Vol 1 Chapter 14 (2/2)

Looking around, he found that this place was a shallow benchland (1)

Pebbles of various sizes covered the ground, the river surface barely covering over the sray boulders scattered freely in the area

Behind Qing Mao Mountain was a huge waterfall The flow of the waterfall varied with the weather; it plu out a deep pool Beside the deep pool was the Bai Clan Village, a clan with powerful influence that was coe

The waterfall branched out toYuan was facing one of the many branches of a branch On normal occasions this benchland was dry, but due to the recent heavy rainfall that went on for three days and three nights, a shallow stream formed here

The source of the flowing streae boulder that the Liquor worm had entered into earlier

The boulder leaned against a vertical mountain wall Small waterfalls that branched away from the main waterfall were like silver pythons that flowed down theonto the boulder After a considerably long tie boulder had eroded away and formed a crevice

At this tiently roared It was like a white curtain, coap in the boulder

After observing his surroundings, Fang Yuan’s breathing was no longer anxious His eyes flashed with a hint of resolve; he walked to the boulder and took in a deep breath, and then he rushed in headfirst

The boulder gap was rather large, and two adult humans could walk side by side in it with no proble Yuan, as e boy?

Once he rushed in, the rapid currents pressured down on Fang Yuan’s body At the same ti Yuan battled against the water pressure,in quick steps forward As he walked a few dozen steps, the water pressure started to lessen

But the space in the fissure also began to shrink, and Fang Yuan could only walk sideways His ears were filled with the roaring of the water, the top of his head was a sheet of white, and deeper into the boulder was a black darkness

What was hiding in the darkness?

It could be a poisonous serpent, but it could also be a poisonous gecko Perhaps it was a trap set by the Flower Wine Monk, or perhaps it was empty

Fang Yuan could only continue forward by walking sideways, slowly edging into the darkness The water no longer washed over his head; the stone walls were covered inslippery Soon he ed by the darkness, and the stone crevice beca around him Gradually even his skull could not rotate freely Still Fang Yuan gritted his teeth and continued forward

After walking another twenty ht in the darkness At first, he thought it was an illusion But when he blinked and focused, he began to confirht!

This realization made him renew his spirit

He continued walking for another fifty to sixty steps, the red light growing brighter In his eyes the light slowly expanded into a long, vertical and fine seam

He stretched out his left ar that the wall in front had bent away Instantly he rejoiced, knowing that there was an enclosed space inside the huge boulder With another few steps he finally rushed into this light seam

His eyes were greeted with the sight of an approximately 80meters² wide enclosure

“I have been walking for so long With this distance I’d have long passed the boulder, so I should be in the heart of the ht now” As he sized up this hidden space, hehis limbs

The entire rooht, but he could not tell where the light was co from The stone walls were damp and covered in moss, but the air here was very dry On the walls there was also a feithering vines The vines intertwined with each other, weaving across half of the wall surface There were even a feithering flowers growing on the vines

Fang Yuan looked at the re somewhat familiar

“These are Wine Sack Flower Gu, and Rice Pouch Grass Gu” Suddenly a thought had crossed hisstems and vines

Gu came in many shapes and forms Some were like ht Gu Some came in the forms of worms, such as the silkworrassy types, just like the Wine Sack Flower Gu and the Rice Pouch Grass Gu before Fang Yuan

These two types of Gu were Rank one natural Gu Just with pouring in pri up the middle of the floould secrete flower nectar wine, and the grass pouch would grow out fragrant rice

Fang Yuan h he discovered a heap of withered roots gathered into a ball-shaped clu on the clu soundly It was already within easy reach

Fang Yuan walked over and took the Liquor worot onto his knees and pulled the dead vines apart, discovering a pile of skeleton bones bundled inside

“I’ve finally found you, Flower Wine Monk” There was a smile on his lips as he saw this

Just as he was about to reach his hand out and strip away the re vines, suddenly-

“Try touching it?” A voice full ofYuan
