fast as lightning. The centipede-like poisonous insect in his hand suddenly stiffened and turned into a serrated poisonous blade.

The centipede's poisonous blade slashed on Mr. Shrimp's neck.

clang!!

The huge force sent back shocked Zhong Shan. This fatal blow didn't even cut through the fish scales on the opponent's body. The saw teeth brought out a series of sparks on the neck, causing the temperature of the nearby seawater to rise slightly.

Mr. Shrimp turned around and a long swirling rope appeared in his hand again.

"Walk!"

Chu Hong's voice sounded from a distance.

A force came from behind, dragging Zhongshan's body backward quickly. Just as the vortex of seawater formed and strangled him, a candle-sized molten light flew over.

boom!!!

The flames and the sea whirlpool collided with each other, causing a shocking explosion.

Instantly, the seawater in this area rose sharply like a volcano. Some ordinary sea fish that had not absorbed spiritual energy were swept in and cooked into scattered fish meat, emitting bursts of fragrance.

Mr. Shrimp, who was about to attack, took a step when the ground beneath his feet softened. The orange-red lava transformed into arms and grabbed his legs.

"It's harder to deal with than expected."

Zhongshan's body shrank back again, and the centipede insect that had turned into a poisonous blade also returned to his body.

The two hid in the dark, and the lava Gu on Chu Hong completely removed the aura from them.

"Why is Mr. Shrimp guarding the gate? Where are those little fish monsters!!"

A few Gu Masters who had escaped death in the distance had an idea in their minds. They wanted to kill some small fish monsters to save their lives, but they ran into Master Shrimp when they rushed in. They didn't do anything, but most of them died. This made them look very ugly, and they lost the courage to go deeper.

"what to do?"

Zhong Shan looked at Senior Sister Chu Hong.

If Chu Hong had not taken action just now, his fate would have been the same as the first Gu Master who rushed over, and he would have been crushed into blood foam by Master Shrimp's sea whirlpool.

"Wait, Mr. Shrimp's vision is very poor. If he can't find anyone, he will leave after a while."

Chu Hong had been observing Mr. Xia's movements. She was the first one to sense the danger and grabbed Zhong Shan.

On the mountain.

Chen Luo sat on the edge of the cliff and breathed in and out.

He had cultivated the Insect Sutra to its peak, and the aura of the Gu King realm was like an ocean that affected the entire mountain. The three disciples he had casually accepted as his disciples before were now all taught magical powers by him.

The spiritual power that the corpse-controlling insect could not consume was poured into his three disciples.

These three children, who originally didn't even know what a Gu Master was, were elevated to the level of Three-Insect Gu Master in just a few days under Chen Luo's brutal infusion.

The only thing missing is the poisonous insect.

However, Chen Luo felt that a qualified Gu Master did not necessarily have to use Gu.

He sent his three disciples, who had completed the training, down the mountain to collect information about the large tomb outside.

He himself continued to transform the Insect Sutra in the mountains.

call!

suck!

Another cycle was completed, and a black monster as big as a calf next to it trembled, and then there was no movement.

After so many days of transformation, the corpse-controlling Gu has become accustomed to the infusion of spiritual power. Its body has also transformed into another kind of creature. Now that this guy walks out, no one will ever equate it with a Gu worm. (End of this chapter)
