Chapter 206. Becoming the leader | Reverend Insanity

The sun hung brightly in the blue skies and white clouds.Sunlight shone on the land as Yellow Dragon River flowed, with a dense forest beside the river, forming an ocean of greenery.On the beast-trap tree's crown, vines hung as eight or nine leaves formed a cage, like a gathering of seashells standing tall.Suddenly among one of the cages, there was intense shaking.Pew.A bright red moon blade shot out from there, tearing the leaves apart.A young girl in light colored clothing, shrouded in a white colored armor on her body, emerged from the leaf cage.She was agile, her feet landing on some branches on the trees, moving quickly as she jumped down, eventually landing safely on the ground.It was Bai Ning Bing.Throughout the process, the beast-trap tree did not move, as if it was dead.Bai Ning Bing looked at this beast-trap tree, thinking of what Fang Yuan had said to her the previous night."Towards any prey that escaped, the beast-trap tree will not attack further. Because any prey that can escape, is not something the tree can deal with. Even without intelligence, the instinct of the beast-trap tree can allow it to adapt and survive better in the wild.""Achoo."Bai Ning Bing could not help but sneeze, as she rubbed her nose, she observed the surrounding and checked out her location.In this beast-trap forest, most leaf cages were hanging high up in the tree crown like shiny green seashells."It seems that the blood smell on the beach has attracted many wild beasts. The beast-trap tree had a great harvest last night," Bai Ning Bing thought in her heart as she stretched her limbs, cracking her neck.She had an uncomfortable sleep last night — the crocodile's corpse was hard and tough. Coupled with the cold night, although she was extremely tired, she was woken up by the cold several times.Thus, with huge eyebags, she was in a bad condition mentally. But after cultivatiing for a while, her stamina had recovered by more than half.At this moment, she was standing in an area with sunlight, using the sunlight to dispel the coldness in her body."Bai Ning Bing, let me out." A voice was heard, none other than Fang Yuan. He did not need to use the Earth Hearing Communication Grass to notice the commotion.Bai Ning Bing glanced at another beast-trap tree. On this tree crown, the leaf cage that had captured Fang Yuan was still at the same spot.She laughed inwardly, not replying, instead closing her eyes and resting while bathing in the sunlight, delaying on purpose.Fifteen minutes later, she shot out a blood colored moonblade, cutting the vines apart.The seashell-like leaves scattered on the ground as they tore and dispersed.Bai Ning Bing slowly walked over, using another blood moonblade, cutting the leaves as Fang Yuan moved his way out of the cage."What's with the delay? I woke up ages ago, and even managed to cultivate for a while." Fang Yuan's face was gleaming, looking extremely refreshed.The clothes and cloak that he took out last night had already been kept.Bai Ning Bing snorted. Fang Yuan's current situation was beyond her expectations.She had thought that Fang Yuan would be like her, not being able to sleep while feeling hungry and cold. Thus she delayed his release, trying to torture him.But to think that his condition was at its peak!"It's getting late, we have to start moving. Let's eat first." Fang Yuan shot out the tusita flower, taking out the coal stone, iron rack, iron pot, water bottle and dried biscuits etc.He moved quickly, cooking a pot of meat stew in a short while.Next he searched around, finding a large number of mushrooms under the cover of the beast-trap tree.These tree shrooms were long, dry and thin, looking dark purple or black.Bai Ning Bing looked at Fang Yuan as he put these into the pan, questioning, "Wild vegetation cannot be eaten without caution, they might be poisonous.""Yup, you're right." Fang Yuan nodded. "Then don't eat."Bai Ning Bing laughed coldly, "If you get poisoned, I do not have a healing Gu worm."Fang Yuan indifferently took out a ladle, drinking a huge mouthful of meat soup under Bai Ning Bing's close watch.Bai Ning Bing snorted.Only until Fang Yuan drank five to six mouthfuls of soup did she assure herself that there was no danger in the soup.After drinking from the ladle, her eyes shone.Compared to yesterday, this stew had a much fresher and sweeter flavor!She directed her gaze towards the tree shrooms in the soup. Evidently, the difference was due to these mushrooms.She could not help but look at Fang Yuan as he sat on a rock, drinking soup with his head lowered as he ate the dry biscuits, full of vigor.Although their sleeping condition was the same, Bai Ning Bing compared it to her own pathetic state and felt a trace of admiration towards Fang Yuan in her heart, no matter how much she denied it.Of course, if she knew that Fang Yuan had secretly taken out his cloak and clothes to keep warm, then she would have had a different feeling all together.Fang Yuan felt her gaze landing on him.But he did not raise his head, only smiling lightly, pretending he did not notice it and continued eating.Ever since Qing Mao mountain where Bai Ning Bing resolutely saved him, Fang Yuan felt that pure demonic nature in her.Demons are crazy, impervious to reason, adamantly walking on their own path. Bai Ning Bing's demonic nature gave Fang Yuan some ideas on how to make use of her.But this person, Bai Ning Bing, was also complex.On one hand, she was too tender. After getting new life and solving the problem of the Northern Dark Ice Soul physique, she did not want to give up anymore, enjoying life and not resolving to die.But on the other hand, her demonic nature made her pursue excitement, thus having a completely unrestrained personality. She did not fear death, and if death was exciting enough, she would chase after it.Such a person is like a young dragon, full of curiosity towards the world, carrying an unrestrained nature, and whose wildness was untamable. She had her own path, her own ambitions and aspirations.Bai Ning Bing had not fully grown into a demon lord; she was merely a demon child now. But this true demon will never change her path, and her direction cannot be altered, and she definitely will not submit to anyone.True demons are only loyal to themselves, moving in the darkness alone, walking their own paths.True demons will admire other people, but they will never submit.A true demon is the lord of their own, the supreme existence!Fang Yuan understood Bai Ning Bing because Fang Yuan understood himself. He knew that Bai Ning Bing would never submit to him, but not submitting does not mean she couldn't be subdued. While not able to change her path, it does not mean she cannot be used.If Fang Yuan had Rank three cultivation, he would not need her. But with only Rank one initial stage now, Bai Ning Bing's value was great.Of course, wanting to subdue her and make use of her, some efforts needed to be put in.Bai Ning Bing was smart and arrogant, and could not be forced. Only through some small matters, or external influence to exert pressure on her, can she slowly be tamed.Secretly taking out clothes to keep warm, was not because Fang Yuan is petty. Earlier Bai Ning Bing purposely delayed the time, and Fang Yuan did not pursue it; it is not because he is magnanimous."To subdue Bai Ning Bing, I need to spend a lot of time. But I'm in no rush, let's take it slow, I need time to recover my cultivation."After the two ate, it was near noon already.On the ground, there were footprints of wild beasts all over. The two continued moving, as Bai Ning Bing paved the