Chapter 126. Demise of the wood charm | Reverend Insanity

Admit defeat…..Fang Yuan's words were still lingering in the crowd's ears.Instantly, almost all the Rank two Gu Masters below the rock building looked at Fang Yuan with surprise.Fang Yuan ignored them; he held his arms and stood on the spot with an indifferent expression."Admit defeat? He directly admitted defeat, did I hear that wrongly?""He is Fang Yuan? He doesn't even have the guts to come out, haha.""We recognize Xiong Li's power, he is indeed strong. But even if you want to admit defeat, at least do that after the formalities. By directly admitting defeat, he is not only showing that he is a coward, he is even tarnishing the clan."The whispers were like ripples in a calm lake.The Gu Masters' gazes turned from surprise to despise, scorn and gloating.Many Gu Yue clan Gu Masters felt unease; the gazes from the Xiong and Bai clan's Gu Masters were like invisible needles, piercing their self-esteem.Fang Yuan was a member of the Gu Yue clan, with him directly admitting defeat, this made them feel absolutely humiliated."How could you admit defeat? Fang Yuan, you are a man of Gu Yue village, stand up and fight bravely with Xiong Li!""Even if you lost, it wouldn't be anything serious.""If you don't even have the guts to go out, then that would really be throwing away our dignity!"Some Gu Yue clan Gu Masters shouted and urged Fang Yuan to take the challenge.Fang Yuan was indifferent; to him, these words were like dogs barking.The so-called name, face and honor was only a pie painted on a paper; shackles used by the higher-ups to bind the organization members.These Gu Masters were also dogs on a leash.Xiong Li gazed at Fang Yuan and suddenly laughed, "I am truly disappointed. Is this how a Gu Yue village's bravery looks like?"Gu Yue clan Gu Masters looked unsightly when they heard this.Hoots of laughter came from Xiong village's side, and even Bai village's Gu Masters looked at Gu Yue clan with mockery.The people around Fang Yuan started moving away. Everyone made some distance from him; their faces were filled with embarrassment.Soon, there was no one within five steps from Fang Yuan.Fang Yuan stood alone. My way or the highway(1), his expression was calm as opposed to the surroundings.Others fancied a courageous reputation, but Fang Yuan scoffed at it. This made others loathe him.Because Fang Yuan loathed fame, he was rejecting the society's values. Denying this system of values was rejecting the people who lived their lives following these values.Others naturally wouldn't deny their own values, otherwise they would feel that they were living in a wrong way. Thus, they had subconsciously started to reject and boycott Fang Yuan.A weak-hearted person would be defeated by such rejection and they would change themselves to suit the public.However, Fang Yuan needed such rejection. He had too many secrets on him and so he needed to be solitary. At the same time, these people weren't worth being friends with. In his memories, Qing Mao Mountain's three villages barely survived the wolf tide, but the accident two years later would totally destroy them and turn the entire Qing Mao Mountain into a desolate area.What Fang Yuan needed was to use this time to improve himself as much as possible, then leave the clan and avoid the fatal disaster.Gu Yue Qing Shu – the number one Rank two Gu Master in the Gu Yue Clan – couldn't help but stand up seeing this situation."Xiong Li, how about sparring with me?""Hehe, what will we compete on?" Xiong Li was smiling, but his expression was serious.Gu Yue Qing Shu didn't look at Xiong Li; he slightly raised his palm and silently moved his primeval essence, his eye watchfully looked at the green vine that was slowly growing out from his palm.He calmly said, "Let's compete on your strength. If you can break away from my green vine's binding, I will admit defeat. Is that okay?""Hehe, good suggestion, let's do it that way." Xiong Li grinned, his eyes revealing a bright light.He inwardly thought, I already have the strength of a bear and combining it with the strength-increase from Grand Bear Gu, I possess the strength of two bears. Although green vine is tough, I have absolute guarantee of breaking it away with the strength of two bears. Xiong Jiang won against Bai Bing Yi and if I defeat Qing Shu, it would give us great reputation!Qing Shu gently smiled. Without speaking, he extended his two hands; two green vines grew out from his palms. Like two nimble green pythons, the two vines climbed up Xiong Li and twisted around his body.Xiong Li's hands were at his waist; the green vines coiled around both his arms and instantly made a dozen circles around them, tightly binding his hands with his back.The Gu Masters on the scene couldn't take their eyes off this contest."Please." Qing Shu said to Xiong Li.Xiong Li opened his eyes. He tightly clenched his fists and started putting strength.Every muscle on his body seemed to stand out like lumps on a huge rock.Strength of a bear!Boom.The green vines started to snap under his enormous strength."Hahaha, brother Qing Shu, it seems the winner of this contest belongs to me!" Xiong Li was using his strength to break free, but he still had enough energy to make a conversation."Senior Qing Shu…." Fang Zheng was nervous and his hands were sweatingThe other Gu Yue clan's Gu Masters were also the same. Gu Yue Qing Shu was the number one among them and if he lost the contest, the Gu Yue Clan would have thoroughly lost their face this time!"Not necessarily." Gu Yue Qing Shu smiled, his eyes showing confidence.When he finished speaking, the green vines on his hands started changing. The originally green-like jade color suddenly changed to a dark green color. At the same time, the vines also became thicker and green wide leaves started growing on it.Xiong Li's face changed, he sensed the green vine's coiling strength had increased by more than ten times.What made him more apprehensive was that those green vines which he had broken away from started growing and reconnected with the broken areas.Grand Bear Gu!He sensed the situation going bad and immediately used the Grand Bear Gu in his aperture.Immediately, his hair started stiffening up like steel needles. The muscles on his whole body enlarged and he seemed to have become much taller and bulkier.Strength of two bears!The green vines gave creaking noises but it was still able to resist this terrifying strength, firmly confining Xiong Li.Xiong Li's face became very red, and he brought out all his strength to break the green vines. But finally, he was only able to snap one green vine and couldn't continue anymore."I lost." He released the supporting strength of Grand Bear Gu and said while gasping."You let me win." Qing Shu cupped his hands and retrieved the green vines."Senior Qing Shu, you are the best." Gu Yue Clan's Gu Masters were jubilant."Senior Qing Shu really deserves his name. Big brother can't compare to him at all." Fang Zheng stood beside Qing Shu and looked at the latter with reverence.Xiong Li's gaze was complicated as he looked at Gu Yue Qing Shu. He had progressed and obtained Brown Bear Innate Strength Gu, but Qing Shu had also progressed. Although he didn't know what the latter used, but this was his true rival. As for that Fang Yuan, he was only a newbie and was nothing to worry about."It really is the Wood Charm Gu," Fang Yuan thought as he observed Qing Shu from afar.Xiong Li hadn't discovered anything when facing Gu Yue Qing Shu. Two emerald-green leaves had grown on Gu Yue Qing Shu's hair.This was the sign of using the Wood Charm Gu.The so-called Wood Charm was a tree spirit.Using the Wood Charm Gu could let one battle as a tree spirit.The tree spirit was an unusual creature. It could directly absorb the natural essence in the air and