MM Racing Chapter 191 Manggu Zhuha
Chapter 191 Manggu Zhuha
Duan Yu?
Gu Qianbei's first thought upon seeing that person was that of the Prince of Dali.
After all, it's hard to find someone with such charisma besides him.
Duan Yu smiled when he saw Gu Qianbei and Cheng Lingsu and immediately stepped forward.
"Hello, sir and hello, young lady."
"My name is Duan Yu. I've come here to enjoy the scenery and have come across your distinguished bearing. I wonder if it would be possible to become friends with you two?"
Duan Yu had a smile on his face that was as refreshing as a spring breeze, making him a person who was easy to like.
Seeing this, Gu Qianbei also cupped his hands slightly and said with a smile, "I am Gu Qianbei, and this is Miss Cheng Lingsu."
We came here to search for the mythical creature known as the Manggu Toad because we heard that such creatures exist in this area.
Brother Duan, with such a magnanimous demeanor, must be no ordinary person.
"Haha, I'm just a scholar."
Duan Yu chuckled but didn't reveal his origins.
After all, if his identity as the heir of the Prince of Zhennan were revealed in Dali, it would likely cause many inconveniences, so it was better not to say so.
This can be considered a well-intentioned cover-up.
Gu Qianbei naturally didn't care about this and continued, "I see. Young Master Duan is going up the mountain?"
"Yes. I heard that today is the Wuliang Sword Sect's grand competition, which takes place every five years. It's very lively, and I'm thinking of going to see what's going on."
Duan Yu said with great excitement.
"I don't think Young Master Duan has any martial arts skills. Going to such a dangerous place might be a bit risky for him."
"Really? I didn't mean any harm."
"The martial world doesn't care whether you have malicious intentions or not."
In short, Brother Duan, if you really want to go, you'd better be careful.
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Gu. I will pay attention."
Duan Yu smiled and nodded, accepting Gu Qianbei's kind offer.
The road to the Wuliang Sword Sect did not overlap with the place Gu Qianbei was going, so the three of them traveled together for a while before parting ways.
"Brother Gu, this young master seems to be a complete novice in the martial arts world. Will he encounter any danger if we let him go up like this?"
Cheng Lingsu was always kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see someone as virtuous as Duan Yu get into trouble.
"Don't worry, although this person is a novice in the martial arts world, he has his own destiny and won't get into trouble easily."
This trip up the mountain is a stroke of luck for him; let him go.
Gu Qianbei laughed.
Wuliang Mountain was where Duan Yu made his fortune, so naturally he wouldn't refuse to let the other party do anything.
Perhaps the task of finding the Manggu Toad will ultimately fall to Duan Yu.
Therefore, it's best not to mess with Duan Yu's timeline before finding the Manggu Toad.
"Brother Gu, you seem like a fortune teller."
Cheng Lingsu smiled.
"Then I'll try wearing a Taoist robe another day."
The two chatted and laughed as they entered the depths of Wuliang Mountain.
Finding the Manggu Toad was no easy task, so the two were prepared for a long search.
"The flowers and plants here are lush, and the climate is also good. No wonder the Manggu Toad, the king of all poisons, exists here."
Cheng Lingsu looked around at the scenery and said.
"It is indeed a good place."
Gu Qianbei nodded slightly and continued, "Lingsu, this mountain is so big, do you have any way to find the Manggu Toad?"
"The Manggu Toad is the king of all poisons, and it has a particular fondness for highly toxic substances."
I plan to use some poison to lure it over.
Oh, and it also likes alcohol.
"Brother Gu, could you lend me some wine? I'll infuse the poison into it; it'll be even more effective."
"Poisonous substances and alcohol?"
I do have a type of wine that contains toxins, but it's used to detoxify.
Perhaps this wine would be more effective.
Gu Qianbei said upon hearing this.
"You even have this kind of wine? Brother Gu, could you bring it out and let me see it?"
Cheng Lingsu was immediately filled with curiosity.
"certainly."
Gu Qianbei took out the Cangguang Gourd, condensed another golden light cup, and poured it out for Cheng Lingsu to see.
"Brother Gu, how much wine is actually in that gourd?"
Cheng Lingsu didn't focus on the wine immediately, but instead asked about Cang Guanghu.
Because these days, she saw Gu Qianbei pour out many different kinds of wine from the Cangguang gourd, like a magic trick.
