Chapter 349: Chapter 342 Fourth Swallows the Gu_1

The metal cage for containing insects had very small gaps.

Yet it could escape through these gaps like water, which indicated that its body possessed the capability to morph.

This was also one of the most basic abilities of a Gu.

Disperse to become gas, gather to take form.

This Blood Spider had already begun to master this skill. The nine Taiyin Yaoyaos that Elder Jiu Yin kept also had this ability.

When they were a whole, the Insect Jar couldn’t contain them at all.

Only by cutting them in half and imprisoning them separately could they prevent their escape.

When Elder Jiu Yin confidently left eight Taiyin Yaoyaos by the Tianshui River to deal with Master He Shan, he counted on their special ability to be impervious to swords and challenging to imprison.

With these two abilities, their safety was basically secured.

However, they encountered the anomaly Qin Niu, who had a large group of Termites capable of Spirit Control. In a twist of fate, they found a way to imprison Taiyin Yaoyaos.

As for this Blood Spider, it certainly couldn’t be imprisoned with the same method.

Because it didn’t possess the immortal body of the Taiyin Yaoyao.

Qin Niu wanted to keep this Blood Spider for research.

It was best not to kill it.

He tried taking out another Insect Jar, this time made of bamboo, with no holes.

With Fourth’s assistance, they once again successfully captured the Blood Spider within the bamboo tube.

But it escaped again.

It seemed that as long as there was a gap, no matter how small, it could get out.

Although it had not yet reached the Gu’s state of being formless and traceless, its ability was already very formidable.

After escaping this time, it even pounced towards Qin Niu, attempting to bite him.

Frightened, Qin Niu hastily activated his King Pig Leather Armor with his internal power, forming a protective energy armor around his body.

Gu poison was extremely difficult to resolve.

Even an Immortal Master, if poisoned by a Gu, would lose half their life if not die.

Qin Niu did not dare let it invade his body.

Spiders belong to a large family among the arthropods.

They are divided into several orders: Araneae, Scorpiones, Pseudoscorpiones, Solifugae, Amblypygi, Ricinulei, Palpigradi, Thelyphonida, Opiliones, Schizomida, and Acari. Nearly every order has its terrifying entities.

For example, the notorious Day Evasion Spider from the deserts, which could annihilate an entire nest of ants all by itself.

It’s one of the few ground spiders that isn’t afraid of group attacks.

The exact species of this Blood Spider was unclear; it somewhat resembled the Pseudoscorpiones but not entirely.

Seeing it attack humans, Qin Niu gave up the idea of capturing it alive.

Mainly because he hadn’t seriously learned the Gu Control Technique and simply couldn’t contain this Blood Spider.

“Fourth, here’s your chance to grow stronger; eat it directly.”

Qin Niu decided to let Fourth consume this nourishing entity.

A Blood Spider conceived from a human host, half-insect and half-Gu, was definitely a nourishing delicacy.

Fourth was already chomping at the bit to attack.

It had been stuck at the peak of Grade Four for many days and had long wished to advance a level.

But being an extremely rare War Demon Ant, it faced much more difficulty in advancing than other special Termites. Thus, it had not been able to do so.

Theoretically, the more powerful the creature, the more difficult it is to advance.

They naturally belonged to unique species favored by the heavens and earth.

Nature was very fair, giving every species advantages while also imbuing them with disadvantages.

There’s a flaw in the heavenly way; nothing without a blemish can last.

There is no person or thing in the world that is perfect. Every person, every item, and every creature has its strengths and weaknesses.

Powerful creatures not only experience difficulty in advancing but generally have poor reproductive capabilities as well.

As Fourth rushed out, the other Puppet Ants simultaneously performed Spirit Control on the Blood Spider.

Although it was formidable, facing such a multitude of Termites’ attack, and especially the most devious Mental Attack, it immediately fell into a sluggish state.
