Chapter Twenty-Four: The Miraculous Effect of the Spirit Fruit

Just as the three guys who had escaped death were discussing why the demon ape no longer chased them, Xiao Liu and Mo Wu had been chased by the crazy bloodthirsty demon ape and escaped from a distance of nearly ten miles.

Along the way, they took advantage of the Demon Ape's limited vision, and although they were embarrassed, they succeeded in luring it away from the location of the Qilin.

"Fifth brother, what should we do next?!Have you figured out a way to get out?"

Xiao Liuxi was very puzzled, he was obviously exhausted before, but when he was chased by the demon ape, he ran more and more vigorously, and he did not show any weakness.

But having said that, even if he had the physical strength, he didn't want to be chased by that crazy monster all the time.

"It's not that there is no way. But we'll have to put a little more distance, and then I'll cast an illusion to get this pure benzene thing lost in the illusion!"

Mo Wu pondered for a moment and replied.

"Huh? Can you use illusions? Didn't you work before?"

Xiao Liu wondered very much, if he could use illusion, why did he spend so much effort to lure the demon ape away from all the way?

Just throw an illusion over and let it go!

"You stupid boy! Don't you notice that the condition of this body is rapidly improving? The half of the fruit you ate is really not a mortal thing! Now your body and my divine soul power are rapidly recovering! If we recover at this rate, we will soon be able to return to the state before the injury!"

"Ah, it turns out that half of the fruit is working a miracle? I thought my physical fitness had become stronger after a few days of tossing!"

Xiao Liu scratched his head and said innocently.

Mo Wu was speechless for a while, he really didn't have a problem with the stupidity of this guy Xiao Liu.

Soon, they led the demon ape away for about five miles, and came to a small hillside, standing on the hillside they looked back, the demon ape was still tall and terrifying, and when it approached, it was like a big dark cloud, obscuring the moonlight in the sky.

"Alright! I'll spell it out now! and then let's go back, I always feel like something is going to happen!"

Mo Wu didn't talk much nonsense, when the demon ape came to a dozen meters before the small hillside, a fist as big as a house had been raised high, ready to smash down violently, Mo Wu and Xiao Liu jumped in front of the huge head of the demon ape.

The size of their bodies is not even comparable to the head of this demon ape, at most one-third of its size, but this small body is not afraid to use the short time in the air to make eye contact with the only remaining one-eyed demon ape!

"Fool, fight the opponent I made!"

In Xiao Liu's ice-blue eyes, a flash of light appeared, and the head of the demon ape was enveloped in one fell swoop, and as Mo Wu shouted, their bodies quickly fell back to the hillside, leaving only the bloodthirsty demon ape frozen in place with its arms raised high.

"Alright! Let's go!"

After saying hello, Xiao Liu and Mo Wu bypassed the demon ape and began to rush back.

Behind them, the demon ape, which had been quiet for a moment, suddenly burst out with an earth-shattering roar, followed by a fierce attack like the earth shaking the mountains.

The hillside where Xiao Liu and Mo Wu once stood was unlucky, and in the mind of the demon ape, at this time, there was a giant python about the same size as it was coiling on the hillside, threatening to attack it!

Soon, the bloodthirsty demon ape was fighting with the giant python that didn't exist at all, and the mountain forest was a mess by it, and the original landform could not be seen at all.

After casting the illusion, Xiao Liu suddenly felt that his mental synchronization had been lifted, and Mo Wu also fell into silence.

The demon ape behind him wantonly destroyed, and Xiao Liu didn't have time to pay attention to it at all, he didn't pause all the way, and rushed straight towards the place where the unicorn was.

The distance of more than ten miles, with the fact that he has now recovered his state, did not take too long to cross.

However, when he saw the somewhat familiar figures of Sandao outside the cave, he was immediately taken aback.

These three people, they had fought once before, and they were undoubtedly the few people who were chased and killed by the demon ape before!

"Why are you here!?"

Xiao Liu's first reaction was not very worried, he and the fifth brother had just saved their lives, and these people should not endanger themselves.

So his tone and expression were just puzzled.

"You're the kid just now? Didn't you say there's a monster here? Where? You can't be talking about the guy who is about to give birth in this cave, right?"

The first to speak was the captain's son, who looked a little unkind, as if he had lied to himself before blaming Xiao Liu.

