Chapter 77: A strange coincidence

A wild boar almost as big as an elephant lay in a mud pit.

It closed its eyes, half kneeling and half lying down, a pair of tusks clean from the ground, shining like sharp blades.

Dusk reflected in his dark black fur, his large belly was white and with each breath, moving up and down created a snorting sound.

The king of boars!

Fang Yuan was several hundred meters away from him, but still carefully walked following the direction of the wind.

“Although I can kill a boar now, against this wild boar king, I can only escape. Even an average rank two Gu Master could not kill him. If he did not clear the Gu worm in his body, he might even become his prey.

Animal kings usually have Gu worms inhabiting their bodies.

On the body of the boar king, there was usually the Forest Pig Gu, such as the Pink Pig Gu or Flower Pig Gu. In addition to the wild boar species, there might also be a Beast Skin Gu or Spike Fur worm.

In this world, there were all kinds of Gu worms. Normally, the Gu worm was in the body of a powerful ferocious beast, and coexisted with a savage beast.

When a savage beast is attacked, the Gu worm will sense danger and assist the beast in fighting a powerful enemy.

The body of this wild boar king was enormous, and its strength far exceeded that of an average wild boar. Fang Yuan could not fight him alone, not to mention that there were at least one or more mysterious Gu worms in his body.

However, Fang Yuan's adventure this time was not to kill the boar king. It was to avoid chasing Wang Da.

Wang Da knew that Fang Yuan had a map of beast skins, and Fang Yuan used that knowledge to his advantage. Not going anywhere other than heading to the danger area of the boar king.

The wild boar king, though dangerous, is nevertheless still a beast, and lacks human intelligence. Old man Wang as a mortal man, could go to this place and retreat safely, so why couldn't Fang Yuan do the same?

Going the opposite way, though seemingly dangerous, instead hides a way to survive.

As he moved further, the boar king was slowly left behind by Fang Yuan. On the map, it seemed like Fang Yuan took a large circle and surrounded the red cross, forming a concave curve. Finally, he reached the hill where some clan elders lived and conducted a mid-year assessment there.

An hour later, a young boy full of grass clippings, his clothes torn in some places and his feet full of mud, carrying a bag and running up the hill.

This pitiful-looking young man, was Fang Yuan.

“I'm finally safely back here. In this place, there are clan elders to protect me and my security is assured. But I can't be rash.” Fang Yuan sighed in relief, and slowly climbed up the hill.

The hill had a simple tent and dozens of students were nearby as the academy guards were collecting wild boar fangs inside their bags. The few clan elders stationed here were lost, and only one remained.

“Why is the atmosphere so strange?” Fang Yuan frowned slightly, actually feeling something important had happened.

When he reached near the tent, he heard the discussions of the students.

"Did you hear, there was a murder before, and some second rank Master Gu died."

"Are you serious?"

“Indeed, I came here early, and I saw Gu Yue Fang Zheng being taken by some clan elders, rushing away.”

"Gu Yue Fang Zheng was too unlucky, to face something like this during the exam."

“Hehe, you don't know yes. The target was Fang Zheng, as he was an A-grade talent! ”

"I wonder if he'll die?"

“Even if he does not die, he will be affected. Maybe his talent will decline after that injury.”

Fang Yuan's footsteps came to a halt. He was clear in his heart, conjuring up the truth of the matter.

“Wang Da wants to deal with me and avenge his relatives. But after I found the tree house, I changed my route and went towards the boar king. Wang Da did not expect this and instead found Fang Zheng by accident. The source of the information came from those hunters and he had no idea that I had a twin brother. He mistook Fang Zheng as me and wanted to kill me, but was stopped by Master Gu around him protecting the area. Currently the question is – Did Wang Da die?”

Fang Yuan frowned tightly. Wang Da managed to escape, Wang Da was arrested, Wang Da was killed — these three possibilities will greatly affect his plans and actions in the future.

Thinking for a moment, Fang Yuan decided to follow his original plan.

The academy elder's expression was ugly, Fang Zheng was actually killed. Without any clues or evidence, he would not have been able to guess that Fang Zheng had become Fang Yuan's scapegoat, but thought of the Bai clan and the Xiong clan!

Fang Zheng was the only A-grade talent that the Gu Yue clan had for the past three years, the Bai clan and the Xiong clan would naturally not let him grow. Sending a Gu Master assassin to kill him and prevent him from becoming stronger, this was normal.

Even the Gu Yue clan would do something like this. Secretly dispatching Gu Masters and targeting the genius students of the other two clans.

"The killer was killed on the spot, but I wonder how Fang Zheng wound up?" The academy elder thought, and at this moment, his servant brought him a piece of paper.

