Half an hour later, almost all of Gu Yue Yao Le had been devoured by the black bear.
The black bear seemed unwilling to eat the intestines, as well as the girl's head. But Fang Yuan did not want to see this happen.
According to the secret recipe of the Human-Beast Burial Gu, the best outcome was for the beast to completely devour the person, leaving nothing behind. Only this could guarantee the highest probability of success.
To refine this Human-Beast Burial Gu, nearly ten types of materials were needed.
The two most important were the human and the beast.
The human had to be a virgin, with talent as a Gu Master. This talent had to be at least Grade C. Naturally, Grade B or Grade A were better, as they could greatly increase the success rate of the combined refinement.
The beast referred to a Tamed Beast Gu. Bear Control Gu, Wolf Control Gu, Tiger Control Gu, all were acceptable. Even Deer Control Gu, Cow Control Gu were fine. It was just that bears, wolves, tigers, and other carnivores were more convenient. Chapter 152: Advancing to Rank Three (Second Update) If they were deer or cattle, which were naturally herbivores, one would need a Gu worm to manipulate the Tamed Beast Gu, forcing them to swallow the person.
After the beast devoured the person, one had to immediately begin the combined refinement. If the beast digested the bones and flesh of the person, the refinement would absolutely fail.
Seeing that the black bear was unwilling to swallow Yao Le's intestines and head, Fang Yuan let out a cold snort of displeasure. With a thought, he activated the Bear Control Gu planted on the black bear.
The black bear roared in anger, but under Fang Yuan's coercion, it had no choice but to swallow the intestines and head. At the same time, it also bit and crushed the remaining white skeleton of the girl, swallowing the bones one by one.
The bone spurs were sharp. Forced to eat hastily by Fang Yuan, many bone fragments pierced its mouth and esophagus, causing the giant bear to shed tears in pain.
But Fang Yuan simply forced it onwards. Its body was completely out of its own control.
Seeing the black bear finally shove the entire spine into its throat like swallowing a date whole, Fang Yuan knew the time was ripe.
He flicked his finger, and a single-orb Fire Coal Gu flew out.
The Gu worm flew into the black bear's open mouth and then burrowed deep into its body.
The black bear suddenly let out a tragic howl of pain. The power of the Fire Coal Gu caused its internal organs to burn.
Chapter 152: Advancing to Rank Three (Second Update)
The black bear's entire body shook violently. Its howls were extremely miserable. It wanted to roll on the ground, but the Bear Control Gu firmly controlled its every move.
After burning for half a ke, Fang Yuan pointed his finger, and three more Fire Oil Gus flew out.
Fire Oil Gu was a Rank 1 consumable Gu. Thrown into the bear's body, it self-destructed into a large stream of fire oil, further fueling the fire inside the bear.
The black bear roared until its throat went hoarse. Fang Yuan seized the opportunity and threw several more Gu worms into its body.
These Gu worms were all obtained by him through exchanging his military merits.
The black bear collapsed to the ground, completely motionless.
A moment later, red flames shot out from its seven orifices and behind. Then the flames suddenly grew, spreading over its entire body in an instant, igniting it into a giant torch.
The entire pitch-black cave was illuminated by the fire.
However, this flame was not the usual orange-red, but a strange bloody color.
Fang Yuan waited patiently for a while longer. When the fire showed a slight sign of dying down, he steadily sent out the last Gu.
This was a Rank 2 Poison Gu.
Thrown into the flame, it immediately caused a drastic change.
A ball of white light emerged from within the flame. At first, it was only the size of a fist.
Fang Yuan hurriedly took out primeval stones from his money pouch and threw them into the white ball one by one.
The white ball absorbed the primeval stones and expanded rapidly.
After Fang Yuan tossed in over a thousand primeval stones, the ball expanded to the size of a door, then suddenly contracted.
Whoosh.
The flames on the bear carcass were extinguished instantly, and the cave fell back into darkness. A Gu worm wobbled its way toward Fang Yuan.
Human-Beast Burial Gu.
Rank 3, consumable Gu worm.
It was shaped like a black spider, with furry tentacles. Its head was the head of a bear, and on its back was a blood-colored pattern, outlining a lifelike face of a young girl.
Looking at this face, it was precisely Gu Yue Yao Le.
She seemed to be smiling, yet not, crying yet not, as if staring at Fang Yuan, filled with resentment and hatred!
But Fang Yuan laughed out loud, completely unconcerned.
Man dies, Dao fades. Even when she was alive, she was nothing special. What could she do to Fang Yuan after death?
He unhesitatingly opened his mouth and swallowed the Human-Beast Burial Gu in one gulp.
The Human-Beast Burial Gu crawled into his throat in his mouth, then drilled into his esophagus, suddenly transforming into a stream of black and red liquid.
The stream flowed from top to bottom, like a heavenly river falling upside down, directly pouring into his aperture.
After entering the aperture, this stream of black and red liquid immediately merged into the Red Steel True Essence Sea.
Almost instantly, the entire true essence was dyed a bizarre black-red, exuding a bloody aura.
With a thought, Fang Yuan quickly mobilized the black-red true essence and frantically scoured and washed the surrounding aperture walls.
Ten percent, twenty percent, thirty percent... after thirty-eight percent of the true essence was consumed, the aperture violently shook with a bang. The transparent, white crystal walls shattered with a kacha kacha sound.
In their place was an entirely new, perfectly spherical membrane wall covered in a film of light.
At this moment, Fang Yuan had advanced to Rank Three!
But Fang Yuan did not relax. Instead, he immediately expelled the remaining black-red true essence from his body.
