Chapter 781: Gu Pool
The calabash vine was very strange. Its roots and leaves were the color of limestone—the color of rocks. It didn't look like a living creature, and more like something carved from stone.
Above the calabash vine that was twenty to thirty meters long, there was a total of one calabash. It was also grayish-green in color.
"Is that a plant-type dimensional creature?" Zhou Wen asked.
Li Mobai shook his head and said, "I'm not sure yet. It looks like a plant, but it might be able to spew out a Gu King from inside the calabash. I can't be sure if it's a plant or an animal."
Li Mobai explained his understanding of the calabash vine in detail so that everyone could be prepared.
Back when Li Mobai accidentally entered this cave when chasing a Gu King, the Gu King had been sucked into the calabash just as he was about to catch up to it.
Li Mobai felt that something was amiss with the calabash vine, so he didn't rush over. Instead, he used a Companion Beast to make probes. However, just as the Companion Beast rushed over, the Gu King that had entered the calabash crawled out again.
The Gu King was the king of bloodsucking Gu. It was at the Epic stage. If Li Mobai wanted to advance to the Evil King Gu Life Soul, he needed to hunt such a Gu King.
Back then, Li Mobai had the Evil King Gu Life Soul. It could be said that other than Mythical Gu, he was invulnerable to all Gu. It wasn't difficult to deal with a Bloodsucking Gu King.
However, to his surprise, after the Bloodsucking Gu King came out of the calabash, it became extremely ferocious. Its strength underwent a drastic change, as though it had advanced to the Mythical stage, and killed Li Mobai's Companion Beast easily. If Li Mobai hadn't fled quickly when he saw that the situation wasn't looking good, he would have died.
Later, Li Mobai came a few more times, but he returned empty-handed. He was no match for the Bloodsucking Gu King.
Li Mobai suspected that the calabash vine was odd. He wanted to remove it and think of a way to lure the Bloodsucking Gu King away before getting a fire-elemental Companion Beast to burn the calabash vine.
However, to his surprise, before the fire-elemental Companion Beast could approach the calabash vine, a Gu King crawled out of the calabash again and killed Li Mobai's fire-elemental Companion Beast.
Later, Li Mobai tried many methods, but they were all useless. Even when his Evil King Gu Life Soul reached the Perfect Body, he still failed to deal with the calabash vine.
After John used the six-winged seraphim to fight Zhou Wen, Li Mobai carried out a lot of investigations and learned about Guardians. Only then did he realize that the truly precious thing wasn't the calabash vine, but the gray cocoon it protected.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the ability to deal with the calabash vine. Even though he knew that there was a Guardian there, he couldn't contract it. All he could do was cooperate with Zhou Wen.
After hearing Li Mobai's explanation, Gu Shanshui was alarmed. "You mean that there's a Mythical Gu in that calabash, and it's not just one?"
"That's what I think." Li Mobai looked at Zhou Wen and said, "Do you want me to use my Companion Beast to lure out the Gu King inside?"

"Alright." Zhou Wen nodded and summoned Doctor Darkness to fuse with him in his soul form.
