Chapter 96: For the sake of those who died
Trantor: Skyfarrow Editor: Skyfarrow
The primeval essence that Fang Yuan recovered while in the boar’s stomach went unused ultimately.
The beast horde this time was under the supervision of the Gu Yue higher-ups, and the lightning wolf
gang was just a small ident. Quickly, the Gu Yue higher-ups gave their response.
Three n elders led their respective teams and swiftly grasped the situation.
Merely ten minutester, Fang Yuan could hear fighting sounds from outside the boar’s stomach, as
well as the cries of the lightning wolves.
He quickly kicked the female Gu Master out, and crawled out with blood stains all over him.
Fang Yuan was naturally not afraid of the lightning wolves, but he was afraid of getting caught in the
battle. If a Gu Master identally attacked the corpse, wouldn’t he be too unlucky, by then who can he
hold responsibility for?
With a big living person suddenly crawling out from the boar’s stomach, this caused the few Gu
Masters fighting the lightning wolves to be taken aback.
Fang Yuan’s entire body was a bloody mess, and his leg was still entangled in the wild boar king’s
intestines. His entire body emitted a nose-piercing bloody smell, and the few Gu Masters frowned in
response.
But Fang Yuan paid no heed to that, he breathed deeply in enjoyance, extending his limbs and
observing the battlefield.
As he had predicted, there were five lightning wolves.
But these lightning wolves were either old or injured. They were the bottom of the pack’s hierarchy. As
the wolf pack got stronger and bigger, in order to protect the young and healthy lightning wolves, the
wolf king would expel all these old and sickly wolves in order to allocate resources efficiently.
These lightning wolves gathered together and rushed towards the surrounding beast groups, and under
each other’s influence, eventually formed this small beast horde.
The five lightning wolves quickly had casualties under the Gu Masters’ attacks.
They were too full from eating, and their stomachs expanded, affecting their battle strength. At the
same time, new arriving Gu Masters had sufficient primeval essence in their aperture and had their
peak battle strength, unlike Jiao San and the rest.
Primeval essence was especially important to Gu Masters. A weakened phoenix is inferior to a chicken,
with less primeval essence, a Gu Master’s battle strength would fall rapidly. And without primeval
essence, they were even inferior to mortals.
Why do you think for example, the Liquor worm, ck and White Boar Gu, these Gu were so precious?
It had to do with this fact.
Firstly, with the Liquor worm, it can refine primeval essence and allow Gu Masters to store much more
primeval essence. (Remember that higher tier essence is essentially double of the previous tier 88%
Mid tier = 44% Upper tier)
And the ck and White Boar Gu worms gave Gu Masters strength. Without requiring primeval
essence, they can unleash their worth. And for the ck and White Boar Gu, once one person has
used them, they can be given to another person to use, showing great collective value in a group.
The battle continued for a while and stopped.
The five lightning wolves continued to fall, and the new reinforcement group did not venture further.
Their primeval essence had been used up nearly, and their battle strength had been greatly reduced.
To be safe, they stopped on the spot. As they recovered, they awaited further reinforcements.
A group of five, with the reconnaissance Gu Master keeping alert while the other three used primeval
stones to recover their primeval essence, the healing Gu Master bent down and observed the female
Gu Master’s corpse.
“She’s dead…” Healing Gu Master sighed deeply. Seeing his sad expression, it seemed like he knew
the female Gu Master.
Fang Yuan watched coldly.
This female Gu Master which he had knocked unconscious was blocking in front of him. Now she had
lost her right chest, and a leg. Her arm was also greatly injured by the wolves, eaten until the bones
could be seen.
But these injuries and the massive loss of blood was not the true cause of her death.
What caused her demise, was cardiac arrest.
The lightning wolves’ bites carried electric currents with them. The currents flowed into the female Gu
Master’s body while she was unconscious, and caused her to have a heart attack.
The originally beautiful and sexy body was now lying on the ground, still and unmoving. Her previous
mour was nowhere to be found, being just an ugly dead corpse now.
“She’s dead, and it is all your fault! As a man, why did you hide behind a woman? You’re a disgrace to
men!” The healing Gu Master looked up, staring at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan shrugged emotionlessly, his expression calm, “The truth is, shepeted with me over the
spot, but eventually I won, so I’m very d about the results.”
“Scumbag!!” The healing Gu Master rushed up.
Bam.
Fang Yuan raised his feet and sent him flying.
Healing Gu Masters were normally weak atbat, and because of the n rules, he did not dare to
use his Gu worms. Justpeting with physical strength, how can he be Fang Yuan’s match?
“This detestable guy!” Healing Gu Master crawled up with a dusty face and wanted to rush up again,
but was stopped by the reconnaissance Gu Master.
“If you think Imitted a crime and caused her to die, you can report it to the punishment hall, I’ll take
it,” Fang Yuan said lightly as he stared at the healing Gu Master, and left.
“Damn! Damn it!” The healing Gu Master’s eyes were blowing fire as he stared at Fang Yuan’s
backview, urging to rush up but was restrained by his teammates.
“Calm the hell down!”
N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
“Even if you report it to the punishment hall, the n won’t punish him!”
“We know you liked her, but although the n cannot punish him, we can spread this matter out…”
Under the urging of his teammates, the healing Gu Master calmed down and lowered his head, crying.
“A boat encountered trouble, a man grabbed onto a wooden nk and was temporarily saved. At this
time, another man swam up and wanted to grab the nk as well, but this nk can only hold the
weight of one man, so the first man pushed the second man away so that he could be safe, causing the
other person to drown in the sea. The rescued man waster tried in court but dered not guilty. This
is the wooden nk incident on earth.”
