The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 726

Chapter 726

The footsteps were light.

Although James’ health was declining, his senses had not been dulled.

He rolled off the bed and tip-toed out of the ward. He scanned the hallways and approached the staircase.

When he reached the staircase entrance, he immediately noticed a man dressed in a black coat and duckbill hat, deliberately covering up his appearance. The man leaned against the wall and waited for James to approach.

“The King has requested for me to check on you. Are you alright?” a hoarse voice asked.

James stood beside him. His body was unstable, and he had to resort to leaning against the wall to reduce his burden.

James wore a grim expression as he explained, “My body is in a critical condition. I was poisoned with Gu. My body is weak and will slowly deteriorate until I’m completely paralyzed. I’ll have to await my death in pain while bedridden.”

“Gu?”

Gloom was shocked.

“How can this be? Haven’t these cultlike practices been destroyed a hundred years ago? How is it possible for anyone to be raising Gus?”

James glanced at Gloom curiously. He seemed to be incredibly familiar with Gu.

A hundred years ago, it seemed that many people raised Gus.

“You seem to know a lot?”

Gloom shook his head and said, “I don’t know much about it. I only heard my teacher mention it before.”

James was intrigued. “I’d like to hear the details.”

Gloom explained, “A hundred years ago, a group of people who lived in the mountains relied on raising Gu as their source of income. They were called the Gu raisers. These people were a community, a village, and were considered an organization. Collectively, they were called the Masters of Gu.

“A hundred years ago, Sol had just been established but was in turmoil. My teacher said that the Masters of Gu planned to use Gus to control the world and became a great threat to the world. An alliance was formed against them, and they were ultimately wiped out. There hasn’t been any news related to them for a hundred years. It’s shocking to find out they still exist today.”

Hearing this, James had a vague understanding of it. He had no interest in the history and simply cared about whether the venom in his body could be detoxified.
