Chapter 277: Flying Centipede King
The aura emanating from Chen Yongchang was too cold and sinister. The wealthy guests all around felt extremely uncomfortable and backed away, afraid of being tainted by the Poisonous Gu.
Cheng Yuan, however, wasn’t flustered at all. He stared at Chen Yongchang with an indifferent gaze and said coldly, "What makes you think I owe you anything? Get out of the way!"
Chen Yongchang was furious!
As if sensing his rage, a dozen or so venomous creatures suddenly emerged from Chen Yongchang’s body—vipers, centipedes, toads... all sorts of them.
These venomous creatures continuously flicked their tongues at Cheng Yuan. With a single command from Chen Yongchang, they would swarm forward and suck Cheng Yuan dry!
Chen Yongchang said coldly, "Young man, my little darlings don’t have the best tempers!"
Cheng Yuan snorted. "My little darling doesn’t have a good temper either!"
Chen Yongchang laughed in anger. "Brat, you refuse the easy path to heaven and instead insist on breaking into Hell! Since you’re courting death, you have no one to blame but me! Go!!"
With a flick of his wrist, Chen Yongchang sent the dozen or so Gu Insects straight for Cheng Yuan!
The surrounding guests watched with great interest, ready for a good show.
"Village Chief Chen’s Gu Insects are incredibly toxic. Each one could easily poison an elephant to death! With so many attacking him at once, that kid is a dead man!!"
"Is that kid frozen in fear? Why isn’t he moving? Is this the first time he’s ever seen so many Gu Insects?"
...
Amidst the guests’ mocking jeers, with a mere thought from Cheng Yuan, Little Silkworm suddenly appeared and shot straight toward the dozen Gu Insects!
Little Silkworm was too fast!
The dozen Gu Insects couldn’t react at all before Little Silkworm bit their heads off in an instant!
THUD! THUD!
The dozen Gu Insects fell to the ground, deader than dead!
As if it had just done something trivial, Little Silkworm flew back to Cheng Yuan’s side and nuzzled affectionately against his cheek.
’Master, I worked really hard today. You have to give me a drop of Holy Blood when we get back.’
This scene stunned the surrounding guests. They stared at the adorable Little Silkworm with disbelief, unable to comprehend how such a cute little creature could instantly annihilate over a dozen incredibly toxic Gu Insects.
Chen Yongchang was also taken aback!
But soon, Chen Yongchang’s eyes lit up, and he stared greedily at Little Silkworm.
"Brat, if you offer your Lifebound Gu Insect to me, I can spare your life!"
Cheng Yuan snorted. "In your dreams. Don’t you have a big, winged centipede? Hurry up and let it out as a snack for my Little Silkworm! Don’t waste my time."
Chen Yongchang’s gaze darkened. "My Flying Centipede King has only fought once since it achieved Great Success. Are you sure you want it to act personally?"
"Enough with the nonsense. Little Silkworm, kill this old bastard! I’ll reward you with that big, winged centipede as a spicy stick!"
"SQUEAK SQUEAK... (’Yes, Master!’)"
Little Silkworm transformed into a streak of light and shot straight for Chen Yongchang!
Chen Yongchang hesitated no longer. He decisively summoned his Flying Centipede King and bellowed, "Everyone, hold your breath! Or you’ll be afflicted with plagues!"
The guests quickly held their breath, their eyes wide as they stared at the Flying Centipede King in Chen Yongchang’s hand!
The Flying Centipede King was truly worthy of its title as a Poisonous Insect King that Chen Yongchang had painstakingly raised. Its body was half a meter long, and its pair of transparent wings spanned twenty centimeters!
The Flying Centipede King flapped its wings, leaped into the air, and shot toward Little Silkworm, opening its massive maw in mid-flight!
Streams of thick, black gas poured out from the Flying Centipede King’s mouth!
This black gas contained an astonishingly potent poison; within a ten-meter radius, all the green plants began to wither!
