Gao Xianzhi and Chen Tianshan rode on their cloud beasts and soared into the sky. However, the two did not notice that there were already many abnormalities around Carefree Valley.
However, these abnormalities were not as obvious as they appeared.
An indescribable fragrance wafted out and spread in all directions of Carefree Valley. The fragrance was very faint and very peculiar. Even Gao Xianzhi and Chen Tianshan could not detect it.
Under a large tree, a group of ants was walking in formation with food in their mouths. Suddenly, a fragrance wafted over.
"Buzz!"
All the ants immediately paused. They turned their heads and threw away the food in their mouths.
The ants turned around and slowly crawled in the direction of the fragrance.
The ants were very small, but there were many of them.
The fragrance was very faint, but it was a fatal temptation to the ants.
The fragrance spread in all directions, attracting more and more ants from farther and farther away.
The ants put down everything and continuously crawled toward Gu Hai's cave.
The ants were too small, so they crawled very slowly. When they were hungry, they would find something to eat along the way. When they were tired, they would rest for a while. After they recovered their strength, they would continue crawling toward Gu Hai's cave.
These tiny ants did not catch Gao Xianzhi and Chen Tianshan's attention at all.
Who would have thought that they were ants?
Two days after Gao Xianzhi and Chen Tianshan left, the first batch of ants slowly gathered in Carefree Valley. However, even so, they were still very inconspicuous.
The first batch of ants did not charge toward Gu Hai's cave. Instead, they fought with each other.
As more and more ants gathered in Carefree Valley, they slowly approached the cave.
Gao Xianzhi and Chen Tianshan hid the entrance of the cave, leaving only a few small holes for ventilation. However, to the ants, this was a broad path. Furthermore, the ants could dig their own holes.
Inside the cave:
Xiaorou was arranged to stay behind to take care of Gu Hai. With regards to this request, Xiaorou naturally agreed without hesitation. Furthermore, she was extremely happy.
Seeing Gu Hai sitting cross-legged there, Xiao Rou slowly swam to Gu Hai's side. She circled around Gu Hai, coiled around him, and gently rested her head on Gu Hai's leg. Smelling the fragrance emitted from Gu Hai's forehead, she was incomparably intoxicated.
Gu Hai's consciousness sank into the space between his eyebrows.
At this moment, the one hundred thousand Go puzzles continuously paired up and merged. The four small Go puzzles turned into one large Go puzzle.
The black Go piece was still cold and elegant, looking down from above, not moving at all.
The illusory body of Gu Hai's consciousness stared at the white crystal below the black chess piece. On the white crystal, there were twenty-eight lines of latitude and longitude. The chess pieces on the twenty-eight latitude and longitude chessboard moved faster and faster.
Gu Hai's mind seemed to be drawn. Gradually, Gu Hai seemed to see something.
"Using Go to control ritual arrays?" The eyes of the illusory body of Gu Hai's consciousness lit up.
"Is this Go board demonstrating to me how to use the Go pieces to form a ritual array? The Dao of ritual arrays is complicated, split into Yin and Yang, balancing each other. The white Go piece is Yang, controlling life. The black Go piece is Yin, controlling death. The Go Dao is the Dao of Ritual Arrays? Using the Go pieces as the zeros to form a large Go formation? Old Man Guanqi's Go Dao ritual array? The stronger one's Go skills, the stronger the ritual array? "Gu Hai exclaimed in shock.
Perhaps the ritual array was not that simple. However, the Go board before Gu Hai was demonstrating a special way to lay a ritual array. Using Go to lay a ritual array was not just a Yin-Yang ritual array or a Life and Death ritual array. Go power was the ritual array's power.
The Go board before Gu Hai seemed to be demonstrating all the details of a ritual array using Go power.
This was teaching Gu Hai, teaching Gu Hai how to turn Go power into combat prowess. This was more attractive to Gu Hai than any other cultivation technique.
Gu Hai possessed powerful Go power, but Go power could only be used for self-entertainment, for intelligent calculations or for specific circumstances. However, the demonstration of the Go board before Gu Hai was teaching him how to turn his Go power into a technique with destructive power.