way towards the southeast direction.The deeper they went, the taller the trees in the forest. Earlier there were only beast-trap trees around three to four metres tall, but gradually, they became five to six metres tall, and at times there were seven to eight metre tall king trees, like a crane among a flock of chicken.Of course there were also dying tree branches that had fallen onto the ground, filled with green moss. Or at some areas, there were budding leaves, or broken wood, split apart by lightning, showing the fury of the heavens.These great beings grew in close proximity in this area, shrouding the heavens.The deeper one went, the colder it got.The strong sunlight was blocked by the lustrous tree leaves, and only a tiny ray could penetrate, creating large shadows in the forest.The wind blew, and the tree leaves made a swish sound, as shadows moved like shattered gold.In the forest, not all was peaceful.At times, there would be deer, foxes, rabbits and other animals moving around.Most were birds, all sorts of birds, either in groups of threes or fives, or a large flock flying in the sky. Others stood on tree branches as they sang out in harmony.Sometimes, there would be the roaring of tigers from far away.The two moved and stopped, relying on the Earth Hearing Communication grass to avoid many dangers. But some areas could not be avoided, thus Bai Ning Bing's battle strength was needed to force their way through.Rank three cultivation is already sufficient to deal with problems in the wild.NIght descended again, and Fang Yuan found a safe camping spot; it was a stone hill.Bai Ning Bing was extremely tired, falling asleep immediately even on the rough sharp rocks.On the second day when she woke up, her body ached all over and even her head could not rotate properly, having gotten a stiff neck. Her sneezing also became more frequent; it was obvious she caught a cold.Fang Yuan took all these into consideration as they continued on their journey.They moved extremely slowly, because there was no movement-type Gu to travel. Previously, Fang Yuan used the Thousand Li Earthwolf spider and Bai Ning Bing used the White Form Immortal Snake Gu; both were mobile Gu that were Rank five. Unfortunately one died and the other escaped.But Fang Yuan was not in a hurry — his cultivation was weak and he needed time to cultivate.Every time there was a break when they travelled in the day, even during rest he would grab every second to cultivate.At night, he would cultivate into late night.A few days later, Bai Ning Bing got sick, catching a cold. Her head hurt and her battle strength fell rapidly, also getting a fever.Fang Yuan had to stop and use the medicine in the tusita flower on her, as well as some medical paste to apply on her body. Although they were burning on the skin, they helped to remove the chill in her body.Only after resting for six days did Bai Ning Bing recover.This illness was a huge lesson to her. During the period, she was drowsy and barely had any strength in her body, not even able to apply the paste herself. It was Fang Yuan who helped her."If not for Fang Yuan, I'd be in a critical position this time…" After Bai Ning Bing recovered, she sighed inwardly. Not matter how much she did not want to agree with it, it was the truth.In the past, her tone was tough and was very aggressive. But after this matter, she became much quieter, often keeping silent; at times, she could go for half a day without speaking.The less she spoke, the more Fang Yuan led and his authority rose. This way, he slowly became the leader among the two.

Chapter 207. Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant | Reverend Insanity

Time passed quickly.Half a month later, Bai Ning Bing grew thinner but her body radiated a strong elite aura.Her concentration was better, and her blue eyes shone with brilliance as she observed around.Undeniably, she had adjusted to this primal life, and learnt much from this experience.Fang Yuan knew: Although Bai Ning Bing was solemn, it does not mean she admitted defeat.Her heart was motivated to learn seriously and try hard to adapt. At times, she would refute some of Fang Yuan's ideas, and although they were still rather shallow, she had gone past her initial naivety.Fang Yuan could feel Bai Ning Bing improving by the day.But this situation was not unexpected. To subdue Bai Ning Bing, it was not easy; any true demon would have the spirits to resist greatly.Under the blazing sun, the two hid in the shaded forest as they carefully observed the mountain valley.In the valley, there was a huge crocodile, sleeping peacefully.A lava crocodile.The size of three elephants placed together. Its body was covered in dark red scales, and its four thick strong legs support its humongous body. A crocodile tail glowed in a metallic lustre as it reached almost 10 metres tall.Most importantly, on its back there are two lumps, like two mini volcanoes. As it breathed, two columns of black smoke rose from the lumps, varying in intensity."This lava crocodile is a thousand beast king! To eliminate it, the risk is too great." Bai Ning Bing stared with wariness.On a thousand beast king, there are Rank three wild gu worms. Together with the beast king's strong body physique, even Rank three peak stage Gu Masters would have difficulty finding victory in a 1v1."Great risks greater rewards! It is not easy to find a crocodile in the forest. Crocodile strength gu needs crocodile meat to feed on, we have less than half left now. Let's test out this crocodile's strength first." Fang Yuan said.Lava crocodile lived underground in groups. Only the beast king have the strength to get to the surface and breathe in fresh air, enjoying the sun.Bai Ning Bing gritted her teeth, standing up.After getting the crocodile strength gu, she had been using it. Now her strength was greatly increased, but there was still a distance from the strength of one crocodile, the increment was not completely done yet.The lava crocodile was asleep, but when Bai Ning Bing got around 50 steps away from it, it opened its red golden eyes.Plop!It supported its body as it turned its head, two gushes of hot air coming out from its nose.Bai Ning Bing's expression was solemn, activating the canopy gu, but still feeling a strong feeling of heated air gushing at her face.She did not take out the chainsaw golden centipede, but shot out the blood moonblade.The Rank three moonblade hit the back of the lava crocodile, shaving off some scales and succeeded in angering the lava crocodile king.It aimed accurately at Bai Ning Bing, opening its huge mouth and shooting out a dark red lava fireball.The lava fireball was the size of a stonemill, Bai Ning Bing did not dare to take it head on, and dodged.Bam!Lava fireball drew an arc in the sky, landing on the mountain rocks.In an explosion, shards of mountain rocks flew apart as the flames burnt.A small sized mushroom cloud floated into the sky before dissipating. At the explosion area, a huge crater was created, and inside fresh lava was still flowing as they slowly cooled down."Rank three lava explosion gu." Fang Yuan seeing this, concluded in his heart.…Few minutes later, Fang Yuan threw down a rope from above the cliff, and pulled Bai Ning Bing up.Lava crocodile king growled several times, but did not give chase. Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing's figure vanished as it continued to lay on the ground, enjoying its sunbath once again.This is because Bai Ning Bing's attacks were merely probing. The lava crocodile king did not find her a threat, only thinking that she was an intruding wild beast, thus chasing her away."This is a lava crocodile king, with three Gu worms inside it. One lava explosion Gu, one flame stomach Gu, and one accumulating ash Gu, all three are Rank three Gu worms. Covering attack, defense and healing, all three basic aspects are assured." Leaving the valley, Fang Yuan concluded what he observed.Bai Ning Bing frowned deeply. She herself had probed earlier, and knew that to kill this crocodile king, it was extremely difficult and was near impossible."Nevermind that lava explosion Gu, even the the flame stomach Gu's defense cannot be broken by Blood Moon Gu. Only the Chainsaw Golden Centipede can do it when it gets close. But if we really did that to destroy the flame stomach, the centipede would be crippled as well. These days, after using it to kill enemies, the razors were already in bad shape. Plus, even if we break the defenses, there is still the accumulating ash Gu that can heal the crocodile king. Its stamina is definitely greater than both of us combined, in a battle of attrition we would definitely lose. Most importantly it can burrow underground and go back to its nest, we cannot stop it from leaving." Bai Ning Bing said.Fang Yuan nodded: "Your analysis is right, but I want to kill it even more now. Since ash Gu that eats ashes as food, it is easy to feed. It is also very suitable as our healing Gu worm.""Hmph, although the Gu worm is good, we need to live to enjoy it. Although you have the Yang Gu, don't think of manipulating me, ordering me to risk my life in such a combat," Bai Ning Bing snorted."We cannot fight it head on, but we can use intelligence. Nevermind about other wild beasts, but this lava crocodile king, we can use it to attract other beast kings and cause them to fight among themselves, and then reap the rewards from it," Fang Yuan said as he did not wish to give up due to difficulty.Creating a miracle out of the impossible, it was his favourite thing to do.If it was any other wild beast, unless they just migrated and arrived, they would have their respective territories. Among themselves, they would know each other's existence and would not cause any in-fighting.But the lava crocodile king was different.It normally lived underground, and sometimes came to the surface to breathe fresh air. Like the fish deep in the sea, jumping out of the surface of the water.Their existence was not known by other beast kings; they are like illegal immigrants.Unless it was a beast king like the lightning lycan, most did not have high intelligence. Once a beast king is lured over, they would feel threatened by one another and begin an intense battle.Once they both got injured, Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing would be able to 'rob the owner when his house is on fire'.Fang Yuan's words caused Bai Ning Bing's eyes to shine.She nodded. "We do not have a movement-type Gu, thus this plan is risky. But compared to fighting the lava crocodile king head on, we have greater hopes of success. We can give this a try."Like human society, among wild beasts, they each have their own territories.Stronger beast kings led beast groups and occupied areas with abundant resources. Just like how a human clan would occupy a spirit spring.Among forces, they would have interactions and as long as they ventured into other areas, they would have some findings.The next five days, Bai and Fang used the lava crocodile as the focal point as they searched around.The northwest direction which they came from did not need more scouting.Looping around the valley, towards the southeast direction, they found a white ape gang. The leader was an old white ape, a thousand beast king. A white ape's speed was fast, and if it was lured, the two would definitely get caught up and be surrounded. Thus, they had to give up their plans here.At the southwest direction, it was a rotting swamp. The smell was overbearing; this is the world of the poison.The poisonous snake lay below the roots of the tree, as fist-sized poisonous bees flew around in groups, and large spiders webs had black spiders around the size of a face.From the center of the swamp, there was frogs screeching. Fang Yuan deduced that it was a healing Gu that was the lord of this swamp — poison swallowing toad. It was Rank four, having a small body and fed on poison as food. If a Gu Master is poisoned, activating it to absorb the poison would result in a healing effect.Its speed was bad, but entering the deep parts of the swamp and luring it out is harder.Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing did not have any healing Gu. If they were bitten by a poisonous creature, it would result in much trouble. Furthermore, finding a tiny poison swallowing frog in a large swamp was extremely difficult.The two finally moved towards the northeast direction, finding a beehive as huge as a house.Inside there was a large number of a terrifying insect group — the frenzy needle bee.These bees were even greater trouble.Frenzy needle bee once becoming a Gu, had the ability to penetrate all things. That is to say, even with Bai Ning Bing's Sky Canopy Gu protection, it would be pierced by the Rank three frenzy needles.The winds howled in the night.Winds blew into the mountain caves as the campfire flickered in response.This was a small mound, and a cave was found inside.THis cave did not have an optimum location, first it did not face against the wind, thus winds blew into the cave and caused it to be very moist. Next the top was not covered, like a well as the stars in the skies could be seen.Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing were solemn, sitting around the fire.Fang Yuan was expressionless while Bai Ning Bing sighed in disappointment, "These few days we explored the surroundings completely, although your idea is great, we have no suitable targets. It seems we can only give up on the lava crocodile king.""Plans are made by men, but success is decided by the heavens, we have insufficient strength, thus we can only rely on luck for some things. Nevermind, I still wanted to raise the crocodile strength Gu, but it seems we cannot kill the lava crocodile king. Tomorrow we will set off, and continued towards Bai Gu mountain." Fang Yuan nodded helplessly.But at this time!Suddenly from the outside, the lava crocodile king's furious growls could be heard."What happened?""It is that lava crocodile king!"The two made eye contact as they left the cave, looking towards a faraway place.Only to see that in the valley, rainbow colors were shining as the flames burnt brightly, giving off an imposing aura.In the brilliant rainbow light, a pheasant as large as a mountain showed its body. Its crown shone like gold, erecting highly. The feathers on its body shone in all colors, changing all the time and giving an out of this world brilliance."Oh no, it is the Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant, a myriad beast king level bird! The lava crocodile king is done for," Fang Yuan said immediately"Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant?" Bai Ning Bing was perturbed."This is a lone travelling myriad beast king, able to fly in the skies, only landing to find food. Divine pheasant is low in numbers, they have all sorts of rainbow Gu in their bodies. Once they battle, the skies would be filled with rainbow lights, shining in five to seven different lights. Sigh, we can't get the lava crocodile king anymore. Let's hurry in, this divine pheasant is extremely sharp eyed like an eagle. If it finds us and comes for the killing, we would be in great trouble." Saying so, Fang Yuan retreated into the cave.Bai Ning Bing bit her lips as she followed closely behind.

