Three days after the caravan left the village.
In the stone forest, a dark red light filled the area.
Huge stone pillars extended down from the top of the cave, like giant trees, forming a majestic grey stone forest.
Fang Yuan fought and retreated in the stone forest.
Squeak squeak squeak …
A group of stone monkeys stared at Fang Yuan with their round green eyes, chasing him relentlessly.
"Moonglow Gu!" Fang Yuan willed, and his right hand lightly slashed towards the direction of the monkey group.
Whoosh.
An eerie blue moonblade, the size of a washbasin, suddenly formed, piercing through the air and directly cutting into the monkey group.
A jade eye stone monkey was flying in the air, unable to borrow any force and was hit by this moonblade.
It did not even have time to scream, and in the next moment, its entire body, from head to toe, was split into two by the moonblade.
Its breath of life had already left it, and the thick smell of death shrouded it.
In an instant, its spirited eyes turned into a pair of jade pearls. As its body fell, it turned into a stone statue.
Bam.
After a crisp sound, the stone statue fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.
The moonblade's radiance only dimmed a little. After killing this stone monkey, its momentum did not diminish, and it slashed towards the back.
Crack crack crack …
After a few crisp sounds, another five to six stone monkeys were killed on the spot.
Squeak squeak squeak!
The death of their comrade made the monkey group even more furious. They screeched loudly and their aura doubled as they charged towards Fang Yuan with an aggressive aura.
Fang Yuan did not panic in the face of danger, his heart as cold as ice. He fought and retreated. As the stone monkeys got closer, he would use the moonblade to counterattack.
The previous Moonlight Gu, even if he used the Little Light Gu to increase its power, could only kill one or two stone monkeys with one moonblade. But with the current Moonglow Gu, as long as it was used once, it could often reap the lives of five to six stone monkeys.
But there were pros and cons. To the current Fang Yuan, the Moonglow Gu's consumption was not low. The consumption was not low.
Every moonblade consumed ten percent of his red steel primeval essence. In Fang Yuan's aperture, his primeval sea was at most 44 percent.
This also meant that. He could only unleash four Moonblades in a single breath.
"If I refine the Four Flavors Liquor Worm and refine my True Essence, I will be able to activate eight Moon Blades in a row. It was a pity … Although I have obtained the second Liquor worm, I have also collected three of the four types of sour, sweet, bitter and spicy wine. I am stuck at the last step with only one left. "Fang Yuan secretly sighed.
After the three moonblades, there was only 14% of the light red primeval essence left in his aperture.
To be safe, he no longer activated the moonblade, but the White Jade Gu.
The group of stone monkeys surrounded them, and the one at the very front jumped to the side of Fang Yuan's feet, then suddenly jumped up. From the bottom up, it used its hard monkey head to hit Fang Yuan's chin.
Fang Yuan snorted coldly and was just about to use his fist to blow up this little monkey who overestimated himself.
But with a sudden thought, he stopped and used his chin to take the attack head-on.
The moment before the collision. A cold, jade-white light appeared on his chin.
There was a dull thud.
The force of the collision burst forth, and Fang Yuan could not help but tilt his head backwards. And that stone monkey fell to the ground, holding its head, screaming and rolling on the ground.
If not for the White Jade Gu, its chin would definitely have been smashed. But now. Other than a slight dizziness, Fang Yuan was unharmed.
But, although he had the White Jade Gu's defense, he still had to bear the force of the collision.
Fang Yuan retreated a few steps before regaining his composure, his eyes regaining clarity.
He purposely endured the stone monkey's headbutt, the goal was to let his body get used to such an attack, to get used to the dizziness.
In the future, if he was in a life and death situation, he would be able to recover faster and struggle for a chance of survival.
Fang Yuan had always been ruthless. This ruthlessness was not only directed at his enemies, but also at himself!
He came here almost every three days to kill the stone monkeys.
His goal was not only to obtain the Flower Wine Monk's strength inheritance, but also to use the stone monkeys to train his own battle strength.
A Gu Master's body quality, martial arts, primeval essence, battle experience, every Gu worm was a factor that affected the overall battle strength of the Gu Master.
Only by combining all these factors together could he display the most powerful combat power.
The stone monkeys were like a hammer, and Fang Yuan was like a freshly forged iron ingot. Every time the hammer struck, it made the iron ingot harder, purer and more condensed.
A quarter of an hour later, the battle was over.
On the ground, there were broken stones everywhere, and among them were jade beads.
"This time I killed forty-one jade eye stone monkeys." Fang Yuan knew this, and would calculate the results every time. From each battle, he would reflect on himself and find out where he was lacking to improve. At the same time, he could feel his own improvement.
"In the battle just now, the Moonglow Gu played a huge role. Three moonblades killed at least seventeen to eighteen stone monkeys, almost half of them. As for the remaining stone monkeys, I killed them with my fists and legs. "
The Moonlight Gu's attack on the stone monkeys was not very effective. But after advancing to the Moonglow Gu, it became Fang Yuan's most powerful attack method.
Not only was its attack power strong, but more importantly, its efficiency was high.
