Chapter 14 Dou Quenching Fruit
"Uncle, you ran too fast, how did you get halfway up the mountain?" said Karina with a distressed expression as she walked around and inspected the terrain, "If we progress too fast, our harvest will be reduced." ”
I guess I was running for my life.
Li Mo was speechless, sighed and said, "Then let's go down and go again?"
"Isn't that a waste of time?" retorted Karina.
"It's better to go up first, explore the treasure on the top of the mountain, and if we have enough time, let's go through the places we haven't searched again. Do you think it's okay?" Karina clapped her little hand and immediately thought of a way.
Although the end of the words was an inquiry, the sparkling look in Xiao Lori's eyes made it clear to everyone that this was the final decision.
Of course, Li Mo won't say anything, as long as he doesn't touch his bottom line, it doesn't matter how he gets it, and the bottom line of the residents of Black Mist City has always been low.
As for Malka, the unscrupulous orcs spend most of their time looking at Lori.
So, Karina made a mark in her current position, and the three of them set off again.
The higher you go, the more you will be harvested, and the danger will increase accordingly.
The role of Pathfinder was changed from Kailina to Li Mo.
Soon, the three of them encountered a small poison pool that was constantly releasing poison gas. Li Mo put on the protective clothing provided by Kailina and jumped into the poison pool to pick a blooming dragon heart purple flower in the center of the poison pool. It turned out that this ordinary protective clothing had a limited effect, and when Li Mo got the dragon heart purple flower out of the poison pool, his whole body showed a strange sauce color, and then it quickly faded.
Then, the three of them encountered a fire spirit in an unstable state, if the magician was present and could seal it, this fire spirit would definitely be able to sell for a good price, but unfortunately the three were not magic masters. Only Limo and Marka could only be contained, and after Karina found the three fire diamonds in the fire elf parade route, the three quickly left.
When repairing afterwards, Kailina was surprised to find that Li Mo was unscathed, but Malka was burned by the flames several times, but fortunately, he cultivated the flame fighting qi, and had a certain amount of flame resistance, except for the damage to the hair, there was no serious damage.
When they were about to reach the top of the mountain, the three of them found another top-level plant, the Dou Quenching Tree. On this half-meter-tall emerald green plant, which is arm thick and dragon-shaped, there is a lonely fruit the size of a thumb with purple in red, which is called the Douqu Di Fruit. After the fourth-level peak warrior takes it, the success rate of stimulating the fighting spirit can be increased by 30%, and the physical strength can also be greatly improved.
Guarding the Douquing Earth Fruit was a tenth-order Demonic Beast Swallowing Thunder Python Beast, this awakened wisdom Demonic Beast also found the three people with bad intentions, raised his head vigilantly, moved his body and swam around the Douquing Ground Fruit, but did not take the initiative to attack......
Although Karina is a money fan, she is not blind. Squatting on the ground and planning for two hours, finally gave up absolutely temporarily in a huff. Li Mo's immortal body can restrain the Thunder Swallowing Python's ultimate ultimate move, Thunder Explosion, and the difference in strength between the two sides is too large to balance the Thunder Swallowing Python. Malka's level 6 warrior strength is also on the sidelines.
Li Mo looked at the top of the mountain where there were still three or four hundred meters to go, his eyes flashed, and he proposed to go to the top of the mountain alone. Karina glanced at Li Mo in surprise and nodded in agreement.
After a while, Li Mo came down expressionlessly, first depicted the scene on the top of the mountain, and then proposed a way to seize the Douqu Di Fruit.
After hearing this, Karina exclaimed, "This is not feasible, what if it damages the Douqu Di Fruit?"
Instead, Marka thought about it seriously and said, "I think you can try it, anyway, the damaged Douqu Di Fruit is not yours." ”
Karina took a small sip, unable to refute it.
Judging from the current situation, the three of them would not be able to solve the tenth-order Demonic Beast Devouring Thunder Python, and the Douquing Earth Fruit could only be left to other powerful treasure hunters.
According to the custom of the treasure hunting world, this is a no-brainer. Treasures have always been relied upon by those who are capable.
But Li Mo was not a treasure hunter, and Black Mist City had no conventions, nor had he taught them the truth that treasures were capable of relying on.
Use all means to get what you want, this is the law of survival in Black Mist City.
Eventually, after some discussion, Karina agreed to Li Mo's plan.
