Chapter 12: The Plum Fruit
The speed of Xiaobai was very fast, and the leaves were in the light mask, but they didn't feel uncomfortable, only to see the grass, trees, mountains and rocks on both sides constantly "swishing" backwards and falling backwards.
"Third Brother Fan, how can Xiao Bai's speed be so fast?"
Fan Wenbai smiled, "Xiao Bai is a Colorful Tiger in the late second-order stage, the Colorful Tiger is famous for its speed, and its body is delicate, and the speed and sensitivity of other second-order demon beasts are not as good as it. ”
Ye Zi nodded, "No wonder." ”
"I also have a relationship with it, half a year ago I went to Nanfengling in the east of Sifang City to do a mission, and I happened to meet the dying Xiao Bai, it seems that he just fought with a late second-order gale leopard, and the speed of the gale leopard is also quite fast, but he still died under Xiao Bai's claws."
Ye Zi probably understood as soon as he heard it, "So Third Brother Fan, you saved Xiaobai?" ”
Fan Wenbai chuckled: "How can it be so easy? A strange second-order fierce beast, if I wasn't injured, I wouldn't be able to fight it at all, how dare I rush to the rescue? ”
Speaking of this, Fan Wenbai also smiled a little embarrassedly, "At that time, I was very surprised to see the dying Xiaobai and the dead Gale Leopard, the materials on their bodies are very valuable. This is considered to be picked up for nothing, and it takes no effort. ”
At this time, several strange sounds came out of the throat of Xiao Bai, who was running, as if to express some dissatisfaction.
Fan Wenbai couldn't help but smile and patted Xiao Bai's head.
"What's wrong with it?" "It doesn't want me to say any more." Fan Wenbai laughed.
This big tiger can still express his wishes? It's amazing, too!
Ye Zi couldn't help but fantasize that he would also find such a spiritual demon beast to contract in the future, and if he was bored, he could still talk to it, which was a grade higher than raising a modern pet dog.
Fan Wenbai continued, "I first collected the materials on the Gale Leopard and burned the body. When I looked at Xiaobai again, I found that there were tears in its eyes. You must know that demon beasts do not have the seven emotions and six desires like humans, let alone tears. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Bai snorted a little unnaturally, and Fan Wenbai smiled and ignored it.
"I went up and touched its head, and when I saw that its eyes were full of sorrow and despair, I couldn't bear it, and I couldn't help but kill it. I hesitated for a moment, thinking that I didn't have a contract beast yet, and if I could contract the next Colorful Tiger, it would be a good choice. ”
When Ye Zi heard this, how could he not understand, "So you made it a contract?" ”
"If you want to contract it, you need its own consent, and you need to be willing to contract with me."
Ye Zi nodded thoughtfully, "Oh." ”
Fan Wenbai continued to recall, "In the end, Xiaobai reached a contract with me and became my contract beast. ”
Ye Zi then understood why Xiaobai had made a fuss when he heard Fan Sange talk about the past just now.
Demon beasts are born ferocious, and it is their nature to be fierce and aggressive, if people know that they are demon beasts, they actually cry when they are dying, it is indeed a very shameful thing, right?
Thinking of this, Ye Zi couldn't help laughing, causing Xiao Bai to keep letting out a low roar during the run.
"Hahaha......"
By this time, it was almost noon.
"Let's rest for two hours before we go, I need to breathe."
"Yes."
Only then did Ye Zi notice that the light emitted by the talisman mask had faded a lot, as if it would dissipate at any time.
Without any more prompting from Fan Wenbai, Xiao Bai had already taken the initiative to slow down, and finally stopped in the shade of a tree.
Ye Zi couldn't help but be full of admiration, he was so sensible and caring, when would he have such a contract beast.
Fan Wenbai didn't say anything, and directly crossed his legs to breathe, Ye Zi only felt his stomach rumbling in protest.
Ye Zi didn't eat in the morning, but on the way, he kept listening to Fan Wenbai talk about the things in the immortal world, and he was excited, and he didn't feel hungry. But when I stopped, I felt that I was hungry enough to eat a cow.
Looking around, it was full of trees and grass, and there was nothing to eat. Although there are steamed buns in the baggage, after a day and a night, they have long been as hard as stones, and Ye Zi feels unappetizing when he thinks about it.
There are so many trees on this mountain, there must be some wild fruits or something, isn't that what is written in the novel?
Thinking of this, Ye Zi stood up gently and walked towards a small path next to him.
