But the little white fatty looked innocent and quite bewildered, eventually looking around left and right, seemingly at a loss for what to do next.

"It seems that's not the case after all..."

When Qin Fang saw this, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. It appeared that what Mulun had heard from others was not actually true.

However, just as Qin Fang relaxed, the eyes of the little white fatty suddenly sharpened. Its big eyes swiftly contracted, and its entire head seemed to undergo a complete transformation. It then sprang from Mulun's face and transformed into a phantom, rushing straight for Qin Fang's neck.

It moved incredibly fast, drawing closer and closer, until Qin Fang could even make out its now horribly fierce face... a ghastly visage that totally contrasted with its previous cuteness.

The Heart Gu had suddenly become violent, its previously docile and cute appearance instantly turning into something extremely ferocious. Those little white teeth seemed to have grown much larger, appearing bone-chillingly white, even more terrifying than the Four-winged Golden Gu.

The Heart Gu's body unfolded a layer of thin wings, looking as if it sprouted wings, and it actually began to fly.

Its speed was quite fast, almost instantly becoming a phantom that rapidly attacked towards Qin Fang's neck...

"There really is a problem!"

Qin Fang's back was now drenched in cold sweat. He had been on guard against this Heart Gu all along and had never let down his vigilance.

But unexpectedly, just as he eased up a little, the Heart Gu immediately seized the opportunity and burst forth violently, launching a fierce attack on him.

The Heart Gu relied on deadly poison, or perhaps something else, Qin Fang was not entirely sure, but he faintly felt that this Gu was likely to be even more difficult to deal with than the extremely poisonous Four-winged Golden Gu.

It is well known that the strength and rank of Gu Insects are very rigid; a powerful Gu was needed to control or deal with other Gu Insects, and even the Heart Gu would not suffice.

Among the generations of Black Witch Doctors, many had succeeded in taming some incredible Gu Insects, but most of these tamers died unexpectedly, usually due to their Gu Insects backfiring and consuming the Heart Gu—naturally leading to the death of their master as well.

Buzz~~

It seemed to sense the threat from this seemingly cute yet very malicious Heart Gu, and the Little Dragon, which had been suppressed inside Qin Fang's body, finally received his command. It immediately transformed into a silver dragon shadow, which burst forth directly from within Qin Fang...

The Little Dragon had grown even larger over these past few days; it looked longer, and the little horns on its head had become even more prominent.

Roar~~

As the Little Dragon emerged, a fierce gust of wind stirred, accompanied by a resonating and deep dragon's roar echoing far into the great mountains.

As if to respond to the Little Dragon's roar, the depths of the mountains immediately resounded with several tiger roars, wolf howls, and leopard cries... as if not willing to be outdone by the Little Dragon.

But this was not the point. As soon as Little Dragon appeared, it directly positioned itself in front of Qin Fang's neck, opening its jaws as if waiting for the Heart Gu to deliver itself into its mouth.

The moment Little Dragon appeared, the little white fatty Heart Gu that had been about to bite Qin Fang's neck also slightly paused. However, it was moving too fast and was too close; the Heart Gu couldn't react in time and was already at the edge of Little Dragon's mouth...

But the cunning Heart Gu evidently did not wish to comply. Just after stabilizing its form, it began fluttering its wings, attempting to fly in another direction.

Upon Little Dragon's appearance, it had already felt an inexplicable threat, as if it had encountered a natural enemy, and almost instinctively wanted to flee and retreat...

Yet, even though the Heart Gu was exceedingly cunning, almost human-like, it could not anticipate that Little Dragon had long coveted it. If it weren't for Qin Fang's interference, it would have already rushed out and eliminated the Heart Gu.

Now that the Heart Gu's plan has been ruined, revealing its true form, Qin Fang naturally no longer needed to restrain Little Dragon, and he immediately released it to deal with the cunning Heart Gu.

Seeing the Heart Gu attempting to flee, Little Dragon remained unruffled. With a mere inhale from its maw, a powerful current of air surged forth, resembling a whirlpool, drawing all the surrounding air straight into Little Dragon's slender body...

Even Qin Fang could distinctly feel the cool breeze in front of his neck. He had seen Little Dragon's transformation before—a truly colossal being it becomes. Now, although it was still small, it was definitely not its true form…

Sensing the abnormal flow of the air around it, Heart Gu became anxious. Its wings flapped even more fiercely and frantically, but still, it could not escape Little Dragon's inhalation and was directly sucked into Little Dragon's mouth, vanishing from sight...

This scene was witnessed by Qin Fang himself. Though the Heart Gu was small, it was quite hefty when enraged, seeming even larger than an ordinary caterpillar.

And Little Dragon was significantly longer than a regular snake. Having watched this battle unfold right before his eyes, how could he possibly not take notice?

But the process was actually quite straightforward. Little Dragon seemed to be the natural predator of the Heart Gu, gaining absolute advantage as soon as it appeared. The Heart Gu no longer wished to confront Qin Fang, desperately wanting to escape, yet ultimately it failed to do so.

"Phew~~ It's finally over! That was truly perilous just now…"

At this point, everything had settled. Mulun was dead, the Heart Gu was eradicated—effectively wiped out—thus Qin Fang's troubles were thoroughly resolved.

Little Dragon, having consumed the Heart Gu, did not return inside Qin Fang's body as it usually did, but half-floated there as if digesting the food it had just swallowed, appearing strangely eerie.

Qin Fang wasn't too concerned; Little Dragon's condition was somewhat normal and showed no anomalies. Although the Heart Gu was unpredictable and eerie, it probably posed no threat to it.

Buzz buzz buzz~~

The Four-winged Golden Gu, as if it had sustained severe damage, remained impaled on Qin Fang's Silver Needle. Yet, it continued to beat its wings tirelessly, struggling fiercely and tumbling around...

Qin Fang was slightly taken aback but did not pay much attention. After all, the Four-winged Golden Gu was now under the Heart Gu's control. And as Little Dragon was digesting the Heart Gu, it was understandable that the interconnected Four-winged Golden Gu was also suffering.

However—

A plump, white shadow suddenly shot out from Little Dragon's mouth, rushing directly towards the still-fluttering Four-winged Golden Gu. In mid-air, it had already opened its wide mouth, baring its white, gleaming teeth, and then swallowed the entire Four-winged Golden Gu in one gulp.

"Heart Gu…"

Qin Fang was slightly stunned, staring in disbelief at the little white chubby figure that had re-emerged—none other than the Heart Gu that Little Dragon had just swallowed.

This was bizarre. Could it be that even Little Dragon couldn't handle this Heart Gu?

As Qin Fang hesitated, he saw Little Dragon's body suddenly turn into a beam of silver light and then directly burrow into Qin Fang's body, disappearing completely.

A warm current flowed through his body, and he could distinctly sense Little Dragon returning to the position near his heart to recuperate—it couldn't stay outside for too long...

At the same time, before officially entering a dormant state, Little Dragon also transmitted a small segment of information into Qin Fang's mind—concerning this particular Heart Gu.

"This—turned into a Little Dragon's Heart Gu?"

After Qin Fang briefly reviewed this piece of information, he was naturally left utterly dumbfounded...(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
