Thousand Li Earthwolf Spider

Gu worm in Reverend Insanity

V

The Thousand Li Earthwolf Spider is a rank five steed-type Gu with a large body that burrows underground and once carried the Flower Wine Monk.

Jia Jin Sheng first names the Gu while pressing Fang Yuan about the Flower Wine Monk inheritance cave. He calls it a rank five steed-type Gu with a large body, proficient at burrowing underground, and says the Monk’s freedom of movement came mostly from this mount, which let him escape righteous cultivators. ch. 46 The English name carries a footnote marker at chapter 46, but the novel text file has no footnote body that prints a Chinese name or glyph.

Appearance

It has a large body. ch. 46 Its entire body is pitch black and emits a metallic glow like iron and steel. Its chest and back armor are thick. It has three pairs of legs, each tipped with spiral-shaped feelers like a drill. ch. 188

Form and rank

It is rank five and steed-type, and both Jia Jin Sheng and Fang Yuan treat the body as massive: too large to leave the inheritance cave through the crack they used. Fang Yuan also notes that the Photo-audio fight recording never shows the Monk summoning it. ch. 46

Effect

Its attested use is underground travel. It digs tunnels through soil and rock, and a Gu Master rides it as a steed. ch. 46 ch. 61

Bond with its first owner

Jia Jin Sheng says the spider and the Monk were inseparable, and guesses the inheritance cave was dug by it rather than formed naturally in Qing Mao Mountain’s heavy soil. ch. 46 Before dying, the Monk used the spider to dig a tunnel deeper into the mountain to guide an inheritor. ch. 61 Fang Yuan later reads the same underground work as the Monk’s digging with this Gu. ch. 162

Tunnel toward the spirit spring

After Moonshadow Gu restricted his primeval essence, he used the Thousand Li Earthwolf Spider to dig a tunnel and secretly reach the spirit spring area so he could refine Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus. ch. 163

Fang Yuan’s mount

Fang Yuan finds the Gu sealed in a rock-wall cocoon: pitch black with a metallic glow, thick chest and back armor, and three pairs of legs tipped with spiral drill feelers. He refines the weakened rank five Gu, notes it is a large steed-type Gu that eats soil and is easy to raise, and rides it toward the surface along the Monk’s escape tunnel. Primeval essence at rank three cannot keep up with its cost, so he has to stop and recover while it drills through cave-ins. He had thrown away Thunderwings Gu earlier and was lacking a movement-type Gu when he obtained this steed. The chapter does not call the spider itself a movement-type Gu. ch. 188

The same stretch explains that under the Monk it had fought First gen Gu Yue and been corrupted by Blood Frenzy Gu. After the Monk died it fled back along its escape path, sealed itself, and hibernated. Awakened centuries later, the frenzy returns and it digs wildly while Fang Yuan rides it upward with only partial control. ch. 189

It surfaces into the three clans’ battlefield with Fang Yuan on its back, clashes with Bai Ning Bing and the white form immortal snake, then is abandoned when Blood Frenzy corruption is about to turn it into blood water. ch. 190 The text never shows the moment that change finishes. It has already died. ch. 193 By then, Fang Yuan had lost both Thunderwings Gu and the Thousand Li Earthwolf Spider as separate prior mounts. ch. 196 Five days into the Yellow Dragon River flight, Fang Yuan’s spider is already dead, while Bai Ning Bing’s white form immortal snake has flown off with no news. ch. 200 The spider and Bai Ning Bing’s White Form Immortal Snake Gu are later called mobile rank five Gu, with one dead and the other escaped. ch. 206 No later cited chapter names another specimen beyond this Flower Wine Monk copy that Fang Yuan briefly rides.

Path

It is steed-type; early chapters do not name a cultivation path for this Gu. ch. 46 ch. 188
