Volume 1 First Arrival in the Otherworld Chapter 46 The Spirit Fruit is gone
On the Tiankun Star, the four main continents all have four races of humans, demons, demons, and ghosts at the same time, but there are big differences in their numbers.
Xiao Ding and the senior sister Cheng Yaowu stayed in the cave under the Qingluan Peak of the Soul Mountain at night, and in the middle of the night, they were suddenly awakened by a cold atmosphere.
Xiao Ding opened his eyes to look outside the cave, and suddenly found that not far from the entrance of the cave, there was a tall and terrifying ghost, looking towards the entrance of the cave.
The ghost figure was estimated to be more than a foot tall, and it looked like a human figure.
It's just that the big face, miserable and white, with a pair of blood-red eyes embedded in it, is glowing red at this time.
Grimace's nose has only two black holes, and there is no nose. Below is a large mouth with a large blood basin, the corners of the mouth are cracked to the root of the ear, and the mouth is full of white teeth, and there are four fangs more than an inch long sticking out of the lips.
In addition, the grimace's mouth also had a blood-red tongue more than a foot long, like a snake letter, stretching and shrinking, swallowing and spitting out.
It had thinning hair on its head, but it was spread out, obscuring half of its grimace.
The ghost's limbs were thin and slender, and the ten nails on his two hands were about an inch long, and they looked very sharp.
Xiao Ding found the ghost and was about to get up, when suddenly he felt the figure on his body flash, and the senior sister once again stepped directly over him and flew out of the cave.
Then she drove the flying sword and fought the ghost.
The body of this ghost exudes a strong cold aura, which makes people shudder and creepy before they get close.
Although the senior sister has reached the realm of Qi Cultivation and Great Perfection, she still doesn't have the upper hand against that ghost.
When Xiao Ding saw it, he hurriedly got up, took out a wooden sword from the space that had been sharpened by using 10,000-year-old lightning to strike the zombie wood when he was on the earth before, and ran directly towards the ghost.
The lightning strike stiff wood is the nemesis of all yin and evil things, the ghost saw the wooden sword in Xiao Ding's hand, obviously a little afraid, it struck at the senior sister after a move, turned into a gust of yin wind and fled into the distance.
The senior sister harnessed the sword and chased after her.
Xiao Ding also ran a few steps along, but found that his already mastered light body technique was as slow as a toddler in front of the ghost and the senior sister.
So he had no choice but to stop, holding a wooden sword in his hand, vigilantly monitoring the surroundings.
It didn't take long for the senior sister to return, and she still said in a slightly angry voice, "Let that ghost thing escape again." ”
Xiao Ding said in a comforting tone: "Just run away, it didn't hurt us anyway." Could it be the ghost of the Netherworld? ”
"Yes, this time I saw clearly, it is indeed a ghost cultivator from the Netherworld, and it can probably have the realm of a third-order ghost pawn, which is equivalent to the cultivation of the Great Perfection of Human Qi Cultivation."
"Third-Order Ghost Pawn?" It's the first time Xiao Ding has heard of this name.
"Yes, the realm of ghost cultivation is divided into: ghost pawn, ghost warrior, ghost general, ghost handsome, ghost king, etc., among which the first-order ghost pawn is equivalent to the cultivation of the third level of human qi training, the second-order ghost pawn is equivalent to the cultivation of the seventh layer of human qi training, and the third-order ghost pawn is equivalent to the cultivation of the great perfection of human qi training. The ghost cultivator who had just escaped was a third-order ghost pawn. The senior sister explained.
"I also saw the appearance of that ghost cultivator just now, I saw that it seems to be a powerful ghost!" Xiao Ding asked curiously. He used to be on the earth, after crossing over to the ancient Great Song Kingdom, he had seen the people of the Spirit Castle of the Martial Arts Evil Sect, and the powerful ghosts controlled by them were like puppets, but he had never seen a powerful ghost who could act at will.
"It's just a ghost. DID YOU KNOW? After the death of a human being, the soul will go to the netherworld, pass through the six realms of reincarnation, and then be reincarnated and become a new human. However, some human beings, because of their sins in life, or because of the resentment they accumulated in life, after death, their souls go to the netherworld, and they cannot be reincarnated, or they can only be reincarnated in the animal path. So, they don't want to be reincarnated, so they all become powerful ghosts. These powerful ghosts, in order to be able to return to the yang world, began the ghost cultivation technique. This ghost cultivation technique and human cultivation techniques are the same, if you can achieve great success, you can eventually enter the immortal class and become immortals. Seeing that Xiao Ding didn't understand, the senior sister said in more detail.
"Ah, it turns out that ghost cultivation can also become an immortal!" Xiao Ding suddenly sighed.
"Not only can ghost cultivators eventually cultivate into immortals, but others, such as demon cultivators and demon cultivators, can also be cultivated into immortals in the end. So I heard that in the world of immortals, there are good and bad immortals. Senior Sister said calmly.
"But, I don't know what the purpose of that ghost cultivator just now, what is its purpose in snooping on us?" Xiao Ding asked again suspiciously.
"It seems that you don't know yet, usually, the ghost clan lives in the dark netherworld, and when their cultivation is low, they are very afraid of the sun, as long as the sun hits them, their ghosts will immediately be gone. Therefore, if these low-level ghost cultivators want to be able to operate in the daytime of the yang world, they can only rely on sucking human blood to keep the yin souls from being scattered by the sun. Senior Sister looked at Xiao Ding and said.
"Huh? Sucking human blood? Could it be that just now, that ghost cultivator wanted to suck the human blood of the two of us? Xiao Ding exclaimed.