Cheng Yuan was startled and communicated telepathically with Little Silkworm, ’Little Silkworm, that huge centipede is so poisonous. Are you going to be okay?’
’Child’s play! This little bit of poison isn’t even enough to tickle me!’
The thought had barely ended when Little Silkworm suddenly accelerated!
WHOOSH!
A flash of white light streaked by. In a blur, Little Silkworm shot straight into the Flying Centipede King’s massive mouth!
With a GULP, the Flying Centipede King swallowed Little Silkworm in one go!
Seeing this, the surrounding guests began to frantically shower Chen Yongchang with flattery!
"The Flying Centipede King is truly worthy of being Village Chief Chen’s Lifebound Gu Insect, and worthy of the title of Poisonous Insect King!"
"That kid is hilarious, pitting a chubby white silkworm against the Flying Centipede King. Isn’t that just serving it a free meal?"
"Brat, your Gu Insect has been swallowed! Aren’t you going to surrender?"
...
Chen Yongchang, smug and triumphant, took a step forward and looked down on Cheng Yuan. "Brat, having lost your Lifebound Gu Insect, you must be severely wounded yourself, right? Kneel and admit your mistake right now. Pledge allegiance to the Shu Miao Race, and perhaps I, the Village Chief, can spare your life."
Cheng Yuan curled his lip in disdain. "Old geezer, someone did indeed lose their Lifebound Gu Insect, but it wasn’t me. It was you!"
Chen Yongchang laughed as if he’d heard a joke. "My Flying Centipede King has already swallowed your Lifebound Gu Insect, and it will be digested soon. You’re still talking tough in a situation like this? You’re simply..."
Halfway through his sentence, Chen Yongchang’s expression changed dramatically. He looked at the Flying Centipede King in terror!
The Flying Centipede King was suddenly writhing in agony in mid-air!
With a THUMP, the Flying Centipede King could no longer stay airborne and fell to the ground, where it thrashed and rolled about relentlessly!
Chen Yongchang and the Flying Centipede King were telepathically linked, and he felt the creature’s pain as his own. He subconsciously clutched his stomach and let out a pained grunt. "Ugh... It hurts so much!~"
It all happened so suddenly. Everyone was dumbfounded, staring in utter bewilderment at the Flying Centipede King and Chen Yongchang, who were both rolling on the ground!
They had no idea what was happening!
Forgetting his dignity as a senior, Chen Yongchang begged relentlessly, "Young man, I admit defeat! I was wrong! Please, spare me this once! Tell your Lifebound Gu Insect to stop eating!!"
Cheng Yuan said coldly, "When your Lifebound Gu Insect swallowed Little Silkworm, did you ever consider sparing it?"
Chen Yongchang fell silent. A moment ago, he had absolutely no intention of sparing Little Silkworm.
As a Nine-Change Divine Silkworm, Little Silkworm naturally wouldn’t be digested by the Flying Centipede King. The stomach acid inside the Flying Centipede King couldn’t harm it in the slightest.
Right now, Little Silkworm was having the time of its life, eating away happily.
In just a short while, it had devoured all of the Flying Centipede King’s internal organs!
It had to be said, the Flying Centipede King was truly worthy of being a Poisonous Insect King. The nutrients and toxins contained within its organs were a great supplement for Little Silkworm!
In just a few dozen seconds, Little Silkworm’s body grew a size larger. It could even faintly sense the threshold of the First Transformation!
Overjoyed, Little Silkworm began to frantically devour the flesh and blood inside the Flying Centipede King’s body!
In less than a minute, the Flying Centipede King’s body deflated!
RIP! RIP!
Little Silkworm tore through the Flying Centipede King’s stomach and, in a flash, appeared before Cheng Yuan, attempting to nuzzle his cheek.
Cheng Yuan bluntly rejected it in disgust. "Little Silkworm, you’re filthy right now, don’t nuzzle me! Go get cleaned up first before you try that!"
