All the way until the evening, the Gu competition finally ended.
On the alliance slope, the Gu Masters from the three clans were no longer as divided as before. Gu Masters filled the entire hillside, and only three groups of people could be vaguely seen.
Gu competition was a form of venting, and also a form of compromise.
In this world where strength was the number one value, having strength would gain respect, and there would be a basis for cooperation.
Ever since Xiong Li challenged Fang Yuan, no other Gu Masters came to find him.
Fang Yuan was only a newbie, and had not interacted much with the Gu Masters of the other two clans, and had no grudges or feelings. As for the Gu Masters in the village, they would never challenge their own clansmen in such a situation.
Especially when Fang Yuan admitted defeat, it made the other Gu Masters lose interest in him. Such a 'lazy', 'cowardly' opponent, even if they won, what was there to brag about?
There were two ways to not be stepped on. One was to become an expert, so strong that no one dared to step on you. The second was to become dog shit, and no one would bother to step on you.
Fang Yuan did not care about dog shit or the reputation of an expert. He always did things by fair means or foul, and only cared about the results. No one challenged him, and this made him feel relaxed.
The disdainful and contemptuous gazes of the surrounding people, he turned a blind eye. If he could not even endure these gazes, how could he talk about pursuing the demonic path?
The alliance meeting ended successfully. Guyue clan, Bai clan and Xiong clan had temporarily reached an agreement.
First, issue a decree. The three clans temporarily threw away their past grudges, and fought against the wolf tide together. In times of danger, they had to help each other. At the same time, internal killings were prohibited, and an investigation team was set up. Once discovered, the killer would be banished from the clan, and the three clans would work together to punish the killer, and the killer would have to pay with his life. If the killer escaped, his family would pay with their lives.
Even if the Gu Master died. The Gu worms retrieved from the corpses had to be handed over, and those who used them privately would be charged with murder. After the Gu worms were handed over. They could be exchanged for merit points.
Second, set up a battle merit board. With each group as a unit, it would display the battle merits of the three clans. One lightning wolf eyeball could be exchanged for ten merit points. Merit points could be exchanged for Gu worms, Yuan stone and other resources.
The appearance of the battle merit board naturally aroused the Gu Masters' unparalleled passion.
The result of a Gu battle spar could not represent the result of a real battle. Take Xiong Jiang and Bai Bing Yi for example; other than the Water Drill Gu, Bai Bing Yi naturally had other offensive methods. But Xiong Jiang's shadow bond Gu's effective range was only ten meters.
Moreover, there were many factors that could affect the outcome of any battle.
Gu battle sparring lacked a certain degree of persuasiveness, but the merit board provided a fairer stage for competition.
The Gu Masters of the three clans did their best to hunt lightning wolves, striving for a better ranking on the battle merit board.
This wasn't just about his own glory. More importantly, it concerned the reputation of the clan.
This was especially true for the top three of the War Merit List, where the competition was unprecedentedly intense. Almost every other day, there would be some changes in the rankings of the top three.
Soon, more than a month had passed.
Winter passed and spring came. All living things sprouted.
After a battle.
Fang Yuan stepped on the snow on the ground. Panting slightly, he surveyed the battlefield around him.
On the battlefield, there were more than ten lightning wolves lying on the ground, all dead. Wolf blood and dismembered corpses could be seen everywhere, and the air was filled with a thick stench of blood.
Howl …
At this time, wolf howls could be heard from not far away.
Fang Yuan's expression changed slightly. With his experience, he knew that a wolf pack was quickly approaching.
If it was any other Gu Master, after an intense battle, the primeval essence in their aperture would be insufficient, and they would have already wanted to retreat. But Fang Yuan did not care about this, and continued to squat down, collecting the eyeballs from the wolf corpses.
His movements were practiced and efficient, but even so, when he finished collecting, he was already half surrounded by the wolf pack.
This was a medium-sized wolf pack, with more than a hundred crippled wolves. Their green wolf eyes revealed a savage aura, staring at Fang Yuan without letting up.
Fang Yuan kept the wolf eyes, smiling as he stood up. Then his figure rippled like water, slowly disappearing from the spot.
The pack of wolves that were charging over immediately became restless for a while. Many crippled wolves stopped in their tracks, showing signs of hesitation and doubt.
After all, they were all wild beasts, and could not understand such a magical scene.
"But, this is also because lightning wolves mainly use their eyes to observe, and not their noses. Lightning wolves are the magical creatures of this world. Their vision is as sharp as a goshawk's, but their sense of smell is no better than a human's. My Stealth Scales Gu can counter wild beasts like lightning wolves, but it cannot hide from a dog's nose. "Fang Yuan was very clear.
