One person said: "If I make you a holy child, will you be granted godhood through the art of Gu

But he couldn't remember which one it was for the time being.

"Chen Jing, were you involved in this investigation before?" Jiang Mo asked, looking up.

Chen Jing nodded: "Yes, Mr. Jiang."

"I once accompanied four extraordinary individuals to the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley, but because I didn't understand Qi, I wasn't affected."

Have you noticed anything unusual?

Jiang Mo pressed further, "For example, a peculiar smell, or a strange sound?"

Chen Jing thought for a moment: "Speaking of which, there is indeed a strange buzzing sound on the nights of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley."

"It sounds like the flapping of some kind of insect's wings, but we can't find the source of the sound."

Jiang Mo's eyes narrowed: "A buzzing sound? When is it most noticeable?"

“It usually happens around midnight,” Chen Jing replied, “and the closer to the center of the valley, the louder the sound.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mo already had some guesses in his mind.

According to his knowledge of Gu techniques, there is a type of Gu worm called "Netherworld Gu" that uses this method to prey on the Qi of its prey.

The Netherworld Gu is extremely rare and usually lives in dark and damp environments.

They are nocturnal and lure prey with distinctive wingbeats.

Then, when the prey is off guard, it suddenly attacks and devours the prey's Qi and life energy.

After being attacked by the Netherworld Gu, the prey's body will develop spiderweb-like black markings.

This is precisely the sign of the Netherworld Gu parasitizing.

If it really is the work of the Netherworld Gu, then the situation is much more serious than imagined.

Because the Netherworld Gu usually does not act alone, but appears in groups, led by a powerful "Gu Mother".

The person who can control the Netherworld Gu must be a master of Gu magic.

Jiang Mo closed the document, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes: "Chen Jing, contact General Manager Zhao and tell him I need more information about the terrain and environment of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley."

"Especially whether there are caves or underground water systems."

Chen Jing immediately took out her communicator and contacted General Manager Zhao as Jiang Mo had requested.

Jiang Mo continued to ponder countermeasures.

If it really is a Netherworld Gu, then the solution is actually quite simple—find and destroy the Gu mother.

Once the Gu Mother is destroyed, the remaining Netherworld Gu will lose control and dissipate on their own.

The problem is that the Gu Mother is usually very well hidden, and is protected by a large number of Netherworld Gu.

Even with Jiang Mo's strength, finding and eliminating the Gu Mother would not be an easy task.

More importantly, there is likely someone else manipulating the Gu Mother behind the scenes, and that is the real target we need to be wary of.

The plane continued flying towards the Twenty-Four Valleys.

Through the porthole, Jiang Mo could see the mountains below becoming increasingly steep and the scenery increasingly desolate.

Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley is a place full of legends and mystery.

It has always been one of the forbidden areas in the world of supernatural beings.

It is said that the area has a special geographical environment that can affect the flow of Qi in people, thus making it a place for many extraordinary people to cultivate and challenge themselves.

But now, this place has become a death trap.

Jiang Mo's eyes deepened.

He had a vague feeling that there might be a bigger secret hidden behind this incident.

And he will be the key to unlocking this secret.

"Mr. Jiang, according to the latest information provided by General Manager Zhao, the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley does indeed have a complex underground water system, and in the center of the valley, there is a cave that the locals call the 'Snake Cave.'"

Chen Jing returned to Jiang Mo's side and reported.

"A snake's lair?" A glint of light flashed in Jiang Mo's eyes. "Has anyone gone in to investigate?"

Chen Jing shook her head: "It is said that the cave is very dangerous, and the nearby residents dare not go near it."

"Before the company's investigators could even begin to investigate, unusual symptoms appeared."

Jiang Mo nodded, his guess becoming clearer.

The Netherworld Gu prefers dark and damp environments, and caves are their ideal habitat.

"How much longer until we reach our destination?" Jiang Mo asked.

“In about an hour, we will land in the nearest small town and then drive to Twenty-Four Festivals Valley,” Chen Jing replied.

Jiang Mo nodded, closed his eyes, and began to adjust his state.

He is about to face a tough battle and needs to be in top condition.

The Qi within his body began to flow slowly, causing the parasitic Gu worms within him to operate as well.

These Gu worms had long since merged with him, becoming part of his power.

As his cultivation deepened, Jiang Mo discovered that his perception of Gu (a type of poisonous insect) was becoming increasingly acute, and he could even communicate with Gu in specific ways.

This ability gave him a significant advantage when fighting against other Gu Masters.

Now, he is about to face what may be the most powerful Gu technique opponent since the Medicine Immortal Gathering.

The plane continued its steady flight, heading towards its unknown and dangerous destination.

Jiang Mo gripped the jade bottle in his backpack tightly; it contained the antidote pills Chen Duo had given him.

Although with his strength, ordinary toxins are no longer a threat to him.

But Chen Duo's kindness warmed his heart.

This mission wasn't just about the company's reward and those precious Gu worms.

It was also to protect innocent people from the harm of Gu poison.

As someone who has mastered the power of the Gu God, he has a responsibility to maintain this balance.

As Li Muxuan said, with great power comes great responsibility.

Jiang Mo gently opened her eyes.

No matter who the opponent is, no matter what dangers he faces, he will move forward without hesitation.

The plane began its slow descent.

Jiang Mo awoke from his meditation and looked out the window.

Beneath the clouds lies a small city surrounded by mountains.

Although not large in scale, the buildings are arranged in a staggered and orderly manner, making it quite spectacular.

"Mr. Jiang, this is Beijiang City, about a two-hour drive from Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley."

Chen Jing walked over and explained, "The company has a small base here, and transportation and necessary supplies have been arranged."

Jiang Mo nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

The plane landed smoothly at the small airport in Beijiang City. Jiang Mo picked up her bag and followed Chen Jing off the plane.

Outside the airport, a black SUV had been waiting for some time.

Chen Jing opened the car door, gesturing for Jiang Mo to get in.

"Mr. Jiang, this is our driver, Mr. Wang. He's very familiar with the local terrain."

A dark-skinned middle-aged man turned around and nodded to Jiang Mo: "Hello, Mr. Jiang, my name is Wang Dashan. I know this area very well."

Jiang Mo sat in the back seat and replied softly, "Thank you for your trouble."

The car started, drove out of the airport, and headed along the mountain road towards the Twenty-Four Valleys.

As the altitude increases, the road becomes increasingly rugged.

The scenery on both sides gradually changes from urban buildings to dense mountain forests.

"Master Wang, are you a local?" Jiang Mo suddenly asked.
