"Guyue Fang Yuan?" Hearing this name, the clan elders looked at each other.
But they knew this person. In fact, ever since the beginning, Guyue Fang Yuan's name had been ringing in their ears.
Especially after the Awakening Ceremony, when he started his Gu Master cultivation, this kid became even more troublesome, often causing trouble and attracting attention.
"Oh, I remember him. Some time ago, this kid sold his parents' inheritance and bought a red steel Relic Gu, right? "An elder suddenly realized.
Guyue Lian and Guyue Mo Chen heard this and their expressions turned ugly.
If the red steel Relic Gu was used by Chi Shan or Mo Yan, it could help one of them reach Rank two peak stage, and they would be able to contend against Guyue Qing Shu.
This was reflected to the higher-ups, and whether it was the Mo faction or the Chi faction, it was a political victory. But who could have thought that this prodigal kid would ruin their plans!
"But speaking of which, this kid does have some strength. Back then on the stage, he broke the Jade Skin Gu's defense with two punches and beat Fangzheng to the ground, becoming the top scorer. "An elder recalled.
This time, it was clan leader Guyue Bo's turn to show a trace of embarrassment.
Guyue Fangzheng was specially nurtured by him. Fangzheng's failure, in a sense, was his clan leader's failure.
As long as one entered the system, anyone would be labelled as a faction. There were neutral factions in politics, but there was no such thing as a faction free person.
"But in terms of strength, I'm afraid his strength cannot compare to Chi Shan's, right?" Chi Lian asked suspiciously.
Chi Shan replied respectfully, "Clan elders might not know, but Fang Yuan not only bought the red steel Relic Gu, he also bought a Black Boar Gu. These few months, he has been buying wild boar meat to feed the Black Boar Gu and increase his strength. Once, I saw him moving a huge rock on a hill, measuring his strength. Once, I saw him moving a boulder on a hillside to measure his strength. But from what I saw, I don't know how much strength he has at his maximum. But from what I saw. I know his strength will not lose to mine. "
"I see. I didn't expect Fang Yuan to have grown to such an extent. "Guyue Bo nodded. "Then let's order Fang Yuan's group to try again."
Hearing this, the Internal Affairs Hall Elder stood up from his seat with an awkward expression. He stood up and said, "Lord Clan Leader, please allow me to report. This Fang Yuan is currently alone and has yet to join the team."
"What does that mean?" Guyue Bo frowned slightly.
"It's like this. Ever since the first beast tide, the group he was in was almost completely annihilated, and he was the only survivor. "The Internal Affairs Hall Elder replied.
"Even if that's the case, why didn't you include him in the reorganization?" An elder asked curiously.
"Sigh!" The Internal Affairs Hall Elder sighed deeply, "I've also warned him about this, but he has no intention of joining the team. To be honest, I don't like this kid. He's the best at playing tricks. I'm afraid he's lost his fighting spirit after inheriting that inheritance. "
"Playing tricks? That's impossible. If he doesn't have a team, how can he complete the clan's monthly missions? "An elder asked suspiciously.
The Internal Affairs Hall Elder's face completely darkened, "He takes on the mandatory missions every month. But he fails every time. His track record is the worst I've ever seen. Almost all of them are mission failures. I've talked to him a few times, but he's still doing things his own way without any remorse. But he didn't violate the clan's rules, so I have no qualms in punishing this kind of stubborn and crafty kid! "
The elders looked at each other. They had never seen a younger generation who didn't seek to improve himself.
The more missions he failed. It meant that his future in the clan was smaller.
"This kid is muddle-headed …"
"Hmph, simply stubborn and crafty!"
"He's destroying his own future!"
"If I have such a mischievous younger generation, I'll directly slap him to death!"
"Alright." Guyue Bo raised his hand, stopping the elders' whispers, his expression unreadable.
Guyue Bo's gaze looked around, finally stopping at the Internal Affairs Hall Elder, "Enforce the order, Guyue Fang Yuan, go to the River Swallowing Toad and let him help. This kid is stubborn and unruly, and he's used to being free and undisciplined. He needs to be polished. If he fails, we can use this to punish him. "
"Yes, lord clan leader." The Internal Affairs Hall Elder quickly replied.
…
The wine tavern was bustling with noise.
"Do you know, just now, the clan sent the Chi Shan group to the foot of the mountain, but they returned in failure."
"The villagers at the foot of the mountain are blocking the entrance of the village, kneeling on the ground."
"Hmph, these lowly commoners have no knowledge at all. What is the River Swallowing Toad? It's a Rank five Gu. Do they really think they'll be safe hiding in the village? "
Although they said so, the atmosphere of panic was getting thicker and thicker. These Gu Masters were forcing themselves to calm down.
Fang Yuan listened for a while longer, but there was no new information. Just as he was about to leave, a person walked into the wine tavern.
His body was tall and sturdy, and his upper body was scarlet red with bulging muscles.
It was Guyue Shan.
The discussions in the wine tavern immediately stopped, and countless gazes landed on Chi Shan.
Chi Shan did not care about these gazes, only sweeping his gaze around and seeing Fang Yuan.
"So you're here." Under everyone's gaze, he walked to Fang Yuan, "Let's go, the clan has already given the order, we'll talk about the details on the way. First, follow me to the foot of the mountain."
