Chapter 60: Seeing The Gu Slave Again
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There were only two possibilities of encountering a ruin in a mystic realm.
One was that it was a secular architecture that the creator had marked out as part of the mystic realm.
The second was that it was the tomb of the creator.
This was a stone forest made of huge rocks.
Among them, there was a hole that led underground.
It was hard to tell which one it was.
But no matter which one it was, it was worth exploring for future generations.
The two of them were also attracted by the scene here. They stopped at the same time, wary of each other’s movements, and slowly retreated.
Screech!
The cry of a mutated beast came from the stone forest in the distance.
Fang Yuan raised his head and looked.
They were fire spirit monkeys.
They could control a certain amount of fire power, and their level was in between demonic beasts and mutated beasts.
Their strength was extremely tyrannical.
They were born at the second layer of the Enlightenment Realm, and they liked to live in groups. The fire spirit monkeys weren’t something either of them could deal with.
However, they were guarding the periphery of the underground cave of the ruins.
It was basically impossible to enter the ruins without them noticing.
Fang Yuan glanced at the woman and saw the same desire in her eyes.
“There are at least twenty fire spirit monkeys here. The biggest one might already be a Fusion Realm demonic beast.”
The woman was the first to speak. Her tone was calm, as if she had forgotten that the two of them were still fighting just now.
Fang Yuan did not speak. He knew that the truth was not much different from what she had said.
The woman turned her gaze to him and chuckled. “Do you want to go in?”
“You should be asking yourself that.”
Fang Yuan replied indifferently.
Fire spirit monkeys were a fire attributed demonic beast, so its habitat must have a large amount of fire elements.
He might run into the Sunlight Gu here.
He naturally wanted to go in and take a look.
But because the woman was here, it was inconvenient for him to move.
Whether it was to lure away the monkey group or to force his way in, the other party would definitely not let him off easily.
The woman saw his hesitation and smiled. “Why don’t we join forces?”
Fang Yuan sneered, “If you did not launch a sneak attack outside the cave entrance, perhaps I would have considered it.”
“Speaking of which, this is all your fault.”
The woman revealed an aggrieved expression when she heard this and replied weakly, “You have the aura of my sect’s personal disciple token on you, but I don’t know you, so I can only take it as you killing my sect’s disciple and take revenge.”
Fang Yuan naturally knew that the other party’s goal was to use him as a material to refine Gu, but he still frowned and took out the token with the ‘Demon’ word.
“Yes, that is it!”
The woman’s gaze was like water, and there was no trace of enmity in it. “If not for this, I would not have known that you were outside.”
Fang Yuan seemed to have realized something. “You are from the Gu Demon Sect?”
The Gu Demon Sect was a large sect adjacent to the Gu Immortal Sect, and their overall strength was on par with Gu Immortal Sect. They had many conflicts over the years, but on the surface, they did not shed all pretenses of cordiality.
“You have sharp eyes, I admire you.” The woman continued to say nice things. She wanted to use this to reduce Fang Yuan’s hostility towards her.
“Cut the crap, what do you want?”
Fang Yuan did not attack as she wished. After all, their strength was on par, so there would not be any results if they continued fighting.
However, he was still very vigilant against the woman.
“The fire spirit monkeys like to brew wine. As long as we can find their wine cellar and steal all the wine, the monkeys will definitely be furious and go out to look for enemies. This way, the cave door will open and we can take the opportunity to enter.”
The woman lazily fiddled with the light gauze that was as thin as a cicada’s wings on her body. Her ample bosom shook along with it, and the lower end of the cloth that was used to cover her exposed a small round curve. Her eyes were like silk as she said, “Young Master, you’re so fast. It should be easy for you to take the wine from under the eyes of the monkeys, right?”
If it were any other male Gu master, seeing her beautiful appearance and such an attitude, they would probably be immediately seduced and agree without a second thought.
But Fang Yuan only smiled slightly when he heard this and did not comment.
A honeytrap?
She was still too inexperienced.
He had seen his senior naked before, so what was this?
Fang Yuan’s gaze slowly turned from appreciation to disdain.
None of them were as big as his senior’s!
She was using this to test one of the Gu Immortal Sect’s personal disciple?
Which personal disciple could not withstand such a test?
“You are insincere.”
Fang Yuan raised a finger, shaking it left and right. “If this is the case, then there is no need for us to cooperate.”
“Then what do you want?”
The woman’s expression changed. She knew that Fang Yuan would not fall for this, so her charming expression could not be maintained any longer. It gradually froze, returning to her cold and arrogant expression.
“It is simple, I provide the information, you act on it.”
“What do you mean?”
“You don’t understand?”
Fang Yuan’s eyes flashed with a bright light, activating the True Sight Gu’s ability. He explained, “I will give you the location of the wine cellar and the information inside the ruin, and in exchange, you will lure away the monkey group. It’s a fair trade.”
The woman hesitated.
Fang Yuan continued to fan the flames. “If you don’t agree, then leave. At worst, I will not explore this ruin.”
“Alright!”
After hesitating for a while.
The woman finally nodded.
She saw through Fang Yuan’s thoughts. She knew that if she did not take some risks, she would not be able to explore this ruin.
Following that, Fang Yuan told her the location of the wine cellar that he had found with his True Sight Gu.
“Is there anything strange under the ruins?”
This was what the woman was really concerned about.
Fang Yuan shook his head, “I will tell you when you bring the wine back.”
The woman could not help but feel angry, but she had no choice but to do as she was told.
Fang Yuan waited for a while. He did not know how she did it, but she actually came back with a large jar of monkey wine.
[Ding, the Drunken Gu feels the pure wine brewing and is extremely excited. Success rate of breakthrough increased by 20%.]
Hmm?
The Drunken Gu made some progress?
Could this be one of the five flavours of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, intoxicating, five flavoured wine?
“Now you can tell me, right?”
Fang Yuan’s heart moved. He took out some wine and tasted it. He pretended that his eyes lit up and praised, “Good wine!”
The woman pushed the jar in annoyance, “It’s all for you, so tell me quickly.”
Fang Yuan’s goal was achieved, and he immediately put the wine into the Drunken Gu’s storage space.
Then, the system rang again.
[Ding, your Drunken Gu has received intoxication, it has received a buff and a new ability, Intoxicated Rage!]
[Intoxicated Rage] : When you are drunk, physical damage will be doubled (does not receive a boost from spirit essence)
Fang Yuan listened to this information and said calmly, “I saw that the spirit essence in the ruins is very thin and almost extinct. I suspect that there is a formation to seal spirit essence inside. If there is no way to deal with it, I’m afraid it will be very dangerous.”
“Is that it? I thought it was something else.”
The woman laughed charmingly, and a purple light flashed in her eyes.
Then, she took a few steps back and stood to the side.
The continuous heartbeat earlier was heard not far away.
Thump…
Thump…
Thump thump…
Along with the dull footsteps, it approached their position step by step.
Soon, a tall figure walked out of the cave.
This was a creature could no longer be called a human.
Its body was extremely huge, and it was over three meters tall.
Strangely, it no longer had four limbs. Instead, it had four limbs that were formed by the parasites of four Gu worms. They had strange shapes and were all different.
They were connected to the head and body, like an ugly stitched monster.
Fang Yuan’s gaze landed on a mark on the other party’s glabella. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and blurted out two words.
“Gu slave?”
