Chapter 174 Smart Tiger Mosquito Killer
At ten o'clock in the evening, the procession arrived at a small town called Piplu. The Toothless Elephant said that it couldn't go any further. It had to walk another eighty kilometers to reach Fengsong. The swamp was full of crocodiles and snakes and bugs that didn't have time to move upstream. In the latter half of the night, people were tired. It would be great if they accidentally fell off the elephant's body.
Not long ago, the town was swept away by the small hurricane eel. The streets were completely devastated, and snakes and rats were running everywhere. Houses were in tatters, roofs were thrown off, and beams were missing everywhere. The group of thirteen walked into the only masonry hotel in the town. This place was already packed with people. When the lady boss saw that Gu Tianyou and his group had a few strong youths carrying firearms, she knew that they were not kind people. Even though she felt a thousand unwillingness in her heart, she hurriedly smiled and welcomed them.
When the Toothless Elephant revealed the Guo's Army 's identity certificate, which was even more intelligent than the local garrison, the boss lady was instantly frightened to the point of losing face. She did not dare to wait for a while, so she had no choice but to forcefully let her family live in a place to receive them.
There were a total of three rooms. Five students were separated and divided into two groups with Liu Feng and the others to occupy one room. The old professor lived in the same room as Gu Tianyou and the Toothless Elephant. Outside the room, the wind and rain were raging wildly, Inside the room, Professor Qin sighed. The old professor, who could tell at a glance whether a rock was Devonian or Ordovician, could bear hardship, However, Gu Tianyou couldn't bear to see his precious students suffer. He kept on talking to Gu Tianyou. The children were still young, so they didn't go through this. Gu Tianyou was tired of listening. He just stood up and decided to go to the front hall for a drink.
As soon as they entered the front hall, they saw a large group of people surrounding a table, shouting with beer in their hands. Out of curiosity, Gu Tianyou leaned over to take a look. It turned out that the two of them were wrestling inside.
The two of them were fat and thin. The fat one was a big man with blonde hair and blue eyes. He looked like a big hairless bear. A big hand held his opponent's small hand like a hammer head on the handle of a hammer. The skinny man's complexion was dark, thin and withered. His eyes and arms were different from the fat man's. Although he was thin and small, his strength was not small. He had been locked in a stalemate with the giant man for a long time and hadn't been defeated. Almost all of the surrounding people were judging people by their appearances, betting on Fatty and cheering him on.
After all, the two of them weren't of the same weight. After a long stalemate, the skinny man gradually showed signs of exhaustion. The surrounding people were even more excited. Just when everyone thought that the skinny one would lose without a doubt, a big flower cat jumped out from the side.
He saw that this object was exceptionally large, with its head, lips, buttocks, and tail remaining outside. Its body was more than a meter long, and its body was sturdy. Its body hair was coarse, yellow-brown, and its back was darker than its side. His entire body was covered in brown and black stripes and spots. His abdomen was white, and his throat formed two collars. He jumped onto the table, and his pair of green and translucent eyes stared fixedly at the fatty, letting out a strange cry. The fat man's hand softened in shock, and he was immediately grabbed by the thin man and pressed down.
The surroundings immediately hissed. The skinny young man smiled complacently and stroked the head of the big flower civet. He said complacently to the fatty, "Fat pig king, you are willing to admit defeat. Tonight, the beer is all yours."
Fatty was furious. He reached out his hand to grab the Flower Civet. Unexpectedly, it was extremely ferocious. The fatty moved slightly, and it was angry first. It quickly stretched out its claws like lightning and fiercely grabbed at Fatty. Kacha! Kacha! Two sounds! It turned out that the skinny black youth was extremely quick to react. He immediately pressed down on Big Flower Civet. This fellow scratched the table twice, leaving several deep scratches on the table!
The skinny young man shouted, "It doesn't matter if you can't afford to lose, Fat Pig King. Why do you want to touch my clever bug? If you're not afraid of blinding a pair of your moves, you can try again."
Gu Tianyou had already guessed that this pet that looked like a civet cat was actually a little bug. The fierce tiger was born into a big bug, and its entire body was filled with treasures. Cats and insects are cats, but cats and insects are called smart tigers. This creature didn't speak a cat's tongue, and its behavior was like a tiger's. Its claws were webbed, and it could climb mountains and enter water. It liked to kill wolves, but it didn't eat food for leopards. It didn't eat live fish unless it was a snake. It ate several jin of fish at a time. After it was full, it wouldn't eat for ten days or even a month. It could be said to be an insect among insects, extremely rare.
The fatty gasped for breath and angrily said, "I was clearly going to win just now. If it wasn't for you, this bastard, causing trouble, you wouldn't have had a chance to win against me at all."
The skinny youth sneered, "Cut the crap. If you lose, you lose. What excuse do you have?"
Fatty reluctantly took out a pile of money from his pocket and slammed it on the table. "Who says I can't afford to lose! The Kazakh man says one is one! Unlike you Han people, this matter is not over yet. When the boss comes, let her judge for us," he said angrily.
Gu Tianyou was probably the only one who could understand the conversation between the two of them in Chinese. Speaking of the boss, the black-skinned youth's expression changed slightly. He looked around and pulled the fatty to a secluded corner. Only then did the skinny youth say, "Such a big storm has passed from Nabi. Even a flat road will take three days to run. Don't dream about it."
