Chapter 1862

At Gu tribe headquarters in the depths of Eastern Sea, over half a month passes before the seal the real Wu Shuai placed on part of his inheritance is completely unlocked. Fang Yuan’s dragonman clone Wu Shuai stores a large grey rock in his immortal aperture and dissects it, revealing two Immortal Gu. One is the rank eight Ant Nest, core Immortal Gu of Green Ant Ascetic, which breeds all kinds of army ants. The other is Letter Seal, a rank seven information path Immortal Gu holding a large amount of content on army ants. The tribe’s leader grows more certain of Wu Shuai’s identity. ^{ch. 1862}

Army ants, a species Green Ant Ascetic created and the real Wu Shuai’s most used method, suit enslavement path Gu Immortals extremely well, but their queen cannot breed another queen, a huge disadvantage. They vanished from history when Duke Long ordered the records of the exterminated dragonmen removed. To keep Ant Nest from starving, the real Wu Shuai covered it in rock membrane with Letter Seal, which stayed inside as the price. Ant Nest is still alive after so many years. Both Gu are extremely weak and hungry, and Wu Shuai feeds them food Fang Yuan prepared. ^{ch. 1862}

Wu Shuai thanks the tribe for keeping its word, and the leader admits its Gu Immortals coveted the inheritance, though each new leader added a seal and the tribe kept fate Gu’s revelation in mind. Wu Shuai guarantees the friendship will last and says he and Fang Yuan have solved the killer move that exterminated his clan.

The leader says the tribe has allies, among them Eastern Sea’s Merman Imperial Court, which has helped it a lot, and the clone brightens at the good news. The tribe also trades with Murong tribe in Northern Plains, where the leader once received warm hospitality while attending Northern Plains’ auction. Wu Shuai realizes the leader was the disguised man at that auction, which Fang Yuan’s main body also attended.
