Although it sounded too unbelievable, Qin Fang indeed received such a hint from Little Dragon, and he could even feel the goodwill the Heart Gu was transmitting to him.

Qin Fang slightly extended his hand, and the plump Heart Gu fluttered its wings and settled stably in the palm of his hand.

There was not a hint of malice, and to express its goodwill, it even rubbed Qin Fang's palm gently with its plump head, its pair of eyes emitting considerable affection.

It was indeed not a fantastical dream, but a reality. Little Dragon swallowed the Heart Gu, seemingly erasing Mulun's lingering resentment and control power, turning the Heart Gu into a kind of avatar of Little Dragon.

Little Dragon lay dormant inside Qin Fang's body; in this era starved of Spiritual Energy, it couldn't last long outside, and it needed to rest well within Qin Fang's body after every major commotion before it could fully recover to its original state...

After its last transformation into a giant dragon, which allowed Qin Fang to indulge in the thrill of being a Knight, it had not appeared for a long time, until it was awakened from its slumber when Qin Fang's body was invaded by the deadly poison... helping Qin Fang through this significant crisis.

Of course, it was precisely because Qin Fang understood its existence and strength that he procrastinated for so long with Mulun; otherwise, he would have simply drawn his gun, and Mulun, with his body full of Gu Insects, wouldn't be able to withstand Qin Fang's bullets...

However, this Heart Gu was different; it was akin to an avatar of Little Dragon. Usually, Little Dragon would be asleep, but the Heart Gu could move freely.

Don't think this Heart Gu looked unimpressive, but its terror was even greater than that of the Four-winged Golden Gu... The Heart Gu, nurtured by the Black Witch Doctor with his own heart's blood, was not only extremely poisonous but also had a set of fierce little white teeth.

"Perhaps this little fellow can follow Feifei and the others in the future, serving as a close bodyguard... Plus, it's so adorable!"

The Heart Gu looked harmless but was quite formidable. Qin Fang immediately thought of its future uses and silently decided that since Little Dragon was his pet, the Heart Gu would have no impact on Little Dragon itself, naturally having no objections.

Girls all like extremely cute little animals, and aside from its true identity, this Heart Gu was an adorably explosive little fuzzy worm, with a chubby and tender body, and a pair of eyes that seemed to speak.

Tang Feifei and the others would surely love it...

"Since the Heart Gu can be used by me, there's no rush to head back!"

With the Heart Gu becoming an avatar of Little Dragon, it naturally became Qin Fang's own as well, and he could easily command it, as this little fellow could understand human speech.

Recalling the memories he delved into from the depths of Mulun's mind, he naturally learned of Mulun's hiding place in the mountains, and Qin Fang decided to make a trip there.

It wasn't that Mulun had left behind any treasures; Mulun was penniless, without any good things. However, he left behind a lot of poisonous substances...

These poisons were used to cultivate Gu Insects. While Mulun was alive, he could control these poisonous substances, but now that Mulun was dead, these poisons had lost their restraints and could escape at any moment.

In these mountains, even if the poisons did escape, it wouldn't be a big deal, but its location was very close to human settlements. If they invaded a settlement, they could easily kill all the people there.

"For the sake of Justice Points, let's take a trip..."

Although this matter had little to do with Qin Fang, and even if the creatures really escaped, they wouldn't affect him, if Qin Fang could prevent such a tragedy, he could still gain a considerable amount of Justice Points.

Thus, without hesitation, Qin Fang headed towards Mulun's hideout, a rather secluded valley on the other side of the mountain, quite close to human living areas.

This was a natural cave located deep in the valley. Although it was just over a mountain from human settlements, it seemed that few people came here...

The reason was that there were quite a few poisonous insects here. Although the mountain people were accustomed to the existence of these insects, too many of them could be fatal, so they generally tried to avoid such areas.

Upon entering the small valley, Qin Fang could smell a strange stench and the thick scent of decay, which was rather off-putting.

The valley was deep and shrouded in a misty miasma that contained certain toxins. Ordinary people who ventured in would soon feel breathless, and if they stayed longer, there was a high likelihood of them being poisoned unconscious... and then quickly succumbing to death.

