Chapter 41: The Scheme

"Whoosh. ”

A huge black shadow flew by.

Xiao Jing was unmoved, and Xiao Zhuang, Xiao Zimu, and the other two family members were like great enemies.

"Hundred blades of fire. Xiao Yi snorted coldly, and a fire blade came out of his hand, breaking the black giant shadow in two.

Xiao Jing's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's a second-level demon beast, an iron-backed giant snake, and its strength is equivalent to that of a human being. ”

Xiao Yi and his party have left the Xiao family's ore vein for dozens of miles, and they have encountered many attacks from demon beasts one after another.

"This is already the eighth demon beast attack encountered, and in the Meteorite Mountain Range, it is indeed a demon beast that is rampant. Xiao Yi said in a deep voice.

Demon beasts are hostile to human warriors, but they possess spirituality, are fierce and cunning.

Whether it is a large vein or a small vein, it is rare to see demon beasts in places where ordinary human warriors are concentrated.

They will be found in places where there are few warriors' footprints.

Xiao Yi and the others had just left dozens of miles and gone deeper into the Meteorite Mountain Range, and they had already seen a lot of demon beasts.

Of course, these monsters are strong and weak.

The weak demon beast, seeing that there are many people in Xiao Yi and his party, will not hesitate to stay away. Only some powerful monsters will come looking for trouble.

At the same time, there are also some sporadic demon hunters on the way. Walk alone or in groups, carefully walking in the mountains.

A demon hunter who walks alone is bound to be powerful.

The demon beast Neidan, the corpse of the demon beast, are all very valuable things.

For the sake of these things, human warriors did not hesitate to risk their lives to hunt and kill.

Of course, people die for money, and birds die for them. Many of these warriors were also buried in the belly of demon beasts.

In short, in this huge meteorite mountain range, battles are being experienced every moment of every day.

Or the demon beast fights with the warrior, or the demon beast fights with the demon beast, or even the warrior fights with the warrior for profit.

Human life has become a very worthless thing here, and blood and killing have become the order of the day here.

Danger, flooding the entire mountain range.

"Young master. Xiao Jing suddenly said, "I see your proficiency in the Fire Devouring Hundred Blades, it shouldn't take long to condense the second way." ”

"Deacon Xiao Jing has good eyesight. Xiao Yi said, "I'm trying to condense the second way, and I should be about to succeed." ”

Xiao Zhuang and the other family members showed admiration on their faces, "The Fire Devouring Hundred Blades are the most powerful martial arts of our Xiao family, and we don't even have the opportunity to learn it now, but the young family master is already preparing to condense the second way." ”

What was once a family waste is now the brightest star in their eyes.

But they were not unconvinced, but more convinced of Xiao Yi.

The group continued to hurry, and after a few hours, Xiao Jing stopped and said, "We have arrived." ”

At that moment, a figure jumped down from a large tree.

"Deacon Xiao Jing, the young head of the family. The figure saluted Xiao Jing and Xiao Yi.

This is a member of the Xiao family's pathfinder team, who has been keeping watch nearby.

Under the leadership of this team member, they went hundreds of meters deep into the dense forest, and along the way, there were eight people from the pathfinder team jumping from the trees.

Xiao Yi said lightly, "It is worthy of the Xiao family's pathfinder team, all of them are very vigilant, and their ability to hide with the help of the dense forest is not bad." ”

Xiao Jing asked with interest, "Oh, young family master, you also have experience walking in the dense forest?"

"Hehe, a little bit. Xiao Yi prevaricated casually.

When he was on Earth, he didn't go anywhere. He has traversed the dangerous Amazon forest, the mysterious snow-capped mountains, and the deadly Sahara Desert one by one, and naturally has a wealth of experience in all kinds of walking.

Suddenly, one of the team members pointed forward and said happily, "Look, that's the Demon Blood Flame Heart Fruit." ”

Xiao Yi looked up and saw a strange big tree in front of him.

The tree is about several meters tall and has many branches. But the strange thing is that it is full of fiery red, and even the leaves are fiery red, like a fiery sapling.

And among the interlaced leaves, there are three red fruits.

The red color of the fruit is completely different from the leaves.

The leaves are fiery red, while the fruits are blood-red.

The round spirit fruit seemed to be a huge drop of blood wrapped in countless blood.

That is the Demon Blood Flame Heart Fruit.

At a glance, the first feeling of the three demon blood flame heart fruits was that it was demonic, and it was so strange that it was terrifying.

"Goo. Xiao Zhuang and the other family members swallowed their saliva and were a little stunned.

As for Xiao Yi, he still has that pale face.

Xiao Jing glanced at it and said secretly, "It is worthy of being the young head of the family, our Xiao family's first day was so calm." The first time I saw this spirit fruit, I was shocked. ”

"Judging by the ripeness of this spirit fruit, it should not be able to be picked in a few hours. Xiao Yi said suddenly.

