In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed. (. _)
Inside the mountain, in the underground stone forest.
Squeak squeak squeak!
Dozens of jade eye stone monkeys appeared in the air, their blurry figures flashing.
They leaped and jumped, launching fierce attacks at Fang Yuan.
If it was before, Fang Yuan would definitely retreat. But now, he stood on the spot, his expression cold and unmoving.
The stone monkeys rammed, scratched, and bit Fang Yuan's body, giving off crisp sounds, as if they were not attacking a person, but a sturdy jade pillar.
A faint white jade light stuck closely to Fang Yuan's body. This layer of light was much thinner than the Jade Skin Gu's jade green light. But its defense was more than twice as strong.
The Jade Skin Gu's defense could at most withstand the simultaneous attacks of sixteen stone monkeys, but now, Fang Yuan was facing more than thirty stone monkeys alone.
"On the stage, I could break Fangzheng's Jade Skin Gu's defense with my bare hands, but if Fangzheng were to use this White Jade Gu, even if I break my bones, I would not be able to break this defense."
Fang Yuan pondered, and at the same time, he split a portion of his attention to his aperture's primeval sea.
In the red steel primeval sea, the White Jade Gu was at the bottom of the sea, absorbing primeval essence. Its surface was also emitting a faint white jade light, like a light bulb.
Every time the stone monkeys attacked Fang Yuan, this oval shaped White Jade Gu's surface would flash slightly.
At the same time, Fang Yuan felt that his primeval essence expenditure had increased.
"The White Jade Gu's defense is the same as the Jade Skin Gu, requiring constant primeval essence. At the same time, the more attacks it receives, the more primeval essence expenditure. "Fang Yuan concluded in his heart.
At the same time, he launched his counterattack.
Punches and kicks created a gust of wind. His moves were simple and ruthless, swift and fierce.
Although the White Boar Gu had disappeared, the power it gave to Fang Yuan was still in Fang Yuan's body.
More and more stone monkeys were struck by Fang Yuan. Some were sent flying and crashed into stone pillars, while others were killed in midair. After turning into stone, they fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
At the same time, as Fang Yuan waved his hand, moonblades flew out one after another. They were like the scythe of the grim reaper, harvesting the lives of the stone monkeys.
Under the activation of the red steel primeval essence, the Rank one Moonlight Gu's every attack dealt the greatest damage to the stone monkey.
Creak creak …
The stone monkey cried out in fear and kept on retreating.
In the short time that Fang Yuan counterattacked, a large number of stone monkeys had perished, and only five or six were left.
Fang Yuan killed another one. The remaining stone monkeys finally broke down and fled into the depths of the stone forest.
Fang Yuan did not chase after the defeated soldiers. Instead, he continued to advance deeper into the center of the stone forest.
These days, he had been diligently searching for the next clue of the inheritance. As he continued to explore, he had already stepped into the surroundings of the stone forest, but he didn't discover anything.
Fang Yuan had an understanding, vaguely guessing the Flower Wine Monk's thoughts. He felt that the next clue was likely to be placed in the center of this underground stone forest by the Flower Wine Monk.
The deeper he went into the stone forest, the larger the stone pillars, and the more stone monkeys there were.
As Fang Yuan walked, he gazed into the distance. In the center of the stone forest, there was the largest stone pillar. Even if a dozen adults held hands and hugged it, they would not be able to hug it.
This stone pillar was his next destination.
However, the deeper he went, the larger the size of the stone monkey groups, and the higher the difficulty would be.
Fang Yuan took the crucial step and broke through the warning line of the monkey group.
Creak creak creak!
From the holes on the stone pillars, angry jade eye stone monkeys drilled out. There were more than a hundred of them, and they pounced towards Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan turned and ran.
Facing the attacks of so many stone monkeys, even with the White Jade Gu, he would not be able to hold them off.
The stone monkey group chased after Fang Yuan for a while, and one after another, the stone monkeys gave up and turned back. Gradually, there were only thirty or so stone monkeys left, hanging behind Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan saw that the time was ripe, and turned to fight.
After a round of fighting, only a few stone monkeys were left, and they ran away in panic, not even daring to return to their original cave.
After a few rounds, Fang Yuan had killed more than a hundred stone monkeys. Along the way, he saw the stone fragments of the dead monkeys.
"Not enough primeval essence." Fang Yuan checked his primeval sea and sighed, having no choice but to stop moving forward.
If it was in the past, he would have used Yuan stone to quickly recover. But now, after refining the White Jade Gu, his Yuan stone was severely lacking, and his finances had completely collapsed.
Fang Yuan picked up the jade stone eyeballs scattered on the ground, and put them into a bag.
"It should be under the stone pillar in the center, but to get there, I need to open a path." This feeling was getting stronger, and Fang Yuan looked back one last time, and opened the stone door, returning to the second secret room.
At the corner of the secret room, there were some miscellaneous items.
A small gunny sack, containing hundreds of eyeball jade beads. Fang Yuan opened it, and poured all the jade beads he had killed today.
The jade beads collided with each other, producing a series of crisp sounds.
