Chapter 79: Breakthrough to the sixth Gu in the inheritance land
Time is like a white horse racing through a crevice, and summer is gone with the coming of autumn.
On the walled road, Fang Yuan stood once again in front of the giant rock blocking the path.
As the weather grew colder, he wore plain and simple clothes with long sleeves. But his body figure was no longer as thin as it was a few months ago.
His chest, two arms and legs, and stomach all showed clear muscles.
These muscles did not protrude like stones, but it looked like a streamlined type, matching Fang Yuan's slowly growing body. Suitable also to his white skin, this gave others a kind of youthful feeling, full of vitality.
“Starting from three days ago, White Boar Gu stopped giving me an increase in strength. That means, I already have one boar power, thus reaching the Flower Wine Monk requirement. Today, I will try pushing this round stone again!”
Fang Yuan's eyes shone as he stepped forward with his right foot, his left foot behind, forming an arc step.
His arm touched the surface of the round stone as he took a deep breath and pushed with all his strength.
The huge stone moved under the pressure of both of his hands, moving slowly, gradually gaining momentum and rolling forward.
The road before the large rock that blocks the path is a sloping slope. Converted into a round stone by the Flower Wine Monk, it was most suitable for rolling. This must have been his intention, to let the heir push the stone up and move it.
"Ten steps, twenty steps, thirty steps ..." Fang Yuan slowly advanced, calculating in his heart, "Last week, I pushed him into forty-five steps and that was the limit of my stamina, forcing me to stop. This time, I wondered how far I could push it?
Forty steps, forty-five steps ……
A while later, Fang Yuan broke his original record, but it was enough for him to feel extremely tired.
Forty-six steps, forty-seven steps ……
Fang Yuan could feel strongly, at this point his stamina was almost depleted.
Forty-eight, forty-nine steps….
He exerted all his strength and moved two more steps. Finally, he reached his limit, sweating profusely. Using his shoulders and legs to hold the stone in place, he took a few deep breaths.
"Should I give up?" Fang Yuan could not help but have such thoughts. This uphill slope, when he returned he had to expend a lot of stamina as well. After all, the stone had to roll down and he had to release it slowly in the process.
If he let go and ran, the stone would roll faster and faster. Fang Yuan did not want to turn into a pile of meat after being unable to avoid it.
But thinking for a moment, Fang Yuan felt angry. Let's push a few more steps.
Fifty step.
He suddenly felt that the pressure from the boulder had lessened. It actually rolled onto a straight platform.
Fang Yuan pushed a few more steps. After passing through the boulder, he found himself in a secret room.
This secret room was like a secret cave of rock cracks. He temporarily named it the second secret room.
There was nothing in that room. Those four walls were a strange red ground, glowing red. At the other end of the secret room, there was a simple gray-colored stone door. It must be a rushed product from Flower Wine Monk.
Fang Yuan rested for a while but did not immediately open the stone door, as he had a new invention.
He found that the ground in front of the stone door was slightly damp.
"Don't say ..." Fang Yuan had a thought. He leaned over, spread out his hands and loosened the ground.
The second Earth Treasure Flower!
Fang Yuan laughed out loud, carefully peeling off the flower petals and picking up the sleeping Gu worm on the golden nectar.
As soon as he spread the primordial essence, it was instantly refined.
This is Gu Jade Skin. Its appearance was like a bedbug, flat and wide with its small head and green body oval in shape in the sky, emitting a faint jade-colored light.
“I get White Boar Gu, and still think where can I get Jade Skin Gu so I can fix it to White Jade Gu. Thinking that the Flower Wine Monk had already prepared it for me, ”renung Fang Yuan, thought of the importance of this Jade Skin Gu.
This was Fang Yuan's sixth Gu worm.
Even though he already had five, there was nothing defensive. Now that he had the Jade Skin Gu, he could cover up his weakness in defense.
Sometimes, defense means offense.
It's not hard to understand. Take the example of Fang Yuan's body. Using Gu White Boar, his strength grew into the strength of a single wild boar. Theoretically, with this power, he could smash rocks in a single blow, but Fang Yuan had never done such a thing.
Because he knew his defense was not enough, so with a single blow, the stone would break, but his fist would also bleed from the damage.
Now that he had the Jade Skin Gu, he could add to the advantage he had in strength. Obviously, there are advantages and disadvantages.
Gu Jade Skin had a high value, being one of the best Gu ranked one defenses. It was not easy to feed, consuming two pieces of jade every ten days.
