Chapter 374: Chapter 367: Successfully Subdued_1

“`

The Green Silk Worm was no match for it; its strength was slightly weaker, but not by too much.

If the Green Silk Worm could advance to Grade Six, perhaps it would be able to defeat it.

Currently, it was only at Grade Five, a level lower.

After fighting with the Green Silk Worm, the Black Spider Gu could no longer release its venom to torture Qin Niu.

This gave him a chance to catch his breath.

Taking a slight breath, Qin Niu quickly took out a wooden box from his chest, which contained a Talisman.

He did not use an Advanced Contract Talisman directly because it was too precious.

One could only buy one or two at a time.

It belonged to the series that was difficult to buy even with money.

Moreover, at a price of a Hundred Taels of Silver for each, it was certainly not cheap.

Just now, he had been contemplating ways to deal with the Black Spider Gu. Since it was a semi-finished product cultivated by Elder Mei, it should be somewhere between half Gu half worm.

Isn’t that quite similar to the current state of the Green Silk Worm?

Since he could tame the Green Silk Worm as a pet, he should be able to tame this terrifying Black Spider Gu as one too.

This was an epiphany Qin Niu had amidst excruciating pain.

He took out a medium-grade Contractual Talisman and without hesitation, activated it with his power.

The Talisman turned into a beam of golden light and shot out.

“Go!”

Qin Niu pointed at his own stomach.

Because the insect he was trying to tame this time was quite unique, inside his body, he did not know if it was feasible.

The golden light weakened significantly as it entered his abdomen.

Under the control of Qin Niu’s spiritual power, it eventually reached the position of the black mist.

It shot directly into the black mist.

In an instant, the black mist was dyed gold.

The golden light of the Talisman was not repelled, indicating there was hope in taming it.

The Green Silk Worm had already established a servant-master contract with Qin Niu, so it was not affected at all.

The golden light continued to permeate the black mist.

However, realizing the danger, the Black Spider Gu resisted fiercely.

The black mist churned as it desperately struggled.

After a while, the golden light began to fade, showing signs of dissipating.

This was because the energy of the Contractual Talisman was about to be depleted.

Qin Niu immediately took out another medium-grade Contractual Talisman and sparked it without hesitation, directing the golden light to replenish it.

One medium-grade Contractual Talisman cost Ten Taels of Silver.

It was only because he had some financial resource now that he could afford to use them so generously.

When he was just starting, he would use even a Low-grade Contract Charm, worth just One Tael of Silver, with extreme caution.

…

Time was passing quickly.

By the time he used the sixth medium-grade Contractual Talisman, the black mist slowly turned completely gold.

Then, the golden light began to fade little by little within the black mist.

In fact, it hadn’t disappeared but had been absorbed by it.

Moments later, a beam of golden light flew out of the black mist.

Qin Niu was overjoyed and quickly caught it.

After the golden light flew out of Qin Niu’s abdominal cavity, it directly entered his brow.

Through his efforts, the contract was finally successfully established.

And it was a master-servant contract.

He could now fully control the life and death of the Black Spider Gu.

“Little thing, you thought you were so tough? Now what? Aren’t you still tamed by me!”

Qin Niu had been tormented to death’s door by the Black Spider Gu, helpless to do anything.

Thanks to the Green Silk Worm’s assistance, he reversed this passive situation.

In the end, more than he dared to imagine, he tamed it directly.

“Come out!”

Qin Niu commanded it.

The Black Spider Gu turned into a stream of black mist and drilled out from Qin Niu’s nostrils. Then it transformed into a small black spider, shiny and black all over.

Its body was covered with intricate stripes of blood, almost spanning most of its body.

However, on closer inspection, one could notice that although these stripes were disorderly, they betrayed an underlying order, yet something seemed missing. Together, they did not form a complete Talisman.

In Qin Niu’s Ink Blade, at the beginning, there were some special patterns too.

Eventually, after successful blade cultivation, those patterns inside the blade transformed into a Talisman containing the laws of the Dao. That was what allowed the Ink Blade to become a spiritual weapon and to possess its own spiritual consciousness.