Fang Yuan's gaze flashed, he could not refuse such an order. Moreover, even if he faced the River Swallowing Toad, the danger was not high, so he nodded and agreed.
Only after Fang Yuan and Chi Shan left the wine tavern, did the wine tavern become noisy again.
"Shopkeeper, the heavens have eyes. Look, this karma came so quickly! That is a Rank five Gu worm, even the other Gu Masters are helpless against it. He is so young, wouldn't he just be throwing his life away! "
"I had thought that young master Fang Yuan would be different from the other Gu Masters, being able to empathize with us servants' pain and suffering. Hmph, to think you are the same. Die, die, there is no pity in dying. "
"Shopkeeper, your injuries are not for nothing. You didn't suffer this injury for nothing, losing a Gu Master's life is definitely worth it. "
The old shopkeeper's head was already wrapped in white bandages, and right now he was groaning non-stop, weakly leaning against the wall.
A few waiters surrounded him, trying to console him.
A trace of resentment flashed in the old man's eyes as he listened to these words. Hearing these words, his mood became slightly better.
But after listening for a while, he pretended to berate in a low voice, "All of you shut up, are these words something we can say? Aren't we afraid of losing our heads if other Gu Masters hear us! "
The waiters laughed, "Shopkeeper, you are too careful. The tavern is so noisy, who would hear us talking so softly? "
Just as they finished speaking, a Gu Master sitting closest to them interrupted. "I heard you."
The expressions of the shopkeeper and the waiters changed drastically. They were terrified to the extreme.
"Lord …" The old shopkeeper did not care about the dizziness in his head, and quickly went to the Gu Master to beg for mercy.
This male Gu Master raised his hand, stopping him.
"What you said is very good, I like it. Fang Yuan, this little bastard, his death is not to be regretted! Say something like this again, if you say it well, I will reward you greatly! "The male Gu Master took out a Yuan stone, and smacked it. Smacking it on the table.
If Fang Yuan was here, he would recognize this person. It was the healing Gu Master from the small beast tide. Fang Yuan used the girl he loved as a shield, blocking in front of him. Because of this, he hated Fang Yuan deeply, and had not been able to resolve it.
The waiters looked at each other in dismay. One of the more daring ones stared at the Yuan stone on the table, his eyes staring straight at it.
The male Gu Master's three companions, however, frowned, but they could not persuade him. He could only listen to the few employees scolding Fang Yuan as they fought to outdo each other.
Early autumn. A beautiful scenery.
In the forest, the leaves were deep, and shallow. The green leaves reflected the yellow leaves, and the yellow leaves faintly contrasted with the red leaves.
In the paddy fields, patches of yellow rice grains rippled with the autumn wind.
In some lush green vegetable fields, the tender leaves were fresh and delicious.
Fang Yuan sped along the mountainside, following the Chi Shan group to the foot of the mountain, and saw this Rank five River Swallowing Toad.
Its body was huge, like a small mountain. It laid in the riverbed, blocking the river. The river upstream was filled with water, about to overflow. But downstream, the flow was almost cut off, with only a small amount nourishing the riverbed.
The River Swallowing Toad's belly was facing upwards, snow white and delicate, covered with a layer of luster. Its back, on the other hand, was the color of a clear blue sky. It was also smooth, without the warts on a normal toad's back.
It was currently lying down, snoring loudly. But it did not snore, sleeping peacefully and gently.
Feeling its aura, the two Liquor worms in Fang Yuan's aperture shrunk into a ball. The Black Boar Gu swept away its cheerful mood, flying very low. The Moonglow Gu residing in his right palm, retracted its light.
Only the Spring Autumn Cicada was still sleeping peacefully.
Fang Yuan also kept the Moonglow Gu into his aperture. As long as he did not activate these Gu worms, their aura would not leak out. Placing them in the aperture was very safe.
"Fang Yuan, the rest is up to you." Chi Shan said.
On the way here, he explained most of the situation.
Fang Yuan also approved of this method. Of course, the simplest method was to use the Spring Autumn Cicada. As long as the Rank six Gu worm's aura leaked out, this River Swallowing Toad would flee in panic.
Of course, this was also because the River Swallowing Toad did not like to fight. If it was a violent Gu like the Blood River Python, the Spring Autumn Cicada's aura would cause it to go berserk and attack crazily.
Fang Yuan stood on the river bank, trying to push it. The River Swallowing Toad's skin was slippery, giving him a feeling that he could not exert any strength.
Adding on its heavy weight, it did not budge at all.
"Are you sure you can do it?" Crimson Castle said sarcastically.
Fang Yuan ignored him, saying to Chi Shan, "Although I have the Black Boar Gu to increase my strength, but in terms of strength, I am only slightly stronger than you. But to move this River Swallowing Toad, it is not impossible, I still need your help. "
"How?" Chi Shan immediately asked.
Fang Yuan said slowly. Chi Shan showed a trace of doubt, "Then, aren't we cooperating? Even if the River Swallowing Toad wakes up, will it still acknowledge you and willingly admit defeat? "
Fang Yuan laughed, "You don't have to worry about this. As long as you are a bit further away, making it unable to sense you, it will naturally work. It is after all a Gu worm, don't think it is that smart. "