Fang Zheng also had Gu Jade Skin, but he had the support of the clan leader, giving him the jade slip. If Fang Yuan wanted the jade, he would have to buy it, and it could easily expose it.
“Initially in feeding Gu the White Pig, I had to kill the wild boar regularly, and it was already troublesome. With the addition of this Jade Skin Gu, do I have to dig mine?” Fang Yuan laughed bitterly, looking at the new problem in front of him.
Keeping Gu the Jade Skin, temporarily nurturing it in its hole, Fang Yuan gradually opened the stone door.
The stone door was heavy, and if Fang Yuan did not have the White Boar Gu's power boost, he would not be able to move it. But now, with Fang Yuan pushing him, the door slowly opened.
The scene that was revealed to Fang Yuan caused his field of vision to widen abruptly.
It was no longer a narrow tunnel or a secret room, but a large piece of vast underground stone forest.
Fang Yuan estimated at the initial estimate, the size of the stone forest was over thirty Mu(1)! On earth, a standard football field is only eleven Mu.
"I should be inside Qing Mao mountain right now, this dungeon should have formed naturally." Fang Yuan stared at the stone wall.
The stone walls in this space were over sixteen meters tall, and the ceiling was also made of stone.
From above, there was a large, deep red pillar erected. Each of them emitted a faint red glow, as well as its walls, like tunnels and secret rooms. The light though dim, allowed Fang Yuan to see some things at least.
Fang Yuan looked far away, and each stone pillar was like an overturned tree, except without branches, and only left the trunk.
The surface of the stone pillar was not smooth, and was filled with terrifying dark holes. Many pillars drooped, forming an inverted stone forest within the mountain.
Nature has its way with things.
Fang Yuan with his incredible knowledge, was not surprised, but stared at the dark hole in the pillar, frowning more intensely.
He suddenly understood the Flower Wine Monk's intention in placing Jade Skin Gu.
"If I'm not mistaken ..." Fang Yuan turned his right hand, and came out the moon sword.
The eerie blue moonblade flew across the sky in an arch, right hitting the dark hole in the stone pillar.
A shrill and angry voice came from the dark hole.
With a 'swoosh', the gray monkey flew out of the cave and jumped towards Fang Yuan.
Pow.
Fang Yuan fired three moon swords.
The monkey was in the air and was unable to adjust its position, but its tail was extremely agile, sweeping out several times and causing its body to overturn in midair. After avoiding the two moonblades, it finally hit the third one, dropping down on the floor.
It was dead, without a drop of blood.
Only his gray body turned to stone, and in a second, his flesh and blood body became a stone monkey statue.
The statue's posture and facial expression was exactly like that of a monkey before it died, perfectly imitated. After two breaths of time, the surface of the stone monkey cracked, and cracks developed all over its body. Finally with an explosion, his entire figure exploded into small rock fragments.
"This is really an underground colony of jade-eyed monkeys." Fang Yuan knelt down, swept the fragments aside and took out two jade-green yellow pearls. These two pearls were jade-eyed monkeys.
This strange beast would turn into a shard of gray stone after it died, and only its eyes would turn into two jade-green round pearls. Each one was extremely heavy, reaching at least fifty grams.
This meant that as long as he killed the jade-eyed monkey, the food problem of Gu Jade Skin would be resolved.
“I not only have to feed Jade Skin Gu, I also have to continue the legacy. The next clue of the Flower Wine Monk should be hidden in this stone forest.
Fang Yuan frowned. Things get complicated.
He tried to take a few steps forward, his eyes fixed on the stone pillar.
At his seventh step, on the pillar closest to him, many jade-colored shining eyes were seen peering out from the stone pit.
Instantly, a drop of sweat fell from Fang Yuan's forehead.
He quickly took a step back, and many of the eyeballs in the dark hole faded.
Evidently, each pair of eyeballs meant a jade-eyed monkey. The jade-eyed monkey was extremely agile, and to kill one Fang Yuan had to use four moon blades.
On the stone pillar, there were at least a hundred jade-eyed monkeys, and in the entire forest, who knew how many were there.
With Fang Yuan's current strength, he would die from being attacked by four monkeys. If he were to enter the defense of Jade Skin Gu, Fang Yuan could at most handle twelve monkeys at once.
Fortunately, these monkeys usually sleep in their dark holes and eat stones when they are hungry or thirsty. The stone pillars are their home and food. Unless he was within ten meters of them or provoked them intentionally, they would not come out.
Using the words earth, they are a group of neet/hikikomori monkeys.
