Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 709: Valley Scene, Crazy Killing Spider Detective
Zhang Zhiwei transformed into a spider, hanging on spider silk, and swung into the valley shrouded in gray fog.

Outside the valley is a bright and beautiful world, but inside the valley is a den of demons and ghosts.

Deep in the fog, there was a constant sound of low crying, and from time to time there were a few screams.

The spider that Zhang Zhiwei transformed into had eight eyes flashing, and he saw a child about one or two years old crying sadly behind a rock in the valley.

The boy only had the upper half of his body, and his lower half was empty and crawling with densely packed little spiders, which were gnawing at his body like silkworms gnawing at mulberry leaves.

Zhang Zhiwei passed by here like a spider silk, without stopping for a moment.

The so-called boy was not a human being, but just a wisp of resentment and unwillingness born out of a person's death, mixed with Qi and giving rise to evil spirits.

The more confined the environment, the harder it is for Qi to circulate. If Qi accumulates somewhere, it can easily merge with the resentment of a dying person, giving rise to resentful evil.

This is somewhat similar to the birth of Qi Bureau. In essence, Qi is in a closed environment, and by chance, a trajectory of Qi is formed, which then gives rise to all kinds of incredible things.

This is why most haunted places are closed, dark, and stuffy.

The current kind of vengeful evil spirits are also called earthbound spirits. They are generally unconscious, but will instinctively lure living people to repeat the way they died, just like a drowned ghost pulling people into the water.

The method to break them is also very simple. The first is to go in directly and disperse this trace of resentment.

But this is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. If the closed environment is not changed, new evil spirits will be born soon.

This is why ghosts and evil spirits in some places are like weeds, which grow back in clusters after being harvested.

The fundamental solution is to directly change the geographical environment and break the closed space that causes Qi to accumulate. This is like breaking the Dantian and meridians of an extraordinary person. Without these, an extraordinary person will be useless. Without these, no strange phenomena will naturally occur in the region.

However... Zhang Zhiwei's eight eyes glanced back at the resentful boy who was being eaten by a spider behind him. He felt that the resentment of this boy was not formed naturally, but was deliberate.

"Use their resentment to feed those mist-breathing spiders?" Zhang Zhiwei said to himself.

This is actually not something that is worth being surprised about, as all evil things usually need to be fed with resentment.

For example, if you want to raise a powerful flying zombie, you must have a corpse-raising ground full of resentment.

As for Gu... although there are both good and evil ones, most of them are evil.

After all, putting snakes, rats, and even various poisonous insects in a Gu, letting them fight and devour each other, until only one is left, it is hard to say what is good about things cultivated in this way.

Even if the Gu Master is a good person, the Gu in his hand is most likely an evil creature filled with resentment and hostility.

The best way to cultivate this kind of evil creature is to feed it with resentment.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwei guessed that the evil spirit that looked like a boy should be a member of the Medicine Fairy Society, who was specially created to feed the poisonous insects.

He continued forward and found that, as he expected, more and more evil spirits similar to the little boy appeared in the valley.

Some of them had just been born, with relatively complete bodies, hands and feet; some had been eaten by spiders and were about to disappear, leaving only a distorted and hideous blurry face, appearing and disappearing from time to time, wailing.

"There are so many, and I don't know how many people died!"

Zhang Zhiwei muttered to himself and stared over there.

Although he is unable to perform any tricks in his current form, his life force is still there.

The powerful mental force in "Sex" was released through his eyes, shattering the resentful thoughts, causing them to collapse into a ball of Qi, and then dissipating into cold wind.

Zhang Zhiwei glared away those resentful demons and continued to move forward. Not long after, he saw eight scarlet spots of light in the thick fog.

Zhang Zhiwei had nothing to worry about and continued to move forward. Soon he discovered that the eight balls of light were actually the eight eyes of a giant spider.

The spider was more than two meters tall and four meters long, like a small hill. Its body was very mottled and colorful, and its legs were covered with sharp barbs.

It lay on the ground, and wisps of spider silk like smoke flew out from its abdomen and merged into the surrounding mist.

While spinning silk, it is also eating at the same time. Its food is the endless resentment in the air.

At the same time, there are many skeletons under its feet. Some have turned into white bones, and some are just skin and bones, but the flesh is gone. There is a huge hole on the top of their heads.

