"Heh heh, well... Big Brother, here's the thing. This Ten Thousand Gu Golden Cicada has been starving for many years, and it needs to eat now, otherwise, it'll backlash against me! It's my newly acquired pet, so..."
Lin Shuai Nan gave an awkward smile and then scanned his surroundings.
Only then did Ling Feng completely understand what was going on.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, "You mean, you want that Ten Thousand Gu Golden Cicada to eat the corpses of everyone here? Will it like eating these things?"
"It's what it wants... It has nothing to do with me. I'm not that perverted. But... hehe, Big Brother, speaking of which, since these guys are already dead, it's a waste to leave them here. Moreover, this is the sacred beast worshipped by their Ten Thousand Gu Cult. Now they've sacrificed themselves for the sacred beast, so it's also making good use of waste, right?"
Lin Shuai Nan quickly explained to Ling Feng.
Regarding the Ten Thousand Gu Golden Cicada eating all the corpses here, Lin Shuai Nan felt it was a bit difficult to accept. However, it was still better than letting the Ten Thousand Gu Golden Cicada eat him!
"Alright, I understand."
Ling Feng took a deep breath and quickly collected all the valuable items from the people around him.
Then he looked back at Lin Shuai Nan deeply, "Shuai Nan, this opportunity is extremely rare for you. You must cherish it and inherit everything of the Ten Thousand Gu Cult. It would be a way to not let down those who sacrificed their lives to protect that Ten Thousand Gu Golden Cicada!"
Lin Shuai Nan immediately put on a demeanor of shouldering an important mission, "Big Brother, don't worry. I will definitely complete this task properly. I will be the leader of the Ten Thousand Gu Cult from now on!"
Ling Feng saw the light of conviction in Lin Shuai Nan's eyes.
Then he nodded and stepped back.
At this moment, Ling Feng was also quite curious about how the Ten Thousand Gu Golden Cicada would eat the people here.
After seeing Ling Feng leave, Lin Shuai Nan released the Ten Thousand Gu Golden Cicada and said with a smile, "Heh heh, eat up! It's all yours!"
Croak!
The Ten Thousand Gu Golden Cicada let out a very piercing cry, and then its body, which was only the size of a fist, directly expanded dozens of times!
Ling Feng's eyes widened, sensing the immense power emanating from the Ten Thousand Gu Golden Cicada!
"This guy's cultivation has surpassed mine. At least a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage could contend with it. Will this thing willingly stay by Lin Shuai Nan's side?"
Ling Feng's first thought was about Lin Shuai Nan's safety.
If this thing suddenly betrayed him one day, Lin Shuai Nan would be in great danger, and could be backlashed by it at any moment!
Swish swish...
The giant Ten Thousand Gu Golden Cicada kept flicking its tongue in and out!
The sound of breaking through the air was constant. The corpses around that were not yet dried, which were the cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage, were all swallowed by the Ten Thousand Gu Golden Cicada!
Although its body was quite enormous, it didn't expand much after swallowing nearly a hundred people. This showed how astonishing its appetite was!
However, after the Ten Thousand Gu Golden Cicada ate these people's corpses, Ling Feng clearly felt that its aura had grown significantly stronger!
If outsiders saw this scene, they would surely be scared out of their wits!
Even Ling Feng, with his strong mental fortitude, felt his heart race when he saw all of this!
From now on, Lin Shuai Nan would have such a terrifying entity by his side.
This thing was definitely highly poisonous, and its cultivation was even much higher than Ling Feng's.
Ling Feng was now very worried. This thing was too threatening and put a lot of pressure on him!
"Are you full and satisfied? Heh heh, then come back and behave. After I finish my cultivation, I'll find you some good food!"
Lin Shuai Nan actually beckoned to the Ten Thousand Gu Golden Cicada at this moment.
The Ten Thousand Gu Golden Cicada surprisingly shrank its body obediently, quickly turning into a golden light and entering Lin Shuai Nan's body.
Ling Feng's mouth twitched, "It seems my worries were unnecessary. This brat Shuai Nan is truly a Son of Fortune. With such a terrifying entity by his side, even if it were me and the Black Dragon, we might not be able to harm him!"
Muttering this to himself, Ling Feng felt no sourness in his heart.
This was all Lin Shuai Nan's good fortune, his destiny.
Others could not envy it, and Ling Feng would certainly not be jealous of him because of this fortune.
Although Lin Shuai Nan seemed to be the biggest winner this time, it was all as it should be.
Even if he had known in advance that the sacred beast of the Ten Thousand Gu Cult was hidden here, Ling Feng would have found it difficult to kowtow to the three dead men.
This was all due to his personality, what is known as destiny.
"The Ten Thousand Gu Golden Cicada is very powerful. You still need to control it well. No matter what, don't let it harm you!"
Ling Feng stepped forward and solemnly cautioned Lin Shuai Nan.
Lin Shuai Nan grinned, his smile brilliant, "Heh heh, Big Brother, don't worry. If this guy hadn't been awakened by my blood essence, it wouldn't have woken up. Now it's integrated with me. If I die, it will die too!"
Ling Feng's eyes widened, and he looked at Lin Shuai Nan in disbelief.
Immediately after, Ling Feng could only shake his head and smile bitterly. This Lin Shuai Nan, he truly had incredible luck!
"In that case, you said earlier that it would backlash against you?"
Ling Feng shook his head speechlessly.
It was clear that he felt Lin Shuai Nan had been talking nonsense earlier.
Lin Shuai Nan nodded very seriously, "Yes. If this guy gets desperate from hunger, it can bite off a piece of flesh from me to replenish its strength. As long as I don't die, it's fine..."
Ling Feng finally understood the relationship between them.
At the same time, he was somewhat amazed. What kind of monster had the Ten Thousand Gu Cult researched?
But now, it seemed that this thing would not pose a great threat to Lin Shuai Nan. In fact, it would desperately protect Lin Shuai Nan when he encountered a true life-or-death crisis.
This time, Ling Feng was completely relieved.
Lin Shuai Nan was undoubtedly the biggest winner of this trip, but for Ling Feng, he also had considerable gains.
Moreover, many of the gains from this trip were things that Ling Feng had no time to examine yet. But just the part he had seen so far was enough to significantly improve Ling Feng's cultivation in a short period.
His future improvement would also be a complete transformation!
However, this also made Ling Feng a little more worried.
Seeing Ling Feng's brow slightly furrowed, Lin Shuai Nan curiously asked, "Big Brother, is something wrong? Don't worry, I've already obtained the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Gu Cult. There's basically no more value to be exploited here. Although I'm tasked with carrying forward the Ten Thousand Gu Cult, I really dislike this kind of environment. It's better for the Ten Thousand Gu Cult to live in the sunlight in the future!"
As he spoke, Lin Shuai Nan showed a look of disgust towards his surroundings.
Ling Feng snapped back to attention, smiled bitterly, and shook his head, "I'm not worried about these things. I'm worried that since the Ten Thousand Gu Cult has appeared, will the ruins of sects from the same period as the Ten Thousand Gu Cult also appear? This is something I didn't expect, and what kind of impact will it have on this world?"