Chapter 208. Escape | Reverend Insanity

An hour later, the lava crocodile king cried out one last time before it went silent.Soon after, Bai Ning Bing and Fang Yuan heard the sound of the Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant pecking its food.But Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant 's appetite was huge, and one lava crocodile king could not satisfy its hunger.This night, Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing did not sleep.After the lava crocodile king's cries, they heard the white ape's screaming, the poison swallowing toad's screech, and the fluttering of the bee groups. Most importantly, there was the Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant's loud cry.Only until evening did the Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant fly into the skies, drawing a rainbow behind its path.Seeing the trail of the rainbow disappearing in the sky, Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing finally dared to walk out of the cave.The two came to the original valley.The valley was completely wrecked, half destroyed. The lava crocodile king laid belly side-up on the ground, as dead as it could be.Its stomach was pried open by the Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant, and the flesh and intestines within were all eaten. Only its remaining skeleton held together by the dark red crocodile skin was left.The two searched for a while.They soon found a red glass fragment — this was the remains of the flame stomach Gu.Evidently, the lava crocodile king activated the flame stomach gu for defense, but it was forcefully defeated by the Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant , causing the flame stomach gu to be destroyed.As for the other two Gu; lava explosion and accumulating ash Gu, they were nowhere to be found.This was nothing strange.Once the host dies, the Gu worms inhibiting the wild beasts' bodies will leave and roam around like they've lost their homes.Accumulating ash Gu was a very ideal healing Gu, perfect for Fang Yuan's situation.But things did not go according to one's will most of the time.Not obtaining the accumulating ash Gu was within Fang Yuan's expectations. But, they did not return empty-handed.There was still some flesh left in the lava crocodile king's corpse.The Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant ate most of the corpse, but left behind some scraps that Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing could take.After working for an afternoon, they finally cut out all the meat and stored it in the tusita flower."These crocodile meat is enough to feed the crocodile strength Gu for three months. Let's explore other areas."Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing came to the territory of the white apes.The dense forest earlier had white ape groups playing and swinging around.But now everywhere there was broken trees, with white ape limbs in the mix, some old, crippled or young apes defended the corpses of their kin as they cried out loud, the entire forest covered in an atmosphere of sadness and devastation.The Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant had caused a catastrophe to this thousand beast group the night before. Right now only two or three hundred were left, and the last few hundred beast king white apes were all injured.Bai Ning Bing stared with shining eyes, "Right now the white ape group is at their weakest, shall we attack?"Fang Yuan stopped her.Not that he pitied these white apes, but knew that in a way, they were even more dangerous now."An army burning with righteous indignation is bound to win; don't mess with these white apes. Once you do, they'll attack in rage, relentlessly attacking until we're dead. Those few hundred beast kings, although they are injured, it is not something you can deal with alone."Bai Ning Bing hearing so, looked at Fang Yuan before giving up on her plan to attack.The two moved towards the southwest area; towards the rotten swamp.The swamp had turned into a completely different sight, ravaged by the Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant.Their living environment had been greatly destroyed, and the swamp's major forces were redistributed. Although the Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant left, the swamp was not in peace. All sorts of poisonous beings were killing each other, in chaos.Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing stood at the fringe of the swamp; in only a while, they saw three battles occurring.One sight was of two brightly colored poisonous snakes battling, until one was swallowed by the other. But not long after, a crab-sized scorpion came and stabbed the poisonous snake to death.The second battle was between a poison powder moth and an eerie blue toad. When battle ensued, the toad stretched its tongue and swallowed the moth. A moment later, the moth died of suffocation in the toad's mouth, but the toad was also poisoned to death by the powder.The third battle was between a face-sized black spider, coming out from the mud. Its body was covered in ants, after a while the ants won, and completely devoured the spider.Seeing such a chaotic scene, Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing left immediately.Finally they came to the nest of the frenzy needle bee group.The house-like beehive had collapsed completely, the surroundings was quiet, not a single frenzy needle bee was left.The two got closer.Immediately, the fragrant smell of sesame entered Bai Ning Bing's nose as she sniffed, "What smell is that?""The smell of the beehive. Frenzy needle bee do not create honey, but their hives are a great Gu refinement material. At the same time, it is a kind of food that humans can consume directly." Fang Yuan said so, stretching his arm into the beehive.Crack.The beehive fragments were dark yellow color.Under Bai Ning Bing's curious gaze, he placed the beehive into his mouth, biting and crushing it in a few bites, swallowing it.The beehive tasted like biscuits on earth, fragrant and crispy.But undeniably, this naturally produced food was much more delicious than biscuits. It carried a light sweetness, not oily at all, but instead having a refreshing flavor."Mm, good taste!" Bai Ning Bing