In Su Yuan’s line of sight, an additional Vicious Beast’s information appeared on Huangfu Shiyao’s Beast Taming Talent information.
“A Soul-Devouring Gu Worm! This is a Lord-level Six-stage Vicious Beast!”
“And it’s a Mental-type Vicious Beast!”
Looking at the information of this Vicious Beast, a faint blue light flashed deep in Su Yuan’s eyes, and his gaze turned towards Huangfu Shiyao’s head.
Under the Heavenly Revelation Divine Eye’s Talent, Su Yuan’s gaze at this moment actually penetrated Huangfu Shiyao’s head, looking towards his brain.
Gradually, a worm the size of a baby’s fist, shaped like an octopus, appeared in Su Yuan’s vision.
However, this worm currently had no physical form; instead, it was more like a ghost, attached to Huangfu Shiyao’s brain, formless and invisible.
If Su Yuan hadn’t possessed the Heavenly Revelation Divine Eye, even if this Soul-Devouring Gu Worm appeared before him, he would absolutely not have been able to detect its existence.
“Could it be that the culprit behind Huangfu Shiyao’s unconsciousness is this Soul-Devouring Gu Worm?”
“It’s just that this Soul-Devouring Gu Worm is in a contracted state; it doesn’t seem to be a Vicious Beast, but rather a Beast.”
“If it’s a Beast, then who exactly attacked Huangfu Shiyao?”
“Could it be the same as the Blood Crows, all scumbags from the Demon God Church?”
Looking at the Soul-Devouring Gu Worm’s information, Su Yuan immediately had a guess in his mind.
“This thing is currently in a soul body state; ordinary people can’t detect it.”
“And when Instructor Song used his Mental Energy to investigate just now, his Mental Energy also mysteriously disappeared, likely swallowed by this Soul-Devouring Gu Worm.”
“Not only that, rash action would instead provoke this Soul-Devouring Gu Worm into a rampage, very possibly causing the critically ill Huangfu Shiyao to die completely.”
“If Instructor Song were to rashly use his Mental Energy to investigate Huangfu Shiyao’s brain again, I’m afraid the result would be the same as his previous full-body scan, nothing would change.”
“How can I both deal with this Soul-Devouring Gu Worm and ensure Huangfu Shiyao’s safety?”
Su Yuan realized that Huangfu Shiyao’s injuries were not due to a Vicious Beast attack, but rather someone intentionally caused them, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
“Su Yuan, have you found anything?”
Just as Su Yuan was deep in thought, ahead, Song Zhenfeng also noticed that Su Yuan’s gaze had been fixed on Huangfu Shiyao, and he had a thoughtful expression on his face.
This behavior made Song Zhenfeng a bit curious, and he couldn’t help but ask.
Although Su Yuan was only an Extraordinary-level Beast Tamer, his strength was worlds apart from a King-level Beast Tamer like him.
But when Song Zhenfeng saw Su Yuan’s composure, he inexplicably felt that Su Yuan had discovered something.
This feeling was very strange, and Song Zhenfeng couldn’t quite explain what was going on, only able to attribute it to his intuition.
“Why does Instructor Song ask this?”
“Even a King-level Beast Tamer like Instructor Song is helpless, so how could a Junior possibly see anything?”
“What’s with this kid’s demeanor? He’s not putting on an act, is he?”
Song Zhenfeng’s sudden question caused Huangfu Shiba and the other high-ranking members of the Huangfu Family to show surprised expressions, following Su Yuan and Song Zhenfeng’s arrival at the entrance of the Huangfu Family manor.
Everyone’s gaze fell on Su Yuan for the second time.
However, none of them believed that Su Yuan could discover anything.
Even if Su Yuan could be admitted to the Nine Provinces Academy early and possessed extraordinary Talent, it was merely Talent.
Currently, Su Yuan was, at most, an Extraordinary-level Beast Tamer, absolutely impossible to be as knowledgeable as Song Zhenfeng, a King-level Beast Tamer.
Even Huangfu Shiba, an Expert who had always thought highly of Su Yuan, shared this opinion.
However, just as they were thinking this, Su Yuan spoke up and gave them an unexpected answer.
“Instructor Song, Junior has indeed made a discovery.”
“I once read a record of rare Vicious Beasts in the Tianyang No. 1 High School library.”
