Chapter 215 - Ancient Winged Golden King Bug Breaking Out of Its Cocoon
Chapter 215: Ancient Winged Golden King Bug Breaking Out of Its Cocoon
Rustle!
The sudden movement attracted Gu Xi’s attention. Only then did he realize that the cocoon in the air had turned from white to semi-transparent.
The thing inside was shaking slightly, as if there was some liquid inside, and its outline could be vaguely seen.
“Could it be that the Ancient Winged Golden King Bug is about to break out of its cocoon?”
Gu Xi guessed that the cocoon had absorbed a lot of the dense spiritual energy, which had become the nutrients of the Ancient Winged Golden King Bug. It would have taken some time before it could break out of the cocoon, but now it had been brought forward.
“I wonder what the king bug looks like.”
It should be much more powerful than the Winged Golden Black Bug. Moreover, Gu Xi was able to escape from the swarm of insects safely because of the cocoon. Perhaps it had the ability to command the regular Winged Golden Black Bugs.
The silvery-white moonlight fell on the cocoon. With the injection of the essence of the moon, the cocoon had become completely transparent. Gu Xi could even clearly see a small black dot inside.
Rustling sounds rang out, as if something was gnawing at it. The small black dot slowly moved, and the cocoon became thinner and thinner. It seemed as if it would break with a gentle poke.
At the same time, its body also became more and more swollen, like a balloon, making the liquid inside more and more obvious.
A crack appeared on the cocoon, and in an instant, a milky white light burst out, piercing Gu Xi so much that he could hardly open his eyes. When he came back to his senses, the cocoon had already been split into two, but the thing inside had disappeared without a trace.
Where did the Ancient Winged Golden King Bug go?
Just as Gu Xi was searching around.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The sound of wings flapping could be heard. Gu Xi turned around and saw a thumb-sized creature that was easily overlooked. It looked similar to the Winged Golden Black Bug, but its size was much smaller.
However, its wings were pure gold, and there was a circle of golden patterns at the end of its tail. It looked very mysterious.
Gu Xi looked at it curiously. “This little guy is the Ancient Winged Golden King Bug?”
He would remember the image of the Ancient Winged Golden King Bug that appeared when the System extracted the impurities. The difference between the little guy in front of him and its ancestors was too big. It was like Heaven and Earth.
However, the Ancient Winged Golden King Bug should still be in its larval stage. It only had a pair of wings. When it grew slowly, it should have evolved six wings.
“I’ll call you Little Ancient from now on.”
Little Ancient flapped its wings, apparently satisfied with the name.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps and noises came from not far away. It seemed that many people were approaching. Little Ancient immediately hid in Gu Xi’s hair. It was very hidden and did not attract attention.
A group of people suddenly came in front of Gu Xi. The leader was Zhou Haozhe. He said sternly, “Take this person down!”
“Yes!”
The group of disciples surrounded him.
Gu Xi did not even know what had happened. He frowned slightly and said, “What are you trying to do?”
Zhou Haozhe smiled coldly. His eyes were full of malicious light. “If you have anything to say, say it in front of Master.”
There were many people on the other side, and he was in Moyu Tower’s territory. It was not good to resist. Gu Xi wanted to see what they wanted to do. Because of Fang Qinyu, Zhou Haozhe had always been hostile toward him.
In the main hall, Fang Qingshan’s expression was obviously not very good.
“Master, I have already captured the thief. Not only did we take him in out of kindness, but he actually dared to trick Junior Sister Fang into stealing the sect’s supreme treasure, the Nine Revolutions Jade Dew. This is unforgivable. Please give the order to punish him severely, Master!”
Gu Xi finally understood why Fang Qinyu had that expression when she handed the medicine to him earlier. It turned out that she was the one who had stolen it.
Fang Qingshan said in a deep voice, “What else do you have to say?”
Zhou Haozhe, who was at the side, answered first, “Master, I saw that this person deliberately approached Junior Sister Fang and came to our Moyu Tower for the Nine Revolutions Jade Dew. This person has ulterior motives and his origin is a mystery. We absolutely can not let him live!”
Seeing the vicious light in Zhou Haozhe’s eyes, Gu Xi knew that he had come prepared and would definitely not let off easily.
“I didn’t know that Miss Fang had stolen the Nine Revolutions Jade Dew. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t have accepted it. I’m willing to bear the consequences.”
The Nine Revolutions Jade Dew had already been extracted by him and consumed as a medicinal pill. It was impossible for him to return it to them.
Zhou Haozhe glared at him angrily. “You’re simply full of nonsense. You’re still trying to quibble at this point. What do you mean you don’t know? You’re willing to bear the consequences. This was all your plan.”
Right at this moment, Fang Qinyu ran in and hurriedly defended Gu Xi. “Big Brother Gu really doesn’t know! I was the one who stole the Jade Dew. This matter has nothing to do with him. If you want to punish me, then just punish me.”
Fang Qingshan could not contain his anger. “Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on her! How could she have slipped away?”
Fang Qinyu looked at Zhou Haozhe coldly, her gaze filled with disappointment. “Senior Brother Zhou, I didn’t expect you to be such a despicable person. At first, you thought that you just didn’t like Big Brother Gu, but now you want to use me to kill him!”
Fang Qingshan was a little hesitant, but when he saw that Fang Qinyu did not care about herself, and was protecting Gu Xi, he was instantly furious.
Zhou Haozhe showed a stunned expression, “Junior Sister Fang, what do you mean by this?!”
“Senior Brother Zhou, you clearly know that I want the Jade Dew, so you deliberately moved the disciples to let me have a chance to get it. You knew that I gave it to Big Brother Gu, so you immediately brought people here after I left, so you could catch him red-handed!”
Fang Qingshan’s gaze fell on Zhou Haozhe, and he said in a deep voice, “Is that true? Haozhe, you should know that of all things, I hate being lied to the most.”
