The white-haired monkey was unlucky to meet Raymond.

Not only did he see that the fruit that had reached his mouth was gone, but his treasured long sword was also robbed, and now even its small body was about to become a test object for some unscrupulous plague doctor.

But for Raymond, it was a lucky day.

After the monkey was knocked unconscious, the flame streamer on the surface of the sword body also disappeared, showing a matte color of red all over. Start with a solid and warm temperature. When you look closely, a layer of dark lines like cherry blossoms faintly emerge on the blade. Probably because it had been left in the heat of the crater for too long, everything on the hilt of the sword was melted by the heat, and only the bare blade remained.

Raymond grasped the red long sword and glanced at the name of the sword, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

The name of this sword... He's heard it!

【Sakura】

Attack: 0-265

Comes with special effects:

[Flowing Fire] Fire attribute true qi is poured in, and if the sword is flowing with fire, it will have 15% additional burn damage;

【Sharp】Sharp+7;

[Destroy] Armor Piercing +2;

[Reverage] Penetrate +2;

Detailed explanation: the blade length is three feet six inches and four minutes, and the curvature is nine minutes; one of the two famous "frost fire" swords;

The cherry finch is a strange bird in the world of navigation that can breathe flames and fly extremely fast. This bird likes to fly at night, and when it soars, its tail feathers will sweep by, and it will condense a little bit of spark that will disappear in an instant, like a red streamer.

"It's actually this sword..."

Raymond didn't expect that the longsword was actually the famous weapon that had been missing in the game for many years.

This sword has a great origin, and it is a companion sword of "Frost Flower".

It is rumored that the first sword-casting master of the Black Sea, "Nagaiwa Shiro", got two pieces of extraterrestrial meteoric iron, one cold and one hot, and then found two ancient methods to cast swords, named "Frost Flower" and "Cherry Sparrow".

As soon as these two strange long swords appeared, they attracted many swordsmen to chase after them. They also represent the pinnacle of sword-forging skills in the Black Sea, known as the "Frost and Fire".

"Frostflower" changed hands several times and finally fell into the hands of the sword hero Sodros, but "Sakura" disappeared decades ago.

In the game, Raymond also received this headless and tailless sword-finding mission.

"I didn't expect this famous longsword that had been missing for so many years to fall into the crater, no wonder so many players in the game didn't find the sword to complete the task. Probably the treasure of the lava dragon's collection..."

Raymond was a little emotional, and when he saw this sword, he immediately thought of his deceased mentor.

"Frost Flower" has been annihilated with the blind old man two years ago, and the double will never be again, and there is only this "cherry bird" left in the world.

"Whether it's a coincidence, it's destined by providence. After today, you will turn the King of Tianlan upside down with me, and the name will be all over the Black Sea..."

He sighed inwardly, gently rubbing the crimson blade as if caressing his closest companion. These words seemed to resonate gently with this famous long sword, and the cherry blossom pattern on the sword body faintly flashed red for a moment.

I was worried that I didn't have a good sword to take advantage of, and now this [Sakura] is here, which can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.

Raymond put away the red sword and took out the vermilion fruit from the package.

If he was not mistaken, the system shows that the fruit should still have a corruption period.

Sure enough, this is still a spirit fruit that can be taken for a limited time.

【Fire Dragon Storm Fruit】

Corruption time: 472 seconds

Detailed explanation: Heaven and earth are precious, dragon's blood is watered, and the fire element forms the spiritual fruit of nourishment; After consumption, the upper limit of True Qi value is increased by +150* (10-Transcendent Rank); Each level below Sequence 5 increases the upper limit of True Qi by 300*Extraordinary Rank, and adaptively increases by 50% of the current upper limit of True Qi; True Qi is converted to Fire Attribute, and the attack has 5% Fire Elemental Burn Damage; Fire Resistance +10%; Continue to expand the eight veins, and the true qi operation speed is +(100-550)%; Limited to 1 serving; If you take a fire-attribute demonic beast, you have a chance to get bloodline advancement;

"The attribute of this fruit is so powerful!"

