Chapter 64: The Mother Gu Appeared
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There really was a Sunlight Gu here!
Fang Yuan did not expect that the trip to the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm would go so smoothly. He found the target so quickly.
However, Bai Yao was also on her way here.
Her path also led here, but with the Gu slave deliberate slacking off, the efficiency of killing Offspring Gu was very low on her side, and they would not be able to reach this cave in a short time.
But after killing so many Offspring Gu, the Offspring Gu’s ability to absorb spirit essence was greatly weakened.
Even though there were still restrictions, Fang Yuan and Bai Yao could still use their Gu worms’ power.
Bai Yao had already noticed this and already joined the battle.
Her Gu worms were very strange. Their moves were bizarre, the victim’s soul would be shocked and blood essence would be lost, causing great damage to the Offspring Gu.
Fang Yuan had experienced her strength, and he knew that the Offspring Gu could not stop Bai Yao for long, so he was ready to attack.
Boundless spirit essence gathered in his hand, turning into a blue ball with great power.
A strange suction force came from the space again, continuously absorbing the spirit essence he released.
But Fang Yuan did not stop, he directly injected the liquid spirit essence into it, maintaining the concentration of the spirit essence. His hands were half-folded into a full moon shape, and he placed the small ball filled with spirit essence at the acupoints.
Just as he was about to draw out the Gu worms to boost his strength, faint footsteps suddenly came from his side of the tunnel.
Someone was there?
Fang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that a stranger had barged in?
No, he could not forcefully subdue the stranger!
Fang Yuan made a prompt decision and retreated to the edge of the cave. Then, he threw a dark yellow talisman into the spirit essence ball.
The power of the talisman was instantly activated and wrapped him up, forming a camouflage barrier.
Not long after, six people entered the cave one after another.
After they sized up the cave environment, they revealed a puzzled expression.
“Hmm? Strange, so many Gu worms died in the tunnel, so why haven’t we met anyone here yet?”
“Be careful, those Gu worms died not long ago, the person who did it might be hiding in the dark and hasn’t left yet.”
“The Tracing Gu detected that the aura extended all the way from the corpse to here. It must be this person who did it, damn it!”
“They dare to lay their hands my Gu Demon Sect’s people, they must be tired of living.”
So they were from the Gu Demon Sect.
They followed him because of the two headless corpses.
Fang Yuan could not help but shake his head. It seemed that he was not careful enough. If he had burned the corpses, he would not be found here and his plans wouldn’t have been ruined.
Gu masters who could enter the mystic realm up to this point were not weak.
At the very least, they were at least at the second layer of the Enlightenment Realm.
Fighting six of them by himself was too unrealistic.
Moreover, there was Bai Yao in the other tunnel.
He definitely could not fight anymore.
For a moment, Fang Yuan was already considering whether he should leave.
But the cave entrance was sealed by the stone door, and it could not be opened from the inside, unless he used the divine escape talisman that Senior Su Can gave him.
He shook off the thought as soon as it appeared.
“If I were to teleport to a demon beast nest, things would not be good. Now is not a life-and-death situation, I should just wait and see.”
Fang Yuan shook his head, calming his heart and calming his breath, restraining his aura to prevent the other party from discovering this strange place.
The Sunlight Gu was right in front of him. If he did not obtain it, he would not be satisfied.
It was one of the extremely rare three talented Gu, and it was a huge temptation.
As they talked, the six people in front started to split up, exploring the cave.
One of them held the tracking unit and walked close to Fang Yuan, but did not find him.
“As expected of Senior’s talisman, it is so effective.”
Fang Yuan was already thinking about what gift he should give Senior Su Can when he returned, and at the same time, ask for more talismans.
These things might come in handy at any time.
At this time, a loud noise came from another tunnel, giving everyone in the karst cave a fright.
Following that, the Gu slave’s muscular body broke through a corner of the tunnel and brought Bai Yao in.
The six of them held their weapons at almost the same time and released their Gu worms.
But when they saw who it was, they were all stunned.
“Senior… Senior Bai?”
“Eh?”
Bai Yao was also puzzled when she saw them. She looked around and asked suspiciously, “Why are you here? Where is that person?”
“That person? Which person?”
“Didn’t you see anyone else when you arrived here?”
“No… no one.”
The few of them were a little confused. One of them took a step forward and bowed with a respectful and fearful expression on his face. He said carefully, “I wonder who Senior is referring to?”
“A male cultivator in a black robe. He’s about twenty years old and has a cultivation base at the second layer of the Enlightenment Realm. He’s tall and thin.”
“We… we came here to search for the one responsible for the corpses of our fellow disciples outside the ruins. We didn’t see the person Senior mentioned along the way…”
Bai Yao waved her hand impatiently. “Forget it if you don’t know.”
That person opened his mouth but didn’t dare to say anything else. He retreated into the crowd.
Fang Yuan saw it.
It seemed that Bai Yao’s prestige in the Gu Demon Sect was very high, and even these inner sect disciples were so afraid. He did not know whose disciple she was.
No matter how hard Bai Yao racked her brain, she could not figure out where Fang Yuan had gone.
Could it be that he could disappear into thin air in this completely sealed ruin?
Although she did not believe it, the truth was right in front of her.
There was indeed no sign of the eighth person in the huge lava cave.
The lava cave suddenly shook violently, causing the few of them to lose their balance and almost fall down.
“Eh? What’s going on?”
“I don’t know. Maybe it’s the lava activity underground. We can’t stay here for long.”
Bai Yao immediately waved her hand. “Forget it, follow me back to the tunnel. There are still many forks that I haven’t explored yet. Think of a way to leave this place.”
“Yes, Senior Bai.”
The few of them followed Bai Yao into the tunnel.
However, just as the last person was about to step into the tunnel…
A strand of white silk suddenly flew down from the top of the karst cave, sealing his mouth and nose. It wrapped around his body and pulled him up in an instant without making a sound.
The person in front was still talking to him.
“Junior Zhou, Senior told you to pay more attention to the situation at the back. There might be a thief hiding. Be careful of sneak attacks.”
No one responded.
“Eh? Junior, Junior Zhou?”
That person sensed something was wrong and turned his head to look. There was nothing behind him. There was no sign of JuniorZhou?
“Not good, something happened!”
He held his weapon in his hand almost reflexively and looked at the cave entrance vigilantly.
The other people were attracted by his shout and turned their heads in unison.
Bai Yao also noticed that one person was missing and immediately changed her mind. “Go back!”
The few of them stepped into the karst cave again. They looked around but still did not see a single person.
Bai Yao sneered.
“Come out, I know you’re here. However, the method you used this time was a little boring.”
She said this to Fang Yuan.
But what responded to her was a bundle of thicker white lines shooting down from above.
Bai Yao opened her five fingers and sharp limbs appeared, directly cutting off the white lines.
“Playing tricks!”
Bai Yao pointed at the top of the cave, “Expose him!”
The others understood and raised their hands at the same time, gathering spirit essence in their palms and throwing it.
Under the light blue light, a huge blood red figure appeared in everyone’s eyes.
Next, it opened its mouth and sucked all the spirit essence into its body, causing the blood color on its body to become even more intense.
Bai Yao’s beautiful face instantly turned pale.
It was that Mother Gu!