Had Qin Fang not known that this valley was Mulun's hiding place, he wouldn't have dared to come here, let alone enter. It was a place even too risky to approach.

He took out a Detoxification Pill and put it in his mouth, while the Heart Gu leisurely circled around him. When it grew tired, it would rest on Qin Fang's shoulder, looking quite endearing and adorable.

True to being cultivated in a land of lethal poison, this Heart Gu was incredibly toxic, with a formidable resistance to the miasma and rotting poison. Such miasma barely posed a difficulty for it to approach.

Qin Fang took slow steps into the valley. The ground was covered in a kind of gray-black moss that looked extremely eerie. With every step, there was a series of crackling sounds, though it was unclear whether it was due to snapping twigs or the demise of some tiny creatures.

However, Qin Fang soon saw numerous black-shelled insects scuttling out from the moss in a panic, quickly scattering in all directions.

Those insects were once ordinary, but had now become venomous. They were only average in terms of toxicity, living off the miasma and decay of the valley, with neither strong aggression nor potent venom. They posed no real threat to Qin Fang.

Qin Fang was not afraid of these venomous insects. With a Detoxification Pill in his mouth, the toxic miasma couldn't hurt him at all – at least, he didn't notice any significant decrease in his Life Points.

The valley was serene. Qin Fang walked towards the depths, experiencing a calm journey without the appearance of any large venomous insects or beasts from the corners of the valley.

This was Mulun's territory; Mulun himself had almost completely turned into a being of poison, immune to these toxins. Moreover, to cultivate his Gu Insects, he had taken most of the poisonous insects and beasts of any significance into his storage, leaving nothing too threatening outside.

The journey was tranquil, as Qin Fang faced no dangers and smoothly arrived at Mulun's lair...

It was a dark cavern, and according to Mulun's memories, his nest should be roughly ten meters into the depth of this cavern.

Despite the passage being very dark, Qin Fang didn't hesitate at all and rushed straight into the nest.

This was just a common cave, with none of the wonders such as Luminous Pearls embellishing the space, as often mentioned regarding Treasure Lands; it even lacked a trace of light...

Fortunately, deeper into the nest, the condition improved. It connected with the outside, allowing some light to penetrate, making the inside of the nest somewhat visible.

The furnishings within were extremely simple – just a rough stone slab with a few thin, tattered clothes scattered on it, and no other furniture items.

Clearly, Mulun had not the slightest interest in such amenities, for he had devoted all his time to cultivating Gu Insects. At the other end of this cave was Qin Fang's true objective—

It was a training ground for poisonous insects, modeled after an animal pen, surrounded by smooth stone walls in a circle, with a variety of venomous insects scattered within...

These venomous insects, through biting and devouring, would eventually produce the strongest among them to become a Gu Insect...

Before encountering Qin Fang, Mulun had planned to use the Gu Insect from this batch of venomous insects as raw material for advancing his Four-winged Golden Gu.

To achieve this level, Mulun had painstakingly gathered this batch, his last – all of which were extremely toxic and ferociously vicious insects. The resulting Gu Insect would be terrifying; though it might not be on par with the Four-winged Golden Gu, it wouldn't be too far off either.

It was precisely because these venomous insects were so powerful that Qin Fang decided to eliminate them. The Heart Gu had quite an appetite – currently in its growth phase, it needed to ingest more venomous insects to develop swiftly... And these insects were clearly the best food for it.

The Heart Gu is also a type of Gu Insect, albeit a special one, that only requires nurturing with heart's blood and ordinarily doesn't need to consume such toxins. But since Mulun was dead and it had changed masters.

Entering the insect chamber, the light within dimmed significantly. After all, venomous insects thrive in dark corners. Direct sunlight would surely inhibit their proper growth; hence, the dim lighting made sense...

Just as Qin Fang stepped into the insect chamber, suddenly—

Hiss~~

At that moment, Qin Fang felt a chill at his ribs, as a cold intent of murder almost instantly assailed him. The attack was lightning-fast and displayed terrifying strength; it was a killer move aimed at his life...

With the faint glow, Qin Fang saw a flash of silver lightning streak towards him, its speed was incredibly fast, and the angle was extremely tricky – clearly a move of a master...(To be continued.