Ever since Gu Tianyou practiced the Immovable King Ming, his ears, ears, and eyes had improved extraordinarily. Especially after he had absorbed the spirit insect's blood last time, the temperature of the Immovable King Ming's body had increased by leaps and bounds to a point that even he found inconceivable. There was no need to go over. In this noisy environment, one only needed to pay attention and still be able to hear clearly. The two of them were different. The black-skinned youth led a top-grade smart bug that could only be controlled by a seventh-grade insect master of the Northern Sect Gu Sect. The Kazakh fatty looked stupid, but he was a Shaman Adept. He looked fat, but his strength was not as strong as the black-skinned youth's. He had used the Old Bull's Upper Body Technique of Magic to obtain a small chance of victory.
The spell on the old cow's upper body was worthless. It was a medicine made from hidden ox lacquer, Smilax glabra, Dendrobium officinale and toad venom. After secretly consuming it, it could last for about half an hour. It was as strong as a cow's excited and aggressive state.
The skinny youth was an expert of the Northern Sect Gu Sect, but the fatty was a figure of the Divine Tune Sect. There must be a reason for the two of them to appear here. Gu Tianyou thought that Wu Denghei was also from the Gu Sect, so he naturally had to listen carefully.
Fatty said, "You're talking about an ordinary person. Since Boss has made an appointment to meet us here tonight, I believe that she will definitely be able to rush over."
'"Isn't it just a scum from the door? I'll handle it myself. What does it mean that she has to come here personally? How many good things have happened to the old man who stayed at the door since she became the boss? You see, nothing good has happened." The skinny young man said disdainfully.
Gu Tianyou's heart skipped a beat. Was the traitor he was talking about referring to Oroha? They were still waiting to hear it, but the two of them suddenly remained silent. After waiting for a while, he had already changed the topic, and the content was worthless.
Strong winds howled and torrential rain poured down.
The tightly shut door was suddenly pushed open. A tall, square-faced man wearing traditional riding boots stepped into the house. He swept around and walked to the fat and skinny table. He pulled up a chair and sat down. "Boss, there's something else you can't do tonight. You two should rest early and set off early tomorrow," he said.
The two of them wanted to stand up and greet each other, but this person waved his hand and pressed down on them.
The skinny black youth said, "Boss thinks too highly of that traitor. He even transferred Big Brother Ba here. He can't afford to be a Gu Sect Eighth Stage cultivator. Is there a need for such a large formation?"
Fatty also felt that he was making a big fuss. He looked at the square-faced man respectfully and said, "Big Brother Ba personally took action. What kind of bugs and snakes are there to die of?"
The square-faced man said with a trace of dissatisfaction, "Our boss was in a hurry to do something when he was young and powerful. The other party's strength is not ordinary, but she sent you and my brothers over. Most likely, she still wants to show us old people."
"What's there to see? If she wasn't personally taught by the Dragon Leader, I, the Ghost Monkey, wouldn't have recognized her as the first one to take over the position of boss," the skinny black youth said discontentedly.
The square-faced man's expression sank. He looked around and reminded, "Be careful!"
The Fat Pig King asked, "Big Brother Ba, are you here alone to discuss something?"
The square-faced man said, "Go back and speak slowly."
The three of them drank all the wine in their glasses and got up at the same time to rest at the back. Gu Tianyou could no longer hear the liveliness, nor could he rashly go over to inquire, so he returned to his room. The toothless elephant and the old professor hadn't fallen asleep yet. It wasn't because they weren't sleepy, but because the mosquito nets weren't enough. The two of them couldn't resist being bitten by mosquitoes, and it was difficult for them to fall asleep again and again.
When Gu Tianyou arrived, he knew that the insects here were powerful, so he made some preparations, which could be used at this moment. He took out a small box from his bosom, took out an incense stick of ink, and drew circles on the wall with it. Not long after, all the mosquitoes in the room gathered in the circles, all of them dormant and motionless.
Old Professor Qin was dumbfounded. The Toothless Elephant almost worshipped Gu Tianyou as a deity.
This little trick was a more practical method used by people who traveled in Jianghu in the past. It was called the mosquito bite-free technique. Catch a toad, put the incense ink into his mouth and wrap it in cloth. Bury it in the mud for seven days and take it out. Don't use the toad. Just draw a picture on the wall with the incense ink and all the mosquitoes will enter the circle.
Everything was born, and everything descended, but this toad was capable of subduing a hundred insects. Its saliva had the power to intimidate the swarm of insects. After being absorbed by the fragrant ink block, its effectiveness could increase without decreasing.
The mosquito problem was solved, but Professor Qin couldn't sleep for a moment, so he wanted to talk to Gu Tianyou. Gu Tianyou couldn't bear to refute his face. He first made an agreement and said, "If you plead for mercy for those young masters, you don't have to be so respectful. I can't arrange for someone to send them back when they're all here."
Professor Qin sighed and said, "If you don't ask, then don't ask." He smiled bitterly and said, "I thought it would be a lively and interesting exploration trip. I didn't expect to encounter this kind of ghost weather. I didn't expect that the natural environment here would still maintain such a primitive appearance in this era."
Gu Tianyou said, "You shouldn't care about this kind of hardship at your age, right?"
Professor Qin said, "There's definitely no problem with my mental endurance. However, I'm afraid my body is not enough." As he spoke, he seemed to be hesitating to say anything.
Gu Tianyou said, "If you have anything, just say it directly."
Professor Qin said, "I saw a few people with them. I heard that this place is not peaceful. Do you think we will be in danger of having to touch them? I mean, those children were given to me by their parents. What really happened? I have no face to go back and explain it to their parents."
Gu Tianyou said, "I came out this time to see how valuable a vein is, I don't know how to date a rock, "There are precious metals in there, but you know, this is your job and responsibility. What I know is to play with guns. Protecting you is my responsibility. I don't dare to guarantee that nothing will happen to them, but I can swear to you that as long as I'm three inches away, it won't be your turn to have an accident with your students."
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a soft snort coming from outside the window!
