Chapter 7: The Spirit Infant Fruit
The backyard of the Earth Immortal Temple.
The feast took place under the canopy of the Infant Fruit Tree.
The mountain spirits and monsters sat down separately.
Zhu Xia and Baimu were in the top position, and the rest were sitting on both sides.
Approaching the ripening stage, the aura released by the Spirit Infant Fruit Tree was so amazing that a hazy spiritual mist manifested in the moonlight, even if it was just a puff, it made ordinary monsters fascinated.
Their longing eyes have long been locked on the purple-colored fruit at the top of the canopy, glowing with milky white fluorescent, and those with poor self-control are even more drooling, and they can only barely hide it by drinking and wiping their sleeves.
As for what was hidden under the Spirit Infant Fruit Tree, it was impossible to detect it with their strength.
"You are invited by me to come to the Earth Immortal Temple today, it really makes the humble house bloom, and now there is still half an hour before the fruit is ripe, come, raise a glass and drink together."
Hyakmu Daisen adjusted his posture in his position, raised his wine glass, and the other youkai hurriedly responded.
Just sitting down is obviously not a feast.
As the first glass of wine fell, a glamorous fox demon appeared on the porch on the left side of the courtyard.
The open space in front of the Infant Tree is their stage.
The slender waist is hemped, the loose robe collapses a little as they dance, revealing a large area of pink skin, and there is a special orchestra next to it playing flirtatious tunes, with the aura overflowing in the air, which makes a group of monsters want to enter the Feifei.
The pink mist crept into the air.
For a while, even the Hundred Eyes Immortal, the owner of the Earth Immortal Temple, was ignored.
Zhu Xia looked at the monsters that were gradually dissolving in front of her, her face was calm, her eyes suddenly turned to Baimu on the side, and asked bluntly,
"I remember that my senior brother used to hate the monsters who were most disgusted with wandering and indulgent creatures, how did he suddenly change his character?"
is also a demon king, even if it has been sealed for decades, Zhu Xia's Taoism has not been curtailed, and she has been aware of the strange atmosphere in the Earth Immortal Temple since the moment she entered the door, and quickly realized that this banquet is probably not just to celebrate the ripening of the spirit infant fruit.
In fact, at the same time as she asked this sentence, the transparent spider quietly crawled out of the cuff and fell into her palm.
All you need is mana.
The little spider that was placed in Yan Jing's hand would immediately give a warning.
"It's just a trick...... Senior sister, I think you can sense that my state is already in chaos, and the erosion of evil energy over the years has made me miserable. ”
In the face of Zhu Xia's inquiry, Baimu did not hide it, looked at the monsters in front of him who were already immersed in singing and dancing, and said in a low voice,
"I once thought that by finding the candle dragon, I would exchange it for the opportunity to transform the extraterritorial heavenly demons, and during that time, what I did was for you to see, and I fought bloody battles with those cultivators, and made a big name, but the immortal fruit lured the candle dragon was just our wishful thinking, and in the end it was all useless, and since then, the erosion of evil energy has deepened day by day."
I said it before.
The more powerful the beings, the more they are corrupted by the evil energy.
Naturally, the Hundred Eyes Great Immortal is no exception.
The idea of killing the candle dragon in exchange for a chance to transform failed, and he had to passively endure the evil erosion while looking for other solutions.
"How nice it would have been if you had woken up more than ten years earlier...... It's a pity that the world is impermanent, and now I am in a dead end, and there is no turning back. ”
Thinking of the slate that Zhu Xia just mentioned that could absorb evil energy, Baimu said with emotion.
"Can the Spirit Infant Fruit Tree help you complete the transformation?"
Recalling her past experience, Zhu Xia's expression was also a little calm, and she asked instead.
Since Hyamu chose to hold this banquet at this last moment, it is enough to prove that he has invested his last hope in this.
"No, you also know the effect of the Spirit Infant Fruit, it can only have the effect of washing the pulse and cutting the marrow, what I really like is them!"
His eyes locked on the celebratory scene in front of him, and his eyes flashed coldly, and he said coldly,
"These mountain spirits and monsters are all guys who have risen in the Peng'an Realm in the past hundred years, all of them are full of evil, I not only want to eliminate these tumors for the Peng'an Realm today, but also use this to achieve a new body and suppress the evil energy in the body."
"What are you going to do?"
Zhu Xia asked.
"You don't need to know, junior sister, I only have one request, help me guard the Earth Immortal Temple later, don't let these monsters escape, as a reward, the spirit baby fruit will be shared with you."
Without revealing his plan to Zhu Xia, Baimu raised his eyes to look at the fruit at the top of the canopy, and said without looking back.
