Chapter 1969: Stealing Ghosts
The main industry in the Lingguo Valley is the cultivation of Lingguo Tomatoes, which are extremely sweet and precious Lingguo.
The spiritual power contained in a spirit tomato is enough to sustain the consumption of a Saint King master for a month, which is very precious. For monks who have not yet stepped into the realm of enlightenment, it is a rare and great supplement.
Moreover, the tomatoes are a peerless delicacy, and as soon as you take a bite, you will immediately be fascinated by the sweetness and juiciness of the tomatoes.
However, the cultivation of tomatoes is very complex and requires extremely careful and long cultivation.
It takes 160 years for tomatoes to grow seedlings and then ripen from sowing. In the past 160 years, the rootless dew has to be watered regularly and fixedly every day, and as long as there is no watering for one day, then the spirit tomato will wither the next day.
In addition, on weekdays, the spirit tomatoes must not be exposed to wind, frost and rain, and special enchantments must be used to protect them from the wind and rain. Otherwise, you will also die halfway.
If you think that as long as you persist in cultivating for 160 years and water rootless dew day and night, you will be able to harvest a steady stream of spirit tomatoes, then you are very wrong.
Because of the tomato, a plant will only produce three to five fruits, and when the fruit is ripe and falls to the ground, the plant will die immediately.
It can be seen that the acquisition of spirit tomatoes is very rare. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources.
Therefore, every spirit tomato, as long as it is auctioned, can easily set off a bidding boom and fetch a sky-high price.
In fact, the spiritual power and medicinal value contained in the spirit tomato are not rare in the world, and the spiritual power contained in many elixirs is comparable to it. But the reason why Lingguo persimmon can be sold at a sky-high price every time is because of its deliciousness.
The delicacy of the spirit tomatoes can only be appreciated by those who have really tasted them, and it is difficult for ordinary monks to comprehend the beauty of them even if they exhaust their imagination.
It can be said that the spirit tomato is a peerless delicacy, and its sweetness can instantly detonate the taste buds, making people feel like a fairy in the process of tasting the food. A spirit tomato can make people experience a wonderful taste journey.
This delicacy is irresistible even for monks who have tasted the deliciousness of time!
The orchard of the Spirit Fruit Valley, located in the northwest corner of the valley, has an intricate barrier where the spirit tomatoes are planted.
Usually, it was the Three Grain Lords and the Five Grain Lords who managed the orchard, and the idle people had no chance to get close to the Spirit Fruit Orchard, but now, the six Valley Masters of the Spirit Fruit Valley were all brutally killed by Shen Haojie. Therefore, this time the task of picking spirit tomatoes fell to the head of the chief steward Louie.
In fact, apart from the six valley masters, Louis has the highest seniority in the Lingguo Valley, and in the case that all the six valley masters have unfortunately died, it is a matter of course for him to control the right to speak.
With heavy and difficult steps, Louis reluctantly came to the front of the barrier in the northwest corner of the valley, stopped, looked up at the spirit orchard in front of him, and couldn't help but exhale a heavy breath.
In this orchard, the people of Lingguo Valley have poured countless efforts into it, and now they have finally reaped a bumper harvest, which was originally a gratifying thing. But the world is unpredictable, in a blink of an eye, the person in power in the Lingguo Valley has become Shen Haojie, and the spirit tomatoes carefully cultivated by the clansmen will also become a delicacy in Shen Haojie's mouth.
Although very unwilling, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and this world pays attention to the law of the jungle. If they dared to provoke Shen Haojie, they would immediately be in a different place.
For the sake of the lives of his clansmen, Louis could only give up the spirit tomatoes and willingly dedicate them to Shen Haojie.
"The Butler."
"Meet the Grand Steward."
At the entrance to the barrier, dozens of guards with solemn faces bowed to Louie.
"Can the spirit tomatoes be in good condition?" Louie asked.
"Chief Steward of Qiqi, a total of five hundred and sixty-eight spirit tomatoes, none of them is a lot."
The leading guard said respectfully.
"Okay."
Louis stroked his beard and nodded, "Open the enchantment, I will be ordered to pick spirit tomatoes and dedicate them to the new valley lord." ”
"Yes." Dozens of guards responded loudly and immediately began to activate the entrance to the barrier.
There was only a rumbling sound, and in a few moments, a round arch appeared in front of Louis.
Louis stepped into the enchantment, staring intently at the spirit tomatoes hanging on the plants that were tall enough to be a person, full of them, exuding a faint luster, and a refreshing fruity fragrance came to his face, and Louis's wrinkled face couldn't help but reveal a touch of pathos.
What a man's spiritual tomato, but he has to give it to others.
Wail!
Suddenly, a shrill and piercing cry was heard, and a bat, the size of a palm, flew quickly in the distance. The bat was so swift that it swooped into the barrier before the guards at the entrance of the barrier could react.
"Not good, there is an enemy attack!"
"Quick, Guardian Spirit Tomato!"
Dozens of guards noticed this, shouted angrily, each sacrificed his magic sword, and slaughtered into the orchard like crazy.
Wail!
The Night Demon escaped smoothly into the orchard, and without the slightest hesitation, he swooped down and swallowed a plump and sweet spirit tomato into his mouth.
Suddenly, an indescribably sweet delicacy filled the Night Demon's taste buds, making the Night Demon dance up and down the air with pleasure.
"It's a gluttonous bat!"
"Quick, let's join forces to kill it!"
Dozens of guards poured into the orchard, and at a glance they saw the Night Demon stealing food, and immediately shouted loudly that they were going to join forces to encircle and suppress the Night Demon.
"Wait!"
However, before the dozens of guards could make a move, Louis let out a low snort and stopped the dozens of guards who were about to move, "This bat, with the aura of an enlightened master, is a Saint King-level demon beast. Not a being that you can compete with. Besides, if a group of you fight in the orchard, it is easy to destroy the fruit trees. ”
"Steward, what do you say? Do you want to watch this bat steal our spirit tomatoes? ”
"Our Spirit Fruit Valley has now changed hands, and the new valley lord is extremely brutal, if he finds out that there are fewer spirit tomatoes we are guarding, I am afraid that his life will be in danger!"
The leader of the guard blushed with anxiety.
The dozens of guards behind him were also so anxious that they stomped their feet.
"Immediately send a man to inform the lord of the valley. The rest of the people will join me in picking the spirit tomatoes. Anyway, the tomatoes are ripe now, and if we can pick a little more, we will be able to keep some more. ”
Louis groaned and exhaled.
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the guards hurriedly rushed out of the barrier and flew towards the square in the middle of the valley.
The rest of the guards, led by Louis, were desperately picking spirit tomatoes.
For a while, dozens of figures shuttled back and forth in the orchard, rushing to pick spirit tomatoes, and they were busy.
Phew!
Suddenly, a green light escaped into the orchard, and it was a belated mist spirit fruit. Without anyone noticing, the Fog Spirit Fruit swooped down and directly inserted a pair of branches on the top into a plump spirit tomato, and suddenly, the originally crystal full spirit tomatoes quickly dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few breaths, a spirit tomato was swallowed.
Phew!
Tasting the delicious taste of the spirit tomato, the Fog Spirit Fruit became extremely excited, and it cheered and couldn't wait to pounce on the second spirit tomato.
