These three Gu worms are Wind Blade Gu, Cyclone Gu, and Flowing Wind Gu, all of which are Wind Path Gu worms.
Among them, Flowing Wind Gu is the most precious; it allows a Gu Master to instantly transform into a swirling wind, thereby evading enemy attacks.
Liu Chen was very interested in all three Gu worms, but due to his current Cultivation being only Second Rank, he could not activate these Third Rank Gu worms.
Helpless, Liu Chen had no choice but to let Golden Snake Gu swallow these three Gu worms along with the Wind Leopard's corpse.
After Golden Snake Gu swallowed them, Liu Chen then placed them into his System inventory.
"These fresh blood cannot be wasted either!" Liu Chen gazed at the snow-covered ground stained red with the Wind Leopard's blood, pondering to himself. He unhesitatingly activated a Sword Embryo Gu from his Aperture, and instantly, a crudely shaped sword embryo materialized in his hand, resembling an unfinished, half-completed treasured sword.
The blade of this sword embryo was a unique blood-red, covered with patterns like blood vessels, as if the sword possessed its own life. Liu Chen carefully inserted the Sword Embryo Gu into the pool of beast blood, then quietly observed.
To his surprise, the remaining fresh blood, as if drawn by some mysterious force, rapidly flowed along the blade of the Sword Embryo Gu, eventually being completely absorbed.
"I wonder if there are any survivors in this village?" Liu Chen murmured to himself. He put away the Sword Embryo Gu, flipped back onto the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider's back, and continued towards the utterly destroyed village.
He walked to the side of the old Gu Master and obtained a First Rank Flying Flower Gu and a Muscle Growth Grass Gu from his Aperture.
This was an unexpected harvest. After searching the old man's body for a while, he found ten primeval stones, and then used the sword embryo to drain the fresh blood from his corpse.
Along the way, Liu Chen held the blood-red sword embryo tightly in his hand, which emitted a faint bloody scent. Every time he encountered a corpse, he would use the sword embryo to absorb all the blood, not letting a single drop go to waste.
The entire village was permeated with the aura of death, shattered corpses scattered everywhere, making it look like a purgatory on earth. Liu Chen suppressed his inner fear and discomfort, constantly telling himself to remain calm.
"Is it full already?" Liu Chen looked at the blood-red sword embryo in his hand, pondering to himself.
This sword embryo originally only had blood-red patterns covering the blade; now, it had filled the entire blade, and faintly emitted a soft red glow, clearly indicating it had reached the standard for advancement.
Liu Chen couldn't help but sigh, the Cultivation method of the Blood Path faction, though bloody and violent, was truly astonishing in its effects. Just the fresh blood from a small village was enough to make this Sword Embryo Gu advance so quickly. If he were to wantonly slaughter Mortals and absorb their fresh blood, it probably wouldn't take long for this Sword Embryo Gu to Breakthrough to Rank Five.
However, Liu Chen was not so deranged as to reach that extent. Although he yearned for powerful strength, he also had his own bottom line and principles.
Carrying the sword embryo, Liu Chen arrived at the spot where the Wind Leopard first appeared. There, the once flat ground now resembled a giant meteor crater, and in the center of the crater, a deep cave was revealed!
"That is..." Liu Chen stood at the edge of the meteor crater, gazing at the cave, a strong sense of curiosity welling up in his heart.
Just as he looked closer, a surprising scene unfolded—a treasure box radiating amethyst light appeared in the crater!
Liu Chen leaped into the cave without hesitation, nimble as a swallow, landing gracefully. Immediately after, he quickly reached out and accurately grasped the amethyst treasure box, tucking it into his embrace.
After completing this series of actions, Liu Chen composed himself slightly and began to look around. This cave brought him an unexpected surprise—it was actually built by someone intentionally! The cave walls were covered with plant roots, which not only served as support but also added a touch of vitality and greenery to the entire cave.
Even more surprisingly, there were some glowing plants in the cave, like lanterns, illuminating this originally dark underground cave into a unique world of its own. Liu Chen couldn't help but develop a strong interest in this mysterious place and decided to explore further.
If the Wind Leopard hadn't coincidentally broken open this cave, Liu Chen probably would never have discovered its existence. Thinking of this, Liu Chen couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. This cave was so hidden; if not for a stroke of Opportunity, he might have passed it by, missing out on the precious treasures that might be hidden within.
Liu Chen secretly resolved that no matter where he went in the future, he would first use Treasure Light Gu to detect the surrounding environment. This way, he could not only discover potential dangers in advance but also more accurately find valuable items or clues.
With his mind made up, Liu Chen unhesitatingly took out the Four-Turn Treasure Light Gu from his System inventory. This Treasure Light Gu was obtained after much hardship and possessed extremely powerful detection capabilities.
The moment Liu Chen released the Treasure Light Gu, he was surprised to find that it seemed to be attracted by something, excitedly flying towards the depths of the cave. Its speed was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
Upon seeing this, Liu Chen's heart tightened. The Treasure Light Gu flew so eagerly into the depths of the cave; could there really be some rare treasure there? This thought flashed through his mind, making him even more curious about the secrets of the cave's depths.
Slowly moving along the cave passage, Liu Chen followed closely behind the Treasure Light Gu, while also carefully observing the surroundings.
Finally, at the end of the passage, he discovered a skeleton. This skeleton lay there alone, as if telling a story from the past.
However, next to the skeleton grew a Earth Cage Grass. Earth Cage Grass is a very precious Gu worm; it belongs to the Third Rank storage Gu, and for Liu Chen, this was undoubtedly a huge harvest. With this Earth Cage Grass, he solved the problem of not having a storage Gu worm.
The Treasure Light Gu was now constantly circling and flying around the Earth Cage Grass Gu.
Moreover, Earth Cage Grass is also a refining Gu worm for Di Zang Hua Gu, capable of storing multiple Gu worms. This meant that Liu Chen could store even more Gu worms, greatly enhancing his strength.
Liu Chen was ecstatic. He immediately used the pressure emitted by the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider to successfully refine the Earth Cage Grass and obtained ten Gu worms from it.
When he saw that there was even a Five-Rank Gu worm among them, the shock in his heart was beyond words. The appearance of this Five-Rank Gu worm was undoubtedly a huge surprise, allowing his strength to achieve a qualitative leap.
