"What?" Gu Yue Yao Le was shocked when she heard this.
Fang Yuan moved in a flash, striking her neck and knocking her out instantly.
As she collapsed, he caught her by the waist and immediately activated the Stealth Scale Gu, vanishing with her on the spot.
When Gu Yue Yao Le slowly regained consciousness, she found herself in a dark cave.
Dazed, she tried to get up.
But her arms were bound behind her, a rope looped around her neck and tightly secured to a large rock.
All her Gu worms had already been taken by Fang Yuan and refined as his own.
She was only fifteen, her body too weak to break free from the thick ropes wound tightly and knotted several times.
Alone in this unfamiliar cave, fear began to take hold.
Recalling the moment before she fainted, even someone naive would realize Fang Yuan had sinister intentions.
"But how would Fang Yuan deal with me? What is he planning to do? Is it because I complained about him to grandma, thus he is taking revenge?" The young girl was tied helplessly, but her thoughts quickly flipped like pages of a book.
The more she thought, the more frightened she got, and she started sobbing uncontrollably.
"Grandma, where are you? Quickly come and save me…" As she cried, she felt an intense fear and loneliness.
Fang Yuan was nowhere to be seen, and the cave was filled with her cries.
"Is Fang Yuan planning to trap me here? For seven, eight days, and make me suffer in hunger, so I will never speak ill of him again?" After crying for a while, Gu Yue Yao Le thought of a possibility.
"Too evil! Fang Yuan, I will never forgive you!!" She gritted her teeth as her impression of Fang Yuan, which was bad from the start, fell into negatives.
Since her birth, Gu Yue Yao Le had not hated a person so much.
At this moment, footsteps were heard.
Soon, Fang Yuan's silhouette was seen emerging from the shadows.
"Fang Yuan, what do you want, let go of me now! Otherwise my grandma will deal with you." Seeing Fang Yuan, Gu Yue Yao Le struggled intensely, her slim legs stomping on the ground like a small deer that fell into a trap.
"You sure are lively," Fang Yuan coldly snorted.
Gu Yue Yao Le was about to open her mouth and continue crying in a rage, but she soon saw a large bear moving behind Fang Yuan.
"B-bear…" Her widened eyes showed shock as she stuttered.
Fang Yuan laughed coldly and suddenly squatted in front of her.
"What are you doing?!" The young girl tried to move away, but Fang Yuan easily used his right hand and grabbed her cheeks firmly.
His right hand moved quickly, grabbing Yao Le's shirt, and pulled.
The shirt was instantly torn, showing her pink undergarment.
"Ah—!!!" The young girl was stunned momentarily before shrieking loudly, frantically struggling.
Fang Yuan continue to pull and tear her clothing apart.
Soon, the young girl's ragged garment was only left with a few torn strips of cloth, showing off large areas of her milky, delicate flesh.
"No, no!" She was extremely frightened, crying out loudly. As she thought of all the various possible ways Fang Yuan was going to deal with her, her whole body shook and trembled.
However, Fang Yuan did not continue on as she expected, but instead he stood up and moved backwards.
The young girl's loud cries turned into sobbing.
But at this moment, the black bear moved its paws, and got closer.
The young girl was frightened as her iris shrunk into pin-size, for at this moment, she felt an intense sensation of death.
The bear paw struck, and the sound of it breaking air could be heard.
With a crisp sound, the young girl's skull was hit, and the intense force broke her thin neck.
Her head was twisted at a creepy angle, broken and hanging on one end.
One moment ago, she was still an alluring beauty, and the next moment she was a corpse. Her warm body tied to the huge rock, was like a broken toy doll.
At this moment, even without Fang Yuan's control of the Bear Enslavement Gu, with its craving for food, the black bear had already lowered its head, enjoying this sumptuous meal.
It first started to gnaw at the young girl's throat, and fresh blood immediately bubbled out, splashing onto its black fur.
Next were the young girl's white and tender breasts, like flower buds that were unopened.
The black bear bit on her right breast in one whole mouthful, tearing away the skin and flesh, exposing her deathly pale ribs.
At this moment, the black bear used its paw to break these bones. The young girl's internal organs were crushed, and immediately blood poured out endlessly.
Without the skeleton's interference, the black bear placed its mouth further into the girl's body. It nipped at the girl's heart that was still beating, and then proceeded to swallow it in one mouthful.
The heart passed through its throat and into the stomach, and this bear that had to hide around and couldn't eat due to the wolf tide, howled out in satisfaction.
