Chapter 141 Gu Insect
Just as Long Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Rong Ming and the others finally arrived. They could guess what Long Xiaoxiao was going to do, so when they saw the Azure Dragon God's figure upon arriving at their destination, they immediately landed and prepared to go forward.
Long Xiaoxiao turned her head and saw Rong Ming and his entourage. She immediately perked up and gestured with her chin toward them, saying, "Investigate the cause of their deaths."
After saying that, Long Xiaoxiao paused for a few seconds, thought for a moment, and then added, "Let Tang Xuan and the others come and take a look too!"
Long Xiaoxiao felt that these people's deaths were not natural and were mostly related to some supernatural energy.
As soon as Rong Ming arrived, he heard Long Xiaoxiao's instructions. He quickly nodded in agreement, called the people behind him to go forward and check, and then turned around to take the communication equipment to send a text message to the Department of Supernatural Powers and Chaos.
Tang De originally wanted to come with Rong Ming, but he was firmly rejected and the situation was urgent, so he couldn't make it. Now, upon hearing the news from Rong Ming, he was extremely excited and rushed to the tarmac, hurriedly asking someone to take him there.
Tang Xuan remained calm. She guessed that this incident must have involved unnatural deaths, which was why the Azure Dragon God specifically instructed Rong Ming to bring them here.
Tang Xuan knew she would be busy with work again, so she wasn't very interested.
By the time Tang Xuan and Tang De were also sent there, the sky had even darkened somewhat. The accompanying personnel had already conducted a general survey of the tribe, and the cause of death they could find was myocardial infarction.
The system scan results were the same, but it might be understandable if one person had a heart attack, but it would be strange if everyone in a tribe had a heart attack.
Everyone present was puzzled until the buzzing of a helicopter sounded. When they looked up, they saw Tang De's silly smile.
"I'm here!" Tang De exclaimed excitedly.
Long Xiaoxiao was nestled at the foot of a small, raised slope a little distance from the tribe. When she noticed Tang De and Tang Xuan approaching, she immediately went up to them and said, "Please go and see why they died."
As she spoke, Long Xiaoxiao thoughtfully pointed the tip of her tail in the direction of the tribe.
The sight of a large dragon waving its tiny tail was rather cute. Tang Xuan stood to the side, holding a doll, but her gaze unconsciously drifted to the tip of the dragon's small tail.
Hmm... I really want to touch it.
This moment of distraction didn't last long. Tang Xuan quickly snapped out of it, nodded, and then started walking towards the nearby tribe.
As soon as she got close, Tang Xuan smelled a strong stench and instinctively turned her head to gag.
Tang De remained calm, standing quietly to the side waiting for Tang Xuan to recover before stepping inside.
Although Tang Xuan felt nauseous, she recovered quickly. She swallowed her nausea and went inside. As soon as she saw some corpses covered with maggots, her brows furrowed and her expression turned grim.
In fact, Tang Xuan had seen corpses before. Over the years, she had been involved in all the supernatural events handled by the Department of Supernatural Powers and Chaos. But for some reason, she felt a bit sensitive here, and always felt irritable and nauseous.
Tang De, standing to the side, also frowned, his gaze quickly sweeping over one corpse after another, his expression serious.
This situation looks so familiar...
Long Xiaoxiao was originally waiting quietly for the two to tell her the result, but seeing them standing there, she couldn't help but fly over out of curiosity, holding her breath as she looked at them and asked, "How did it go?"
Tang Xuan shook her head, touched her chin, and silently took a few steps back. The strong stench dissipated slightly. She said, "I'm not sure, but it certainly doesn't seem like a normal death."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang De slowly added, "It seems to be a Gu worm."
"Gu worms?" Everyone present was surprised.
Rongming's expression also turned serious.
Long Xiaoxiao quietly asked the system, "Uncle, what is a Gu worm?"
The system searched the world database and explained: "A kind of evil art that uses the breeding of poisonous insects to cast curses on others to achieve one's own goals."
This is actually a fairly well-known form of sorcery in China, but it has always been regarded as a kind of feudal superstition, and not many people believe that it actually exists.
Long Xiaoxiao was puzzled and confused.
Insects are so small, how can they be so powerful?
Just as Long Xiaoxiao was puzzled, Rong Ming, who hadn't spoken until now, spoke up in a deep voice: "Weren't all the Gu worms destroyed ten years ago?"
Long Xiaoyu then silently turned to look at Rong Ming.
Tang De shook his head upon hearing his words: "We did destroy the batch we found, but who knows if there are any hidden ones?"
"Moreover, the key to refining Gu lies in the person." Tang De's expression revealed a deeper meaning as he said this.
Long Xiaoxiao was even more confused.
So how exactly did these people die? How can we avenge them?
Long Xiaoxiao wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, she decided not to say anything in the end, in order to maintain her identity as the all-knowing Azure Dragon God.
As Rongming listened to Tang De's words, his expression grew increasingly grim.
Ten years ago, Tang Xuan was only six or seven years old, so she had no recollection of the two people talking about destroying the Gu worms. However, she had looked through these files, so she had some understanding of them.
"So, did someone deliberately use a curse to frame the Azure Dragon God?" Tang Xuan speculated.
Rongming and Tangde exchanged a glance. Although they didn't speak, their eyes clearly showed that they agreed with what Tang Xuan said.
Long Xiaoxiao finally understood what Tang Xuan meant and said to the system somewhat angrily, "That person is so bad."
No one can stand being framed, and Long Xiaoxiao is no exception.
The system was also angry, echoing Long Xiaoxiao's words: "Yes! That's awful! They should be thrown into a frying pan!"
The people present exchanged glances, and finally Rong Ming pondered for a moment before speaking: "I have taken photos of the scene and will take the spring water back for testing. The evidence will be published on the international internet to clear the name of the Azure Dragon God."
Long Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at Rong Ming without saying a word.
The system was pleased and said to Long Xiaoxiao, "That's good."
“Hmm…” Long Xiaoxiao sounded a little hesitant.
The system asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
“They slandered me, and I even had to explain myself to them,” Long Xiaoxiao said, her tone slightly annoyed and annoyed. “I should have beaten them up.”
Long Xiaoxiao had never encountered anything like this before and had no experience in dealing with it. However, she suddenly remembered the elders' repeated instructions to her before she left the magical world: if she was bullied, she should fight back if she could, and if she couldn't, she should find a way to bully them back secretly.
Faced with this situation, Rongming and the system's approach is clearly not in line with the fierce style of the Dragon Clan.