The stronger one's Go power, the greater the destructive power.
This was a method to turn Gu Hai's theory into practice. It turned out that Go power had such a wondrous use.
"This Go board is demonstrating a kind of balance, the balance of a Go power ritual array? Demonstrating all sorts of sudden changes? Old Man Guanqi truly lived up to his reputation as the number one Go player in the world. So, this is also a kind of Heavenly Dao? "Gu Hai's eyes flashed with resolve.
At this moment, Gu Hai became even more focused, completely immersed in this Go board. It was like he did not want to miss out on any mistakes. Perhaps only someone with extraordinary Go power like Gu Hai could see so deeply. If it were anyone else, they would only see an ordinary Go board.
The Go stones on the Go board moved, giving off a faint fragrance of energy. As the fragrance wafted out, Xiaorou smelled it and looked at Gu Hai in a daze.
After some time:
"Ah!"
Xiaorou suddenly felt a sharp pain at her tail. It felt like a wound had opened, and blood leaked out.
Xiaorou startled awake and turned her head to look.
"Ah!"
Xiaorou shrieked. Then, she saw blood flowing out of her tail. Furthermore, thousands of ants crawled out of the wound, drinking her blood. However, this was not the scariest thing. The scariest thing was that ants had already crawled all over the cave, covering the sky and the ground.
"How can it be like this? How can it be like this? "Xiaorou exclaimed.
"Bang!"
Xiaorou curled her body and swung her tail. Immediately, a large number of ants flew out.
However, ants were already crawling all over the cave. The entrance of the cave was densely packed, as if a small mountain had been piled up to block the entrance.
"Why are there so many ants? Why are there so many ants? "Xiaorou exclaimed.
Xiaorou turned her head to look at Gu Hai.
"Benefactor, quickly wake up. Oh no, Benefactor!" Xiaorou felt so anxious that she wanted to cry.
However, at this moment, Gu Hai was already completely immersed in that Go board. More and more of his attention was drawn to the Go board. The Go Dao ritual array looked simple. However, it contained too many variables. Even with Gu Hai's astonishing mental power, he needed to focus fully at this moment.
Once Gu Hai focused fully, it was like he could not hear anything outside.
"Benefactor, quickly wake up!" Xiaorou called out anxiously.
However, Gu Hai could not wake up immediately.
Countless ants swarmed towards Gu Hai.
"Oh no! It's the fragrance! It must be that fragrance!" Xiaorou exclaimed.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The ants continuously swarmed towards Gu Hai.
"Don't touch my benefactor! Don't touch my benefactor! Go and die!" Xiaorou screamed.
"Bam!" "Bam!" "Bam!"
Xiaorou's snake tail moved quickly, shaking off the ants and shaking them off. However, the ants were too small. Xiaorou's tail could not get rid of all of them. Some managed to slip through the cracks and continue to swarm towards Gu Hai.
Xiaorou felt incredibly anxious as she continuously attacked the ants.
"No, no, there are more and more ants. We have to bring Benefactor away. Otherwise, the ants will eat us up sooner or later!" Xiaorou exclaimed.
Ants were small and did not have much killing power. However, if there were too many of them, it would be a different story. Many a little makes a mickle, and water accumulates into a sea. This was the case for ants. Xiao Rou already had two small wounds on her body.
Xiaorou looked at the cave entrance.
"Scram! Scram! Scram!"
Boom!
Xiaorou charged towards the cave entrance, knocking aside large numbers of ants. She wanted to break open the cave and bring Gu Hai away.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Countless ants blocked the passageway. Although Xiaorou gained intelligence, she did not have the corresponding cultivation. After all, Xiaorou was only eight years old. How could she have any Magic Energy? She could only rely on brute force.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out as Xiaorou broke open the cave entrance. The trees and rocks blocking the cave entrance were immediately knocked aside.
However, after breaking open the cave entrance, Xiaorou suddenly froze at the entrance, stunned by the scene outside.
"Gasp!"
Xiaorou sucked in a breath of cold air.
Carefree Valley outside was completely black, looking like a black sea.
Furthermore, this black sea was made up of countless ants.
The boundless ants surged over like the waves of the sea.