Gu Qianbei smiled mysteriously.
"There's plenty of wine in this gourd."
This is a magic trick passed down in my family, which I don't easily tell others.
My dad said only my future wife can say that.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Lingsu blushed and dared not ask any more questions, focusing instead on the Five Poisons Tempering Wine.
"This wine is really something else. It contains five-step snake, deadly scorpion, and soul-chasing bee? You actually mixed so many poisons into the wine?"
After observing for a moment, Cheng Lingsu took another sip and exclaimed in admiration.
This wine is truly amazing.
Sure enough, none of the wines Gu Qianbei took out were simple.
"How is it? Will this wine attract the Manggu Toad?"
Gu Qianbei asked.
"It should be fine!"
Cheng Lingsu nodded repeatedly.
"In that case, let's start luring it over."
"it is good."
Gu Qianbei immediately poured the internal energy of the Eclipse Sword Technique into the Golden Light Cup, making it warm.
Then another portion of the Thousand Days' Intoxication was poured in, making its aroma even richer.
The Five Poisons Tempering Wine and the Thousand Days Intoxication were combined, and for a time, the area within a three-mile radius was filled with a rich aroma of wine.
Gu Qianbei and Cheng Lingsu hid in the shadows, quietly waiting for the Manggu Toad to take the bait.
This aroma of wine is absolutely fatal to the Manggu Toad.
The two did not wait long before they heard a strange cry.
"That sound is from the Manggu Toad! It's here!"
Cheng Lingsu was immediately delighted and quickly looked at the location of the golden cup.
The next moment, the Manggu Toad jumped out from the side and landed near the Golden Cup.
It looked around, seemingly checking if there were any enemies lurking in the shadows.
However, Gu Qianbei and Cheng Lingsu hid far away and were well concealed, so the Manggu Zhuha did not notice them at all.
Seeing this, the Manggu Toad was relieved and immediately hopped over to the vicinity of the Golden Cup.
Its large tongue swept out and landed on the wine in the golden cup.
With a flick of the tongue, some of the wine was brought back.
This bite even brought a hint of human-like enjoyment to the face of the Manggu Toad.
I enjoyed it!
Without any further hesitation, Manggu Zhuha jumped into the golden cup and drank all the wine inside.
"Brother Gu, aren't we going to make a move? It's almost finished drinking and it'll run away soon."
Seeing that Gu Qianbei showed no intention of making a move, Cheng Lingsu couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Don't worry, look, it'll be drunk soon."
Gu Qianbei said with a smile.
"Drunk? It's just one cup of wine. The Manggu Toad won't get drunk, will it? It seems to have a pretty good tolerance for alcohol."
As soon as Cheng Lingsu finished speaking, she saw the Manggu Toad hiccup, then collapse in the golden cup, unable to move any further.
"this……"
Cheng Lingsu stared wide-eyed, her mouth agape in disbelief, looking incredibly cute.
"How about it? I told you it was about to pass out, wasn't it?"
Gu Qianbei said with a smile.
"Brother Gu, what did you add to the drink?"
"It's nothing, just a kind of wine that's very easy to get drunk on, called Thousand Days' Intoxication."
After Gu Qianbei finished speaking, he gently waved his right hand, and the golden cup transformed into a ball of golden light, completely enveloping the Manggu Toad. Then, with a whoosh, it flew towards Gu Qianbei and finally landed safely in his palm.
"Done."
Gu Qianbei smiled with satisfaction.
Looking at the Manggu Zhuha, who was so peacefully drunk under the Golden Light Mantra, Cheng Lingsu was momentarily speechless.
What was initially thought to be a troublesome matter turned out to be resolved so easily by Gu Qianbei.
"Brother Gu, you're amazing!"
Faced with the girl's heartfelt praise, Gu Qianbei's lips curled up slightly.
"It's nothing. Ling Su, what do you plan to do with this Manggu Toad?"
I want some of its toxins to brew wine; that shouldn't affect your use, right?
"Of course it won't have any impact."
Brother Gu, I can help you extract the toxins from the Manggu Toad, enough for exactly what you need.
As long as this Manggu toad lives and is properly fed, it will continuously produce toxins.
So I plan to keep it.
This allows for continuous development.
"Oh? That's a good idea. But you have to be careful not to get hurt by it."
Gu Qianbei said.
"Brother Gu, you're underestimating the methods of Medicine King Valley by saying that."
