Chapter 97

Looking at Zhou Lu's dazed appearance, the middle-aged man behind him clearly showed an extremely curious look in his eyes.

This disheveled and wimpy fat man is the brave hero that Xiaoluan boasted about so much?

Is this the young hunter hero who made Xiaoluan, the distinguished young master, invest so much effort, and whom she urgently sought from afar to help?

Xiaoluan's bright and clear face showed a hint of fatigue. She turned around, grabbed the sleeve of the middle-aged man behind her, pulled him to her side, and introduced him to Zhou Lu with a forced smile:

"Brother, those Eagle Guards are the helpers Grandfather found for you, and this is the helper I found for you. I hope he can help you this time when you enter the wilderness..."

"Who is he? Can he help me?"

Zhou Lu came to his senses, put the piece of meat entirely in his mouth, chewed it, and wiped the grease from his mouth with his hand, his eyes vigilantly staring at Xiaoluan's hand holding the man's sleeve.

The middle-aged man had a mocking smile at the corner of his eyes.

How could the bright and fragrant Xiaoluan actually become sworn siblings with such a disheveled fat man? What charm does this fat man have?

The middle-aged man was extremely curious. He looked at Zhou Lu provocatively, reached out his hand, and lightly patted Xiaoluan's shoulder, speaking in a hoarse voice, "Is this your sworn brother?" The man put his hand down and casually held Xiaoluan's wrist, standing there with their hands intertwined.

This intimate attitude made Zhou Lu's eyes suddenly widen.

Xiaoluan did not resist, but turned her head and smiled slightly at the middle-aged man, then turned back to Zhou Lu, introducing him with a hint of pride:

"Brother, don't be impolite, this is the successor of the Yaugu Clan..."

"What?"

With a rustling sound, E'ertu and his group jumped up in shock, chairs falling to the ground. E'ertu and the others took a few steps back, their faces showing shock as they looked at the middle-aged man.

They never expected that the man who quietly followed Xiaoluan into the tent was actually the successor of the Yaugu Clan, who is even more mysterious and terrifying than demons in the wilderness.

In the wilderness, there are countless legends about the Yaugu Clan. It is said that the true successors of the Yaugu Clan have unimaginable skills in planting gu (poisonous insects). Sometimes, they can casually pick a few herbs and add some toxins to create a gu, which can control their opponents to the point where they cannot live or die.

Those who are infected by their gu may go mad, die, bleed from the seven orifices, or suffer unbearable pain... Only those who possess the head gu can cure them. Those controlled by the gu will, to avoid the torment of hell, ultimately submit to the orders of the gu master.

Of course, there are many techniques on the plateau that can counteract the gu, but who knows if they can resist the gu poison without trying it themselves.

When people on the plateau hear the word "gu master," they all change color in fear.

Zhou Lu's face also changed. He had never heard Xiaoluan mention that she had such a terrifying male friend. Zhou Lu's eyes tightly followed the intertwined hands, his breathing becoming heavy, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Gu master? How can he help me?"

The middle-aged man's eyes showed a provocative smile, and he said proudly, "Help you? That depends on whether you have the courage to accept my help?"

Xiaoluan scolded him with a smile, "Alright, stop scaring people. Do you think I don't know you're capable?" The man smiled slightly and said no more. He seemed to be quite at ease with Xiaoluan's mild anger, which made Zhou Lu feel even more uncomfortable.

Xiaoluan turned to Zhou Lu and explained:

"Brother, it's like this. This gu master is someone I managed to invite from the Yaugu Clan through personal connections. He has an incredible skill in controlling gu. I thought, if he plants a head gu in your body and teaches you a simple gu control technique, when you enter the wilderness and capture the target bandits, you can use the gu control technique to control their lives and deaths. Wouldn't it be easier to establish your network of informants?"

Zhou Lu was stunned, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

The middle-aged man had a proud expression, his lips slightly curled, and he nodded lightly, saying, "The process of planting the head gu is painful, but once you fully absorb it, you can also control the child gu."

"Then, I will give you some child gu pills. In the future, when you enter the wilderness, you can feed these pills to others, and you can use the gu control technique to control their lives and deaths, making them willingly obey your orders. This is a secret technique of the Yaugu Clan. If it weren't for Xiaoluan, I..."

"Really?"

"If you can learn to control the gu, after entering the wilderness, you can capture a few important figures from the bandits and plant the gu in them. Wouldn't establishing your network of informants be much more effective?"

Zhou Lu was overjoyed. He looked up and down at the middle-aged man, no longer doubting. With a burst of excitement, he took a quick step forward, as fast as a sharp, fat lightning bolt, and before the man could react, he grabbed the man's chest with both hands, asking excitedly, "Really? Is everything you said true..."

In an instant, Xiaoluan, the middle-aged man, and Zhou Lu were all stunned.

Xiaoluan's face turned bright red, and she shouted, "Don't..."

The middle-aged man let out a shrill scream.

Zhou Lu was dumbfounded. He felt his hands, through the wide robe, grasp two large, soft, and surprisingly elastic objects. Zhou Lu, still disbelieving, squeezed them again, the incredible elasticity making his hands tingle.

Amidst the shrill screams, Zhou Lu stood there with his mouth wide open, as if stunned by the unbelievable scene, and quickly let go and took a step back.

The middle-aged man was furious, stepping back two steps and tearing off the human skin mask on his face. Behind the mask was a delicate and beautiful face, revealing a young female hunter as radiant as Xiaoluan.

At that moment, the wide robe made her look even more spirited.

But at this moment, the girl was so angry that her chest heaved up and down, and she looked at Zhou Lu as if she wanted to eat him.

Such a dramatic change left E'ertu and the others behind dumbfounded, their eyes all fixed on Zhou Lu's two "magic" hands.

The successor of the Yaugu Clan has always been mysterious and rarely appears in public. No one expected that she would appear this time and still not show her true face, a charming female hunter disguised as a middle-aged man. Her perfect imitation of a hoarse male voice almost deceived everyone in the tent.

But in the end, it only benefited that damned fat man.

Zhou Lu looked aggrieved, as if he had suffered a great loss, and accused the man, "You didn't tell me you were a woman. You didn't tell me you were a woman. I just thought this old man was so effeminate..."

Zhou Lu was so angry that he huffed, thinking that Xiaoluan was playing with him and teasing him, but he had seen through it.

The girl was almost in tears.

She turned her head angrily to look at Xiaoluan, her eyes full of blame, as if asking, "Is this the crude and despicable person you called a hero of the plateau? Is this the great hero in your heart?"

In the angry confrontation between Zhou Lu and the female hunter, Xiaoluan stood in the middle, looking left and right with a scolding expression. She never expected things to develop this way, and she was completely flustered.