This Black Spider Gu was an incomplete product, and the problem seemed to lie here.

Normally, the pattern on its body should form a complete Talisman.

Looking at its shiny black body, Qin Niu knew that it must be extremely poisonous.

Other insects would die from the poison with just one touch.

The poison of a Gu is the most terrifying.

This Black Spider Gu was the king of poison.

Things like centipedes, scorpions, and cobras were far inferior to it.

“Let’s check your attributes first!”

Having been tormented by this Black Spider Gu to the point of near death, he wanted to see what special abilities it possessed.

Black Spider Gu (Hermaphroditic)

Grade: Grade Six Araneae Order Funnel-web Spider Family Gu Spider, Upgrade Experience 7118029/10000000

Lifespan: Infinite

Energy: 79180

Skills: Bloodsucking Tier Three 701.9/1000, Venom Tier Five 67009/100000 (Mixed Gu poison, capable of attacking both the spirit and the body), Morphing Tier Four 1078/10000 (Disperses into formlessness, coalesces into a spider), Reproduction Tier One 0.7/10 (Can breed offspring Gu, highly poisonous, possesses about 30% of the mother Gu’s capabilities).

Talent: Gu Allure.

After reviewing the abilities of the Black Spider Gu, Qin Niu felt its most formidable aspect was the Gu poison.

And its morphing ability.

Once it penetrated an enemy’s body, it was virtually impossible to locate.

Moreover, martial power was ineffective against it.

Mental attacks were equally futile.

This one aspect alone made it one of the most difficult Gu poisons to deal with.

Furthermore, its terrifying Gu poison was capable of continuous evolution.

Because it needed to constantly consume more potent toxins to enhance the power of its Gu poison.

The Black Spider Gu looked at him with an innocent face.

Lying motionless on his hand.

“Why do you constantly need to consume more poisonous venom?”

Qin Niu asked it.

“It’s just my instinct. Consuming stronger venom makes me stronger and feels particularly soothing,” it responded.

No wonder it had been relentlessly tormenting its host.

Forcing the host to find it more potent venomous insects and snakes.

Like humans, it was just another method of cultivation for it.

“What would happen if you don’t consume more potent venom for a long time?”

“I would feel great pain, as if I were dying,” it explained.

“When you attacked me earlier, causing stomach and head pains, was that the Gu poison attacking me?”

“Yes! I control the release concentration of the Gu poison and would not actually poison you to death.”

It indeed was the Gu poison.

Qin Niu did not want to experience it again.

Because that kind of Gu poison was truly dreadful.

“Alright, from now on, don’t stay inside my body, just stay in the Insect Bag!”

Qin Niu already harbored a psychological shadow.

He placed it into the Hundred Treasures Insect Bag.

But shortly after it was put away, it sent a pleading signal to Qin Niu.

“Master, please let me return to your body. I won’t attack you again.”

“Absolutely not.”

Qin Niu flatly refused.

“Inside here, I can’t absorb life force and the vitality of living beings. I will die very soon.”

Now that it was subdued by Qin Niu, it was completely at a disadvantage.

“Stop trying to deceive me here. Don’t think I don’t know the art of raising Gu. Gu can be kept in Gu cups, and fed blood regularly.”

In these past days, to counter this Black Spider Gu, Qin Niu had spared no effort in learning the knowledge of raising and cultivating Gu.

“I… am an incomplete Gu, and I must parasitize a living person’s body,” it emphasized again.

Elder Mei had also mentioned the Black Spider Gu’s flaw in his Compendium of Insect Control.

It was just an incomplete Gu due to Elder Mei’s incomplete Gu breeding techniques, not a normal Gu.

But he hadn’t realized the extent of its flaw.

It had to parasitize a living person’s body.

“Come on! I will find a way to make you a normal Gu as soon as possible. And while inside my body, you better behave. Dare to cause trouble, and I will eradicate you on the spot.”

Now, if Qin Niu wanted to kill it, it was just a matter of a thought.

The master has absolute power over life and death for a pet that has signed a master-servant contract.
