Chapter 736: Soul Eater

"It's like Gu Yidao, who was founded by Murong Feng to extract souls. I only need a pulse to detect it, but from Xiaochi's body, I can't detect any internal injuries on his body."

Nangong Yu frowned and said, "Xi'er, I believe you understand normal people have their complete soul. The complete soul is divided into three: the main soul, the awakening soul, and the living soul. Among them, the awakening soul is in charge of human thought and wisdom. If that part of the soul is swallowed, but the other two remain, the person will still retain their original vitality and have the ability to react, but there is no way to have wisdom like a person, let alone cultivate."

He Xi nodded, then immediately shook her head, "But even with the ancient records, I've never heard about a method to extract souls. Can you choose which of the three souls to extract?"

"Indeed." Nangong Yu smiled coldly and spoke slowly, "Soul extraction spells can't be done, but something more insidious can be done. I think you must be familiar with it, Xi'er."

"It is..."

Before Xi'er could finish her sentence, Nangong Yu spread his hand, and a tiny red insect-like creature appeared on his palm.

He Xi's pupil shrank suddenly, and her heart felt like it was severely pulled by someone, "Wu gu!"

"Yes, wu gu." Nangong Yu's expression was not any better than hers. His eyes were hostile and killing intent surrounded his body, "The gu worm in Xiaochi should be a Soul Eater Gu. Soul Eater Gu is cultivated in different ways. Some like ghosts, some like yang souls, and some like the human soul. People who raise gu worms can use different cultivation methods so the Soul Eater Gu can choose to devour different souls in the human body, but not lose a bit of their vitality.

"It's just that..." Nangong Yu paused, "It's just that the process of raising gu worms is challenging. During this period, raising gu worms require human souls as nourishment. A city likely was was sacrificed to develop it."

He Xi took a deep breath, gu worm, it was the gu worm again.

Last time in Broken Soul Mountain, a gu worm was almost planted on her. If Nangong Yu hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

And now, her younger brother, Xiaochi, was harmed by a gu worm.

It seemed she could no longer rely on only her medical and poisoning skills. In this strange world where many things could bring death, she must be careful and find ways to deal with it.

He Xi couldn't help asking, "I remember you said last time that it was challenging to cultivate a gu worm. Since the price is so large, it could not have been produced by a small family or sect. This gu worm, is also related to the Feng Family?"

Nangong Yu remembered the strange matrix in Nalan Zhengze's study, and squinted slightly, "Maybe it is the Feng Family, or maybe...a more powerful person. You're incorrect about a matter. It is not the Feng Family who can raise gu worms, but only the Valley Master of Thousand Poison Valley, Feng Liangying's master."

Master of Thousand Poison Valley?

He Xi frowned and looked at her younger brother on the bed, "Is the Soul Eater Gu still in Xiaochi? Is there a way to take it out?"

"The Soul Eater Gu has already been removed," Nangong Yu shook his head. "There is also another reason why your brother can recognize you. Although the Soul Eater Gu has its own preference, if it stays in a person too long, it will become hungry and not choose what it eats. Instead, it will swallow all the souls from the host. If that were the case, Xiaochi would have lost his mind and become a soulless walking dead."
