The stone forest was still filled with a dark red light. Stone pillars hung down from the top of the cave, like giant trees that reached the sky, it was a magnificent sight.
"It has been over a month since I last came here." "…" Fang Yuan thought, feeling helpless.
Ever since the three clans formed an alliance, they had been sweeping away the surrounding wolf groups, causing Gu Masters to appear near the rock crack and secret cave. Under such circumstances, even if Fang Yuan had the Stealth Scales Gu to conceal himself, he would still be in danger of being exposed.
Fang Yuan did things cautiously, and his five hundred years of life had nurtured him enough patience. During this period of time, he had been restraining his desires and did not come here.
Only until winter passed and spring arrived, when the remaining wolves were wiped out and there were fewer Gu Masters coming in and out, did Fang Yuan take a big detour in the outer sect and use the Stealth Scales Gu to conceal himself all the way here.
Over a month had passed, and on the previously cleared path, there were more stone monkey groups migrating over.
But fortunately, the number of monkey groups was small.
Fang Yuan spent some effort, killing the monkey groups and advancing, finally reaching the center of the stone forest.
Under the shadow of the huge stone pillars, an obviously man-made cave appeared in front of him.
In the cave, rough stone steps led to the dark underground.
Fang Yuan activated the White Jade Gu, and his body was covered in a layer of faint jade light as he carefully walked down the steps.
His left hand held a torch, and his right hand was shining with moonlight — the Moonglow Gu was ready to go.
The surroundings were dark, and even with the torch, it could only light up a distance of five steps.
In this situation, it would be much better if there was a Gu worm to illuminate the surroundings. Unfortunately, Fang Yuan did not have such a rich family background.
One step at a time. After walking for a while, he finally reached the end of the stone steps.
A crudely made stone door appeared in front of Fang Yuan.
"Golden Centipede Cave is a fatal disaster, use Earth Listening to avoid it." Fang Yuan raised the torch and found some words carved on the stone door.
Earth Listening …
Golden Centipede …
Fang Yuan squinted his eyes, his eyes shining brightly as he seemed to have understood something.
"If I am not wrong …" He squatted down and touched the ground with his hand. Soon, he touched the moist ground in front of the stone door.
"Got it." His heart was filled with joy. He used his hands to dig up the soil, and sure enough, he found a Sepulture Flower.
His heart gently pushed aside the petals. He took out a Gu worm from the heart of the flower.
This Gu was quite special.
It looked like a human ear, just a little smaller, and its entire body was an earthy yellow color. Dry and dull.
Pinching it in his hand, it felt a little shriveled, like a pickled radish with a little warmth.
Around the ears, roots extended outwards. There were dozens of these slender roots, and they looked like the roots of ginseng.
This was a Rank two grass Gu, people called it — Earth Communication Ear Grass.
Looking at the Earth Communication Ear Grass in his hand, Fang Yuan's eyes flashed a few times.
This Earth Communication Ear Grass came in time and could be used for scouting. It was perfect for him.
The Earth Communication Ear Grass had a huge advantage, and that was its detection range of three hundred steps. This range was quite outstanding among Rank two investigative Gu worms.
Moreover, the Earth Communication Ear Grass was easy to feed.
Its food source was the ginseng's roots.
This world's Southern Border was filled with deep mountains and forests. Ginseng was much more abundant than on Earth. Hunters would go hunting in the mountains and pick some from time to time.
Especially ginseng, it was easy to store. As long as it was dry and sealed, it could be stored for a long time at room temperature.
Moon orchids' petals would wither in a few days, but ginseng roots could be stored for a long time.
"Gu worms are raised, used, and refined. These three aspects are broad and profound, with extraordinary profundities. Although the Earth Communication Ear Grass is easy to raise, it is quite troublesome to use. "Fang Yuan thought to himself. He pinched the Earth Communication Ear Grass in his hand and secretly activated his True Essence. In an instant, he had refined it.
The Earth Communication Ear Grass was very outstanding, and its detection range was comparable to many Rank three Gu worms. But the heavens were fair. To use the Earth Communication Ear Grass, refining it was not enough, there was a price to be paid.
Like the Zombie Gu and Wood Charm Gu, they had to be used together with other Gu worms. Otherwise, if they were used for a long time, the Gu Master's body would be corroded and turn into a real zombie or Tree Man.
"Many Gu worms cannot be used just by refining them, as they require some special conditions. This Earth Communication Ear Grass is one of them. If I had this Gu, I would be able to scout out the situation and be able to move freely in the wolf tide. I could even make use of this wolf tide to achieve some goals … "
Fang Yuan pondered for a while, and decided to use this Earth Communication Ear Grass.
The gains were greater than the losses, so even if he had to pay the price, it was nothing for the future.
"No matter which world, without effort, how can there be gains?" Fang Yuan laughed coldly in his heart, and kept the Earth Communication Ear Grass in his aperture.
He looked deeply at the stone door, and turned to leave.
If he was not wrong, there was a danger on the other side of the stone door. He needed to use the Earth Communication Ear Grass to avoid it.
Fang Yuan left the secret cave, but did not return to the village. Instead, he walked a few rounds outside, and after killing a few lone wolves and obtaining a few pairs of wolf eyeballs, he returned.