He had already successfully refined the Stealth Scales Gu before the Gu Battle Gathering. It was like a carp fossil, grey and grey, lying in Fang Yuan's primeval sea, letting the primeval water flow over its lifelike scales.
And the Fish Scales Gu that Fang Yuan lacked was naturally exchanged with the Black Boar Gu and Qing Shu.
With this Stealth Scales Gu, Fang Yuan safely escaped under the wolf pack's eyes.
This kind of situation had happened many times in the past few days.
Normally, wolves or dogs would have a keen sense of smell. But lightning wolves were different. They were very fast, and without sharp vision, they would crash into trees and rocks.
But nature was fair. While giving them sharp eyes, it deprived them of their keen sense of smell.
But the thunder crown wolf was different.
With the Stealth Scales Gu, Fang Yuan could easily move through a normal wolf tide. But in front of a myriad beast king like the thunder crown wolf, he had nowhere to hide.
This was because the thunder crown wolf's eyes often had the Electric Eye Gu, and this Gu could see through invisibility.
Other than the Electric Eye Gu, there were many other Gu worms that could detect Fang Yuan's invisibility.
For example, the Snake Communication Gu, which could sense heat. The Beast Language Gu, which could allow a Gu Master to obtain information from a conversation with a wild beast. The Clairvoyance Gu, which could make a Gu Master's hearing extremely sensitive.
So. With the Stealth Scales Gu, it did not mean that Fang Yuan would be safe and sound. At most, he had a small method to protect his life.
When he returned to the village, it was still noon.
The spring sun shone brightly, and people came and went in front of the village. Different from previous years, most of the people on the road were Gu Masters, and only a few were mortals.
Under the influence of the wolf tide. The wilderness was not safe. The hunters did not dare to hunt in the mountains, and the farmlands were abandoned.
On the streets, the morale of the Gu Masters was high. One by one, they returned from the outside with blood stains, or set off in high spirits.
They were either discussing their ranking on the battle merit board, or discussing their experiences in killing lightning wolves. Or discussing the outstanding Gu Masters of other villages.
Fang Yuan mixed into the crowd and entered the village, arriving at the square in front of the clan head pavilion.
There was a platform set up in the square, and it was the place to exchange battle merits.
Large numbers of Gu Masters gathered here, and the Rank one Gu Masters recorded. A portion of the Rank two Gu Masters squeezed together, exchanging their bloodstained wolf eyes for battle merits.
There was also a portion of the Rank two Gu Masters who used their bloodstained wolf eyes to exchange for battle merits.
In the middle of the square, a huge banner was erected, and the words of this world were written on it. It was constantly changing.
This was the battle merit board, and on it were more than ten Swimword Gu.
The Rank one Swimword Gu was controlled by the Rank one logistics Gu Masters, and could be changed into words on the banner at will.
"Hmph, why is the first place still Bai clan's Bai Bing Yi group?" Someone looked at the battle merit board and frowned.
"Let me see, Bai Bing Yi is first, my clan's Qing Shu group is second, Xiong Li group is third … my group, 137th." Some Gu Masters were silently counting.
At this time, someone suddenly shouted, "It changed, it changed! Qing Shu group got first place. They pushed the Bai clan's sickly group down! "
On the battle merit board, the words that marked the second place Qing Shu group suddenly moved, climbing up. Pulling the first place Bai Bing Yi group down with one 'hand', then ascended to first place himself, and at the same time used his' foot 'to step on it.
Such a human-like action on the words was naturally done by the Gu Master controlling the Swimword Gu.
Seeing this interesting change, the Gu Masters in the square burst into laughter, and gave the Qing Shu group a thumbs up, praising them endlessly. The Rank one Gu Master controlling the Swimword Gu was even more excited, his face glowing with excitement.
"Lord Qing Shu, you are indeed the number one Gu Master among us Rank two Gu Masters!"
"Lord Qing Shu, you are really good."
Guyue Qing Shu walked in the crowd, waiting with a smile. Behind him, Guyue Fangzheng clenched his fists and followed suit, his expression showing excitement.
The surrounding praises assaulted him, filling the young man's burning heart that thirsted for glory. This made Fangzheng feel that he was walking on a bright path, and unknowingly, his recognition towards the clan deepened.
"Big brother …" He was surprised to see Fang Yuan standing silently in the crowd, watching with his arms crossed.
"Big Brother, you're still alone, all by yourself. No wonder your group was at the bottom of the battle merit board from the start. Only by opening your heart and joining the group can you feel the warmth and happiness of the clan. "Fangzheng sighed in his heart, suddenly feeling that Fang Yuan was somewhat pitiful and sad.
Like Fang Yuan, fighting alone without any companions, he could not feel the kinship of the clan, nor the friendship in the battlefield.
