The tall and strong man did not treat Su Rui as a child, but just urged him to drink. After the three of them drank a few cups of wine, the atmosphere became lively and they talked more.
Su Rui asked in a roundabout way several times before he found out that the tall and strong man was Hu Mei'e's elder brother, named Hu Juwan. He had become a disciple of Bai Gu Zhenjun and served under Bai Gu Zhenjun on weekdays. Occasionally, he would come back to Chuyundong to see Hu Mei'e when he had time.
This time when I came back, I passed by the volcano in the south and happened to see some surging light, which gave me an idea.
He had already planned to take Hu Mei'e to investigate, and since Su Rui happened to come to him, he planned to take him along as well, forming a three-person treasure hunting team or something like that.
Su Rui pondered, these two people have higher skills and more magic weapons than him. If he takes him with them and the spoils are not divided equally, wouldn't he lose his life as well?
He wanted to find an opportunity to refuse, but when he saw Hu Mei'e wink at him, Su Rui kept his words to himself.
The three men drank until their ears were full and their faces were hot. The tall and strong man became excited. He summoned a black wind and stood up to take the two men to hunt for treasure immediately, looking very impatient.
It took Hu Mei'e's persuasion to stop him, and he finally decided to wait for another hour until the smell of alcohol dissipated before taking any action.
After setting the departure time, Hu Juwan found a place to lie down and started snoring.
Hu Mei'e gave Su Rui a look and asked him to follow her out of the house.
"My elder brother has a generous personality, but he also holds grudges. If you reject him in person, he will probably be angry, and the consequences will definitely not be good! Please help me in this treasure hunt. If you find treasures, especially those of different kinds, I can help you and ask my elder brother to give you one. If the treasure cannot be divided or there are only two, I will give you some compensation after we come back. What do you think?" Hu Mei'e took his arm, walked down the stilt house, and whispered while leaning against the tree trunk downstairs.
Su Rui was a little reluctant, but he had to bow his head under the eaves. He felt a little regretful now. If he had known earlier, he would not have come here to look for Hu Mei'e. However, there is no such thing as knowing in advance!
He actually came here thinking of refining more black silk for Hu Mei'e as soon as possible so that he could ask her for the subsequent refining method of the Five Poisonous Insects and add some attack methods.
Forced to go treasure hunting this time, he thought for a moment and decided to go all the way. He then said to Hu Mei'e, "Now that things have come to this, I'm afraid I have no choice but to go! However, my cultivation is too low, and I don't have any decent means of attack. Before I leave, could you give me two treasures? That way, if I run into danger, I can save my life!"
Hu Mei'e stretched out her soft, scallion-white finger and tapped his forehead, scolding him, "You little brat, you only know how to take advantage of me! Seeing that you really don't have a decent magical weapon, I'll let it go this time. I won't bother with you!"
As he said that, he pulled Su Rui towards the Izumo Cave Mansion.
"Aunt, the twenty-four Green Flame Flying Forks that I practiced are my life-saving magic weapons and I cannot give them to you. I cannot give you the Green Scale Gu without my master's consent. You can choose any of the other magic weapons and Gu insects at will!" She said as she walked.
This was Su Rui's second time entering Hu Mei'e's Chuyun Cave. This time, he went deeper, bypassing eight or nine artificially excavated areas before Hu Mei'e led him to a place where Gu worms were raised. She said to him, "This is the Green Fly Gu, one of the best Gu worms I have raised. Green Fly Gu give birth to offspring, and even if the mother and offspring are separated, they will reunite. Therefore, the Green Fly Gu can be refined into a pair of flying wings. As long as the mother insect is controlled, even if the wings are broken, they will reunite on their own. It has countless uses."
After that, she took Su Rui to the next area. After entering, Su Rui found it was a snake cave. Hu Mei'e pointed at the snake cave and said, "This is the wire flying snake I raised. This snake can fly and is resistant to attack. The venom is also fierce. It is my most proud work. If you choose it, I can give you a pair!"
Seeing that Su Rui didn't say anything, he led Su Rui to a man-made cave. This time, they didn't find any poisonous insects, but several magical instruments and treasures. There were two flaming darts, a short spear emitting a chilling aura, a tattered small banner, a pale arrow, a small drum made of human skin, and a small net made of what looked like human hair, a total of six items.
Hu Mei'e didn't introduce them one by one, but let Su Rui choose by himself.
Su Rui didn't hesitate, picking up the mother-and-child darts but quickly putting them back down. The flames looked identical to those in the Jade Flame Flying Fork Hu Mei'e had used. As Su Rui held them in his hand, the Samadhi True Fire he had cultivated within his mind stirred, stirring in him the urge to devour the unholy flame.
Su Rui suppressed this impulse and naturally gave up on the mother-and-child darts. If he and Hu Mei'e used the same flame, and they fell out, wouldn't that kill her?
The cold pistol, emitting a strong Yin energy, seemed to be forged from the ghost bones condensed by the Ghost King. It matched Su Rui's inner Xuan Yin Qi quite well, but Su Rui didn't want it either. As for the tattered small banner, which seemed to contain several small skeletons, Su Rui was not very interested. The pale long arrow must be the most evil weapon. Su Rui could feel a stinging sensation when his fingers touched it. If he was hit by this white bone arrow, the evil energy would definitely enter his body, and he would die. The last human skin drum was unknown for what it was. Su Rui stretched out his finger and struck it. A dull "dong" sounded, and he actually felt a little drunk. Su Rui was horrified. Could this be an attack from the soul?
After looking at them one by one, Su Rui decided to go back to the area where Hu Mei'e raised the green aphids to take another look.
Hu Mei'e followed him. It was still an hour before the agreed time, so she didn't rush him.
"Aunt, if I choose this green aphid Gu, how many can you give me?" Su Rui looked at it for a while and asked Hu Mei'e.
"I have three green aphid queens, two of whom are sisters. The offspring of the green aphids they produce can be refined into flying wings after being raised and grown. This pair and the two nests of offspring they produce, totaling 72 offspring, can be given to you! The other green aphid queen is a mutant queen, and the offspring she produces have a trace of Gengjin attribute. They are excellent whether used as hidden weapons or refined into flying swords. If you want this mutant queen, you can only take the 18 offspring in this nest!" Hu Mei'e said.
Su Rui observed the mutated Green Fly Mother insect Hu Mei'e had mentioned and felt the sharp edges on its wings, which carried a silvery aura. At this point, he had made up his mind: "Auntie, I want these eighteen Green Fly Mother and Child Gu!"
"In that case, I will teach you how to control the green fly insect now!" Hu Mei'e nodded with some pain.
Then, she wrapped her palm with her true energy, carefully picked up the mutated green aphid mother Gu, and began to teach Su Rui how to control the mother Gu and how to raise the Gu worm.