Raymond looked at the strange fruit in his hand that was the same shape as a ripe persimmon, and his eyes were full of light.

This thing is simply a treasure tailored for him!

I just said that the cultivation of True Qi Value is too slow and has shortcomings, and now this fruit has immediately made up for this huge shortcoming.

"This also means that if I take this fruit, I will immediately increase the upper limit of 1200 True Qi value... If you advance to Sequence 7, you can also increase the current true qi limit by 900+50%. Using the current minimum base of 2400, it will increase the true qi value by at least 2100 points. By the time of Sequence 7, my minimum True Qi ceiling would be nearly five thousand! ”

Raymond carefully looked at the attributes of the fruit, and roughly estimated in his heart how much True Qi value increase this thing could bring to him.

He had been cultivating normally for more than two years, and now he only had a total of 1,200 true qi value upper limit.

If you take this fruit, you will be able to double it immediately.

A fruit is worth years of penance, how can he not be surprised?

And the follow-up potential of the fruit is even more!

True Qi running speed will directly affect skill release speed, cooldown recovery time, movement speed... This is a very important hidden property!

The attribute of "expanding the eight veins" is simply like opening up the second veins of Ren Du, making the cultivation of true qi twice the result with half the effort.

Raymond's current qi veins are like a sheep's intestine path, and after swallowing this spirit fruit, he immediately became a broad avenue.

The highways have been repaired, and the exercises will soar to the sky. When the time comes, go to the Tianlan Royal Academy and get the high-level sword technique "Wind Sword Technique" left by Sodros, and the true qi value will not skyrocket?

During Sequence 8, he can also practice wildly, breaking through the upper limit of True Qi as much as possible, and when he advances to Sequence 7, his True Qi will skyrocket by an additional 50% like a snowball!

In this way, it is very likely that he will reach the threshold of 10,000+ true qi value of comprehending the "Six-armed Yama" in Sequence 7 and Sequence 6 at the latest!

It's just the difference between a motorcycle engine and a fighter engine in an instant!

Before, he was so embarrassed by [Rock Bear] White in the ruins, and he almost lost his life, not because of his skills, but more because of the gap in the amount of true qi caused by the gap in rank.

Now that I have taken this fruit, I really want to meet that transcendent person with professional restraint again, even if I can't beat it, I have the ability to protect myself!

"No wonder the dragon was dying with this fruit... In terms of the magnitude of the gain on the True Qi of the Transcendent, this 'Violent Qi Fruit' is comparable to the utility of ordinary Devil Fruits! ”

At this moment, Raymond smiled.

He felt that he had finally begun to break away from the hat of the non-chieftain, and that he was getting smoother and smoother on the path of the European Emperor.

Originally, I just stopped by the Nigel Volcano to try my luck... Unexpectedly, he teamed up with someone to explore a ruin, and he unearthed one of the eight temples of the Knicks, the "Mountain Turtle Temple", and also found the spirit fruit that had not had much hope in this crater, and even obtained a weapon "Sakuraku".

Of course, it also comes with an iron monkey of what may be a rare species.

"Sure enough, horses have no night grass and no fat, and people have no windfall and no wealth!"

At this moment, Raymond just sighed in his heart, and suddenly felt a slight tremor on the ground.

Looking down, the magma pool in the crater became more and more agitated, and the bubbles were boiling more and more turbulent.

This is a sign that the volcano is about to erupt and that the "volcanic turtle" will wake up.

He didn't dare to delay, swallowed the fruit in one gulp, bit it with his teeth, and his mouth was full of slurry, as if he was drinking a burning knife, and the juice ran all the way down his esophagus into his abdomen.

After a while, the whole body was hot and sweating slightly, and the fiery medicinal power began to slowly penetrate into the meridians.