“In that book, I saw a record of someone who had been attacked by a very rare Vicious Beast in a latent state.”
“Just now, I watched Instructor Song examine Patriarch Huangfu’s condition and felt that a portion of Instructor Song’s Mental Energy seemed to mysteriously disappear after landing on Patriarch Huangfu.”
“Coupled with Instructor Song’s subsequent increased mental probing, and Patriarch Huangfu’s later reactions, it was also very similar to what was recorded in the book I read at the time.”
“Therefore, I was wondering if Patriarch Huangfu’s current state might be the same as the situation described in the book, both suffering from the attack of the same Vicious Beast, leading to his current condition.”
“Oh, by the way, Instructor Song, I saw that the rare Vicious Beast recorded in that book was a Mental-type insect Vicious Beast, named ‘Soul-Devouring Gu Worm’.”
Upon hearing Su Yuan’s answer, the high-ranking members of the Huangfu Family all looked at each other.
Even Huangfu Shiba had a bewildered expression.
Neither Huangfu Shiba nor the other high-ranking members of the Huangfu Family had ever heard of a Vicious Beast called ‘Soul-Devouring Gu Worm’.
“It’s actually a Soul-Devouring Gu Worm!”
“So that’s it! So that’s it!”
“If that’s true, then everything makes sense!”
“No wonder my Mental Energy was silently swallowed!”
“Su Yuan, I never thought you’d be so experienced at such a young age!”
“It truly makes this old man ashamed, hahahaha!”
However, unlike the reaction of Huangfu Shiba and the others, Su Yuan’s answer only made Song Zhenfeng ponder for a moment before he excitedly clapped his hands and burst out laughing.
In his words, he did not hesitate to praise Su Yuan.
Song Zhenfeng’s reaction, in turn, caused the initially disdainful Experts of the Huangfu Family to tremble, their eyes widening as they looked at Su Yuan, then at the excitedly clapping and cheering Song Zhenfeng.
Their gazes lingered between the two.
Only at this moment did Huangfu Shiba and the others realize that they had all underestimated this Junior, Su Yuan.
They had never even heard of a Vicious Beast like the Soul-Devouring Gu Worm, yet Su Yuan was able to state his discovery through his previous observations.
This made these elders, who were several rounds older than Su Yuan and much stronger than him, feel deeply ashamed.
“Cough, cough, cough, Instructor Song is too kind; Junior’s experience can hardly be compared to Instructor Song’s.”
“I just happen to enjoy reading, especially records of rare and uncommon Beasts.”
“Today, discovering that Patriarch Huangfu’s condition happened to match the record of the Soul-Devouring Gu Worm I once saw, was all due to luck.”
“Junior only hopes that my discovery can be of some help to Instructor Song in treating Patriarch Huangfu.”
Facing everyone’s surprised gazes and Song Zhenfeng’s unreserved praise, Su Yuan lightly coughed a few times and spoke modestly.
He did not reveal the true reason he knew about Huangfu Shiyao’s current condition, but instead casually found an excuse to gloss over it.
However, Su Yuan’s lie was delivered with such emotion that no one could see any abnormality on his face; he spoke as if it were true.
Therefore, no one doubted the truth of what Su Yuan had just said.
In fact, everyone was more willing to believe that Su Yuan’s discovery was due to luck, truly a case of a blind cat finding a dead mouse.
If Su Yuan had genuinely discerned Huangfu Shiyao’s current condition was related to the Soul-Devouring Gu Worm through his own abilities, that would be truly terrifying.
“It’s helpful, of course it’s helpful.”
“With the information you’ve provided, this old man now has a plan.”
“Don’t worry, now that this old man knows of the Soul-Devouring Gu Worm’s existence, I have a targeted solution.”
“Even if this Soul-Devouring Gu Worm reached the King-level, this old man could still eliminate it, let alone that fellow being Lord-level!”
Song Zhenfeng said with a smile after hearing Su Yuan’s words, his face full of confidence.
Hearing him say this, Su Yuan also felt relieved.
The Soul-Devouring Gu Worm lurking in Huangfu Shiyao’s brain was only a Lord-level Six-stage Beast, far from King-level.
Song Zhenfeng would definitely deal with that fellow with ease.
