Chapter 127: So-called morals and relationships (Long chapter)
Translator: Skyfarrow Editor: Skyfarrow
Only until evening did the Gu tournament e to an end.
On the alliance slope, the Gu Masters from all three clans were no longer as divided as earlier. Gu Masters plastered the slope and only three densely packed groups could be vaguely seen remaining.
Gu battle sparring was both a form of venting and also promise.
In this world where the greatest value is strength, only with strength es respect, and that forms the basis for cooperation.
After Xiong Li challenged Fang Yuan, no one else came to look for him.
Fang Yuan was only a newbie and did not have much interactions with the other two clan’s Gu Masters, not to mention any animosity. As for his own clansmen, they would not challenge someone from their own clan in this situation.
Especially after Fang Yuan admitting defeat, it caused other Gu Masters to lose interest in him. Towards this ‘lazy’, ‘cowardly’ opponent, what value is there in winning?
Not wanting to be trampled on, there are two ways. One is to bee strong, strong until no one dares to step on you. Another is to turn into dog shit, something no one would want to step on.
Fang Yuan did not care about dog shit, or the reputation of the strong. He always acted unscrupulous, and only cared about the results. Without anyone challenging him, it made his life easier.
The surrounding people’s contempt and disdain , he treated it like air. If he could not endure even these gazes, what right did he have to pursue the demonic way?
The alliance gathering ended successfully, and Gu Yue clan, Bai clan, and Xiong clan all reached an agreement.
First, declaring the rules. The three clans will temporarily put aside their grudges and resist the wolf tide together. In times of danger, they will assist each other. At the same time, internal killing is prohibited, and an investigating battle group will be set up. Once they find any murders, the murderer will first be chased out of the clan, then the three clans will bring judgement together, making them pay with their lives. If the murderer escapes outside, their families’ lives will be forfeited.
Even if the Gu Master dies, Gu worms retrieved from their corpses have to be given to the clan, and if it is used secretly, they will be charged with murder. After the Gu worm is submitted, they can exchange it for merit points.
Secondly, setting up the battle merit board. With a small group as a unit, every moment will be showing the battle achievements of the groups from all three clans and their rankings. A lightning wolf’s eyeball is exchanged for ten merit points. Merit points can be used to exchange for Gu worms, primeval stones, and other resources.
The appearance of the battle merit board naturally inspired the hot bloodedness of the Gu Masters.
The result of the Gu battle sparring could not explain the true strength of both parties in actual bat. For example in the case of Xiong Jiang and Bai Bing Yi, other than the Water Drill Gu, Bai Bing Yi naturally had other attacking methods, but Xiong Jiang’s Shadow Bond Gu only had an effective range of ten meters.
Furthermore, the results of any battle are swayed by many external factors.
Gu battle sparring lacked a convincing element, which the battle merit board can provide as a fairer method of petition.
The Gu Masters from the three clans wasted no time in hunting lightning wolves, fighting for a better ranking on the battle merit board.
This was not just for one’s own glory, but also for the reputation of the clan.
Especially the top three positions in the merit board, it showed intense petition. Almost every day, the top three would have some sort of change.
Very quickly, a month passed.
Winter left and spring came, causing all living beings to grow once more.
After a battle.
Fang Yuan stepped on the remaining snow, regulating his breathing as well as observing the battlefield around him.
On the battlefield, there were over ten lightning wolves, all dead. Wolf blood and minced corpse could be seen everywhere, and the air emanated a smell of thick blood.
Howl…...
At this point, wolf cries could be heard from a distance not too far away.
Fang Yuan’s expression changed slightly. With his experience, he knew that a pack of wolves were heading this way rapidly.
If it was any other Gu Master, after an intense battle, without enough primeval essence in their aperture, they might have thoughts of retreating. But Fang Yuan did not care about this; he squatted down and began to gather the eyeballs from the wolf corpses.
His movements were fluid and highly efficient, but even so, after he was done extracting, he was already half-surrounded by the wolf pack.
This was a mid-sized wolf pack with around one hundred crippled wolves, their greenish wolf eyes showing a ruthless expression as they stared at Fang Yuan firmly.