Xiao Bai, who was lying on the ground and resting with his eyes closed, heard the movement, lifted his eyelids and looked at the back of the leaf, and fell down again.
It was noon, the light was abundant, and the woods did not feel gloomy, and the leaves did not dare to go too far, for fear that they would get lost, and kept the route firmly in mind as they walked.
I don't know if it's because the leaves are lucky, or if there are really many fruit trees in this forest, and within a few minutes of the leaves, I saw a wild plum tree full of fruit.
On a straight stem, at the top of which are split branches, covered with yellow-green plum fruits.
"It looks like it's ripe, and now it's time to eat!"
This is the first time I have seen a real wild fruit tree, Ye walked quickly to the fruit tree, raised his head to look, only to see that although the tree is not big, but it bears a lot of fruit, and every branch is bent.
Some of the branches are very low, and the leaves can be picked by tiptoeing slightly.
"Well, it's pretty sweet."
Ye Zi reached out and picked a plum the size of a pigeon's egg, and didn't care about wiping the dust, so he quickly took a bite, and his mouth was full of sweet and sour juice.
Almost devouring the plum, the leaf quickly picked all the places within his reach.
"Leave those to future generations, and you can't be too greedy."
Ye Zi looked at the wild plum at the top of the tree, smacked his lips and muttered to himself.
Of course, the truth is that the leaves are out of reach, and the tree is so straight and thin that people can't climb it, and if the leaves are forced to be picked, unless all the branches on it are broken.
looked at the almost ten catties of wild plums in his robe, and Ye Zi turned back the way he came.
Soon returned to the resting place, Xiao Bai heard the movement, raised his eyes again, and then continued to lie on his stomach.
Ye Zi sat in the old position, packed all the wild plums into the baggage, and carried it on his back, which was quite heavy.
After eating four or five plums in a row, Ye Zi finally felt a little bottom in his stomach, but he was still very hungry and wanted to eat meat.
I didn't expect the fruits in this world to be so delicious, and the dates picked in Xiaoguancun before were also quite sweet, even the wild plums were so sweet. In modern times, even the artificially carefully cultivated big red plum is inevitably very sour.
While thinking about it, Ye Zi ate several more, only to stop until his stomach rose a little.
Looking at Fan Wenbai, who was still pranayama on the opposite side, Ye Zi was just about to sleep, but there were bursts of footsteps and the sound of men talking in the woods next to him.
Ye Zi was shocked, and hurriedly glanced at Fan Wenbai, and found that the other party had also opened his eyes, so he put his heart back in place.
In this remote and quiet woods, it is quite surprising that strangers suddenly appear.
Thinking so, Ye Zi looked for the sound, and after a while, he saw three men in robes and combs walking towards him.
Looking at the momentum emanating from the three of them, and the Qiankun bag hanging from their waists, Ye Zi guessed that the other party should also be a monk.
"Hahaha, I'll just say, there are people in front of here, you two brothers still don't believe it!"
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, with a round face and small eyes, and a little cunning. The two in the back look ordinary, almost in their thirties.
Before Ye Zi could take a closer look at the other two, this person had already turned around, and when he saw Ye Zi and the two of them, he was suddenly stunned, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother Fan! ”
Ye Zi was stunned, did he meet an acquaintance?
Fan Wenbai was also stunned, and finally laughed.
"It turned out to be Fan Daoyou, and it was really fate."
It was one of the other two who spoke, and the other nodded in agreement, a smile on his face.
Fan Wenbai stood up and saluted the three of them, "Brother Wan, Guang Daoyou, Yucheng Daoyou, fortunately." ”
Ye Zi didn't know these people either, so he could only sit on the sidelines, watching them noisy, and secretly thinking in his heart, he would have to deal with people like this in the future?
"Haha. Fortunately, Fan Daoyou is too polite! ”
The man who spoke was the one who was known as the Light Daoyou, and the other person who stood there also nodded in salute.
These three people are named Wan Peng, Wu Guang, and Wu Yucheng, and they are all loose cultivators whom Fan Wenbai met in Sifang City. Wan Peng is a member of the Sifang City Scattered Cultivation Alliance, and the other two are casual cultivators like Fan Wenbai.
Only then did the three of them notice that Ye Zi was sitting on the side, and Wan Peng couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "This is?" ”
Of course, Wan Peng, Wu Guang, and Wu Yucheng saw that Ye Zi was just a mortal woman, and they couldn't help but be very curious on their faces, how could Fan Wenbai bring a mortal woman with them.
