Raising Silkworms and Refining Gu from Mount Hundred Thousand

Zhou Qing passed through the inaccessible miasma area and arrived at the cave on the edge of the cliff.

"Um?"

As soon as Fang entered the entrance of the cave, Zhou Qing noticed something was wrong.

There were many carcasses of purple fire flying ants on the ground, basically eaten until only their wings were left.

And at such a close distance, he couldn't sense the existence of the seven ant kings.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing immediately released the second batch of purple fire flying ants to enter the cave first.

"How did those purple fire flying ants die without the invasion of foreign enemies?"

As if sensing Zhou Qing's call, with a buzzing sound, four golden silkworm Gu flew back from outside the cave at an extremely fast speed.

"It seems that we need to strengthen the control of the golden silkworm Gu." Zhou Qing bit his finger and dripped blood into his palm.

Fortunately, Zhou Qing had strengthened his control over the Golden Silkworm Gu, so the Golden Silkworm Gu showed no signs of backlash and just kept struggling.

Based on the skills he has mastered so far, proficiency is divided into five levels.

[Refining: Green Silk Gu (Er Green)]

In order to test how hard the golden silkworm Gu's shell was, Zhou Qing pulled out the demon-slaying knife. The blue blade seemed to be quenched with poison, glowing with a cold light.

The mouthparts of the Golden Silkworm Gu occupy almost half of the body, and are obviously not used for decoration.

The first time he saw Zhou Qing when he opened his eyes, Er Qing was very excited and rushed to Zhou Qing's shoulder.

[Technique: Sericulture and mulberry harvesting]

However, Golden Silkworm Gu can fly, and it will not stay still in the air and be hacked during a battle.

I saw that the Golden Silkworm Gu had changed from emerald green to gold and white in color. Its appearance was still the shape of a silkworm, and its originally soft outer skin had turned into a hard shell unique to insects.

[Progress: Perfect (800/800)] → [Progress: Superb (1/800)]

[Effect: You have a pair of ingenious hands, and your craftsmanship is superb. The vitality of the silkworms that you have taken care of will be greatly enhanced. Even the most common silkworms can be bred to produce mutant silkworms that can adapt to strong winds and heavy rains. Under your hands, it will no longer be difficult for silkworms to mutate. As your hand dexterity increases, your skills in related areas will also be enhanced. 】

"It seems that the Golden Silkworm Gu can't hold it against better weapons."

[Occupation: Silkworm farmer]

Entry, proficiency, proficiency, perfection, perfection.

Four golden silkworm Gu immediately competed to share his blood.

[You get a new poison—Corpse Venom Centipede]

"Puff!"

Zhou Qing nodded secretly.

I saw an emerald green caterpillar about a foot long lying in one of the pots. It was Erqing.

Zhou Qing let go of the golden silkworm Gu in his hand, walked to the clay pot containing Er Qing, squeezed out some blood from the wound on his finger and fed it to Er Qing.

"Buzz!"

[You have obtained a new Gu—Double-winged Golden Silkworm Gu]

Zhou Qing frowned, he didn't expect the golden silkworm Gu to be so vicious.

It was Chi Yan who had completed his evolution.

"As for the changes in my hands, I'm not in a hurry to test them."

"This is."

However, the other clay pot was empty.

[Progress: Limit Breaking (800/800)]

The Golden Silkworm Gu has a body with four segments, and there are two pairs of tiny claws under each segment, for a total of eight pairs.

"Where's the Golden Silkworm Gu?" Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows, quickly calmed down, and searched for the location of the Golden Silkworm Gu through weak induction.

But for Zhou Qing, it is better to have it.

"Let's first see how strong the defense of this golden silkworm Gu is."

Seeing this situation, he first took out the hatchet placed in the cave and raised the golden silkworm Gu in his hand.

Zhou Qing stretched out his hand, and four golden silkworm Gu fell into his palm.

[Double-winged Golden Silkworm Gu: Evolved from the Golden Silkworm Gu, it is extremely fast, flexible and fierce, easily invulnerable to swords and invulnerable to water and fire. It can be fed various kinds of blood food to help it grow and evolve, and it is best to feed the five poisons. 】

More importantly, Golden Silkworm Gu has a very strong reproductive ability.

As Zhou Qing brought the sharp blade closer, the golden silkworm Gu in his hand seemed to feel a fatal threat and struggled violently.

A pair of semi-convex eyes like black jade, with countless grid lines on the surface, which seems to be a strange compound eye structure. Under the eyes, there is a pair of huge mouthparts like beetles.

On the back of the first and second body segments, there is a pair of beetle-like elytra.

After confirming that it was safe, he entered the cave.

Zhou Qing's face was filled with joy, as his sericulture skills, which had been stagnant for a long time, had finally made a breakthrough.

"匌啷～"

The four golden silkworm Gu still have the aura of purple fire flying ants on their bodies. One of the golden silkworm Gu's mouthparts is opening and closing, chewing the remains of an ant king.

"Stab it!"

Zhou Qing's attention returned to the golden silkworm Gu. It seems that raising golden silkworm Gu can also continue to strengthen the [sericulture breeder] profession. This is an unexpected surprise.

Even though he didn't use all his strength just now, the force of the slash was still over a hundred kilograms.

As Chi Yan approached, lines of text appeared in Zhou Qing's sight.

[Corpse poison centipede: It is mutated by the golden-backed centipede after swallowing the evil poison. The body contains corpse poison. The poisoned person will have cold evil invade the body, causing body ulcers and stiffness. You can feed Yin evil poisons to help them grow and evolve. 】

At the same time, Zhou Qing felt his hands heat up, as if some magical change had occurred.

[Evolution direction: To be determined (can feed any highly poisonous thing, including but not limited to poisonous insects and poisonous flowers)]

Zhou Qing squeezed the golden silkworm Gu in his palm and found that the carapace on its surface was very hard and difficult to squeeze.

He summoned the chopped Golden Silkworm Gu and held it in his hand for inspection. He saw that the hard shell of the Golden Silkworm Gu was intact.

One or two golden silkworm Gu are not afraid of swords, which is nothing, but if there are hundreds or thousands of golden silkworm Gu, it will be very scary.

I don’t know if there is anything beyond transcendence.

There were so many purple fire flying ants that he didn't care if some of them died. Even the ant king could cultivate more than a dozen of them every month. It all depended on whether he was willing to focus on cultivating them.

The changes in the hands are very obvious.

After eating Zhou Qing's blood, the aura of the Golden Silkworm Gu became stronger, and the color of one of the Golden Silkworm Gu became noticeably darker, changing from gold and white to light gold.

When he entered the open area where the cold pool was, a large black and red centipede about three feet long crawled towards him.

As the jade tablet in the soul bloomed with a faint divine light, a line of text appeared in Zhou Qing's sight.

In this case, he will have to find ways to cultivate more silkworm Gu insects in the future.

Fortunately, they did not attack Erqing.

"The ant king was eaten by you!"

After a moment, Erqing, who was originally lying down, suddenly stood up.

Zhou Qing used the demon-slaying knife to scratch the hard shell of the Golden Silkworm Gu. In the dim cave, sparks lit up. He looked intently and saw a scratch on the hard shell.

Otherwise, it would have been eaten by Er Qing.

Ding!

Zhou Qing slashed down with his sword, and the hard shell of one of the golden silkworm Gus hit the center of the blade, making a metallic collision sound.

At this time, Zhou Qing walked to the other two pots to check.

"Does miasma count if any poisonous thing qualifies?"

Zhou Qing had a flash of inspiration and remembered the pink miasma he discovered a few days ago.
