Chapter 153: Zhu Guo
At noon, the crowd stopped on a huge raised rock.
The rocks are on a small hill, and as far as the eye can see, there are some bleak winter mountain forests all around.
The mountains and forests behind are barren and desolate, with dry branches piercing the sky, while farther ahead there seem to be hardy trees, pine and wild cypresses, and low shrubs on the side of the road show a deep black color.
"According to the agreement, there is an hour every day to explore freely, and after an hour, everyone is still gathered here, but don't forget the hour" Han Feng glanced at everyone and said softly
A group of warriors were willing to join the old man's team, on the one hand, because of the reward of a thousand taels a day, and on the other hand, because the old man gave him time to explore freely.
The four-tailed ice flower python is in the Soul Monument, and after this trip, each martial artist will probably be able to get nearly 10,000 taels of silver, but if there is no condition for exploring along the way, these top casual cultivators may not join.
With the condensation warrior leading the team, at least the safety before entering the Soul Monument is guaranteed, falling into the secluded mountain, the closer to the core, the more spiritual things grow, compared to a thousand taels, the warriors value this exploration for an hour every day more.
After the old man finished speaking, he took the black-clothed man to leave first, and the rest of the warriors looked at each other, each chose a direction, and left in a hurry.
In the blink of an eye, only Ye Chenghe and Xiao Bai standing on their shoulders were left on the rocks
"How to go" Ye Cheng glanced at the little beast on his shoulder, now this time is Xiaobai's home field.
Xiaobai shook his head, the range it could detect was only three hundred meters, and it would not know anything beyond this range.
"Then let's go casually" Ye Cheng picked a random direction and began to hurry.
The forest has accumulated thick fallen leaves, and the winter is bitterly cold, and the leaves on the ground are dry, and people step on the fallen leaves, making a creaking sound.
Xiao Bai stretched out his nose and continued to probe, and suddenly his figure froze, and he pointed to the east of the forest with some uncertainty.
Ye Cheng's eyes lit up and he walked towards the low bushes to the east.
No one walked in the forest for a long time, and the thorny vines sealed the road ahead,
Ye Cheng slashed out with a knife in his hand, clearing the space of several meters in front of him, Ye Cheng didn't need to hide anything here, and the loud roar continued to echo in the forest.
Even if he is injured now, but if he goes down with a casual knife, it is still nearly a thousand catties of strength, if he is restored to the level of the top lion seal of the Huoyuan Casting Method, his arms are ten thousand catties of great strength.
Ye Cheng swept all the way and soon found a green plant deep in the forest.
The plant is more than three feet tall and has green round leaves, surrounded by dark gray bushes and thorns, but this plant is full of green, and the round leaves are constantly swirling with the cold wind.
"It's really yours" Ye Cheng touched the little white head.
A hint of smugness flashed across the tanuki beast's face
"Don't say anything else, if you talk about finding something delicious, who can compare to my Xiaobai"
Xiaobai stood on Ye Cheng's shoulder, and waved his paws quite magnificently, with a momentum that the world was under control.
At the top of the plant are three cherry-shaped bright red fruits, which seem to be carved from fine red jade, and you can feel the warm air currents around you just by getting closer.
"Sure enough, it should be a spiritual thing, there is no doubt that it is a spiritual thing" The cold wind in the mountains and forests is howling, dripping into ice, but next to this red jade fruit, it is as warm as spring.
Ye Cheng stretched out his hand to take it off
Suddenly, a thin cyan line crossed the air, and a fishy smell came from the surface, and a cold light flashed on the left side of Ye Cheng, hitting the young man's neck.
"The quality doesn't seem to be as good as the spirit jade fruit I exchanged, but the first time I explored, I made such a discovery, which is already rare."
Ye Cheng seemed to be unaware, and stretched out his hand to pick the red jade fruit.
Qingying's speed increased sharply, and the fangs glowing with cold light were about to bite down on the young man's neck.
suddenly
A white claw reached out and grabbed the green shadow in mid-air
Sizzle
A long green snake emerged, and a pair of snake eyes stared at Ye Cheng, who was close at hand.
The green snake kept struggling between the little white claws, and the upper and lower snake bodies kept twisting, trying to break free of the little white claws.
