The Liquor worm's body was like a silkworm, its whole body exuding a pearl-like white light. It was a little chubby and looked very cute.
It fed on wine and could fly in the air. When flying, it would curl its body into a ball, and its speed was very fast.
Although it was a Rank one Gu, its value was more precious than some Rank two Gu worms.
If it was used as a vital Gu, it would be much better than the Moonlight Gu.
At this moment, such a Liquor worm was attached to a green spear bamboo that was only fifty or sixty steps away from Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan held his breath. He did not approach rashly, but slowly retreated.
He knew that although this distance was very close, to capture the Liquor worm directly was extremely difficult for a newly enlightened Gu Master like himself. In other words, there was no hope of success at all.
With Fang Yuan's current eyesight, although he could not clearly see the Liquor worm's appearance, he could vaguely feel the Liquor worm's vigilance towards him.
Fang Yuan retreated very slowly and gently, trying not to disturb the Liquor worm.
He knew that if the Liquor worm wanted to fly away, he would not be able to catch up with it at his speed. He had to wait until it was drunk and its flying speed slowed down to have a chance to capture it.
Seeing Fang Yuan retreating further and further, the Liquor worm lying on the bamboo pole could not help but become restless.
The strong wine aroma in front of it tempted it, attracted it, and captivated it. If it had saliva, it would have already dripped a large pool of saliva.
But the Liquor worm's vigilance was still very high. Fang Yuan had retreated two hundred steps before it bounced and jumped into the air.
As it floated in the air, its body curled into a ball, like a small white glutinous ball.
The glutinous ball drew a round arc in the air and landed on the grass where Fang Yuan had dripped the green bamboo wine.
With the delicious food in front of it, the Liquor worm let down its guard. It anxiously crawled to the flower bud that contained the wine and poked its head in, leaving only its chubby tail outside.
It was very hungry, and the green bamboo wine was so delicious. It took a big gulp and was soon immersed in the delicious food, forgetting Fang Yuan at the back of its mind.
At this time, Fang Yuan began to carefully and quietly approach.
He saw the tail of the liquor worm outside the flower bud. The tail was like the tail of a silkworm. It was chubby and round, and the halo it emitted reminded people of pearls.
At first, its tail hung outside, motionless.
After a while, the tail began to curl up and down. It was obvious that the Liquor Worm was very happy to drink.
In the end, when Fang Yuan was only ten steps away from it, its tail began to sway left and right with a cheerful rhythm.
He was completely drunk!
Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan almost laughed out loud.
He did not move forward, but waited patiently. If he were to pounce on it now, there was a high chance that he would be able to capture the Liquor worm. However, Fang Yuan still wanted the Liquor worm to lead the way and lead him to the Flower Wine Monk's corpse.
After a while, the Liquor worm withdrew from the flower bud. Its body had grown fatter, and its head was swaying back and forth like a drunkard. It was completely unaware of Fang Yuan's presence.
It climbed to another bright yellow wildflower, perched in the pistils, and feasted on the nectar.
After drinking this time, it finally felt full. Its body slowly shrank into a ball on the flower petals, and then slowly flew up until it was about one and a half meters above the ground. Only then did it leisurely fly into the depths of the bamboo forest.
Fang Yuan hurriedly followed.
The Liquor worm was already drunk, and its flying speed was reduced to half of its usual speed. But even so, Fang Yuan still had to run with all his might to keep up with its figure.
The night was like a wash. The youth quickly shuttled through the bamboo forest, chasing after a bead of snow not far ahead.
The moonlight was gentle, and the cool breeze was gentle. The bamboo forest was as clear as a pool of water. Green spear bamboos quickly flashed in front of Fang Yuan's eyes, and then fell behind the youth.
On the ground, there was lush green grass, dotted with wildflowers.
There were also small stones with moss growing on them, and tender yellow bamboo shoots that had yet to mature.
Fang Yuan's faint shadow also quickly traversed the ground, passing through the black lines that the Green Spear bamboos had left on the ground.
He closely stared at the snow shadow, and in the faint fragrance of the wine, he breathed in the fresh air of the mountain forest, and moved his legs to follow closely behind.
Because of the rapid movement, the moonlight in his eyes was like water. Light and shadow moved frequently, as if he was running on water overgrown with aquatic plants.
The Liquor worm flew out of the bamboo forest, and Fang Yuan also rushed out. A large field of white flowers with a yellowish center scattered petals by his legs with the help of the strong wind.
A group of Dragonpill crickets, like a flowing poem, coincidentally flowed to the front. Fang Yuan rushed straight past them. Suddenly, with a splash, a red cloud bloomed in front of him, and a field of Red Star Fireflies was dispersed.
A quietly flowing mountain stream, paved with pebbles, gurgling, and reflecting the spring moon in the night sky. With a few popping sounds, Fang Yuan waded through the water and crushed it into thousands of silver ripples.
Unfortunately, a stream of Moon Breeze had crushed Qiong Yao.
Fang Yuan chased relentlessly, following closely behind the Liquor worm.
Going up the mountain stream, he could already faintly hear the sound of a waterfall. After turning around a sparse forest, he saw the Liquor worm fly into a narrow crack of a boulder.
