It was indeed very simple.
The group looked up at the sky, somewhat speechless.
“Speaking of which, I have the strength of a second layer Foundation Establishment Gu master, so why do I feel that there is such a huge difference between me and the second young master? You can easily kill enemies of a higher cultivation level, fighting like it is a game. I am already half-dead and tired from fighting a Gu master of the same cultivation level, it’s like let’s see who runs out of spirit essence first.”
“Sigh, am I not the same? I fought with a Gu master of the same cultivation level in the past. We fought for three days and three nights without a clear winner.”
“Brother, the second young master is a disciple of the Gu Immortal Sect. We cannot compare to him.”
“I don’t know when I will be able to catch up to the second young master, I feel that there is no hope in this life.”
Everyone sighed.
The group of people seemed to have been struck by Fang Yuan. What was originally something to be happy about actually made them feel a little depressed.
There was nothing they could do. Fang Yuan was clearly around the same age as them, and his talent wasn’t that great. Yet, his performance was so outstanding, and he had done something that they would never be able to do in this life.
It would be hard for anyone to accept this.
Fang Yuan did not care about this.
What he was thinking about now was to increase his strength.
After receiving Shi Hao’s guidance, the nine-turns rod technique seemed to have opened up in his mind, and his progress was very fast.
Now that he flipped through it again, he felt that he had touched the threshold of rank five, and could break through at any time.
Since he needed to rest for three days, Fang Yuan put all his energy into this rod technique, preparing to break through to another level.
At the same time, he did not forget to check on the progress of the Golden Silkworm Gu from time to time.
The next morning, there were already tens of thousands of all kinds of toxic creatures gathered in the pit, making people’s scalps tingle at the sounds of biting and tearing.
“Master, a few people came to investigate yesterday and I killed them.”
“Yes, got it.”
Fang Yuan did not care. It was probably the scouts from the nearby villages who came to see if the contents of the letter were true.
By night time, more than half of the tens of thousands of toxic creatures had been turned into broken limbs. Some were soaked in the human blood pool below, while others were swallowed into the bellies of other toxic creatures.
On the third day, Fang Yuan, who had broken through the fifth revolution of his rod technique, hurriedly came to this place. He found that there were less than ten toxic creatures still alive in the pit, each occupying an area. None of them dared to act rashly, and each of them ate the flesh under their feet.
Fang Yuan naturally would not let them develop so steadily.
He directly put a dose of strong material into the incense burner and threw it into the pit.
Immediately, all the poisonous creatures went crazy at the same time and began a new round of fighting.
In the end, a lizard was the victor.
At this point, the species is no longer recognizable. Its body was covered in wounds, and the poisons had changed its appearance.
Fang Yuan observed carefully.
The blood Qi in the pool began to take effect, constantly replenishing its lost vitality.
Along with a large amount of mixed poison, it was swallowed by the lizard.
Soon, its body and shape changed significantly.
Its tail became the sting of a scorpion.
Its mouth grew sharp mouthparts.
The most ridiculous thing was that on its back, small bumps grew one after another, filled with poison glands.
This made Fang Yuan frown slightly.
“Looking like this, I don’t really want to keep you in my acupoints.”
Although he said that, Fang Yuan’s hands were not slow, and he still shot out a stream of spirit essence toward the Golden Silkworm Gu.
However, the Golden Silkworm Gu only twisted its body slightly, and it easily broke free from his restraint.
“Oh?”
After all, it was refined as an adult worm, and it had fought countless battles, so it was expected that it would resist.
But what Fang Yuan did not expect was that it broke free when he was using his liquid spirit essence.
It was more than five times stronger than regular essence, but this Golden Silkworm Gu broke free so easily?
“Looks like I have to be serious.”
Fang Yuan’s eyes flashed red, and with a wave of his hand, another stream of liquid spirit essence flew out, “Let’s test the power of the triple amplification!”
Boom!
The spirit essence arrow let out a loud boom when it collided with the Golden Silkworm Gu.