Fang Yuan activated three moonblades, and it only took a few breaths' time from start to finish. He used his fists and legs to hit the stone monkeys, but it took him more than ten minutes.
These stone monkeys were really slippery and agile.
When the stone monkeys stood on the ground, they could not hit them with their fists and legs. With a kick, they could easily jump out and avoid Fang Yuan's attacks.
The only flaw was that when they jumped in the air, they could not borrow any force. When Fang Yuan killed them, he had made use of this flaw.
But this was also because of his rich battle experience. If it was any other Rank two Gu Master, even Chi Shan, Mo Yan, Qing Shu, they would not be able to do it like Fang Yuan, grasping the flaw every time.
His previous life's memories allowed Fang Yuan to capture the fleeting opportunities in battle. He could use every bit of strength precisely, even though he was only Rank two. But he could unleash his battle strength to the extreme.
He would not be like Fangzheng, who had the Jade Skin Gu, but on the stage, he was intimidated by Fang Yuan's aura and could not unleash his battle strength.
Of course, Fang Yuan's current cultivation was still weak. Facing the monkey group, he could not directly push them.
Every time, he had to fight and retreat.
Luckily, the stone monkeys did not have high intelligence. They did not know how to change their attacking methods. They had seen many of their comrades get crushed by Fang Yuan in mid-air, but they still continued to jump and attack Fang Yuan.
At the same time. They chased after Fang Yuan, but every time the distance was too far, their nostalgia for their home would be replaced. This would replace the anger in their hearts. Many stone monkeys would give up on the chase.
The Gu was the essence of heaven and earth, and man was the spirit of all living beings.
Fang Yuan relied on his intelligence to grasp the stone monkeys' habits and use the right tactics to get deeper into the stone forest. Right now, he was at the center of the stone forest.
After doing this several times, Fang Yuan finally exterminated all the monkeys in this stone pillar.
Now, in front of him, was the last stone pillar.
It was the thickest and largest stone pillar in this stone forest. It could be called the king of stone pillars. Even if fifty people hugged it, they would not be able to hug it.
The stone pillar extended down from the top of the wall, almost touching the ground. In the silence, it emitted a majestic aura.
Fang Yuan counted the number of caves above, making a rough estimation. There were at least five hundred stone monkeys. So far, this was the largest group of monkeys he had ever encountered.
But no matter how many jade eye stone monkeys there were, to Fang Yuan, it was just a small problem. At most, he would have to spend some effort and go through it a few more times.
What made his gaze turn serious was. It was a cave at the highest level.
The entrance of this cave was bigger than any of the other caves around it. It was at least twice as big.
The caves below it were closely arranged, as if the stars were surrounding the moon, and the birds were paying homage to the phoenix.
"Seems like there is a monkey king living in this cave." Fang Yuan frowned.
This was where the problem lay.
As long as there was a large group of beasts, there would be a beast king. In a group of wild boars, there would be a King Boar. In a group of stone monkeys, there would naturally be a stone monkey king.
The threat of a beast king was many times higher than that of an ordinary wild beast.
The reason was that there would be one or two parasites on their bodies. These parasites and the beast king had a symbiotic relationship. Once the beast king was attacked, the parasites would also help.
"This jade eye stone monkey king should not be very strong. At the very least, it is weaker than King Boar. Otherwise, the surrounding monkey groups would have long been subdued by it. "Fang Yuan relied on his experience to guess the strength of the stone monkey king.
Generally speaking, the larger the group of beasts, the stronger the beast king. A weak beast king would not have the ability to control a large number of its own kind.
If the beast king's strength was roughly divided according to the size of the group, then from low to high, it could be divided into hundred beast king, thousand beast king, and myriad beast king.
The King Boar that the sickly snake group was trying to kill was a thousand beast king. It controlled more than a thousand wild boars.
The stone monkey king in front of Fang Yuan was a hundred beast king, and it had hundreds of stone monkeys under its command.
The main culprit of the wolf tide, the thunder crown wolf, was a myriad beast king. Each thunder crown wolf could control at least ten thousand lightning wolves.
The difference in strength between these third-grade beast kings was huge.
A thousand beast king usually required three groups to work together in order to hunt it down. The reason why the sickly snake group wanted to deal with King Boar was because King Boar was already heavily injured.
The myriad beast king required the cooperation of the clan elders and clan leader to face it head-on.
As for the hundred beast king, an ordinary five-man group could take care of it.
But Fang Yuan could not rely on external help to deal with this stone monkey king, he could only rely on his own strength.
"Rank two initial stage primeval essence is too weak. It seems it is time to use that red steel Relic Gu. "Fang Yuan took a deep look at the stone cave before returning to the second secret room and closing the stone door.
If the one blocking him was a thousand beast king like King Boar, Fang Yuan would choose to retreat without a second thought.
But now it was a hundred beast king, if Fang Yuan had rank two middle stage cultivation, he could try.
Of course, the result was hard to say. Even if he advanced to middle stage, there was a seventy-five percent chance of failure, and a thirty percent chance of success. ^-^^-^