Although this giant toad is the king of all poisons, if it falls into my hands, I'll definitely subdue it completely.
Cheng Lingsu pouted slightly, clearly quite dissatisfied with Gu Qianbei's concern.
"Haha, it's my fault. I almost forgot that Ling Su is a disciple of Medicine King Valley."
This monstrous toad can't do anything to you.
I apologize to you.
Gu Qianbei laughed heartily and readily admitted his mistake, which finally brought a satisfied smile to Cheng Lingsu's face.
"Brother Gu, I was just joking. How could I let you really apologize?"
Let's find a place to get the poison.
"OK."
The two immediately found a secluded spot and began extracting the toxins from the Manggu Toad.
Cheng Lingsu took out a small jade bottle and placed it in the mouth of the Manggu Toad.
The Manggu Toad was still asleep and completely unaware of what was happening.
Cheng Lingsu took out several silver needles and inserted three needles into the Manggu Toad.
The next moment, the Manggu Toad made a gurgling sound and spat out a green liquid from its mouth. It looked extremely clear, like a green gemstone solution.
"Is this the toxin from the Manggu Toad?"
Gu Qianbei asked in surprise.
"That's right. This is already half of the deadly poison in the Manggu Toad's body."
This amount is just right; it won't harm it and can allow it to continue producing toxins.
Brother Gu, do you think this venom is enough?
If that's not enough, we can do it again after it rests today.
"It should be about time."
"it is good."
Cheng Lingsu immediately handed the jade bottle to Gu Qianbei.
With the venom in hand, we've essentially secured most of the materials needed to brew the Myriad Poisons Elixir.
What remains is the venom of the lightning ferret.
The Lightning Sable is in the hands of Zhong Ling in Wanjie Valley. According to the original plot, Zhong Ling should also be in Wuliang Mountain at this time.
He might be chatting with Duan Yu right now.
Cheng Lingsu took out a box and put the drunken Manggu Zhuha into it.
"What kind of box is this? Can it hold back the Manggu Toad?"
Gu Qianbei asked curiously.
"This is made from the skin of the Bosqu snake, which is very tough and has a soothing aroma for the Manggu Toad."
In this way, the Manggu Toad won't be agitated when it wakes up inside; instead, it will be very docile.
"I see. The Bodhi Serpent? You've also been to that mountain forest outside Xiangyang City?"
Gu Qianbei asked in surprise.
"Hmm. There are so many Bodhi snakes there, I naturally want to go and take a look."
I was lucky; I caught one with a trap and got a lot of good materials.
Cheng Lingsu smiled.
"I've been there before. They even brewed a kind of wine using snake gallbladders that could enhance physical fitness."
By the way, Lingsu, your body is quite weak; perhaps this wine can help nourish you.
"I'll treat you to a drink later when I'm free."
"OK."
Cheng Lingsu was very curious about Gu Qianbei's wines, and naturally she wouldn't refuse the opportunity to try something new.
"We've found the Manggu Toad, let's go down the mountain."
Cheng Lingsu said.
"No rush. We're already here, and it's still early. How about we go up the mountain and see what's going on?"
"If Brother Gu wants to go, I'll go with you."
Seeing Cheng Lingsu's obedient appearance, Gu Qianbei couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, let's go."
Just as the two were about to head to Sword Lake Palace, a white light suddenly flashed past from the nearby forest.
"Um?"
Gu Qianbei narrowed his eyes, keenly noticing the sliver of white light.
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Lingsu asked in confusion.
"Something flashed by, very fast, and not very big. It probably wasn't human; it was some kind of animal."
"What kind of animal can be that fast? Could it be a lightning ferret?"
Cheng Lingsu had extensive knowledge of poisons and immediately thought of this agile creature.
"Lightning Finch?"
Gu Qianbei was first surprised, then overjoyed.
I was just about to go find the Lightning Sable, but it unexpectedly came to me on its own.
This is truly a stroke of luck!
Before Gu Qianbei could think it through, the Lightning Sable had already darted out of the nearby jungle, intending to run away into the distance.
Clearly, the Lightning Sable had no intention of making contact with them and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Want to leave? You've come all this way, you can't just leave like this. You have to leave something behind."
Gu Qianbei smiled slightly, then a golden light flashed in his hand, and with the activation of the Golden Light Spell, a golden rope was formed.
