Lai Qiguan finished speaking, then took out a purple wooden talisman and suddenly stabbed it into the back of the gu insect.
A chilling, miserable scream rang out.
The grotesque human face on the gu insect’s back twisted in agony.
No one knew exactly what kind of object that talisman was, but within two breaths, the gu insect turned into a pool of blood.
In fact, killing gu insects was extremely rare among gu immortals.
That was because cultivating any gu insect required a terrifying amount of time and resources.
Lai Qiguan’s reason for doing this was to prevent the Heavenly Remnant Devouring Gu insect from swallowing his own gu insect.
After all, if it could swallow even a powerful gu insect like the Boundless Salamander in one gulp,
then the gu insect he cultivated likely stood no chance against this little hedgehog’s mouth.
Rather than watch his gu insect get eaten, he chose a different tactic: sacrificing the gu insect’s life to try to win in the end.
Moreover, in Lai Qiguan’s mind, as long as he could obtain the Heavenly Remnant Devouring Gu insect, sacrificing numerous gu insects was worthwhile.
He cupped the wooden talisman with both hands, chanting obscure and difficult incantations.
Suddenly, a huge gu insect phantom appeared behind him.
It looked exactly like the one that had just died, only its size seemed magnified by at least a hundred times.
The eerie human face pattern on its back shifted quietly, and with a sharp roar,
more phantoms gradually appeared.
They were the gu insects recently swallowed by the Heavenly Remnant Devouring Gu insect.
Now they once again blocked Ye Yu and Qin Xihe’s path.
Lai Qiguan sneered coldly, “Boy, I know your immortal pet can eat gu insects. But you can’t eat the gu insect souls, right? Today, even if I lose everything, I will make sure you stay here for good!”
No sooner had he spoken than the human-faced gu insect behind roared, and the surrounding ghost gu insects immediately launched an attack on Ye Yu and Qin Xihe.
Just as Ye Yu and Qin Xihe prepared to counterattack—
Something was faster than them!
The Heavenly Remnant Devouring Gu insect opened its small mouth and swiftly swallowed all the ghost gu insects.
This scene was extremely familiar.
Right—these gu insects had died like this in life, and now it seemed they died the same way in death.
It truly matched the saying: life is a cycle, death is too.
After finishing, the Heavenly Remnant Devouring Gu insect seemed still unsatisfied.
It transformed into lightning and swiftly moved to the side of the human-faced gu insect phantom, nipping lightly.
The hundred-zhang phantom immediately dissipated.
After its meal, the Heavenly Remnant Devouring Gu insect returned to Ye Yu’s shoulder, patted its belly, and burped contentedly.
It was obvious it had thoroughly enjoyed itself.
Lai Qiguan was completely stunned, standing dumbfounded.
“You little thing, you’re way too presumptuous!”
“My carefully devised method for killing gu insects was just broken by you eating a couple bites?!”
“If I’d known you could even eat the gu insect souls, why bother killing them at all?”
“Seriously, what kind of creature are you? How can you even eat gu insect souls?”
Lai Qiguan was deeply confused.
In fact, he was not the only one confused—Ye Yu had never expected such a scene either.
He was greatly shocked.
“No way—you really eat it all!”
“So you specialize in gu insect reincarnation prohibition? Eat the flesh and the soul too? This whole production chain, you’ve mastered it thoroughly.”
In an instant, Lai Qiguan closed his eyes.