“Meaning, to save oneself under forced circumstances, endangering another person’s life is no crime.
On Earth, it is the Necessity Law. In this world, there are simr n rules. This means, even if the
healing Gu Master reports it to the punishment hall, I will not be punished. But….”
Fang Yuan continued to walk as he pondered. He moved in a steady pace without any rush.
Along the path that had been cleared, Fang Yuan would discover corpses, the majority of these being
wild beasts of all kinds of varieties, and in the mix were some Gu Master corpses.
At the same time, there were small rescue groups rushing to the front lines. When they met Fang Yuan
on the way, they would look at this bloody young man with curious and confused gazes.
Fang Yuan paid no attention to them. His eyes were a dark abyss, continuing his train of thought.
“But……” If the fact that I knocked the female Gu Master unconscious was found out, I would be tried
for ‘harming a nsman’. Yet at that time, nobody should have seen it, Jiao San and Kong Jing were all
looking at a different direction and rushing for their lives. Eh?”
Fang Yuan’s footsteps came to a halt.
He saw the corpses of Kong Jing and Jiao San.
The former’s body had already been eaten until it was unrecognisable, while thetter’s corpse was still
well preserved.
The redva python was already a pile ofva rocks,pletely dead. And beside the sickly snake,
there were a few lightning wolves’ corpses. Evidently Jiao San’s final struggle caused a huge battle.
“Good, that means that other than me, everyone else is dead.” Fang Yuan evaluated internally, feeling
joy.
“This means I would have fewer restrictions around me…. Eh?” Fang Yuan stopped, he saw Jiao San’s
finger twitch softly.
“Not dead, what a stubborn life…” Fang Yuan snickered, killing intent rising again.
At this point, there was tens of healing Gu Mastersing from the front.
“Quick, save the injured!”
“They are our nsmen, we have to save what we can!”
“If they are confirmed dead, retrieved their Gu worms.”
Fang Yuan’s gaze concentrated.
What to do?
They were so close, he would have to take a huge risk to kill Jiao San. Whether using strangtion or
a moonde, there will be traces.
In front of these Gu Masters, he had no time to clear the traces.
So… let him live?
Even if Jiao San is treated now, he might not survive.
NO!
“If I can exterminate Jiao San, there would be a lot lesser opposition in my way. Such an opportunity, if
lost, I would have a hard time finding another one.”
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan had an inspiration.
He gradually half-kneeled beside Jiao San, removing his upper shirt and covering Jiao San’s face and
upper body.
He was inside the boar’s stomach for a long time, so the pig’s blood had soaked his shirt, causing it to
be heavy and wet.
He put the upperwear on Jiao San’s nose and mouth, preventing him from breathing.
Fang Yuan half-kneeled, silently watching, his expression solemn and pained.
At this point, a Gu Master came over, “Littled, I am the medicine hall’s Gu Master, let me take a
look…”
“Scram!” Fang Yuan growled angrily, pushing him away.
The Gu Master fell on the ground, but he was not angry, instead consoling him, “Little brother, my
condolences! I know how you feel right now and I know how it feels to see the nsmen that you live
with die in front of you. But you are covered in blood now, you must be heavily injured. For the sake of
these sacrificed nsmen, you have to live properly. Come, let me heal you.”
Fang Yuan did not open his mouth. He remained silent, the lower half of his face covered in a dark
shadow. He allowed this Gu Master to check his body.
The result was rather surprising. Although Fang Yuan was bathed in blood, appearing terrifying to
everyone, he actually had no injuries at all!
But the Gu Master quickly collected his spirits, concentrating on Jiao San.
“I’m very sorry, the n needs to take back the Gu worms.” The Gu Master sincerely looked at Fang
Yuan, then he lifted the bloody shirt slowly off Jiao San.
Jiao San’s eyes were half open without any life in them.
The Gu Master professionally used his finger to prop open Jiao San’s eyelids, looking at his iris and
then touching his neck. But he felt no pulse.
Dead.
Completely dead.
The Gu Master did not suspect anything. He sighed and ced his hand on Jiao San’s stomach.
His stomach still had some warmth and the aperture was slowly disappearing; there were no Gu worms
inside.
The Gu Master looked at Fang Yuan, whether intentionally or unintentionally, “Every Gu Master’s Gu
worm is stated in writing, and after a Gu Master dies, his Gu worms will be treated as an inheritance for
his inheritor. Taking it for oneself is against the n rules.”
Fang Yuan was fearless, staring right at the Gu Master, “Of course I know that. You suspect that I took
the group leader’s Gu worms?”
Taking these Gu worms involved risks and trouble. If his secrets were dragged out, they would bring
more loss than gain. Fang Yuan knew this, even if with the Spring Autumn Cicada he could instantly
refine any Gu, it was difficult to do in the n. It was not worth inviting such troubles for these minute
gains.
Apart from than this, there was another point — with his financial status now, even if he got them, he
might not be able to feed them.
To Fang Yuan’s question, the Gu Masterughed quickly, “I did not mean that! People cannote
back to life after dying, so please restrain your grief, little brother. For the sake of the deceased, you
have to live even better!”
Fang Yuan gradually stood up.
He used an extremely sad and pained expression, staring at sickly snake’s corpse with rapt attention.
The night wind howled in his ears.
“You are right.” After a while, Fang Yuan broke the silence, his gaze determined, saying with an
intentional meaning, “For the sake of those who died, I have to live even better than before.”
