Chapter 62 - Breakthrough Of The Soul Capture Gu
Chapter 62: Breakthrough Of The Soul Capture Gu
After a short interlude, the two sneaked to the entrance before the monkeys returned.
This place was blocked by a stone door, and they needed to break through the mechanism to enter.
Fang Yuan had the True Vision Gu, so all illusions were illusions.
Solving this mechanism was naturally not a problem.
He easily figured out the trigger.
Soon, the stone door opened, and a deep tunnel appeared in front of them.
“Gu slave, you go in first.”
Thump… thump…
The Gu slave did not make a sound, and he walked in with heavy steps.
The two followed closely behind.
In an instant, an unknown force swept over from behind.
Crack!
Following that, a dull sound was heard, and Fang Yuan immediately took out a fluorescent Gu to light up the place.
The stone door was locked, and there was no way to open it from the inside.
That force also disappeared.
Fang Yuan frowned, raising his hand and condensing the spirit essence in it.
In the end, the spirit essence that was supposed to be a ball turned into thousands of water blue threads, entering the wall of the tunnel.
“All the spirit essence has been sucked away?”
Bai Yao’s eyes also showed a trace of solemnity. Could it be that this ruin was really like what Fang Yuan said, and there was a formation that could seal spirit essence?
It was a little strange!
Once a Gu master lost their spirit essence, most of their Gu worm abilities could not be used, so they were basically no different from mortals who practiced martial arts.
Fang Yuan looked at the inner wall of the tunnel and said slowly, “The spirit essence that was just sucked in has gone into the depths of the ruin. Let’s go, there is no turning back.”
“Gu slave, go!”
Bai Yao immediately gave the order.
The Gu slave dragged its heavy limbs and slowly moved forward.
Two fluorescent Gu were on its shoulders, lighting the path for them.
Fang Yuan saw this and his thoughts started to flow.
He had to find an opportunity to interact with the Gu slave, before Bai Yao discovered him.
If he made her wary, he would lose the initiative when she turned hostile.
Rustle…
A slight sound attracted their attention.
They stopped at the same time and listened carefully.
The sound grew louder and louder, spreading in the silent space.
It was obvious that something was approaching quickly.
Fang Yuan held the worm rod in his hand and looked around vigilantly.
Although he could not use the nine-turns rod technique, it was still good to have a weapon in his hand.
In an instant, the Gu slave in front of him was the first to be attacked.
It was a group of white worms, with tens of thousands of them densely packed together.
Fang Yuan’s gaze swept over and obtained the basic information.
[Devourer Mother And Offspring Gu] (Offspring Gu) : the offspring of the Mother Gu. It can devour any form of spirit essence for its own use. After the Mother Gu is attacked, it will fuse with the Mother Gu and greatly increase the Mother Gu’s strength.
No wonder they couldn’t use spirit essence. It was because of this type of Gu worm.
However, Fang Yuan still had elemental power to use.
The Gu slave took the lead.
The two hands that were parasitized by the Gu worm transformed and killed the Offspring Gu that were approaching.
However, there were simply too many of them.
There were still countless Offspring Gu that passed through the Gu slave and charged towards the two of them.
Fang Yuan lowered his body to deal with them. Ice element rapidly condensed around his body.
All the Offspring Gu that got past the Gu slave were frozen into two centimeter ice cubes.
The flame staff swept past and instantly shattered them.
“Young master is so powerful.”
Bai Yao praised him without any sincerity, then used the flesh and blood barrier, “You guys kill slowly, call me when it’s over.”
The barrier was extremely tough. It did not require spirit essence to activate, and the Offspring Gu could not bite it at all.
She only needed to wait for the Gu slave and Fang Yuan to clean them up.
Saving her strength?
Fang Yuan glanced coldly. It was time to get close to the Gu slave.
As he charged, he tried to move his feet, getting closer to the Gu slave.
Bai Yao seemed to have given the Gu slave an order to kill the Offspring Gu.
Even though Fang Yuan was getting closer, the Gu slave still did not attack him.
Instead, he and Fang Yuan helped each other to deal with those annoying Gu worms.
Fang Yuan took the opportunity to send a stream of spirit essence into the Gu slave’s body.
Although the Devourer Mother Gu’s ability was monstrous, it could not devour the spirit essence transmitted inside the body.
Compared to the Bloodthirsty Gu, it was still a little lacking.
As the spirit essence entered the Gu slave’s body, his huge body slowed down for a moment, and its dull expression changed slightly.
Fang Yuan felt something in his heart.
“So the Soul Capture Gu is not dead, it is just hiding.”
It made sense.
The Soul Capture Gu’s quality was not low. It was a Bronze grade Gu after all.
It had all the intelligence it should have.
It would not stupidly give the host an order to resist such a powerful enemy when Bai Yao was refining the Gu slave for the second time, sending itself to its death.
It was a pity that the second-in-charge’s body was no longer under the control of a single Gu worm, the Soul Capture Gu.
His hands and feet were now infested with Gu worms, and they were nourished by his flesh and blood. They all had their own thoughts.
The commands given by the Soul Capture Gu through the central nervous system were very limited, unless it could break through to a higher realm, allowing the Soul Capture Gu to have a dominant position in the Gu slave’s body.
Not only would it control the body of the second-in-charge, it could also control the Gu worms that were parasitic on the four limbs!
This method…
Seemed feasible!
It should work as long as the Soul Capture Gu’s strength was sufficient.
The Soul Capture Gu’s ability would increase further, so how difficult would it be to control a few Gu worms that were inferior to it?
Coincidentally, the Gu worms on the four limbs were still growing.
They could not cultivate automatically like Fang Yuan’s Gu worms.
They were only at rank two.
The Soul Capture Gu had accumulated in the Gu slave’s body for a long time and had the strength of rank two.
As long as it broke through again, it would be able to control them.
Fang Yuan’s heart moved and he injected the power of Yin and Yang that he had produced when he helped Wan Qian relieve the cold poison into the Gu slave’s body.
The power of Yin and Yang belonged to the origin power and could help people cultivate. It should be able to help the Gu worm cultivate too, right?
As expected, in the next moment, the system rang in his mind.
[Ding, your Soul Capture Gu has obtained origin power of Yin and Yang, entering a state of Enlightenment!]
Fang Yuan’s eyes could not help but light up.
After Enlightenment, it could increase the cultivation speed by quite a bit.
This way, the Soul Capture Gu’s breakthrough was only a matter of time!
As expected.
Not long after.
They had not even finished killing the Offspring Gu in the tunnel.
The system sent the news of the Soul Capture Gu breaking through.
Very good!
“Soul Capture Gu, control the other Gu on the four limbs!”
Fang Yuan gave an order in his heart.
For a moment, the Gu slave’s movements suddenly stopped, his expression becoming distorted.
But this situation did not last for long, and the Gu slave once again entered the battle. He was no different from before.
It was a success!
The moment this thought appeared, it meant that the Soul Capture Gu had responded.
Moreover, the Soul Capture Gu seemed to be able to receive Bai Yao’s commands.
“That’s right.”
Fang Yuan glanced at Bai Yao who was still wrapped in the flesh and blood barrier. His eyes flashed with coldness as he started to communicate with the Soul Capture Gu. “Continue to act according to her commands.. If she wants to kill me, pretend to cooperate and then attack her with me!”
