Chapter 86: I Met My Old Rival Again (Second Update, Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
As a 100,000-strong mountain, the Empty Immortal Mountain penetrates into the remnants of Cangshan Prefecture, and contains a lot of spiritual grass and spiritual fruits, which also makes the local warriors flock to it.
However, the Empty Styx Mountain was shrouded in miasma all the year round, and ordinary people did not dare to enter it at all, and only dared to set foot when the miasma dissipated.
But the days when the miasma dissipates are only about one week at most in a year. During this time, it was difficult for most martial artists to travel through the entire Void Immortal Mountain, and they could only select a part of the area purposefully.
As a result, it became a business to produce and sell maps of the Empty Mountains. An ordinary paper map can be exchanged for a yellow-level combat skill. For example, the jade slip with hints held by the Ji family is worth at least a Xuan-level low-grade combat skill. The jade slip in Huo Xiu's hand is more comprehensive, but the focus is different, and the value will be higher.
Of course, these jade slips are not necessarily unique, so there is a good chance that the person holding the jade slips will bump into each other and even fight over something.
Huo Xiu knew that the jade slip in his hand was the hall master of Zhao from the Zhenyuan branch of the Black Evil Gate, but he didn't know whether this jade slip was the only one.
In order to snatch the blood inducing fruit that the Ji family liked before, Huo Xiu had already wasted two days, plus the days delayed before he came, he now only had four days at most to seek the ice spirit fruit.
However, whether someone had already taken the lead and picked the Ice Spirit Fruit, Huo Xiu was not sure. Just in case, he had to speed up and run all the way to the cold pool where the Ice Spirit Fruit was located.
On the other side, there was already a team walking on the road to the cold pool.
If Huo Xiu was present, he would definitely be shocked, because the leader was no stranger to him, it was Yan Ruyu, a disciple of the Nanshan Sect, who had a conflict with him at the Demon Eradication Conference.
Yan Ruyu was now a Clutch Realm martial artist, and it stands to reason that there were very few spirit grass and spirit fruits in this Void Styx Mountain Range that could attract his attention.
But Yan Ruyu personally led a team to the Empty Styx Mountain, naturally with a purpose, and it was exactly the same as Huo Xiu's goal, it was the ice spirit fruit that grew in the cold pool in the depths of the Empty Styx Mountain.
For Yan Ruyu, these fruits were not used to improve the realm or increase the cold, but for his precious brother, Yan Rufeng, who was seriously injured by a red-eyed cub at the demon eradication conference.
Originally, with Yan Rufeng's strength, it was absolutely impossible to meet the red-eyed and fierce at the demon eradication conference. But unfortunately, in order to deal with Huo Xiu, Yan Ruyu hand-picked the red-eyed fox to be put in the ring.
Yan Ruyu had a wishful thinking before, hoping that Huo Xiu would lose both sides of the battle with the red-eyed in order to win the third battle. Subsequently, his younger brother Yan Rufeng came to power and reaped the fruits of victory.
I never thought that Huo Xiu would collapse at the touch of a button, and before he could take a few photos in front of the red-eyed fox, he was knocked out of the ring by one of them.
The martial artist who appeared behind Huo Xiu was Yan Ruyu's younger brother Yan Rufeng. According to the rules, Yan Rufeng must have a fight against the red-eyed stalk.
When Yan Ruyu saw this, she was dumbfounded, and she only hoped that her younger brother Yan Rufeng would be clever and not be confused by the red-eyed and ruthless.
But what Yan Ruyu didn't expect was that the red-eyed cub actually hid his strength, and after realizing that he couldn't keep up with Yan Rufeng's speed, he deliberately leaked out of the cover door, inducing Yan Rufeng to bully him forward, and suddenly spewed out a large mouthful of hot flames while he was not paying attention.
Seeing this, Yan Ruyu had no time to think about how this red-eyed cub could make such a move, so he could only take action immediately, hoping to save his younger brother.
But Yan Ruyu was too far away from the ring after all, even though he slightly blocked the attack of the red-eyed fox, but most of the blazing flames still sprayed towards his younger brother's back, making him almost lose his breath.
After that, although Yan Rufeng went through all the rescue, he was seriously injured after all, and after more than a month, he was still in a coma.
According to the doctor's explanation, Yan Rufeng was invaded by the hot poison, and he had to use the Ice Spirit Fruit to pull out the hot poison. However, the Ice Spirit Fruit cannot be cultivated, and it is only possible to find it in the 100,000 Great Mountains.
It happened that the miasma of the Empty Immortal Mountain had dissipated in the past few days, so Yan Ruyu spent a lot of money to buy a piece of jade slip with the location of the Ice Spirit Fruit recorded, and led his subordinates to hurry over.
However, the jade slip that Yan Ruyu bought was very simple, although it marked the location of four or five possible ice spirit fruits, it was not entirely correct, and even the path to there was not accurate.
In this way, Yan Ruyu and they walked around in the Empty Styx Mountain for three days, and walked through most of the positions, but they all fell into the air, leaving only the deepest cold pool.
By this time, it was already getting dark.
Seeing this, the guards on the side immediately stepped forward.
"Young master, it's going to get dark soon, let's quickly find a safe place to set up our tents. ”
Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows and said unhappily: "We have been in the Empty Styx Mountain for three full days, but we still have nothing to gain, I really have no intention of resting." ”
The guard approached and whispered, "Young Master, we have reached the deepest part of the Empty Immortal Mountain, where there is no peace at night, and there are many poisonous insects and beasts. Besides, the last location is very secretive and inaccessible, and even if you hold a map, you may not be able to touch it. ”
Yan Ruyu knew that with his strength, it would be no problem to encounter any beast in the Empty Underworld Mountain. But he couldn't stand the huge number of opponents, and once he attacked them in groups, he could only flee in the wilderness.
Besides, the night is the time when these poisonous insects and beasts are infested. If you force your way at this time, and without accurate guidance, it is easy to strayed into the lair of the beast, and it will be even more troublesome.
If you want to blame, you can only blame him for not being able to buy a more detailed map, so he can only use this abbreviated version to make up the numbers.
Yan Ruyu frowned tightly and sighed, then nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, the guards on the side immediately found a place next to the stream, cleared the clearing, and pitched their tents.
By this time, it was completely dark. After Yan Ruyu and the others had dinner, the guard beside them said with a smile: "Young master, you can go into the tent and rest." Tonight, we'll take turns to keep you safe. ”
Yan Ruyu waved her hand and said, "No, I will be on duty tonight, and I will send someone to replace me after an hour." ”
Yan Ruyu said, walked to the campfire, sat down cross-legged, and seemed to be thinking about tomorrow's itinerary.
Seeing this, everyone had to compliment a few words, turned around and returned to the tent to rest.
In the distance, Huo Xian was carefully bypassing the area infested by wild beasts according to the prompt of the white jade slip.
Suddenly, Huo Xiu spotted the light of fire in front of him, and quickly climbed onto the canopy of a big tree and looked around.
I saw the corners of Huo Xiu's mouth raised, and he couldn't help laughing, he ran into an old acquaintance again.