Following that, the Golden Silkworm Gu’s body shook and flew backwards, landing on the wall of the pit and creating a hole that was as deep as half a person.
But not long after, the Golden Silkworm Gu walked out unscathed.
“Such strong vitality, not bad. It has both offense and defense.”
Facing the praise, the Golden Silkworm Gu did not show any gratitude, it continued to look at Fang Yuan fiercely, spitting out a mouthful of poison.
Fang Yuan waved his sleeves, blocking all of it.
Sizzle, sizzle.
Fang Yuan lowered his head in confusion, he saw that the part of his clothes that was contaminated by the poison had already been corroded into a few small holes, and they were expanding continuously.
“Fuck, not only is it poisonous, but it also has a corrosive effect?”
Fang Yuan directly took off his clothes and threw them to the side. His gaze was fiery as he looked at the Golden Silkworm Gu. He did not hold back any longer and directly took out the worm rod. With five times the strength, he combined it with Bloodthirsty and the liquid spirit essence, and a terrifying shockwave formed at the tip of the rod. He shouted, “Obey, or die!”
Crack
With a soft sound, cracks appeared on the ground under the pressure of this force.
An unprecedented force attacked it. The Golden Silkworm Gu felt a life-and-death crisis and immediately made a decision. It prostrated on the ground and made a submissive gesture.
Fang Yuan’s lips curled up. It worked!
With a wave of his hand, a stream of spirit essence shot into the Golden Silkworm Gu’s body. This time, there was no obstruction. It obediently accepted the guidance and was pulled into his acupoints.
After that, it was time to drip blood to recognize its master.
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Golden Silkworm Gu!]
[Golden Silkworm Gu]
Level: Tier 3
Type: Attack, Defense
Grade: Bronze
Skills: [Toxic Skin Lv3] , [Corrosive Spray LV3] , [Boiling Blood LV3]
…
Majestic spirit essence and blood Qi flowed out from the body of the Golden Silkworm Gu. Fang Yuan felt that his strength had increased by more than 30% in an instant!
This was the strongest Gu worm he had obtained so far.
Even the Soul Capture Gu was like a baby compared to it.
An adult Gu was destined to have a high initial level, but what Fang Yuan did not expect was that a mere level three Golden Silkworm Gu had three skills, and they were all level three skills.
This saved him a lot of resources and time for development.
After collecting the Golden Silkworm Gu, the matter here could be considered to have come to an end.
Fang Yuan ordered the Gu slave to scout ahead in secret. If he encountered danger, he would deal with it on his own. If he could not win, he would blow a whistle to warn the others. Then, he would return to the caravan, prepare, and set off again.
“I hope there are no more blind people blocking the way.”
Fang Yuan sat in the carriage, closed his eyes, and began to ponder the content of the rank six nine-turns rod technique.
…
At the same time, on the other side of Black Wind Mountain.
The twelve bandit leaders gathered together, their expressions were grave.
“None of the spies sent out by the four eastern clans have returned. What about you?”
“The six western clans are the same.”
“The two northern clans are the same.”
An old man stroked his beard and sighed softly. “Looks like the contents of the letter are true. Black Wind Mountain Village has been completely destroyed.”
“What should we do? Chief Hu, you are the one with the highest realm among the people present. Say something.”
The old man known as Chief Hu shook his head. “In the entire Black Wind Mountain region, the Black Wind Mountain Village is the strongest. Even they have been completely destroyed. What can we do?”
“Why don’t we do as the letter says and let the Fang clan’s convoy pass?”
“Fuck, if we let them run away with the fat meat in his mouth, what will the brothers eat and drink in the future?”
“Hearing what Chief Liu said, do you want to go and have a try?”
Chief Liu did not speak.
“There’s so much meat passing by every day. Even if we eat less, we won’t starve to death.”
Chief Hu glanced at him. “What do you all think?”
“Chief Hu’s words make sense!”
“We don’t need this meal. There’s no need to risk our lives!”
“That’s right!”
A group of people echoed.