use it.Gu Masters couldn't do this, they could only use the primeval essence in their aperture.When one used the Wood Charm gu, they could become an embodiment of a Wood Charm tree spirit and would be able to directly absorb the natural essence in the air and replenish their primeval essence. It was the same as absorbing the primeval essence from primeval stones.When normal Gu Masters battle, they are unable to divide their mind and absorb primeval essence from primeval stones while fighting.But as an embodiment of the tree spirit, the absorption of natural essence is an instinct and does not need one to divide their minds. This meant that the Gu Masters who used Wood Charm Gu were experts in war of attrition. Although one couldn't say that they could use the natural essence endlessly, they could fight for as much as three times longer because of the continuous replenishment.And once one became an embodiment of the tree spirit, Gu worms like Green Vine Gu and Pine Needle Gu would also have their strength amplified.Fang Yuan instantly connected the dots, "Wood Charm Gu's fusion advancement can be said to be one of the most extravagant advancement routes. It is a Rank three Gu and needs to fuse with a hundred-years Lifespan Gu to advance to a Rank four hundred-years Wood Charm gu. The hundred-years Wood Charm Gu needs to fuse with a thousand years Lifespan Gu to advance into a Rank five thousand-years Wood Charm gu. Everyone knows this fusion route, but Gu Masters rarely use this recipe. The reason is due to the preciousness of the Lifespan Gu. When the Gu Masters finds Lifespan Gu, they will usually use it directly to increase their own lifespan."In this world, a human could live for at most a hundred years if they didn't encounter any accidents or illnesses. A hundred years was the lifespan limit of the humans.But a Lifespan Gu can increase lifespan.A hundred years Lifespan Gu can increase the lifespan of a person by a hundred years and a thousand years Lifespan Gu could increase it by a thousand.Lifespan Gu were extremely rare and everyone sought after them.Fang Yuan had lived for five hundred years in his previous life because he used five hundred-year Lifespan Gu in his previous life, thus adding five hundred years to his lifespan — his one hundred years lifespan had turned to six hundred years. But in the end halfway through, he was attacked by the righteous factions and had no choice but to self-detonate and die.Lifespan Gu represented 'long life' and could let people live for long, but it didn't mean 'undying'."The Wood Charm Gu is powerful but has its weakness; Gu Masters can't use it for a long period. If they use it for too long, the Wood Charm Gu's strength will affect their body and will transform their body to that of wood, finally changing the body into a wooden corpse. In my previous life, Gu Yue Qing Shu had died in this way."Thinking of this, Fang Yuan's eyes flashed.Ordinarily, powerful Gu worms had huge side effects and needed to be used with other Gu worms. Otherwise, there would be harmful influences on the Gu Masters' body.Xiong Jiang's Roaming Zombie Gu was best used with the Bloodline gu. If not, the blood in his body would decrease when used for too long and he would change into a true zombie.The Xiong Li group returned to their camp. They first won against Bai Bing Yi, then met defeat against Qing Shu. Even so, the group still received a lot of applause and praises."Mo Yan, I challenge you.""Come, Xiong Jiao Man, I will fight you!"After the Xiong Li group, the whole scene suddenly became noisy. Many Gu Masters continuously came out and challenged the powerful opponents in their minds, demonstrating their bravery.The Alliance slope turned chaotic, and all kinds of brilliant and varied Gu battles were occurring.The true Gu battle had started.(1) Not entirely sure how to fit this into the passage, it is an idiom, but it just means he does whatever he wants/to persist in whatever he is doing no matter what others say.

Chapter 127. So-called morals and relationships (Long Chapter) | Reverend Insanity

Only until evening did the Gu tournament come to an end.On the alliance slope, the Gu Masters from all three clans were no longer as divided as earlier. Gu Masters plastered the slope and only three densely packed groups could be vaguely seen remaining.Gu battle sparring was both a form of venting and also compromise.In this world where the greatest value is strength, only with strength comes respect, and that forms the basis for cooperation.After Xiong Li challenged Fang Yuan, no one else came to look for him.Fang Yuan was only a newbie and did not have much interactions with the other two clan's Gu Masters, not to mention any animosity. As for his own clansmen, they would not challenge someone from their own clan in this situation.Especially after Fang Yuan admitting defeat, it caused other Gu Masters to lose interest in him. Towards this 'lazy', 'cowardly' opponent, what value is there in winning?Not wanting to be trampled on, there are two ways. One is to become strong, strong until no one dares to step on you. Another is to turn into dog shit, something no one would want to step on.Fang Yuan did not care about dog shit, or the reputation of the strong. He always acted unscrupulous, and only cared about the results. Without anyone challenging him, it made his life easier.The surrounding people's contempt and disdain , he treated it like air. If he could not endure even these gazes, what right did he have to pursue the demonic way?The alliance gathering ended successfully, and Gu Yue clan, Bai clan, and Xiong clan all reached an agreement.First, declaring the rules. The three clans will temporarily put aside their grudges and resist the wolf tide together. In times of danger, they will assist each other. At the same time, internal killing is prohibited, and an investigating battle group will be set up. Once they find any murders, the murderer will first be chased out of the clan, then the three clans will bring judgement together, making them pay with their lives. If the murderer escapes outside, their families' lives will be forfeited.Even if the Gu Master dies, Gu worms retrieved from their corpses have to be given to the clan, and if it is used secretly, they will be charged with murder. After the Gu worm is submitted, they can exchange it for merit points.Secondly, setting up the battle merit board. With a small group as a unit, every moment will be showing the battle achievements of the groups from all three clans and their rankings. A lightning wolf's eyeball is exchanged for ten merit points. Merit points can be used to exchange for Gu worms, primeval stones, and other resources.The appearance of the battle merit board naturally inspired the hot bloodedness of the Gu Masters.The result of the Gu battle sparring could not explain the true strength of both parties in actual combat. For example in the case of Xiong Jiang and Bai Bing Yi, other than the Water Drill Gu, Bai Bing Yi naturally had other attacking methods, but Xiong Jiang's Shadow Bond Gu only had an effective range of ten meters.Furthermore, the results of any battle are swayed by many external factors.Gu battle sparring lacked a convincing element, which the battle merit board can provide as a fairer method of competition.The Gu Masters from the three clans wasted no time in hunting lightning wolves, fighting for a better ranking on the battle merit board.This was not just for one's own glory, but also for the reputation of the clan.Especially the top three positions in the merit board, it showed intense competition. Almost every day, the top three would have some sort of change.Very quickly, a month passed.Winter left and spring came, causing all living beings to grow once more.After a battle.Fang Yuan stepped on the