Chapter 24 Exchange
Zhu Liuqing asked, "Senior brother, can I feel that the power of the Netherworld in this Ghost Howling Land is much stronger than outside, and there is a sinister aura mixed in it. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"That's true. According to the classics of the sect, the land of ghost roaring is not suitable for ordinary monks to cultivate. If you inhale too much evil qi in your body, you can easily be ghosted, lose your mind, and become like a zombie. ”
The two of them rested with their knees crossed, and after half an hour, most of the fatigue from rushing before disappeared.
Xu Yang stood up and looked in the direction of the Spirit Fruit Forest in the distance, but did not find any fluctuations in abnormal spiritual power. It seems that the flame tiger that escaped just now did not come back. Xu Yang gently patted the spirit pet bag with his left hand, and a golden sable jumped out, which was Xu Yang's spirit pet "Peach".
"Pan Tao" jumped on Xu Yang's arm and squeaked twice. It seems to be venting his frustration with putting himself in the pouch of the spirit pet.
Xu Yang took out a small storage bag, opened it and took out a few red spirit fruits. handed one of them to Zhu Liuqing and said, "It's hot, let's eat a fruit to cool off." ”
Zhu Liuqing took the fruit with a smile and said, "Thank you." ”
He threw another fruit to the "peach".
"Peach" deftly grasped the fruit, held the spirit fruit with two front paws, and couldn't wait to eat it, the abundant juice overflowed along the corners of the mouth, and an intoxicating fruity fragrance emanated. After a while, a red fragrant fruit turned into a pit and was thrown to the ground. After eating a full four, "Peach" patted his stomach before stopping.
"I have something I want you to help me with. Xu Yang touched the fluffy little head of "Peach" with one hand and said.
"Peach" nodded his little head knowingly.
"We're going to go into the col ahead now and pick a spirit fruit called the Flame Fruit that grows inside. But there is still a group of bone-faced monkeys in the orchard. You are small and flexible, not easy to be spotted, I want you to go to the other side to investigate the reality first, with your speed, the bone-faced monkey should not be able to help you. In case of danger, rush back. Xu Yang said, and took out the page with the flame fruit painted on the spirit sketch atlas issued by the sect and showed it to "Pan Tao".
"Pan Tao" raised his delicate little palm and patted it twice on his chest, as if to say, "Wrap it on me." Then he swooped into the grass on the ground and disappeared in the direction of the orchard.
"Senior Brother Xu, your ferret is so cute. Zhu Liuqing said with a look of affection.
"Let's wait here for a while, and then we can figure out the situation of the bone-faced monkeys in the fruit forest, and then we will make the next step. ”
The two of them quietly looked in the direction of the fruit forest.
After a pillar of incense, he didn't see the "peach" come back, and Xu Yang was a little anxious. It stands to reason that the time for a stick of incense is enough for "peaches" to go back and forth to the fruit forest. At this moment, there was a strange movement in the grass in front of him, revealing a small hairy head, which was "Peach".
Seeing the safe return of "Pan Tao", Xu Yang smiled, stretched out his arm, and "Pan Tao" jumped onto his arm.
Although "Pan Tao" did not recognize the master, the communication with Xu Yang's divine consciousness was extremely smooth.
The "Peach" bear stood on Xu Yang's arm, his two front paws swinging non-stop, and his mouth squeaked.
Xu Yang looked at "Pan Tao" intently, and the expression on his face was slightly solemn. When "Pan Tao" quieted down, Xu Yang touched the head of "Pan Tao" and said, "Good job." ”
Xu Yang turned his head to Zhu Liuqing and said, "There are indeed flame fruit trees in the orchard ahead, but the fruits on the trees have been picked by those bone-faced monkeys, and only some are not ripe. The fruit is hidden in a hidden cave by the Bone Monkeys, but there are a large number of Bone Monkeys waiting near the cave. ”
"Little one, hard work. Zhu Liuqing touched the little head of "Peach", and she also liked this little beast quite a lot.
"The Flame Fruit is hidden in a cave by the monkeys, and it is even more difficult to obtain. At present, the number of bony monkeys in the orchard is small, and we can take the opportunity to walk through the orchard. It seems that we can only give up the flame fruit for the time being, and move forward by the road first. Zhu Liuqing said.
"Without further ado, let's hurry up. ”
Under the guidance of "Pan Tao", the two dived in the direction of the fruit forest.
After a while, two people and one beast came to the fruit forest.
"Be careful below, try not to be discovered by the bone-faced monkey and cause unnecessary trouble. I have here some "Soul Powder" that I bought from the Fang Market to help us hide some of our whereabouts. After speaking, Xu Yang took out a packet of white powder and sprinkled a small amount on the clothes of the two.
In the orchard.
Xu Yang looked up and said, "There are no ripe fruits on the tree anymore, and the rest are green fruits with no value." Speaking of which, this group of monkeys is quite intelligent. ”
Suddenly, there was a rustle of leaves in the woods.