Without waiting for Zhu Xia to give an answer, Baimu suddenly got up.
The singing and dancing in the arena suddenly stopped, the fox girls withdrew one after another, and the monsters sensed that the critical moment was coming, and looked at the Spirit Infant Fruit Tree with a look of anticipation, and the fruit on it was the treasure they needed to go further.
Until a certain moment.
High in the canopy, there is a spiritual light, and a strange fragrance overflows.
"I have already received your congratulatory gifts, and these spirit baby fruits are my gifts, take them!"
With a wave of long sleeves, a wisp of wind swept up, picking several spirit baby fruits.
The fruit about the size of two fists and shaped like a curled baby was sent into the arms of the monsters in the breeze, and their eyes immediately focused on Hyakme, who was also holding a spirit baby fruit.
"Senior sister, don't forget what I just explained, after eating the fruit, leave the Earth Immortal Temple and guard the gate for me."
Finally, with a whispered command, a smile appeared on Baimu's face again, and he picked up the spirit baby fruit in his hand and signaled to the monsters present, and then opened his mouth to eat one-third, and swallowed the rest in his mouth.
The juice overflowing from the corners of his mouth didn't even have time to drip before it turned into a rich aura in mid-air and dissipated.
Seeing that the Hundred Eyes Immortal himself ate one first, the demonic energy on his body was surging and there was a faint tendency to go further.
The rest of the monsters had no scruples, and couldn't wait to stuff the spirit baby fruit in their hands into their mouths, and the juice from their chews splashed everywhere.
The majestic aura suddenly erupted, causing a gust of wind to roll up in the courtyard, and then poured into the bodies of these monsters at an extremely fast speed, causing their demonic power to rise again and again.
Unlike the Hundred Eyes Immortal who has been cultivating for many years, he can easily devour the Spirit Infant Fruit without changing his face.
It was not easy for these monsters to digest the Spirit Infant Fruit, and it would soon be difficult to even maintain the appearance of a human being, and they could only manifest their original form in the churning demonic power.
The nearly five-meter-tall giant armadillo curled up in a ball, its scales trembling incessantly, and the dark yellow earth aura poured out from the ground, enveloping it; The giant composed of stones knelt on the ground, and its original gray-white body gradually shattered under the washing of the aura, glowing with a jade-colored luster; The black and white anaconda erected its upper body, roared at the Bright Moon Wheel from afar, and swallowed the moon to balance the energy in its body......
In just a few minutes, the courtyard wall of the Earth Immortal Temple became the scene of a group of demons dancing wildly.
"Senior sister, why don't you eat yet?"
Baimu looked at the scene in front of him, very satisfied, and then turned his head to look at Zhu Xia, seeing that she was holding the Spirit Infant Fruit for a long time and did not move, he couldn't help frowning and asked.
"I just woke up from the seal of Zhusi Cave, it is the time when I need to recuperate, although the spirit baby fruit is good, but I am afraid that it will not be replenished, and I want to wait until I go back to cultivate for a few days, and then enjoy this spirit fruit."
Holding the spirit fruit in her hand and throwing it lightly, Zhu Xia responded with a smile.
If you look closely, you will find that there are two fine embossed on the top of the Spirit Infant Fruit in her hand, and if Yan Jing did not control the light wind to interrupt her movements, perhaps this Spirit Infant Fruit has already entered the mouth.
Zhu Xia asked herself if she knew a lot about the Spirit Infant Fruit, plus Baimu ate one first, she thought there was no problem, but she also believed in Yan Jing, since the latter risked being found out to stop it, there was a reason why she thought about it.
"Oh, that's right...... It's okay, you can go out first, and I'll thank you again when it's over. ”
The demonic aura that lingered around Baimu became more and more powerful, and it seemed that something was squirming under the robe, the robe kept trembling, and he glanced at the spirit infant fruit in Zhu Xia's hand, and said with a weird smile on his somewhat stiff face.
Nodding, Zhu Xia put away the spirit baby fruit, turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate, but before she could take a few steps, a strong sense of crisis came to her heart, her face changed suddenly, and she turned around and pinched out the trick.
The bottom of her eyes glowed red, and the frost spread from the soles of Zhu Xia's feet.
Several ice ridges rushed straight forward, only to be smashed in the air by two thick black narrow arthropods halfway through.
"Senior sister, why are you trying to attack me?"
A low, hoarse voice rang out, and a thick, slurry-like gray mist spread out in the depths of the compound.
"It's true that I haven't been out and about for decades, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid, brother, it's not interesting to ask knowingly."
