By the time Fang Yuan woke up, it was already noon of the next day.
His head no longer hurt, the pain had disappeared.
He subconsciously touched his ear, and the feeling was the same as before. It was as if the ear cutting incident last night had never happened.
He got up from the bed. The first thing he did was to find a mirror and look at himself.
In the mirror, a young man's face was revealed. He wasn't handsome, but his pair of pitch black and deep eyes made him seem extraordinary, revealing a trace of an unusual cold charm.
The young man's ears were the same size, no difference.
When he planted the Earth Communication Ear Grass last night, Fang Yuan's right ear was fat and big, the earlobe almost reaching his chin. But now it had become normal, and from the outside, there was no difference at all.
This was because his body and the Earth Communication Ear Grass had gotten used to each other.
Fang Yuan's heart moved, and from his aperture, he transferred a small amount of red steel primeval essence. The primeval essence flowed along his body, all the way up to his right ear.
Immediately, his hearing increased by several times, and the footsteps of countless people entered his ears.
Although he was on the second floor, he had the illusion that he was stepping on the ground.
Fang Yuan listened attentively, his primeval essence continued to move, and his hearing also increased. In the mirror, roots were slowly growing out of his right ear.
These roots were like the roots of a thousand year old ginseng, spreading out from the ear, sparse and growing, drooping towards the ground.
At the same time, his right ear also showed signs of growing bigger and fatter.
Fang Yuan tried to stop activating the Earth Communication Ear Grass, and after a second. The roots that grew out from the ear all retracted back, and his right ear also returned to its normal shape.
Of course, his hearing also returned to its original state.
"This way, I have an investigative Gu." Fang Yuan put on his clothes, and took out a water basin from under the bed.
The dark red blood water from last night, because of the coal that was thrown in, had already turned into a pool of black dirty water. The blood towel that was soaked in it was the same. The original blood red and white color had been covered by the black grey color. It was easy for people to associate it with the greasy rag in the kitchen.
This basin of water was carried out. Even if he poured it out in front of other people, he wouldn't give himself away.
Summer was coming, and many of the clansmen had to clean and clean the furnaces that had been used for the entire winter. It would often produce such a basin of dirty water.
Striking while the iron was hot, Fang Yuan entered the secret cave again.
This time, he did not come empty-handed. Instead, he caught a young deer in the wild, tied its four hooves with hemp rope, covered its mouth with a metal cover, and used the Stealth Scales Gu to conceal his body, bringing it to the stone door.
He was not in a hurry to push the door open. Instead, he activated the Earth Communication Ear Grass.
The ginseng roots extended from the sides of his ears, and his hearing was instantly amplified several times.
Dong dong dong …
First, he heard a faint sound. A slow heartbeat.
As the roots grew longer and longer, the heartbeat grew louder and louder. At the same time, the source of the heartbeat also increased.
Fang Yuan didn't need to think to know that these heartbeats were coming from the Jade-Eyed Stone Monkeys in the stone forest behind him.
He closed his eyes and could imagine it in his mind. These strange sounds were like snails living in their own caves, curling up their bodies and sleeping.
But these weren't what he wanted to sense.
He continued to listen. His right ear had become a little fat, and the roots on his ears were half a meter long. The roots were spiritual. They extended to the stone door, digging in to a very shallow depth.
At this moment, Fang Yuan felt that his hearing had received a huge boost.
With him as the center, he could sense the countless sounds within a radius of three hundred steps!
This was the true use of the Earth Communication Ear Grass. Previously in the village, he had only dabbled in it.
If the Earth Communication Ear Grass's roots did not touch the ground, its detection range could only be considered average among Rank two Gu worms. But once the roots were rooted in the ground, its detection range would receive a qualitative increase.
This was easy to understand.
Using the theory on earth, the speed of sound transmission was related to the medium. The speed of sound transmission on the ground and in water was much faster than in the air.
In ancient China, some soldiers would sleep with a wooden quiver as their pillow. Once there was a cavalry attack, the soldiers would be woken up by the sound transmitted through the ground. If the sound was transmitted through the air, they would not be able to react in time.
The roots were rooted in the stone door, and Fang Yuan immediately felt the movement behind the stone door.
It was a series of sparse sounds that were very subtle and dense. Compared to this sound, the stone monkey's heartbeat was like the beating of a drum.
If it was a newbie using the Earth Communication Ear Grass for the first time, they would have to think hard to guess what it was. But this sound was within Fang Yuan's expectations. But after listening for a while, his brows gradually furrowed.
He pushed the stone door open.
The stone door was heavy, but he had the strength of two boars now, so it didn't take much effort.
The stone door opened, and in front of him was a dark and serene tunnel. It stretched out horizontally, leading to the unknown and mysterious.
Fang Yuan untied the deer he caught and threw it into the tunnel ahead.
The deer was very intelligent, and it could sense the danger in the darkness ahead, not daring to move forward. Its big eyes looked at Fang Yuan, revealing a look of fear and pleading.
Fang Yuan snorted coldly, and swung his hand with a moonblade.
