Fang Yuan Do's

CHAPTER 14 - In The Mountain Gap Hides A Deep Theory

The Liquor Worm was shaped like a silkworm, its entire body giving off a white glow.

It was a little fat and had a cute appearance.

Liquor Worm eats wine and can fly. While flying, he would curl up into a ball, and his speed was extremely fast.

Even though it was only a rank 1 Gu, but its value was even greater than some rank 2 Gu.

Making it into one's vital Gu was much more beneficial than Moonlight Gu.

Currently the Liquor Worm was fixated on a bamboo rod, only 50-60 steps away from Fang Yuan.

He held his breath, not approaching rashly, but slowly walking backwards.

He knew the distance was very close, but to actually capture the Liquor Worm head-on it was a very difficult task for a Gu Master who had just opened an aperture like him.

You could say, there is absolutely no hope for success.

Fang Yuan was unable to see the Liquor Worm clearly, but in the darkness he could feel the Liquor Worm directing its vigilance at him.

He slowly retreated gently, trying his best not to disturb the Liquor Worm.

He knew that if the Liquor Worm flew away, he would never be able to catch up to his own speed.

He had to wait until the Liquor Worm drank himself intoxicated, and then with his slowing flying speed he would have a chance to catch it.

Seeing Fang Yuan retreat further, the Worm Liquor that was creeping on the bamboo trunk moved.

The strong aroma of wine earlier was so seductive, so alluring, that it made Liquor Worm drift in daydreams.

If there was saliva, it would long salivate around it.

But the Liquor Worm was extremely vigilant. Only after Fang Yuan retreated 200 steps did he shrink slightly and bounce into the air.

When flying high in the air, his body curled up into a ball, looking like a small, white rice dumpling.

The small dumplings swept through the air forming a round arc, drifting down into the grass that was previously sprinkled with green bamboo wine.

With a delicious meal right before his eyes, the Liquor Worm caught his guard.

He impatiently climbed up to the flower bud filled with wine and stuffed his little head inside, leaving only a plump tail on the outside.

The Liquor Worm was voracious, and the green bamboo wine was extremely delicious.

It opened its mouth wide and inhaled, very quickly losing its delicacy of food, completely forgetting Fang Yuan.

At this moment, Fang Yuan began to approach cautiously. He could see the tail of the Liquor Worm outside the flower bud.

This tail is like the tail of a silkworm, fat and round. The light it emitted made people think about pearls.

Originally the tail of the Liquor Worm hung outside, motionless.

Then after a while this tail began to curve upward, indicating that he was drinking with great joy.

In the end when Fang Yuan was only 10 steps away, his tail started to sway and swing with a cheerful rhythm.

It was really drunk!

Seeing this made Fang Yuan almost laugh. He did not continue to walk forward, but patiently waited.

If he were to hurry now, he would definitely have a great chance of capturing the Liquor Worm, but Fang Yuan's intention was for this Liquor Worm to guide him to the remnants of the Flower Wine Monk.

In an instant the Liquor Worm withdrew from the flower bud. His body was fatter and his head swayed, resembling a drunken person.

Unexpectedly it was unaware of Fang Yuan's presence.

He climbed on top of another bright yellow flower and alighted in the stamens, eating wholeheartedly on the wine droplets there.

This time after finishing drinking, I finally felt full. His body slowly shrank into a round ball and slowly flew away.

When he was 1.5 meters above the ground, he casually flew towards the deeper part of the bamboo forest.

Fang Yuan quickly followed in his footsteps.

The Liquor Worm was already heavily intoxicated, making it fly at half its usual speed.

Despite this, Fang Yuan still had to run with all his might to follow his shadow.

The night washed his eyesight as the young teenager ran in the bamboo forest, chasing a small snowflake not far ahead.

The moonlight was soft, the breeze was slow and steady.

In the clear pond-like bamboo forest, a stem of green spear bamboo flashed before his eyes, quickly falling behind him.

The land is a stretch of green grass, full of wild flowers that bloom. There were small stones with moss growing, and yellow bamboo shoots.

Fang Yuan's faint shadow also sped forward on the ground, passing through the shadow that every bamboo rod cast onto the earth like a black line.

He tightly kept his gaze on the snowflakes, inhaling a large amount of fresh mountain air, ordering his feet to chase amidst the faint aroma of wine in the air.

Due to his speed, the moonlight looked like tears in his eyes.

Light and shadow often move, like running fast in water filled with seaweed.

The Liquor Worm flew out of the bamboo forest, as did Fang Yuan.

The sea of white flowers with yellow spots in the middle borrowed the wind from his feet, spreading his petals.

A bunch of crickets resembling a flowing poem happened to be moving forward.

As Fang Yuan dashed past him, there were swish and red clouds blooming before him, spreading around the sea of fireflies that emerged from the clouds.

A calm mountain stream paved with pebbles, the bubbling water surface reflected the spring moon in the night sky, with a few splashes wading through Fang Yuan, creating thousands of silver-colored ripples.

It is a pity that this river, after so long, its beautiful and precious stones were trampled and crushed.