The three of them rushed to the top of the mountain, spent two hours on preliminary preparations, and another hour on the plan, and then continued the preparations.
On the other side, the thunder-swallowing python beast with an alarm in his heart kept swimming around the Dou Quenching Earth Fruit.
After another half a month, the fruit will be ripe, and after eating this fruit, its body will be strengthened, and then it will molt, and its strength will be raised to a new level. This has happened three times in a hundred years. This time, it will be as successful as ever.
But the constant sound of rocks cracking overhead made it very uneasy, and these movements were definitely caused by the three weak bugs that had appeared before. What exactly are they doing?
As the top of the food chain in this area, the top of the mountain, it is known. There was nothing at the top of the mountain, except for the eerie orb, of course.
Are they destroying the orb? Hmph, stupid worm, the orb can't even shatter the lightning it spews, how are they going to destroy it?
Hey, no, isn't that ball soft?
The Thunder Swallowing Python straightened up alertly.
Its body was more than ten meters long, nearly four meters tall when it stood upright, its fine, hard indigo scales glittering in the sunlight, and its soft belly easily sensed that something was approaching at a rapid speed. It spat out the snake core quickly.
The roar became louder and louder, the amplitude of the ground shaking became larger and louder, and a stone ball with a diameter of nearly two meters rolled down from the top of the mountain, along a simple track with obvious artificial traces, and flew down and smashed into the Thunder Swallowing Python with a thousand momentum.
Crackling!
The Thunder Swallowing Python swung its golden tail and shattered the stone ball with a single blow.
But the second stone ball came right after, and due to the deviation of the route, it would not touch it, but it would grind into the douquing fruit.
The Thunder Swallowing Python struck decisively and smashed the second stone ball open. If the snake creature has sweat glands, the thunder-swallowing python is already drenched in cold sweat.
The third and fourth came one after the other, but they collided with each other and went off track halfway through. But the fifth stone ball smashed down again.
The Thunder Swallowing Python flicked its tail again and slapped the flying stone ball. Rao is its vajra body, and it can't bear it. For a tenth-order demonic beast, it was easy to shoot a stone away, but it was not an easy task to continuously shoot a stone that was accelerating and rolling down. What's more, it's a snake-like monster that isn't known for its strength.
"Malka, the interval between you and Uncle pushing stones should be moderate, not too long, not too short. When pushing down the stone, you should use soft hands, yes, just like the uncle, otherwise the stone will not roll away from the big snake. ”
At this time, on the top of the mountain, Kailina scolded the female general who commanded the battle, and the two "soldiers" under the commander pushed the polished stones down the mountain.
At her feet, she stepped on such a stone, and the platform at the top of the mountain, which was not very wide, was centered on an oval-shaped black boulder, and was full of such stones. The top of the mountain was full of potholes, and it was obvious that in order to make such stones, the three of them used local materials.
What Limo and Marka had to do was to move the stones to the side of the improvised track and push them down.
And this track is designed with the precious Douqu Di Fruit as the central point.
At this time, the Thunder Swallowing Python also guessed that the stone that suddenly rolled down was caused by Li Mo and the others, but the stone balls rolled down one after another, and it was overwhelmed, how could it have the time to find the three insects to settle accounts.
The sixth missed, the seventh was broken, the eighth was broken, the ninth flew overhead, and luckily, the tenth came again......
The Thunder Swallowing Python opened its mouth and hissed silently, and a pair of cold vertical pupils were almost rounded, not because of exhaustion, but because of anger at the three bugs who had done all this.
Crackling, the tenth was smashed by the Thunder Swallowing Python with a millstone-sized head.
Its tail trembled slightly on the ground.
The eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth continued to roll down, and the quasi-heads were getting higher and higher, almost hitting the Dou Quenching Fruit. After the Thunder Swallowing Python tried its best to knock away the thirteenth stone ball, it was already exhausted.
After not having the strength to stop the next stone ball from rolling, it suddenly turned around, stared greedily at the Douqu Di Fruit, and then angrily glanced at the top of the mountain, then twisted its body and drilled into the snake cave not far from the Dou Quen Di Fruit.
Although it has awakened a certain amount of wisdom, its IQ is not enough for it to realize that the Douqu Di Fruit does not necessarily have to wait until it is fully ripe to eat it.
The stone balls continued to fall, and the Douqu Di Fruit was gradually obscured by the smoke and dust rising from the sky.