There was another gunny sack, containing wild boar tusks. But now, Fang Yuan no longer needed to kill wild boars.
He used the White Boar Gu and Jade Skin Gu to successfully refine the White Jade Gu. With the White Boar Gu gone, his need for pork was reduced to zero.
The newly born White Jade Gu was more like the Jade Skin Gu, and its food was also jade stones.
The Jade Skin Gu needed to eat two taels of jade stones every ten days, while the White Jade Gu needed to feed eight taels of jade stones every twenty days.
Normally, the higher the rank of the Gu, the longer the interval between food intake. Rank two Gu, for the most part, took more than half a month. Rank three Gu took more than a month.
Of course, the higher the rank of the Gu, the more food it needed. On average, the White Jade Gu's feeding cost was more than the Jade Skin Gu and the White Boar Gu combined.
But for Fang Yuan, he had this underground stone forest, and did not lack jade stones. At the same time, he did not need pork, and did not need to kill wild boars, this saved him a lot of trouble, and a lot of time.
Tying up the mouth of the small sack, Fang Yuan picked up a cowhide water bag beside it.
The water bag was bulging, and was filled with golden honey wine. A few days ago, Fang Yuan had relied on the Jade Skin Gu to withstand the attacks of the golden bees, and collected enough honey wine from the beehive.
"I only have two and a half pieces of Yuan stone on me now. It is time to go to the internal affairs hall, and hand in the family assets mission. "
Fang Yuan kept the cowhide water bag, and returned to the underground tunnel, squeezing out of the crack and returning to the outside world.
At this time, it was dusk.
The winter dusk, the weather was good, and one did not feel cold. The setting sun showed a warm orange-red color, and the fine sunlight shone through the canopy of the pine trees, shining on the mountain.
Walking alone, he walked towards the village.
But Fang Yuan did not move forward directly, but purposely took a few detours, to reduce the chances of the rock crack secret cave being discovered.
The winter wind blew on his face, this was the taste of freedom.
When he was in the academy, he could only sneak in at night. Now that Fang Yuan had advanced to Rank two, he could enter and leave freely in the day, and would not arouse suspicion.
Of course, the most important thing was that with the death of Sickly Snake and the other three, Fang Yuan had one less restriction when he was alone.
The only obstacle was that Fang Yuan was alone now, without the support of his team members. Completing the clan's monthly mission would be even more difficult.
Now, after the small beast tide, all the small groups had finished reorganizing, and Fang Yuan had missed this opportunity.
And because of his reputation, Fang Yuan was secretly ostracized by other Gu Masters. It was not easy to join other groups.
"So be it. The more I wander outside, the less people will pay attention to me, and the more advantageous it is for me. As for the clan's monthly missions, they are mandatory, so I have to accept them. But … "
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan's eyes shone with a cold light. He had a plan for this long ago.
On the clan's side, it was mandatory for Gu Masters to accept at least one mission every month, but it was not mandatory that the mission must be completed.
If the mission could not be completed, the evaluation would drop. This was something that almost all Gu Masters did not want to see, so they did their best to complete it.
But to Fang Yuan, the so-called evaluation was nothing!
Walking into the village, on the bluestone paved streets, there was an endless stream of pedestrians.
Usually at this time, it was the peak of the human traffic.
Many Gu Masters, after completing their missions, returned to the village with injuries and a sorry figure. The farmers, who had worked for a day, dragged their tired bodies with their bare feet and muddy feet, silently moving forward.
In this world, life was not easy, there was bitterness and pain.
The setting sun gradually lowered to the top of the mountain, spreading the last bit of warm light. Then this light was shattered by the crisscrossing withered tree branches, turning into fragments of time, scattering on the green bamboo walls.
"Ah, my toy." A girl shouted, chasing a spinning top in the crowd.
The spinning top rolled to Fang Yuan's feet, and the girl knocked into Fang Yuan's leg, falling to the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I've offended Lord Gu Master, please forgive me! "The girl's father hurried over, seeing Fang Yuan's clothing, his face was pale as paper. He brought the girl, kneeling down on the spot, kowtowing to Fang Yuan non-stop.
The girl was so scared that she cried, her eyes rolling down from her pink and tender face.
The mortals on the side of the road saw this, and all took a detour, avoiding to the left and right.
Some Gu Masters cast cold gazes, but quickly shifted away.
"Don't cry, you troublemaker!" The father was shocked, angry and scared, swinging his hand to slap, but was grabbed by Fang Yuan, unable to move.
"It's just a small matter, no need to worry." Fang Yuan smiled lightly, patting the girl's head, comforting her softly, "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen."
The girl stopped crying, using her watery eyes to look at Fang Yuan, feeling that this big brother in front of her was really gentle.
"Thank you lord for your forgiveness, thank you lord for your forgiveness!" The girl's father cried tears of joy, kowtowing to Fang Yuan non-stop.
Fang Yuan continued to move forward.
The house he rented was not far away.
And under that bamboo building, his uncle Guyue stood on the frozen soil, looking at Fang Yuan from afar, evidently waiting for him.