"Ah!"
Xiaorou immediately started crying in shock.
Xiaorou was already tired of dealing with the ants in the cave. However, the black sea outside Carefree Valley seemed to destroy her last bit of hope.
It was like the entire world was filled with ants.
"Why are there so many? Why are there so many? Benefactor! Benefactor! "Xiaorou cried in fright.
However, when Xiaorou turned her head to look, she saw that a large number of ants had already crawled over to Gu Hai.
"No! Don't hurt Benefactor! You ants! Scram! Scram!" Xiaorou immediately rushed over and continuously used her tail to slap the ants away, helping Gu Hai to get rid of the ant army on him.
Whoosh! The ants did not know fatigue. Outside, more and more ants swarmed in.
"Benefactor, quickly wake up! Sob! Sob! Quickly wake up!" Xiaorou cried in fright.
Xiaorou continuously swung her tail, shaking off the ants around Gu Hai. Many wounds appeared on her hard snake skin. Although some ants were small, their bites were very strong, inflicting pain on Xiaorou time and time again.
"Benefactor!" Xiaorou cried continuously.
However, Gu Hai could not hear her at all.
In the blink of an eye, it was like seawater had poured into the cave. A layer of ants floated in the cave, along with countless ant corpses. This group of ants seemed to want to eat up Gu Hai, to get to the source of the fragrance.
The ants were more interested in the fragrance. They bit Xiaorou because Xiaorou was blocking them. If Xiaorou rushed out, she could still escape from this sea of ants. However, Xiaorou did not. Xiaorou kept swinging her tail, swinging until she had no strength left.
"What should I do? What should I do? "
Xiaorou quickly wrapped around Gu Hai and dragged Gu Hai out of the cave.
"Scram! Scram!" Xiaorou screamed in horror.
Everywhere she went, millions of ants crawled on her body. They continuously bit her. It was like they wanted her to put down Gu Hai and let them eat him.
"I won't let you hurt Benefactor. I won't. Sob! Sob! Benefactor, quickly wake up. What should I do?" Xiaorou cried as she fled.
The ants on her body continuously clung to her, biting her tail until it bled.
Xiaorou wrapped around Gu Hai and rushed out of the cave. However, Gu Hai was the source of the fragrance. Wherever Gu Hai went, the army of ants would follow.
Boom! Boom! Boom …!
Xiaorou's tail flailed as she rushed out of the valley. However, the boundless ants did their best to pounce and bite her.
Xiaorou clenched her teeth and swung her tail as she cried. Her body was already bitten to the point of bleeding. The heart-wrenching pain nearly made her faint. However, she persisted.
"I can't sleep. If I sleep, Benefactor will be eaten by the ants. Sob! Sob! I can't sleep. I have to protect Benefactor!" Xiaorou's conviction supported her.
However, there were too many ants outside. After Xiaorou escaped, she was already lost in the sea of ants. She could no longer tell north from south. Furthermore, the ants did not decrease. Instead, they increased in number.
More blood flowed out. Xiaorou did not know how long she persisted, but her body was already a bloody mess. She was so weak that she nearly fainted several times.
"I can't sleep, I can't sleep!" Xiao Rou shook her bloody tail while trembling.
At the same time: Above the white crystal on Gu Hai's forehead:
Clack!
When the final white piece was placed on the chessboard, the entire chessboard suddenly exploded. It completely dispersed, turning into a final burst of energy that dissipated. It was also the final burst of fragrance that was released.
"Buzz!"
Gu Hai's heart trembled as he finally sobered up.
"What a strong Go ritual array!" Gu Hai exclaimed in shock.
It was finally over. Gu Hai could still savor the earlier scenes. Great joy surged into Gu Hai's heart. He understood that he had obtained a great inheritance. Or rather, he had learned a great way to use the Go Dao. With this inheritance, his strength would definitely improve by several levels.
Gu Hai immersed himself in excitement. Suddenly, a voice could be vaguely heard.
"I can't sleep! I can't sleep!"
Xiaorou's extremely weak voice entered Gu Hai's ears.
"Huh?" Gu Hai's main body suddenly opened its eyes.
