Chapter 110: Gu Egg Hatches, Myriad Loving Mothers In Sorrow
“What exactly is in this jar? Why do these Gu People Female Corpses look like their fathers have died!”
Hu Ba Yi and the others saw the appearance of these Gu People Female Corpses and couldn’t help but feel somewhat baffled.
Su Mo sneered coldly:
“What is sealed inside here is the Ghost Fetus!”
“Ghost Fetus?”
Hu Ba Yi and the others were all shocked speechless.
Even Zhang Qiling couldn’t help but change color in shock.
Many people have heard of Ghost Fetus, and there are sayings like “harboring a Ghost Fetus” in idioms, but this was the first time they had actually seen a real Ghost Fetus!
“This kind of Ghost Fetus was taken by Xian Wang from the Mountain Demon’s body, sealed with talisman water in an Earthen Jar, preserving the so-called Mountain God’s power. What controls and attracts these Gu People Female Corpses to obediently be devoured by the Huo Clan Undying Worm is also this Ghost Fetus!”
After Su Mo finished speaking, he directly poured out the clear water from the jar, and the emerald green small fetus-shaped thing inside was also poured out by him and held in his hand.
This thing was only the size of a fist, with a particularly large head, eyes tightly closed, lifelike!
Perhaps due to the angle, or the shadow of the light, when Hu Ba Yi and the others looked at this Ghost Fetus, they suddenly felt it seemed to abruptly open its eyes.
And at the instant the Ghost Fetus seemed to open its eyes, the Gu People Female Corpses in the distance suddenly let out a low roar and charged forward again.
At this moment, Su Mo suddenly shouted angrily and grabbed the Ghost Fetus in his hand.
Those Gu People Female Corpses had just rushed a few steps when they suddenly stopped again, their pairs of pale eyes looking at the Ghost Fetus in Su Mo’s hand, all emitting low hisses.
“Sure enough, it is this thing attracting and controlling these Gu People!”
Xue Li Yang frowned as she looked at the distant Gu People Female Corpses and said:
“What should we do now?”
Su Mo glanced at the surrounding Gu People Female Corpses and said:
“Everything here should come to an end!”
“These Gu People were all women killed by Xian Wang, and the Gu Eggs on their bodies are also fetuses that can never become adults!”
“Now I am prepared to destroy this Ghost Fetus, but once I destroy it, the Gu People here will lose control. Although they will no longer repeat being devoured by the Huo Clan Undying Worm and then excreted into Reincarnation, the Gu Eggs on their bodies will hatch into an extremely terrifying kind of Small Gu Person!”
“These Small Gu People are even more terrifying than their mothers, completely an uncontrollable bizarre creature. After destroying the Ghost Fetus, we must find a way to eliminate these Gu Eggs as well!”
After hearing Su Mo’s words, Xue Li Yang and the others immediately said:
“Just tell us what to do!”
Su Mo nodded, then turned his gaze to the Ghost Fetus.
How to do it to permanently eliminate the Gu Technique here, thoroughly release these Gu People Female Corpses who have been repeating painful Reincarnation for thousands of years, as if fallen into endless Hell, let them return to dust, while not allowing these Gu Eggs to hatch into Small Gu People and leave future troubles—this, Su Mo had not yet figured out.
Although he had already gained Enlightenment in Gu God’s Guidance, what he knew was only the method Xian Wang used to create and control them.
How to thoroughly destroy them remained a puzzle!
Su Mo fixed his gaze on the Jade Ghost Fetus, frowning in deep thought.
The Ghost Fetus in his hand emitted a faint green glow in his palm, trembling as if breathing, with a sinister aura drifting around its body.
“You gaze at the Ghost Fetus and suddenly gain Enlightenment. Boundless Demonic Eyes’ control over Ghost Soldiers power improves!”
“Your control over Ghost Soldiers increases; the number of Ghost Soldiers summonable from the Ghost Seal increases to a hundred!”
Hearing the prompt in his ear, Su Mo suddenly felt a surge of joy.
Originally, after obtaining the Ghost Seal, his Boundless Demonic Eyes had gained the ability to control Ghost Soldiers, but the limit was only ten.
