Although he was curious about the Orange Equipment White Bone Obelisk, Gu Xi ultimately did not leave with Wang Yongshou.
His reason was quite straightforward: he was afraid that if he went over there, he might not come back alive.
Although Wang Yongshou repeatedly made assurances, there was nothing he could do if Gu Xi refused. He could not forcibly drag Gu Xi over there.
In the end, Wang Yongshou left carrying a handful of black ash.
As he left, his eyes held an expression that said, You have no idea what you missed.
Fortunately, Wang Yongshou was still filled with guilt. When Gu Xi refused to see the Orange Equipment, Wang Yongshou had already begun considering how to compensate him.
Gu Xi, however, still knew nothing of this.
After seeing off the baffling Wang Yongshou, Gu Xi began selecting a suitable location near the Rotten Forest to build a village.
From their earlier conversation, Gu Xi had already learned a few facts.
The greatest objective in this world had been the Fusion Society's Third Elder.
Now, the Third Elder was dead.
The world would return to normal next.
If he did not seize some benefits now, when would he?
Besides, there had clearly been something wrong with Wang Yongshou's attitude just now.
Although Gu Xi did not know why Wang Yongshou looked guilty toward him, that did not stop Gu Xi from taking advantage of that mindset to stir things up.
After Wang Yongshou left, Gu Xi quietly shifted the location where he intended to build his new village farther outward.
This brought a Soul Crystal mine and a rather special mine into the area.
A Holy Stone Mine.
This Holy Stone Mine was somewhat similar to the Dragon Blood Crystals and Dragon Steel Gu Xi had obtained before.