Under Gu Qianbei's control, the golden rope, like a venomous snake, rushed straight towards the Lightning Sable.
Its speed was in no way inferior to that of the Lightning Sable.
squeak!
The Lightning Sable let out a fearful cry and then quickly dodged.
But the golden rope kept dancing in mid-air, and no matter how the lightning sable dodged, it could not completely break free.
"Knot!"
Gu Qianbei clasped his hands together and uttered a low murmur.
The golden ropes actually formed a golden cage, trapping the lightning sable inside.
Capture complete!
The lightning ferret was unable to move in the golden cage, its fur standing on end, looking angry and terrified.
Gu Qianbei pulled the golden rope in his right hand, and the golden cage flew into his hand.
Seeing the excited look on the Lightning Sable's face, Gu Qianbei said with a smile, "Little guy, don't get so excited. I don't mean you any harm."
"Let me get some poison, and I'll help you save your master, how about it?"
Upon hearing this, the lightning ferret seemed to understand, its bristling fur falling down and it regaining its cute and docile appearance.
It squeaked twice, seemingly trying to confirm whether Gu Qianbei was telling the truth.
Gu Qianbei smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I won't lie to you. I have no reason to lie to you."
"Because even if I kill you, I can still get what I want."
Upon hearing this, the lightning ferret bristled slightly.
"Brother Gu, this lightning ferret is so intelligent!"
Upon seeing this, Cheng Lingsu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"After all, they are artificially raised, so they will naturally be more human-like."
"Brother Gu, do you know the owner of this lightning ferret?"
Cheng Lingsu asked curiously.
"I've heard that the Zhong family of Wanjie Valley has a habit of raising lightning ferrets."
This place isn't far from Wanjie Valley, so it must be the Lightning Sable of Wanjie Valley.
The lightning ferret's haste clearly indicates that it has just encountered some unexpected event.
Judging from his anxious appearance, he must be heading back to Wanjie Valley to get reinforcements.
It seems its owner has run into trouble, which is why it's like this.
"I see."
Gu Qianbei turned his gaze to the Lightning Sable and said, "Little guy, I'll let you go later. You lead the way, I'll go rescue your master, and then you can spit some poison at me, how about that?"
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
The lightning ferret nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Seeing this, Gu Qianbei released a golden light, and the Lightning Sable immediately jumped onto his shoulder, curiously examining him as if to confirm whether he had the ability to save Zhong Ling.
The observation didn't last long before the Lightning Sable began to lead the way.
"Ling Su, let's go, let's go rescue them."
"good!"
The Lightning Sable is very fast, so Gu Qianbei could use Phoenix Dance Six Illusions without much trouble, but Cheng Lingsu did not have that ability.
So, Gu Qianbei casually put his arm around Cheng Lingsu's waist to help her speed up.
Cheng Lingsu blushed slightly, but did not resist.
Practice makes perfect, and these little actions between the two are no longer a big deal.
Soon, the two men and the sable arrived at Sword Lake Palace.
"Who goes there! How dare you trespass into my Boundless Sword Sect!"
The gatekeeper shouted.
"Whom did your Boundless Sword Sect arrest today?"
Gu Qianbei said softly.
"Hmm? Could it be that you're in cahoots with that rude girl and that hotheaded brat?"
The gatekeeper called out.
"I'm in cahoots with this lightning weasel."
Gu Qianbei pointed to the lightning ferret on the ground.
Lightning Sable dodged and landed on Gu Qianbei's shoulder.
"Lightning Sable! You really are in cahoots with that rude girl! Are you here to deliver the antidote?"
"If there's no antidote, that little girl is doomed!"
"Even if that's the case. What procedures are involved?"
Gu Qianbei said softly.
Although he was powerful enough to wipe out the entire Wuliang Sword Sect, he wasn't some ruthless old demon who killed without hesitation. The Wuliang Sword Sect hadn't offended him, so there was no need to start fighting right away.
People should value harmony above all else.
"Come with me! I'll take you to see the sect leader!"
Led by the gatekeeper disciple, Gu Qianbei and Cheng Lingsu soon met Zuo Zimu.
"Do you have the antidote?"
Zuo Zimu was pale and looked to be in very poor condition.
The lightning weasel bit him, so he was naturally not in a very good condition.
There is no antidote.
"You're kidding me!"
Zuo Zimu angrily drew his sword, but his body swayed unsteadily, looking rather weak.