Fang Yuan was in pursuit, firmly following behind the Liquor Worm. Climbing up the mountain stream, he could already hear the sound of a waterfall.

After he circled the sparse forest, he saw the Liquor Worm flying into the crack in the middle of a huge boulder.

"So here." He was panting, his heart racing in his chest like a madman.

With this single stop he could feel his entire body filled with sweat, hot air surging all over his body accompanying his increasingly rapid blood flow.

Looking around, he discovered that this place was a shallow bench.

Gravel of various sizes covered the ground, the surface of the river barely covered the small stones.

There are also chunks of gray rock scattered freely in the area.

Behind Qing Mao Mountain was a huge waterfall. The flow of the waterfall varies with the weather, it falls to the earth, pounding a deep pool.

Beside the deep pool was the Bai clan, a clan with strong influence comparable to the Gu Yue clan.

The waterfall branched into many smaller branches, and it was apparent that Fang Yuan was facing one of the many branches.

On normal occasions this ground base is dry, but due to the recent heavy rain that lasted for 3 days 3 nights, shallow streams are formed here.

The source of the flowing stream came from the huge boulder that the Liquor Worm had entered before.

The stone rests on a vertical mountain wall.

The small waterfall that branched off from the main waterfall was like a silver python that flowed down the mountain wall, crashing into a huge rock.

After quite a long time, the central part of this huge rock had eroded and formed a crack.

At this time the waterfall flowed profusely, the water current roared slowly. It was like a white curtain, completely blocking the gap in the boulder.

After observing his surroundings, Fang Yuan's breathing was no longer anxious.

His eyes flashed with a hint of determination, he walked to the boulder and took a deep breath, then he rushed in first.

The stone crevice was rather large, and 2 adult humans could walk side by side in it without any problems.

What else could be said with Fang Yuan, who was only a 15-year-old teenage boy?

As soon as he rushed in, a torrent of water pressed down on Fang Yuan's body.

At the same time cold water quickly wetted him from head to toe.

Fang Yuan struggled against the water pressure, moving at a rapid pace forward. As he walked a few dozen steps, the water pressure began to decrease.

But the space in the crack also began to shrink, and Fang Yuan could only walk sideways.

His ears were filled with the roar of water, the top of his head was white, and deeper into the boulder was a black darkness.

'What is hiding in the dark?'

It can be a poisonous snake, but it can also be a poisonous lizard. Maybe it was a trap set by the Flower Wine Monk, or maybe it was empty.

Fang Yuan could only continue advancing by walking sideways, slowly creeping into the darkness.

The water no longer soaked his head, the stone walls were covered in moss, grazing his skin, feeling slippery.

Immediately he was swallowed by the darkness, and the rock crevice became narrower, narrowing around him.

Gradually his skull was not able to spin freely. Still Fang Yuan gritted his teeth and continued forward.

After walking another 20 steps, he realized that there was a red light in the darkness.

At first, he thought it was an illusion. But when he blinked and focused, he began to make sure that this was indeed light!

This awareness made him renew his spirit.

He continued walking another 50-60 steps, the red light getting brighter. In his eyes, the light slowly expanded into long, vertical, and smooth stitches.

He stretched out his left arm, suddenly feeling that the wall in front of him had been bent.

Instantly he rejoiced, knowing that there was a sealed space inside the boulder. With a few more steps he finally rushed into this thin layer.

His eyes were greeted with a view of approximately 80m².

"I've been walking for so long. With this distance I have long since passed a boulder, so I should be at the heart of the mountain cliff right now."

As he measured this hidden space, he moved his hands and feet, stretching his limbs.

The entire room was filled with a dim red light, but he did not know where the light was coming from.

The stone walls were damp and covered in moss, but the air here was extremely dry. On the wall there were also some withered vines.

The vines intertwine with each other, weaving on half the surface of the wall. There were even some withered flowers growing on the vines.

Fang Yuan looked at the remains of these flowers and leaves, feeling somewhat familiar.

"This is Wine Sack Flower Gu, and Rice Pouch Grass Gu."

Suddenly a thought flashed through his mind and he could recognize these withered stems and vines.

Gu comes in many forms. Some like mineral rocks like the blue crystal form of Moonlight Gu.

Some come in the form of insects, such as the Liquor Worm which is like a silkworm. There are also types of grass, such as Wine Sack Flower Gu and Rice Pouch Grass Gu..

These two types of Gu were natural rank 1 Gu. Only by pouring out the primeval essence can they grow.

After growing the middle part of the flower will give off flower nectar, and the grass pouch will grow fragrant rice.

Fang Yuan moved his gaze along the vines, and sure enough he found a pile of withered roots gathered into a ball-shaped clump in the corner.

Liquor Worm was resting in a dead root clump, sleeping soundly. It's been easy to reach.

Fang Yuan walked over and took the Liquor Worm into his arms.

Then he knelt down and pulled the dead vines, finding a pile of skeletal bones encased within.

"I finally found you, Flower Wine Monk." There was a smile on his lips as he looked at this.

Just as he was about to extend his hand and release the remaining vines, suddenly

"Don't move!" A voice full of killing intent suddenly sounded behind Fang Yuan.