The smoke and dust did not pose any effect on the fact that it relied on ground vibration and infrared heat sources to detect enemies. But when its strengths are grasped by the enemy, it becomes a weakness.
Karina, who was dressed in a protective suit with a heat-insulating function, walked into the smoke and dust with such a swagger, and under the cover of the vibration of the entire mountain, she reached out her little hand and took away the Douqu Di Fruit.
Soon, on the top of the mountain.
"Uncle, it's done. Now it's up to you to perform. Karina, who used her bloodline ability, walked out of the shadows with her eyebrows fluttering, and shook the Douqu Di Fruit in her hand.
Seeing that the first phase of the plan was successfully completed, Li Mo smiled slightly, and said to Malka: "You push two more stones and stop." ”
Marka nodded: "The immortal body is very powerful, you will be fine." ”
Li Mo jumped down from the top of the mountain, like an agile cheetah, bouncing through the middle of the mountain rocks. In his eyes, time seemed to have slowed down several times, giving him plenty of time to choose a foothold and change direction.
The plan for the second stage was to completely deal with the Thunder Swallowing Python, so that it would not go crazy and look for trouble with Li Mo and the others after discovering that the Dou Quenching Fruit was missing.
Soon, Li Mo arrived at the cave entrance of the Thunder Swallowing Python and stayed at the position of the Douquing Earth Fruit for a few seconds. Suddenly, the smoke and dust boiled violently, and in the next moment, a hideous huge snake head rushed out of the smoke and dust.
Fortunately, Li Mo was prepared, jumped hard, and continued to run down the mountain.
After discovering the thunder-swallowing python beast that was attacking in a strange way, and finding that the Douqu Di Fruit was missing, he instinctively thought that Li Mo had stolen the fruit, and roared angrily to the sky, flicking his tail and chasing after Li Mo.
The speed of one person and one snake was extremely fast, especially the Thunder Swallowing Python Beast, which was a tenth-order demonic beast, it was like a blue lightning bolt in its rage, and no matter how Li Mo changed his direction, he couldn't shake it off in the slightest.
Although Li Mo had run as hard as he could, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and it was less than ten meters. Just as the Thunder Swallowing Python was considering whether or not to release a lightning attack, Li Mo suddenly accelerated forward, flying high like a spring, and crossed a mountain beam that was not too high.
A trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the Thunder Swallowing Python, this mountain beam was not too high, it could easily pass through it, but in order to prevent the cunning insects from playing tricks, it did not hesitate to bounce up and closely follow Li Mo to fly over the mountain beam.
Li Mo heard the sound of breaking the sky behind him, first raised a smile, and then a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he accelerated his downward fall.
It turned out that behind the mountain beam was a steep cliff. Below the cliff, there is a gray-green pool.
It was Li Mo who had previously plucked the poisonous pool of the dragon's heart purple flower.
One man and one snake fell into the poison pool one after another.
The pool water was only more than a meter deep, and the thunder-swallowing python beast jumped high the moment it touched the pool water, and the thunder flashed all over its body, trying to escape from the poisonous pool with its strong body and speed. But its struggle lasted for a few seconds, and then its whole body stiffened and slowly sank. The poisonous pool of water instantly disintegrated its proud hard scales, soaking through the skin and corroding the inside into a thick mass of water.
This situation also happened to Li Mo, the difference was that when Li Mo's life was threatened, a surging energy was continuously released from his forehead.
This energy seems to be endless, constantly repairing the corroded parts of the pool. The pool water corrodes very quickly, but this energy repairs itself faster, and after each repair, Li Mo's skin and organs develop a certain resistance. When the skin is repaired ten times in a row, it can easily corrode the Thunder Python's poisonous pool water, and it will not cause any damage to it.
If you observe it with a microscope, you will find that Li Mo's skin has evolved into an extremely fine, tough and corrosion-resistant form in the process of continuous decomposition and reorganization, especially 100% resistant to the toxicity and corrosiveness of the pool water. And his eyes and internal organs have also acquired 100% anti-poison and anti-corrosion properties.
To put it simply, after the baptism of poisonous pool water, Li Mo already has an important characteristic of his immortal body: invulnerability to all poisons.
When Li Mo realized that the poison pool water had no effect on him, he thought about it for a while and dived into the poison pool water.