"Leader Zuo, please don't get agitated. This poison doesn't require an antidote. The woman beside me is Cheng Lingsu, a disciple of Medicine King Valley. With her here, this poison is nothing."
However, I need to see that girl first before I can cure you of the poison.
"A disciple of Medicine King Valley?"
Zuo Zimu was startled upon hearing this and looked at Cheng Lingsu.
Clearly, he had also heard of the Valley of Medicine Kings.
If the other party is indeed a disciple of Medicine King Valley, then this poison is not a big problem.
How can I trust you?
Zuo Zimu said in a low voice.
Gu Qianbei did not answer, but looked at Cheng Lingsu.
"Ling Su, show off your skills to Sect Leader Zuo."
Cheng Lingsu nodded slightly and stepped forward to insert a needle into Zuo Zimu's bitten wrist.
"Um?"
Zuo Zimu was startled and was about to make a move when he suddenly felt that the poison in his body seemed to have eased and he was not in so much pain.
"this……"
Zuo Zimu was overjoyed; he hadn't expected such an effect from just one injection.
"So? Do you believe me now?"
Gu Qianbei laughed.
"I believe you, I believe you! Please wait a moment, young master, I will immediately send someone to fetch Miss Zhong."
She wasn't harmed at all while she was with me.
If her lightning ferret hadn't bitten me, I wouldn't have planned to keep her.
Zuo Zimu quickly cupped his hands and said.
As a seasoned veteran, he realized that the man and woman in front of him were not to be trifled with, and it was best to be respectful to ensure his safety.
Seeing that Zuo Zimu was so sensible, Gu Qianbei was naturally very satisfied.
Not long after, Zhong Ling was brought over.
"Who are you? Why are you here to save me?"
Zhong Ling looked at Gu Qianbei and Cheng Lingsu with a puzzled expression. Upon seeing this, the Lightning Sable pounced over, jumped onto her shoulder, and affectionately rubbed against her cheek.
"Mink! So it was you who brought the reinforcements! You're amazing!"
Zhong Ling happily stroked the Lightning Sable's fur and hugged it in her arms.
"We made a deal with the Lightning Sable. Just give me some of the Lightning Sable's venom later."
Gu Qianbei said.
"Oh, I see. Brother and sister, you are such kind people."
Zhong Ling said happily.
"Could you two please help me detoxify?"
Zuo Zimu said anxiously.
The thought of a deadly poison flowing through his body made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Of course. Ling Su is in your hands now."
"it is good."
Cheng Lingsu stepped forward and repeatedly pierced Zuo Zimu's body with silver needles. In a short while, she forced the poison out of the wounds.
Cheng Lingsu then wrote down another prescription and handed it to Zuo Zimu.
"The poison in your body has been completely expelled. After that, follow this prescription and drink the medicine for three days, and you will be fully recovered."
"Thank you, young lady! Thank you, young lady!"
Zuo Zimu looked grateful.
"Wait! What have you done to Young Master Duan?"
Zhong Ling suddenly asked.
"That dimwitted kid? He ran very fast; the disciple I sent to find him couldn't catch him."
I don't know where he went now.
However, he took the "Seven-Day Intestinal Severing Powder," so he should be back within seven days.
Zuo Zimu stated the truth.
"That young master Duan must have gone to Wanjie Valley to inform my parents."
Hearing that Duan Yu had run out, Zhong Ling felt relieved.
Gu Qianbei knew, however, that Duan Yu was most likely in Langhuan Paradise receiving his newbie gift pack at that moment.
Just then, a middle-aged woman suddenly ran over, her face full of wailing.
"Husband! Something terrible has happened! Our son has been kidnapped by Ye Erniang! You must think of something!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Zuo Zimu was shocked and staggered, almost losing his balance.
"You mean Ye Erniang, the second-ranked of the Four Evils? The one who takes pleasure in toying with the lives of infants?"
"Waaaaah, it's her."
My husband, what should we do?
"Ye Erniang is a beast! Our son is only two months old. If he falls into her hands, how can he possibly survive?"
The middle-aged woman was crying her heart out, gasping for breath.
Zuo Zimu's face was also ashen.
The joy of being detoxified and saved vanished without a trace.
Gu Qianbei frowned slightly.
Ye Erniang?
I never expected to run into this beast here.
Then you can only blame your bad luck!