After another cry, it lowered its head again and started to consume her internal organs wantonly.
The black bear's mouth opened and chewed, large amounts of blood gushing out from its mouth, issuing a watery sound.
After a good while, the black bear finally moved its head out.
The young girl's chest was already empty, the immense injury extending to her stomach. But towards the shining, white intestines, the bear did not seem to have much interest.
It started to focus on the young girl's white slim legs.
The girl's jade-like fingers were all bitten away by the black bear at once, and with a few rounds of chewing, the fingers were swallowed with a crisp sound.
The girl's thighs were also a delicacy.
The tender skin and flesh of her thighs emitted a virgin fragrance. When the bear had finished, all that was left was the white leg bones.
Among the swaying movements, the girl's skull finally dropped onto the ground.
To be honest, she did have a cute appearance. Those black lustrous eyes with a round nose slightly pointing up, and her skin blushing like peach blossoms, with a small mouth and two rows of white clean teeth.
But now, her face had lost the colour of blood, her skin turning deathly pale. Her fine black hair was left hanging, covering half of her face, with those pair of eyes staring wide-open, filled with fear and anger.
A death full of grievance!
An hour later, Gu Yue Yao Le was almost completely eaten by the black bear.
The black bear was unwilling to eat the intestines and the girl's brains, but Fang Yuan did not want that to happen.
According to the Man-beast Life Burial Gu recipe, for the best results, a wild beast must consume every part of the human.
This maximizes the success rate.
The refinement requires around ten ingredients, with the two most crucial being the human and the beast.
The human must be a virgin girl with Gu Master aptitude, at least C-grade talent—though B or A grade greatly improves success.
The beast refers to one controlled by an Enslavement Gu—bears, wolves, or tigers are ideal due to their carnivorous nature.
Herbivores like deer or bulls can be used, but only through forced consumption using the Enslavement Gu.
Refinement must begin immediately after the beast finishes eating; if digestion starts, the process fails.
Seeing the black bear ignore Yao Le's brain and intestines, Fang Yuan frowned and activated the Bear Enslavement Gu to force it.
The black bear growled, and under Fang Yuan's oppression, was forced to swallow the intestines and brain. At the same time, it broke the girl's bones to bits and swallowed them piece by piece.
The bone shards were sharp and pointy, but under Fang Yuan's control, it swallowed them and many of the shards stabbed into its mouth and throat, the pain causing the huge bear to tear up.
Seeing the black bear swallow the spine, Fang Yuan knew it was time.
He flicked a Single Aperture Charcoal Gu into the bear's mouth.
The Gu burrowed in, igniting its organs.
The bear trembled in agony but couldn't move, restrained by the Enslavement Gu.
After fifteen minutes of burning, Fang Yuan sent in three Kerosene Gu.
They burst inside, fueling the fire.
The bear's cries weakened as Fang Yuan added more Gu worms, all bought with merit points.
Soon, the bear lay still.
Then, flames burst from its eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and rear, engulfing its body in a red fire pillar.
The cave lit up with eerie red light.
Fang Yuan waited until the flames dimmed, then tossed in a final Rank two poison Gu.
A white light formed in the fire, starting fist-sized.
Fang Yuan fed it primeval stones—up to a thousand.
The light grew to door-size, then suddenly shrank.
Huff!
The flames died, leaving the cave dark.
A Gu worm crawled from the ashes toward Fang Yuan.
Man-beast Life Burial Gu.
Rank three, expenditure-type Gu.
It looked like a black spider with furry long legs, but it had the head of a bear, and on its back there was a blood coloured tattoo, drawing the outline of a young girl's beautiful face.
This was Gu Yue Yao Le's face.
It resembled a smile yet wasn't, it looked like a crying face and yet was not, but she seemed to be staring at Fang Yuan with a gaze filled with utter hatred!
Death is the end of all, even in life she was merely so, what more can she do to Fang Yuan after death?
He opened his mouth with no hesitation and swallowed this Man-beast Life Burial Gu.
The Man-beast Life Burial Gu slid down his throat, transforming into a black-red stream of liquid.
It flowed like an upside-down river, pouring into his aperture.
Once inside, it merged with the red steel primeval sea.
Instantly, the entire sea turned black-red, carrying a strong scent of blood.
Fang Yuan directed the black-red primeval essence to impact the aperture walls.
10%, 20%, 30%—at 38% usage, a loud boom rang out as the white crystal walls shattered.
In their place, a new spherical light membrane formed.
Fang Yuan had advanced to Rank three!
