Chapter 63: Lava Cave, Sunlight Gu
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Soul Capture Gu and Fang Yuan’s minds were connected, and it agreed without hesitation.
Following the previous situation, it controlled the other four Gu worms and continued to attack.
Although these Offspring Gu were not very strong, they were numerous and could not be killed in a short amount of time.
Bai Yao waited until they were a distance away before removing the barrier and following them.
“Are you just going to watch the show like this?”
Fang Yuan already had the confidence to go against her.
In this space where he could not use his spirit essence, he had all sorts of abilities and the Gu slave to support him at any time. If they fought again, he would have the upper hand.
However, if Bai Yao continued to hide in the barrier, he would not be able to do anything to her.
If he could not break it outside, he would not be able to break it inside the ruins.
“I have already sent the Gu slave to help you, what else do you need me to do?”
Bai Yao pretended to be humble and said pitifully, “Don’t tell me you want a weak girl like me to fight against those Gu worms without any spirit essence? Aren’t you being a little too heartless...”
Fang Yuan snorted coldly, knowing that she planned to preserve her strength and was determined not to make a move, so he did not say anything more.
It was not a good time for him to turn hostile.
The other party’s status in the Gu Demon Sect was not low, so she would definitely attract the attention of the sect.
Who knows, other than that flesh and blood barrier, she might have other life-saving methods.
If he made a rash move, he might very well fail, especially in this unfamiliar environment.
Before he had absolute strength, he had to act prudently.
Just like that, the two of them and the Gu slave continued to advance, gradually exploring the depths of the tunnel.
However, after walking for a long time, they did not meet any turns, nor did they meet any rooms or halls.
It was as if the depths of the tunnel were still a tunnel, without an end.
But what made people feel more comfortable was that the deeper they went, the fewer Offspring Gu there were.
In place of their numbers were Offspring Gu that were larger in size and strength.
If the Offspring Gu at the entrance were larva, then these ones were considered adults.
Thinking about it, larva needed a large amount of spirit essence to survive.
Although the entrance to the ruins was closed all year round, it was not completely sealed. Spirit essence from the outside world would still flow in from the cracks.
This was their way of survival.
The deeper they went, the stronger the Offspring Gu they encountered, which meant that they were closer to the Mother Gu.
Soon, Fang Yuan could no longer kill them with just the ice and fire elemental energy in his body.
He had no choice but to take out the Gu wine and drink it.
“You still have the mood to drink at a time like this?”
Bai Yao was confused by Fang Yuan’s actions.
Fang Yuan did not explain.
The trigger for Intoxicated Rage was to drink.
And one had to be drunk.
If he was not drunk enough, he would not be able to exert much strength.
But if he drank too much, he would not be able to control himself, and he would feel dizzy.
Thus, he had to control his alcohol tolerance.
If he had a physique that made him drunk after a cup, he would not be able to control it.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan had been drinking Gu wine to improve himself.
After a long period of accumulation, his strength did not increase much, but his alcohol tolerance was growing.
After a few cups, Fang Yuan was only slightly tipsy.
But he did not dare to drink anymore.
The effects of the Gu wine were very strong, so this factor had to be taken into account.
If he really passed out here, he might not be able to wake up for the rest of his life.
Fang Yuan started to stretch his muscles and bones, and started to fight the Offspring Gu, trying to speed up the circulation of blood and Qi, so that the alcohol would quickly enter his brain.
The buffing ability from the Intoxicated Rage also started to kick in at this time.
He was only slightly tipsy, and could not display half of his skill’s strength.
But Fang Yuan was already able to deal with the Offspring Gu, which were already half the height of a person, with ease.
Intoxicated Rage made his body full of strength.
It was as if he had unlimited strength.
And his speed was also much faster.
Fang Yuan was able to react to the Offspring Gu’s movements while attacking and defending.
Although it was not as powerful as Phantom Steps, it was still very impressive.
At least dealing with Offspring Gu of this level was relatively easy.
After an unknown amount of time, Fang Yuan felt that he was in a drunken state, when a fork finally appeared in front of him.
“Looks like we don’t have to fight to the death for the treasures in the ruins.”
Bai Yao pointed at the two completely opposite paths, “You and I can choose different paths, and no matter what there is, it will belong to each of us, and the other party cannot interfere. What do you think?”
“Sure.”
Fang Yuan naturally would not refuse.
In any case, the Gu slave was already under his control, so he would know what Bai Yao wanted to do. There was no harm in them splitting up.
Thus, they split up.
Fang Yuan and Bai Yao went their own ways, one to the left and one to the right.
The tunnel on the left was narrower than the one on the right.
As Fang Yuan went deeper, the tunnel became hotter and hotter, and he did not know where he was.
After using the fluorescent Gu to explore for a while, he finally saw a room.
Using the fluorescent Gu’s light, he looked inside.
The space inside was huge. It was at least a hundred square meters, and there were shelves placed close to the walls.
It was covered in dust, but there were no weapons.
There was a sword forging facility in the middle, but it was badly damaged and could not be used.
Even if it was something left behind by a Tribulation transcender, it had no value.
Instead, there were many things in the corner, and they were piled up casually like sundries.
After scavenging for a while, they were all useless things like sword forging residues.
“Looks like this place has been abandoned for a long time.”
Fang Yuan did not have any hope of obtaining any divine weapons here, so after making a round and confirming that there was no need to stay, he continued to move forward in the tunnel.
At the same time, through the Sound Transmission Gu, he obtained information of a handwritten letter from the Soul Capture Gu.
He did not know what was written on it, but if it was a cultivation method, then Bai Yao would have profited greatly.
It seemed that he was rather unlucky.
As he moved forward, the heat in the air became more and more intense.
Fang Yuan was already drenched in sweat, and his aura was surging.
If he could use spirit essence to protect himself, this would be a good place to absorb the fire element.
Unfortunately, with the restriction of the Devourer Mother Gu, unless it was completely eradicated, this place would remain a forbidden area.
After walking for a while, the road gradually became slanted, as if it led to somewhere underground.
Fang Yuan had a premonition that he was about to reach the end of this tunnel.
After an unknown amount of time, a ray of red light appeared in front of him.
“I’m here!”
Fang Yuan was overjoyed and even quickened his steps.
Not long after, the scene before him suddenly became clear.
He stepped into a natural karst cave. The space was extremely large and it was abnormally hot.
The source of the red light and heat was the lava pit at the center.
At the bottom, there was lava flowing, carrying an extremely violent energy.
Fang Yuan’s sharp eyes saw a palm-sized cave on the wall.
There was a slight surge of spirit essence inside, as if there was some creature living inside.
Could it be the Mother Gu?
Fang Yuan immediately used the system to scan.
Immediately, a line of small words appeared in front of him.
[Sunlight Gu] : offensive type Gu worm.
Fang Yuan’s eyes immediately lit up.