He was still last on the battle merit board. Walking on the street, some Gu Masters who recognized him looked at him with mocking and disdainful gazes.
Fang Yuan did not care, and continued to do as he pleased.
In the following days, he used his meager battle merit points to exchange for ginseng roots, and fed the Earth Communication Ear Grass, allowing it to recover to a state of full vitality.
Most of the clan's attention was drawn by the wolf tide, and no one paid attention to Fang Yuan. If it was before, perhaps his uncle and aunt would still pester him, but ever since Fang Yuan sold the family assets, there was no more movement from them.
It was hard to do things openly, but easy to do things secretly.
Soon, Fang Yuan quietly and smoothly completed some preparations.
This night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
The moon was like a jade plate hanging high in the sky, and the gentle night curtain was like a veil, covering Qing Mao mountain.
From time to time, a wolf's howl could be heard from afar.
Fang Yuan shut the doors and windows tightly, and stood naked on the floor of the rented house. On the small table in front of him. There was a basin filled with warm water, and next to the basin was a white cloth, and on the white cloth was a sharp dagger.
Even the floor he was standing on was covered with a thick layer of cloth.
Strands of moonlight passed through the cracks of the window, shining on the table.
Fang Yuan's expression was indifferent, and he grabbed the dagger. On the shiny blade. It emitted a cold light, and could be used as a mirror.
Under the dim light, the young man's eyebrows were reflected on the dagger. It emitted a kind of coldness.
At this moment, Fang Yuan could not help but think of a martial arts manual on Earth, < Sunflower Treasured Manual >.
The first sentence on the first page of < Sunflower Treasured Manual > was: "To train in this technique. Castrate yourself. "
To obtain strength quickly, there must be sacrifice and sacrifice!
So what if you castrate yourself?
Without this kind of cruel decisiveness and sacrifice, how can you achieve your ambitions, and realize your ambitions?
Wanting to get something without sacrifice, that is a fairy tale to deceive children.
In Fang Yuan's current situation, to be able to use this Earth Communication Ear Grass, what's the price to pay!?
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan laughed coldly.
He used the pad of his finger to gently stroke the cold blade. Softly chanting — —
The moon was like frost in the night, the blade was especially cold.
Without killing in the harsh winter, how can spring be seen!
As soon as he finished speaking, he struck like lightning.
His hand rose and the blade fell, blood splattered.
A piece of meat fell on the table — —
Fang Yuan's entire right ear was cut off. Blood spurted out.
At that moment, he first felt his ear go cold, and then an intense pain assaulted him.
He gritted his teeth, and took a deep breath. Resisting the pain, he summoned the Earth Communication Ear Grass from his aperture.
This Earth Communication Ear Grass had been raised by him to be full of life. It was already different from when he just took it out.
When he first took it out from the Earth Treasury Flower, it was dull and shriveled, but now it was warm and meaty, fat and big, as big as an adult's palm.
Touching it in his hand, it was full of elasticity, like the ear of a Buddha statue on earth.
Fang Yuan pressed the Earth Communication Ear Grass to the wound on the side of his head, and a wave of red steel primeval essence poured into it.
The roots of the Earth Communication Ear Grass immediately received a burst of energy, and started to grow at a visible speed, taking root at Fang Yuan's wound.
This was another wave of pain!
Fang Yuan felt as if there were tens of earthworms drilling into his brain from the wound.
This feeling was not only painful, but also disgusting.
Normally, during this process, Gu Masters would use other Gu worms to numb their nerves. But Fang Yuan did not have such conditions, and could only rely on his steel-like willpower to forcibly endure it.
After all, it was a young man's body, and Fang Yuan's body could not help but sway as he endured such intense pain.
More and more roots extended into the wound. Slowly, the Earth Communication Ear Grass and the bloody wound fused together, becoming Fang Yuan's new right ear.
In the end, the wound no longer bled, and there was not even a scar.
But Fang Yuan's face was pale, and the pain only decreased slightly, but it still tormented him.
Veins popped out on his forehead, and his heart beat rapidly.
At this point, he was already halfway to success, but Fang Yuan's body still needed time to adapt to the Earth Communication Ear Grass.
He first took out a mirror, and looked at himself in the faint moonlight.
In the mirror, his face was pale, and his brows were slightly furrowed. The left ear was small, while the right ear was more than twice the size, and was somewhat deformed.
Fang Yuan was not surprised, and after looking at it for a while, he felt satisfied that there were no problems.
He put down the mirror, and took out a cloth, dipping it in the warm water in the basin, and started to wipe the bloodstains on his body.
He was not wearing any clothes, so it was very easy to clean up the bloodstains. Some of the bloodstains flowed to his feet, but were absorbed by the cotton cloth that was laid on the floor beforehand.
Fang Yuan cleaned up the bloodstains, and finally picked up his original right ear from the table.
He snorted coldly, and activated the Moonglow Gu in his palm. Then, he minced his right ear into minced meat to destroy the evidence.
The remaining basin of blood was carried by Fang Yuan to the bottom of the bed, and a piece of coal was thrown in.
After doing all this, Fang Yuan lay down on the bed.
The pain had already decreased by more than half, but it still tormented him.
Fang Yuan felt waves of pain in his head, and along with his heartbeat, it was throbbing.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally fell into a deep sleep.