remaining snow, regulating his breathing as well as observing the battlefield around him.On the battlefield, there were over ten lightning wolves, all dead. Wolf blood and minced corpse could be seen everywhere, and the air emanated a smell of thick blood.Howl...At this point, wolf cries could be heard from a distance not too far away.Fang Yuan's expression changed slightly. With his experience, he knew that a pack of wolves were heading this way rapidly.If it was any other Gu Master, after an intense battle, without enough primeval essence in their aperture, they might have thoughts of retreating. But Fang Yuan did not care about this; he squatted down and began to gather the eyeballs from the wolf corpses.His movements were fluid and highly efficient, but even so, after he was done extracting, he was already half-surrounded by the wolf pack.This was a mid-sized wolf pack with around one hundred crippled wolves, their greenish wolf eyes showing a ruthless expression as they stared at Fang Yuan firmly.Fang Yuan kept the wolf eyes well before standing up with a smile. Next, his body flickered like water ripples, and he vanished on the spot.The wolf pack that had come to assault him were instantly riled up, and some of the crippled wolves stood in their tracks, showing a hesitant feeling.After all they were wild beasts. Seeing such a magical scene, it was hard to comprehend."But, this is also because the lightning wolf king uses its wolf eyes to observe, and not its nose. Lightning wolves are fantastical creatures of this world; their vision is sharp like an eagle, but their sense of smell is no better from humans. My Stealth Scales Gu counters these lightning wolves perfectly, but it cannot hide from a dog's nose." Fang Yuan was clear in his heart.Stealth Scales Gu was successfully refined by him before the Gu battle tournament. It was like a fossilised carp, grey throughout, lying in Fang Yuan's primeval sea, letting the liquid essence flow around its very realistic fish scales.The Fish Scale Gu that Fang Yuan lacked was naturally obtained by trading the Black Boar Gu with Qing Shu.With this Stealth Scales Gu, Fang Yuan could retreat from under the lightning wolves' nose.In these few days, this situation had already occurred many times.Normally, wolves or hounds had very sensitive noses. But lightning wolves were different — they were very fast, but without clear vision, they would knock into a tree or the mountain rocks.But nature is fair, as when it bestowed the lightning wolves with its sharp vision, it also took away their sense of smell.However, the lightning crown wolf was different.Even with the Stealth Scales Gu, Fang Yuan could travel freely among the normal wolf tide, but in front of a myriad beast king like the lightning crown wolf, he had nowhere to hide.That is because the lightning crown wolf's eyes had the Lightning Eye Gu residing in it — this Gu allowed the ability to see through all sorts of cloaking.Other than the Lightning Eye Gu, there are actually also many other Gu worms that can detect the stealthed Fang Yuan.For example, the Snake Communication Gu, it can detect heat. The Beast Language Gu can allow a Gu Master and wild beasts to converse and obtain information. The clairaudience Gu can allow a Gu Master's hearing to be extremely sensitive.Thus, even with the Stealth Scales Gu, it did not mean Fang Yuan was completely safe, but it was at most a good life-saving trump card.When he returned to the village, it was still afternoon.The day in spring was bright and beautiful, and there were many people passing in and out of the village door. What was different from previous years was that people on the road were mostly Gu Masters, while there were very little mortals.Under the influence of the wolf tide, the wilderness was not safe. Hunters did not dare to hunt in the mountains, and farms were almost abandoned.On the streets, Gu Masters were high in morale, each returning with blood traces all over, or enthusiastically leaving.They were either talking about the battle merit board's ranking, or discussing their experiences in killing the lightning wolves. Some were talking about the well-performing Gu Masters from the other villages.Fang Yuan was among the crowd that walked into the village, and he went to the village square in front of the family head pavillion.The square already had a stage; the merit points were exchanged here.A large amount of Gu Masters gathered here, and Rank one Gu Masters were doing administrative work. Some Rank two Gu Masters squeezed around, using the bloodstained wolf eyes to exchange for merit points.There was also a portion of them that were using their merit points to exchange for primeval stones, Gu worms or food ingredients, etc.In the middle of the village square, a large banner was erected, and on it there was the written language of this world; it was constantly changing.This is the battle merit board, and on it there are over a dozen Swimword Gu.Rank one Swimword Gu, after being manipulated by Rank one support Gu Masters, can freely convert the contents of the writings on the banner."Hmph, why is the #1 still the Bai clan's Bai Bing Yi's group?" Some stared at the battle merit board, frowning."Let me see, Bai Bing Yi is #1, our clan's Qing Shu group is #2, and Xiong Li group is #3, my group is the 137th." A Gu Master counted.This time, someone suddenly said, "It changed, it changed! Qing Shu group is now #1. They pushed Bai clan's Bai Bing Yi to #2!"On the battle merit board, the symbol showing the second ranking Qing Shu group suddenly moved, crawling its way upwards and pulling the Bai Bing Yi group down with its "hands", ascending the position of number one itself, even using its "leg" to trample around.Such a human reaction, it was naturally due to the Gu Master manipulating the Swimword Gu.Seeing this interesting change, the Gu Masters in the village square laughed heartily, pointing a thumbs up towards Qing Shu's group, praising nonstop. The Rank one Gu Master controlling the Swimword Gu had a red face as he showed an expression of excitement."Lord Qing Shu, you are indeed our number one Rank two Gu Master!""Good job, Lord Qing Shu."Gu Yue Qing Shu walked among the crowd, smiling faintly. Gu Yue Fang Zheng who was behind him clenched both fists, following closely with an excited expression on his face.The praises from all over the square filled the young man's strong materialistic desire. This made Fang Zheng feel like he was walking on a bright path, unknowingly increasing his recognition towards the clan."Big brother…" He saw Fang Yuan standing among the crowd, observing with his arms folded."Big brother, you are still alone, all by yourself. No wonder you have been at the bottom of the ranking every since the start. Only by removing your prejudice and fusing into the masses can you feel the warmth and happiness of the clan," Fang Zheng sighed, feeling that Fang Yuan was somewhat pitiful and pathetic.People who were like Fang Yuan, always fighting alone without any companions, could not feel any kinship from the clan or friendship forged from fighting together with your teammates.Facing everything alone is not only dangerous, but mundane.A person living without friendship, love or kinship, what is the meaning of being alive?Fang Yuan stood among the crowd, staring at the tall merit board. Without doubt, the last position on the ranking was written in large letters —"Fang Yuan Group".Other Gu Masters upon seeing this, felt extremely shameful, but Fang Yuan's gaze was calm, not minding it one bit.After being promoted to group leader, he had never recruited any members. He was a loner group leader, the most special group in the entire Qing Mao mountain's three clans.With only him alone, of course his daily hunting results could not compare to other