Chapter 276 Establishing a Relationship with Gu
"At the same time, this is also a good opportunity to establish contact with the Gu Weng tribe."
The plane continued its journey, and ten hours later, it finally arrived at a secluded canyon deep in the Andes Mountains of South America.
From a distance, an ancient tribe can be seen nestled in the canyon, with conical houses built from special stone and wood.
In the center of the village is a huge stone platform, on which dozens of pottery jars of various shapes are placed.
This is the "Gu Jar," a sacred object of the Gu Jar tribe, used to cultivate various Gu insects.
The helicopter slowly landed at the entrance to the canyon, where a group of tribal warriors dressed in traditional clothing were already waiting.
The leader was a tall, resolute-looking middle-aged man with golden Gu patterns etched on his forehead.
Jiang Mo led everyone off the plane and headed towards the Gu Jar Golden Eye.
When the two sides were less than ten meters apart, Gu Weng·Golden Eyes suddenly knelt on one knee, and the other warriors followed suit: "Welcome, Lord Gu God!"
Jiang Mo stepped forward and gestured for him to rise: "Chief Golden Eyes, please rise. No need for such formalities."
"You flatter me, sir," Gu Weng·Golden Eyes respectfully rose, "To witness the reincarnation of the Gu God in my lifetime is the greatest honor of my life."
Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "Thank you for promptly handling the anomaly at the South American sealing point, which bought me precious recovery time."
Gu Weng·Golden Eyes shook his head: "This is what we should do. The Gu Weng tribe has worshipped the Gu God for generations."
"It is our duty to fight against the evil of the Heavenly Gu Sect."
"Please come with me, I'll take you to see the remnants of the Black Serpent Cult."
Jiang Mo nodded and followed the others into the tribe with the Gu Weng·Golden Eye.
Walking along the main road of the tribe, the tribespeople on both sides knelt down to pay their respects, their eyes filled with reverence for Jiang Mo.
Before long, a prison made of huge stones came into view.
Through the thick wooden fence, one could see more than twenty people dressed in black robes being imprisoned inside; they were remnants of the Black Serpent Cult.
"Is it that they're trying to activate the residual energy at the seal point?" Jiang Mo asked.
Gu Weng·Golden Eyes nodded: "Yes, these people claim to be 'bloodline guardians' of the Black Serpent Cult."
"It is said that they are acting on the orders of the Black Serpent Cult Leader to conduct some kind of 'resonance ceremony' in various places on the day the seven stars align."
Jiang Mo's eyes flashed with golden light as he carefully observed the black-robed figures: "I can't sense any dark bloodline within them; they should just be ordinary cultists."
"But..." Jiang Mo's gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked at a small wooden box in the corner. "What's in that box?"
Gu Weng Jin Yan's expression was grave: "Those are things we seized from them."
"It is said to be the 'Black Serpent Core,' a peculiar substance capable of resonating with dark bloodlines."
"We were concerned it might be dangerous, so we sealed it in a special box and are preparing to handle it upon your arrival."
"That's right," Jiang Mo nodded. "Take me to see that sealing point."
Gu Weng Jin Yan nodded and led the group through the tribe to a cave deep in the canyon.
The cave entrance was sealed off by a pale blue light curtain, a temporary seal set up by the company's special forces.
"The seal hasn't been broken, very good." Jiang Mo nodded in satisfaction.
He stepped forward, his palm shimmering with golden light, and gently touched the light screen.
As if receiving some kind of command, the light curtain slowly opened a passage.
"Feng Baobao, Chen Duo, and Wei Duoduo went in with me; the others waited outside."
After giving the order, Jiang Mo led the three women into the cave.
The cave is spacious inside, with a circular pool about five meters in diameter in the center.
The water was as black as ink, with strange ripples appearing from time to time.
The pool was surrounded by intricate runes, which were the sealing formations set up by the company.
Jiang Mo carefully examined the pool, his golden eyes gleaming with wisdom: "A spatial rift once appeared here."
"Although it has been shut down, the remaining energy is still trying to communicate with the outside world."
"These remnants of the Black Serpent Cult came here with the Black Serpent Core, hoping to reactivate the rift through resonance."
"Fortunately, they lacked the crucial dark bloodline; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Chen Duo approached the pool to observe: "This pool seems more active than the other sealed locations we've seen before. Why is that?"
Jiang Mo pondered for a moment: "Perhaps because South America's geographical location has some special connection with the Heavenly Gu Domain, the Heavenly Gu Sect Master once operated here."
"I need to reinforce the seal here."
Jiang Mo formed hand seals, and golden runes flowed from his palms, slowly pouring into the sealing formation around the pool.
"The Golden Gu's divine power seals eternally!"
A brilliant golden light shone forth, and the originally pale blue runes gradually turned gold, while the sealing aura became even more stable.
"Alright, this seal should last at least a hundred years." Jiang Mo withdrew his hand and nodded in satisfaction.
Just as they were about to leave the cave, a slight noise caught Jiang Mo's attention.
He turned around abruptly, his golden eyes shooting towards the pool, where the surface of the water suddenly began to churn violently!
"Watch out!" Jiang Mo shouted, shielding the three women behind him.
Suddenly, a dark figure emerged from the center of the pool, darting out like a small snake and heading straight for Jiang Mo!
Jiang Mo reacted swiftly, striking out with a palm that radiated golden light!
&34;Snap!&34;
The dark figure was struck by the golden light, letting out a sharp screech before crashing to the ground, revealing its true form—
It was a small, jet-black snake, about twenty centimeters long, with blood-red eyes, which looked extremely eerie.
"This is..." Feng Baobao looked at the little snake on the ground in surprise.
A hint of seriousness flashed in Jiang Mo's eyes: "It's the 'consciousness clone' of the Heavenly Gu Sect Master."
"He left something like this at each sealing point as a backup plan."
The little black snake struggled to escape, but Jiang Mo grabbed it.
"Trying to escape? Not so easy!"
A flash of golden light appeared in Jiang Mo's palm, directly enveloping the little black snake.
&34;嗤——&34;
With a soft sound, the little black snake was completely purified by the golden light, turning into a wisp of black smoke and disappearing without a trace.
"Jiang Mo, are you alright?" Feng Baobao asked with concern.
Jiang Mo shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just..."
His gaze fell on the spot where the little black snake had disappeared, and he seemed to be deep in thought: "The Heavenly Gu Sect Master's methods are far more numerous than I imagined."
"There are probably more than one such consciousness clone."
"Similar threats may exist at other sealing points, and we must notify the company as soon as possible to strengthen the defenses of all sealing points."
Wei Duoduo nodded: "I'll contact the company immediately!"
The four left the cave and explained the situation in detail to Gu Weng Jin Yan.
Gu Weng·Golden Eyes frowned: "It seems the Heavenly Gu Sect Master is far more cunning than we imagined."
"But rest assured, the Gu Weng tribe will do everything in its power to assist you in protecting this sealed site."
Jiang Mo nodded slightly: "Thank you. Next, we still need to deal with that 'Black Serpent Core'."
"It is one of the mediums through which the Heavenly Gu Sect Master communicates with this world; it must be completely purified."
