The Demonic Cultivator In Zombie World-Chapter 295: Today’s Long need not be yesterday’s Long

"This Devouring Thunder Ant cultivation method is quite remarkable," Chu Xuan mused as he delved deeply into the technique, his mind achieving a moment of epiphany, sparking a sense of lateral thinking.

The method employed by the Devouring Thunder Ant was akin to usurping the nest—specifically, it took advantage of the small size of the Devouring Thunder Ant eggs to parasitize other ant eggs.

When these parasitized eggs hatched, they initially appeared as their original species, such as the Fire Ant or Blade Ant.

Step by step, the Devouring Thunder Ant would consume the nutrients of these host insects. When the time was ripe, the Devouring Thunder Ant would emerge, breaking out from within these hosts.

The difficulty of the "Heavenly Yin Gu Corpse Technique" lay in the discordance between the gu insects and the corpse puppets.

Thinking along these lines, could one perhaps select a gu insect with similar habits to parasitize a living human body? Could this step-by-step transform the host into a gu corpse?

Such gu insects were not rare. Perhaps one could go even further, using a corpse disguised as a living person to deceive the gu insects.

This would ultimately allow the gu insect and the corpse puppet to merge perfectly, creating a true gu corpse!

Chu Xuan couldn't help but praise his own ingenuity.

That's exactly what he would do!

…

Immediately, Chu Xuan returned to Mystic Azure Star. He tasked Wan Hun to find suitable gu insects for him.

Wan Hun was highly efficient. Before long, he had procured three types of gu insects.

"Blue Tuft Silk, Marrow Sucking Worm, and Bone Swapping Worm."

Chu Xuan examined these three gu insects and, with a grand gesture, began the experimentation.

After all, practice is the sole criterion for truth. His experiments required many volunteers.

However, Chu Xuan only needed to snap his fingers, and immediately, numerous zombie volunteers came forth to contribute to his gu insect project.

Chu Xuan did not let these volunteers' selfless contributions go to waste. In just one month, he successfully concluded his experiments.

It was feasible!

The most suitable gu insect was the Blue Tuft Silk. This gu insect was quite unique.

If one must make a comparison, Chu Xuan felt it somewhat straddled the line between insect and plant.

It was extremely surreptitious; once it entered a body, it could lie dormant for decades without ever harming its host.

However, during its dormancy, the Blue Tuft Silk continuously released a toxin. This toxin would gradually alter the host's body, hardening it. Eventually, the host would turn into a lifelike blue wooden sculpture.

At that moment, the Blue Tuft Silk truly revealed its fangs, beginning to devour the host's organs and flesh. Once it had consumed its fill, the Blue Tuft Silk would drill a small hole through the host's skull and sprout bright blue flowers.

Eventually, these flowers would release numerous spores. These spore worms would drift with the wind, seeking other unfortunate hosts to continue the propagation of the Blue Tuft Silk.

As for deceiving the Blue Tuft Silk into thinking the corpse was a living person, Chu Xuan already had a plan in mind. What differentiates a corpse from a living person?

A corpse lacks vitality; a living person possesses it! Therefore, the solution was to infuse the corpse with life! This was precisely the kind of task for which the Psionic Cube was perfect!

Without hesitation, Chu Xuan inserted a Psionic Cube into Jin Zhao's body. He then implanted the Blue Tuft Silk's eggs into Jin Zhao's chest. After that, all he needed to do was wait. It wouldn't take long for the gu corpse to emerge.

…

The creation of the gu corpse happened faster than Chu Xuan had anticipated. Within a month, Jin Zhao's body had completely hardened, transforming into a blue wooden sculpture. The Blue Tuft Silk eggs, receiving the signal, immediately hatched and began consuming Jin Zhao's insides, ultimately taking over the shell.

When the Blue Tuft Silk tried to instinctively drill through the cranial plate, it was suddenly met with resistance far exceeding its expectations. The cranial plate was much harder than anticipated.

Confused, the Blue Tuft Silk wondered how it was supposed to bloom and spread seeds. It attempted several times to drill through the eyes, nose, and mouth but failed each time.

Chu Xuan, observing from the side, couldn't help but laugh. He had soaked Jin Zhao's entire body in a corpse-refining solution, making it extraordinarily hard, capable of withstanding a full-strength hit from a top-grade magical treasure. The newly born Blue Tuft Silk, being only a second-tier gu, understandably found it difficult to break through.

Left with no other options, the Blue Tuft Silk had to bloom and seed within Jin Zhao's body. More and more Blue Tuft Silks eventually occupied Jin Zhao's entire shell.

At this moment, Chu Xuan slowly stood up. He had already taken control of the initial egg with his own blood essence. Now was the time.

"Rise."

With a low shout from Chu Xuan, the Blue Tuft Silks inside Jin Zhao received the signal and instinctively began to act. The body of Jin Zhao, which had been lying on the ground for a long time, suddenly trembled.

With a whoosh, Jin Zhao swiftly leapt up. However, while his legs received the command to stand, his torso, arms, and head remained on the ground. The subsequent movements were also exceedingly strange, resembling the bizarre motions of some peculiar creature.

Chu Xuan was not particularly concerned about the initial quirks of his creation. After all, it was a new path he had forged himself. Some initial issues were normal and could be fine-tuned over time.

Ten days later, Chu Xuan observed the gu corpse, which moved with the ferocity of a storm, and a satisfied smile spread across his face. The gu corpse, freshly created, already possessed the level of a first-tier Corpse King. Its talents were extraordinary, marking it as a top-tier corpse puppet. In addition to the four spells it inherently knew, it also carried two spells from the Blue Tuft Silk.

"Hu, go, play with it a bit," Chu Xuan commanded, gesturing with a wave of his hand. Hu charged forward in a burst, engaging the gu corpse in combat.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Tremendous forces clashed.

Remarkably, the gu corpse wasn't sent flying with a single punch; it merely staggered back several steps.

Hu roared, "Again!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two corpses exchanged blows continuously, with fierce gusts of wind from their fists swirling around them. Both sustained damage, with chunks of flesh flying off.

Chu Xuan's eyes lit up. "Such powerful strength!"

Bao was also crouched on the side, watching the intense fight. Seeing its elder and a junior go at it so fiercely excited it too. It hurriedly took the opportunity to snatch up the scattered pieces of flesh and stuffed them into its mouth.

Chu Xuan's mouth twitched at the sight. "Can't you be a bit more dignified? Must you eat everything?"

After a while, at Chu Xuan's command, the two corpses gradually disengaged. The gu corpse, newly refined and already capable of contending with Hu, a fourth-tier Corpse King, showed immense potential.

"Very good! Very good indeed!" Chu Xuan nodded in complete satisfaction.

"Master!" Hu knelt before Chu Xuan.

The gu corpse stood somewhat dumbly by. Blue Tuft Silks emerged from its skin, swiftly repairing the battle damages.

"You also need a name. What shall I call you?" Chu Xuan stroked his chin. It was time for the enjoyable task of naming, a task at which he excelled.

"Your original form was Jin Zhao, and you contain the Blue Tuft Silk. I think I'll call you… Long!"

Chu Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Long, Hu, Bao! What a melodious ring to it. How could it be complete without a Long? Today's Long need not be yesterday's Long.
