Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1069: Chapter 261: The Poison Sect and the Gu God

Has the Five Poison Sect gone mad? Are they going to wage war against all the sects in the world?

Chen Jie frowned, puzzled, wondering why the Five Poison Sect would act this way.

Thinking this, Chen Jie directly went up to the protector of the Five Poison Sect and reached out to search the protector’s body.

Killing and looting is Chen Jie’s long-standing good habit.

But just as Chen Jie’s hand was about to grab the protector of the Five Poison Sect, suddenly there was a loud smack, and a bug bit through the protector’s skin and crawled out.

Chen Jie was startled.

But at that moment, countless bugs suddenly crawled out of the protector’s body.

Swish, swish, swish...

In an instant, these bugs devoured the protector’s flesh, leaving behind only a pile of white bones with dark blood.

Only then did Chen Jie see clearly that these bugs were actually a group of plump, white maggot-like creatures.

They had some wrinkled patterns on them, looking a bit like a human brain, indeed, they were brain worms!

Yes, brain worms. The protector of the Five Poison Sect was going to make him eat this brain worm Gu.

These Gu worms can control people, and if the consumer dies, the brain worms rapidly lay eggs, hatch, and eventually devour a person completely, leaving no trace.

Preventing the enemy from obtaining any useful information.

Chen Jie watched this horrifying scene and couldn’t help but admit that these Gu worms were quite terrifying.

With that in mind, Chen Jie stood up, gazed at the pile of blood-stained bones on the ground, and sighed, figuring there was nothing useful left.

As he thought this, Chen Jie suddenly noticed a small box lying not far away.

Chen Jie walked over, picked it up, and saw that it contained a white pill with a honey scent.

Chen Jie remembered this was the brain worm Gu that the elder of the Five Poison Sect tried to force him to swallow.

During the fight earlier, it fell out, and Chen Jie picked up the brain worm Gu, examined it, and felt there was nothing special about it. It was just a black pill with a honey aroma and some other peculiar scent he couldn’t quite identify.

But Chen Jie knew that this thing was definitely highly toxic, recalling the protector elder of the Five Poison Sect made Chen Jie’s scalp tingle.

Witnessing that scene of countless bugs devouring a person was truly a sensory overload, and even a well-traveled man like Chen Jie felt a slight discomfort in his stomach.

Chen Jie put the brain worm Gu away, thinking it might be useful in the future.

At this point, Chen Jie turned around and headed back, quickly returning to the inn.

By then, Xiao Hu had seized control of the inn, which was strewn with corpses, while several Miao Thieves’ leaders were kneeling not far away.

Those few guests were all sprawled on the floor, unable to move, as they hadn’t been detoxified yet.

Seeing Chen Jie return, Xiao Hu immediately approached and asked, ”Fourth Brother, you’re back, are you alright?”

He was inquiring about Chen Jie’s injuries.

Chen Jie replied: ”I’m fine.”

”What about that old man?”

Xiao Hu looked toward the back of the door and inquired, Chen Jie replied: ”Dead.”

Xiao Hu asked no more questions, and Chen Jie then asked Xiao Hu: ”Have they all been subdued?”

Xiao Hu replied: ”They’ve all been subdued.”

Chen Jie said: ”Bring their leaders over here.”

”Yes.”

Chen Jie moved a stool and sat down. A moment later, Xiao Hu and the others brought over six people.

They were the top three leaders of the Miao bandits, the shopkeeper of this inn, a short and fat man, and two waiters.

At this time, Yu Chun, holding a long sword, escorted them over.

”Kneel!”

Yu Chun and Chen Xiaohu kicked a few of them to the ground.

Chen Jie looked at them and said: ”Are you all members of the Five Poison Sect?”

Upon hearing this, they remained silent. Chen Jie continued: ”The so-called elder earlier has been killed by me, so I will now ask you questions. If you answer, you can live. If no one answers, one of you will be killed.”

With that, Chen Jie looked at the six people and said: ”You didn’t answer my question just now.”

”Ah!”

At these words, Chen Xiaohu immediately stabbed one of the waiters to death.

The scene instantly frightened the others, causing them to tremble. This guy is truly unpredictable!

Contemplating this, Chen Jie looked at them and said: ”Alright, I’ll ask again, are you members of the Five Poison Sect!”

”Yes, yes!”

The shopkeeper immediately shouted upon hearing this.

The waiter was killed right in front of him, splattering blood all over him, fright overtaking him.

”Yes, yes, we are all from the Five Poison Sect.”

Seeing this, Chen Jie chuckled: ”Oh, very good, second question, why does your Five Poison Sect poison so many passing Jianghu people here?”

Upon hearing this, they fell silent.

Chen Jie glanced at Xiao Hu, who understood and placed the knife on the shopkeeper’s throat.

”Ah, hero, don’t kill me, don’t kill me, I’ll talk, I’ll talk.”

Chen Jie listened, looking at him, and said: ”Go on.”

”If I tell you, can I save my life?”

The shopkeeper looked at Chen Jie, who said to him: ”That depends on whether your information is valuable or not.”

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately said: ”Yes, yes, the Holy Sect captures Jianghu people for two reasons.”

”First, it seems the Holy Sect has obtained some treasure, and you seem to be here for the treasure, so we need to kill you to protect it.”

”Second, the blood energy of you Jianghu people is strong, and the Holy Sect wants to use your heart blood to awaken the dormant Gu God, leading us Miao people to reclaim Xiang Land and drive you Han people out.”

The shopkeeper blurted out all he knew, and Chen Jie was stunned, then looked at the fat man: ”Gu God, treasure?”

”What treasure?”

”We don’t know, it seems to have been brought by the Heavenly Fire some days ago.”

”Oh, where is the treasure now?”

”In the main altar of the Holy Sect, Wangu Village!”

”Wangu Village?”

Chen Jie murmured, then looked at the fat man and said: ”What is the Gu God?”

”This, this little one does not, know this!”