groups. Of course, with Fang Yuan's current abilities, if he tried hard he would definitely not be last place.But this was pointless to Fang Yuan.He did not need much merit points, living resources or Gu worm's food, he had stock for everything. He had planned to exchange for a Fish Scales Gu earlier, but now he no longer needed to.Right now he was hunting lightning wolves daily just to put on a show to fulfil the quota, and secondly accumulate some merit points to exchange for moon orchid petals.After all, his Moonglow Gu needed this food.Half a month soon passed, and the spring atmosphere intensified.Trees started to grow leaves, and wildflowers on the roadside bloomed.Under the warm spring winds, Gu Masters sang in battle, and the battle situation was getting better and better.Fang Yuan walked on the pavement, seeing everyone's happy faces, their exchanges of praise like courageous acts and the likes.Of course, there were also some Gu Masters who were in deep worry, showing an unhappy expression. These Gu Masters were mostly the elderly, as with their rich life experiences, they knew that the real wolf tide was coming in summer and autumn.Fang Yuan realized in his heart."What caused this current situation is due to the three-clan alliance, thus people have reduced their caution of each other, and this enabled Gu Masters to be more invested in resisting the wolf tide. Secondly, the lightning wolves exterminated were only the crippled wolves. Thirdly, with the coming of spring, many wolves are busy mating. When summer comes, the truly energetic and healthy wolves would attack from all directions, causing great damage and deaths to the three clans."Thinking of this, Fang Yuan's eyes shone with cold light.In this year's wolf tide, the intensity was like never before, it reached a danger level that was unforeseen. Even the clan higher-ups greatly underestimated the severity of this wolf tide.In his memory, most of the Gu Masters died, and the trump cards of the three clans were nearly fully expended.Fang Yuan had never thought of warning the higher-ups. One is that even if he did, they might not listen to his suggestion, and even emphasize on where he got the information, which he is unable to explain. Secondly, there was no point in telling them, it is a fundamental difference in strength. Thirdly, and the most crucial reason, warning the clan did not fit his biggest interest!I would rather let the world down, than be let down by the world!!!What kinship, friendship, love – these are but an ornament in life, how can they compare to a man's great ambition?On Earth, Xiang Yu wanted to cook Liu Bang's father, and the Han dynasty ancestor Liu Bang even laughed and said, "Go ahead, don't forget to give me a piece of meat."Tang Dynasty Li Shi Ming killing his brothers, Cao Cao's army having no rations and cooking people to turn them into dried meat as food. Liu Bei borrowing Jing Zhou but never returning.The higher-ups praised the values and morals, but those are just tools to maintain their rule.If one is restrained by these, how can they achieve anything?Those who step into upper society, who does not have bloodstained hands, stepping on corpses along the way? A capitalist's initial startup fund, the process is always bloody. Any politician's hands are dirty, and the so-called philanthropists are merely using money to gain recognition in society.It is just that the successful are apt in hiding their past acts, and those who believe the stories of the successors are truly fools."These fools are everywhere, restrained by emotions and morals, they deserve to be stupidly manipulated by rules. What's sadder is that when they see others not being restrained, they would jump out and criticise, trying to impart these morals to the people, not allowing others to have more freedom than them. In this process, they would even enjoy this ridiculous moral superiority and bliss."Thinking of this, Fang Yuan looked at the Gu Masters walking past him.These people, they had a body full of abilities, and some even had higher cultivation than him, but for what?They are just pawns, merely restrained dogs.What truly stalls a person's success is not talent, but mindset.Any organisation, once a person is born, would impart their morals and rules, constantly brainwashing. Those that want to surpass humanity's achievements have to break this restraint on their mindset. Sadly, most people are trapped by this their entire lives, using this to move forward with motivation and even use their chained collar as a symbol of pride.Thinking so, Fang Yuan laughed coldly.Walking out of the village door, he retracted his thoughts.There was something important today, he was preparing to enter the rock crack's secret cave again!

Chapter 128. If not for the harshness of the winter, how could we look forward to spring! | Reverend Insanity

A faint red glow pervaded the stone forest, the petrified growths sprouting out from the ceiling towards the ground like upside-down trees. It was a sight to see."It has been over a month since I last came here." Fang Yuan thought helplessly.After the three clans united, they had commenced a crusade to continuously eliminate the surrounding wolf packs. Because the of the constant traffic for the war effort, Gu Masters made up an almost ever-present flow moving nearby the stone crack cave. In such a situation, even if Fang Yuan possessed Stealth Scales Gu, there was a danger of exposing himself.Despite the risk, Fang Yuan was very careful in the way he did things. Five hundred years worth of life experience had nurtured enough patience in him; he kept reign over his desires and made sure not to make movements around the stone cave during this period.When spring came, the crippled wolves had been successfully rooted out and there were few Gu Masters left roaming around. Only then was he willing and Fang Yuan circled around the village before using the Stealth Scales Gu to come back.A month had passed by, allowing some stone monkey groups to repopulate and they had moved to the stone pillars he had cleared before.Fortunately, the number were quite few.Fang Yuan spent some time killing the monkey groups and advancing towards the central area of the stone forest.Under the shadow of the huge stone pillar, an obvious artificial cave entrance appeared before his eyes.Some crude rock stairs extended downwards from the cave mouth into the darkness.Fang Yuan used the White Jade Gu to cover his whole body with a layer of faint jade light and carefully descended down the stairs.His left hand held a fire torch, whereas bright moonlight shone on his right palm — The Moonglow Gu was already activated.It was completely dark underground and even the fire torch could only illuminate five steps ahead.An illumination-type Gu would be a lot helpful in such situations. Unfortunately Fang Yuan was not so affluent.Step by step, he walked on for a long while before reaching the end of the stairs.A crude artificial stone door was in front of him."Golden Centipede's cave is precarious, Earth Communication is the way to avoid the disaster." Fang Yuan lifted his fire torch which illuminated some characters carved on the stone door.Earth communication...Golden Centipede…..Fang Yuan's eyes gleamed, comprehending the meaning."If this is what I think it is…" He crouched down and touched the ground; the soil was wet."There's something." He was happy. He began to dig the soil and indeed, he found an Earth Treasury Flower.He carefully uncovered the petals and took out a Gu worm from the heart of the flower.This was a special Gu.It resembled a human ear, but much smaller. It was yellowish-brown, and looked shrivelled and dull.He felt it in his palm; it was shrivelled like marinated radish and carried some warmth. Dozens of roots like the ginseng roots grew out