Chapter 242 (1/2)

On the third month of Nan Xun’s stay in Moran Hall, the gu people who were raised by delicious food and drinks finally became useful.

This day was the examination of the eighteen disciples.

The State Teacher gave eighteen disciples a full three years to refine three kinds of poisonous gu and learn the art of ‘calling the wind and rain’, and it was time to check the results.

Each disciple led their respective gu people to stand in the middle of a field. They lined up one by one, with one small table in front each of them. On the table were three copper pots arranged side by side.

Nan Xun was standing just three steps behind Gong Moran. She wanted to get closer quietly, but as soon as she got closer, the beautiful man in white swept a glance towards her.

Nan Xun stopped moving immediately, turning herself into a wooden pole.

Gong Moran looked at his disciples, raised his hand slightly, and made a gesture. “Test the gu.”

Gong Da nodded, stood up, and announced in a loud voice, “The start of the gu test: the first type, sucking gu.”

The disciples heard the words and picked up the first cup of gu with uniform movements, removing a finger sized flesh-colored gu worm from them.

Gong Moran glanced at them and said lightly, “The color is good, Gong Da and Gong Liu’s are the best.”

There was a trace of pride in Gong Da and Gong Liu’s eyes, and then Gong Da continued to say loudly, “Plant the gu.”

Upon hearing this, the disciples planted the flesh-colored bug into their respective gu person’s arm.

Nan Xun saw with her own eyes, after the sucking gu burrowed themselves in flesh, those eighteen strong, big bodied men’s whole arms shrank at the speed visible to the naked eye and became skinny!

However, there was a big meat bag bulging out of their arms, squirming restlessly inside. If it weren’t for their masters preventing them, they would have wanted to suck the whole person completely dry.

Little Eight cried sob sob, “So cruel ah, why does this world have poisonous gu? It’s cruel and disgusting. Nan Xun, you’re right, baby snake is much cuter than this thing.”

Nan Xun chuckled softly in her heart, “I just found out ah, Little Eight, you’re afraid of insects.”

Little Eight: …

The gu people all screamed in pain, and some of them had already smashed their arms to the ground, as if they wanted to break them apart.

It was only the first gu, but someone had already died from pain.

Nan Xun took a look, it was the one from Gong Shiqi.

“Trash! You can’t even take this kind of pain!” Gong Shiqi was so annoyed that he kicked the corpse viciously, before picking another gu person from the reserves.

The next ones, the brain-eating gu and heart-eating gu were even more terrifying. The brain-eating gu sucked the human brain. The host wouldn’t feel much when it sucked, but when it began to burrow inside your brain, the pain would make you roll on the ground in convulsions.

Not to mention the heart-eating gu, which directly ate your heart. Although its bite was very small, its pin-like bite was unbearable, not to mention that it stuffed itself with your heart while you were alive bite by bite.

Nan Xun couldn’t help touching her little heart; she felt that she had to take more supplements from pig and chicken hearts. Even after taking Little Eight’s big nourishing pill, her little heart still ached dully.

The scene was too tragic, as soon as the brain-eating and heart-eating gu came out, all gu people rolled around in pain and even slammed their heads on the ground, calling their father and mother, it was so miserable.

After the whole gu test, ten gu people died, with extremely terrifying deaths.

The ground was full of bloodstains, some gu insects died directly inside their host’s bodies, causing the fresh corpse to emit a strong stench.

Nan Xun felt that she probably wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly after watching too much, this was definitely a scene that only appeared in horror movies!

Gong Moran nodded slightly, seeming satisfied.

After the gu trial was over, the disciples successively withdrew the three gu cups from the small table and changed to another table.
