Chapter 93: Hordes of small animals

"Run faster, don't miss it!"

"Klan in front is fighting a bloody battle, they're waiting for our backup."

“Follow carefully, or you will easily lose your way in the middle of the battle at night. Newcomers better pay special attention!”

On the way back to the village, there would be a group of five people from time to time running hastily past Fang Yuan's side.

"Did something happen?" He had yet to walk over five hundred meters when Fang Yuan saw the thirteenth group.

Inevitably he pondered, but to be honest, with the memories of five hundred years, it was too excessive and messy. Mentioning this, even though Fang Yuan was reborn, he never released his old memories.

However, most of his memories were shrouded in a thick layer of fog, and if he tried to take it by force, he would only get lost in the fog, gaining more losses than profits.

Just a few deep and powerful memories that were like sparkling and translucent pearls that flowed through his previous life for five hundred years like connected threads.

It is clear that what is happening right now, is actually not in any of these pearls.

His life in Gu Yue Village was only the beginning of the previous period, it had been too long. In addition to that…

“There is a possibility that this has never happened in my life before, but because of my change, the butterfly effect occurs and causes a change in the environment.”

Just like that, he walked while contemplating. Unknowingly, Fang Yuan reached the northern gate of the village.

Coincidentally, there was another group that was about to depart.

“Eh?” Upon seeing Fang Yuan, only one person from this group stopped. "Fang Yuan, why are you still here?"

"What's wrong?" Fang Yuan raised his eyes and looked at this person. It was none other than his schoolmate, Gu Yue Chi Cheng.

Chi Cheng immediately frowned and said, “Yeah, you still don't know? There was a wave of small-scale beasts forming near the village. If we let it go, it will slowly become a wave of large-scale ferocious beasts. When that happens, the villages at the foot of the mountain will be destroyed. Without those lowly humans and slaves, sometimes we are also in a difficult position.”

“Oh, so like this?” Fang Yuan's gaze flashed.

Reminded like this, he could recall that such a thing had indeed happened in his memories.

In this world, it was difficult for humanity to survive. Every few years, a wave of ferocious beasts would occur. Humans need resources and living space. This was no different from ferocious beasts and insects, they also needed such things!

To explain beast tides as a war between beasts and humans, perhaps this would be easier to understand.

Taking Qing Mao Mountain for example, every three years there would be a wave of large-scale wolves attacking every large mountain village.

“According to my calculations, the real explosion of the wolf wave will occur next year. However, this small-scale beast wave, was a subsidiary of it. The wolf pack would continue to grow stronger and larger, and this would cause the other beast groups around the area to lose their residences. When this effect accumulates, when it reaches the maximum limit, it will cause the migration of the group of beasts. Animal group migration will naturally affect other animal groups.”

“Under such intertwined influence, there is a chance that its influence will expand and cause all kinds of animal groups to move, causing beast waves to form from this matter. If this problem is not controlled in time, the tide will only get bigger. Although it is still unable to harm the existence of Gu Yue village, if we allow it, the strength of the village will be greatly reduced.”

"Wait on! This is it.. Heh heh heh.” There was suddenly a glint in his eyes, but Fang Yuan immediately turned his gaze down, hiding the change in his eyes.

Seeing that Fang Yuan did not say anything, Chi Cheng continued to speak. “Currently, the internal affairs hall and the outer affairs hall have both given orders to mobilize, they declared this as an urgent mission. Fang Yuan, don't you think of playing around. Your group is gone in the morning, you must also go. But…"

As he spoke up to this point, Chi Cheng deliberately let out his intonation, “Danger lurks everywhere during the wave of ferocious beasts. All kinds of ferocious beasts roamed around, and most importantly fighting at night was much more dangerous than during the day. You are only a small rank one Master Gu, unlike a rank two like me, you must be careful. Heh heh heh!”

As he said this, he deliberately raised his head high and puffed out his chest, stroking his own belt, his expression happily satisfied and proud.

The belt was no longer a green rank one belt, but a second rank Master Gu red belt. At the same time on the metal plate in the belt, there was the word '2'.

Thanks to the help of his grandfather Gu Yue Chi Lian, he rose to second rank not long ago.

"I've just heard about this news, but since this is the case." Fang Yuan suddenly smiled and said, “Then I will follow you guys and leave together. Once in the front line, I will leave the team and return to my team.”

"What's? Urgh, who wants to take you!” Chi Cheng folded his hands, his mouth twitching in disdain.

Fang Yuan's tone was far away. “The clan rules stated: The Master Gu who was left behind must join the group closest to their location, they have an obligation to continue fighting. Chi Cheng, you don't even know this?”

"You!" Chi Cheng glared, almost flaming.

“Indeed, this is the case,” Chi Shan who had been watching quietly finally spoke.

His body stature was almost two meters tall, and his figure was strong and powerful. His upper body was bare, his muscles hard and hard like metal. His entire body was covered in a fiery red skin that seemed to faintly emit hot air.

No doubt, he was the leader of this group.

Seeing him speak, even Chi Cheng who was the heir of the Chi faction, shut up.

Chi Shan expressionlessly looked at Fang Yuan, continuing, "Let's go, follow along."

His voice was low and deep, his words short and simple. There was an aura of her that made people barely question her.

Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, assuming him to agree.

Chi Cheng let out a cold laugh, his gaze concealing an evil intent as he looked towards Fang Yuan, speaking in a firm and strange tone, "Then you better go ahead!"

Fang Yuan did not reply.