Considering the way spiders eat, they must have had their heads chiseled open by the spiders, which injected digestive fluid, melted their blood and flesh into juice and sucked them up.

"This should be the living Gu raised by the Medicine Fairy. Judging from its size, it must have been raised for many years. And those little spiders at the entrance of the valley should be its descendants." Zhang Zhiwei thought.

There are many skills in Gu technique, for example, the live Gu is to use methods on living things to turn them into Gu. The Holy Child with Gu Body is a live Gu.

However, turning a person into a Gu is a side path. Most Gu masters turn poisonous creatures into Gu, such as spiders, scorpions, venomous snakes, etc.

Like another group of Gu Masters, in Qinghe Village where Wei Shufen, one of the Thirty-Six Thieves, lives, the great Gu Master in their village possesses a giant king cobra that can control a group of snakes.

Zhang Zhiwei transformed into the descendant of a giant spider and floated past the giant spider.

At this distance, he could have killed the giant spider with one strike, but he didn't. The spider was a poisonous insect and had a close connection with the poison master. If he killed it, the poison master would definitely know.

If the Gu Master is killed, the Gu insects will become ownerless and might cause a riot.

After passing the big spider, Zhang Zhiwei continued to move forward. There was no fog behind the big spider, and the front suddenly became clear, revealing an empty and flat valley.

There are many stilt houses in the middle of the valley. Black-robed Gu Masters walk above the stilt houses from time to time, while below the stilt houses are densely populated with poisonous insects, snakes and ants.

At this point, it would be a bit inappropriate to turn into a small spider that spit out mist. Zhang Zhiwei transformed himself into a big, palm-sized, fluffy spider, blending in perfectly.

Zhang Zhiwei began to scout in the valley. From time to time, scorpions and poisonous snakes blocked his way and attacked him.

This is also one of the strategies of the Medicine Fairy Society to raise poisonous insects. They raise a large number of poisonous insects in the valley, let them kill each other, and cultivate unique and highly poisonous creatures.

This unique and highly poisonous substance means that it is qualified to be cultivated into a live Gu.

Faced with these blind poisonous insects blocking the road, Zhang Zhiwei did not tolerate them. He waved his limbs and crushed them to death at will.

After killing a few blind poisonous insects, Zhang Zhiwei discovered several large holes around the valley. He spit out a long silk thread and stuck it on the top of the cave, then flew over and hung upside down above the cave, looking inside. In the cave, there were many children sitting cross-legged on the ground, practicing Qi breathing.

In fact, the so-called practice of Qi is actually the practice of poison. One uses one's own internal organs as vessels to refine poison and make oneself more deadly.

Although the poisons made by these children are different, they are all extremely toxic.

When they practiced together, they would practice breathing exercises. With each breath, the poisonous gas would be exhaled and then immediately taken back into the body.

Because the distance was too close and it was a closed environment like a cave, when they breathed in and out, the poisonous Qi could not disperse, but would merge with each other to create new poison.

And when they breathe, they will also absorb this fusion poison into their bodies.

This will make them more poisonous, but if their own cultivation is poor and the toxicity is weak, they will be killed by the backlash and unable to absorb and digest it.

This cave is like a Gu jar. The children inside are worms. When only one is left, the Gu is successfully made, and that person is the Gu-body Holy Child.

Zhang Zhiwei took a glance and realized that to raise a holy child with poison, forty-nine children who were skilled in poison were needed, but there were only about twenty children left in the cave.

In other words, more than twenty children have died on the road of raising Gu.

In the cave, besides the children who were making poisonous insects, there were two men in black robes standing there.

In order to isolate themselves from the poisonous energy around them, the two of them wrapped themselves tightly and even covered their eyes with black cloth.

The two of them just stood in front of the group of children. Although they looked like standing there like wood, as long as the children who were practicing martial arts made the slightest movement, they would go over and punish them severely.

As for what the punishment is...

Zhang Zhiwei looked at those children. Many of them were blind in one eye, missing an ear, or had broken arms and legs. If his guess was correct, these children were probably punished for not following the rules.

Zhang Zhiwei stared at the two men in black robes, then swung out of the cave and looked into the valley. There were several similar caves.

He could sense that there was a considerable amount of Qi flowing in every cave, making it very mottled.