Although Ye Zi was wearing men's clothes, the men were women, and these monks knew at a glance that they couldn't hide them at all. The three of them looked at Ye Zi's delicate and fair skin and delicate face again, and suddenly understood in their hearts.
"This is my worldly sister, who went with me to the city of the Four Directions." Fan Wenbai hurriedly explained.
Ye Zi's heart froze, and he understood why Fan Sange said his true gender, it should be that his outfit couldn't hide from the monk's eyes, right?
When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and Wan Peng smiled a little meaningfully, "Brother Fan's blessing is not shallow, hehe." ”
"That's it." Wu Guang complied with his eyebrows.
Ye Zi's face couldn't help but burn, after all, she was a woman, and the three big men were so straightforward in front of each other, Ye Zi felt a little uncomfortable.
Fan Wenbai glanced at Ye Zi's expression and understood.
"Hehe, the three of them laughed. I don't know where Brother Wan and the two Wu Daoyou want to go, how did they pass by here? ”
Speaking of business, Wan Peng sighed, "Hey, it's not for the task, I want to find a Breitling plum fruit, I heard that it's just here, but I haven't found it for a long time." ”
When Ye Zi heard this, his heart couldn't help but move, Ling Li Guo? Could it be the fruit I just picked? Do you want to say it yourself?
Ye Zi selfishly didn't want to hand over the wild fruits he had picked with great difficulty, but when he thought that these three people were also friends of Fan Sange, Ye Zi decided to tell them the location of the fruit tree.
This can be regarded as an indirect help to Third Brother Fan.
"Is it a yellow-green fruit?" Ye Zi asked softly.
"Little girl, you know?" Wan Peng hurriedly looked at the leaves.
Ye Zi nodded, "It's over there, I was thirsty just now, so I went to pick a few to eat, it's quite sweet." ”
"Hahaha! Of course, it was a spirit fruit, the main medicine used to refine the Qi Wisdom Heart Pill. Wan Peng immediately laughed.
Fan Wenbai looked at Ye Zi with some surprise, he had been pranayama just now, and he didn't notice the movement around him, but he didn't know that Ye Zi had left quietly.
The monk known as the Light Dao Friend looked at Ye Zi with a very strange look in his eyes for a long time, "You are just a mortal, how can you eat several Spirit Plum Fruits without any discomfort?" ”
Hearing this, everyone reflected that the spiritual energy in the Lingli fruit contained a lot of energy, and three fruits could refine a whole furnace of elixir, even if it was a monk, eating one would generally be worth a day's spiritual power, and it would take at least half an hour to guide this spiritual power into the dantian.
But how could such a mortal little woman on the other side eat several without any difference?
Ye Zi was also shocked in his heart, according to this, he was likely to die because of the excessive spiritual power of the spirit fruit he ate as written in the book?
Thinking of this, Ye Zi's face couldn't help but turn white, and his heart was pounding, he had eaten for half an hour, and he didn't feel anything strange in his body?
Thinking of this, Ye Zi's hanging heart was lowered a little, it should be fine, maybe that tree is not the spirit plum fruit they are looking for.
"I, I just ate a few very small ones because I couldn't reach them, the trees were too tall." Ye Zi said cautiously.
Wan Peng couldn't help but nodded, "Yes, the Lingli Fruit is only a tree pole in its whole body." It seems that this girl has indeed met Ling Li Guo. ”
Speaking of this, the faces of the three of them showed a touch of joy, "Oh, I finally found it, we have been in this mountain forest for several days!" Wu Yucheng hurriedly sighed.
"Can the girl show me the way?"
Ye Zi nodded hurriedly, I wish I could take them there quickly, and if I picked the spirit plum fruit, they wouldn't pursue the abnormalities on me anymore, right?
In fact, Ye Zi had a faint premonition in his heart, he might have some secrets that he didn't know?
That plum fruit was not accidentally discovered by the leaf. Ye felt a strange pull and led himself there, Ye Zi didn't think much about it at the time, and he had forgotten about it afterwards.
But now that he was asked by these people, Ye Zi felt very curious in his heart.
Thinking that I was inexplicably transported into this world, there must be something strange that caused it, so what is it?
Ye Zi felt like a cat's paw scratching in his heart, a little itchy, and a little flustered.
Ye Zi took a few people to the place where they picked the fruit, and when the three of them saw it, they exclaimed, "Sure enough! Thank you, girl. ”
The three of them hurriedly thanked Ye Zi, and then couldn't wait to step forward to pick the spirit plum fruit.
"Wait." Fan Wenbai hurriedly called the three of them.