"Uh. Xiao Jing reacted and said with a smile, "Well, I originally thought that it would take at least two days for these fruits to ripen." However, the young master of the family, you are an alchemist, and you are much more familiar with these heavenly treasures than me. ”

In the dense forest, people's vision is already very limited. This big tree grows in this kind of place, if Xiao Jing and others didn't happen to encounter it, I'm afraid outsiders would never have discovered its existence.

Xiao Yi and his party could only continue to wait patiently in the dense forest.

About two hours later, Xiao Yi heard a strange movement.

Looking for the sound, it turned out that the soil under the big tree had changed.

A large area of dirt around the big tree turned into crimson blood in an instant. In the blood soil, bursts of blood qi escaped.

The blood was like a bubble, making a low crackling sound.

As the blood emerged from the dirt, it automatically meandered around and wrapped around the trunk of the tree.

The trunk of the tree turned from fiery red to crimson in an instant.

After that, even the leaves became crimson.

Xiao Zhuang and the others looked panicked and said in surprise, "Why is the soil bleeding? And that big tree, it's absorbing these blood qi." ”

Xiao Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "No, what is really absorbing blood qi is those three demon blood flame heart fruits. It is only absorbed through the trunk and leaves, and eventually it will coalesce into the fruit. ”

Xiao Yi continued, "The blood qi was unearthed and melted into the body of the tree, and the three Demon Blood Flame Heart Fruits became more and more demonic and blood-red, which was a sign of their maturity. ”

"Can you pick it?" Xiao Jing was overjoyed and asked.

"That's it. Xiao Yi nodded.

However, just as Xiao Jing was about to move, Xiao Yi grabbed him, "Don't move yet." ”

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jing asked suspiciously.

Xiao Yi pointed ahead, and with sharp eyes, he found that there were a few thin footprints there, "What's going on with those footprints?"

Xiao Jing relaxed his expression and said, "I thought the young family master was asking something, those footprints may have been approached by other team members." ”

"No way. Xiao Yi's face became solemn and said, "Those footprints are very shallow, I almost didn't see them." Apparently someone had walked there and covered up their footprints. ”

That's why those footprints are so shallow, leaving only a faint trace. ”

Xiao Jing also glanced at it and asked the team members behind him, "Have you ever been close there?"

Those team members hurriedly shook their heads and said, "No, the Demon Blood Flame Heart Fruit is very important, without your orders, captain, how dare we approach at will." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yi was instantly startled and said, "This proves that someone once discovered these three Demon Blood Flame Heart Fruits earlier than us. ”

Xiao Jing frowned and said, "No matter, in order to avoid too many dreams at night, I'll pick them first." ”

"Don't be impulsive. Xiao Yi let out a low snort, wanting to hold Xiao Jing.

However, Xiao Jing was an acquired sevenfold martial artist after all, and his speed was too fast. Ignoring Xiao Yi's reminder, he jumped over.

"The young master doesn't need to be too cautious, maybe you just read it wrong, I'll come back as soon as I finish picking, and it'll be fine." Xiao Jing jumped out with a smile.

Xiao Yat has always been cautious, his insight and keen intuition are far beyond Xiao Jing, and he will never be mistaken.

Sure enough, just as Xiao Jing was about to come to the big tree, ready to pick.

Behind the tree, a shrill roar suddenly emerged. Immediately, a behemoth suddenly appeared.

It was a giant python, covered in silver, with an amazing momentum, obviously not a good stubble.

"It's not good, it's a third-level demon beast, a silver-backed demon python, and its strength is no less than that of an innate martial artist, come back. Xiao Yi shouted.

Xiao Jing is not a fool, when he saw the silver-backed demon python, he didn't even need Xiao Yi to remind him, he immediately retreated.

The silverback demon python immediately pursued, and its bloody mouth could swallow Xiao Jing in one bite.

"Damn, you guys are waiting here, I'll go save Deacon Xiao Jing. Xiao Yi commanded and immediately jumped out.

"Hundred blades of fire. Xiao Yi shot out with a fire blade.

The fiery blade that exuded blazing heat struck the silverback python, causing it to pause and slow down. Xiao Jing took the opportunity to immediately speed up and retreat.

At this moment, suddenly, behind the big tree, a figure suddenly passed by. The speed of the figure was very fast, and he picked three demon blood flame heart fruits, and then immediately fled.

"Who is it?" Xiao Yi was startled.

"It's Murong Qianjun. Xiao Jing roared angrily.

"Hahahaha. That figure was none other than Murong Qianjun, who had disappeared for a while, and laughed as he fled, "A group of fools, if you hadn't helped me lure away this silver-backed demon python, I wouldn't have known how to pick these three demon blood flame heart fruits." Hahahaha. ”