"Yes, in this barren mountain and wilderness, it can meet the two of us, so it is naturally worried about the blood of the two of us." Senior Sister smiled evilly and said.
"Then it didn't suck our blood just now, does it have to come back later?" Xiao Ding said worriedly.
"That's not necessarily, for ghost cultivators, human blood has the most yang energy, which is the most suitable for them to absorb, and the more cultivators' blood, the more replenished it will be for them. However, if they can't suck human blood, they can also suck animal blood. It's just that the effect of ordinary beast blood is not as good as the effect of human blood, only the blood of demon beasts will be useful to them, but ordinary demon beasts are also difficult to deal with, so low-level ghost cultivators would rather suck the blood of ordinary humans than be enemies with demon beasts. The senior sister said eloquently.
"I see!" After some conversation with the senior sister, Xiao Ding finally had a little understanding of the ghost clans on the Kunxing Continent this day.
Seeing that it was the second half of the night, the two added some dry wood to the fire at the entrance of the cave, and then hurried back to the cave to catch up on sleep.
This time, the ghost pawn didn't come to harass the two again.
The two slept until dawn, and after breakfast, they began to climb towards Qingluan Peak.
The reason why the senior sister didn't fly with the sword, or fly with magic weapons, was because she knew that there were many demon beasts hidden in this mountain, and maybe there would be high-level ones, and if they flew in the air, the target would be too conspicuous and easy to be attacked by demon beasts.
And if you walk on the ground, the target will be small, and the two of you will easily avoid the minefield through the divine sense, bypass those positions guarded by high-level demon beasts, and avoid unworthy conflicts.
The peak of Qingluan Peak was very high, and the two of them came to the vicinity of the summit when it was almost noon. Part of the reason why they walked so slowly was because they took a lot of detours to avoid high-level demon beasts on the way.
With her memory, the senior sister Cheng Yaowu led Xiao Ding to a large area of low fruit groves.
Xiao Ding looked from afar and saw that the woods, at this time, many branches were full of clusters of flowers, very beautiful. These trees are much lower than the other trees in the mountains, and they are not as thick as the other trees.
Between the trees, a large flock of crows with a few red feathers on their bodies also fluttered.
Senior Sister whispered to Xiao Ding: "Those crows are Qingluan Fire Crows, except for the head crow, which is a third-order demon beast, the others are second-order demon beasts, they can breathe fire, be careful not to be discovered by them." ”
Xiao Ding was taken aback, and said in his heart, such a large group of second-order demon beasts is equivalent to the cultivation of the seventh layer of human qi cultivation, even if they are not as high as the cultivation of the senior sister, if they come to attack together, it will be difficult for him and the senior sister to resist. What's more, their head crows are already third-order, and their cultivation is on par with that of the senior sister.
"This forest, is it the Aoki Purple Fruit Tree?" Xiao Ding asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I got the Aoki Purple Fruit here last time, but this time, it looks like there is no fruit on the tree!" There was a slight disappointment in the tone of the senior sister's speech.
"There are so many Qingluan Fire Crow guards here, how did you get your hands on the Aoki Purple Fruit last time?" Xiao Ding asked curiously.
"The last time I came over, I just caught up with the fact that there were still a lot of fruits on the tree, and then a third-order demon beast came to grab the Qingmu Purple Fruit, and I went to secretly pick one while this group of Qingluan Fire Crows was fighting with that third-order demon beast. At that time, I wanted to pick a few more, but it was discovered by one of the fire crows, it turned around and sprayed a mouthful of flames at me, almost cremating me, fortunately I am a single water heavenly root, and the exercises I practiced are water attributes, and I condensed a water ball in time to extinguish the fire, so it was not burned. ”
When Xiao Ding heard it, it turned out that the senior sister's heavenly root was a water attribute, and the main exercises she practiced were also water-based exercises, no wonder she always blew up the furnace in alchemy, this is incompatible with water and fire!
"And then, didn't the group of Qingluan fire crows chase you?" Xiao Ding continued to ask.
"Later, when I saw that things were not good, I ran away in time, and those fire crows didn't come to chase me because there were still enemies coveting Aoki Ziguo there, otherwise it would be difficult for me to get out." Senior Sister is still a little glad when she talks about this now.
Xiao Ding also felt that the senior sister was too lucky at that time. So, he opened his eyes and looked carefully at the woods, and at the same time opened his divine sense to look at the woods, and probed for a while, but finally found no fruit on the trees.
The senior sister had also explored clearly at this time, and did not find any green wood purple fruits on the tree, so she said regretfully: "It seems that the batch of green wood purple fruits that were born last time have been eaten by this group of green luan fire crows. ”
"That Qingluan fire crow likes to eat green wood purple fruit?" Xiao Ding asked.
"Of course. The Aoki Purple Fruit is a wood-attribute spirit fruit, while the Qingluan Fire Raven is a fire-attribute demon beast. Among the five elements, wood makes fire, and eating the spirit fruit of the wood attribute is naturally beneficial to the demon beasts of the fire attribute. The senior sister explained.
"Qingluan Fire Crow is a fire-attribute demon beast, why don't you eat fire-attribute spirit fruits?" Xiao Ding was puzzled again.
"Eating fire-attribute spirit fruits will naturally benefit them, but the spirit fruits in this world are not something that can be found if they can be found, since they have met wood-attribute spirit fruits, they will naturally occupy this forest, and they will not look for any fire-attribute spirit fruits." Senior Sister patiently explained.
The two were chatting about Qingluan Fire Crow and Aoki Ziguo, when they suddenly heard a crow cry.
Then the two immediately turned their heads to look in the direction of the woods, and saw that the largest of the green fire crows, led by the crow group, had quickly flown towards the place where the two were hiding......