Fang Yuan kept the wolf eyes well before standing up with a smile. Next, his body flickered like water ripples, and he vanished on the spot.
The wolf pack that had e to assault him were instantly riled up, and some of the crippled wolves stood in their tracks, showing a hesitant feeling.
After all they were wild beasts. Seeing such a magical scene, it was hard to prehend.
"But, this is also because the lightning wolf king uses its wolf eyes to observe, and not its nose. Lightning wolves are fantastical creatures of this world; their vision is sharp like an eagle, but their sense of smell is no better from humans. My Stealth Scales Gu counters these lightning wolves perfectly, but it cannot hide from a dog’s nose." Fang Yuan was clear in his heart.
Stealth Scales Gu was successfully refined by him before the Gu battle tournament. It was like a fossilised carp, grey throughout, lying in Fang Yuan’s primeval sea, letting the liquid essence flow around its very realistic fish scales.
The Fish Scale Gu that Fang Yuan lacked was naturally obtained by trading the Black Boar Gu with Qing Shu.
With this Stealth Scales Gu, Fang Yuan could retreat from under the lightning wolves’ nose.
In these few days, this situation had already occurred many times.
Normally, wolves or hounds had very sensitive noses. But lightning wolves were different — they were very fast, but without clear vision, they would knock into a tree or the mountain rocks.
But nature is fair, as when it bestowed the lightning wolves with its sharp vision, it also took away their sense of smell.
However, the lightning crown wolf was different.
Even with the Stealth Scales Gu, Fang Yuan could travel freely among the normal wolf tide, but in front of a myriad beast king like the lightning crown wolf, he had nowhere to hide.
That is because the lightning crown wolf’s eyes had the Lightning Eye Gu residing in it — this Gu allowed the ability to see through all sorts of cloaking.
Other than the Lightning Eye Gu, there are actually also many other Gu worms that can detect the stealthed Fang Yuan.
For example, the Snake munication Gu, it can detect heat. The Beast Language Gu can allow a Gu Master and wild beasts to converse and obtain information. The clairaudience Gu can allow a Gu Master’s hearing to be extremely sensitive.
Thus, even with the Stealth Scales Gu, it did not mean Fang Yuan was pletely safe, but it was at most a good life-saving trump card.
When he returned to the village, it was still afternoon.
The day in spring was bright and beautiful, and there were many people passing in and out of the village door. What was different from previous years was that people on the road were mostly Gu Masters, while there were very little mortals.
Under the influence of the wolf tide, the wilderness was not safe. Hunters did not dare to hunt in the mountains, and farms were almost abandoned.
On the streets, Gu Masters were high in morale, each returning with blood traces all over, or enthusiastically leaving.
They were either talking about the battle merit board’s ranking, or discussing their experiences in killing the lightning wolves. Some were talking about the well-performing Gu Masters from the other villages.
Fang Yuan was among the crowd that walked into the village, and he went to the village square in front of the family head pavillion.
The square already had a stage; the merit points were exchanged here.
A large amount of Gu Masters gathered here, and Rank one Gu Masters were doing administrative work. Some Rank two Gu Masters squeezed around, using the bloodstained wolf eyes to exchange for merit points.
There was also a portion of them that were using their merit points to exchange for primeval stones, Gu worms or food ingredients, etc.
In the middle of the village square, a large banner was erected, and on it there was the written language of this world; it was constantly changing.
This is the battle merit board, and on it there are over a dozen Swimword Gu.
Rank one Swimword Gu, after being manipulated by Rank one support Gu Masters, can freely convert the contents of the writings on the banner.
"Hmph, why is the #1 still the Bai clan’s Bai Bing Yi’s group?" Some stared at the battle merit board, frowning.
"Let me see, Bai Bing Yi is #1, our clan’s Qing Shu group is #2, and Xiong Li group is #3, my group is the 137th." A Gu Master counted.
This time, someone suddenly said, "It changed, it changed! Qing Shu group is now #1. They pushed Bai clan’s Bai Bing Yi to #2!"
On the battle merit board, the symbol showing the second ranking Qing Shu group suddenly moved, crawling its way upwards and pulling the Bai Bing Yi group down with its "hands
