Chapter 349 - Chapter 349: Chapter 342 Fourth Swallows the Gu_1 (2/2)

Fourth had already pounced on its body, starting to devour the Blood Spider.

A horrifying scene unfolded.

The Blood Spider actually transformed into a cloud of blood mist, voluntarily merging into Fourth’s body.

“No good! It’s trying to fight back!”

Qin Niu had read the scriptures on Puppet Ants, giving him some understanding of the characteristics of gu.

Immediately realizing its intent when it allowed itself to be consumed by Fourth, he knew it was already too late.

It entangled itself with Fourth’s body, enveloping Fourth’s form in blood mist, which then solidified into a blood cocoon.

“Fourth, don’t panic. I believe you can definitely overcome it. Make good use of your home-field advantage.”

Qin Niu encouraged Fourth.

After all, the body belonged to Fourth, who was the host, with the Blood Spider as the guest. Now that the Blood Spider wanted to usurp the host’s role, it didn’t have the advantage of terrain.

To prevent Fourth’s battle with the blood cocoon from any interference, Qin Niu placed the blood cocoon directly into a bamboo tube.

Such a struggle was hard for outsiders to assist with.

Fourth had to rely on his own strength to conquer the Blood Spider.

This was also a good trial for Fourth.

It was like cultivators facing the tribulation of thunder, a disaster, but also an opportunity for transformation.

After the tribulation, the cultivator would experience a complete metamorphosis in every way.

Qin Niu secured the blood cocoon and turned towards Wang Haikun’s wife.

Her lower half was still bleeding profusely, eyes bloodshot and vacant.

“Wife, wife! I’ll never hit you again; I’ll never scold you again. Wake up, wake up…”

Wang Haikun cradled his wife, calling out to her nonstop.

Who would have thought that such a bully would have his conscience awakened one day?

Seeing his wife in such a tragic state, and upon learning that she had not betrayed him, Wang Haikun recalled his past abusive behavior towards her, his heart filled with guilt and regret.

If he hadn’t been so abusive, driving her to leave home to work and earn money in the city…

Most women, after getting married, would stay at home to support their husbands, raising children, and helping with farming and such.

“He he…”

Wang Haikun’s wife made a strange noise as if it emanated from deep within her belly.

Qin Niu watched her intently, waiting for the next development.

Her body arched backward again, her abdomen protruding extremely high, with a cracking sound emanating from her bones.

Then, in a swift motion, she stood up straight.

Wang Haikun was strong, even with only one arm remaining, it was no problem for him to hold his wife who had just given birth.

Yet, she flung him away effortlessly.

He stumbled and fell to the ground.

His wife, He Yue, grabbed a long silk ribbon from the bedside, climbed onto a table, and accurately tossed it over the roof beam.

Next, she tied a noose with the ribbon that went over the beam, tightened it, and then slipped her head through it.

This scene was almost identical to what had happened to Flower Auntie’s daughter.

If no one was present, she would surely hang herself from the beam.

Qin Niu suspected that there must be a gu inside her, controlling her thoughts.

Otherwise, these actions would’ve been impossible.

“Master Qin, I beg you, save my wife, hurry!”

Wang Haikun scrambled to his feet, lunged forward to save her, but his wife kicked him away, then leaped forward, her body suspended in mid-air.

The silk ribbon around her neck tightened.

The expression on her face remained serene, with no sign of pain.

Qin Niu was thoroughly creeped out.

Gu techniques were too frightening.

They killed silently.

Compared to Gu Masters, Insect Masters were merely juniors.
