The denser the fire element, the more likely that the Sunlight Gu resides there.
As Fang Yuan walked, he counted the items that could be used from the leader’s belongings.
Among them, there was a token with the word ‘Demon’ on it that Fang Yuan took a few more glances at.
“It seems to be some kind of proof.”
Fang Yuan was not sure about the details, so he placed it in his pocket. Who knows when he might need it.
Other than that, there was nothing else worth paying attention to. After putting everything into his bag, he set off on his journey again.
Fang Yuan used a talisman that could conceal his aura.
It made it very difficult for mutated beasts to smell his scent.
But in contrast, there were all sorts of strange Gu worms hidden in the dark that caused him a lot of trouble.
Gu worms were much more powerful than mutated beasts of the same stage.
Fortunately, the spiritual Qi at the outer regions the mystic realm was not particularly dense.
The Gu worms that lived here were mostly below Bronze quality. Their growth was limited, and being at the fourth layer of the Enlightenment Realm was enough to deal with them.
Although Fang Yuan’s realm was a little inferior, he had all kinds of amplification methods and a large amount of liquid spirit essence, it was more than enough to deal with them.
As Fang Yuan continued to go deeper, these annoying Gu worms also gradually decreased.
Just like mutated beasts, there was also a situation where the strong preyed on the weak.
Powerful Gu worms had territory consciousness.
They would take the initiative to attack the weak creatures that entered their territory and devour their strength.
Over time, they would even evolve into Gu worms with many types of abilities.
Thus, Fang Yuan explored with extreme caution.
This kind of Gu worm was very difficult to deal with.
He did not want to waste his spirit essence here, and he did not even have the interest to subdue them.
Although the Gu worms here were powerful, their potential was average, and there was basically no possibility of evolution.
Compared to the Gu worm eggs in the sect, they were much weaker.
Right now, he only cared about Gu worms that were Silver grade and above. He did not care about anything else.
Unless, it was one of the three talented Gu like the Sunlight Gu, an extremely rare Gu worm with high potential.
Otherwise, even if he kept it, it would not increase his strength.
Thump…
Thump thump…
Just as Fang Yuan arrived at the bottom of a cliff, a sound similar to the beating of a heart suddenly came from the cave not far away.
“Ah ah ah!!!”
“Wu wu wu!!!”
Soon after, the screams of a man and the cries of a mutated beast came one after another.
But very quickly, their voices quickly weakened again.
And the heartbeat at the beginning became more vigorous.
It gradually became stronger and firmer.
It was as if it had absorbed their life force and obtained even greater strength.
Someone was refining Gu?
It sounded like a rather strange Gu that required the Qi and blood of a living person to refine.
It was somewhat similar to his Golden Silkworm Gu.
Fang Yuan was not curious about who the Gu refiner was, nor did he have any thoughts of executing justice for the heavens. He directly bypassed the cave entrance and took a long route.
But when he passed the cave entrance, even though he was a few hundred meters away, there was still a slight suspicion coming from inside, as if he had been discovered.
At the next moment, an unprecedented sense of danger welled up in his heart.
Fang Yuan activated Phantom Steps without thinking and instantly fled from his original position.
Whoosh!
The sound of air being torn apart could be heard.
It hit the empty ground.
“Oh?”
A seductive figure landed in Fang Yuan’s line of sight.
It was a woman.
She was tall and slender, and her eyes were long and thin. She was only wearing a light muslin coat, and only the key parts of her body were covered by a cloth. Large areas of her snow-white skin were exposed, and her entire person exuded a cold and charming temperament.
Her expression was a little surprised, as if she did not expect Fang Yuan’s reaction to be so fast.
Fang Yuan’s movements did not stop because of the other party’s beauty, he raised his hand and used a Sun Breaker talisman given by his senior Su Can.
After the spirit essence was injected, the talisman’s power increased it by ten times.
The liquid spirit essence, which could increase normal spirit by five times, instantly became fifty times!
With the addition of the nine-turns staff technique, it had already increased to four hundred and fifty times, sweeping out with the power of the Sun Breaker.
“A second layer Enlightenment Realm expert can unleash such powerful strength?”
Her eyes suddenly brightened, not showing any intention of retreating because of Fang Yuan’s attack. She lightly laughed. “Refining your flesh and blood into my Gu worm will definitely be a great tonic.”
Saying this, she casually stretched out a finger and pointed at Fang Yuan’s worm rod.
At this moment, it was as if time had stopped.
Her soft and boneless fingers split into countless limbs, firmly gripping onto the rod.
Only then did Fang Yuan realize that she had a green Gu worm with a peculiar appearance, and he did not recognize it at all.
The huge strength on the rod was instantly absorbed by the other party, vanishing without a trace.
What the hell was this thing?
Even the Bloodthirsty Gu did not have such a terrifying devouring ability!
But Fang Yuan noticed it.
After that Gu worm absorbed the strength from the rod, it quickly returned to the other party’s acupoints.
It seemed that this ability could only be used once for a short period of time.
This discovery made Fang Yuan feel much more at ease. He snorted coldly as the Bloodthirsty Gu flew out of his acupoints.
The Bloodthirsty ability gave him even more strength.
“Worm Group, go!”
Fang Yuan shouted, and the Bloodthirsty Gu immediately split into countless parts, swarming towards the woman.
The woman was not flustered. Another Gu worm climbed onto the back of her hand from her sleeve, its limbs forming a flesh and blood barrier, blocking the worm group.
Fang Yuan found an opportunity, using the flame rod technique to hit it heavily.
In the end, a shocking rebound came from his hand.
It sent him flying more than ten meters backwards.
Before he could recover, a colorful mist suddenly burst out from the barrier.
The worms that came into contact with it instantly froze, their lives taken away by the mist.
Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes and saw that this was a poisonous mist, and the Bloodthirsty Gu could not swallow and refine it.
“Golden Silkworm Gu, go!”
As the king of venomous Gu, the Golden Silkworm Gu naturally did not care about this little bit of poison.
It immediately used its Boiling Blood ability and charged into the poisonous mist, swallowing it in large mouthfuls.
Not long after, the poisonous mist became the Golden Silkworm Gu’s nutrients.
A cold snort came from within the barrier.
Another blood arrow flew out and fiercely hit the Golden Silkworm Gu’s head.
Clang!
A sound that was like metal colliding rang out.
The Golden Silkworm Gu’s powerful physique directly took this blow. Its body swayed for a moment, then it opened its mouth and spat out a large amount of venom.
The venom splashed onto the flesh and blood barrier, making a sizzling sound. In the blink of an eye, a palm-sized hole was corroded, causing the Gu worm to continuously hiss in pain.
The woman immediately put it back into her acupoints, revealing a sullen expression.
“Very good, this Gu worm of yours is very good, it belongs to me!”
“Yours is also not bad. After you die, I will take good care of it for you.”
Just like that, after saying those harsh words, the two once again exchanged blows, using all sorts of methods.
From the canyon to the plains, then from the plains to the cliff.
Fang Yuan even used the last Sun Breaker talisman, but still could not break through the opponent’s defense.
The woman’s realm was one layer higher than his, and she had no less than ten Gu worms. It was very likely that she was also a direct disciple of an elder from a large sect. She was very difficult to deal with.
However, the other party was good at using poison, and he just happened to have the Golden Silkworm Gu to counter it, so the other party couldn’t do anything to him.
In the stalemate, they fought and retreated.
Unknowingly, they actually barged into a ruin guarded by a mutated beast.
