LWGP - Chapter 190

Chapter 190: Gun Gun

Bai Bai was delighted. It poked him twice with a branch and reported to Wang Jiu, "Master, he's a goner."

"Are you going to detoxify him?"

Wang Jiu: "I don't have any medicine."

"Then suck out the poison! Don't they show it on human TV? When someone gets poisoned, they drop their pants and suck the pipi, hehehe…"

Bai Bai revealed a truly lewd grin, but as it laughed, it fell silent, its face filled with terror.

Five minutes later, Bai Bai sat under a bamboo stalk, leaning against its joint, a look of utter despair on its face. All it needed was a cigarette.

Wang Shu, whose poisoned blood had been drained by Bai Bai, slowly came to. He heard Wang Jiu say, "If I were you, I'd obediently get myself cleaned up and prepare to open the box for me."

Wang Shu felt wronged. "I want to, Master, but why didn't you warn me it was poisonous? Unlike the previous butterflies that scattered visible powder, their powder was so fine you couldn't see it."

Wang Jiu was toying with a jelly-like orb. Hearing his words, she said lightly, "I forgot."

Wang Shu and Bai Bai: "…"

To be so heartless herself yet not allow others to lack self-awareness—such a scumbag was unparalleled in this world.

Wang Shu was inwardly depressed, but based on his knowledge of the butterfly poison's symptoms, he could only go to the auction house and spend a high price on a few detoxification pills.

A problem that could be solved with money wasn't a problem.

"This is killing me. These pills taste awful. But Master, what's that jelly in your hand? Is it an item dropped by that big butterfly?" Wang Shu was still digesting the pills to neutralize the remaining poison, muttering and grumbling, when he was suddenly shocked.

Because of what he saw.

With a splash, Wang Jiu, who was holding the jelly orb in thought, lowered her head. She looked at a shadow that had just shot out of the water and latched onto her calf.

If it had stayed hidden in the water, she might not have noticed it. But now that it was out and had gotten close, Wang Jiu's first instinct was to draw her weapon and attack. Yet, for some reason… in that instant, she felt a bit weak, unable to muster any killing intent. However, this strange state suddenly vanished.

Because this black-and-white thing, whatever it was, had just retched right onto her boot.

It spat out a large mouthful of wet, sticky stuff.

Wang Shu watched as his inner Demon King of a master, her face expressionless, instantly drew her blade…

Wang Shu had already seen what the creature was. In his shock, he couldn't help but shout, "Master, show mercy! That's a Gun Gun!"

But Wang Jiu's blade had already slashed out.

Clang!!

The strike was caught. The black-and-white, chubby, rolling creature, half-kneeling on the ground, had performed a perfect barehanded blade catch.

Majestic and overflowing with a domineering aura.

Wang Shu: "???"

Bai Bai: "…"

It was Wang Jiu, controlling the blade with one hand, who narrowed her eyes. Her other hand shot down and grabbed the Gun Gun's thick, soft neck… no, it didn't have a neck.

Gun Guns have no necks!

It was just a lump of flesh!

Wang Jiu grabbed a layer of flesh, tossed it into a cage, and shut the door.

It seemed to sense danger. After a couple of whimpers, its body melted into a soft, fleshy mass and literally flowed out through the gaps in the cage, then instantly vanished into thin air.

Wang Jiu only heard the rustling of bamboo leaves as the wind came and went, as if it had left nothing behind.

No, it had left something on her boot.

Wang Shu had already scrambled to his feet. Compared to his near-death state just moments ago, he was now exceptionally excited. "Oh my god, it's a Gun Gun! A Gun Gun! So cute! Master, I think I'm going to faint!"

"What Gun Gun? Just a coward! It runs so fast!"

Bai Bai huffed, hands on its hips, then glared at Wang Jiu. "You were holding back, weren't you? That strike just now wasn't even half of your full attack power. Why are you so mean to me!"

Wang Jiu glanced at Bai Bai, whose eyes were red and seemed on the verge of tears, and said coolly, "What comes to you freely isn't valuable, don't you know?"

What an infuriating, scum-woman statement.

But Bai Bai was afraid of her. It meekly hid behind Wang Shu, stubbornly muttering, "You're just playing favorites."

Wang Shu also muttered, "Then why are you still following her?"

Favorites, my ass. Just think, who else under her command gets to eat the corpses of several of her BOSS kills without paying?

Master always dealt with others through transactions.

It wasn't that the little fox didn't understand; it was just being dramatic, needing to act up.

"None of your business! Go feel up your box!" Bai Bai made a face, and Wang Shu walked over to Wang Jiu's side.

Wang Jiu had already taken off her soiled boot. A Spirit Tentacle controlled it, rinsing it in the water. She herself sat by the lake, dangling her legs in the water, and handed the jelly orb and a purple-gold box to Wang Shu.

Only when Wang Shu took the jelly orb did he realize it wasn't actual "jelly," but an egg.

"An Obsidian Tri-Eye Butterfly larva? Holy crap, Master, you really got this amazing thing? But why is there only one? I heard butterflies can lay dozens of eggs."

Wang Jiu retorted, "Dozens of Purple Gold larvae?"

She looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Ah, right. Reproduction was also a form of life energy distribution. The energy within a single adult Obsidian Tri-Eye Butterfly couldn't possibly sustain the gestation of dozens of Purple Gold larvae of the same tier. They would most likely be Gold-grade.