The green snake's eyes flashed coldly, its triangular head turned into an afterimage, and its two bulging fangs bit fiercely at its white claws.
Sonorous
A crisp voice rang out.
The fur between the little white claws was soft and shiny, but it was intact, but the two fangs of the green snake were broken in response, black poisonous juice splashed everywhere, and the dry and fallen leaves on the ground were corroded into a charred black color.
The green snake didn't seem to react to what was happening, and looked at the little white beast in front of him a little blankly.
"Little bugs"
A fierce light flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes, and the claws holding the green snake suddenly widened, the thickness of an adult's arm
Click
The seven-inch position of the green snake instantly turned into a puddle of meat and mud, and the whole long snake hung down softly, and there was no sound.
Xiaobai groped in the green snake's body for a while, and then pulled out a snake gall the size of a baby's fist with his paws, and then bit it down.
A trace of entanglement flashed on the little white civet cat's face, the taste of this thing was obviously not very good, but there was an aura hidden in it, so he had to frown and swallow it.
The snake gallbladder went down, Xiaobai exhaled a long breath, and casually threw the green snake in his hand aside.
He shook his palm, and the silver light on his body flashed, and the white fur turned smooth as new again, and there was no trace of blood.
Xiao Bai looked at the red vermilion fruit on Ye Cheng's palm with shining eyes, his figure flashed, and he was about to stuff it into his mouth when he picked one of them.
A big hand suddenly stretched out from behind, grabbed the soft flesh between Xiao Bai's neck, and lifted it up
The little white beast hung in the air, its limbs constantly struggling, and its two front paws were desperately protecting the vermilion fruit
"I want to eat too, I can't eat alone," Xiaobai kept shouting
Ye Cheng looked at the little beast with claws swaying in mid-air a little helplessly
"Eat, eat, you think this is the osmanthus cake in the restaurant, what if it is poisonous, this barren mountain and wild mountain, you are not afraid of death, you will eat" Ye Cheng glanced at the white-haired beast
Xiaobai was obviously a little hesitant, but he just grabbed the fruit and refused to let go
Ye Cheng sneered and handed the Zhu Guo in his hand to the little beast
"Come on, come on, don't you want to eat, anyway, there are three, both of them are for you, I'll eat them again after you finish eating"
Xiao Bai's face fell suddenly, and he looked at the aura-filled Zhu Guo in his hand, a little unwilling, but after some struggle, he still handed over the fruit to Ye Cheng.
Xiaobai is a demonic artifact, but after transforming into flesh, in addition to the magical powers attached to itself, it is no different from ordinary beasts, and when it encounters highly poisonous things, it will be poisoned or even killed.
After the death of other beasts, there is only a pile of white bones left, and it will turn back into a green jade seal, and after thousands of years, if it can be spiritualized again by chance, he may recover again, of course, at that time, it was still not this Xiaobai, it was two words.
Ye Cheng was also a little helpless when he held the three fruits, it was true that he was full of aura, and it was not false that it was the spiritual root of the product, but he didn't know what it was, some highly poisonous spiritual objects could be eaten by Tian Yuan.
"Otherwise, you eat one first, no, half a pill, such a small amount, it should be fine if it is poisonous" Ye Cheng looked at Xiaobai, a little uncertain
Xiaobai shook his head frantically, his paws swayed again and again, joking, if it was really poisonous, it would be a terrible thing
Ye Cheng sighed a little melancholy
"It's sad"
Ye Cheng glanced around, surrounded by bushes and thorns, the green plant withered quickly after picking the fruit, and the leaves withered and yellowed, falling with the wind.
He glanced at the shapeless green snake on the ground, and his eyes suddenly lit up
In the mountains and forests of Xiaosuo
Ye Cheng and Xiaobai stared closely at the gray-haired rabbit on the ground
Ye Cheng had a cherry-like red fruit in his hand, the red skin peeled off, and the flesh the size of a fingernail was missing.
The rabbit looked panicked, but he didn't dare to move, the powerful momentum on Xiaobai's body enveloped the rabbit, and the gray rabbit trembled.
"It should be fine" Ye Cheng and Xiaobai glanced at each other and said with some hesitation
Half a quarter of an hour ago, Ye Cheng caught this gray rabbit in the forest and forcibly fed it a little vermilion fruit, and now it seems that this vermilion fruit is not poisonous.