Looking at it again, the upper limit of the True Qi value continued to skyrocket, and finally stopped at the astonishing value of 2400!

"I wanted to go and see if there were any other treasures hidden by the evil dragon below, but it seems that there is no time..."

Raymond estimated the time, didn't dare to delay at all, and turned around and rushed out of the crater.

He rushed to the boat, directly transformed into a demon form, rowed a boat at full speed to escape from the volcanic island. If it weren't for the fact that the wood pulp couldn't withstand too much force, it is estimated that this wooden boat would be able to float like a speedboat.

The movement of the boat was very loud, and a white wave was drawn on the surface of the sea.

Before the eruption, Raymond finally caught up with the Ilya siblings, who were rowing slowly.

He jumped on the boat and was surprised, "Huh? Why are you still here? ”

Ilya spread her hands and said unhurriedly: "Anyway, no matter how fast you row, you can't get out of this archipelago sea, so it's better to wait for you by the way." ”

“...”

Raymond listened to this girl's tone so relaxed, thinking that she should have a way to deal with it, and his heart slowly calmed down.

Raymond's demonic state was exposed, and it was this face that he had killed dozens of people in the Wind Wolf Mercenary Group before.

Matthew looked at his blue-faced fangs and looked a little stunned, and his expression was slightly unnatural.

He turned his eyes to look at the charred monkey that Raymond was twisting in his hand, and he was also very curious, and asked, "Huh... Brother Nicholas, where did you go to catch such a monkey and come back? ”

"I met it in the crater and brought it back."

As he spoke, Raymond slowly changed back into his human form and took a few big breaths.

In addition to the two brothers and sisters on the ship, there was also Captain Gree, who was lying like a gossamer. He had been punched in the chest by White, and the chain mail had been dented, and his chest was stained with blood. He was unconscious and looked badly injured.

Raymond glanced at it and didn't say much. He was worried that Gele's life would reveal some secrets, but with Elijah by his side, he naturally didn't need to worry about these things.

"It's actually an abyssal creature 'Fire Spirit Iron Bone Monkey'?"

Elijah was clearly more interested in the monkey than Matthew.

She looked at the fainted monkey over and over again, and naturally recognized the origin of the monkey, and said in surprise: "This abyssal species is not extinct yet." ”

After a pause, she showed a serious expression and asked, "Uncle, are you going to take this monkey back to eat?" ”

“...”

What kind of brain circuit is this girl?

Raymond's face twitched slightly, and he asked casually, "Is this monkey delicious?" ”

"Uh-huh! Super tasty..."

Ilya's eyes were full of anticipation, swallowing her saliva, and she said excitedly: "In the past, this was a top-notch ingredient offered to the gods, and it was a peerless delicacy... The monkey brain is steamed, the iron bones are simmered slowly, and they are crunchy! ”

Hearing her description, it made Raymond himself salivate.

And it just so happened that at this time,

The poor monkey's eyelids lifted slightly, as if to awaken from his coma.

But when he heard this, he immediately turned pale with fright and squeaked.

Oh my God, it's horrible!

I want to go back to the abyss, the human world is too terrifying!

"Bang!"

Before it could struggle and jump out of the boat, it was immediately hit with a solid stick on its head, and in an instant the world spun around, and it fainted again.

"Ouch, it's fainting again!"

Elijah grinned and poked the monkey's head with her finger, as if she had seen a fragrant charcoal-grilled black monkey.

Her foodie nature was faintly unbearable, and she was eager to try: "Uncle, why don't we find a place to stew a pot first?" In case it's really as delicious as the legend says... Slippery... You can't eat alone! ”

"I'll take it back to the doctor first, and see if it's useful..."

Raymond looked at this gluttonous girl and twitched helplessly. Her greedy appearance, where is the slightest bit of mystery from the high priest of Knicks?

Finally, he also compromised and muttered, "Hmm... In case it doesn't work, let's stew it! ”

As he spoke, a look of the same expectation flashed in Raymond's eyes.

