Chapter 71: Keeping a low profile even if one's strength can bring wild boar
Time passed, and with the blink of an eye, it was already mid-June.
The summer night, with the golden bow of the moon hanging high in the sky, radiated its light on the green mountain land.
The wind blew and the leaves danced with the moonlight. The chants of crickets and frogs are mutual. Sometimes the sound of howling wolves rang out from afar, echoing throughout the green mountains.
On the banks of the river, a river flowed over a piece of smooth cliff rock. Beside this bank, a battle was ongoing.
A wild boar covered in fine and deep wounds all over his body kicked his leg and rushed forward once again towards Fang Yuan. Blood flowed from his wound, marking the path of the fresh red liquid.
Fang Yuan grappled with him, showing no signs of panic.
The boar was on the verge of death, but it was precisely these times that the wild beast was the most dangerous. Using the last remaining potential of their lives, their madness and tenacity, can cause a person to be seriously injured at a careless moment.
Fang Yuan was peaceful, his black irises shining eeriely under the moonlight, showing a light of absolute calm.
He had 500 years of experience, some of him engrossed in battle, while others broke away from battle, and remained wary of the surroundings.
Many times when he was hunting wild boars, other animals came to destroy the calamity. Sometimes, wild boars, wild wolves, and even tigers roam.
As time went on, the boar attacks gradually slowed down.
Fang Yuan's eyes shone brightly as he took a few steps forward, approaching the boar. Lifting the strength on his shoulders and arms, he carried and lifted the boar in one breath.
Huff!
Fang Yuan growled as his face turned red, his arms stretched out and raised the boar high above his head.
The boar weakly thrashed.
Fang Yuan's body was unstable, he used all his strength to throw the boar.
With a bang, the boar was thrown into a boulder by the river. He cried pitifully as the sound of his broken bones sounded.
It fell from a huge rock, blood flowing out from its ears, nose, and mouth.
It struggled a few times before it took its last breath.
The surrounding area was peaceful again.
The river water flowed nonstop, carrying the blood of the boar along the river to somewhere far away.
“My strength can now compete with the wild boar! Tonight I will try the giant stone in that hallway.” Fang Yuan stood on the spot, breathing heavily with a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
These days he had used White Boar Gu nonstop to increase his body strength. He could feel strongly now that his strength was getting bigger.
Back then when he was fighting the boar, he could only use the kite technique with moonblade, but now he could even bring the boar, so his increase in strength had shown great progress.
Of course, White Boar Gu would not inexhaustibly give him strength. His limit was the strength of a boar, and once he reached his limit, it would no longer give him any additional strength.
“I can bring the wild boar now, the strength of the wild boar, and once he reaches the limit, it will no longer give him additional strength.
“I can carry wild boars now, but that doesn't mean I can deal directly with wild boars, like how strong people can carry other strong people, but that doesn't mean they have equal strength. My strength can continue to grow. ”
Feeding all the pigs to Gu the White Pig, Fang Yuan used his hunting knife to take the boar teeth, and finally cut the already heavily torn wild boar skin, which he had lost, before going to the secret cave in the rock crevice.
As for the corpse of the boar, he did not need to do anything. During the summer night, ferocious beasts roamed freely, and not long after, there should be ferocious beasts that smelled the scent of blood and rushed here to clear the place for Fang Yuan.
Or rather, even if one knew about it, it was not important. The boar injuries were all 'edited' by Fang Yuan, not looking like pieces of a moon knife.
Returning to the secret cave shrouded in red light, Fang Yuan threw the two boar teeth into a corner.
The boar's teeth collided, causing a crisp sound.
In this corner, there was already a pile of boar teeth. It was the result of Fang Yuan's hunt.
Fang Yuan wriggled into the passageway, once again reaching the end of the tunnel.
Walking in the tunnel, his footsteps could be heard echoing within the cave, his vision dyed red with light.
Everything did not change; the gigantic stone was still there, silently blocking its way. As for the hole made after digging the earth treasury flower, it was already filled by Fang Yuan.
Haa!
Although his face had become red with exertion, and he used all of his strength, the giant stone did not move an inch.
“With my current strength, I can only bring wild boar. But this giant rock, it's at least five to six boars. No wonder I couldn't move it. The inheritance of the power of the Flower Wine Monk was not that easy to obtain! ” Fang Yuan's gaze shone as he estimated in his heart.
He did not give up, but instead exited the tunnel and returned to the secret room upstairs.
Taking the bamboo tube from the corner of the wall, Fang Yuan sat on the ground and opened the lid, taking out the animal skin map and the bamboo paper sheet.
He opened the animal skin map and started memorizing it, using his fingers to draw a trace on the map to aid in memorizing it.
Ever since he got the map, he had been doing this every day.
Fang Yuan didn't have Gu's storage type, he couldn't carry a map of beast skin everywhere. Carrying bamboo tubes to him while fighting was also uncomfortable. Thus, Fang Yuan attempted and prepared to insert the entire contents of the beast skin map into his head.
