Chapter 776 The Bird Gets Angry
"Zhou Wen, did you find anything?" Everyone in front stopped, and Li Mobai looked at Zhou Wen and said.
"Something seems to be wrong ahead." Zhou Wen pointed ahead and said.
Gu Shanshui stared ahead, but didn't seem to see anything. However, he quickly summoned a companion pet, which turned into a mirror pupil and appeared in his left eye, making his left eye look like it was completely occupied by the pupil.
Gu Shanshui looked forward again with his left eye for a while before saying, "There's definitely something wrong up ahead. You two stay here for now. I'll go over and take a look."
Gu Shanshui said as he dived forward. Not long after, he dived back and said to Li Mobai, "Zhou is right. There is something wrong up ahead. There are many dead bodies covered with jellyfish fungi. There are too many of them. We can't handle them."
Die said, "We also have fire-type companion pets that can help you clean up."
Gu Shanshui shook his head and said, "You must not use fire-type companion pets here, otherwise you might get into big trouble. Although the fire-type companion pets we use are not of high level, their fire attributes are very special. They are called corpse fire, a kind of Yin fire that is most effective against parasites on rotting corpses."
"Master Gu, is there any other way?" Li Mobai asked.
"We can only take a detour. If we take a detour, we will have to walk an extra thirty or forty miles, and we may have to pass through a dimensional area called Soul-Absorbing Valley. The travel speed will not be too fast. It will take at least ten hours longer than expected. There are also some dangers in Soul-Absorbing Valley. If we are unlucky, we can only go back." Gu Shanshui said after calculating.
"Is there no other way? The Soul-Absorbing Valley is too dangerous, and we may not be able to get through." Li Mobai had also heard of the reputation of the Soul-Absorbing Valley and didn't want to go there.
"If we don't take a detour, we can only remove the jellyfish fungi, but we can only deal with them slowly from the outside. It will probably take two days to clear all the jellyfish fungi on the road, and we don't know if there are any more behind." Gu Shanshui said.
Li Mobai thought for a moment and said, "Then let's clean up the jellyfish fungus. It's better not to go to the Soul Absorbing Valley."
"I have a fire-type pet here. Master Gu, can you please help me?" Zhou Wen released the bird from his backpack.
After Tai Sui was promoted to a myth, he seemed to have no appetite for ordinary microorganisms. These jellyfish fungi only grew from spores emitted from the mother body, and were not the real bodies of dimensional creatures, so Tai Sui had even less interest in them.
Tai Sui: Mythical level (evolvable).
Fate: Fate offends Tai Sui.
Life soul: Twelve Tai Sui gods.
Wheel of Fortune: Immortality Seed.
Strength:81.
Speed:81.
Physical fitness: 81.
Vitality: 81.
Talented skills: Earth escape.
Companion state: mimicry.
Zhou Wen tried Tai Sui's Wheel of Fortune, but didn't find any special effect. It was the same as not using it at all. Tai Sui's body didn't change at all, which made Zhou Wen very depressed.
"Didn't Master Gu already say that ordinary fire-type creatures cannot be used here? Didn't you hear it just now?" Gu Lou said somewhat unhappily.
Zhou Wen had not listened to Gu Shanshui's advice to put the bird and Tai Sui away before, and seemed to be very distrustful of them, which made Gu Lou have a very bad impression of Zhou Wen.
Now Zhou Wen actually took out a fire-type pet, which naturally made Gu Lou even more disgusted.
Gu Shanshui did not share the same opinion as Gu Lou. Zhou Wen's ability to discover the jellyfish fungus in advance made him feel that this young man was extraordinary.
Moreover, people like Li Mobai seemed to respect Zhou Wen very much, which made Gu Shanshui even more afraid to underestimate Zhou Wen.
Gu Shanshui stopped Gu Lou, looked at the bird and asked, "Does your pet's flame belong to the category of Yin Fire?"
"I'm not too sure about this, but its flame can be controlled freely, so it should be able to play a role." Zhou Wen said.
"What's the use of being able to control the power freely? Whose companion pet can't control the power freely? Do you have any common sense? There are a lot of spores here, gathered together like a large number of fans. Using ordinary flames can easily cause a dust explosion. Even if there is no dust explosion, igniting a large area of spores will cause a forest fire, which can easily alarm the dimensional creatures in the forest..." Gu Lou said.
"Gu Lou, don't be rude to guests." Gu Shanshui frowned.
After hearing what Gu Shanshui said, Gu Lou had no choice but to shut up and stop talking, but from his expression, you could tell that he was very unconvinced.
Gu Shanshui bowed to Zhou Wen and said, "Zhou, Gu Lou is young and inexperienced, so please don't take his rude words to heart. But what he just said is true. Ordinary flames can indeed cause many problems. If you are confident, you can let your pet give it a try. If you are not sure, we will be responsible for the cleanup. It doesn't matter if it takes a little longer."
"Master Gu, I also know some taboos about using fire. Didn't I just say that my pet can control its own fire and will not cause explosions or fires?" Zhou Wen had seen the fire of the bird, so he naturally knew that it had such ability.
"Then let's give it a try and let it spit out a little flame first." Gu Shanshui said.
Zhou Wen signaled the bird to spit out flames, but the bird's temperament was not as good as Zhou Wen's. Its IQ was not worse than that of humans. Although it could not speak human language, it could understand it.
Gu Lou's words made it very unhappy. As soon as Zhou Wengang signaled, the bird flapped its wings. It had no intention of spitting out flames for Gu Shanshui to verify. It flew directly to the corpses and spit out a ball of golden flame from its mouth.
"Not good!" Gu Shanshui, Gu Lou and Gu He were all horrified.
There were nearly a hundred corpses there, covered with countless jellyfish fungi of all sizes. When burned by the flames, a large number of jellyfish fungi exploded. Even if there was no dust explosion, a large number of spores would spread out.
But the next scene left them all stunned.
The bird's golden flame fell on the corpse, igniting the corpse and the jellyfish fungus together. The strange thing was that the jellyfish fungus did not explode when it encountered the fire, but quickly burned to ashes in the golden flame.
Nearly a hundred corpses, along with the jellyfish fungi on them, were burned to ashes in a moment, leaving nothing behind.
Moreover, the golden flame only burned the corpse and jellyfish fungus, and did not affect the nearby creatures at all. Even the other spores in the air were not ignited.
Gu Lou and Gu He were stunned. Even the corpse fire they used did not have such a good effect, and it was impossible to eliminate all the jellyfish fungi and corpses so quickly.
Gu Shanshui stared at the bird with a strange expression. After a long while, he suddenly turned to Zhou Wen and saluted, saying, "Mr. Zhou, if I am willing to escort you across the Flower River into the Valley of No Return, could you do me a favor?"
Gu Lou and Gu He were both shocked. Outsiders did not know what this etiquette of Gu Shanshuixing meant, but they knew it very well. This etiquette was of very high standards in Mengsa and was usually used for monks with great merits.
Sorry for keeping you waiting for a long time. Go to bed early. Good night.