also took a piece to eat, and after consuming it, she felt her mouth salivating, the sweet flavor caused her frowning eyebrows to ease subconsciously."Our salted meat and dry biscuits are finishing. We should collect some beehives and store it in your tusita flower," Bai Ning Bing suggested.Fang Yuan looked at the sky, his expression slightly worried, "I have the same thought, but we have to move quickly.""You're worried that the blood smell of the lava crocodile king as well as the white ape's corpse will attract new wild beasts? Rest easy, there is no wind today, wild beasts will not be attracted over, at least not in the meantime. During this period, we can collect to our hearts' content," Bai Ning Bing laughed.Fang Yuan shook his head, about to speak when suddenly his expression changed.Buzzbuzzbuzz… The sound of bees buzzing and flying entered their ears.Bai Ning Bing looked at the sky immediately, only to see a thick cloud formed by numerous frenzy needle bees, attacking towards them.The frenzy needle beehive, although destroyed by Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant, and the most delicious piece of the beehive at the center was eaten, the frenzy needle bees were not reduced much in numbers.Frenzy needle bees could not cause damage to the Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant, so after the latter ate enough, it did not waste extra energy in exterminating these insignificant things.Frenzy needle bee group's house was destroyed, and because they had low intelligence, they started attacking the Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant.But once the Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant flew high into the sky, they no longer had the strength to pursue them, and were unable to continue chasing, thus they could only return to their hive and reconstruct their houses.Afterwards, they saw two youngsters standing in their house eating their hive.Under this situation, what hesitation was there?The fury towards the Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant earlier, was completely transferred to Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing.At once, numerous frenzy needle bees flapped their wings and rained down on the two!Bai Ning Bing was stunned."Why are you still not running?!" Fang Yuan turned around and left, taking huge strides.Being reminded like this, Bai Ning Bing immediately turned around and chased after Fang Yuan.The frenzy needle bee group was behind them, relentlessly chasing.Fang Yuan ran in front while Bai Ning Bing fell behind. They did not have a movement-type Gu, thus Bai Ning Bing was quickly caught by the bee group.Chink chink chink.Bai Ning Bing activated the Sky Canopy Gu, and a white armor appeared but flickered immediately, receiving almost a thousand attacks in just a moment.Frenzy needle bee's needle were tough as steel, extremely sturdy. Together with their high speed flying, it was no inferior to a needle rain attack.Large numbers cause a qualitative change.Bai Ning Bing's primeval essence continued to reduce; the bee group's attacks are not to be underestimated!What was more troubling, was that some of the frenzy needle bees had become Gu.Rank three frenzy needle bee Gu had piercing ability, so even the Sky Canopy Gu could not defend against it. Bai Ning Bing's back was quickly pierced and she bled, causing her to grunt in pain, while her running speed broke her usual limits due to the stimulation.Bai Ning Bing had never thought she could run so quickly on her own.With her speed, it looked like mountain rocks and trees came flying at her, and she had to concentrate with all her mind to dodge them; if she was tripped by anything, the bees would surround her at the first opportunity.Under such an attack, she was dead meat!With Bai Ning Bing behind him tanking the pressure, Fang Yuan's situation was much better.He activated his primeval essence, injecting them into his Carapace Gu at his back.The skin on his back became uneven, slightly bulging and becoming a tough and thick crocodile skin armor.Ordinary frenzy needle bees could not penetrate the crocodile skin armor, and the few bee Gu were attracted by Bai Ning Bing.After running for another fifteen minutes, the bees still chased relentlessly.Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing were panting as their speed started to reduce."There's hope, there's a lake in front!" As the situation turned dire, Fang Yuan suddenly shouted.Bai Ning Bing was overjoyed.Trees became less densely packed as a blue white light appeared, expanding within the greenery.The two rushed out of the forest, and a lake was seen.Fang Yuan did not hesitate, and with a plop, he jumped into the lake.Bai Ning Bing followed closely behind.Swish swish swish!Frenzy needle bees were bent on getting them, diving into the water as well.Bai Ning Bing's white armor shook intensely, as she received a large number of attacks.As the intense pain hit her, she bit her lips and paddled with her hands, swimming towards the deeper parts of the water.A moment later, Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing emerged from the opposite shore.The smell of the beehive on their bodies had been washed away, and when looking back at their original spot, there were large numbers of frenzy needle bees indignantly flying about, attacking the water out of frustration.Although the frenzy needle bees were small, they were resilient. Even if they fell into the lake, as long as it was not too deep, they would resurface."Damn it…" Bai Ning Bing cursed, still feeling the lingering fear from earlier.Her expression was ugly.Be it the Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant, or white ape group, or even the frenzy needle bee group, none of them were those she could deal with.If last night she was found by the Xuan Yuan Divine Pheasant, she would become its meal.Rank three cultivation in this cruel world of nature, was the bottom of the hierarchy."I've had enough, when will we reach Bai Gu mountain?""Shush, be quiet!" Fang Yuan's expression was solemn, he half-squatted as his finger touched the remains of a fire that had been put out earlier.Bai Ning Bing immediately frowned deeply.Undeniably, these were traces left behind by humans.

