Chapter 794 Dragon King Gu
What Gu Shanshui was worried about finally happened. The huge shadow was slowly rising from the bottom of the river.
With its arrival, the poisonous insects that had been crowding around the wooden boat scrambled to flee, quickly disappearing without a trace. The river, which had previously been calm, began to form waves, which grew larger and larger.
Seeing such obvious signs, Li Mobai, Gu Shanshui and others obviously realized the seriousness of the problem and stared at the river with serious expressions.
Crash!
The huge waves pushed the wooden boat to the side. If Gu Shanshui had not tried his best to control it, the wooden boat would have capsized in the river.
Li Mobai, Die and others used their companion pets to block the river water from falling into the wooden boat, ensuring that the people in the wooden boat would not be splashed by the river water or flooded into the boat.
But soon, everyone's attention was attracted by the scene before them. They saw a huge body stretching out above the river, looking at them like a god. In front of it, humans and even the wooden boat were as small as ants.
Although most of its body is still in the river and its full appearance cannot be seen, just the exposed part is enough to shock people.
It was a dragon, but not entirely a dragon. It had the appearance of a dragon, but its body was not made of flesh and blood. It had no dragon scales and no flesh and blood. It looked like a dragon made of coral, dazzling, strange and bizarre.
Zhou Wen has seen many dragons, including the white dragon in the Old Dragon Cave, the black dragon in the underground sea, the Zhulong in the Zhulong Palace, and even the giant dragon in the west.
But no matter what kind of dragon it is, it cannot be as strange and beautiful as the dragon in front of us.
The color of its coral-like body changes with its mood, sometimes white as jade, sometimes red as blood, and sometimes colorful. It is like a huge work of art.
"This... could this be the legendary Dragon King Gu... Oh my God... there is no dragon corpse in the Dragon Corpse River... there is actually a Dragon King Gu..." Gu Shanshui widened his eyes, staring at the gorgeous yet terrifying creature in front of him, and screamed out.
Gu Lou and Gu He were even more miserable. They collapsed on the boat and even bowed down to worship the Dragon King Gu.
People like Zhou Wen who don't raise Gu may not understand what the Dragon King Gu means to those who raise it, but Gu Shanshui and the others are so frightened that they have lost all their fighting spirit, like lambs to be slaughtered.
Legend has it that the phoenix is the nemesis of poisonous insects, and the dragon gave birth to all poisons in the world.
In some areas, dragons are regarded as gods. If people anger the gods, the gods will bring down disasters such as diseases and plagues.
These disasters are actually caused by poisonous insects, which are life forms that parasitize the Dragon God and punish humans who do wrong on behalf of the Dragon God.
From the perspective of modern humans, the poisonous insect was actually a parasite on the dragon god in the beginning.
Of course, this is just a legend in a certain area, and its truth is unknown.
However, in the legends of these areas, if the parasites on the Dragon God become extremely powerful and turn the whole Dragon God into a Gu, then the legendary King of All Gu, Dragon King Gu, will be formed.
This is actually just a local legend. No one has ever seen the Dragon King Gu. Even in this era, no one believes that the Gu worm can really turn the tables and completely transform the Dragon God into a Gu.
But the life before him undoubtedly possessed the characteristics of both a dragon and a Gu.
It looks like a divine dragon and possesses terrifying dragon power, but its body structure is similar to that of coral.
The coral itself is formed by the condensation of numerous coral polyps, and the creature in front of us can also be seen as an aggregate of countless poisonous insects.
These characteristics are extremely similar to the legendary Dragon King Gu.
Moreover, ever since the appearance of this creature suspected to be the Dragon King Gu, the Gu insects in Gu Shanshui, Gu Lou, and Gu He's bodies have been trembling and are completely unable to move. This is even more terrifying than the suppression of the bird.
For those who raise Gu, this is undoubtedly fatal.
The bird stood on the bow and chirped at the Dragon King Gu. It looked very ferocious, but Zhou Wen, who knew the bird very well, could see that it must be very guilty.
Otherwise, given the bird's personality, it would have directly spewed out phoenix fire and burned the creature in front of it to death.
The Dragon King Gu stared coldly at the bird, Zhou Wen and the others. It was obviously not afraid of the bird like other Gu insects, and it didn't even regard the bird as a threat at all.
Although the bird has the blood of the Phoenix, it has not yet fully grown up. It can restrain ordinary poisonous insects, but it cannot match the existence of the Dragon King Poison.
Zhou Wen noticed that the Dragon King Gu was staring at the gourd containing the corpse worms. It was obvious that it was attracted by the corpse worms.
Gu Shanshui picked up the gourd with trembling hands and presented it to the Dragon King Gu with both hands. As a Gu breeder, no one dared to resist the Dragon King Gu because that was the supreme god in his mind.
With a flash of his body, Zhou Wen arrived at the bow of the boat, took the gourd from Gu Shanshui's hand, held it in his hand, and looked at the Dragon King Gu.
Because he is not a Gu breeder, he has no fear for the Dragon King Gu. Even if he hands over the corpse worms in the gourd, the current Dragon King Gu may not let them go.
"Roar!" The Dragon King Gu seemed to be angered by Zhou Wen's action and let out a strange roar.
Different from the dragon roars Zhou Wen had heard before, the Dragon King Gu's voice was very strange, with the sound of different species roaring in unison.
In the roar of the Dragon King Gu, Gu Shanshui and others showed expressions of pain, holding their heads with their hands, as if insects were biting their brains.
Zhou Wen also felt as if some extremely tiny creature was following the sound into his ears and trying to invade his brain.
"This is a sound Gu that spreads through sound... Cover your ears quickly... Don't listen to that sound..." Gu Shanshui screamed in pain.
In fact, under the influence of Di Ting and the life soul of the Prison King, Zhou Wen had already discovered the sound poison hidden in the sound. He used the control of the life soul of the Prison King over the body to directly block the hearing consciousness and exclude the sound poison.
"I know you can understand what I say. Let's leave the Dragon Corpse River and I will return the corpse worms in it to you. If one of us dies, I will turn it into ashes now." Zhou Wen said to the Dragon King Gu, holding the gourd in his hand.
The Dragon King Gu was furious and opened its mouth to spit out dragon breath at Zhou Wen.
The dragon's breath was like a tide of clouds and mist, and it looked extremely terrifying.
The bird opened its mouth and spewed out golden flames. The golden flames came into contact with the dragon's breath. Although they also burned a part of the dragon's breath, they were suppressed by the dragon's breath. It seemed that the dragon's breath was about to submerge the wooden boat.
Gu Shanshui, Gu Lou, and Gu He all turned pale, not daring to resist. Li Mobai, Die, and the mute tried their best to block the dragon's breath, but it didn't work, and their faces turned ugly.
