Snake Tongue Gu

At the front of a six-man group moving deeper into a mountain forest, a male Gu Master named Chi She hisses and from time to time sticks his tongue out into the air. His tongue has a small divide and becomes the bright red forked tongue of a snake. He is the group’s reconnaissance Gu Master. He calls out three medium-sized animals suspected to be wild deer, then a group suspected to be turtleback apes, then a middle-sized creature suspected to be a white tiger. ^{ch. 93}

Effect

Fang Yuan thinks Chi She is probably using Snake Tongue Gu. He calls it a rank two Gu worm that can sense heat temperatures. Without Chi She’s warning in advance, the narration says, the group might have been caught unprepared by the tiger. ^{ch. 93}

Flaws

Fang Yuan counts three very obvious flaws. The perception radius is small, it is easily interfered with, and it cannot detect cold-blooded creatures. Even so, he judges it better than not having any detection. ^{ch. 93}

He is rank two himself now, and thinks that to survive in the wild he will also need a detection-type of Gu. ^{ch. 93}
