It was precisely the Heart Devouring Gu, one of the top ten vile insects. This type of bug specializes in eating people's heart and lungs, and then it controls their mind and eats humans.

It could be said that the power of this bug was not inferior to a nuclear bomb. It was completely on a different level compared to the decapitation Gu from before.

"This Heart Devouring Gu is said to be a sacred artifact of the Miao Prefecture's Black Miao Village. I don't know why it would appear here."

Wu Dong muttered to himself, he never thought that he would meet such a vicious being. The Heart Devouring Gu was untouchable, even if it was separated by items, it could not be killed, it was simply invulnerable to weapons.

This caused him to be in a dilemma. He couldn't kill or even touch them, so could he just cover them up with the floor tiles again?

When this place was demolished, the Heart Devouring Gu would be released, and at the very least, everyone in the village would die or become zombies. Wu Dong's brain worked hard but he couldn't think of an effective method, after thinking for a long time he suddenly understood why the Old Lady Lin did not allow him to demolish the village.

"Sister Wang, Brother Dong, let's go eat at our place."

Just at this time, the innocent Gou Dan ran in. Due to the inertia from his body, he stepped into the deep pit.

"Don't …"

Wu Dong shouted as he reached out to grab at Gou Dan's calf, but he was just a step too late.

"Bang …"

Gou Dan did not make a sound, and his body fell straight down. A fist-sized black spot could be seen rising from his leg at a visible speed, Wu Dong then took out ten "Broken Gu".

The golden needles tore off Gou Dan's clothes and pierced into the big acupoints all over his body. However, the effect was minimal, as it only slowed down the rate at which the Heart Devouring Gu rose.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Manli ran in with a puzzled expression.

"You go out first, I have no time to waste on you."

Wu Dong replied impatiently as he paced back and forth in the room, trying to think of a solution.

"Oh …"

Wang Manli knew what was important and after her beautiful eyes glanced at the smooth and sleek Gou Dan, she turned around and walked out, closing the door at the same time.

Seeing the Heart Devouring Gu reaching Gou Dan's thighs, Wu Dong was so anxious that his head was covered in sweat. This was the first time he truly hated himself for being incapable of doing anything.

The first time he saw Gou Dan, Wu Dong already felt a deep sense of familiarity toward him. In the very first year of his life, the only person who was luckier than Gou Dan was merely having an extraordinary old man as his master.

"Yes …" "Gu arts!"

Wu Dong's footsteps suddenly stopped, a light aura arose in his mind, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed as he walked over quickly towards the corpse of the Old Lady Lin.

Since it is a Gu, there must be a Gu technique to control it. Otherwise, why would Old Lady Lin put it inside the house peacefully?

Wu Dong found a bunch of bottles and jars on Old Lady Lin's corpse, but he didn't have the Gu technique he wanted, so he casually threw Old Lady Lin's corpse to the side and started to look around the room. He found a large pile of junk, and there was even tens of thousands of dollars, but there was no Gu technique he wanted.

"What should I do …"

Wu Dong sat on the ground with a head full of sweat as he watched the black dot slowly rise to his chest.

Once the Heart Devouring Gu entered Gou Dan's brain, Gou Dan would immediately become a walking corpse that only knew how to bite.

Time trickled by, and just as the Heart Devouring Gu was about to enter Gou Dan's mind, deep remorse and helplessness surfaced in his heart.

Just as Wu Dong was about to stand up, he saw a tattered book lying on the table.

Wu Dong walked over with large strides, kicked the table open and picked up the book. He skimmed through it and realized that it was a book that recorded the Black Seedling Spell, but because it was so old and incomplete, it lacked a lot of content.

"I'll give it a try …"

After taking note of it, Wu Dong helped Gou Dan up, took out a golden needle and inserted it into his head, then gently rubbed his fingers on the needle's tail.

It was the God Summoning Needle from the Nine Needles of the Coffin of Heaven. It could awaken a person's consciousness at any time.

Wu Dong slowly woke up and before he could scream, he quickly said: "Gou Dan, you have been inflicted with a type of parasite. Endure the pain and carefully read the book, and try to control the parasites in your body.

With that, he opened the book with one hand and placed it in front of Gou Dan.

Gou Dan's face twisted, his teeth clenched tightly as he struggled to open his eyes and look at the book in front of him. After a long time, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "No … Recognize... "Word..."

After Wu Dong heard this, he cursed under his breath, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

After that, he quickly recited the words over and over again. Then, he used his backhand to repeatedly insert needles into his body to help alleviate the growth of the Heart Devouring Gu.

As time passed, Wu Dong maintained Gou Dan's consciousness and eased the rise of the Heart Devouring Gu at the same time. His mind gradually couldn't take it anymore, and he clenched his teeth to resist the waves of dizziness, trying his best to not make his fingers tremble the slightest.

As Wu Dong was almost unable to hold on any longer, the black spots on his body slowly moved downwards, and gradually stopped at his lower abdomen. Gou Dan's contorted face also returned to normal.

"Phew …"

Wu Dong pulled out the golden needles on Gou Dan's body and heaved a sigh of relief, then fell down to the ground.

"Brother Dong, what happened to me?"

Gou Dan's eyes twitched, and his voice trembled as he asked.

After Wu Dong and Gou Dan explained things to each other, Gou Dan became silent. Wu Dong knew that this kind of thing for a seventeen year old youngster, was simply unimaginable, and exceeded the limits of what he could endure.
