94: Cultivating Gu Insects

This greatly surprised Tang Ping; one should know that the Great Leader of Yuntian Base was not weak.

Coupled with the Treasure Dungeon, he must have obtained a huge number of treasure chests, so his foundation was definitely deep.

Yet, such a leader actually died?

If it weren't for knowing one person, even Tang Ping would have thought it was Taohai Base's doing.

Who exactly killed him?

The first person Tang Ping thought of, of course, was Yao Xiaoyue.

“No wonder there was basically no information about Yuntian Base in later generations; it turns out it was gone so early.” Tang Ping shook his head and walked past the group of people.

As he approached Xi County, some shops began to appear, and soon, he found a pile of beer bottles, then found a hidden spot and buried the Shelter underground.

After entering the Shelter, the temperature instantly became much more comfortable, and coming before the Spirit Sealing Crystal Tank, Tang Ping began to fill it with King Worm pupa fluid.

Each beer bottle only needed to be filled two fingers high, roughly enough to cover an entire arm's worth of area for one or two uses.

Tang Ping still chose to trade shelter fragments; each beer bottle of pupa fluid, because the dosage was not much, was traded for 20 fragments.

Even if this pupa fluid wasn't life-saving, it was still quite good.

Whether it was fractures, skin damage, flesh loss, and a series of other severe external injuries, it could basically treat them all.

The price was naturally not cheap.

Tang Ping listed 35 bottles in one go; once these 35 bottles were sold, he would have accumulated 700 shelter fragments.

Coupled with the remaining four infected serums, he would have completely gathered the shelter fragments needed to upgrade to a level four Shelter.

At that time, he would only be missing the level four Shelter blueprint.

After completing these tasks, Tang Ping contacted Zhang Xile.

Tang Ping: “Zhang Xile, I have good news for you.”

Not long after, Zhang Xile replied.

Zhang Xile: “Dear Brother Tang, what can I do for you?”

Tang Ping: “Do you know that town about ten kilometers from you?”

Zhang Xile: “I know, Brother Tang is talking about Qishan Town, right? I'm very familiar with it; it's the closest town to my home, what's up?”

Tang Ping: “Tomorrow at noon, a Treasure Dungeon will appear on the bridge east of the town. You'd best bring your whole family; if you die inside, you won't truly die, and you can farm monsters for experience. Your family will probably all reach Level Three.”

Zhang Xile: “Treasure Dungeon! Brother Tang, are you serious? How do you know about the Treasure Dungeon here?”

Tang Ping: “Don't worry, I won't lie to you. The information is guaranteed to be true. Get ready and set off early tomorrow morning. When the Treasure Dungeon appears, enter immediately. Each Treasure Dungeon entrance is limited to ten people.”

Zhang Xile: “Okay! I believe Brother Tang! Early tomorrow morning, no, today, today I'll take my family to town and wait for the Treasure Dungeon to appear. When I reach Level Three, I'll build a base for you, Brother, and you can come be the emperor later!”

Tang Ping: “Don't mess up, kid. Oh, and if you ever meet someone named Chu Ningxiang, never trust her. That woman has an S-rank Water Talent, and she's accompanied by a pretty boy with a C-rank Talent. If you encounter them, kill them directly.”

Zhang Xile, who was wandering around the mountain catching wild pheasants and rabbits to sell, was a bit confused, but he trusted Tang Ping: “Don't worry, Brother Tang, I'll definitely pay attention to that woman.”

Tang Ping: “Mm, there's nothing else. Oh, right, this is a bottle of special mucus that can treat all kinds of severe external injuries or fractures. You take it and use it.”

He filled a beer bottle full of pupa fluid and sent it to Zhang Xile.

Zhang Xile: “Thank you, Brother Tang! Long live Brother Tang!”

Tang Ping, who was about to leave, suddenly remembered that Zhang Xile seemed to be in the mountains?

Aren't there many poisonous insects and snakes in the mountains? Then his Gu worms could be refined.

He immediately contacted Zhang Xile again.

Tang Ping: “Zhang Xile, are there many insects and poisonous snakes where you are?”

Zhang Xile: “Yes, I'm deep in the mountains here, so of course there are insects and poisonous snakes. And ever since the Doomsday Game descended, many insects have become very fierce and quite venomous.”

Tang Ping: “See if you can help me catch some poisonous insects or something. Don't bother with the too dangerous ones, lest you kick the bucket. Also, get me some poisonous plants, mushrooms, and the like.”

Zhang Xile: “That's easy! Don't worry, Brother Tang, don't worry about me. My mom's Shelter is special; staying inside can increase my body's resistance to poison. Now, ordinary poisonous insects and such are already useless against me.”

Zhang Xile: “I'm in the mountains right now; I'll go catch some insects. There are also a lot of poisonous mushrooms in the mountains. Brother Tang, wait for me for an hour!”

Tang Ping: “Okay, be careful yourself. If you encounter a powerful poison that you can't cure, tell me. I have a special item here that can detoxify.”

Zhang Xile: “Don't worry, Brother Tang, it'll be fine. I'm going now!”

Ending his chat with Zhang Xile, Tang Ping opened the mini-game - Five Poisons Nest - again, feeling a little excited about whether he could create some Gu worms.

Gu worms, these things, were full of legendary mysterious color on this mysterious land.

And after learning that his world originally had some extraordinary elements, he felt that perhaps some Gu worms already existed.

“I wonder what kind of Gu worms I can cultivate.”

Thinking of poison, Tang Ping suddenly remembered that the Great Emperor Moth he had tamed in the Treasure Dungeon had come out with him!

The phosphorescent powder at the four eye patterns on the Great Emperor Moth's wings seemed to be a very potent poison powder. This could also be used to cultivate rare poisons, or directly added to the Five Poisons Nest.

Coming out of the Shelter, he summoned the Great Emperor Moth.

The Great Emperor Moth was on the rooftop of the building next to him. With wings spread, it was over ten meters, and with wings closed, its body length was nearly ten meters. It was clearly also a giant beast.

The Great Emperor Moth gently rubbed its head against Tang Ping's hand.

“I'll take a bit of the spiritual poison powder from your wings.” Tang Ping petted the Great Emperor Moth, signaling it to spread its wings.

Although the Great Emperor Moth could not yet communicate telepathically, compared to the Earth Worm and Giant King Worm, it was incredibly intelligent; the two were at opposite extremes in terms of wisdom.

The Great Emperor Moth's proboscis emitted a clear and pleasant sound, like playing a flute, then it spread its wings, revealing the bloody eye patterns on them.

Tang Ping held a bowl in his hand and gently scraped off some powder with his Tang Blade.

The powder was hidden beneath fine downy hairs. When the Great Emperor Moth attacked with it, it would spread these hairs. The phosphorescent powder, combined with its activated Talent, would have a great effect, with considerable power, comparable to an A-rank spiritual illusion-type Talent!

The golden pupil patterns were covered with golden poison powder. Just by being close, Tang Ping felt his consciousness become a little hazy, like being drunk.

This was him deliberately turning off the effect of the B-rank Spiritual Drill.

He wanted to test the effect of this phosphorescent powder.

Tang Ping was very satisfied.

“This thing is a rare spiritual illusion-type poison. It can be directly added when cultivating Gu worms!” He vaguely anticipated what he would create.

One hour later.

Zhang Xile sent a trade request.

“Brother Tang! The poisonous insects you wanted are ready! There are even several Black Widows! Absolutely potent!”
