"Ah Lang, you're going to learn how to raise Gu worms? Aren't you afraid of the pain?" Dika frowned, squeezed a small groove next to her nose, and looked at Lin Yao with a pained expression, but her eyes also showed sympathy.
A few days ago, Dika brought a poisonous insect that he planned to cultivate as a Gu worm. The hairy, blue insect looked quite beautiful. Lin Yao accidentally touched it and immediately swelled up for a whole day. This was only after Dika immediately found medicine to apply and wash it, and used his medical true energy to continuously expel the poison.
According to Dika, this creature is called "Azure Sky." If someone is unprepared and gets stung, they will almost certainly die. Only if medicine is applied in time can they be saved, but it will still take at least ten days to recover.
When Dika saw that Lin Yao had recovered to normal in just one day, he was extremely surprised. However, he never dared to let Lin Yao play with the poisonous insects again. At most, he would show them to him from a distance and not let Lin Yao get even a meter away. Otherwise, he would never bring them again.
The Miao people have three major skills: witchcraft, talismans, and poison.
Miao witchcraft includes witchcraft that utilizes pure abilities and witchcraft that uses Miao medicine to produce effects. Lin Yao knows nothing about the former, only glimpsing that there is residual witchcraft power in Kouka's body. Lin Yao has a basic understanding of the latter, and the techniques he has learned from Le during this period all belong to witchcraft.
The talisman was very mysterious; Lin Yao had never seen one before.
Therefore, Lin Yao was very enthusiastic about learning another powerful skill, Gu Technique, from Dika MM. Although Xiaocao had not yet emerged from seclusion, he thought that the Gu worms would be of great help to her. At least when she was weak before, she survived because she absorbed "energy" from the Gu worms.
You must learn the art of Gu poison no matter what!
Lin Yao made up his mind. Besides, he now had a wonderful teacher with the best temper who was willing to teach him everything she knew. Dika was just too cute!
"Ah Lang isn't afraid of pain, Dika will continue to teach Ah Lang the art of raising Gu." Lin Yao patted his chest and assured him, looking like a great hero.
"Ah Lang, you can't call yourself Ah Lang anymore, that's something only other people can call you." Dika covered her mouth and giggled, her arched eyebrows pressing her bright eyes into slits, making her a pleasing sight.
Lin Yao chuckled; he always confused the Miao people's names.
"By the way, Dika, why have I never seen you raise Gu with blood? Do you always raise them at home? I'd like to see."
Lin Yao suddenly remembered that Dika only verbally taught him the method of raising Gu with blood, explaining the techniques to pay attention to during the operation, but never demonstrated it to him. However, she would demonstrate the operation before raising Gu with blood in detail, so that Lin Yao could learn from her experience very intuitively.
However, from the blood-dripping stage to the collection of the Gu, Dika never performed any operations himself, but only explained them to Lin Yao, providing detailed explanations no matter how many questions Lin Yao raised.
"Ah~~" Dika's expression changed instantly. She slowly lowered the hand that was covering her mouth, and the desolation in her expression was heartbreaking.
What's wrong? Did I ask the wrong question? Is the process of raising Gu with blood very private? Lin Yao wondered. He thought that maybe it was very painful, which was why the girl was shy and didn't dare to demonstrate it in front of him, lest she scream in pain and embarrass herself.
“I… I can’t raise Gu…” Dika’s head slowly drooped, tears glistening in her eyes. For the first time, a sense of sadness appeared in this girl who had never known a carefree life.
Lin Yao's heart skipped a beat, as if something had plucked a string in his heart. Sadness can be contagious, and at this moment, he also felt a faint pain in his heart.
The atmosphere in the room became heavy, and neither of them spoke.
Lin Yao sat there blankly, doing nothing. Dika stood there blankly, her little hands clutching the hem of her clothes, her fingers fiddling with the azalea embroidered there.
"You..." After a long silence, Lin Yao broke it. "Dika, what happened? Tell Alang and see if he can help you."
Lin Yao suddenly realized that Xiao Cao should have some knowledge of Gu techniques, and even if she hadn't, she could still have the relevant abilities to help Dika.
Last time, the little grass could "eat" the Gu worms, and even pull the Gu worms directly into its own body. Since it can eat them, it can naturally control them, and can even help the Gu worms, which is called feeding back.
Lin Yao naturally assumed that Xiao Cao possessed this ability. He really didn't want this pure-hearted, kind-hearted, and beautiful girl in front of him to be sad. Just looking at the tears in her eyes had already moved Lin Yao.
"Even if they are enemies, we have to help Dika." Lin Yao made his decision.
The ultimate purpose of the gold card is still unclear, and Lin Yao dares not easily test the other party's bottom line, especially against a cunning old fox. It is never too much to be mentally prepared.
"Ah Lang, I'm alright, don't worry." Dika raised her head, revealing a smile, tears welling up in her eyes and sliding down her nose, landing on the white orchid on her chest, leaving a mark.
Dika moved a wooden chair over and sat down next to Lin Yao. She picked up the steel needle on the embroidery hoop and began to embroider. "I don't know why, maybe it's because the great god Chi You doesn't like me. I've never been able to raise Gu since I was a child."
The crisp voice lowered its tone, becoming a gentle whisper: "All protozoa die upon contact with Di's blood, except for the love worms."
“Alang and Aya are very good to Di. They always bring back all kinds of protozoa for Di. I raise all these protozoa, but in the end, they are either given away or die of old age. After trying all the protozoa I could find, Di no longer has any hope of raising Gu. It's fine to just live like this.”
"Love insects?" Lin Yao said softly, "Are they the kind of protozoa used to cultivate love insects?"
"Mmm." Dika nodded, her face turning bright red, the blush spreading all the way to her ears. Her pointed chin rested on her chest; she dared not look up at Lin Yao, this topic was too embarrassing for her.
"Fortunately, at least we have a Gu worm, and it's a very important one for the Miao girl." Lin Yao thought to himself, letting out a barely perceptible sigh.
This world is truly cruel; beauty is often envied by heaven...
Suddenly, a figure rushed in, breaking the silence and monotony of the room.
Nika burst through the door, shouting as she ran, "Mr. Lin, quick! Quick! Leka wants you to come right away, something's happened to Kouka!"

When Lin Yao followed Nika over, a large crowd had already gathered—the Daika tribe.
Lin Yao had never met most of these people before, but he could sense that they were all very fierce, and even the children who were around ten years old were quite strong in terms of martial arts.
Kouka was placed in a wooden house next to the cave where the clan chief Jinka lived. The wooden house was quite large and located at the innermost part of the valley. In front of the house was a spacious flat area, a small square paved with neat square stones, covering an area of about four or five hundred square meters.
This is a religious site! Lin Yao immediately came to the conclusion, thinking to himself that he hadn't noticed this wooden house when he came here before; he hadn't been paying enough attention.
Following behind Nika and Lin Yao was Dika. The little girl couldn't run fast, and Lin Yao didn't care about her because he was being pulled along by Nika. If he didn't have his own skills, an ordinary person being pulled along like this would only have one result: being dragged along the ground at high speed, like the row of plastic brooms at the bottom of a sweeper.
Lin Yao also noticed two young men from the Daika family following behind him. They were his guards, or perhaps two of them. However, he had never had any direct contact with them before, and Lin Yao didn't have a good impression of them.
