485 Xiaobao’s Scheming Record (2)
All the Gu Masters in the world wanted it, but ordinary people could not enter the Gu Mountain at all. Gu Elder and the Gu Masters who could enter the Gu Mountain did not have the luck to encounter it. Those who were lucky did not have the strength to catch it.
Of course, it was different now. Gu Elder Meng was a Seventy-feet Gu Elder. He had not been tainted by the aura of the holy artifact and could walk seventy feet by relying on his own strength. Therefore, he was confident that he would not return empty-handed this time.
Eight Gu Masters with jade tokens entered the mountain with him. Originally, according to his plan, he would not bring this group of people and would bring all the real Gu Masters. But the Queen wanted to ensure that nothing went wrong, so four fake Gu Masters were mixed in. Although they were not sacrificial soldiers, they were still top-notch martial arts experts. Their strength was not inferior to the gold-masked sacrificial soldiers.
The method that Gu Elder Meng used was the same as Ah Wei’s. They both used the Hundred Gu King as bait to lure the snow toad who’s looking for food. The stronger the Gu, the more they liked to eat their own kind. Compared to the Hundred Gu King, the poisonous insects in the forest would look boring. However, the aura that the Hundred Gu King could emit was limited. It could only be sensed by the snow toad within a hundred steps.
Ah Wei originally planned to use his Hundred Gu King. After seeing Gu Elder Meng do the same, he put away the Gu King and followed from afar.
Finally, on the night of the third day, the snow toad appeared. It was a little toad that looked like white jade. It was so beautiful that it shone under the moonlight. No one would believe that it was a poisonous Gu just by looking at it. It was like a little immortal spirit and was so beautiful that it was otherworldly.
It bit a Hundred Gu King. The experts hurriedly pulled out their swords.
“Don’t move! I’ll do it!” Gu Elder Meng was worried that they would accidentally hurt the snow toad and asked them all to leave.
Gu Elder Meng had still underestimated the ability of the snow toad. It was much more troublesome than he had imagined. All the Hundred Gu Kings he had brought were killed by the snow toad. He had no choice but to sacrifice the Thousand Gu King that he used to protect his life.
The Thousand Gu King was dead, and the snow toad was in his hands. Gu Elder Meng’s heart ached. No matter how precious this Gu was, it was only a Thousand Gu King. However, in order to catch it, his Thousand Gu King was gone.
“Forget it. It’s all for the future of the Queen.” As soon as he finished speaking, a masked man in black descended from the sky and snatched the snow toad that he had painstakingly obtained.
Gu Elder Meng was shocked. “Who are you!”
The masked man did not say anything. He turned around and wanted to leave.
Gu Elder Meng shouted, “Stop right there! I obtained that Gu worm first! Return it to me!”
The masked man gave him a look of kingly disdain. Not returning it.
Gu Elder Meng was so angry that he fell back. “Alright, there’s a path to heaven, but you didn’t take it. You barged into hell. Originally, if you obediently handed over the Gu worm, I would spare your life, but since you’re courting death, you can’t blame me! Men! Kill him!”
No one answered.
Gu Elder Meng raised his voice. “Are you all deaf?! Why did you have to interfere when I didn’t let you do it? Are you all dead when it’s time?!”
As he spoke, he turned around angrily. Uh… they were indeed dead…
He looked at the eight corpses on the ground and was so shocked that he was petrified on the spot. There were four experts comparable to the gold-masked sacrificial soldiers here. What kind of Asura could silently destroy them?
“Heh.” The masked man sneered.
Hell was empty, and Ah Wei was in the mortal world. Ah Wei left without looking back. After meeting up with Jiang Hai, Qing Yan, and Yue Gou, he decided to return to the manor immediately.
However, Gu Elder Meng was not stupid. After thinking for a while, he remembered the four people who entered the Gu Mountain on the same day as him. His first reaction was that they had tampered with it! It was fake that their Little Gu Elders were looking for insects, but it was true that they had designs on the snow toad!
He sacrificed a Thousand Gu King, but the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Gu Elder Meng could not take this lying down and hurriedly chased after him.
Qing Yan’s ears twitched. “He’s here! One, two, three, down!”
The four of them fell together!
When Gu Elder Meng arrived at the scene, he saw four dying “Gu Masters”. Ah Wei and Yue Gou had already “fainted”, Jiang Hai was “seriously injured” and Qing Yan was only half-dead.
Gu Elder Meng was stunned. Wait, why was it different from what he had thought? Gu Elder Meng came to Qing Yan, who seemed to be half-dead, and asked him, “What happened?”
“Just now… just now, a man… ambushed us… We… I just… saw him… holding a… very strange… Gu… Gu… So I… took a few more glances… and he…” Qing Yan did not have the strength to finish his sentence.
However, Gu Elder Meng had thought it through. The four unlucky fellows must have seen the masked man escape with the snow toad. The masked man thought that they had recognized the snow toad and killed them to silence them in case news spread. Wait, he was also an insider. Why didn’t the masked man kill him to silence him?
Oh no! He had overlooked this! How could he round up this flaw? Qing Yan’s eyes flashed and he broke out in cold sweat.
However, at this moment, Gu Elder Meng “understood” everything. “I understand. He originally didn’t plan to take your lives. He wanted to frame you for stealing Gu, so he kept me alive. He hoped that I would be sure that you did it. Damn fellow, I almost fell for it!”
Qing Yan was dumbfounded. We’re both men, so why are you so outstanding? I don’t know what to say anymore, brother… Then, then let me die.
Qing Yan stuck out his tongue and tilted his head. He was “dead”.
Gu Elder Meng left. After a while, he returned and searched the four of them. Other than some dry rations and newly caught poisonous insects, he found nothing else. This time, he had no doubts and left with a cold expression.
Ah Wei used his qinggong to rush up the branch and take down the bag hidden in the bird’s nest. Then, the four of them swaggered out of Gu Mountain!