“Hmph, why do we have to drag it everywhere. Only Master Gu is rank one. ” Chi Cheng muttered to himself angrily, but since he was obstructed by the authority of Chi Shan, he did not dare to act brashly.

Instantly, a group of six people set out from the entrance, followed the mountain path and ran down the slope.

As they ran, the Chi Shan Group began to show a graceful demeanor as one of the three strongest groups.

Each of them had rhythmic breathing, their footsteps quick and easy. Only Chi Cheng seemed to be in a difficult situation, but he would use the Scarlet Pill Cricket Gu from time to time, chasing reluctantly. It was also seen that he had received a good teaching, because although he often staggered along the way, at least he never fell.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, with one hand movement from Chi Shan, the group quickly stopped their steps.

huff…

Chi Cheng was left behind by three hundred meters, and he was the last to catch up. His face was pale and he was panting, his gaze unimaginable as he looked at Fang Yuan.

During the journey Fang Yuan had always followed behind, and until now his breathing had only been a little heavy. He did not look the slightest bit like a newcomer who had just graduated.

“Chi Cheng, remember, set your physical strength,” Chi Shan turned his head back and advised Chi Cheng. Then he swept his gaze past Fang Yuan, his eyes showing a hint of praise.

The gazes that some of the other group members gave toward Fang Yuan also softened slightly.

“We will approach the beast wave there. Chi Cheng and Fang Yuan, come to the middle of the team.” Chi Shan looked at the pitch-black mountain forest before him as he spoke.

This sentence made Fang Yuan reevaluate Chi Shan.

This big stone of a man really has tolerance. The middle of the group is often the safest place. Although Fang Yuan was not a person of the Mo bloodline, Chi Shan still maintained a way of protecting newcomers. To compare it to Jiao San's sickly snake, the latter would immediately pale in comparison.

The sky was already completely dark, and the black clouds were multi-layered, causing the snow accumulation to also become dark and gloomy.

The Chi Shan group had changed their group formation. Their speed decreased drastically as they dashed slowly through the complicated terrain in the mountain forest.

Fang Yuan and Chi Cheng were in the middle of the group, where on the left side was a large Chi Shan, while the right side was an old man. Behind them was a young woman with long watery blue hair.

And in front of them was a male Master Gu named Chi She.

He was the Gu Master scout of this group, and he let out a hissing sound. From time to time he would stick his tongue into the air.

Currently his tongue had a small gap in between, becoming a bright red forked snake tongue. As they went deeper into the mountain forest, their surroundings began to show ferocious beasts running wild.

Suddenly Chi She opened her mouth and spoke, “In front of us, three medium-sized animals have appeared. Alleged wild deer.”

"The milk." Chi Shan's expression did not change as he immediately gave the order.

The six-manned group did not change their direction; they continued to chase forward. Three wild deer appeared before them, quickly changing direction and dispersing themselves.

Not long after, Chi She's expression changed. “A group of medium sized creatures. Allegedly as a turtle monkey.”

"Remove," said Chi Shan.

The small group immediately broke into the left side, passing through this troublesome group of apes.

This was the benefit of having Gu Master scout, he could anticipate and inform early, letting them make accurate decisions from him.

“Chi She might use Gu Tongue Snake. This second-ranked Gu worm can sense hot temperatures. But he has three very obvious weaknesses — first, his perception radius is small, second he is easily disturbed. Third, it could not detect the cold-blooded creatures. But no matter what, it was better than not having any detection. I have reached Rank two now, and in the future to survive in the wild, I also need a Gu-type detector, ”think Fang Yuan.

Suddenly Chi She immediately spoke, “Moderate sized creature, supposedly a white tiger. He found us and quickly approached!”

"Involving." Chi Shang's tone was calm and calm.

Roars!

A ferocious tiger leaped out from the bushes in front of them, and the group met in person. Without Chi She's prior warning, perhaps they would have been caught unprepared.

But now, the group had long anticipated.

First, the old Master Gu on the right suddenly patted his cheek and then spewed out a white viscous substance.

The substance suddenly expanded in the air, becoming a huge spider web. It used its strong viscosity and trapped a full white tiger in the face.

The white tiger fought hard in the net, and Chi Shan immediately stepped forward and brandished his fist, hitting the tiger's head.

His fists gleamed golden, and with a bang, the tiger's head shattered into pieces. The white tiger died in one breath.

The group did not stop to stay behind, but instead walked over the tiger's body and continued forward. Chi She took Chi Shan's place again and ran in front, leading.

Through the whole process it is like a moving cloud and flowing water. All members of the group showed mutual understanding.

“That whole process doesn't take more than three seconds. If I were now the one facing the tiger alone, I would need at least five minutes to compete. ” Fang Yuan's gaze flickered.

This Master Gu was also second rank like him, but the main difference was still the Gu worm.

They all used Gu rank two worms, and this allowed them to bring out the best in each other. However, all of the Gu in Fang Yuan's hands were still rank one.

Gu Master, Gu Master, Gu said before the Master said, signifying that the Gu worm has a great impact on Master Gu's fighting strength. (1)

“Although I have risen to rank two, I still need to have rank two Gu to be able to display the fighting strength of a rank two Gu Master. Yet currently I don't have many ancient stones on me, I have used most of the breaking into Rank two. Refining two Gu worms together will also consume a lot of ancient stones.”

As Fang Yuan was thinking this, Chi She who was in front of him suddenly said, "I found that group of sickly snakes."

(1) The Chinese sometimes like to repeat things when emphasizing things. Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu... Gu and Master! Gu is in front of Master, Gu is very important.