Chapter 209. Encountering a demonic Gu Master | Reverend Insanity

The lake water was still, reflecting the clear blue sky and white clouds.Even after losing the frenzy needle bee's chase, Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing's mood were solemn.Because in front of them, there was traces left behind that signified this area was once used by people to start a fire and cook meat.Earth Communication Ear grass!Fang Yuan willed and roots grew out of his ear, as they extended into the ground and dug their way in, Fang Yuan's hearing became many times stronger.After listening for a while, his expression loosened up, as there was no one ambushing in the vicinity.Soon after, he went to the remains of the fire and touched the ashes, not letting go of any evidence that he could find."The fire was started half a month ago, the other party is alone and should not be nearby." After a while, Fang Yuan concluded from his findings."Alone? Gu Masters from a clan have to travel in fives. It seems this person is a demonic Gu Master." Bai Ning Bing frowned as she sighed.If it was a Gu Master from a clan, they would be righteous Gu Masters, and there is hope of interaction. If it was a demonic Gu Master, once they meet a battle is assured.This situation, is not because "righteous people are kind, while demonic people are evil".But because when one is alone, they would display their true nature, there are no restraints in the wild, thus they act without reservation.Righteous Gu Masters, move in groups. When they handle matters, they will think about the opinions of the people with them, thus they would act more closely to society's norm.Demonic Gu Masters often moved alone, and were very vigilant, having a strong instinct towards danger. Without anyone to rely on, they would always act to determine and ensure their own safety.This was not good news to Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing.When meeting righteous clan-based Gu Masters, they could avoid battle. But if they met a demonic Gu Master, there would definitely fight, unless they displayed sufficient strength that would cause the demonic Gu Master to shrink in fear and suspicion.Unfortunately, Gu Masters that could roam around these wilderness alone have around Rank four cultivation, and special methods of their own. How many weaklings would there be?For Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing, one was a new Rank three while the other was Rank one initial stage. Without sufficient Gu worms to cover all grounds, even when they travelled in the woods, it was full of danger and every step was a difficult gamble.If they encountered a demonic Gu Master, they will most likely be done for."Thankfully we discovered the traces of this campfire, so from now on we should not blinding rush our journey, but recuperate and at least mend our current wounds back to full health," Fang Yuan said.Bai Ning Bing nodded. After being reminded, she also felt her back hurting.Fang Yuan summoned the tusita flower, taking out bandages and medicine, giving a large portion to Bai Ning Bing.Although the Carapace Gu's defensive area was small, usually being useless, this time it helped Fang Yuan by a lot.And because Bai Ning Bing attracted most of the firepower, Fang Yuan barely had any injuries.He quickly handled his wounds, and rushed over to help Bai Ning Bing.Bai Ning Bing took off her upper shirt. Numerous fingertip-sized holes filled her back, causing fear to whoever who saw it.Frenzy needle bee is Rank three, large in numbers and also having penetrating abilities; it countered the Sky Canopy Gu. But Bai Ning Bing also used the Ice Muscles Gu before, so with two layers of defense, her life was saved.Tsk tsk…Bai Ning Bing gritted her teeth, breathing in deeply as she endured the pain of cleaning the wound.Soon after, the injury was bandaged.Fang Yuan placed the empty medicine cans and the last remaining bandage into the tusita flower."We have little medication items left, the same with bandages. Even though we have been thrifty and even reused the bandages when we could, it seems we really need to find a healing Gu as soon as possible." Fang Yuan stood up with a solemn expression.Medication is an expendable item, and was difficult to make, and takes time to collect. If they had a healing Gu, not only would the effect be better, it also used primeval essence that can be naturally recovered.With this comparison, the superior one stood out easily.But an ideal Gu worm is too hard to find.The truth is, within this half a month, they encountered many chances, but they either had insufficient strength, or it was an inappropriate environment, lacking proper preparations to capture the Gu."We have to get a healing Gu! But before that, I have a problem here," Bai Ning Bing suddenly said."What problem?" Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows.Bai Ning Bing was naked above and she turned over and pointed to her chest, "Eh, these two lumps of meat, they are in the way. When I run they will jump all over the place, and even in battle they are a burden. I want to slice them off, but I'm worried the injury would be too severe. Without a healing Gu worm, I might get into even more trouble."She was the Bai clan genius, focused on cultivation. She barely knew anything outside of it, thus having even less concern towards females.Even though Bai Ning Bing had turned into a girl, she had lived as a guy for her entire life, thus she didn't care in her mind and did not treat this body as anything sacred.After all, she knew that the Yang Gu in Fang Yuan's possession could give her back the body of a male anyway.Thus, Bai Ning Bing had never thought of herself as a girl.Fang Yuan stared at her emotionlessly. "There will be too many problems with slicing them off, you can wrap them up.""Wrap what?" Bai Ning Bing asked."Use the bandage to wrap around your bosom and treat them like an injury. Then they will be fixed in place," Fang Yuan said.Bai Ning Bing's expression was helpless and anguished, sighing, "Sigh, that's the best I can do now."The sun gradually sank as the night sky descended.There were streams of wild beasts coming to the lake to drink water, and the two did not dare to stay there for long.Fang Yuan found a naturally formed cave at a nearby steep cliff. Although it was slightly cramped, it was safe. After clearing the birds living within it, the place became their temporary residence.Few days later, Bai Ning Bing's injuries recovered mostly.The two continued on their journey, towards Bai Gu mountain.But considering that mysterious demonic Gu Master, on this trip Fang Yuan was extra cautious, constantly stopping and using the Earth Communication Ear grass to check the surroundings.On the second day of their journey, their cautiousness reaped them good rewards.He found burnt wood under a tree, evidently caused by the demonic Gu Master.On the third day, they examined traces of an intense battle near a stream.The corpse of a large green python lay there, the meat fully eaten by wild beasts, leaving behind only a skeleton.The ground was full of its scales, and the stream even moved in a new path, after many trees were broken and chopped down.Fang Yuan observed for a while, his tone relaxing, "That demonic Gu Master once fought an intense battle here with the green python. This is a hundred beast