Chapter 124 - The Disgusting Meat Gu
Chapter 124: The Disgusting Meat Gu
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Gu Refinement Cave was where the Tri-Gu Sect raised the Meat Gu.
Compared to the small town that surrounded Mount Gu, the Gu Refinement Cave mainly relied on capturing people to replenish its manpower.
The Tri-Gu Sect continuously captured vagrant villagers and slaves outside, sent them to the Gu Refinement Cave, and planted Gu in them.
Zhou Feng had experienced it himself.
If one was lucky, they could become an inner disciple.
If they were not lucky enough, they could only become the Meat Gu’s food.
A few Qi Condensation inner disciples were guarding around the Gu Refinement Cave to prevent accidents from happening.
‘The first one!’
Zhou Feng relied on his passive Nature Affinity to blend in with the surrounding environment.
Then, his Demonic Qi surged, and the inner disciple guarding outside the Gu Refinement Cave suddenly blacked out, losing his life force.
Given his Grade-4 Soul Altar cultivation, dealing with a mere Qi Condensation inner disciple was overkill. That disciple did not even have the chance to react.
‘It did not trigger?’
Zhou Feng frowned because the passive Soul Harvesting was not triggered.
It did not matter, however. Although there were not many people in the Gu Refinement Cave, the inner sect had way more people.
He planned to get rid of all the inner disciples guarding outside the Gu Refinement Cave and then sneak into the Gu Refinement Cave.
Zhou Feng relied on his Nature Affinity to travel through the forest.
The second one!
The third one!
The fourth one!
The four inner disciples guarding the place were all killed.
Using his Grade-4 Soul Altar cultivation to sneak attack these Qi Condensation inner disciples was indeed a little overkill.
These four people had only triggered the passive Soul Harvesting once.
Zhou Feng’s spiritual power had only increased by a strand, and he was still a little far from breaking through to Grade-3 of the Soul Altar realm.
‘Is it because of the cultivation difference?’
Previously, when he killed people in the Soul Altar realm, he could trigger the passive Soul Harvesting almost every time.
However, when he killed these people with Qi Condensation cultivation, the chances of triggering the passive state decreased by a lot.
After Zhou Feng cleaned up the corpses in front of him, he set up a simple formation at the intersection.
It was still set up directly with the formation flag.
This was a warning formation. Once someone passed by here, Zhou Feng would be able to know.
…
Mo Qianjiang was an inner disciple with average aptitude. He had been in the Tri-Gu Sect for more than ten years and had exhausted his potential.
In the end, he had barely broken through to the Qi Condensation realm. The new disciples who had entered later had even surpassed him.
In addition to the intense internal conflict, this caused Mo Qianjiang to take the initiative to become a manager in the Tri-Gu Sect.
Compared to the intense internal conflict, he was the person with the highest cultivation in Gu Refinement Cave.
He was the emperor in this place, and one gaze of his decided how the peasants had to live. It was much better to retire here than in the inner sect.
The people under him would offer many good things from time to time to curry favor with him. That was especially the case for the twins that were offered yesterday. They seemed to be under the age of 20.
It was a pity that their bodies had been too weak, and they died in the process. Later on, he would call some people to send them to the Meat Gu. Otherwise, Mo Qianjiang would have wanted to keep the twins to serve him!
“What a pity!”
Mo Qianjiang hummed a little tune as usual and prepared to inspect the caves.
As soon as he arrived at the cave entrance, Mo Qianjiang smelled a thick smell of blood.
‘What happened!?’
The thick smell of blood made Mo Qianjiang shudder, and the Spiritual Qi in his body started to circulate.
‘Someone invaded the sect? That’s impossible! Even if someone invaded the sect, they shouldn’t have done it here!’
Mo Qianjiang’s first thought was that someone had invaded the sect.
Then he thought about it and felt that it was unlikely. After all, the Gu Refinement Cave was a garbage dump. Even if someone did invade the sect, they wouldn’t target this place.
‘Could it be that the news of the twins’ death has spread? Are their families here to cause trouble?
‘They are simply courting death!’
Mo Qianjiang quickly thought of a possibility, and a trace of anger immediately appeared on his face.
“Die!”
A large hand stretched out from behind Mo Qianjiang, and a crisp bone-breaking sound echoed.
The hand had grabbed Mo Qianjiang’s neck and twisted it slightly.
The entire process took less than a second, and Mo Qianjiang died instantly!
Even now, Mo Qianjiang’s face still wore the same expression as before.
‘This is the last one!’
Zhou Feng swung his right hand and threw Mo Qianjiang’s corpse to the side.
Although he knew that there were many heartless people in the Gu Refinement Cave and countless tragedies had happened, he still underestimated the people here.
Just this cave alone had countless white bones buried underground.
Zhou Feng had just discovered a small prison where many people were locked up. Most of them were women and a small number of children.
And these people’s eyes were basically numb like a corpse’s while their bodies were covered in wounds. No one knew what humiliation they had suffered.
What angered Zhou Feng the most was the place where the Meat Gu’s feed was made.
In that place, the dismembered human corpses were steamed together with other things.
That was definitely the most disgusting scene that Zhou Feng had ever seen.
When Zhou Feng killed others with his own hands, he did not throw up. However, he almost did so when he saw that unnerving scene just now.
‘What a disgusting place!’
Zhou Feng used his super-strong perception to investigate the surroundings.
There should be no living people around here, which meant that this Meat Gu hole had been completely cleaned up.
After killing so many people, the passive Soul Harvesting had only been triggered three times.
Three more stands of soul power were added.
“Now, only that Meat Gu is left!”
Zhou Feng looked at the hole, planning to enter and directly finish off that Meat Gu.
Such a disgusting thing should not exist in this world.
Moreover, back when he would feed the Meat Gu, he had been in danger many times. It was time to take revenge!
He walked into the hole and passed through a long passage.
Soon, a Meat Gu appeared in front of him.
A fat worm was squirming on the ground, its back was covered in warts, and its mouth was still covered in disgusting mucus.
It was still as disgusting as before.
This Meat Gu sensed Zhou Feng’s arrival and started to howl as if it was stimulated. At the same time, it started to struggle crazily, large amounts of pus flowing out of its body.
“Purple Jade Bell!”
Zhou Feng directly used the Purple Jade Bell against such a disgusting thing.
The Purple Jade Bell shook slightly, and the Meat Gu exploded into countless small pieces of meat.
Even so, these small pieces of meat were still squirming on the spot. Their tenacious vitality was truly out of his expectations.
In order to prevent the revival of the dead, Zhou Feng used the Purple Jade Bell again.
At this time, the meat turned into minced meat, and the Meat Gu had no chance of survival..
