Chapter Seventy-Five: Completing the Upgrade
The Monkey King stepped forward and directly plucked the spirit fruit, regardless of whether it was completely ripe or not.
The hundred kinds of spirit fruits required for lark fruit wine, even if they are not yet ripe, can be used as raw materials for brewing, and there is not much difference, so it makes no difference whether it is ripe or not.
The group of monkeys cheered victory around the Monkey King, and only Qin Ming's gaze fell on the remaining long grass.
Generally speaking, when the spirit fruit is picked, the long grass will return to the ordinary, until the spirit fruit grows again.
But now, Qin Ming sensed that the residual aura in this long grass had not immediately dispersed.
After thinking about it, Qin Ming went over and directly pulled up this long grass and stuffed it into his mouth.
Don't waste it, the Monkey King picked the spirit fruit to make wine, he didn't have any idea about it, but since the Monkey King didn't like this spirit grass, he laughed at it.
"Huh?" After this spirit grass was down, he immediately noticed something unusual.
It was a little more scorching than the effect he usually had after eating the spirit grass.
"This is the fire element?" Qin Ming was taken aback.
After he ate it, he realized that there was still a slight remnant of the fire element in the aura contained in this spirit grass.
Thinking about it, this fire element was originally the growth element needed by the spirit fruit, but it was picked up by the Monkey King before it was fully ripe, so there were only sporadic remnants of the fire element left in the spirit grass.
Fortunately, it didn't cause any damage to Qin Ming's body, on the contrary, with these fire elements, Qin Ming's monkey body was better tempered this time.
This was an unexpected gain, and the bottleneck that had been suppressing Qin Ming's evolution had also been further loosened this time.
"Finally!" Qin Ming's heart was overjoyed, these days he was constantly looking for heaven and earth treasures, and finally, this spirit grass seemed to have become the last straw for his breakthrough success.
The aura accumulated in the body exploded in full force at this moment, rushing straight to the bottleneck.
It seems that the bottleneck is broken, and there are no more limits.
He became a third-order high-grade spirit, and the aura that broke through the restrictions then spread throughout his body, completing the final refining of his body.
When the breakthrough was over, Qin Ming found that the white-armed monkeys around him who were still cheering all looked at him.
Even the Monkey King was no exception.
They all seemed to be shocked by the aura fluctuations generated when he broke through, and the scene that was originally quite boiling became much quieter.
The Monkey King withdrew his gaze and returned to the top of the monitor lizard's head to return to Monkey Mountain.
The rest of the white-armed monkeys immediately jumped up and followed their monkey king, and didn't pay any attention to Qin Ming.
Many of them were already at the realm of the third-order upper grade, and Qin Ming's breakthrough now was nothing more than the same as the realm of their group of elite monkeys, which was not unusual.
Compared with his breakthrough, it is obvious that defeating the leader of the plate and winning the spirit fruit is more worthy of joy and attention.
Qin Ming scratched his face, the black mark that had been corroded by the poisonous frog before had fallen off in the body refining after his breakthrough this time, and it had returned to its previous appearance.
Physically, the other scars left by the battle have also been repaired, which is a good thing.
Not only that, but the most important thing is that his physical strength has risen to a whole new height, and his combat power has naturally increased significantly.
Looking at the slender figure on the monitor lizard leading the monkeys forward, Qin Ming wanted to challenge a wave, but he felt that it was not the time yet.
At least wait until the task of lark fruit wine is completed, and then he will consider challenging the Monkey King.
After all, if the challenge fails, I don't know what the consequences of waiting for him are, and it is possible to completely tear his face with the Monkey King and be killed on the spot.
In Qin Ming's plan, he put the task of challenging the Monkey King at the end, the success of the challenge is the best, and the failure of the challenge is a big deal to lower the final reward score.
And before that, he had to do what he had to do.
Halfway up the mountain, the monkeys of other races did not flee in a hurry when they saw the Monkey King, but shrank their heads and fell to the ground until the Monkey King's team was far away.
At this moment, a huge roar came from somewhere down the mountain, and a huge wave rolled like thunder.
A large number of birds and beasts were frightened by this roar and fled in all directions.
Qin Ming was also taken aback, and even the Monkey King, who was walking in the front, looked back at the forest below the mountain for the first time, his eyes shining with essence.
What kind of spirit can make such an earth-shattering roar, I don't want to guess and know that the owner of the voice must be extremely powerful.
The Monkey King turned around and looked around for more than ten minutes without moving, there was no spirit in this area worthy of his attention, and the owner who let out that loud roar was likely to be a foreign spirit.
After a loud roar, there was no follow-up movement down the mountain, only the birds in the forest were still flapping their wings and flying away.
After a long time, the monkey king withdrew his gaze and led the team back to his residence.
Maybe the foreign spirit just passed through here, and didn't plan to stay long, and I believe that after a while, it will leave on its own.
After all, there are no treasures to be born here, and it is worth letting the powerful spirits stay and fight for them.
After three consecutive days, perhaps it was close to the completion of the lark fruit wine, and the Monkey King couldn't wait any longer, and the number of teams dispatched every day increased from one to five.
The efficiency of the search has become much higher, but in the past three days, I have only found a spirit fruit, which I have obtained before, and it is useless, and it was rewarded by the Monkey King to an old monkey.
Qin Ming was also very anxious, this was already the eighth day, and there were still eight spirit fruits left.
At this pace, he would probably not be able to assist the Monkey King in collecting a hundred spirit fruits in a month's time.
After thinking about it, he suggested to the Monkey King to expand the scope of his search.
The forest under the mountain has been scavenged by them for so long, and there are naturally fewer and fewer spirit fruits growing, and there is a high probability that the varieties will be repeated.
Instead of this, it is better to let the search team go farther to find the spirit fruit, there is no need to come back in one day, it can be two days or three days to come back.
In the end, the Monkey King adopted Qin Ming's suggestion.
Five teams set off in different directions.
Three days later, they had brought back five spirit fruits, two of which were duplicates, and the remaining three were usable.
The efficiency of collecting has indeed improved significantly, but correspondingly, leaving one's village and going to an unfamiliar place has increased the danger of encountering it.
Each team had more or less elite monkeys killed, and the five teams together killed more than a dozen third-order elite monkeys in such a trip, and many of the rest were injured.
For the entire race, although such a loss is not painful, it is not light.
There will be white-armed monkeys in the tribe who wonder why the search party has taken so long to come back now, and they are all scarred.
But the Monkey King has always been very resolute in dispatching a search team, even if any of his clansmen will be killed.
Its desire to make Bailing Fruit Wine successfully was no less than Qin Ming's.
Qin Ming could clearly feel that the Monkey King was as eager as himself, but why was that?
He was a little puzzled.