from its sides.This was a Rank two grass Gu — Earth Communication Ear Grass.Looking at the Earth Communication Ear Grass, Fang Yuan's gaze flashed.This Earth Communication Ear Grass's usage was to scout. It had appeared in a great time and was perfect for Fang Yuan.Earth Communication Ear Grass had a great advantage; it could scout up to three hundred paces. This range was among the best of Rank two investigative Gu worms.It was easy to feed too. Its food was the ginseng roots.There were many forested mountains in the Southern Border. There were far more ginsengs here than in Earth. Hunter families would occasionally pick some when they went to hunt in the mountains.Especially when ginseng is easy to store; as long as it is completely dried and sealed up properly, it could be kept for a long time under room temperature.Moon orchid petals wilted in a few days, but ginseng could be stored for a long time."Gu worms need to be nurtured, used and refined. These three aspects are broad and has many mysteries within them. Earth Communication Ear Grass is easy to nurture, but using it is rather troublesome," Fang Yuan pondered. He held the Earth Communication Ear Grass and poured primeval essence, instantly refining it.Earth Communication Ear Grass was very outstanding and could compare with many Rank three investigative Gu worms. However, heaven was fair, and using the Earth Communication Ear Grass didn't end with just refining, it still needed a certain price.Just like the Zombie Gu and Wood Charm Gu which needed to be used with other Gu worms,, there was a consequence. If used for a long time, the Gu Master's body would slowly corrode and turn into a true zombie or tree man."Many Gu worms can't be used by merely refining them, they still need some special prerequisites. This Earth Communication Flesh Ear Gu is also the same. By using it to ascertain the situation, I can truly move about freely in the wolf tide and even achieve some of my goals during this wolf tide….."Fang Yuan pondered for a while and decided to use this Earth Communication Flesh Ear Gu.As the gains would be greater than losses, even if he had to pay the price, it was nothing for the sake of his future."No matter which world, how could one gain anything without paying a price?" Fang Yuan coldly smiled and put the Earth Communication Ear Grass in his aperture.He gazed at the stone door deeply then turned around and left.If he didn't guess wrong, there would be a great danger in the other side of the stone door. Only by using the Earth Communication Ear Grass, could he be able to avoid it.Fang Yuan exited the secret cave and leisurely circled the village; after making several rounds, hunting several lone wolves and taking their eyeballs, he returned.He was still the last in the battle merit board. As he walked through the street, the Gu Masters who recognized him laughed at him or threw a contemptuous look.Fang Yuan didn't care and still went his own way.After several days, he used small battle merits to exchange for ginseng roots, properly feeding the Earth Communication Ear Grass and recovering its vitality.Most of the clan's attention was on the wolf tide, no one paid attention to Fang Yuan. If it was before, Uncle and Aunt might have brought him some troubles, but they had made no more movements ever since Fang Yuan sold the family assets to them.Difficult to do openly, easy to do secretly.Soon, Fang Yuan smoothly completed some preparations in the dark.Tonight, the moon was bright and stars were few.The moon hung high above like a jade plate and the gentle darkness of the night was like a yarn, covering Qing Mao mountain.From time to time, wolf howls could be faintly heard from afar.Fang Yuan securely closed the door and windows. He stood inside his rented room, his whole body naked. There was a table in front of him and a basin filled with warm water was laid on it. Beside the washbasin was a white towel and a sharp dagger on top.Even the floor he was standing on was covered with a layer of thick cloth.Strands of moonlight passed through the cracks in the windows and shone upon the table.Fang Yuan's expression was indifferent as he grabbed the dagger. The dagger was sharp and had a cold shine to it. It could even be used as a mirror.Under the faint light, the young man's indifferent face was reflected on the dagger.Right now, Fang Yuan couldn't help but think of a martial arts skill book from Earth called the <sacred scroll sunflower>.The first sentence in the first page of <sacred scroll sunflower> was 'Castrate yourself to train this skill."One needed to give up or pay something if they wanted to receive quick strength!So what if you needed to castrate yourself?If you don't have such ruthless decisiveness and aren't willing to let go, how could you accomplish your ambitions and become a lord ruling over everything?Wanting to receive without paying anything was only fairytales to deceive children.Back to Fang Yuan's current state, to use this Earth Communication Ear Grass, the price he needed to pay couldn't amount to anything.Thinking of this, Fang Yuan coldly smiled.He used his fingers to lightly caress the cold blade and softly hummed—Moon like the frost-filled night, the dagger shines with a cold light.If not for the harshness of the winter, how could we look forward to spring!He quickly moved his hand.The hand rose and the dagger fell; blood burst out.A piece of flesh fell on the table—Fang Yuan had cut apart his whole right ear and blood was spurting out of it.He first felt a little cool before an intense burst of pain suddenly attacked him.He gritted his teeth and sucked in breath through his teeth. He resisted the pain and called out Earth Communication Ear Grass from his aperture.He had nurtured this Earth Communication Ear Grass back to its full vitality. It was now completely different from how it looked back when he just got it.Back when he had taken it out of the Earth Treasury Flower, it was shrivelled and dull. Now, it was plump and warm; fat and big and had grown up to an adult palm size.It was highly elastic and resembled the Buddha's drooping ear of Earth.Fang Yuan pressed the Earth Communication Flesh Ear Gu on his wound at the right side of his head and immediately poured red steel primeval essence towards it.The Earth Communication Flesh Ear Gu's roots immediately came to life and rapidly began to grow, taking root in Fang Yuan's wound.Another burst of pain came!Fang Yuan felt like dozens of earthworms were drilling towards his brain from his wound.This feeling was painful and also nauseating.Generally speaking, Gu Masters would use some Gu worms to numb their nerves in this stage. But Fang Yuan wasn't in that situation and could only rely on his iron willpower to forcefully endure it.In the end, his body was that of a youth's, and Fang Yuan who endured this pain couldn't help but feel his body starting to sway.More and more roots extended, entered his wound. Slowly, the Earth Communication Ear Grass glued together with the bloody wound, becoming Fang Yuan's new right ear.Finally, there was no more blood flowing out of the wound, there wasn't even a scar.However, Fang Yuan's face was pale; the pain had only slightly decreased, it was still tormenting him.Veins bulged out from his head and his heart thumped rapidly.At this stage, Fang Yuan was already finished for the most part, but some time was still necessary for his body to adapt to the Earth Communication Ear Grass.He picked up a mirror and looked at it under the faint moonlight.He saw his pale face and frowning brows in the mirror. His right ear was bigger than his left by over two times and looked like a deformity.Fang Yuan didn't mind it; after looking at the mirror for a moment and seeing no problems, he felt satisfied.He put the mirror down and picked up the towel. He dipped the towel in the warm water in the basin and wiped the bloodstains on his body.He had no clothes on, so it was very easy to clean the bloodstains. Some blood had flowed down his foot but were absorbed by the cotton cloth spread on the floor.Fang Yuan cleaned the bloodstains, then picked up his right ear from the table.He coldly snorted, then used the Moonglow Gu, slicing his own right ear into meat paste and completely destroying it.Fang Yuan held the basin filled with the watery blood and put it under the bed before throwing a piece of coal in it.Only after doing all this did Fang Yuan lay down on the bed.The pain had weakened for the most part but was still tormenting him.Fang Yuan felt the pain in his head along with his heartbeat.He did not know how much time had passed, but he finally fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 129. Chainsaw Golden Centipede | Reverend Insanity