Facing everything alone, not only was it dangerous, it was also boring.
Living alone, if there was no friendship, love, kinship, what was the point of living?
Fang Yuan stood in the crowd, silently looking at the battle merit board that was erected high above. No doubt, the last position of the battle merit board was written "Fang Yuan group".
Other Gu Masters, seeing this, would feel ashamed. But Fang Yuan's gaze was very calm, not minding it.
After he was promoted to group leader by Guyue Bo, he had never thought of recruiting other group members. He was a lone group leader, the most special group among the three clans of Qing Mao mountain.
There was only him, of course his daily hunting results were not as much as the other groups. Of course, with Fang Yuan's current individual strength, if he really exploded out, he would definitely not be the last.
But this was meaningless to Fang Yuan.
He did not need battle merits, he had stockpiled living necessities and food for Gu worms. He had planned to use battle merits to exchange for a Fish Scale Gu, but now he did not need it.
He hunted lightning wolves every day, one was to keep up with the weather, and the other was to accumulate some battle merits to exchange for moon orchid petals.
After all, his Moonglow Gu still needed this kind of food.
Half a month passed in a flash, and the atmosphere of spring was getting stronger.
Trees were growing green, and wildflowers were blooming by the roadside.
The warm spring wind was intoxicating, and the Gu Masters were singing triumphantly in battle, the situation getting better.
Fang Yuan walked on the streets, seeing everyone's smiling faces, and hearing praises and praises of bravery.
Of course, there were some Gu Masters who were deeply worried, frowning. These Gu Masters were mostly elderly, with rich life experiences, and knew that the true wolf tide would only come in summer and autumn.
Fang Yuan's mind was clear.
"The reason for this situation is because of the alliance of the three clans, lowering their guard against each other. Thus, more Gu Masters are involved in resisting the wolf tide. The second reason is that the lightning wolves that are being exterminated are only crippled wolves. The third reason is that spring has arrived, and the lightning wolves in the wolf tide are busy mating and reproducing. When summer comes, the truly strong wolf groups will flood in from all directions. This will cause huge casualties to the three clans. "
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan's eyes flashed coldly.
This year's wolf tide would surpass history, reaching an unprecedented level. Even the clan higher-ups had greatly underestimated the severity of the wolf tide.
In his memories, most of the Gu Masters would die. The accumulated resources of the three clans would be used up.
Fang Yuan had never thought of reminding the clan higher-ups. Firstly, even if he did, the clan might not take his suggestion seriously. Taking it seriously would be more troublesome, and he would not be able to explain the source of this information. Secondly, there was no point in reminding them, this was the difference in strength. Thirdly, and most importantly, reminding the clan was not in his best interest!
I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me!!
What kinship, friendship, love, they were just embellishments in life, how could they compare to a man's ambitions?
On Earth, Xiang Yu wanted to cook Liu Bang's father. Han Taizu Liu Bang laughed and said, "Cook it, don't forget to give me a piece of meat."
Tang Taizong Li Shimin killed his brother at Xuanwu Sect, and Cao Cao's army ran out of rations, so he killed and cooked human jerky as rations. Liu Bei borrowed Jing Zhou, but never returned it.
The values and morals that the higher-ups promoted were just tools to maintain their rule.
If they were really bound by these, how could they achieve anything great?
For those who stepped into a truly high position, whose hands were not stained with blood, stepping on corpses? The primitive accumulation of capital by capitalists was always bloody. Any politician was dirty. The so-called philanthropists used money to exchange for social fame.
But the successful ones mostly covered up their unbearable past. Those who were deceived by the autobiographies of the successful ones were fools.
"These fools are everywhere, they are bound by their emotions and morals, they deserve to be ruled, fooled and manipulated. What's even more tragic is that when they see others not bound, they would jump out and criticize them, trying to instill such values into the free people, not wanting to see others having more freedom than them. And in the process, I even enjoyed an inexplicable sense of moral superiority and happiness. "
Fang Yuan thought of this as he looked at the Gu Masters walking beside him.
These people only had a body full of ability, and some of them even had a higher cultivation than him. But what use was that?
They were just pawns, slave dogs that were bound.
Actually, what truly restricted a person's achievements was not their talent, but their thoughts.
In any organization, from birth, a person would be instilled with values and brainwashed. If you want to achieve something extraordinary, you have to break out of the collar of your mind. Unfortunately, most people were tightly bound by the chains, forced to move forward, and even treated the chains as a symbol of glory.
Fang Yuan thought to himself, and could not help but laugh coldly.
After exiting the gates of the stronghold, he collected his scattered thoughts.
There was an important matter today, he was preparing to enter the rock crack secret cave again!