One Purple Gold larva was equivalent to one Purple Gold BOSS. Wang Shu subconsciously glanced at Bai Bai, who had jumped into the water to play.

Although the little fox was cunning, treacherous, and had a bad temper, it was genuinely strong. It was already solidly a Purple Gold BOSS, just not on the same level as the Little Corpse King and other powerhouses. But it should be on par with the Obsidian Tri-Eye Butterfly, which was why it could sense the other's reproductive state and was certain it had been taken down by Wang Jiu.

"But Master, it doesn't need to be unlocked. Why are you giving it to me?"

"I have a flying device, I don't need it. Selling it to you, 300,000 gold."

Wang Shu was shocked, but also troubled. "Master, I don't have that much money right now. I spent the hundred-thousand-plus I earned before. Right now…"

"I'll give you ten days. Gather 300,000, or get the following resources to trade with me."

Wang Jiu listed some of the materials that could be used to save the Old Lady, including things like the TK-18 Boundary Breaking Scroll. Even though she already had one, she needed one to go and one to come back. She was even afraid she might go to the wrong place, in which case she would need more resources.

She needed to add more chips to her side, to constantly increase the probability of success.

Among the people she was currently in contact with, Wei Yuan and the distant woman were from a different spacetime, bringing too much uncertainty. A Purple Gold larva probably wouldn't be a huge draw for them. As for those in the current spacetime, many were untrustworthy. Among the trustworthy ones… this damn fatty had the best luck.

He could open a small box and get the results of a medium box, a medium box with the results of a large one. The blessing of an RNG God was the true path to victory.

Wang Jiu's objective was clear, and Wang Shu understood. "So, Master, you're giving it to me now so I can get more resources? But Master, I'm afraid I can't do it. The resources you want are so high-level. If I can't get them, I'll just return the butterfly to you, okay?"

Wang Shu's act was so contrived and insincere that even Bai Bai shivered in fear.

Wang Jiu ignored all his useless chatter and said coolly, "No. It needs to be incubated to hatch. Your butt is big, it's suitable."

Bai Bai: "Hahaha!"

Wang Shu, who had been on the verge of tears of gratitude: "…"

Fuck!

A grief-stricken Wang Shu ripped open the dark gold box. The result left both Wang Jiu and Bai Bai stunned.

This was?

A bamboo shoot?

Wang Jiu held the yellow-and-white-husked bamboo shoot, looked at the trembling Wang Shu, and asked faintly, "How outrageous?"

Wang Shu nearly fell to his knees.

A dark gold box was a much higher grade than a large box; it was a Purple Gold-tier item box. It should basically yield a Purple Gold-tier treasure.

And he got a bamboo shoot?

Was he about to die?

Fortunately, Wang Jiu took a serious look at its attributes. This thing actually seemed to be quite high-grade.

A Spirit Bamboo Shoot (From the Butterfly Valley spirit vein, can guide the way to spirit veins in the Sichuan region).

Attributes: Can be consumed directly to permanently increase Stamina by 2000 points. However, its greatest effect is on the top-tier bloodline race, the Panda Gun Gun. It can increase their probability of evolution and will greatly increase their favorability toward you.

Wang Jiu suddenly smiled.

No wonder that black-and-white fatty had deliberately approached. It was probably trying to snatch this.

Very cunning.

Wang Jiu's gaze swept her surroundings thoughtfully.

She felt a little wary.

A mere Gold BOSS-level Gun Gun actually possessed a stealth and a special bewitching ability that even she couldn't detect. It could naturally bypass the locking effect of a cage item. And at that moment, her killing intent had been difficult to muster, strangely diminished.

Its barehanded blade catch skill was also very strong.

If it were Purple Gold-tier, it could probably catch even her full-powered strike.

She might not be able to win.

"Is its bloodline that strong?"

System: "Do you know what the true meaning of a bloodline is? It's fate."

Wang Jiu: "…"

For the first time, she was rendered speechless by the Dog System's retort.

However, if there was one Gold-tier Gun Gun here, there were bound to be others. What if there was a Purple Gold one, or even an entire clan?

"Leave the bamboo forest. Let's go."

The naturally cautious Wang Jiu turned and left. Wang Shu and Bai Bai hurriedly followed.

After they left, the round, black-and-white ball peeked out from behind a bamboo stalk, its eyes darting around.

After leaving the bamboo forest, Wang Jiu activated the bamboo shoot to search for the spirit vein's location. Her flying device consumed too much energy, and the ore she had obtained before was completely used up. She had to find new ore to replenish it.

Along the way, however, Wang Jiu also carefully observed the environment of Butterfly Valley, trying to determine if a Gun Gun clan existed in this valley.

About half an hour later, she, along with Wang Shu and Bai Bai who were picking flowers and herbs along the way, stopped at a dead end.

The light source was getting stronger, but they hadn't found it here?

Wang Jiu activated her Demon's Eye. With a sweep of her gaze, she used her blade to part a cave entrance that was almost completely concealed by vines and trees. The cave was narrow and descended downwards. The air grew moist, and they could hear the sound of water.

They descended for about seven or eight hundred meters.

"Master, the light from the bamboo shoot seems to get stronger the closer we get to the stream."

Wang Shu craned his neck to look toward the underground stream. Suddenly, his foot slipped, and it felt as if his entire body was being coiled by a soft, cold tongue and pulled in. The next moment, he smelled a terrifyingly foul stench.

Holy shit, what a huge water anaconda!
