Chapter 792: Battle with Corpse Bugs

Zhou Wen and his companions at the foot of the mountain only heard the sound of crackling coming from the crater.

After hearing the sound, Gu Shanshui and the other two slowly retreated from the crater. As they retreated, they poured corpse oil on the ground, forming a thin line.

After a while, Gu Shanshui and the other two retreated and hid behind the rocks with Zhou Wen and the others.

Soon, there was a movement from the crater, and a bug crawled out of the crater.

"Isn't this a rhinoceros beetle?" Zhou Wen looked at the insect from a distance and saw that it looked very much like a rhinoceros beetle, with black armor on its body and a forked horn on the front of its head.

The bug crawled out little by little, crawled down along the corpse oil, and licked all the corpse oil on the ground clean.

Seeing the insects crawling down little by little, Gu Shanshui's expression became solemn, and Gu Lou and Gu He also looked very nervous.

Gu Shanshui looked at Zhou Wen, and Zhou Wen nodded slightly. Then Gu Shanshui took out a metal container that looked like a stove and a bit like a tripod. No one knew what it was.

While the corpse worms were still licking the corpse oil, Gu Shanshui placed the metal container in a crevice in the rock, and then poured dozens of bottles of corpse oil into it, almost filling the metal container.

The smell of a large amount of corpse oil immediately attracted the attention of the corpse worm. It spread its transparent wings and flew towards the metal container.

It landed on the edge of the metal container, stretched its head out, and sucked the corpse oil inside.

The container was a bit deep. After the corpse worms had sucked up half of the oil, they could no longer reach the corpse oil below and had to crawl into the container.

"Now." Gu Shanshui immediately signaled Zhou Wen to take action, and he also ran towards the metal container.

Zhou Wen let the bird fly over and land on the edge of the container.

When the corpse worm saw the bird, it was not as scared as the ordinary poisonous insects. It immediately confronted the bird with its fangs and claws. However, it was obvious that it was also a little afraid of the bird and did not immediately launch an attack and rush out.

In the time it hesitated, Gu Shanshui had already rushed to the metal container, holding the lid in one hand and sprinkling some powder of unknown substance into the container with the other hand, then covered the container with a snap.

Gu Shanshui held the metal container with one hand and wrapped a red rope around the outside of the metal container with the other hand, trying to tie it up.

The metal container suddenly shook violently. Zhou Wen directly summoned the Tyrant Behemoth and asked the Tyrant Behemoth to help Gu Shanshui hold down the lid.

With the help of Tyrant Behemoth's power, the metal container stopped shaking and only continuous clanging sounds came from inside.

Gu Shanshui didn't care about anything else and just wrapped the rope around the metal container, filling the metal container with red rope in circles.

According to Gu Shanshui's plan, the corpse worm has been trapped at this time. All he needs to do is take it back and tame it slowly.

But who knew that a crackling sound came from the metal container. Gu Shanshui's face suddenly changed. He knew that something was wrong, so he immediately made a decision and threw the metal container out.

The metal container exploded in mid-air, and the red rope broke into pieces. The corpse worm flew out from it, its fangs and claws bared, which was terrible to look at. It opened its mouth and spewed out a thick fog, covering Gu Shanshui.

"Retreat quickly, that's corpse fog." Gu Shanshui shouted and quickly retreated, while summoning dozens of strange poisonous insects.

After those poisonous insects came out, they tried their best to absorb the corpse mist, but after absorbing a little, they all collapsed and died.

The bird let out a strange cry and spewed out a golden flame. When the golden flame met the corpse mist, the corpse mist immediately caught fire and burned to nothing in an instant.

The little bird also rushed towards the corpse worm and pecked at it with its beak.

But who knew that the corpse worm was faster than the bird. With a flap of its wings, its horn hit the bird hard, knocking the bird away. The bird fell to the ground and rolled a long distance before stopping.

The little bird had never suffered such a great loss since it was born. It flew up with its feathers standing on end and sprayed a large amount of golden flames at the corpse worm, trying to burn it to death.

The corpse worm seemed to be a little afraid of the golden flame and did not dare to touch it. It flapped its wings to avoid the metal flame and flew towards Gu Shanshui who was retreating.

It seems that the corpse worms have a high IQ and know how to bully the weak and fear the strong.

Gu Shanshui hurriedly summoned his own poisonous insects to meet the corpse worms, but after his poisonous insects came into contact with the corpse mist sprayed out by the corpse worms, they immediately fell to the ground, twitching and dying, and were completely useless.

Zhou Wen watched from the side and found that the corpse mist sprayed out by the corpse worms was more like a collection of bacteria or viruses than a poisonous mist.

Once those bacteria and viruses invade the body of the insect, even the insect cannot bear it and will die quickly.

"Those bacteria and viruses should also be considered as poisons, right? This corpse worm is simply the mother of poisonous worms. The mist it sprays out contains a large number of poisonous worms. Apart from the bird's flame, it is really difficult for others to deal with it." Zhou Wen saw the bird fly over, spraying out golden flames, and directly burning the corpse mist.

Zhou Wen did not let the Tyrant Behemoth rush forward. Although the Tyrant Behemoth was very powerful, it was too huge. If it inhaled the bacteria and viruses in the corpse fog, no one knew what the consequences would be.

The corpse worm was the first poisonous insect that dared to fight the bird, but it was still very afraid of the bird's golden flame and did not dare to be touched by the golden flame. It used its speed to constantly change its position, trying to rush over and bite the bird.

The bird's speed was not as fast as it, but its flight trajectory was very strange. Zhou Wen looked at it for a while and then widened his eyes. The flight trajectory of this thing looked like his fairy from the sky.

"Fuck, a bird actually learned my flying fairy movement skills?" Zhou Wen was stunned.

The bird used the "Flying Fairy" skill and fought the corpse worm on equal terms. Its golden flames could not hit the corpse worm, and the corpse worm could not touch it at all.

"Master Gu, do you have a second plan?" Zhou Wen asked Gu Shanshui while the corpse worms and the birds were fighting.

Although he has many companion pets, it is not impossible to kill the corpse worms, but Gu Shanshui wants the living corpse worms, so there is no point in killing them.

"Even the Gu pot made of pure Yuan gold and the blood-thread rope I made of blood-thread Gu can't trap it. Even if I have a way to lure it over, it's useless." Gu Shanshui shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Hearing Gu Shanshui's words, Zhou Wen remembered something. He took out the gourd, handed it to Gu Shanshui, and said, "Try and see if you can use this to trap the corpse worms."

Gu Shanshui knew the origin of the gourd and was overjoyed to see it. However, he turned the gourd over and over again but could not find the hole.
