Because Ye Dongfeng didn't warn everyone beforehand about the corpse's head exploding, he was beaten up by the crowd. However, Ya Zi, who also failed to warn everyone beforehand, wasn't beaten up because he reported Ye Dongfeng.
When Yue Jiuling grabbed Ya Zi by the collar, he innocently said, "Tsk, this has nothing to do with me. Comrade Dongfeng told me not to say it."
Then, Ye Dongfeng was brutally beaten amidst a multitude of resentful gazes.
"Ouch~ I'm sorry, I just wanted to play a joke on you guys, tsk~ Don't pinch my arm, it hurts, ouch~"
Ye Dongfeng howled like a wolf after being ganged up on. Afterwards, he was sent to check the corpses. Rubbing his arm, which was red from being pinched, he said aggrievedly, "You guys are so cruel! You can't even take a joke! Waaah~ You don't love me anymore~"
Behind his rambling and pitiful act, Yue Jiuling generously rewarded him with a kick in the butt, while angrily cursing, "Get lost! You're joking with this, we're already being lenient by not killing you. Look at this place, all this disgusting stuff, how disgusting would it be if it got on us?"
Bai Xinyu also put her hands on her hips and said, "That's right, why don't you just stand there and not move?"
Even Yinni couldn't help but kick Ye Dongfeng: "If there's a next time, I'll feed you all that stuff on the ground!"
Little Cabbage was equally angry and said, "Brother Dongfeng, you've gone too far!"
Ye Dongfeng realized his joke had gone a bit too far, so he scratched his head and said, "Okay, I was wrong. How about I treat you all to dinner tonight? Now let's see what this thing is."
After the corpse exploded, it left behind not only brain matter and bodily fluids, but also some black worms mixed in with it.
"Huh? What is this thing? It's still alive. Why do I think they look a little strange?"
Yue Jiuling squatted down and carefully examined the disgusting things all over the ground. She suddenly noticed that the black worms on the ground were still wriggling, and then she realized that they looked a bit strange.
The worm is about the size of an adult's finger and is entirely black. It looks like an ordinary worm, but if you look closely, you will find that the worm has a face that resembles a human. Its small head actually has a human face with eyes and a nose!
Ya Zi also squatted down next to Yue Jiuling, staring at the insects with great curiosity: "Tsk, this is the first time I've ever seen insects like these. I never thought that someone as knowledgeable as me would encounter something I don't recognize."
Ye Dongfeng was already using a stick to poke at the insects. He said, "Could it be some kind of Gu worm? I've heard that Gu worms look very strange."
Hidden pulled out a transparent sealed bag and said, "Never mind what these things are, I think we should pack them up and take them back to study them."
Hidden said this and put on gloves to catch the insects, but he ran into trouble as soon as he touched them.
When the insects weren't touched, they stayed obediently in their original positions, at most wriggling their bodies. But as soon as the hidden hand touched one of the insects, the insect immediately jumped up and flew directly towards the hidden hand's head!
"Tsk!"
Fortunately, the hidden creature reacted quickly enough, condensing some demonic power the moment the insect took flight, blocking its attack, and then quickly and firmly pinching the insect!
"Damn it! Be careful, Hidden One! Hold on tight and don't let go! I finally know what this is! This is clearly a Ghost Gu!"
Mu Xiaoyi shouted, then quickly rummaged through a large pile of yellow paper talismans and threw them all onto the black insects on the ground and the insects hidden in her hands.
Upon contact with Mu Xiaoyi's talisman, all the insects contorted their faces, emitting painful screams.
The scream was thin and unpleasant, making it unbearable for everyone present. Fortunately, the talismans were also very powerful, and after screaming for a few seconds, the insects all turned into black mist and disappeared.
Hidden, his face dark, stood up and rubbed his ears. He said, "Damn it! What the hell is this ghost gu? Is it a type of gu worm?"
Seeing that all the ghost gu had disappeared, Mu Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, ghost gu, as the name suggests, are gu worms cultivated on ghosts. You should know how gu worms are made, right? The way ghost gu are made is different from the way ordinary gu worms are made, and their power is much stronger than that of ordinary gu worms."
Everyone present had heard of the common method of making Gu worms. The process involves putting many poisonous creatures such as snakes, insects, rats, and ants together and letting them fight each other. The last one that wins becomes a Gu worm. Because Gu worms contain potent poison, those who make Gu worms control them to do things for them.
"Ghost Gu?" After hearing Mu Xiaoyi's words, Ye Dongfeng understood. He said, "I've actually heard of this thing before, but I've never seen it. So, this classmate died from Ghost Gu?"
Mu Xiaoyi shook her head and said, "I'm not too sure about that either. Although she did have ghost energy on her body, the ghost energy on those ghost gu was not as much as on the original corpse. So I think the murderer is not just ghost gu, but may have other ghosts."
Yue Jiuling didn't understand the Gu techniques of the human realm very well, but she knew it was a very evil spell. She said, "So what do we do now? The ghost Gu is dead, so how can we trace its origin?"
