"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" an old man exclaimed, "Mr. Shen, don't underestimate the Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu. For thousands of years, many have tried countless times to kill them with poison, but every time they've failed."

"Yes, Mr. Shen, you mustn't be careless. Every time the Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu appears, it devours a Gu Master and then disappears. Even if others are around, they won't disturb them. But if you poison them and anger them, whether it's the one who poisoned or those around, they will be devoured!"

"So, Mr. Shen, do not act rashly. Even if you have a Divine Gu with you, it's impossible to escape alive. Poisoning the Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu is nothing short of digging your own grave!"

Listening to the chattering crowd around him, Shen Qiang said, "Fine, I won't poison them, but do you have a good solution?"

Suddenly, all the Gu Masters fell silent.

Quietly observing them, after a moment of silence, Shen Qiang chuckled, "So, you're planning to watch this girl get bitten to death by these insects and then handle her remains, just to feel at ease?"

At these words, the old man sighed deeply.

"Mr. Shen, I know it sounds shameless and base, but what else can we do? After all, the Golden-eyed Jade Flower is untreatable!"

The old lady beside them also sighed, "Yes, if it weren't for the Golden-eyed Jade Flower, targeting whoever it wishes, I would rather they devour me."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, "If you're talking about sacrificing yourself to save others, spare me. Although I'm someone who prefers others die before himself, I believe in your virtue, and, besides, I'm a doctor."

"This Miss Liu used her autumn cicada to call for my help on this snowy night, and since I've come here, I won't feel right leaving without doing anything. So, there's no need to say more; I will try to kill these insects. If you're afraid, you can leave."

"Mr. Shen, you can't be so reckless!" a young man said, "You're playing with fire, risking both your life and the Divine Gu."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Just let me know if you're leaving because I'm about to get started."

The young man stared in shock at Shen Qiang, seeing the seriousness in Shen Qiang's eyes, and grew anxious, "You're a madman!"

With that, he turned to leave, saying, "If you want to die, go ahead, but don't drag me down. I'm leaving. Whoever dares to provoke the Golden-eyed Jade Flower can stay!"

Hearing this, seeing Shen Qiang's genuine expression, several old men exchanged glances and immediately left.

"Take care, Mr. Shen!"

Watching them leave without another word, the old lady who previously volunteered to take Liu Siya's place also hurriedly departed as if afraid Shen Qiang would act and implicate her.

It wasn't just that.

What surprised Shen Qiang even more was that old man, Liu Siya's master.

Shen Qiang thought that even if everyone left, the old man would stay.

But now, watching him leave with the others, Shen Qiang frowned and said, "Hey, aren't you her master? Isn't the bond between master and disciple like that of a father and son? Your disciple is in a critical moment, and you're leaving?"

The old man sighed, "Those devoured by the insects have no hope. You, with the Divine Gu, might have a slim chance, but we don't. If you provoke these Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu, they'll attack madly, and I'll surely die. Who will tend to my beloved disciple's remains then?"

Shen Qiang's face turned cold, and he laughed contemptuously, "Truly loyal and responsible, get out. Besides, even if she doesn't speak, I call the shots. If she dies, there's no need for you to tend to her body. Just burn the shell, or leave it exposed to the wilderness. What's the difference?"

The old man shuddered at the words, but after a sigh, he too left the room with the others.

It was now quiet in the room.

The Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon, voluptuous and alluring, chuckled, "Reality is cruel to this girl, isn't it? In a life-and-death moment, the ones who stayed by her side are strangers like us."

Sitting nearby, Ye Guyun, cute and lively, chimed in, "What's there to fear? If these insects are really dangerous, I'll fly us away, high above everything."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Good idea, but don't underestimate them. I just tested it, and True Yuan is ineffective against these bugs, so be careful yourselves."

"Yes, be careful," cautioned Kang Luoying.

At almost the same moment, turning to look at the room, Shen Qiang was surprised to see Liu Siya, with a delicate face, lying on the bed, not only opened her eyes but tears silently streamed down.

Shen Qiang smiled, "Don't be afraid. Since you sought me out, you should be confident. The worst that can happen is death, but trying won't hurt anything. If you've decided and agree for me to poison these little critters, blink once. If not, blink twice."

"I agree," Liu Siya, lying on the bed, said in a steady tone, "because you are my last hope. If even you can't save me, then I deserve to die!"

Shen Qiang smiled.

His mind suddenly focused.

Then he unleashed the Plague Source.

In an instant, Zombie Fungus erupted.

As they enveloped the entire room, Shen Qiang inexplicably felt nervous inside.

After all, this Zombie Fungus was derived from Nalan Tianyu's Zombie Powder. Theoretically, the host for this Zombie Fungus is insects like ants, wasps, and crickets.

And the Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu, in essence, is also an insect. Moreover, they have wings.

They are impervious to blades, and True Yuan has no effect.

Even some ordinary poisons can't harm them.

But it's different with the Zombie Fungus.

It's a parasitic fungus.

They synthesize chemical substances in the insect's brain, controlling it and directing it to move to a place suitable for the fungus to develop, and then they kill the host and use its body as nourishment.

Since acquiring the fungus, less than 48 hours had passed, so the Zombie Fungus hasn't fully evolved to its fullest potential, hence its power isn't maximal.

However, as long as the Golden-eyed Jade Flower Gu shares the characteristics of insects in their body structure, they absolutely can't resist Shen Qiang's Zombie Fungus.