Xiao Bai's eyes lit up, and he reached out and grabbed the fruit in Ye Cheng's hand and was about to send it to his mouth.
suddenly
The gray rabbit who had been trembling on the ground rolled his eyes and fell to the ground with a thud
Xiaobai's claws stopped in mid-air, and his expression froze
Ye Cheng: "......"
Xiaobai: "......"
"No, wasn't this rabbit quite spiritual before?"
Ye Cheng looked at the half-torn fruit in his hand with some confusion, the fruit that had been taken by Xiaobai was originally taken by Xiaobai, and he didn't know when it would return to his hand.
Xiaobai looked at the gray rabbit with his feet facing the sky, and his face palpitated.
"It's so dangerous in the mountains, I want to go back to the city," Xiaobai shouted in his heart.
Ye Cheng took out a piece of oil paper and wrapped the three fruits, this oil paper was originally for chestnut cakes, but the pastries inside were all eaten by Xiaobai.
Ye Cheng and Xiaobai looked a little depressed, the elixir was found, but unfortunately it was poison.
Ye Cheng glanced at the sky and estimated the time, it was almost time to gather.
One person and one beast walked back a little dejectedly, it was already luck to be able to find a spiritual object after coming out, this is still on the premise of Xiaobai's help, otherwise it will be swaying everywhere, and in a few hours, Ye Cheng may not be able to find the vermilion fruit
There was a dull low sound behind him.
Ye Cheng and Xiaobai were stunned for a moment, and turned their heads to look behind them.
"I'll fuck your uncle......"
One man and one beast were stunned for a moment, and then an angry look suddenly flashed on their faces, and Xiaobai was waving his paws wildly, and there were bursts of sharp whistling in the air.
The rabbit that had fallen to the ground turned out to be ...... I ran away
The gray-haired rabbit kicked its hind legs violently, and a one-foot-deep dirt pit appeared on the ground, and the dirt splashed, and the gray-haired rabbit rushed out more than ten meters at once, as if flying in mid-air.
The rabbit swelled all over his body, and his muscles bulged, obviously benefiting a lot.
"Chase, let's eat rabbit meat tonight" Ye Cheng's voice was cold, his face suddenly darkened, and he chased forward first.
Xiaobai was also filled with righteous indignation, jumped in shape, and chased towards the rabbit.
A man and a beast chased the rabbit and ran around, and the rabbit saw that someone was chasing him, his expression was frightened, and he also ran forward desperately, and when he stared at his feet, it was the splash of earth and rocks, and the shouts and shouts in the forest continued to sound, and he was suddenly in a mess.
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Cheng grabbed a pair of long rabbit ears in his hands and stood in the forest, while Xiaobai stood aside, looking at the gray-haired rabbit hanging in the air with an unkind expression
The little gray rabbit trembled, and two powerful breaths instantly locked on him, and now, it really didn't dare to escape.
"The fruit should not be poisonous, and it should be extremely good for the body's qi and blood," Ye Cheng touched the strong muscles of the rabbit's legs and said softly.
Feeling Ye Cheng's movements, the gray rabbit trembled again
Ye Cheng threw the rabbit on the ground and took out the red fruit wrapped in oiled paper from his arms
The gray rabbit's eyes on the ground were rolling, but whenever he wanted to make a move, a cold gaze swept over, and he felt the murderous aura on Xiaobai's body, and the little gray rabbit finally didn't dare to move.
"You have one, the rest is mine" Ye Cheng handed a whole vermilion fruit to Xiaobai
"I'll heal my wounds first, you help me look around" Ye Cheng grabbed Zhu Guo's little white dao, and then glanced coldly at the gray rabbit on the ground
"Also, give me a good look at it," Ye Cheng said coldly
"Don't worry, you can't run"
The little white paw waved and responded softly, also looking at the rabbit coldly.
The rabbit's ears drooped down, and he trembled all over, and wanted to cry without tears
The light gray clouds in the sky flowed, the cold wind blew through the forest, and some dry fallen leaves were blown up, making a slight whirling sound.
Ye Cheng sat down cross-legged, in the gray forest, Zhu Guo was like a burning flame, he picked up the two crystal fruits, and then swallowed them in one gulp.
