Sixth segment: Night Resting in the Treetops
Swish swish swish …
The river tides came and went, the sky was dark.
Under the dusk, the beach was dyed red by crocodile blood, and hundreds of six legged crocodile corpses surrounded the two youngsters.
Beside a huge crocodile corpse, Fang Yuan slowly stood up.
When the six legged crocodile group attacked, Fang Yuan did not even think of escaping. Although he only had Rank one initial stage cultivation, Bai Ning Bing was Rank three peak stage!
Using her cultivation and his Rank three Gu worm, it was possible to eliminate a hundred beast group.
On one hand, he needed to use the six legged crocodile group as an external force to suppress Bai Ning Bing and train her. On the other hand, he needed a suitable Gu worm for himself.
"Although I am Rank one initial stage, I have A grade aptitude, and with the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus. My primeval essence recovery is extremely fast, thus I can use Rank two Gu worms. But be it the Crocodile Strength Gu or the Carapace Gu, they are not ideal. "Fang Yuan sighed in his heart.
The Sky Canopy Gu was Rank three, and was lent to Bai Ning Bing. Fang Yuan indeed needed a suitable defensive Gu for himself. But the Carapace Gu could only defend the back, it was too small.
The Crocodile Strength Gu was precious, but currently, Fang Yuan had the strength of two boars, and was strong enough. If he increased his strength, it would harm his body.
Below Rank six, a Gu Master's body was a mortal body, it had a limit, and could not keep increasing his strength.
Fang Yuan had already used the Black and White Boar Gu to modify his body, raising his strength from the roots. If he used the Crocodile Strength Gu now, it would exceed his body's endurance, and would harm himself.
That is to say, unless he found other supplementary Gu worms and used it with the Crocodile Strength Gu. Before that, using the Crocodile Strength Gu would be suicidal.
"In Bai Gu mountain's inheritance, there is a Jade Bone Gu that can increase the strength of a Gu Master's bones. If I use this Gu and use the Crocodile Strength Gu, there will be no problem. But right now, there is still a distance to Bai Gu mountain, it will take at least ten days to half a month. "
Fang Yuan looked towards the southeast direction, and with a thought, he summoned the Crocodile Strength Gu.
He gave the Crocodile Strength Gu to Bai Ning Bing, and recalled his Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus.
"Using this crocodile strength Gu can increase your strength by one crocodile strength. The process is a little tiring, but it should be done after a month of continuous urging, "Fang Yuan warned.
Bai Ning Bing nodded, feeling happy in her heart.
With crocodile strength Gu, she could make up for her weakness in strength. Previously in Bai clan village, she had also searched for it, but her luck was not good and she did not find such a Gu. To think that he would actually obtain the Gu worm that he had yearned for day and night in the wilderness.
When a Gu Master roams in the wilderness, danger lurks everywhere, but at the same time, it is filled with opportunities.
"Let's go. The smell of blood is too strong here, and the cliffs on three sides have almost collapsed. It will definitely attract some ferocious beasts. It's definitely not safe to camp here. "
Fang Yuan's suggestion received Bai Ning Bing's approval.
However, before leaving, Fang Yuan gathered as much crocodile blood and crocodile meat as he could and stored them in the Tusita Flower.
Crocodile Strength Gu feeds on crocodile meat. Fresh crocodile blood could be used to feed Blood Skull Gu and Blood Moon Gu.
The sun had already set and night had begun to fall.
In the distant sky, stars could be vaguely seen.
The cliffs had collapsed from the impact of the male crocodile king, making it easy to climb. After Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing climbed up the cliffs, a lush and dense forest appeared in front of them.
The dense forest stretched out, the distant mountains were indistinct, and the depths of the forest were shrouded in darkness. No one knew what dangers or ferocious beasts were living here.
Chirp chirp chirp …
A strange cry, unknown whether it was the cry of a bird or an ape, entered the two's ears.
The two looked at each other, knowing that the dense forest in the wilderness was filled with danger. Especially at night, there was not enough light. Entering the forest at this time was even more dangerous than during the day.
But they had no other choice.
"Let's go." Fang Yuan signaled Bai Ning Bing.
Bai Ning Bing gritted her teeth, and could only drag her extremely tired body and walk in front, opening the path for Fang Yuan.
These trees were at least four meters tall. Near the river, it was filled with moisture, and the ground was softer than the mountain soil.
The warm and humid weather caused the moss to flourish, covering the ground, rocks, and attached to the tree trunks.
The deeper they went, the darker the light became, and the colder it became.
Fang Yuan was still fine, but Bai Ning Bing could not help but shiver. She had just fought an intense battle, and her entire body was drenched in sweat. Now that the coldness invaded her body, she naturally felt even colder.
"I say, set up the stove later, let's warm ourselves up." Bai Ning Bing said as she explored the path in front.
Her voice floated in the dense forest, making the dense forest even more quiet.
"Warm ourselves up? Hehe. "Fang Yuan laughed," Don't you think this dense forest is too quiet? Let's stop and take a good look at the trees in front. "
Bai Ning Bing's footsteps slowed down, and she looked ahead.
The trees in front were short and strong, their roots were coiled like snakes, extending into a stretch. At the end of every branch, there were vines, like green pythons, either coiling around each other or hanging on the ground.
