Chapter 292
She wanted to meet Jiang Yi.
But now, she regrets it!
Jiang Yi clearly lacks martial ethics!
It's definitely not logical to explain it.
I'm already thankful that he finally let her leave this prison!
Therefore, Xu Lianhua no longer intended to ask Jiang Yi how he knew about the Silkworm Heart Gu.
She pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice:
"The Silkworm Heart Gu is still under development. If you simply want to torture people, I have several other types of Gu worms for you to choose from."
Jiang Yi nodded slightly: "Okay, but I still want to ask you—"
He actually wanted to ask her directly if she knew Xu Nianhua.
But then I thought about it again and asked the question in a different way:
"Who taught you your methods of raising Gu poison?"
Xu Lianhua's eyes flickered slightly, but she quickly regained her expressionless demeanor, her voice flat and monotone:
“With my grandfather.”
This answer is actually quite perfunctory.
But after a moment's thought, Jiang Yi's voice suddenly changed: "Your grandfather..."
"Is he the successor?"
"Hmm?" Xu Lianhua looked puzzled. "What is a successor?"
Jiang Yi didn't answer, but looked into her eyes and tried to deduce her emotions.
Xu Lianhua knew she was being suspected, but she remained completely calm.
She pressed further, "You're a successor? Aren't all those big shots like Lu Li and Jin Buli successors?"
"Inheritance...is that the reason you became stronger?"
Jiang Yi didn't answer, but stared at her for a long time.
Xu Lianhua felt a chill run down his spine before he calmly uttered a sentence:
"Your family's gu-raising technique must also be a kind of inheritance, right?"
Xu Lianhua pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time.
But in the end, considering Jiang Yi's personality, she couldn't figure him out.
In the end, she confessed: "My grandfather was indeed not a successor."
Grandpa once told me—
"Our Xu family's Gu-raising technique was not invented by our ancestor."
"It was discovered by our ancestors through observation of insects."
"In other words, this technology itself originated from the Zerg."
"Our ancestors simply learned from insects, then summarized, generalized, and further studied them."
"Including a concept of 'raising poisonous insects' that my grandfather often told me—"
“Our Xu family’s practice of raising Gu is not ‘humans raising Gu,’ but rather ‘Gu raising Gu…’”
She paused suddenly at this point.
He added a few more words: "Even... 'Gu nourishes people'."
That's a bit creepy.
But Jiang Yi believed it.
Because Xu Nianhua, whom he knew, was also a pervert who raised Gu poison with his own body!
He thought for a moment, then asked, "Your ability to sense life energy, was that also obtained through raising people with Gu?"
Xu Lianhua pursed her lips and did not answer.
Jiang Yi didn't press the matter, and asked again, "Then do you know exactly what kind of insect race inspired your Xu family's ancestor to cultivate Gu?"
Xu Lianhua shook her head slightly: "There are written records of this, but the handwriting is blurry and it's in ancient script, so it's impossible to decipher."
"However, my grandfather speculated that it was probably an extinct insect."
"Because those insects are quite freakish; they are hostile to their own kind, attack each other, and eat the corpses of their own kind..."
"And as they evolve and become stronger, their reproductive ability will decrease."
"My grandfather speculated that if that insect hasn't gone extinct by now, then there's only one possibility left—"
"It wiped out its kind, leaving only itself..."
"And he has a very long lifespan, living to this day."
As Xu Lianhua spoke, she was also thinking.
“My grandfather died before the apocalypse game happened, so he said it was impossible…”
"Because insects generally don't live that long."
"But after experiencing the doomsday game, I feel that it's not impossible."
As she spoke, she was clearly lost in thought.
When she came to her senses, she looked up at Jiang Yi again.
Jiang Yi sat on the cube, this time towering over her.
She tilted her head back and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
"Have you ever come into contact with that kind of insect?"
Jiang Yi seemed to be lost in thought as well, and did not answer.
After a moment, he lowered his eyes and asked again:
"You've studied *Gymnocystis suis*, what are your thoughts on it?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lianhua's pupils visibly dilated.