king green python. To undergo such a fight, it seems that this demonic Gu Master also has Rank three cultivation."But even so, Fang Yuan did not want to meet with this demonic Gu Master. He would rather deal with unintelligent wild beasts or Gu Masters.Gu Masters have intelligence, and would use every bit of strength wisely. A Rank three demonic Gu Master has much greater threat to Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing compared to the Frenzy needle bee.But things do not go according to wishes, and on the afternoon of that day, the two found traces of the demonic Gu Master once again."This demonic Gu Master is injured. There is some flesh that was cut away, on the ground here, so it seems the Gu Master got poisoned," Fang Yuan said.On Earth, there are no poisonous pythons. But in here, they were extremely common.Upon hearing so, Bai Ning Bing's eyes shone brightly.Undeniably this was good news. The weaker the demonic Gu Master, the more advantageous it is for them.For the next few days, the trace left behind by the demonic Gu Master increased.With his 500 years of experience, Fang Yuan deduced that they were getting closer towards the injured demonic Gu Master."Be extra careful, I can deduce that this Gu Master's injury is getting more severe, and the green python's poison has severely infected his/her body. But because of this, a demonic Gu Master's attitude would easily become more extreme," Fang Yuan reminded Bai Ning Bing.Battle would definitely be handled by Bai Ning Bing. Fang Yuan's Rank one initial stage cultivation is useless.The greatest advantage now was that the enemy was out in the open, while Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing were hidden.The two moved with even more vigilance than before.They moved even more slowly, and moved with less distance than before.Eventually, on one afternoon, Fang Yuan opened his eyes, keeping the roots coming out of his ears, "I found that demonic Gu Master! That person is in that cave, at their last breath!"Just earlier, he heard the sound of human breathing in that cave."Strike while the enemy is weak!" Bai Ning Bing aspired to battle, revealing ruthlessness in her eyes.But she was stopped by Fang Yuan."Be patient. We do not need to strike. With this situation, in just a few days she will die of poison.""I see." Bai Ning Bing's killing intent reduced.But at this time."The two outside, why bother hiding. I've already found you." A weak voice came from the cave.Hearing this, it was clear that the demonic Gu Master was female.Fang Yuan's expression changed, immediately retreating."Don't you want my primeval stones, my Gu worms?" The voice came from the cave again.Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing moved even more quickly.Although the other party was weak, her tone was firm. There was definitely some traps put in place that allowed her to be fearless.Moreover, no one is foolish enough to risk it out with a dying person."Leaving after coming here? Hehe, there's no such easy way out, you shall all stay!" Suddenly, a body came out of the cave."All up to you." Fang Yuan's body flickered, hiding his presence.Bai Ning Bing clicked her tongue, activating the Sky Canopy Gu and summoning the Chainsaw Golden Centipede, engaging the enemy.The two fought for three rounds, and the demonic Gu Master was suppressed.She was a middle-aged woman without shoes, having large feet and thick black fur growing on her soles. Her face and limbs had a peculiar green color; it was caused by the green python's poison.After a moment, the demonic female Gu Master gradually could not contest. Suddenly, she stepped the ground firmly and jumped back into the cave.Bai Ning Bing chased after relentlessly."Don't chase her!" Fang Yuan suddenly reminded, but did not make it in time.Bam!A loud explosion occurred right under Bai Ning Bing's feet as her entire body was blown away.

Chapter 210. Plotting | Reverend Insanity

Rocks and fragments flew, as smoke rose into the air.Bai Ning Bing was sent flying to the ground, but with a jump, she stood up again.She had the protection of the Sky Canopy Gu and was uninjured, but the Sky Canopy Gu in her aperture took the impact, her white armor fading by at least 30%."What the fuck?" Bai Ning Bing cursed, concentrating and looking over.The explosion site had turned into a two to three metre crater.Inside the cave, the demonic female Gu Master laughed smugly, "Good! Even if I didn't kill you this time, come at me again if you have the guts, little woman!""Hmph," Bai Ning Bing snorted. Although she was furious, she was not an impulsive person.During the earlier explosion, although the Sky Canopy Gu protected her, if she took a few more hits, the Sky Canopy Gu would have been destroyed."What was that earlier? An explosion suddenly burst from the ground, so if I left the ground, would I be able to avoid such an attack?" Bai Ning Bing thought in her heart. She was not stupid, although naive and pure in some areas, and her battle instincts and wits were still at genius level."I do not have a flying Gu, and if I leap I am bound to touch the ground, no, I do not have to attack. This person's words earlier was trying to incite me to attack, hehe."Thinking so, Bai Ning Bing laughed darkly, "Do you think you are safe if you hide in the cave? I just have to camp here, you will come out eventually.""Hahaha, then wait all you want. I have prepared a large amount of food, and you are vulnerable to the weather outside, so let's see who will outlast the other!" The Demonic female Gu Master retorted.Bai Ning Bing laughed coldly, for the longer they dragged, the more beneficial it was for her. Because this demonic female Gu Master was poisoned by the green python, she would get weaker as time passed.But at this time, Fang Yuan cupped his fist at the demonic female Gu Master. "We met by coincidence in the wild, we are purely passing by. Sigh, making things difficult for you, is the same as making life hard for ourselves. I hope we do not meet again. Farewell!"Saying so, he turned around and left."Go where? She is only a Rank three Gu Master, as long as we grasp that explosion method, we are assured to win!" Bai Ning Bing frowned.Fang Yuan snorted, "You are also Rank three, but I am Rank one. Let's hurry on the journey, stop creating so much troubles. Better safe than sorry."Bai Ning Bing was stunned, but quickly understood Fang Yuan was acting. Although she did not know what he was planning, with her understanding of him, she decided to cooperate with him, pretending to be angry, "You are always so cowardly, sigh, nevermind, I'll spare your life."She looked at the demonic female Gu Master deeply, not hiding her killing intent. Soon after, she followed Fang Yuan into the woods, out of the demonic female Gu Master's field of vision.After they got enough distance, Bai Ning Bing broke the silence, "That explosion technique of hers is not a problem. When she fought me earlier, she did not use it. Only when she stepped into the cave and I got into range did the explosion occur. I'm guessing she buried the Gu ahead of time, and cannot move it. We can lure a group of wild beasts and use them to test out her traps."These words fully displayed Bai Ning Bing's talent for battle.But Fang Yuan laughed, asking instead, "Then what comes next?"Bai Ning Bing was stunned.Fang Yuan squinted