Chapter 372: Chapter 365 Green Silk Worm Advancement_1

Qin Niu bit down on his teeth, continuously rolling on the ground, letting out hoarse roars from his throat as a way to lessen the horrific pain in his body.

At first, it was only his stomach that hurt terribly, but gradually, the pain began to spread to his head as well.

His entire head kept tightening, as if it were about to explode.

The pain was so intense that he began to roll his eyes back, and the dinner he had just eaten was all vomited out.

It made a mess all over the ground.

As he rolled in agony on the ground, he ended up smeared in it.

The pain lasted for about a quarter of an hour, after which Qin Niu, drenched in sweat as if pulled from water, collapsed weakly on the ground, gasping for air.

Just now, he felt as though he might die at any moment.

However, with his understanding of Gu poison, he knew that the Black Spider Gu wouldn’t let him die so easily unless it found a suitable new host.

Qin Niu wasn’t unprepared either.

The moment he entered the basement, he had released the Termite Army.

Under the command of Fourth.

The moment the Black Spider Gu tried to drill out of Qin Niu’s body, it would immediately face their attack.

Qin Niu had thought that the Gu poison episode was over, but he had vastly underestimated the tenacity of the Black Spider Gu.

Just after a short while, his stomach began to hurt again.

And then the excruciating pain that he had just endured was replayed.

He rolled on the ground again, suffering a fate worse than death.

And this time, the episode was even longer than before.

Last time, it lasted for less than a quarter of an hour, but this time it was twice as long.

He was in agony for almost half an hour.

When the pain finally stopped, he lay spread-eagled on the cold, dirty floor, covered in mud, vomit, and his own sweat, looking utterly wretched.

After a while, he began to recover.

Supporting himself with his hands, he sat up from the ground.

He couldn’t imagine that a Gu poison episode could inflict such unbearable pain on him, a strong warrior of the Innate Realm, leaving him absolutely defenseless.

No wonder the termites that ate the Black Spider Gu’s ‘offspring’ were all poisoned to death.

Its toxicity was beyond imagination.

“Son of a bitch, come at me if you dare!”

Qin Niu yelled at the air.

There was no response.

Probably, after launching two rounds of attacks, the Black Spider Gu was also exhausted.

Just as Qin Niu rested for a while, thinking it was over and getting ready to take a bath and change into clean clothes, his stomach began to hurt again.

Then, the unbearable intense pain descended upon him once more.

This time the pain lasted even longer, nearly half an hour.

Even after the pain ceased, he lay on the ground for a long time, motionless.

Three consecutive bouts of violent pain had drained all his strength and left his body exhausted.

He was truly terrified of the pain.

He didn’t want to experience it a fourth time.

Lying quietly on the cold ground, he felt that as long as the pain didn’t return, this was the most comfortable he could be.

He clearly underestimated the terror of the Black Spider Gu.

It had made Elder Mei its slave, contriving ways to find more toxic venom for it—if that was all it could do, how could Elder Mei have succumbed to it?

Qin Niu had not even fully recovered lying on the ground when the fourth round of pain struck.

This time, he chose to endure silently, fighting against it with stubborn willpower.

…

And so, wave after wave of severe pain kept hammering at his body.

And each time was worse than the last.

Qin Niu fully understood now just how terrifying Gu poison could be.

From the looks of it, unless Qin Niu gave in, it would continue to torment him to death.

Faint light began to leak through the ventilation holes from outside.

The entire night passed in this way.

Qin Niu touched his nose and found it covered in almost dry blood, mixed with mucus.

Then, he heard someone knocking on the cellar cover from outside.

“Husband, it’s time for breakfast.”

Wang Wanyan’s pleasant voice came through.

It was weak.

Because the cover was extremely thick, it had a good sound insulation effect.

“I need to go into seclusion to break through to a new realm. I won’t need to eat these few days, you guys go ahead! And, don’t come to disturb me anymore.”

Qin Niu could only use a well-intentioned lie to avoid arousing his family’s suspicions.

As he spoke, a new wave of pain began once more.

The poison from the Black Spider Gu acted up, endlessly, and each episode was more severe than the last.

Qin Niu was also a stubborn one.

No matter how much it tormented him, he simply refused to give in.

He was very clear that if he compromised even once, he would be at the mercy of the Black Spider Gu for his entire life.

That was certainly not the outcome he wanted.

Now, all he could do was to endure it with the Gu.

As long as it emerged, Qin Niu could immediately handle it with the Termite Army.

He had long been harboring a ruthless determination in his heart, promising to kill it the moment the Black Spider Gu showed itself.

He had never suffered such a big loss before in his life.

In the dimly lit basement, he had completely lost any sense of time. He only knew that wave after wave of intense pain had descended upon him.

As if there was never an end.

In this way, he endured about thirty-seven or thirty-eight bouts of excruciating pain, nearly pushing him to the brink of collapse.

He still hadn’t caved in to the Black Spider Gu, and it was entirely due to the stubborn tenacity in his heart that he kept going.

At that moment, Qin Niu, lying on the ground, seemed to sense something.

His consciousness probed into the Hundred Treasures Insect Bag.

The Gold Devouring Ant had already finished eating the Copper Coin he had fed it.

He checked the other compartments.

He quickly found the reason that had triggered his sensation.

The Green Silk Worm had broken out of its cocoon, completing its devouring and leveling up.

Its appearance didn’t seem to have any significant changes from before.

Green Silk Worm (Mature Female)

Grade: Grade Five Annulata, leveling experience 100000/1000000

Lifespan: Infinite

Energy: 8911

Skills: Bloodsucking First Order 5.9/10, Venom First Order 7.1/10 (paralysis, coagulation), Tracking First Order 0/10 (can trace targets within a hundred miles based on the scent left behind or the scent of the offspring), Eavesdrop First Order 0/10 (can listen to everything near the offspring through the offspring), Morph.

Talent: Parasitism, Spirit Communication

After devouring the Blood Gu, it had advanced from Grade Four to Grade Five.

And two new skills had been added.

One was eavesdropping.

This skill allowed it to listen to nearby sounds through its offspring.

It was a very practical skill.

In the future, if Qin Niu wanted to understand the true thoughts or schemes of his enemies, he could simply let the offspring of the Green Silk Worm parasitize the enemy’s head, then easily listen to all their conversations with others through the Green Silk Worm.

The other new skill it had acquired was morphing.

This ability was definitely a significant enhancement for the Green Silk Worm.

“Very good!”

Qin Niu took out the Green Silk Worm.

It automatically attached to Qin Niu’s head, blending in with his hair.

Even if you were to hold a lantern, it would be hard to spot it.

Because after leveling up, it seemed to resemble hair even more.

When nestled on Qin Niu’s head, it looked just like any other strand of hair.

And it was firmly attached to Qin Niu’s head.

“Ah… dammit, it really is endless.”

A new round of pain started acting up.

Qin Niu clutched his stomach and cursed.

It was that Black Spider Gu hiding inside his body and not coming out that made him entertain the thought of fighting the Gu to the death.

Never had he hated a Gu insect to the bone like this.