Some things, even if troublesome, have to be done. In one's life, those who do not actively solve problems for fear of problems, will always face dangerous difficulties in the end. Fang Yuan understood this logic from his previous life.
“When a person is young, his memory must be good. I have memorized more than half of this map. If I was old, I would probably forget the content while memorizing this. Hehehe, of course if I have Book Lice, I will feed this map to her, and from then on, as long as I do not lose Book Lice, I will feed her, I will be able to remember this map clearly forever.”
Fang Yuan had the worm Liquor, Gu the White Pig, and now began to have an insatiable greed, starting to crave Book Lice.
The value of the Book Lice is quite close to the Liquor worm and the White Pig Gu, all rare species among the rank one Gu worms. The market prices are expensive and they often sell out in a few moments.
In his previous life, Fang Yuan had not obtained the Liquor Worm or White Boar Gu, but he had accidentally obtained the Bookworm. This Bookworm eventually rose in rank with him, and accompanied him for a full sixty years.
“Forget it, Bookworms are rare and they are few in number, I won't be able to get them anytime soon. To be honest, my current stage is much better than my previous life at this point. Last time in this period, I was still a rank one early stage, while others like Fang Zheng, Chi Cheng, Mo Bei were already top level, far surpassing me. Fang Yuan was not someone who was worrying about anything, quickly forgetting about it.
He was somewhat satisfied with his current progress.
He was the middle stage, and the others were also the middle stage. With his C-class talent, he could maintain the same speed with these A and B grades, it wasn't easy. A lot of effort was given to the Liquor worm, as well as Fang Yuan's rich cultivation experience.
The other aspect, was also due to Fang Yuan.
His blackmail action had caused his classmates to practice their physical fighting skills under the help of their elders. Unknowingly, it causes them to be distracted, reducing the time they spend maintaining their holes. This resulted in everyone's cultivation level being even lower than Fang Yuan's past life.
But even so, they were not so far away from the upper stage right now.
The initial stage of cultivation of Gu Masters was rather easy, seeing the effects in such a short period of time. Especially Gu Yue Fang Zheng, Mo Chen and Chi Cheng, their cultivation levels had already crept up and even seemed to surpass Fang Yuan.
With constant cultivation, the three of them with their talents, or the support behind them, had already started to show their superiority. The clues that Fang Yuan had due to the Liquor worm started to disappear.
Of course, there was also a reason he had hunted recently and used the White Pig Gu to increase his strength, or spent a lot of his time and effort to do so.
“At this rate, before long, someone will advance to the upper stage. The first person to reach the top level would get the reward of thirty ancient stones. But this gift, I do not intend to fight over it. ” Fang Yuan has decided long ago.
If he left White Boar Gu now and rushed to the top level, he might have some hope of winning. But that was not Fang Yuan's goal. Thirty ancient stones might be good but he did not lack any primordial stones at the moment.
The greater reason was that he had to remain hidden and not stand out to reduce the attention of others towards him, so that he could inherit the inheritance of the power of the Flower Wine Monk successfully.
This is his real motive.
“Academy has all sorts of awards, but only carrots to interest students, and most importantly, it is part of the family system. Struggling for this small gift, is not the thing a wise man would do.”
Fang Yuan gathered his spirit and looked at the animal skin map again.
The animal skin map had two pages; one recorded the day while the other recorded the night. Many different color lines intertwined on it.
These lines, some are straight, some are curved, but all have their own meaning. Only old man Wang would understand the meaning, but it was a pity that he died. But even if he was still alive, by forcing him to speak, he might not be telling the truth.
These days, Fang Yuan relied on his knowledge and experience, and according to the comparison of bamboo paper, he had already deciphered everything.
“Red cross symbolizes danger, forbidden zone. The area with the red cross seems to be surrounded by wild boars, probably the king of the boars there. With my current strength, I would be as good as dead if I found it. Hmph!”
Thinking of old man Wang, Fang Yuan could not help but snort anymore.
The area is marked with an unmarked cross on bamboo paper. If Fang Yuan really trusted the bamboo paper, he would probably die by the fangs of the boar king someday. This old man Wang is indeed experienced. In order to avenge his son, he must not act alone, but borrow the power of the boar king. This way, even if Fang Yuan were to die, he would be able to avoid responsibility.
"But these three points are marked with a red circle, what does that mean?" Fang Yuan was agitated.
This was the last suspicious point of the animal skin map.
Three red circles, showing three very isolated areas. They were also very far apart, and had few ferocious beasts around, which were considered safer areas in the wild.
“The red cross symbolizes the forbidden area, but what does the red circle symbolize?” Fang Yuan thought hard, “Usually, red is the most alert color. Wang's parents marked these three areas, meaning they were important. It's a pity these areas are far away, otherwise I would have checked it myself and found the reason. ”
