Chapter 51 Basic Thunder-Based Gu Insects! Thunder Pattern Gu
After packing their belongings and cleaning up any traces of their presence in the camp, the three headed towards the territory of the Golden Horned Rhinoceros.
Shi Lin hadn't decided which spirit ring he wanted to absorb yet, so he went to kill the Golden Horned Rhinoceros first to let Shi An absorb the spirit ring.
Shi Lin and his two companions walked from morning till night, finally arriving at a grove on the edge of the Golden Horned Rhinoceros' territory around 3 p.m.
Because the Golden Horned Rhinoceros is considered the strongest soul beast group in the Soul Hunting Forest, Shi Lin and his companions dared not rashly enter the Golden Horned Rhinoceros' territory.
This location is not far from the territory of the golden rhinoceros, allowing for close observation of the rhinoceros and the option to set off directly to hunt it tomorrow morning.
"Young Master, this should be the best place to set up camp. Shall we rest here tonight?" Shi An suddenly stopped and pointed to the woods in front of him, asking Shi Lin.
Upon hearing Shi An's words, Shi Lin glanced at the woods in front of him.
The trees in this forest are very lush, and there are many small animal sounds. There shouldn't be any particularly powerful spirit beasts here, so it's indeed a good place to rest.
"Alright, let's scout out the surroundings first. If there's no danger, let's hurry up and set up camp. We need to get a good night's rest, because we still have to hunt golden rhinoceroses tomorrow." Shi Lin nodded, agreeing with Shi An.
After the three of them scouted the area and confirmed that there was no danger, they entered the woods, chose a suitable spot, and prepared to set up camp there to rest for the night.
Shi An and Lin Yu collected timber to build a temporary camp.
Shi Lin didn't help them with the work; instead, he took out the materials he had dismantled from the Thunder Jackal and prepared to refine Gu worms.
The most eye-catching item among these materials is that small, silvery-white horn.
This small horn is the most valuable of all the materials, and it's also where the Thunder Jackal's lightning-attribute soul power gathers.
Shi Lin was also curious about what kind of Gu worm could be made from this material. If a top-tier Gu worm could be made, it would be of great help in hunting the Golden Horned Rhinoceros tomorrow.
Shi Lin found a sheltered spot to sit down, then summoned the Divine Wood King Cauldron, preparing to begin refining Gu worms.
With soul beast materials and soul beasts, it is possible to refine top-grade Gu worms. If a few more top-grade Gu worms can be refined, the combat power of Shi Lin and his companions can be further enhanced.
After calming himself down, Shi Lin prepared to begin refining the Gu worms.
Having learned from his previous experience in refining the Swamp Poison Gu, Shi Lin did not use bamboo worm-like soul beasts to refine the Thunder Horn Gu this time. Instead, he selected a beetle with horns and prepared to use this beetle and the small horn of the Thunder Jackal to refine the Gu.
He threw the small horn into the Divine Wood King Cauldron, and then poured the beetle into the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
Shi Lin channeled a surge of soul power into the Divine Wood King Cauldron.
[Unknown Gu worm... 40% success rate]
"I didn't expect that such a small horn would have a 40% chance of being successfully refined." Shi Lin said with some surprise as he looked at the success rate in front of him.
Without hesitation, Shi Lin poured his soul power into the Divine Wood King Cauldron and began refining Gu worms.
The next second, the silvery-white horn turned yellow, then gradually decomposed, finally becoming a yellow cloud of gas with white electric arcs.
The air mass gradually enveloped the beetle.
Shi Lin also stopped inputting soul power.
The next step is to fuse the materials and the soul beast.
Shi Lin was not in a hurry and quietly waited for the Gu worm to be refined.
After about five minutes, the yellow gas cloud inside the Divine Wood King Cauldron gradually merged into the beetle's body.
The beetle, which was originally black, has now turned golden yellow, as if it had been thrown into molten gold and rolled around in it, or as if it were made of gold. In short, it looks much more luxurious.
Shi Lin took the Gu worm out of the Divine Wood King Cauldron, preparing to examine its attributes.
[Gu Insect: Thunder Pattern Gu]
[Level: Tier 1]
[Quality: Top Grade]
[Functions: 1. After signing the contract, inputting soul power will unleash an arc of electricity attack; 2. One Thunder Pattern Stone can be produced every thirty days]
[Description: One of the basic lightning-attribute Gu worms, of excellent quality and refined using good techniques, it can be used as a refining material for various lightning-attribute Gu worms]
"It seems that not all soul beast materials can be used to refine top-grade Gu worms." Shi Lin frowned slightly as he looked at the golden beetle in his palm.
Shi Lin was still somewhat dissatisfied that the Thunder Pattern Gu was not of the highest quality.
Although the Thunder Pattern Gu is not very strong, it is the basic Gu worm of the Thunder Path and can be used to refine second-stage Thunder Path Gu worms.
If Shi Lin wants to strive to become a Thunder Dao Gu Master, he should indeed stock up on more Thunder Pattern Gu.
However, Shi Lin had no interest in the Thunder Dao and did not want to become a Thunder Dao Gu Master, so the Thunder Pattern Gu was not very valuable to him.
However, Shi Lin could only refine high-grade Gu worms from the silver horn, so he refined the remaining two golden horns into soul beasts, and finally only successfully refined one mid-grade Thunder Pattern Gu.
Shi Lin took out a high-grade Thunder Pattern Gu and channeled a wisp of soul power into the Gu worm.
A thin arc of electricity shot out and struck a tree, creating a hole only two centimeters deep. The attack range was only three meters!
A complete waste!
The lightning attacks released by the Thunder Pattern Gu were essentially no different from a back scratcher when they hit a tough-skinned creature like the Golden Horned Rhinoceros.
So Shi Lin reluctantly threw the two Thunder Pattern Gu into the bamboo basket and left them alone.
As for the other materials on the Thunder Jackal's body, Shi Lin had no interest in them and simply threw them on the ground.
At this time, Shi An and Lin Yu had already built a simple shed out of wood.
"Young Master, aren't you going to refine a few more Gu worms?" Lin Yu scratched her head, looking at Shi Lin's expression, and asked him curiously.
"This thing isn't very useful, why would I bother refining it?" Shi Lin said irritably.
"Young Master, you didn't get enough rest last night. How about Brother An and I keep watch tonight?" Lin Yu asked Shi Lin in a low voice.
"No need, let's keep watch together. I'll take the first half, and you take the second half. There shouldn't be any soul beast attacks tonight. Get a good night's sleep. We need to stay alert to fight the Golden Horned Rhinoceros tomorrow." Shi Lin waved his hand, rejecting Lin Yu's suggestion.
There was no other way; Shi Lin had the lowest cultivation level and the fewest contracted Gu worms among the three, so he had to keep Shi An and Lin Yu in top condition to deal with the Golden Horned Rhinoceros.
"Young Master, the campfire is lit, let's eat quickly," Shi An said to Shi Lin and Lin Yu.
Shi Lin dealt with the Gu worms, then stood up, dusted himself off, and walked towards the campfire.
Tonight's dinner is roasted jackal meat and some dry rations.
There's no way around it; in the wild, there's no way to prepare three dishes and a soup.
