Chapter 4 Digging Pits
The three-foot-tall plant is purple throughout, with nine thin leaves curled and coiled, like nine layers of auspicious clouds, and at the top is a jade ruyi-shaped fruit that is as clear as dewdrops, exuding a rich starlight.
It's indeed wishful thinking, and you can't go wrong!
Ever since he awakened the Waste Material Star Soul, Tang Chen had specialized in studying the Ruyi Fruit, not only about its appearance, but also about its growth habits, so he naturally wouldn't admit it.
It's just that what puzzled him was that such a treasure of heaven and earth as the Ruyi Fruit could only grow in a treasure land with particularly strong star power, how could it appear in a place where star power was so scarce? This was completely unreasonable, and it could be seen that what was said in the book was not necessarily correct.
At this time, Tang Chen didn't think too much about this, his mind was almost occupied by the wishful fruit, this was the only star medicine in the world that could improve the talent of the star soul, it was the treasure that he was determined to get, when he thought that his life would be completely changed because of this wishful fruit, his heart was like a red-hot soldering iron, extremely hot, making his blood boil.
Fortunately, he had not lost his mind, and the tiger rhinoceros entrenched in front of him was like a stream of ice, which immediately extinguished his heart like chicken blood.
"Gollum. Tang Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely, moistened his dry throat, and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
"That's a tiger rhino beast, a veritable general beast, I'm afraid it can to death in one breath......"
Tang Chen secretly weighed the gap between himself and the Tiger Rhino Beast, his judgment was right, the general beast was the same as the human star general, and it was able to perform some natal supernatural powers similar to human high-level star skills, which was beyond the scope of physical combat, it was completely a long-distance attack by transporting star power outside the body, so it was not alarmist to blow Tang Chen to death in one go.
Tang Chen's brain spun rapidly, wanting to rely on his invincible wisdom to fight for a glimmer of hope for the Wishful Fruit.
However, the disparity in strength between him and the tiger rhinoceros beast is too great, just like a baby to a strong man, it is not an order of magnitude at all, and there is no comparison at all. In other words, in the face of the absolute crushing power of the tiger rhinoceros beast, Tang Chen's wisdom was also embarrassed.
"Otherwise, go back and ask the family elders to help?......" As soon as this idea popped up in Tang Chen's heart, he immediately vetoed it.
He knew very well that once he asked for the help of the elders of the family, the wishful fruit would no longer have anything to do with him, and when the time came, the wishful fruit would definitely be levied by the family, and he, because he found the credit of the wishful fruit, would probably get a small reward.
This result may be reasonable, but it is not what Tang Chen wants.
The only thing he wanted was this wishful fruit, a wishful fruit that could improve the quality of his star soul, and a wishful fruit that could change the fate of his life!
However, if you don't ask for foreign help, how can you get this wishful fruit?
"Alas, it's a pity that my father is not at home......" Tang Chen sighed secretly, with his father's strength as a third-order star general, it was naturally more than enough to deal with this tiger rhinoceros beast.
Can we only watch this great opportunity pass by?
Tang Chen was very unwilling, he understood very well, if he couldn't seize the opportunity now, then he probably wouldn't want to get the wishful fruit in his life, and he wouldn't even have the chance to meet the wishful fruit.
"It's better to fight! If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!" Tang Chen secretly encouraged himself, he was also a good man with blood, and he had the opportunity to get ahead, who wanted to be the waste that was bullied and ridiculed all day long.
After some thought, he finally made up his mind to snatch this wishful fruit.
"You must take it, but you can't do it recklessly, otherwise it's no different from looking for death. ”
Tang Chen slowly adjusted his breathing, trying to suppress the last trace of frenzy in his heart, his eyes gradually returned to clarity, and he began to carefully observe the situation in the valley, trying to find out all the external conditions that could be used.
After about ten minutes, he had already scanned the entire valley several times, and disappointingly, he did not find anything vantacious.
He couldn't even find any obstacles that could barely block his tracks, the shallow grass was too sparse for hiding his figure from a distance, and if he was close, it wouldn't work at all.
However, if you can't sneak to the vicinity of the tiger rhinoceros beast smoothly, it will be whimsical to snatch the wishful fruit from this distance of nearly five miles.
Just when Tang Chen was at a loss, a stronger medicinal fragrance wafted in.
Smelling this fragrant fragrance, Tang Chen knew that the wishful fruit was ripening rapidly, which also meant that there was not much time left for him, and he had to find a way as soon as possible.
"That's right!" the medicinal fragrance ......" Tang Chen's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, "Since this fragrance can attract tiger and rhino beasts, it can attract other star beasts, if they fight each other, then they can fish in troubled waters......"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and even a little excited.
Judging from the concentration of the medicinal incense, the Ruyi fruit should be about to ripen, and it will be completely ripe in half a day at the latest, if there are other star beasts following the fragrance to find it, it must be almost there, and you have to prepare in advance.
Tang Chen secretly pondered various possible scenarios for fishing in troubled waters, and he even thought of three escape routes.
At the same time, he moved his hiding place to the side for a mile, because the place where he was before was the entrance to the valley, and it was the place where the star beasts had to enter and exit, and if he stayed there, even if he was not eaten by the star beasts, he would probably be trampled to death by the star beasts.
Arriving at the new hideout, Tang Chen began to tinker in an orderly manner.
He first sprayed a lot of masking liquid on his body, this thing is not very useful, the only use is to cover up the smell on his body, with it, the star beast will not want to rely on the smell to find him.
Then, he began to lay all kinds of traps. These things are all ready-made star weapons, and they are the guys he spent a lot of points to save his life from the family, and in normal times, he is reluctant to use them at all, but this is the right time to come in handy.
It's a pity that the grade of these star weapons in Tang Chen's hand is too low, and the most powerful of them is only a fifth-order beast trap, which can barely be used to deal with star beasts below the sixth-order beast, and used to deal with general beasts, so the effect is not easy to say.
However, with the idea that something is better than nothing, Tang Chen still arranged all the trap star weapons, not hoping to trap the general beasts, but only hoping to delay them at that time, even if it was only for a short time, it might win him a precious chance to live.
Eventually, he looked for several particularly large trees on the slope of the hill away from the entrance to the valley, and on the side of the land where they turned away from the valley, he dug a deep pit for each person.
After doing this, Tang Chen returned to his hiding place again and began to wait patiently for the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
