Chapter 23: The Green Flame Fruit and the Bone-Faced Monkey
Xu Yang's whole body tightened, and he instinctively grabbed the pain in his left shoulder with his right hand. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoA half-inch black bee was pinched between his fingers.
The black bee was as black as ink, and there was a white skull pattern on its back. A stinger on the tail kept expanding and contracting, oozing a little transparent venom. Xu Yang suddenly felt a tingling in his shoulders, and his left hand was unable to operate mana flexibly.
"Senior Brother Xu, you were stung by a poisonous bee, don't get in the way. Seeing this, Zhu Liuqing said with concern.
"It's just that my shoulders are numb, and my mana is a little uncomfortable. As he spoke, Xu Yang wanted to pinch the poisonous bee in his hand to death.
"Senior brother, slow down, this poisonous bee is only found in this valley, I don't know what kind of harm its toxin will do to your body. It's better to put it away first, and when you return to the sect, you can also ask the Pope's predecessors for healing. ”
"I still wish my sister a thoughtful idea. ”
Zhu Liuqing took out a talisman specially bound to poisonous insects and pasted it on the poisonous bee. The talisman turned into a golden thread and wrapped the poisonous bee into a strong one. Then take out a small jade box and put the incapacitated poisonous bee into the box and put it away.
"Why don't we find a safe place, you can get rid of the toxin in your shoulder first, and then it's not too late to go. ”
The two of them chose a flat and spacious place nearby. Xu Yang meditated cross-legged, using his skills to force poison, and wished Liu Qing to protect the Dharma on the side.
The bee venom was quite difficult, and it took half an hour to force the toxin out of the body. Xu Yang stood up, moved his left shoulder, and with a dip of his left hand, a flame appeared on the tip of his left index finger.
"It's all right, let's go ahead with the plan. Xu Yang said with a smile.
Seeing that Xu Yang was unharmed, a smile appeared on Zhu Liuqing's originally nervous face.
"This poisonous bee is not afraid of fire, and although its poison is only paralyzing, its onset of action is fast and cannot be easily removed. If you can domesticate this black bee as a spirit pet and use it in the fighting method, it will definitely become a good help. Xu Yang said.
"Senior Brother Xu is interested in domesticating this worm?"
"I've only heard about spirit worms before. Today, I happened to meet this bee and remembered the domestication. ”
"As far as I know, the domestication of spirit insects is no better than that of other spirit animals. Although spirit insects often have their own unique talents, they have very low spiritual intelligence at the beginning, and it is very rare to domesticate them to use them freely. Therefore, most monks choose to domesticate the spirit beasts that are higher at the beginning of the spirit intelligence as spirit pets, and only some monks with special talents and bloodline secret methods can domesticate spirit insects into spirit pets. Even if it has the ability to domesticate, it is not one in a hundred. Once the spirit insect is domesticated into a spirit pet, its power is much greater than that of ordinary spirit beasts. ”
"My sister is very knowledgeable and admirable. ”
"The Zhu family was originally a Xiuzhen family, so they naturally came into contact with a lot of related classics. As a secular disciple, Senior Brother has just stepped into the cultivation of the true realm in this short period of time, and his cultivation has already reached the second level of the spiritual realm, which is admirable. ”
"Speaking of which, I would like to thank my junior sister, it took the Blood Jade Qilin to achieve my current state with my cultivation. In the past few days since I joined the sect, I have spent most of my time hiding in my room and cultivating, and it seems that I still need to come out more to practice. This time, I came out to try with Senior Sister Zhu and gained a lot. ”
The two walked and chatted until they came to a mountain col.
"Senior brother, look. In the distance, in the middle of the mountain col, there was a large area of spiritual fruit trees under the mist. According to the indication on the map, it should be the Flame Fruit. As he spoke, Zhu Liuqing pointed to a forest in front of the two of them with his hand.
With the lesson of being chased by black bees last time they picked tricolor flowers, this time the two were more cautious.
Xu Yang's face sank, and he said: "Senior sister, slow down, I feel that there are chaotic spiritual power fluctuations ahead, most likely there is a fight. ”
"I also vaguely feel the fluctuation of spiritual power in front of me, maybe it is the senior brothers of the same sect who have arrived first, why don't you take a closer look and then make a decision?"
"That's fine. ”
The two of them hid their bodies and cautiously approached the Spirit Fruit Forest. Hidden far behind a boulder, he poked his head out and looked at it, and was surprised.
I saw a red flame tiger in a clearing thirty meters ahead. This tiger has a body that is more than two feet long, and its head is the size of a millstone. Between the fiery red hair, there was a pale red spiritual flame. A pair of black crystal-like tiger eyes stared at the group of ghost monkeys opposite.
There were as many as thirty or forty ghost monkeys on the opposite side, and each monkey had a white bone exposed on its cheek, and the black hair and the white bone on the cheek formed a sharp contrast, and the ghost was full of ghosts.
The flame tiger's teeth and claws showed its might, and the bone-faced monkey on the opposite side did not show weakness, and their hair stood up and their coercion leaked.
At this moment, the Flame Tiger's blood basin opened its mouth, and a large fireball erupted, sweeping the ground and blasting towards the monkeys, the huge spiritual pressure rumbling the ground, and the soil rolled and scorched everywhere it passed.
