Chapter 360 Ferocious Beast - Calamity
Chapter 360 Ferocious Beast - Calamity
A Gu worm appeared in Lan Huasheng's palm. It looked extremely fragile, as if it would break at the slightest touch. It was none other than the Demon Roulette Gu.
Dugu Jianling: "The Demon Roulette? This was used by the Primordial God to punish the most wicked people, how could it appear again..."
"Demon Roulette Gu?"
Yun Muhan kept recalling: In the ancient times, the holder of the Demon Roulette Gu, Peanut?
……
Long Muhan was immersed in the sea of books, his eyes focused and deep, his fingers gently turning the pages, as if every word contained endless wisdom.
A tranquil atmosphere permeated the room, broken only occasionally by the soft sound of turning pages.
Suddenly, a figure darted into the room, shattering the tranquility.
When Long Muhan saw the newcomer, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He put down the book he was holding and turned his gaze to the uninvited guest.
"Moyan, don't be so hasty. What is it?" Long Muhan's voice was calm and doting, as he was already used to it. His demeanor was composed, and even though he was suddenly disturbed, he did not show any displeasure.
Mo Yan stood before Long Muhan, her breathing slightly rapid, clearly having rushed over. Her eyes held a hint of anxiety, as if she had something important to tell Long Muhan immediately.
Her clothes fluttered slightly in the wind, showing how hurried her movements had been. "Oh dear! Brother~ guess what your sister discovered today?"
"What did you find? Another small, surviving fish in the pond? Or are you planning to swindle Mo Lan again?"
Mo Yan grabbed Long Muhan's arm: "Brother, come with me quickly."
"You're so old, why are you still so clumsy? I can walk by myself."
"No!" Mo Yan paused, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Is Brother interested in Gu Dao?"
"The Way of Gu? Refining Gu is too troublesome."
"Good brother, help your sister refine one!" Mo Yan led Long Mu Han to a secret room, which was neither large nor small.
The seat was covered with a thick stack of bamboo slips, and the only one that was open read: "Demon Roulette Gu, Demon Soul, Roulette Technique, Life and death are only a moment apart."
"If its master wins, the Demon Roulette can forcibly alter the loser's memories, or even change their cognition. If its master loses, the Demon Roulette will immediately shatter and reassemble in the hands of another, and the original master will suffer a backlash."
"The backlash has four tribulations. The first tribulation devours the soul and destroys the spirit, causing one to perish and not enter the cycle of reincarnation. The second tribulation devours the life and dies instantly, and those who have come into contact with it will never have peace, and their families will all be plagued by serious illnesses."
"The most severe of the three tribulations is exile to the Demon Purgatory, where one becomes nourishment for the Demon Purgatory, gradually turning into its magma and suffering eternal torment of burning heart."
"As for its fourth tribulation, it is only rumored, and no one has ever been able to trigger it. It is said that the fourth tribulation is worse than death, and it is also another way to achieve 'immortality'."
……
When Yun Muhan regained consciousness, he saw the Demon Roulette Gu mocking Lan Huasheng.
The Demon Roulette Gu said, "Lan Huasheng, you're nothing but a piece of trash. How dare you use me?"
"Rumor has it that the Demon Roulette Gu never submits to anyone, and seeing it today, it is indeed true."
Dugu Jianling: "It's because this Peanut Girl's aura is too low. The Demon Roulette Gu contains a ferocious beast called 'Jiexiu,' which symbolizes the power of immortality and indestructibility."
"There's nothing I wouldn't dare to do, and no one can stop me!" Lan Huasheng quickly activated the Gu worm in his hand, and Yun Muhan pulled him into his arms.
"Wait, Peanut Girl, things haven't gotten to that point yet."
"You...you let me go first."
Yun Muhan quickly released Lan Huasheng, "I didn't mean to, the situation was urgent."
Yun Muhan: Holy crap, has this peanut girl never even met the male lead before?! Her brain has already shut down?
"Oh, Peanut Girl! How about this, I can give you the Shackle Gu and the Mud Gu, but in exchange, I want this Demon Roulette Gu. What do you say?"
Dugu Jianling: "That won't do! This ferocious beast is not so easy to deal with; it is immortal and indestructible."
"..."
As if he had just gone through a fierce battle, Lan Huasheng quickly adjusted his state.
A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes as she stared intently at Yun Muhan, seemingly deep in thought. Her expression shifted from tense to calm, clearly indicating she was quickly analyzing the current situation and Yun Muhan's intentions.
After a moment, she made a decision.
Lan Huasheng's actions were swift and decisive. Without saying a word, she directly handed the Gu worm in her hand to Yun Muhan.
Her fingers gently pinched the container of the Gu worm, carefully avoiding direct contact with the worm itself, showing her respect and caution towards it. Her movements, though simple, conveyed an unspoken decisiveness.
Seeing this, Yun Muhan quickly responded. He took out the Shackle Gu and the Mud Gu from his pocket. These two Gu worms were carefully placed in a special container to prevent their power from leaking out.
His fingers moved steadily and precisely, gently unscrewing the lid of the container before handing the Gu worm to Lan Huasheng. His actions revealed a deep understanding and respect for the Gu worm, and every detail showed how much he valued this exchange.
As the two exchanged the Gu worms, the atmosphere around them seemed to freeze.
After Lan Huasheng received the Shackle Gu and the Mud Gu, she gently stroked the surface of the container with her fingers, feeling the power of the Gu worms inside.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, clearly pleased with the outcome of the exchange.
Yun Muhan also examined the Gu worms that Lan Huasheng had given him, but his expression was serious, and his eyes revealed a hint of excitement.
Dugu Jianling: "What a huge loss! What a huge loss! This Demon Roulette Gu is unusable!"
The Demon Roulette Gu: "Little coward, big smarts, a match made in heaven."
Dugu Jianling: "How dare you! What is your status and what is my identity? You dare to bark like a dog in front of me?"
As Lan Huasheng departed, the Death Purgatory vanished in an instant.
Little white snake: "Hiss, hiss hiss hiss, hiss hiss, hiss hiss hiss, hiss hiss hiss hiss."