What is the taste of the exquisite ingredients offered to the gods? If he remembered correctly, it seemed that such a dish was recorded in the [Recipe for Worshipping the Gods].

......

Hearing this,

Matthew glanced at his sister with a slightly strange expression, and after a while, he glanced at Raymond again.

He always felt that after the two of them came out of the ruins, they felt a lot closer. Even his own sister is closer to that Nicholas brother than to his own brother?

Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Elijah, did you and Brother Nicholas have something happen in the ruins?" Why do I think you're weird when you come out? ”

Ilya thought of what had happened in the temple, and an imperceptible look of shame flashed in her eyes.

She deliberately kept a straight face and muttered, "Brother! You'd better hold on to the boat, the volcano is about to erupt, and no one will save you if you fall into the sea! ”

As she spoke, she looked like she was protecting the treasure, pulling the monkey's arm, afraid that she would capsize the boat and run away in a while.

"Brother, my status... Not as good as a monkey? ”

Hearing this, Matthew's fat face shook, and he looked loveless.

Ilya said seriously: "Brother! Growing up, when did I find something to eat and didn't give it to you? How else can you be so fat? If this monkey is stewed, you will have your share, right?! ”

“...”

Matthew looked down at his shy belly and said quietly, "So, I should thank you?" ”

Seeing that the brother and sister loved and killed each other, Raymond also rubbed his eyebrows and smiled lightly.

At this time,

Suddenly, the surface of the sea stirred, as if there had been an earthquake on the bottom of the sea, and the tremor was getting stronger and stronger.

When I looked closely, black smoke suddenly billowed from the crater of Nigel in the distance.

Ilya excitedly pointed to the volcano and exclaimed, "Look, the volcano is about to erupt!" ”

As soon as the words fell,

There was a shocking bang, and the fiery red magma burst like a burst pipe, breaking through the sky.

After a while, the rich smell of sulfur in the air diffused, and the sky was like hail, and volcanic ash the size of soybeans poured down...

The birds in the dense forest of the island flew in fright, and all the giant sea beasts that were originally lurking at the bottom of the sea instinctively sensed the danger at this moment, and appeared in horror to flee the volcanic area...

Ilya exclaimed, "Brother, you hurry up! The big turtle is about to wake up... Uncle, you control the direction of the boat and row to the left, we have to avoid the island..."

The movement is getting louder and louder, at first it was just rolling like a tide, but now the sea is tilting to the naked eye! It was as if something huge was about to emerge from the sea, and the sea was receding in all directions, centered on Mount Nigel...

This small boat carrying four people and one monkey swayed with the waves in the huge waves, as if it was about to be overturned by the waves at any moment.

Raymond's heart was pounding.

Even the transcendent have an instinctive fear of such devastating disasters.

"Wow..."

Ilya at the bow of the boat screamed excitedly, her hair was blown by the wind, and the totem behind her neck was faintly shiny.

The boat slid down the waves like a roller coaster, and the boat fell nearly 90 degrees perpendicular to the sea level for nearly a kilometer.

"Bang~"

If it weren't for the last wave that suddenly appeared to cushion it, the boat would definitely be smashed to pieces by the waves.

Finally, the boat fell smoothly into the sea.

In the blink of an eye,

The giant tortoise, which had been sleeping for 10,000 years overhead, also slowly stood up.

The world saw it as it was.

"It's... That's an exaggeration! ”

Raymond was dumbfounded, not knowing how to describe his shocked mood at the moment.

It was the first time he had seen such a large creature with his own eyes, and the tall figure that covered the sky and the sun instantly blocked all the sunlight overhead. The four turtle legs resemble mountain peaks, each several miles in diameter. The turtle's back is lined with mountains, as if it has a barb. The majestic Nigel Volcano is still erupting...

Raymond looked at the mountain shape on the back of the giant tortoise, which was a little familiar.

In retrospect,

Isn't that what it looks like in the temple frescoes?