Fang Yuan's eyes suddenly brightened, and he stopped.
"So it's here." He panted heavily, his heart pounding. When he stopped, he immediately felt sweat all over his body. A wave of hot air, along with the accelerated flow of his blood, surged through his body.
Looking around, he found that this was a shallow river bank.
Pebbles of all sizes covered the ground, and the river water was only about a finger's height above the pebbles. There were also pieces of grey-white boulders scattered randomly here.
At the back of Qing Mao Mountain was a large waterfall.
The flow of the waterfall changed according to the weather. It plunged thousands of feet, crashing into a deep pool. Beside the deep pool was the Bai family's stronghold. It was powerful, and not weaker than the Guyue's stronghold.
The waterfall also had branches. Obviously, what Fang Yuan was facing was a branch within a branch.
This river bank was usually dry. But there was a recent heavy rain, which lasted for three days and three nights, causing a shallow stream of water to accumulate here.
The source of the water was the boulder that the Liquor worm had drilled into.
The boulder was leaning against the vertical mountain wall. A slender miniature waterfall branched out from the large waterfall, like a silver python hanging down the mountain wall, hitting the boulder. After a long time, it washed out the center of the boulder, creating a crack.
At this time, the waterfall was washing down, and the water was slightly roaring. Like a white curtain, it completely blocked the gap between the boulder.
Taking advantage of the time of observation, Fang Yuan's breath was no longer so rushed. His eyes flashed with a determined light. He walked to the boulder, took a deep breath, and rushed in.
The gap between the boulder was quite large, and two adults walking side by side would have no problem. Moreover, Fang Yuan's body was only that of a fifteen-year-old youth.
As soon as he rushed in, the rapid flow of water pressed down on Fang Yuan's body. At the same time, the ice-cold water soaked Fang Yuan's body from top to bottom.
Fang Yuan shouldered the water pressure, and quickly moved forward. After a few dozen steps, the water pressure gradually decreased.
But the gap was also shrinking, and Fang Yuan had to walk sideways.
The roaring sound of water was in his ears, and the top of his head was bright white. Deep inside the boulder was a mass of darkness.
What was hidden in the darkness?
Perhaps it was a sinister poisonous snake, perhaps it was a highly poisonous gecko, perhaps it was a trap set by the Flower Wine Monk, or perhaps it was nothing.
Fang Yuan turned sideways, and slowly squeezed into the darkness.
The water above his head was already gone. The stone wall was covered with moss, and when it rubbed against Fang Yuan's body, it was extremely slippery.
Fang Yuan was completely swallowed by the darkness, and the gap between the boulder became narrower and narrower. Gradually, his head was unable to move freely.
Fang Yuan gritted his teeth, and continued to move forward.
After walking for more than twenty steps, he noticed that there seemed to be a red shadow in the darkness.
At first he thought it was an illusion, but after blinking and looking again, he confirmed that it was indeed light!
This discovery made him excited.
After another 50 or 60 steps, the red light became brighter, and in Fang Yuan's retina, it gradually expanded into a long vertical slit.
He stretched out his left arm, and suddenly felt the stone wall in front of him bend.
Fang Yuan was instantly overjoyed, he knew that there was a space inside the boulder. He quickly walked a few steps, and finally squeezed into the light slit.
His eyes suddenly widened, and a space of about 80 square meters, appeared in front of Fang Yuan.
"I've walked such a long distance, I've already passed the boulder, I should be in the mountain wall now." He moved his arms and legs, and stretched his limbs, while sizing up this hidden space.
The entire space was filled with a dim red light, and he did not know where the source of the light came from.
The surrounding stone walls were very damp, and covered with moss, but the air here was very dry.
On this stone wall, there were already withered vines attached to it. The vines intertwined with each other, weaving most of the stone walls in all directions. There were also some withered flower roots growing on it.
Fang Yuan looked at these withered flowers and leaves, feeling that they were somewhat familiar.
"It's the Wine Sack Flower Gu and the Rice Bag Grass Gu." Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, recognizing these withered flower stems and vines.
There were many forms of Gu. Some looked like ores, such as the blue crystal Moonlight Gu. Some looked like bugs, such as the silkworm-like Liquor worm. And then there were the forms of flowers and plants, such as the Wine Sack Flower Gu and the Rice Bag Grass Gu in front of Fang Yuan.
These two Gu were both Rank one natural Gu. As long as primeval essence was injected, they could grow. After growing, the flower core would secrete nectar wine, and the grass bag would grow fragrant rice.
Fang Yuan followed the roots of the vines, and moved his gaze. Sure enough, in the corner of the wall, the withered roots were bunched up, bulging together.
The Liquor worm was resting on top of this bundle of dead roots, snoring away. It was already within his reach.
Fang Yuan walked over, and first kept the Liquor worm in his arms. Then he squatted down, and pushed aside the dead roots and withered vines, and found a white skeleton wrapped inside.
"I've finally found you, Flower Wine Monk." Seeing this, his lips curled into a smile.
Just as he was about to reach out and peel off the withered vines, at this moment!
"Why don't you try moving?" A voice filled with murderous intent suddenly sounded from behind Fang Yuan.