When Fang Yuan woke up, it was already noon of the second day.His headache was gone, and the intense pain had vanished completely.He touched his ear subconsciously, the sense of touch no different from before. It was as if the cutting of his ear never happened last night.He climbed down from his bed, finding a mirror to look at himself.In the mirror, a young man's face was shown; he was not handsome, but his dark abyss-like iris, made him stand out from mortals, showing a special unique coolness and charisma.The young man's ears were the same as any others.Last night, when he planted the Earth Communication Ear Grass, Fang Yuan's right ear was plump and big, his ear drooping till it nearly reached his chin. But now it was completely normal from appearance, there was nothing different.This is because his body and the Earth Communication Ear Grass had gotten used to each other.Fang Yuan's thought moved, and from his aperture a little red steel primeval essence flowed along his body, moving up towards his right ear.At once, his hearing improved multiple times, and numerous footsteps could be heard.Although he was on the second floor, he had a feeling of stepping on earth.Fang Yuan paid attention and listened as his primeval essence continued to be used, and his hearing improved as well. In the mirror, roots started to grow out of his ear.These roots were like the roots of a thousand year ginseng, extending from his ear towards the outside, constantly growing longer and moving towards the ground.At the same time, his right ear had the notion of becoming fatter.Fang Yuan stopped using the Earth Communication Ear Grass, and a second later, the roots growing out of his ears retracted, and his right ear became normal again.Of course, his hearing also went back to its initial state."This way, I have a recon-type Gu." Fang Yuan wore his upper shirt, taking out a water basin from under his bed.Last night, the bloody water had turned into blackish dirty water due to the charcoal tossed in. The bloody towel submerged within was the same as well. There was still some white in the red colour initially, but now it was all covered by the black soot. It was easy to make people assume that it was a cloth for wiping grease in the kitchen.This basin when brought out, even if it was poured in front of someone, nobody would notice.Summer was coming, and many clansmen were trying to clean the stove that they used in winter. Often they would end up with a basin of dirty water just like this.While the iron was still hot, Fang Yuan entered the rock crack secret cave again.This time, he did not enter empty-handed, but caught a deerling outside and tied its four limbs together. He used a steel contraption to bind its mouth, and then used the Stealth Scales Gu to hide his presence and brought it to the rock door.He did not open the door in a hurry, but activated the Earth Communication Ear Grass.The roots extended from his ear, and his hearing ability amplified.Dongdongdong...Firstly, he heard a light sound, the sound of slow heartbeat.As the roots grew longer, the heartbeat became louder, and the sources of sound also increased.Fang Yuan did not need to think to realize that these heartbeats were coming from the jade eye stone monkeys in the rock forest.His shut his eye and he could imagine in his head, the owners of these sounds hiding in their caves, curling into a ball and sleeping.But this was not what he wanted to find out.He continued listening, his right ear already becoming slightly fat, the ginseng limbs growing out of his ear almost half a metre long, the roots having sentience. They extended to the rock door, and stabbed in rather shallowly.At this moment, Fang Yuan felt that his hearing had a gigantic boost.With him as center, he could hear the numerous noises of a three hundred step radius!This was the Earth Communication Ear Grass' true usage; what he did in the village was merely a test.If the Earth Communication Ear Grass' roots did not touch the ground, for a Rank two recon Gu, it was at a very average level. But once the roots are in the ground, its range would drastically improve.This was understandable.On earth, the theory was that sound travels at a speed related to its intermediary. Sound in the earth or in water, the speed of transmission was far greater than through air.In ancient China, some soldiers in war when sleeping, would use a wooden quiver as their pillow. Once any cavalry attacks, the soldiers would hear the noise from the earth and be awakened in time. If they waited for sound to travel by air, they would not have time to react.The roots grew into the rock door, and Fang Yuan could instantly hear the commotion behind it.It was a very scrambled and confusing noise, but very frequent. Compared to this noise, the stone monkeys' heartbeat was like the sound of drums.If a newbie was using this Earth Communication Ear Grass for the first time, upon hearing this they would be thinking of all the possible guesses. But to Fang Yuan, this noise was expected, and he only listened for a while before frowning.He pushed open the rock door.The rock door was heavy, but with his strength of two boars now, it was easy.The rock door opened, and a dark long tunnel appeared in front of him, stretching on at a straight line, towards the unknown.Fang Yuan untied the deer he had caught, and tossed it into the tunnel.The deerling was very smart. Sensing the dangers of the dark path ahead, it did not dare to move forward. Its huge eyes stared at Fang Yuan, showing fear and a begging intention.Fang Yuan snorted and threw a moonblade.This moonblade was controlled to be small, slicing vertically and inflicting a light wound on the deerling's body.The blood gushed out from its wound, and under the pain, the deerling's fear towards Fang Yuan won and it rushed into the dark tunnel.Darkness soon engulfed it.Fang Yuan activated the Earth Communication Ear Grass again, this time the roots grew into the walls.His hearing amplified, and first he heard the deerling's footsteps, its heartbeat, and some other noise.Golden Centipede's cave is precarious, Earth Communication is the way to avoid the disaster...Fang Yuan knew in his heart that these noises were the movement sound of a centipede.In his ear, he could hear the deerling's cries.Evidently, it had gone into the cave and met the centipede.Fang Yuan could see the image in his mind, the flustered deerling attacked by a centipede swarm, completely engulfing it. The deerling turns around in fright, and as it kicks its young hooves it felt the sense of death approaching and gave cries for help.Uncountable number of centipedes climbed onto its body, and the deer laid on the ground, rolling and struggling.Only after a while later, its heartbeat stopped.The centipede army started to consume the deerling meat on its body.Fang Yuan's gaze shone as he heard a special sound.This sound was like a