】
Zhu Xia's expression was calm, and her eyes looked at the hundred eyes that were constantly rising under the gray mist in front of her, and her body was constantly changing, and said coldly,
"Why don't you take a step back, I'm going to leave now, when nothing happened, how about it?"
"Senior sister, it can only be said that it is not the right time for you to wake up, and there is no you in tonight's plan, who let you send it to the door by yourself, and even the evil energy in your body has been swept away, which is the most suitable nourishment...... You don't understand, how long I've been waiting for this day! ”
The terrifying demonic aura rose to the sky, and the flesh belonging to the human body continued to fall like broken porcelain, revealing the crooked-eyed children underneath.
Its arms cracked, turning into two giant pincers covered with graduals, and the chest was directly cracked, and the fangs covered with flesh and blood protruded from it, and finally the whole person turned into a centipede head with a diameter of more than three meters and full of eyes, except for the bloated Taoist face in front of its forehead, which was wrapped in black lines.
As for its lower body, it directly changed into the appearance of a centipede under the cover of gray mist.
Entangled in the courtyard, squirming incessantly.
Feeling the power coming from Baimu's body, Zhu Xia was forced to mobilize all her strength, she knew very well that the former was deeply eroded by evil energy, and her strength might have been greatly improved.
They are commensurate with brothers and sisters, which actually implies the strength between the two.
Zhu Xia has been sleeping for decades, and her cultivation has been neglected a lot, but Baimu's current state is at its peak.
Under the advantages of one another, now facing the top will inevitably fall into the disadvantage, and this is also the reason why Baimu dares to do it directly.
Maybe you can rely on those monsters to get around?
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the monsters next to her, and Zhu Xia was counting on them to delay some time for herself.
However, when I saw the former's state clearly, my heart sank again.
Not long ago, their strength had risen sharply because of eating the Spirit Infant Fruit, and the monsters who had begun to wash their pulses and cut the marrow were completely frozen in place as if they had been immobilized.
A large number of blood-colored branches grew all over their bodies, frantically draining their life force.
"This group of pickled beasts, where is the spirit baby fruit..... Oh, even I don't deserve it! ”
Half of Hyakme's attention was on these youkai, and the hideous centipede head swayed, and his tone became more and more crazy.
"It looks like there's something wrong with the fruit tree."
Zhu Xia immediately guessed the key and turned her head to look at the Spirit Infant Fruit Tree.
This spiritual plant lost the blinding method cast by the hundred eyes in advance, where was there still the previous spiritual light, but it was filled with an evil and obscure aura, and the bottom of the trunk was filled with blood-colored lines, and countless white bones were piled up between the several bulging roots!
Baimu's original idea was obviously to use the Spirit Infant Fruit to obtain the opportunity to transform, so he fought so desperately in Zhongshan City in exchange for a fairy fruit seed.
I never thought that this tree had been eroded by evil energy in the past hundred years.
Not to mention that it has long lost its original effect, it has transformed into an evil in the past hundred years.
"It's my life that shouldn't be extinguished, although the alienated spirit baby fruit tree has lost its previous effect, it has also transformed into another existence, as long as each spirit baby fruit matures, it will immediately become a parasite, devour flesh and blood, and grow a descendant."
As he spoke, Hyakmu grabbed the armadillo that was about to turn into dry bones, and gnawed at the densest part of the branches at its skull, where a strange fruit like a heart had grown.
"As long as I can eat these descendants, I can directly devour all of their Taoism and bless myself...... Ha~Goohe~ This is an opportunity given to me by God, eat, as long as I can keep eating, I will become the new demon king of Dongzhan Zhou. ”
The flesh and blood residues hung along the gaps between the fangs, Baimu's body trembled more and more, the knobular limbs hidden in the gray mist continued to expand, the twisted tentacles poked out from the gaps, and the eyes all over the head suddenly expanded, and the dark red blood streaks filled it, finally locking on Zhu Xia, who had just frozen and crushed the Spirit Infant Fruit.
Compared with those monsters next to her, Zhu Xia, as another demon king in the Peng'an realm, is the real complement in the eyes of Baimu.
Dozens of tentacles flocked to the remaining youkai.
Hyakmu is going to take advantage of the fact that the parasites have not grown, and plunder all their paths first.
It couldn't wait to stuff the Spirit Infant Fruit into Zhu Xia's mouth, and then swallow it completely.
It's just that before these tentacles could get close to the monsters to be slaughtered, the dark blue flames had already ignited them all first, turning them into several torches, and burning all the corpses and parasites.
This sudden change made Hyakmu unable to react for a while.
Until he saw the particularly familiar figure revealed between the blue torches, his expression was stagnant at first, and then became extremely hideous and terrifying, roaring filial piety to kill the past,
"You're still alive and dead!"
