Reverend Insanity · Chapter 498

"That's two hundred thousand wolves now! But… it's still not enough. (May 5 update)" A flash of deep thought flickered in Fang Yuan's eyes. "There's no need to rush into accumulating ordinary wild wolves. When the time comes, people will send them to my doorstep willingly. The priority now is to expand our high-end combat power."

Although Beast Kings were occasionally for sale in Treasure Yellow Heaven, they were always bought by other Gu Immortals shortly after.

Fang Yuan knew it was unrealistic to try to buy several Wolf Kings in a row. So, he shifted his focus to the variant beasts.

Every adult variant beast had battle power on par with a Ten Thousand Beast King.

Every first-rate enslavement path Gu Master had an ace team of variant beasts.

For instance, the Lion Mastiff troops of the Southern Border's Dog King, Jiang Baoya's Mountain-Boring Rat army, Yang Poying's Thunderhawk flock, and Ma Zun's Celestial Horse herd.

There were many types of wolf variant beasts. As it happened, four types were up for sale in Treasure Yellow Heaven.

The first type was the Blood Forest Wolf.

This type of wolf was enormous, just like a hill. An adult standing at its feet was like a fox standing beside an elephant.

The Blood Forest Wolf's coat was blood-red, and its fur was withered like wormwood. A "white forest" grew on its back.

These "trees" were actually the bones of the Blood Forest Wolf, extending from its back and growing upright. The white bone trees were covered in blood-red maple leaves. A cluster of these trees was commonly known as the "Blood Forest".

After the Blood Forest Wolf gave birth to pups, it would place them in the Blood Forest on its back, providing a vast space for the pups to play. The blood fruits in the forest were the pups' food.

The Blood Forest Wolf was like a moving fortress. Although it wasn't fast, it possessed an extremely strong crushing ability, something many Ten Thousand Beast Kings lacked.

The second type was the Shark Fin Wolf.

This was an amphibious variant beast the size of an elephant. Its body was covered in smooth crocodile armor. At the same time, sharp deep-blue fins grew on both sides of its body. It also had a row of shark-like fins on its back, which lined up from the wolf's head to its tail.

The Shark Fin Wolf had the strongest defense among variant wolf beasts, and it also had the ability to fight underwater.

The third type was the Frenzied Wolf.

The Frenzied Wolf was entirely silver-gray, with three eyes. It was not large, similar in size to an ordinary Thousand Beast King.

However, those who underestimated it because of its size suffered severe consequences.

Once a Frenzied Wolf began to fight, it became incredibly ferocious, its movements extremely swift, and it wouldn't stop until it killed its opponent. Especially when it opened its third eye, its combat strength would skyrocket fivefold!

Once it opened all three eyes, regardless of the outcome of the battle, it would die in combat.

This was a terrifying type of wolf that was oblivious to its own safety, falling into a battle frenzy.

The fourth type was the White-Eyed Wolf.

The pupils of the White-Eyed Wolf were completely pure white. They had extremely powerful eyesight, and even at night, their vision was not affected in the slightest.

In Treasure Yellow Heaven, one Blood Forest Wolf, three Shark Fin Wolves, two Frenzied Wolves, and five White-Eyed Wolves were all bought by Fang Yuan.

At the same time, in the distant Shadow Sect Blessed Land in the Southern Border, Old Man Yan Shi squinted his eyes, staring at the Penetrating Gu in the air.

Fang Yuan's massive acquisition of wolves, buying Wolf Kings and variant wolves in succession, had drawn the attention of this Wisdom Path Gu Immortal.

"This Fang Yuan, why is he suddenly buying so many wolves?"

This mysterious rank seven Wisdom Path Gu Immortal, who was operating behind the scenes, furrowed his brows.

He tried to deduce the reason using his Gu worms.

But the result he obtained was that Fang Yuan wanted to raise wolves for profit.

This result did not satisfy him.

"The environment of the Fox Immortal Blessed Land is most suitable for raising foxes. Although wolves are similar to foxes, there are ultimately differences."

Blessed Lands were blessings, lands of grace. But each Blessed Land had its differences, and the graces bestowed were not the same.

For example, the Fox Immortal Blessed Land was most beneficial for raising foxes. Fox packs living in this place would grow better and reproduce more. In the Lang Ya Blessed Land, it was beneficial for refining Gu, and it was more suitable for Mao Min to live in.

The Shadow Sect Blessed Land, on the other hand, was beneficial for soul path Gu Masters to cultivate.

Deep in his heart, a feeling told Old Man Yan Shi that Fang Yuan's actions held great significance.

But the Wisdom Path was not omnipotent, and it had its drawbacks. Otherwise, the Wisdom Path would have long dominated the Gu Master world, not the current situation of a hundred flowers blooming and various paths contending.

Wisdom Path deductions required evidence. The more evidence and the more reliable it was, the more accurate the result it would guide a Wisdom Path Gu Master to deduce.

But Old Man Yan Shi, although a Wisdom Path Gu Immortal, had no way to predict that Fang Yuan was a reincarnator.

Old Man Yan Shi deduced that Fang Yuan used the Fixed Immortal Travel Gu to go to the Fox Immortal Blessed Land. But he would never have guessed that Fang Yuan had actually run off to the Northern Plains.

If Fang Yuan had sold the Divine Travel Gu in Treasure Yellow Heaven, perhaps he might have connected the dots.

But Fang Yuan was cautious and directly sold the Divine Travel Gu to the Land Spirit of Lang Ya. Old Man Yan Shi lacked this most crucial piece of evidence, causing him to deduce an erroneous result.

He calculated it a few more times in succession, but it was always this result.

"Must I really sacrifice my own Lifebound Gu?" Old Man Yan Shi thought. All the pores on his body opened, and a wisp of cloud-smoke leaked out from every single pore.