"If I don't say that, will you simply turn around? This unicorn is about to give birth and become a mother. I certainly can't let it be affected by the fight. What are you doing when you come back?"

Xiao Liu didn't have any scheming, he explained and asked again.

This time it was the captain in his fifties who answered him

"Little brother, you led that demon ape away, right? Thank you for saving our lives! My name is Luo Jin, and I am the captain of the third team of the Iron and Blood Mercenary Regiment! These two are my son Luo Xiang and the deputy captain Jade Rakshasa. Little brother, can you tell me how you got rid of that demon ape?"

Luo Jin spoke with a pleasant face, looking very close and grateful, Xiao Liu immediately forgot Luo Xiang's not very friendly attitude, and replied with a smile

"Uncle Rob, in fact, we didn't get rid of the demon ape, when it was chasing me, it encountered a huge python, and the two monsters fought as soon as they met, but they forgot about me. So I just got away with it. ”

Xiao Liu's answer was half-true, he was not too stupid, and for strangers, he knew what to say and what not to say.

However, he forgot that his unintentional words before had revealed very important information!

Kirin!

It is a legendary auspicious holy beast, usually only people with great luck can encounter this kind of spiritual creature, and in the southern mountains, where birds don't, there is a living unicorn that is about to give birth!!

If this news spreads to Yuzhou City not far away, it will definitely cause an explosive sensation, and there will be countless people who will come to see the true face of the Qilin, and even many people will fight its idea!

Xiao Liu, who was not deeply involved in the world, didn't notice it at all, and when he said that the animal in the cave was a unicorn, an imperceptible greed flashed in the eyes of Luo Xiang and Jade Rakshasa!

Among these three people, the only one who has never had a crooked mind may be Luo Jin, who is the captain, alone......

When he spoke, his attitude was very sincere, and he was really grateful to Xiao Liu for leading away the demon ape for them.

"Little brother Yi Bo Yuntian! Not only did he lure away the monster for a few of us, but he was also willing to protect a spirit beast that had nothing to do with him, this kind of righteous act made me Luo Xiang admire it from the bottom of my heart! I hope you don't take it to heart for the rudeness just now! You haven't asked the name of the little brother yet, can you tell us?"

That Luo Xiang's eyes rolled, he changed his previous attitude, and became extremely affectionate, as if he only now knew that it was Xiao Liu who saved the three of them.

"Brother Luo is about to praise me to the sky, I really dare not take it. You can call me Little Liu. What kind of mercenary group did you just say, and what does a mercenary group do?"

Xiaoliu has a kind nature, and soon forgot the previous unpleasantness and talked with each other cordially.

Soon the four of them became acquainted, Luo Jin and Luo Xiang were all in the mercenary industry in Yuzhou City.

In these troubled times, mercenaries are a very wide range of professions, and they can theoretically take on any business as long as they have money to earn.

This time, they were commissioned by a big customer to come to the interior of the southern mountains to hunt and kill a certain monster that harmed people's lives, but who knew that this monster was a five-foot tall demon ape, which was not something they could deal with at all.

For this reason, their team of twenty people lost a full nine companions!

The rest either fled separately or died tragically at the hands of the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape.

This mission can be said to have failed the moment they met the demon ape, and they not only lost their troops this time, but also compensated for the losses of the dependent people after they returned!

In the mercenary world, credibility is the most important thing, if you take the task but don't complete it, then not only will you lose your reputation, but you will also have to compensate the original commission in full!

Every year, I don't know how many mercenaries like Luo Jin and them die in various missions!

Xiao Liu was very interested in this novel profession, and asked a lot of information about this industry.

While a few people were chatting, it was already completely dark, and they agreed to spend the night together while guarding the unicorn in the cave.

Someone helped, Xiao Liu was naturally willing, and he also wanted to talk more about the topic of mercenaries when they were on a mission.

As for Mo Wu, before Xiao Liu returned to the cave, he fell into silence and didn't know what he was doing.

After Xiao Liu's body was nourished by the half of the spirit fruit, he had almost recovered, not only did his physical strength come back, but even the injuries on his body were basically healed.

In this unfamiliar environment, the four of them talked happily with each other, and exchanged enthusiastically around a pile of improvised bonfires.

But Xiao Liu didn't know that among the three people from the iron-blooded mercenary group, the young Luo Jin and the Jade Rakshasa would glance at the location of the cave from time to time, as if they were waiting for something to happen......
