After all, this was an open place, and wild beasts could show up at any time.
Mo Jiuye scanned around and saw a small cave entrance.
"Sixth elder brother, let’s carry them in."
Not only Big Brother and Second Brother, but also the unconscious Third Older Brother and Liang Hao’s group needed to be carried in.
Only by ensuring their safety could Mo Jiuye feel at ease to remove the Gu worms from his two elder brothers.
In front of the cave, there was no moss or weeds on the ground, which clearly showed that people came in and out frequently.
Inside the cave, two bluestone slabs the size of single beds had been polished so smooth without any edges or corners.
Moreover, Big Brother and Second Brother had just rushed towards them from this direction. It could be inferred that this was where the two elder brothers had lived for many years.
Needless to say, the simplicity was evident. The bare stone slabs had no beddings. There were no spare clothes inside the cave either.
This could be determined from the tattered clothes on Big Brother and Second Brother.
There were white beast bones scattered all over the ground in the cave, placed very messy, obviously no one had cleaned them up.
From these details, one could see what kind of inhuman life Big Brother and Second Brother had led for so many years.
There was no time to think too much. Mo Jiuye asked Sixth Elder Brother to carry Big Brother and Second Brother onto the two stone slabs separately.
He was in no hurry to remove the Gu worms for his two elder brothers. After all, his wife would use those advanced instruments in her space to test and determine the position before performing surgery to remove the Gu worms.
The biggest advantage of doing this was that it could accurately locate the Gu worms and prevent any deviations during surgery.
But now there were no such conditions.
Although Mo Jiuye could roughly determine the location of the Gu worms, he did not dare to act rashly.
Once the offspring Gu worm encountered danger in the host body, it would escape to other parts of the body. If such a situation occurred, it would be difficult to remove the Gu.
In order to more accurately determine the location of the offspring Gu worms, Mo Jiuye took out the small porcelain bottle containing the mother Gu worm found in Mr. Simeng’s place.
He could not determine which Gu worm was the mother Gu controlling the offspring Gu in his elder brothers’ bodies, so he could only try shaking them gently one by one.
As long as the mother Gu worm moved slightly in the porcelain bottle, the offspring Gu it controlled would also wiggle in the host body.
Mo Jiuye and Sixth Elder Brother cooperated, with each person staring at one elder brother’s arm.
He tentatively shook a porcelain bottle.
Soon, there was a noticeable bulge on Second Brother’s arm.
A bean-sized lump could be seen with the naked eye under his skin.
Mo Jiuye determined the location of the offspring Gu worm and immediately handed a porcelain bottle to Sixth Elder Brother.
"Sixth elder brother, see the Gu worm at the first moment and put it into the porcelain bottle."
After Sixth Elder Brother nodded solemnly, he held the porcelain bottle with his eyes fixed on Ninth Younger Brother’s action.
Mo Jiuye moved the knife and made a not very deep cut on Second Brother’s arm.
A black Gu worm appeared before the two brothers.
Without any hesitation, Sixth Elder Brother nimbly put the offspring Gu worm that had just revealed its head into the bottle.
Mo Jiuye skillfully helped Second Brother disinfect the wound and sutured it. Although his suturing technique was not great, the effect was satisfactory.
Using the same method, Mo Jiuye found the mother Gu controlling Big Brother by shaking, accurately located the offspring Gu worm in his body and performed the surgery.
When everything was finished, Mo Jiuye’s forehead was sweating.
He did not forget to reassure Sixth Elder Brother.
"The Gu worms in Big Brother and Second Brother have been removed. As long as the effects of the anesthetics wear off, they will wake up."
Estimating the time, it had been more than half an hour since he had given the two elder brothers the anesthetics. If nothing unexpected happened, they would wake up soon.
Judging from the physical condition of Big Brother and Second Brother, their whole bodies were thinner than just skin and bones, and their faces looked much older compared to his impression.
Especially Big Brother, there was a long scar above his forehead.
However, compared with Fourth Elder Brother and Seventh Elder Brother, the situation was much more optimistic. At least their limbs were not seriously injured.
Just as Mo Jiuye was carefully observing the conditions of Big Brother and Second Brother, he suddenly felt a slight movement behind him.
He and Sixth Elder Brother turned around at the same time and saw that Third Older Brother had opened his eyes slightly.
Not knowing whether it was because the toxins in his body had not completely subsided, his eyes looked a little swollen.
"Third Older Brother, you are awake?" As Mo Jiuye and Sixth Elder Brother were already squatting in front of him.
Seeing the two brothers, Third Older Brother still couldn’t believe this was real.
He rubbed his somewhat uncomfortable eyes vigorously and looked at the two again.
"Sixth Younger Brother, Ninth Younger Brother, where is this place?"
"Third Older Brother, we are now in the foothills of the Western Realm."
Hearing that it was the foothills, Third Older Brother’s confused consciousness finally began to return slowly.
Seeing him trying hard to sit up, Mo Jiuye and Sixth Elder Brother supported him from left to right.
"Third Older Brother, don’t worry, take your time."
Third Older Brother first looked left and right and saw Liang Hao and the others lying not far away, still in a coma.
There were also two people on the stone slabs who looked like beggars and he could not see their appearance clearly.
"Sixth Younger Brother, Ninth Younger Brother, how are Liang Hao and the others?"
He did not recognize his two elder brothers. At this moment, his first concern was naturally the good brothers who had risked danger with him.
"Third Older Brother, don’t worry. Liang Hao and the others have taken the antidote. I believe they will wake up after a while."
Hearing Ninth Younger Brother say this, Third Older Brother finally felt relieved.
He then asked, "Why did you two appear here? Were you injured by the poisons on the Sixth Mound?"
Recalling the poisons they had encountered after entering the Sixth Mound, Third Older Brother was still terrified.
If it hadn’t been for their martial arts prowess to dodge onto the trees in time, they would have long become a delicious meal for those scorpions and toads.
Mo Jiuye knew that Third Older Brother and Liang Hao’s group had encountered the same as him and Sixth Elder Brother when they went up the Sixth Mound.
It was just that he and Sixth Elder Brother had the life-saving items prepared by his wife, so they were not injured.
Third Older Brother and the others did not have such adequate preparation. It was extremely fortunate that they still had a breath left when he came to their rescue.
In order not to make Third Older Brother worry, Mo Jiuye briefly recounted how several brothers went to the capital to capture Mr. Simeng, and then came here to look for their father and elder brothers.
After listening, Third Older Brother’s gaze fell directly on Big Brother and Second Brother who were still unconscious lying on the stone slabs.
"Ninth Younger Brother, are they Big Brother and Second Brother?"
Mo Jiuye nodded solemnly: "Fortunately our brothers are unharmed. We had just arrived here when Big Brother and Second Brother appeared. However, they were also under the control of Mr. Simeng’s puppet Gu worms and had no consciousness at all. I could only temporarily make them pass out and then remove the Gu worms.
Now the Gu worms have been successfully removed from Big Brother and Second Brother. They will wake up after a while."
Third Older Brother excitedly grabbed Mo Jiuye’s arm while using his support to try to stand up.