buzzing, like the turning on of a chainsaw; it was full of arrogance, dominance, and wildness.If a newbie heard this, they would be confused. But with Fang Yuan's experience, he could guess the identity of this sound at once.Rank three wild Gu worm — Chainsaw Golden Centipede!This was the worm king in the centipedes, the true killer in the centipede cave.Fang Yuan could completely imagine: A metre over in length, the breadth of two fists, coiling and slithering around the cave.On the two sides of its body, there is a row of sharp saw-like teeth. As it moved, the chainsaws also moved around rapidly, just like an electric chainsaw.The Chainsaw Golden Centipede's arrival caused the centipede army to quieten.It came ferociously, and wherever it went, the centipedes gave way, showing the half-body remains of the deerling.It climbed to the deerling's body, opening its mouth and consuming the deer blood and deer meat, and when it got to the bones, it coiled its body up and used the chainsaws to lightly grind against the bones, turning it into powder easily."Even the White Jade Gu's defense cannot endure this Chainsaw Golden Centipede's attack. It seems that the Flower Wine Monk's intention is to make me use this Earth Communication Ear Grass and avoid the centipede. But I have the Spring Autumn Cicada, so to subdue this Chainsaw Golden Centipede, it is not impossible!" Fang Yuan had a thought in his head.He was overjoyed at this prey.The Chainsaw Golden Centipede was an outstanding Gu worm. If it was his to use, it would be another strong method of attack.Only that, in order to subdue this Chainsaw Golden Centipede, even a Rank four Gu Master would have to expend a lot of effort.Catching and killing are two things, the former is way harder than the latter.Wild Gu worms were all crafty, and if the Chainsaw Golden Centipede saw something amiss, it would burrow into the ground and escape. If a Gu Master did not have a burrowing method, how can he give chase?But Fang Yuan had the Spring Autumn Cicada, thus as long as he caught this Chainsaw Golden Centipede and released a hint of the Spring Autumn Cicada's aura, he would make the Gu worm cower and not dare to move.Spring Autumn Cicada was a Rank six, its aura was extremely powerful against Rank one to Rank four Gu worms. But against Rank five, it had less effect, and towards other Rank six, there was no deterrence force in it.This phenomenon is very interesting, but actually human society is just the same.Towards someone outstanding, people would envy, worship and admire. But to someone who is only slightly better performing, they would dare to offend, and was mostly competition and jealousy."I am only at Rank two middle stage now, hence to subdue this Rank three Chainsaw Golden Centipede, it is possible but still too early." Fang Yuan assessed.Rank two Gu Masters should use Rank two Gu worms which is the most appropriate, and most useful. Of course, Rank two Gu Masters can also own Rank three or even Rank four Gu worms.But this was not common.Firstly, the higher rank the Gu worm, the more expensive it is to feed it. Secondly, they become harder to use and require more cost when activating. Like a baby trying to wield a large hammer, if it forcefully tried to, it might pull a muscle due to the hammer's weight and smash its own leg."The deerling has already alerted the entire colony, it would take ten days to half a month for these centipedes to calm down. After my testing, the thought in my heart has been affirmed, but I have no chance to strike yet. Why don't I slow down and give it some time, this matter cannot be rushed."Fang Yuan left his thoughts here and closed the rock door again. He then left using the Stealth Scales Gu.

Chapter 130. Clansmen are still more reliable | Reverend Insanity

Dark clouds covered the sky, casting shadows over the entire Qing Mao mountain, seemingly signifying the coming of a storm.On a remote mountain side, a dozen robust lightning wolves drew back the corners of their mouth and made low roars. They had surrounded Fang Yuan.These wolves had a healthy body and were not like the crippled wolves.Any other Rank two Gu Master would be desperate if they were caught in such besiegement, alone. However, the situation was quite opposite right now.Fang Yuan was standing on the spot, his expression calm. Instead, these lightning wolves that were surrounding him were slightly nervous and afraid.The battle had already continued for a while and the ground was soaked with blood. Several lightning wolves had collapsed on the ground, and the silence showed Fang Yuan's battle accomplishments.Kill!Fang Yuan shouted inwardly, he took the initiative to attack even though he was the one surrounded. His foot pushed the ground as he pounced towards a lightning wolf on his left side.This lightning wolf immediately shrunk back a small step in fear, but then its vicious personality was stimulated; it made a powerful jump and attacked Fang Yuan.It opened its mouth in the air, revealing the many sharp wolf teeth that filled its mouth.Fang Yuan laughed loudly; he didn't evade but just swung his right arm.Whoosh.An eerie-blue moonblade flew horizontally through the air and struck the lightning wolf's open mouth.There was only a ripping noise, this unfortunate lightning wolf was instantly cut apart into two – from its mouth to tail – by this moonblade.Boiling blood spurted out and poured like a rain of blood.Fang Yuan's whole body flashed with white jade light as he charged through the blood rain and rampaged within the wolf pack.The lightning wolves reacted, they attacked him from all sides. They opened their mouths and tore at him but were blocked by the White Jade Gu's defense, causing their own teeth to be broken.Their claws were also of no use.Fang Yuan punched and kicked, and the lightning wolves were sent flying under his enormous strength of two boars. Some lightning wolves had their skulls directly smashed and died on the spot. Fang Yuan grasped the upper hand in this battle.But good things don't last forever, for his primeval essence was being used quickly.Fang Yuan's aptitude was only C grade and his cultivation was at Rank two middle stage currently. The primeval essence in his aperture was not even fifty percent.He looked at his declining primeval essence, but there were still several lightning wolves remaining. He had no choice but to use — Stealth Scales Gu!His body gradually disappeared like the ripples in the water. In a blink of an eye, there was no more trace of him.The lightning wolves were at their wits' end, and they gave off furious howls and started searing the area but didn't find anything.Fang Yuan had not gone far. He gazed at the lightning wolves' movements while absorbing primeval stones to recover his primeval essence and also maintaining the concealment of the Stealth Scales Gu at the same time.Lightning wolves had extraordinary eyesight but their sense of smell were not sharp. The Stealth Scales Gu just so happened to be their bane.When Fang Yuan's primeval essence recovered to thirty percent, the lightning wolf pack finally retreated unwillingly.Fang Yuan didn't have a movement Gu worm, so if the lightning wolves really retreated, he would definitely not be able to catch up to them with his speed. Thus, he removed the concealment of the Stealth Scales Gu and became visible.Hooooowl!The lightning wolves saw Fang Yuan and as if he had killed their fathers, they rushed at him.Fang Yuan sneered. He waited till the lightning wolves were in front of him, then he suddenly struck with his right hand.His right fist was covered with a layer of faint white jade light which was extremely hard. The punch ferociously struck a lightning wolf's lower back.Crack. A crisp sound was heard immediately and this unlucky lightning wolf was sent flying by Fang