The ends of the vines were like Venus flytraps, or like two open shells of clams, waiting for the arrival of their prey.
"Beast-Trap tree!" Bai Ning Bing thought of what the academy taught and recognized this tree.
This tree ate meat as food, and every branch softened into a vine with only two leaves. The leaves were wide and large, and when they opened, they looked like a giant mouth. Once a prey approached, the vines would pounce like a snake, and the leaves would snap shut, swallowing the prey in one mouthful. Then it would secrete acid, and spend tens of days, or even months, slowly absorbing the prey.
Bai Ning Bing counted, there were at least thirty to forty beast-trap trees in front of her. The distance between each tree was long, and between them were ordinary trees.
"This is a beast-trap forest, no wonder it is so quiet and lacking in life. But it doesn't matter, I can use the strength of a Rank three Gu to forcefully open a path. "Bai Ning Bing said.
Fang Yuan shook his head, "What we want now is a safe campsite. I think this beast-trap forest is very good. After we pass through this forest, we might not be able to find a safer place to spend the night in the dense forest. "
Bai Ning Bing heard this, and her eyes widened, "Here? Beast-Trap forest, it's still safe? "
Fang Yuan glanced at her, but did not explain. Instead, he turned around and went back the way they came.
Bai Ning Bing gritted her teeth, the Yang Gu was with Fang Yuan, so she could only follow Fang Yuan back to that shallow beach.
Fang Yuan chose two healthy crocodile corpses, and cut open their stomachs, removing their internal organs. After washing them, he dragged them into the forest.
"You are actually thinking of this?!" Bai Ning Bing was also a smart person, and following them all the way here, she had already vaguely guessed Fang Yuan's goal.
She could not help but feel amazed at Fang Yuan's ingenious thinking.
"Man is the spirit of all living beings, and their intelligence is limitless. To survive, it is normal to think of some strange methods. Let's sleep here tonight. "Fang Yuan said, and after explaining a few tricks, he went into the crocodile's stomach alone.
Then he rolled inside, and the six legged crocodile's body smoothly approached a beast-trap tree.
Whoosh!
The nearest vine immediately sprang out, as fast as a shadow. Two leaves opened wide, and after swallowing the crocodile's body, they firmly merged together.
Then, the vine twisted, and slowly lifted the heavy leaves to the top of the tree.
"Go to sleep, we still have to hurry tomorrow." The leaves on the top of the tree rustled, and Fang Yuan's voice came out.
Bai Ning Bing was stunned on the spot, looking at this scene, dumbfounded.
After a while, she came to her senses.
The sun had completely set, and darkness enveloped the area. The night wind blew gently, passing through the forest, making a whimpering sound.
Bai Ning Bing gritted her teeth, and followed Fang Yuan's example, entering the crocodile's stomach, and rolling to the beast-trap tree.
Almost at the next moment, she felt an external force attacking her, causing the crocodile's body to shake violently.
After another wave of shaking, she felt herself rising slowly.
Finally, the rising force stopped.
Bai Ning Bing was lying in the crocodile's stomach, and the crocodile was lying flat on the leaves.
She looked outside, and through the gaps between the leaves, she could see the stars in the sky.
The surroundings were quiet, and the stars were bright, as if mischievous children were winking at her.
"The sky is full of stars, our luck is not bad, tomorrow will be a good day." Fang Yuan's voice came from outside.
Bai Ning Bing didn't reply. She shifted her body to make herself more comfortable.
But the ice-cold crocodile's body still gave her a chill.
At the same time, a sweet smell entered her nose.
Bai Ning Bing was not surprised, according to Fang Yuan's instructions, this was the beast-trap tree starting to secrete acid.
But this acid needed at least three months to corrode the crocodile's body. Bai Ning Bing hid in the crocodile's body, and was temporarily safe.
"Right, I should use the Crocodile Strength Gu first, then rest …" Bai Ning Bing thought in her heart, but her eyelids were as heavy as a mountain, and gradually closed.
Almost instantly, she fell into a deep sleep.
She was too tired, first drifting for five days and five nights, and then fighting with the crocodile group. In the battle, she surpassed the limits of her physical strength, and dug out a portion of her potential.
Maybe it was also because she had transformed into a female body, but Fang Yuan's intentional or unintentional pressure made her physically and mentally exhausted.
Fang Yuan, however, did not sleep.
He lay in the crocodile's body, and called out tusita flower, taking out some cotton clothes and cloak. He divided them into two parts, placing one under his body, and the other on his body.
Even though it was torturous, after this arrangement, there was a sense of warmth.
The crocodile's body seemed to have turned into a comfortable bed of leaves.
Fang Yuan still had some energy left, so he closed his eyes and sank into his mind, activating his primeval essence to nourish his aperture.
Although he did not have the Liquor worm, which increased his primeval essence. But Fang Yuan had the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus, and with the help of his A grade aptitude, his nourishing time was greatly increased.
His primeval sea surged, rising and falling like tides, and waves washed against the aperture's four walls. Every time he consumed a bit, it would be replenished immediately. Even if he nourished his aperture for an entire night, it would not be a problem to consume his primeval essence.
But Fang Yuan did not do so, nourishing his aperture could not replace sleep. After midnight, he stopped cultivating, and closed his eyes to sleep.