The moonblade was controlled by Fang Yuan to not be too powerful, and it slashed diagonally, leaving a shallow wound on the deer's body.
Blood gushed out, and under the pain, the deer's fear of Fang Yuan took over, and it frantically ran forward in the darkness.
The darkness quickly swallowed it.
Fang Yuan urged the Earth Communication Ear Grass again, and this time, the roots were rooted in the wall beside him.
With his hearing improved, the first thing Fang Yuan heard was the deer's hurried footsteps, its heartbeat, and then a sudden wave of sparse sounds.
In the Golden Centipede Cave, one could use the Earth Communication Ear Grass to avoid disaster …
Fang Yuan knew that these sparse sounds were the sound of centipedes crawling.
Suddenly, he heard the deer's frightened cry.
Obviously, it had barged into the worm's nest and encountered centipedes.
Fang Yuan immediately imagined a scene in his mind: the deer was panicking, and the centipedes swarmed it like a tide, surrounding it. The deer spun around in fear, stomping its young hooves, and whining as it felt the aura of death.
The countless centipedes climbed onto its body. The deer fell to the ground, rolling around and struggling violently.
But after a short while, its heart stopped beating.
The centipedes covered its body, and started to devour the deer's flesh.
Fang Yuan's gaze suddenly focused, and he suddenly heard a special sound.
The buzzing sound was like a buzzing chainsaw. It was filled with an insolent, rude, and barbaric aura.
If it were a newbie, they would be very confused. But with Fang Yuan's rich experience, he immediately guessed the identity of the voice's source.
A Rank three wild Gu worm — Chainsaw Golden Centipede!
This was the king of the centipedes, the true killer of the Golden Centipede Cave.
Fang Yuan could totally imagine it: A meter long, two fists wide golden centipede, suddenly turning from stillness and crawling.
On both sides of the centipede's body, there was a row of sharp, silver serrated teeth. As it crawled, these serrated teeth also moved rapidly, like a chainsaw.
The Chainsaw Golden Centipede's arrival immediately caused the centipede group to go silent.
It came in a fierce manner, and everywhere it went, the centipede group would scatter, revealing the deer's body that still had more than half left.
It climbed onto the deer's body, and opened its mouth, absorbing the deer's blood and devouring the deer's meat. When it encountered the deer's skeleton, it rolled up its body, and used the serrated teeth to lightly twist, easily grinding the bones into powder.
"Even the White Jade Gu's defense cannot withstand the Chainsaw Golden Centipede's sawing. It seems that the Flower Wine Monk wants me to use this Earth Communication Ear Grass to avoid this Chainsaw Golden Centipede. But I have the Spring Autumn Cicada, it is not impossible to subdue this Chainsaw Golden Centipede! "A thought appeared in Fang Yuan's mind.
He was excited at the sight of the prey.
The Chainsaw Golden Centipede was an excellent Gu worm, and if he could use it, it would definitely be a powerful method.
But to subdue this Chainsaw Golden Centipede underground, even a Rank four Gu Master would have to spend a lot of effort.
Capturing and killing were two completely different things, the former's difficulty was much higher than the latter.
Wild Gu worms were mostly cunning, and if the Chainsaw Golden Centipede saw something amiss, it would burrow into the ground and escape. If a Gu Master did not have the ability to burrow into the ground, how could he pursue it?
But Fang Yuan had the Spring Autumn Cicada, as long as he caught this Chainsaw Golden Centipede and leaked a trace of its aura, it would definitely make this worm cower, not daring to move.
The Spring Autumn Cicada was Rank six, and its aura had a strong deterrent effect on Rank one to Rank four Gu worms. But against Rank five Gu worms, the effect was not great. As for other Rank six Gu of the same rank, there was no deterrent effect at all.
This phenomenon was very interesting. Actually, thinking about it, human society was the same.
Facing outstanding people, people would often admire, admire and worship them. But towards people who were only slightly better than themselves, they would dare to offend them, thus it was usually competition and jealousy.
"But I am only at Rank two middle stage, it is not impossible to subdue a Rank three Chainsaw Golden Centipede now, but the timing is a bit too early." Fang Yuan muttered.
A Rank two Gu Master was of course most suitable and handy to use Rank two Gu worms. Of course, Rank two Gu Masters could also have Rank three or even Rank four Gu worms.
But this was not a common phenomenon.
Firstly, the higher the rank of the Gu worm, the higher the cost of feeding it. Secondly, the higher the rank, the more inconvenient it was to use the Gu worm, and a certain price had to be paid. It was like a baby waving a large hammer, if it tried to forcefully swing it, it was very likely that the weight of the hammer would pull its muscles and smash its own feet.
"The fawn has already alarmed the entire worm swarm, I'm afraid it will take at least ten days to half a month for this swarm to truly calm down. Now that I have probed it, I have already verified my guess, but it is not a good time to continue exploring. Why don't I put it aside for now, and take it easy, this matter cannot be rushed. "
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan closed the stone door again, and used the Stealth Scales Gu to retreat.