Immediately afterward, I heard only a strange squeak. I don't know where a bony monkey jumped out, standing abruptly on the branch of a big tree in front of him, staring at the two of them.
The bony-faced monkey opened its mouth, revealing its sharp canine teeth, and tapped its two hands on its chest a few times, as if to warn the two.
"These monkeys are really a headache. Zhu Liuqing shook her head helplessly. But he didn't dare to slack off, and with a flip of his right hand, a silver scimitar more than two feet long and small appeared in his right hand, and the blade was cold.
Xu Yang also had an extra cone in his hand.
The bone-faced monkey saw that the two of them were not good, and kept whining. In a short time, seven or eight skeletal monkeys had gathered from the forest.
The two sides are tense and the battle is on the verge of breaking out.
At this moment, the "peach" made a squeaky sound. Unlike in the past, when he encountered a strong enemy, there was no trace of war intent in his shouting.
I saw that "Pan Tao" jumped a few times and came to the tree where the bone-faced monkey was.
The bear stood and squeaked at the monkeys in the trees.
I don't know why, but the monkeys in the trees are not hostile to the "peach". One of them also squeaked and barked at the "peach".
Then, one of the bone-faced monkeys ran away, and in a short time, the leader of the bone-faced monkeys and more than twenty bone-faced monkeys appeared in front of Xu Yang and the others.
"Pan Tao" squeaked at the bone-faced monkey leader again. The Bony Monkey Leader made a whining sound as he gestured with both hands.
Through the communication with the "Pan Tao" divine consciousness, Xu Yang also knew a seven, seven, eighty, eight.
"Senior Brother Xu, your spirit beast is so cute, you can also talk to monkeys. After seeing the dialogue between "Pan Tao" and the monkey leader, Zhu Liuqing said in admiration.
"I don't know much about this, probably spirit beasts have their own unique way of communicating. The monkey leader said just now that we can borrow the Dao Fruit Forest, but we have to give it a gift. Xu Yang turned his head to Zhu Liuqing and said.
"This monkey is too shrewd to put away the money to buy the road. Zhu Liuqing pursed her lips and said.
Xu Yang took out a small storage bag, took a few steps forward, opened the mouth of the storage bag, took out seven or eight red fragrant fruits from it and put them in the open space. Then, he said loudly to the bone-faced monkey leader on the tree, "Lord Chief, we just want to borrow the road to cross, and these red fragrant fruits are a gift for you." With that, he turned around and walked back into the distance.
Seeing this, the monkey leader on the tree waved his hand, and the two bone-faced monkeys beside him jumped down and came to the place where the red fragrant fruit was placed. In three or two clicks, he took the red fragrant fruit on the ground, and then quickly returned to the tree and handed one of the red fragrant fruits to the monkey leader.
The monkey leader took the red fragrant fruit, sniffed it with his nose, and then took a bite of it. The aroma of the flesh overflowed during the chewing, making the monkeys on the side swallow saliva when they saw it.
In a moment, the monkey leader finished eating the red fragrant fruit and spit out a kernel. Then he whined at "Peach" a few times.
"Senior sister, this monkey leader has agreed to let us borrow the Lu Jing Flame Fruit Forest. ”
"That's great, this monkey leader won't set up an ambush to rob us halfway, right? ”
"Maybe it would be at another time, but it shouldn't be at this time, now the Flame Tiger is their real opponent, if they fight with us and lose both, then the Flame Tiger will kill the horse pistol, and in the end, this group of monkeys will also suffer." ”
"That's true, but it's a pity that you can't take a few Flame Fruits. ”
Hearing Zhu Liuqing say this, Xu Yang thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible, I can exchange the remaining red fragrant fruits with them." After speaking, Xu Yang muttered a few words to "Pan Tao".
"Pan Tao" squeaked and chatted with the monkey leader again.
I saw that the monkey leader on the tree thought for a moment, and after letting out a whining sound, he pointed to a large rock protruding from the mountainside in the distance.
After Xu Yang communicated with Pan Tao's divine sense, he turned his head to Zhu Liuqing and said, "This monkey leader said that he agreed that we would exchange the spirit fruit just now with them for the flame fruit, but there is one condition, we must have a competition with them, and if we win, we will agree to exchange." If they lose, we will have to give them twice the amount of red fragrant fruit just now, and we won't be able to get the Flame Fruit. Xu Yang said.
"This monkey is not only smart, but simply cunning. This is to take your red fragrant fruit for nothing and not give it to the flame fruit. I don't know what the content of the competition is. ”
Xu Yang pointed with his hand to a protruding boulder on the distant mountainside that the monkey leader had just indicated. said: "The content of the competition they proposed is to start from here to see who reaches the big rock on the mountainside first, and wins two out of three games." They will send three of their fastest monkeys, and on our side are you and me and my spirit animal "Peach" to participate in the competition. ”
"I see. After that, Zhu Liuqing rolled her eyes, and then approached Xu Yang and whispered a few words in her ear.
After hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Xu Yang's mouth and said, "That's it." ”