It wasn't long before Karina and Marka arrived at the poison pool. Seeing that the calm lake was silent, and there was no Li Mo on the shore, Karina's face turned white and she looked at Malka in a panic.
"Wait. Marka said in a deep voice.
As soon as the words fell, a circle of ripples rippled on the surface of the water, and Li Mo's figure surfaced on the surface of the pool. In his left hand, he clenched a fist-sized cyan crystal, and in his right hand, he carried a long, unsheathed knife.
"Uncle, here. Karina opened her hands in joy and shouted.
Li Mo saw Karina, smiled slightly, and walked out of the poisonous pool step by step. After going ashore, every step Li Mo took, a string of gray-green water droplets would be sprinkled from his body. These droplets of water touch the hard rock on the shore, easily corroding the rock into a deep pit, dripping into the grass, and a large patch of grass instantly turns yellow.
When Karina and Marka saw this, they took a few steps back.
Malka gasped and said, "The immortal body is really powerful. ”
Karina stroked her full chest and replied in fright: "Uncle's figure is not bad." ”
Malka: "......"
Li Mo, whose hearing was also strengthened, stopped when he heard this, and beckoned to Malka with a little embarrassment: "Take a piece of clothing from your bag and give it to me." ”
His clothes turned into smoke the moment they fell into the pool.
After some adjustments, the three of them set up camp far away from the poison pool. Li Mo and Malka were studying the unsheathed long knife they had picked up from the bottom of the pool, and Karina, who was sitting on the stone, stared at the cyan magic crystal in her hand, and after a battle between heaven and man, she stood up viciously and handed the cyan magic crystal to Li Mo: "Uncle, you killed the thunder-swallowing python, and it deserves to belong to you." ”
The cyan magic crystal is the crystal nucleus of the thunder swallowing python, although it was corroded by poisonous water, the magic crystal in the brain was extremely hard, it was not corroded, but sank to the bottom of the pool and was taken away by Li Mo.
Li Mo took the cyan magic crystal and put it into the bag beside him. The casual attitude made Karina's brows furrow.
That's a rare thunder attribute magic crystal.
It's worth 50 crystals.
"You're very knowledgeable, come and show me this knife. Li Mo said.
"Hmph, what's so good-looking, it's just an ordinary long knife, if you want to have no style, if you want to have no character, it's shiny, white flowers, it's ordinary to the extreme. Karina wrinkled her nose, gave her a casual look, and commented angrily.
Li Mo heard the smell of gunpowder in Karina's tone, but he didn't know which tendon was wrong with this little Lori. Marka was familiar with Karina's psyche, but he wouldn't get involved.
Li Mo pretended to frown and said, "An ordinary long knife will not be intact in the poison pool. ”
As the saying goes, honest people don't deceive people easily, and once they deceive people, they can deceive dead people.
Seeing Li Mo's rigid appearance, Kailina suddenly didn't bother to lose her temper, sighed, took the long knife and looked at it carefully and said: "There are no magic fluctuations, no elemental attributes, it's really ordinary, maybe it was inadvertently added to the corrosion-resistant characteristics in the process of building." ”
In fact, after Li Mo went ashore, she could see at a glance the extraordinaryness of this knife.
The corrosiveness of the poison pool is so strong, even if the epic equipment falls into it, I am afraid it will be damaged, this long knife is actually shining as bright, and the level will never be lower.
So she took the long knife from Li Mo's hand as soon as possible, and put it aside seemingly inadvertently, but she tried her best to test it.
The conclusion drawn is depressing, the knife is really ordinary.
"Perhaps, this knife is too high-end, so high-end that we can't even see its high-end. Karina pouted in comfort.
Her judgment is based on her knowledge and experience, the more advanced the weapon, the easier it is to detect extraordinary characteristics, just as the stars can never hide the brilliance of the bright moon, epic, legendary-level equipment, even if it is severely damaged, the elemental fluctuations contained in its texture are still clear and clear.
But this long knife was as clear and transparent as clear water, without a trace of the obscure fluctuations of high-level equipment. That's why Karina thinks it's ordinary.
"Well, that's how it should be. Li Mo took back the long knife, shone at the bright blade of the knife on the shiny bald head, nodded and said.
His hair was corroded in the poison pool.
Karina rolled her eyes when she heard this: Stupid uncle, I can't even hear words of comfort.
However, Li Mo's thoughts, how could she have understood.
