He had finally reached rank six.

With six times the strength, Fang Yuan’s physique had already surpassed most Foundation Establishment Stage Gu masters.

Moreover, he had the Drunken Gu, which produced more than a hundred milliliters a day, and his physique was constantly increasing.

Fang Yuan had the Bloodthirsty Gu continue to devour the raging flame bear’s flesh and blood.

Unsurprisingly, he once again obtained the Raging Flame Rod Technique ability.

“It seems that as long as it is an elemental type demon beast, I can obtain a new ability after my Bloodthirsty Gu eats it.”

“Unfortunately, it has this limitation, it can only be used on the rod.”

The surviving members of the caravan started to collect the corpses of their comrades, burying them on the spot.

Yu Bing looked at her comrades who she had eaten with in the morning, but had now turned into an ice-cold corpse, and she was somewhat depressed.

Fang Yuan took this parting of life and death lightly. He shook his head and thought about the question that he had been puzzled about before.

“How can there be two demon beasts with conflicting attributes at such close proximity?”

This was a situation that absolutely went against common sense.

Not to mention demon beasts, even ordinary mutated beasts that did not have the ability also had territorial awareness.

The more powerful an existence was, the more serious this kind of awareness was.

Under normal circumstances, demon beasts like the raging flame bear and the frost wolf would be separated as far as possible, and their habitat would not be near the edge of the other’s territory.

Because their attributes restrained each other, there was a possibility that they would start fighting over some small friction.

But now, they had appeared in the same place.

And they both attacked them.

This made Fang Yuan suspect that someone controlled these two demon beasts and did this on purpose.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan seemed to have some ideas and immediately called Yu Bing over.

“Brother, what’s wrong?”

“Do me a favor.”

Fang Yuan pointed at the two demon beast corpses that had yet to be put away but were already shriveled to the point of being only skin and bones, and said, “Use the Enemy Searching Gu and check their path when they came.”

“Brother, are you afraid that someone used underhanded methods?”

Yu Bing immediately thought of his concerns.

Fang Yuan gave her a thumbs up. “You are indeed my sister. As expected of your unparalleled intelligence, innate talent…”

“Stop!” Yu Bing covered her ears with both hands, her face slightly red, “Stop praising me, I will go now.”

The Enemy Searching Gu could trace and search for enemies.

Now that the two demon beasts were dead, it could only rely on their scent to determine where they came from.

This was a bit difficult. From time to time, there would be one or two interruptions due to unexpected circumstances, and it was a waste of time and effort.

Even so, Fang Yuan still persisted.

Soon, the scent traces left by the two demon beasts pointed to the same cave.

“There is indeed someone behind this.”

Fang Yuan sneered, “Sister, hide outside, I will be back soon.”

Yu Bing pouted, “What if the person behind the scenes is already watching us? They’ll catch me later… Mmm… Mmm…”

Fang Yuan did not hesitate much. He directly covered her mouth and brought her into the cave.

However, it did not take long for them to realize that something was wrong.

The cave was very damp and cold. The deeper they went, the more it became like this.

In the empty environment, other than the sound of water droplets and their footsteps, there was no other sound.

There were no remains of bonfires, no food scraps, not even any traces of cultivation.

Other than some beast feces, there was nothing else.

This did not seem to be a place where anyone had stayed.

Even Yu Bing was not confident. She grabbed her Enemy Searching Gu and patted it. Her pretty face was filled with doubt.

“Are you broken?”

“Squeak Squeak!”

She did not expect the Enemy Searching Gu to sound like a hamster. It was quite a contrast.
