Chapter 5
According to Hua Yuling, among the thirty thousand gu in Miaojiang, there was a special category of gu that were like insects, yet not quite insects-somewhere between plants and animals.
They were similar to things like cordyceps, their state changing with the seasons. One plant in particular was called Abyss Wriggling Grass. For most of the year, it remained in plant form, but every late autumn, its leaves gave off a special fragrance that attracted snakes and insects.
Once those snakes or insects ate its leaves, they would be parasitized instead. Their bodies would begin rotting from the inside, constantly oozing mucus. After their muscles, bones, and organs had all been devoured clean by the plant, the skin on top of their heads would split open, and several leaves would sprout from their skulls, turning them into a complete Wriggling Grass.
This Wriggling Grass possessed an animal’s body and could move around at will. It loved eating raw meat.
Even if it was chopped into several pieces, because of its plant nature, as long as there was soil, every single piece could keep growing. It was an absolute pain to deal with.
Hua Yuling looked at Lu Lingzhu with admiration written all over her face.
“Its mucus is formed from the melted bones and blood of rotting animal corpses. It reeks horribly. When I was little, I wanted to try it a few times, but I never had the courage. You’re amazing.”
Lu Lingzhu: “Blargh-yuegh-you couldn’t have said that earlier? Ugh-”
Lu Lingzhu crouched on the ground, retching up stomach acid. Song Feifei walked over from a distance.
“What are you guys doing? Lingzhu, what’s wrong with you?”
Lu Lingzhu quickly swallowed the acid back down, wiped her mouth, then swiftly hooked up a glob of mucus from the ground. Standing up, she brought her finger right in front of Song Feifei.
“Feifei, this is imported chocolate Qiao Moyu brought. It’s super good. Want a taste?”
“Chocolate?”
Song Feifei’s suspicious gaze swept over us.
“Why is it melted?”
Lu Lingzhu shrugged.
“Well, Qiao Moyu has a lot of internal heat. You know, she runs hot. She held it in her hand, and her temperature was too high, so it melted.
“It’s even better melted. I’m seriously not lying. Hurry up and try it.”
Song Feifei twisted her head away, avoiding Lu Lingzhu’s finger.
“I don’t believe you. You’re not messing with me, are you?
“Unless you eat it first.”
Lu Lingzhu hesitated for a moment. Then her gaze gradually firmed. With her brows tightly furrowed, she stuck out the tip of her tongue and rapidly licked her finger again.
Lu Lingzhu’s entire face scrunched up, but she still forced out a smile, looking as if she were savoring it in bliss.
“Mm. Delicious. It really is good. See? I wasn’t lying.”
Song Feifei’s cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish.
“Pfft-hahahahahaha-
“I heard everything you guys said earlier! Hahahahaha, Lingzhu, you’re so gross!”
Lu Lingzhu: “Ugh-damn it, blegh-“