"It seems that the cultivation realm of this Flame Tiger is probably comparable to that of a monk in the Void Realm. Xu Yang, who was hiding behind a boulder in the distance, whispered to Zhu Liuqing.
Zhu Liuqing nodded lightly, observing the vicious battle in front of him intently.
One of the monkeys on the opposite side, who was significantly larger than the others, seemed to be the leader of the group, let out a piercing scream, and a palm-sized cyan fireball erupted from his mouth. Immediately afterward, the other monkeys each erupted a cyan fireball from their mouths. In an instant, dozens of cyan fireballs poured down like meteor showers.
Most of the cyan fireballs collided with the large fireballs ejected by the Flame Tiger. Under the collision, cyan and red sparks splashed in all directions, and the rumbling sound was endless. Huge circles of spiritual pressure burst out from the impact in all directions, raising large expanses of flying sand.
The large fireballs were powerful and obviously more powerful, but the small cyan fireballs were numerous. After the collision, the individual and power of the large fireball were obviously consumed a lot, and the number of small cyan fireballs was also lost by half.
The Flame Tiger's tail swept back and forth in mid-air like a steel whip, and the small cyan fireballs that were close to it were scattered by it. Occasionally, one fell on its body and exploded, and the huge tiger body just shook up, and it seemed that there was no major problem.
"Whew-". The Flame Tiger let out a long roar that shook the ground with a tiger roar. Huge spiritual pressure burst out from above the tiger's body. The Flame Tiger leaped and rushed into the monkey pack in two or three strokes, striking it with its front paws or biting with its sharp teeth.
Surprisingly, the group of monkeys was not disrupted by the pounced Flame Tigers. This group of bony-faced monkeys not only has abnormal movements, but also has a very coordinated overall coordination ability. Some of the monkeys kept bombarding the Flame Tiger with cyan balls a little farther away. Other monkeys roared and bluffed in front of the Flame Tiger, nimbly dodging the Flame Tiger's blows and bites.
For a moment, the cyan fireball crackled and bombarded the huge tiger's body, although it couldn't severely damage the Flame Tiger, but the Flame Tiger's actions were obviously affected.
Under the shaking of the tiger's body, the accuracy of the bite was also significantly affected. For a while, the Flame Tiger didn't even catch a single monkey.
The angry Flame Tiger let out an earth-shattering roar, and the coercion was overwhelming, but it was helpless against this group of bone-faced monkeys. After the two sides stalemate for half a cup of tea, the Flame Tiger seemed to be gradually exhausted, its movements were obviously not as agile as before, and the spiritual pressure released gradually weakened.
At this moment, the bone-faced monkey leader leaped lightning and landed on the neck of the Flame Tiger. Revealing two canine teeth as sharp as knives, he bit towards the weak part of the Flame Tiger's neck, and immediately bled like an infusion.
Under the severe pain, the Flame Tiger lowered its head and shook it violently, and the monkey leader who was originally riding on the tiger's neck shrank his body, jumped up in the air, and turned his head backwards, and landed firmly on the ground, and then let out a sharp roar. The other monkeys took the opportunity to fire cyan fireballs together, and attacked the Flame Tiger's neck with precision.
The burst cyan ball of flame kicked up a large expanse of cyan mist. The body of the flame tiger swayed from side to side in the cyan mist, and a pair of black crystal-like tiger eyes had long since lost their original edge. The Flame Tiger opened its mouth and spewed out three large red fireballs in a row, blasting a passage through the monkeys. As soon as he shrunk, he jumped violently, jumped out of the encirclement of the monkeys in three or two strokes, and took the road away.
The monkey leader let out a low whine, and the other bony monkeys let out the same whining as well, as if a cheer of victory.
Next, the monkeys did not continue to pursue the Flame Tiger, but returned to the fruit forest in groups under the leadership of the monkey leader. After a short time, they disappeared into the dense foliage and hid their traces.
"It's a great matchup. Senior Brother Xu, what would happen if we replaced the tiger just now with you and me?" Zhu Liuqing said.
"The strength of this group of monkeys is probably the same as that of a human monk entering the first and second layers of the Spirit Realm. Although they don't have magic weapons to help, they are numerous, and their attacks are tacitly coordinated. With the current strength of you and me, I'm afraid it's lucky to be able to get out. Xu Yang replied.
Zhu Liuqing nodded and said, "The indigo flame fireballs spit out by this group of bone monkeys are very similar to the spiritual power contained in the indigo flame fruit, and eighty percent of the fruit forest in front of them has indigo flame fruit. ”
"The route we plan to go forward is through this orchard, and if we take a detour, it will be delayed for a day, and this group of monkeys in front of us will be difficult to deal with. After speaking, Zhu Liuqing looked embarrassed.
Xu Yang pondered for a moment and replied, "I have seen this Flame Fruit in the classics of the sect, and this fruit only matures once in three years. In addition to refining the Ghost Dao Elixir, it is also very beneficial to the Ghost Dao Spirit Pet. Most of the Flame Tigers who had just come here were coming for this Flame Fruit. I just observed that although this tiger was defeated, it was not seriously damaged, and it is estimated that it will not give up easily. You and I might as well fix around here for a while, adjust to the best state, and then observe the development of the situation before making plans. ”
"It's up to the senior brother. After speaking, Zhu Liuqing nodded.
