The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu

Chapter 73: (1): The Rise of the Queen Bee



Lei Guang glared venomously at Long Xuan but did not retaliate. He finally calmed down.

His situation was dire, facing a critical predicament. He could not afford to continue entangling with Long Xuan and needed to break through as quickly as possible, or he might die here today.

With a fear of death, he ignored Long Xuan and dashed in a straight line with reckless abandon. The Thunder Flash Gu excelled at straight-line speed. Any wolves in his path were either knocked away or clung onto him, tearing off large chunks of flesh.

This was the downside of running straight; he couldn't avoid the wolves' attacks, resulting in numerous fatal injuries. But the urgency of the situation left him with no other choice.

He had to ignore the wolves' attacks and charge in one direction, hoping to break out of the encirclement as quickly as possible.

However, Long Xuan wouldn't let him have his way. Whoever released their external Gu first was at a disadvantage. Lei Guang had done so and suffered for it. Now it was Long Xuan's turn to use his trump card.

While deftly avoiding attacks from all directions, Long Xuan opened his insect bag and pulled out little white. Upon seeing little white, his face darkened.

little white was currently holding a jug of wine, guzzling it down like water. The precious jug of fine distilled liquor was being wasted by this little creature.

Long Xuan looked pained. That wine was worth a fortune. How could it withstand such waste?

This wine Gu only drank wine, nothing else. It wouldn't grow without drinking his top-quality distilled wine. What household could sustain such extravagance?

It's often said that the cost of raising Gu far exceeds refining Gu, and Long Xuan truly felt this now.

He had a premonition that his mining earnings would eventually be squandered by this little creature. It was just a matter of time.

Long Xuan, with a dark expression, said, "Are you full yet? If you are, go stop that person. If he escapes, you can forget about drinking any more wine. I can't afford to support a great god like you."

Long Xuan pointed at Lei Guang, who was about to break through the encirclement.

Little white looked at Lei Guang with a drunken gaze. Without any visible movement, a white light curtain spread from Little white, extending in a strip towards Lei Guang's feet.

Lei Guang suddenly felt immense resistance in the space around him, as if an invisible hand was hindering his every move. Every step required immense effort, significantly slowing him down.

What made it worse was that only he was affected by the slowing field; the wolves' speed remained unchanged.

As the field continued to spread, encompassing the wolf pack, the white snake didn't just ignore them but actually sped them up.

This was absurd.

Lei Guang felt an urge to vomit blood, utterly collapsing. How could he fight when only he was slowed down while the wolves were sped up?

He was about to break through the encirclement when the wolves, now much faster, quickly overtook him, forcing him back to the center. His eyes filled with despair.

With the wolves sped up, their attacks were now even deadlier. Many attacks that he could have dodged were now unavoidable, especially since he was slowed.

The Wolf King, particularly, became a crazed beast with increased speed, its combat power skyrocketing.

After killing the Thunder Purple Gold Toad, the Wolf King, realizing its increased speed, attacked the heavily injured Lei Guang with renewed ferocity, testing its enhanced combat power.

With the strengthened Wolf King in the fray, Lei Guang was under immense pressure, frequently getting scratched, leaving deep wounds.

With only his Thunder Flash Gu left, all other Gu were dead, and with his speed decreased, Lei Guang was defenseless against the Wolf King's attacks.

Soon, the Wolf King tore off his right leg, and without the ability to move, he was swiftly overwhelmed and torn apart by the wolf pack, dying a gruesome death.

Long Xuan showed no mercy. "Those who kill shall be killed."

Since Lei Guang enjoyed killing and plundering, he had to be prepared for retaliation.

Long Xuan smirked coldly, grabbed Lei Guang's storage bags and insect bag, and prepared to break out.

The wolf pack, having killed Lei Guang, turned their attention to Long Xuan.

However, Long Xuan, confident in his abilities, wasn't afraid of them.

Even if the situation became dire, he could use his two-hundred-year Spirit bomb, wiping out the Wolf King and its pack, no matter how many wolves there were.

But the current situation didn't warrant using the Spirit bomb, which cost two hundred years of lifespan. He wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary.

Little white's field expanded, enveloping the wolf pack.

This time, the wolves were slowed down, and Long Xuan was sped up.

With this advantage, Long Xuan easily broke through the encirclement, leaving the wolves far behind.

The Wolf King, now frustrated, couldn't keep up with the fluctuating speed and eventually gave up the chase.

Beast tides were terrifying for most, almost certain death if surrounded by beasts.

But for Long Xuan, entering a beast pack was like strolling through his backyard. He could come and go as he pleased.

Even a prodigy like Lei Guang was torn apart by beasts, while Long Xuan escaped unscathed.

After distancing himself from the wolves, Long Xuan eagerly checked his spoils.

Lei Guang had three storage bags at his waist, surely filled with treasures.

As he opened them, Long Xuan's eyes lit up.

The bags were filled with treasures, piled high. Two were completely full, a wealth beyond imagination.

Long Xuan couldn't help but marvel at how many people this devious guy had killed to amass such wealth. Killing indeed brought quick riches.

He quickly inspected the contents of the three storage bags and insect bag, and a bright smile spread across his face.

Goodness, it's really a bountiful haul. He actually found materials from two Beast Kings inside, along with peak-grade spirit insects that parasitized the Beast Kings.

One was a Deer King and the other a Ox King, which happened to be the necessary materials for refining the Dragon Gu.

Deer antlers correspond to the dragon's horns, and Ox ears correspond to the dragon's ears. Now, he has gathered the eyes, ears, scales, horns, and claws for his Dragon Gu.

He has already collected five-ninths of all the parts for the Dragon Gu and more than half of the nine portions of Beast King materials.

And how long has it been since he started? He hasn't even created the formula for the Dragon Gu yet, and he has only come up with less than 10% of the content.

At first, he was worried about not finding the materials and considered abandoning the plan to research the Dragon Gu formula. Now, it seems his worries were completely unnecessary.

It can only be said that this beast tide came at just the right time. Any kind of beast material could potentially be collected during the beast tide.

It is estimated that this Lei Guang collected the materials from the two Beast Kings by continuously ambushing and killing geniuses.

Long Xuan was overjoyed.

These were just the materials he needed. There were many other materials he didn't need, some even more precious than the Beast King materials.

In short, Lei Guang's wealth was truly astonishing.

Long Xuan was very satisfied.
