Chapter 65: Getting lost fast

The mountain forest was boundless, and Fang Yuan walked patiently.

Sunlight penetrated through the large and tall forest, shining and creating the shadow base of a speckled and fragmentary tree.

The green clump beside his feet was like a mattress, and wildflowers bloomed in bright colors.

Its ears catch the sound of birds chirping, or the gurgling of flowing water.

The further he got from the village, walking towards the outside environment, the more risky he became. So Fang Yuan was even more cautious.

The wilderness was extremely dangerous, Master Gu had to have at least a rank three cultivation in order to be able to roam the wild alone and explore. But this did not mean they were safe, as many rank three Master Gu died in the wild, sometimes even rank four. Wild animals, poisonous worms, human threats, and sometimes the weather, these are all causes of death.

However, Fang Yuan wanted to kill the boar that was often found around the outskirts of the village. Otherwise, the village hunters would not be able to catch the boar.

“The environment around the village, sometimes, Master Gu of the clan will come out and clean up the area. This environment for a rank one intermediate level like me, is still safe. But I still have to be careful, wild beasts and worms Gu likes to move. ”

With his experience from his previous life, Fang Yuan staked out carefully.

Time gradually passed, but Fang Yuan got nothing.

“Sial, Mount Qing Mao is still too big for me at the moment. I don't have a Gu-type lookout and I'm unfamiliar with this environment, plus Qing Mao Mountain is cleaned periodically, so to find a wild boar, it's too difficult. Let's go to the foot of the mountain!”

Fang Yuan's scouting did not come to fruition, so he changed his mind and went to the foot of the mountain.

Qing Mao Mountain has three mountain villages. Gu Yue Village, Xiong family village, and Bai family village. The Xiong family village was on the front mountain, Gu Yue mountain village was on the waist of the mountain, and the Bai family village was on the back mountain waterfall.

In addition to the three villages, there were also dozens of small villages at the foot of the mountain, all inhabited by humans.

Three mountain villages divided these small villages among themselves, becoming the ones who controlled them behind the scenes. Once they were short of family servants, they would choose from these small villages.

But they would not choose the Gu Masters.

Nurturing Master Gu, they would only choose a clan member. Even if they knew that among these humans were people with talent, although rare, they would still not use it.

This world was heavily siding with bloodlines, and wielding power among relatives was the political stability that clans needed.

To expand in size, many mountain villages have adopted outsiders into their systems. Eventually their power flowed out and caused internal conflict, thus causing the entire clan to be destroyed or weakened.

No matter the world, political power is still based on military power, this is the truth.

And troops are the brute force department, representing power. By controlling power, one gains status and authority.

Of course, the rules of the clan were not always constant, they also adopted new blood. Every year, there would be outsiders who married into the clan, renouncing their servant status, and the children they birthed would become Gu Yue, a new generation clan member.

It's like connecting a small river to a spring. Do not underestimate this flow, because without it, the springs will stand still, and eventually rot. With that, there will be life, and spring will grow stronger.

Fang Yuan's previous servant, Shen Cui, bet on the idea of marrying Gu Yue and leaving her servant status.

Fang Yuan left the mountain, and after thirty minutes, could see thick smoke rising from under the mountain.

After a while, he could see a vast hill in his view, and a village around the area beside a small river.

The surrounding small villages were under the rule of Gu Yue village. Although close by, the small villages are not so safe, so it requires regular cleaning. In order for a human to live under such conditions and successfully survive, for Fang Yuan, he was naturally able to accept such a fact.

"Oh?" On the mountain path that approached the village, Fang Yuan sensitively found traces on the ground. His past experiences told him that this was a boar trail.

"Pursue!" Fang Yuan stirred up his spirit as he followed the instructions, deepening into the mountains.

Green moss spread across the rocks, ancient juniper trees and tall pagoda trees complement the large forest.

Under the strong sunlight, the summer mountain forest was even deeper and quieter. The lush bush suddenly moved a little.

Some deer who were eating the luxurious grass looked up, staring at the bushes vigilantly, their ears twitching.

The bushes that were half a man in height split apart, and a young man crawled out from within. His skin was pale and his black hair short. He was wearing a simple linen shirt, it was Fang Yuan.

Swoosh's.

Some wild deer were frightened, and their four skinny legs quickly moved, running away. In a moment, they disappeared from Fang Yuan's sight.

“This is a doe, its fur can be shaved to make warm clothes, and the venison is also a Gu worm food. If it was a stag, its horns were most valuable, and some were even a necessary ingredient for the progress of the Gu worm.

The wild was dangerous everywhere, and at the same time had great treasures.

Fang Yuan looked in the direction they were fleeing towards, and retracted his gaze. The target is a boar, not this deer.