But now, by gazing at the Ghost Fetus, he suddenly gained Enlightenment, and his control power over Ghost Soldiers power surged, instantly increasing the number of summonable Ghost Soldiers tenfold!
“Ghost Soldiers!”
Su Mo suddenly thought of a way!
There were numerous Gu People Female Corpses here, at least several thousand. If the Gu Eggs on them all hatched after destroying the Ghost Fetus, the number of produced Gu People would also be in the thousands. Hu Ba Yi and their Assault Rifles alone could not kill them all.
But with Ghost Soldiers, it was different!
Su Mo could completely control the Ghost Soldiers to encircle the Gu People from around the Gourd Cave, along with Hu Ba Yi and their Assault Rifles, Zhang Qiling’s Black Gold Ancient Blade, and his own Frost Moon Sword, to kill all the hatched Gu People without issue.
Even if a few slipped through the net, they would no longer pose a major threat by then!
Thinking of this, Su Mo had a plan in mind and turned to Hu Ba Yi and the others:
“Get your weapons and ammunition ready!”
Hu Ba Yi and the others quickly refilled the bullets in their Thompson Submachine Guns and loaded a few more Magazines.
Zhang Qiling also gripped the Black Gold Ancient Blade tightly, ready for battle at any time.
Seeing that all four were prepared, Su Mo turned his gaze back to the Ghost Fetus.
The Ghost Fetus trembled in his hand, as if sensing his Determination to destroy it.
In the distance, the Gu People Female Corpses seemed to sense an ominous feeling from the Ghost Fetus and began slowly approaching Hu Ba Yi and the others, continuously emitting low roars.
Su Mo sneered coldly, then suddenly exerted force with his left hand.
Crack!
The Jade Ghost Fetus shattered instantly in his hand, like a crushed Egg shell, and a thick Black Qi drifted out from the Ghost Fetus.
As the Ghost Fetus shattered, the surrounding Gu People Female Corpses suddenly erupted in a chorus of roars.
However, they did not immediately attack Su Mo and the others. Instead, they suddenly began spinning crazily like they had lost their parents, wandering and roaring on the water surface, while some Gu People Female Corpses turned and dove into the water.
With the Ghost Fetus completely pulverized, the power controlling these Gu People Female Corpses vanished instantly, and they seemed to suddenly lose their direction.
Some Gu People Female Corpses suddenly went limp, changing from their previous posture of floating face-up with limbs in reverse joints on the water surface to prostrating face-down in the water, exposing the Gu Eggs on their backs.
These Gu Eggs began to tremble rhythmically like breathing, while the Shadowy Figure inside kept expanding and growing, as if the Gu Person fetus inside was rapidly growing at a visible speed.
And as these Gu Person fetuses grew, the female corpses no longer retained the plumpness and luster of freshly dead bodies; the Skin on their bodies rapidly shriveled and withered!
In just a few minutes, their bodies became shriveled and yellowed like Mummified Corpses, while the Gu Eggs on their bodies rapidly grew, as if the Gu Eggs had absorbed all the power and nutrients from the mother body in an extremely short time.
Pop!
One Gu Egg suddenly burst open, and with a splash of juice mixed with green and bright red, a small infant-like thing crawled out from the back of the Gu Person mother body!
A baby’s cry emanated from the mouth of that fetus-shaped Gu Person that had just crawled out of the mother body.
This thing was all over eerie green, resembling a fetus, but when it opened its mouth to cry, its mouth split into four petals from the center, each petal’s corners filled with sharp fleshy teeth like barbs, just like the mouthparts of a terrifying insect!
In the cry, a bright red tongue even stretched out from its mouth.
But that tongue was more like a straw or something, seemingly able to suck Blood!
Xue Li Yang and the others were all quite frightened, and seeing this half-human half-insect Gu Infant, they couldn’t help but shudder.
Immediately after, a series of light popping sounds followed, and a few more Gu Infants hatched from the mother bodies’ backs.
The eerie sounds like infant cries instantly echoed throughout the Cave!