If nothing unexpected happens, these caves are full of Gu jars, in which Gu-born holy children are being cultivated.

Zhang Zhiwei thought for a moment, looked at the two men in black, and with an idea, he spit out nearly transparent silk threads, which flew over their heads. The spider silk flew, making a slight sound of breaking wind in the cave.

The sound was very thin and sharp, like the flapping of a bee's wings. It might be difficult to detect in the outside world, but in this cave where you can hear a pin drop, it was very obvious.

The two men in black robes looked around, trying to find the source of the sound, but at this moment, they felt like they were lightly bitten by a mosquito on their arms, and then the pain spread. Zhang Zhiwei tightened the silk thread he had spit out.

Originally, the spider's silk thread was ordinary and could be easily torn apart, but Zhang Zhiwei had a high level of life cultivation, so the spider silk he spit out was naturally very tough. It was no exaggeration to say that it was comparable to steel.

These steel-strong threads instantly tightened, like invisible sharp blades cutting through the bodies of the two men in black robes.

In just a moment, the two men in black robes were dismembered and turned into two enchanting blood flowers.

After witnessing this horrifying scene, the Gu children in the cave acted as if they saw nothing. They did not move at all and continued to practice Qi.

"No reaction at all? This is just like Chen Duo, whose mind has been completely destroyed!" Zhang Zhiwei thought to himself, but he did not dare to contact these children rashly.

He thought for a moment, put away the silk threads, turned around and was about to leave the cave.

When he walked to a few meters away from the cave entrance, he continued to spin silk, weaving a web-like spider silk to block the cave entrance.

In this way, even if something happens later, it will not affect the poisoned children inside.

Afterwards, Zhang Zhiwu visited several other caves and, like before, killed several men in black robes in front of Gu Tong and blocked the caves with spider silk.

It is worth mentioning that when the black-robed men were killed in the second cave, the poisonous insect carried by one of the black-robed men started to riot.

It was a scorpion, trapped in a Gu by the black-robed Gu Master. After realizing that the Gu Master was dead, it went crazy and attacked the Gu boy in the cave.

Each of those Gu children was a man who remained calm even when faced with a catastrophe. When they saw the scorpion rushing towards them, they simply did not move.

It was Zhang Zhiwei who descended from the sky, and his eight legs were like eight swords and spears, directly stabbing the scorpion to death.

After dealing with several black-robed Gu Masters in the caves, Zhang Zhiwei looked towards the stilt houses in the valley.

There are many Gu Masters in the stilt houses, and killing them there will easily cause a big commotion.

Although Zhang Zhiwei was not afraid of a big commotion, he was alone. If he really started fighting, some of the Medicine Fairy Society's poison masters scattered around the valley might flee.

After thinking about it, Zhang Zhiwei decided to deal with those who were alone first, and then deal with those who were in a group. So he turned into Spider Detective and started to fight in the wild.

There are quite a few scattered Gu Masters in this valley. Some of them are selecting poisonous insects from the wild to make food, some are picking poisonous flowers and plants, and some are training Gu insects...

Zhang Zhiwei approached silently in the form of a spider, and then attacked silently.

Although Gu Masters also practice Qi, they are specialized in their own fields. If they do not have Gu worms that are specifically used to improve physical fitness, their physical fitness will not be very high. How can they withstand Zhang Zhiwei's sneak attack?

Even though Zhang Zhiwei is in the form of a spider now and cannot use many tricks, his life force is still there. Not to mention these poison masters, even Lu Jin and Lu Ci cannot stop him.

Because of previous examples, after killing the Gu Masters, Zhang Zhiwei would find out the Gu insects they carried with them and kill them all at once. This was not difficult.

After killing someone, he would dispose of the body to avoid it being discovered.

The method of dealing with it is very simple. You just need to lift the corpse, then spit out spider silk, and grab the corpse and roll it continuously. In just a few breaths, you can wrap the corpse into a cocoon.

Then, throw the cocoon into the mist at the edge of the valley.

Although the human-sized cocoon looked a little strange, it was not that strange in this valley full of poisonous insects.

After stealthily killing many black-robed Gu Masters scattered around the valley, Zhang Zhiwei looked towards the cluster of stilt houses in the valley, and it was time to take action against the Gu Masters there.