Yuan, its lower back fractured.It fell on the ground and crazily struggled while letting out miserable howls, but it could no longer get up.Fang Yuan had recovered sufficient primeval essence and with his formidable fighting strength, he killed four more lightning wolves in a few moments.The remaining several lightning wolves lost their fighting spirit and looked at Fang Yuan with fear. They whimpered and then tucked their tails and escaped.Fang Yuan didn't chase after them.He couldn't compare to these lightning wolves in speed; chasing was pointless.The ground was filled with wolf corpses and they were all Fang Yuan's spoils of war. But Fang Yuan was cautious, he didn't hurry to take out the lightning wolves' eyeballs.Earth Communication Ear Grass!He got down on his hands, his right ear close to the earth. Roots grew out from the ear and pierced the soil.His hearing strength amplified instantly; he could scout anything within a three hundred step radius.Many sounds entered his ear, but there were no sounds of wolf packs or the sounds of other Gu Masters moving about."It is safe for the moment." Fang Yuan let out a breath of relief. He took out a dagger and began to dig out the eyeballs of the lightning wolves.He only handed over a small part of these eyeballs and hid the rest.If he handed all of them, it would no doubt attract suspicions and even result to secret investigations. Fang Yuan wanted to prevent such inconveniences as much as possible.Fang Yuan immediately left after digging out all the eyeballs of these lightning wolves.When he had killed two more wolf packs like this, the sky was already covered with thick dark clouds. Strong wind blew, blowing through the pine forests, creating a green wave in the mountain along with the rustling of the leaves.Hoooowllll…Faint howls of large numbers of lightning wolves echoed within the wind.Fang Yuan's expression slightly paled; according to his previous life's memories, today was the day the wolf tide truly broke out.He used the Earth Communication Ear Grass again but didn't hear the rapid advancement of the lightning wolves.He wasn't surprised, but instead became calm.This meant that there was at least over a three hundred step gap away between him and the lightning wolves. This distance along with his own speed and the knowledge of the topography, sufficed to let him reach the village safely."These lightning wolves are cunning, choosing to attack in such weather. The noise from the strong wind and the sounds from the pine forest will mask their movements to a great degree," Fang Yuan sighed inwardly, then ran towards the village with his greatest speed.After running for hundreds of meters, he bumped into a five person Gu Master group."Hey, you are Gu Yue Fang Yuan!" A young Gu Master in the group raised his eyebrows when he saw Fang Yuan and greeted him in an odd way.This Gu Master was Gu Yue Peng, Fang Yuan's classmate. During the academy period, he had suffered from Fang Yuan's bullying and extortion.Fang Yuan indifferently glanced at him before brushing past him without pausing, not giving him a chance to speak again."Bastard!" Gu Yue Peng was stunned, then a stifled feeling rose up in his heart and his speed slowed down.He didn't get the chance to ridicule Fang Yuan."Little Peng. Don't slow down. We need to hunt at least fifty lightning wolves today to preserve our rank in the battle merit board!" The group leader spoke.Gu Yue Peng immediately restrained his furious expression and quickly followed the group members."My group is ranked seventy-five in the battle merit board. That Fang Yuan is ranked at beyond two hundred. This difference is like that of heaven and earth! I am also quite fortunate to have such a caring senior as the group leader. From the start of the wolf tide till now, I have exchanged part of the battle merits to get a Gu worm. My future is bright, how could Fang Yuan compare to me?"Gu Yue Peng calmed down a lot when he thought of this, even feeling blessed at that."In this world, what can one accomplish by fighting alone? Many hands make light work, unity is the greater power. It is still the clansmen that are reliable! Borrowing the clan's strength, we newbies can safely grow up. That Fang Yuan is an idiot, he really thinks he is a hero. He resolved the problem of the Rank Five River Swallowing Toad only by luck and he is putting on airs. Although he has become a group leader, he hasn't recruited any group members, serves him right to be ranked last! Haha. Anyway, with his eccentric personality, how will he recruit any group members?"Gu Yue Peng's movement became more relaxed.Strangely, all along the way, they hadn't run into any wolf packs.Gu Yue Peng raised his head to look at the sky, it was afternoon but the sky was already dusky as if it was evening.The wind blew, and the dark clouds densely covered the sky and moved rapidly, brewing thunder and rainstorm.However, Gu Yue Peng was not afraid, a mocking smile appearing on his mouth as he thought, "Hahaha, so Fang Yuan was hurriedly rushing back because he was worried of this rainstorm? What a coward, what is there to be afraid of a rainstorm?"Right at this time, the group leader's face suddenly paled, he opened his mouth and sucked in a deep breath."Sir group leader, what happened?" Other four members naturally noticed this.In this Gu Master group, the group leader was in charge of scouting. Although he was also a Rank two Gu Master, his scouting Gu worm didn't have as great a radius as Fang Yuan's Earth Communication Ear Grass.His face was deathly white right now and he had no wish to give detailed explanation."Run, quick!" He shouted with terror and amidst other group members' astonished gazes, he turned around and ran."Follow the group leader!!" Other group members were not foolish, they quickly reacted and broke into a run.Hoooowllll——!Wolf howls came from behind them continuously. From these noises, they knew there was more than a thousand lightning wolves!Everyone in the group was pale, they breathed heavily and used all their strength to run."Wait for me!" Gu Yue Peng sprinted with all he had but was still the last; he lost his composure and started screaming for help.He felt the breathing sounds of the lightning wolves behind his back.But what made him despair was the group leader who normally showed great consideration to him, didn't even turn his head back. The teammates who used to pat their chests and speak of brotherhood and sentiments ignored his shouts.Houuu!Gu Yue Peng suddenly heard a wolf howl right next to him.In the next moment, he felt an enormous force pressed on his back and knocking him down.He tumbled on the ground; the fall had made him dizzy.He subconsciously turned around to try to resist.Boom!A lightning snake flashed through the air.In the darkness, a bold lightning wolf's figure immediately became visible.Its body was twice the size of a normal lightning wolf, the hair in its body erect. It opened its mouth and revealed its silver white sharp fangs.Gu Yue Peng's pupils shrank to a needle size, a thought echoing within his mind—"Hundred beast king!"The wolf pack's scale in the wolf nest was enormous; not only were there three myriad beast king level thunder crown wolves, there were also hundred beast king level bold lightning wolves and thousand beast king level frenzy lightning wolves.In the very next second, the bold lightning wolf opened its mouth and with a crack sound, Gu Yue Peng's whole head was gnawed off.Fresh blood and brain matter splashed. The bold lightning wolf lowered its head and began to swallow the blood from Gu Yue Peng's neck and gnawed at his fatty meat.Countless lightning wolves came from behind it and rushed ahead.Rumbling sounds continued incessantly.Pitter-patter, heavy rain also started pouring.The true wolf tide had begun!