The academy elder received the paper, read it without paying proper attention, "In this year's exam, the results are as follows ... Gu Yue Chi Cheng sixteen tusks, Gu Yue Mo Bei fourteen tusks ..."

Class D students, even if they worked together, they could only get three to four tusks. B and C, at most eight to nine. Those who had more than ten tusks were the ones performing well.

The best was Gu Yue Chi Cheng with sixteen fangs. Next was Mo Bei, and for Fang Zheng he had ten.

Gu Yue Chi Cheng showed a complacent expression. He got lucky this time and met two wild boars who were fighting each other, so he got an easy reward. Gu Yue Mo Bei was furious, letting Chi Cheng surpass him.

The academy elder announced, "Therefore, I announce the number one student for this exam is ..."

"Stop!" Fang Yuan stepped out at this moment.

“Fang Yuan, you're late. The examination ended an hour ago, according to the rules, the boar tusks you obtained will be reduced by four as punishment. ” Chi Cheng immediately shouted.

Fang Yuan ignored him and opened the bag on his back, grabbing the bottom of the bag and pouring the contents.

Bumping.

Dozens of boar tusks gathered near his feet.

"It!" Chi Cheng stared with his mouth agape.

Mo Bei and the others stared at their eyeballs into that pile.

“How can there be so much? It's too much!" The academy elder looked at Fang Yuan in disbelief, "Fang Yuan, are you hunting all of this?"

Fang Yuan cupped his fists, “I myself only hunted a dozen tusks, but I found a bag that could have been hidden by hunters. Inside are many boar tusks. I think about it, the test was that we had to get as much ivory in a day as possible, and not determine that we had to kill him ourselves, so I brought him here. ”

As soon as he finished, the crowd exploded in discussion.

“How can this be?”

“Too lucky!”

"It's too fake, can the question leak out so he cheats?"

The academy elder looked at Fang Yuan, looked for a while, then declared, "This exam, Fang Yuan is the first."

…

The atmosphere of the family headroom feels heavy.

Gu Yue Bo sat on the leading seat, and a dozen other elders sat on the two rows beside him, their faces full of fury.

"Gu Yue Yao Ji, you are the number one healer in our clan, I ask you how is Fang Zheng now?" Gu Yue Bo asked the clan elder.

Gu Yue Yao Ji was an old woman with a stooped back, her face was full of wrinkles like tree bark.

He coughed twice, slowly saying, “Reporting to the clan head, the situation has stabilized. Fang Zheng's life was not in danger, but he was still sleeping. His talent did not go down because of this. ”

“Good if his talent does not go down.” Gu Yue Bo heaved a sigh of relief, he asked the elder of the punishment hall, "Is the killer's situation already assessed?"

The elder of the punishment hall was not as old as Gu Yue Yao Ji, and immediately stood up, lowering his head, “Yes, thirty-five years old, male, identity unknown, maybe the demon faction of Gu Master. She has two Gu worms, Shadow Follower Gu and Love Life Separation.”

Gu Yue Bo nodded, "It looks like an assassin, Separation of Love Life .. poison ranked second number one, no wonder he can kill my three Master Gu."

“Capital of the clan, we must investigate further! Be it the Bai clan or the Xiong clan!” Gu Yue Chi Lian shouted, her eyes almost burning.

“Shadow Follower Gu, Separation of Love Life. This is not like Bai or Xiong clan pawns. He was probably the outer demon faction of Gu Master, wanting to be affiliated with the clan, so was ordered to kill Fang Zheng to prove his loyalty. After all, this matter must have something to do with the two clans, ” Gu Yue Mo Chen said coldly.

These two clan elders were powerful, even though they did not get along, once an external enemy appeared, they would throw away their hatred and knit tightly.

Gu Yue Bo nodded, thinking the same thing.

Wang Da had disappeared for three years, with no trace to be found. The villagers all thought he was dead, so his identity became a mystery. The higher-ups of Gu Yue did not know this, they would not care about the death of a servant. They placed all their attention on the Xiong and Bai clans.

At this moment, the academy elder entered.

"Clan leader ..." He looked worried and was about to speak when Gu Yue Bo replied, "Academy elder, Fang Zheng is fine, his talent is still A grade."

The academy elder's face became relaxed.

“Oh yes, are other students safe? And for this examination, how did it go, which place was Fang Zheng?” Gu Yue Bo asked comfortably.

The academy elder replied honestly, and when he said that Fang Yuan accidentally took out a bag of boar tusks and got first place, Gu Yue Bo's eyes shone.

The hall also became quiet. The clan elders, as if they were feeling it, subtly observed the atmosphere, and the originally nervous environment became a little more bizarre.