his eyes, his eyes shining brightly, "According to what you said, luring a group of wild beasts to test her traps, so what? Forcing her into a dead end, once she knows she has no chance to survive, she will risk her life to battle, at least bringing one of us with her. Even if we survive, we will suffer losses.""Plus, even if we defeat her, she will carry the thought of 'not leaving anything valuable to us', and destroy all her Gu worms. For a Gu Master to destroy his own Gu worms, it only takes a thought. We have no method to prevent it, so after we kill her, we won't get any Gu worms. What benefit is there to us?"Bai Ning Bing frowned.Earlier, they had guarded against this demonic Gu Master, afraid of getting ambushed by her, it was to protect themselves. But once they found out that she was not too strong, their intentions changed completely—It was to kill this weakened demonic Gu Master, and take her Gu worms, strengthening themselves!Wild Gu worms were of all types, but those with suitable ranks and were easy to feed were few. A Gu Master's Gu worms were all carefully selected, considering all aspects. If they can be obtained, it would be much better than capturing wild Gu worms.But very few people can obtain Gu worms after killing their enemies.Other than dying in battle, Gu Masters just need one thought to order the Gu worm to destroy itself. Many of those defeated have enough time to react, and would not leave their Gu worms to the mortal enemies that kill them. It would not be hard to kill this demonic Gu Master. But to take all her Gu worms, it would be difficult."Don't you have a Plunder Gu?" Bai Ning Bing asked."One Plunder Gu can have little effect. Dealing with wild beasts is still fine, but against Gu Masters, to succeed we need to fulfill harsh conditions." Fang Yuan shook his head.Bai Ning Bing suddenly thought of something, worried. "If we leave like this and end up allowing her to escape easily, what would we do then?"Fang Yuan laughed heartily, saying confidently, "In the short period, she will not escape."Righteous Gu Masters, either clan or sect-based, would receive a degree of nurturing, and had higher quality.Conversely, demonic Gu Masters were often uneven in quality.Some were traitors of the righteous path, thus these people have been trained and have Gu Master foundations. However, some were farmers or hunters that obtained a chance to awaken their aperture, obtaining some inheritance and were considered half-baked."This demonic female Gu Master has a rough accent and poor fighting tactics. She does not have enough survival experience either. Everywhere she goes, she leaves behind traces, and even after getting injured, she does not conceal the blood traces. I see that her body is tough and healthy, having large hands and feet. She is most likely a farmer, only lucky to have gotten an inheritance."Fang Yuan continued analyzing, "That explosion earlier should be a Rank two grass Gu that she buried in advance, called the Charred Thunder Potato. No matter who steps on it, an explosion will occur. A farmer peasant, how much knowledge can she have? Getting python poison and being unable to cure it, with her worsening injuries, she feels frightened and unsafe, thus she subconsciously planted many Charred Thunder Potatoes in front of the cave.""If we force her, she might do some extreme things. But if we leave on purpose, she will have a breather and temporarily relax her emotions. She might even suspect whether or not did we truly leave. There are dangers outside, and she might encounter us. Meanwhile, those Charred Thunder Potatoes give her the greatest assurance. Thus in this short period, she is not going to leave."Bai Ning Bing was expressionless, listening quietly.As much as she denied it, she had to agree with Fang Yuan's analysis. What he said made sense, almost like he could see the events before him; she could not compare to him!"You analysed well, but she has poison on her, there is no way to drag. She will eventually leave the cave," Bai Ning Bing retorted.Fang Yuan nodded, pointing at his right ear, "Thus, we have to surveil her."His Earth Communication Ear grass Gu, although only Rank two, had much greater range than most Rank three Gu worms.Bai Ning Bing shook her head. "Hmph, your decision has problems too. Activating the Earth Communication Ear grass requires continuous primeval essence expenditure. Even if you have the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus and can recover primeval essence quickly, one person's effort is ultimately limited. You have to rest and sleep, you can't be checking on her all the time right?"Facing this suspicion, Fang Yuan rolled his eyes, "How come you're becoming stupid? There is one of her and two of us."Gu worms could be lent, so they could use the Earth Communication Ear grass Gu interchangeably, in intervals.Bai Ning Bing's expression froze, shame flashing across her eyes."Fuck! Such a simple issue, how could I not think of it?" She gritted her teeth, begrudging her own lowly mistake.Fang Yuan laughed secretly.The root of the matter was that Bai Ning Bing did not want Fang Yuan to suppress her, thus she subconsciously wanted to retort Fang Yuan as much as she could, instead causing her to lose her bearings instead.Fang Yuan was happy to see such retorts, for each time Bai Ning Bing failed, it would cause her to be subdued further.This submission is negligible, but it was a subtle influence, and even Bai Ning Bing herself could not detect it.One day when she finally realizes it, she would already be under Fang Yuan's rule.To Fang Yuan, this demonic female Gu Master was only one target, while Bai Ning Bing was the second target.*****Chen Cui Hua was shellshocked.She was originally a farmer, and one day when plowing the fields, she fell into a cave.In the cave, she found a corpse, and became a Gu Master after receiving the inheritance out of the blue.Gu Master!Chen Cui Hua never thought that one day she would become one of the esteemed lord Gu Masters herself!But after a short happiness, disaster ensued.A mountain leopard as large as a buffalo assaulted her village with green winds surrounding its body.The entire village was wiped out, and she was chased by the mountain leopard, but managed to escape due to her Gu worms.After roaming the wilderness for half a year, her Gu worms died out one by one, and finally, she encountered a large python. Although she killed it, she was also poisoned as a result.And today, she met two Gu Masters.This was the third time she met Gu Masters. The first two taught her a painful lesson, letting her learn how to protect herself.But she was still a half-baked Gu Master, severely lacking foundations.Thinking of the earlier battle, she panicked.She was not the girl's match!Luckily, she had buried many Charred Thunder Potatoes earlier. And thankfully, the male was meek and cowardly, choosing to leave.Chen Cui Hua saw their bodies vanish into the forest and breathed a sigh of relief.But she was not certain that they had truly left.Her investigative Gu worm could allow her to see everything within 350 steps. The clarity was as if they are right in front of her.But she did not have X-ray vision."I'll wait a few days, I'll go out after three days," Chen Cui Hua thought to herself. At this point, she had already learnt to be vigilant and patient.