He keeps moving.

A buzzing sound.

"Beehive." He looked ahead and saw a beehive hanging on the tree.

The beehive is very large, the size of a wicker basket. It appeared as a sort of dark yellow-gray color. Outside the beehive there are several dozen bee soldiers flying around; sometimes a few worker bees will get in and out.

“Bee hives have honey, and honey is Bear Strength Gu food. Therefore, the Xiong family was in dire need of honey. This beehive is only small in size, and the chances of producing Gu are not high. If I had a Bronze Skin Gu, I could risk being stabbed and collecting honey. It's a pity." thought Fangyuan.

In this world, not all insects are Gu.

Gu is a world spirit, a body of laws, how can it be so cheap? Among swarms of insects, it is usually only the insect king who is a Gu.

But it depends on its size and development, so if the herd is too small, there is no Gu either.

Take the beehive up front as an example, because it is too small, there is a small chance of having Gu.

Fang Yuan surrounded this beehive and continued forward.

The traces of the boar grew clearer, and Fang Yuan knew he was getting closer to him, so he became more cautious, as the boar was extremely dangerous.

Wild boar is not a pig that is kept. When an adult boar fights a tiger, the tiger may not win.

In this mystic realm, ferocious beasts were not simple either.

"Oh? This situation!" When Fang Yuan finally found the boar, he saw the pig fall into a large hole. A spiky green bamboo was located at the bottom of the pit, where it had pierced the boar and caused it to bleed.

Looking at the accumulation of blood in the hole, he could tell that the boar had already been in the trap for at least fifteen minutes.

But this boar kept on thrashing, whimpering and howling, still alive.

“This trap is clearly installed by the hunter. To think I'm reaping the rewards. ” Fang Yuan smiled but his expression was grim.

This trap also threatened him.

If he fell into it, after half a quarter of an hour, he would die.

Although the village environment was cleaned regularly, hunters often came to hunt and set many traps. Some could be seen, while others were designed to be hidden, and if Fang Yuan was unable to find them, he might fall into a trap.

“Area anywhere on this mountain could have a trap buried by hunters. But among the hunters, with each trap set, they would inform each other of its location. Looks like I have to find the old hunter's residence and find out about the location of the trap from him. Along with the area of activity of the surrounding beasts and with this intel, I did not need to search like trying to find a needle in a haystack. ” Fang Yuan thought inwardly.

It's a matter of not having a scout-type Gu worm.

But to find a good Scout-type Gu, it wasn't easy.

In a short period of time, he could hardly settle for the hunter's intel.

With such a thought, Fang Yuan's wrist flicked and the moon sword flew out, easily hitting the boar.

Whooshing sound!

With a light ring, the entire moon sword cut through the neck of the boar and caused a long and slender wound. Then with a plop sound, a fountain of blood gushed out from him.

The spewing blood caused his wound to become larger, and thus the fountain of blood also enlarged.

The boar squealed, thrashing with its last energy, until its movements became increasingly smaller ……

Fang Yuan silently looked at the scene, his face calm.

The life of the boar faded as his eyes stared wide and perfectly round, the muscles in his body twitching and warm blood filling the trap hole, a thick smell of blood permeating the surroundings.

"Survive or die, this is the theme of nature." He breathed in his heart.

At this point, a human voice was heard.

“Second brother Wang, in our village, no one is better than you in hunting. Especially killing wild boars, your family Old Wang is the king of hunters all over the region, who does not know his big name?”

“That's right, second brother Wang inherited the old hunter's ability. To hunt wild boar, it is naturally the same as being caught!”

"Second brother Wang, why isn't little sister Wang coming with you today?"

After all bootlicking, a serious and resolute voice said, “Hmph! Wild boar hunting, how can it show my true abilities? Today I want to kill three boars, just look! Er Gou Dan, stop lusting after my sister, or I will beat you up!!!”

Er Gou And replied, “Men and women get married when they are old enough, what's wrong with liking Wang's little sister? Besides, I'm not the only one, which man in your village doesn't like him either? Second brother Wang, I think you are also nineteen years old, you should marry a wife and already have children. ”

The voice spoke again, “Hmph, I am truly a blue man, how can I lust after such small temptations? One day, I will leave this Qing Mao Mountain and explore the world and learn about everything under the sky, which really suits my male status!”

Saying so, the four young hunters walked out of the forest.

The tall hunter leader, carrying a bow and arrow, his muscles bulged out and his eyes were full of vigor, showing a powerful aura.

When he saw Fang Yuan, he frowned and shouted, “Hmm? From which village you come from, how dare you try to take advantage of Wang Er, quickly get lost! ”
