Through the forest sea, climbing the cliffs, killing soul beasts, and collecting plants, two months passed in a blink of an eye.

A sturdy figure galloped and jumped between the sharp cliffs, his bronzed skin shining in the warm sun of late winter, and glanced at the deep mountains behind him, and Qin Tao swept towards the cliff halfway up the mountainside.

After two months of training, his strength has been improved to the fifth order, and his skills are agile, even without the help of soul power, he is not inferior to the third order soul master.

The scars on his body silently interpreted Qin Tao's hardships during this time, especially the long scar on his back, which loomed in the crack of his shirt, and it looked terrifying.

The extremely cold winter quietly left with the passage of time, the spring of the revival of all things sprouted in the forest, and the continent of life ushered in a new year.

Half a month later, Qin Tao returned to the Mamba village.

The smoke wafts lazily in the village room, and in the far corner of the hill still sits a quiet hut, and nothing seems to have changed. After resting for the night, Qin Tao went to Wen Cheng's house early the next morning.

The appearance of the divine tree was getting closer and closer, and the clansmen who had gone out returned in turn, and judging from the expression on Wen Cheng's face, it seemed that they had gained a lot.

After drinking a cup of tea, Wen Cheng spread out a map in front of Qin Tao, and the old finger stopped at a place where a thick black line was drawn, and said with a little excitement: "Brother Qin, this is an abyss, according to the returning clansmen, the dream grass there is very special. ”

Qin Tao carefully looked at the place Wen Cheng was pointing to, it was the junction of the Haoling Empire and the Longze Empire, and the part that belonged to the East Needle Forest was a meadow.

"Grandpa Wencheng, do you think the Divine Tree will appear here?"

"It may be a big surname, but it can't be said to be certain. Wen Cheng said cautiously.

Qin Tao nodded slightly, put away the map, and said calmly: "Grandpa Wen, there is still half a month to go, I want to cultivate first and prepare." ”

Wen Cheng nodded and smiled: "It's okay, just let me know if you need to know." ”

Half a month is a very short time for a cultivator, and Qin Tao kept trying to attack the sixth order during this period, but he repeatedly failed. According to Zhou Ling, Qin Tao should have encountered a bottleneck. Whenever you encounter this situation, you should calm down and soothe your mood, otherwise it will be difficult to make a breakthrough.

In the spring when it was warm and cold, the night was clear, the stars were shining, and the village was quiet.

The dim candlelight flickered, the charcoal stove was warm with hot water, and the white mist was lazily rising, Wen Cheng and Qin Tao were sitting opposite each other on the soft cotton couch, talking about something.

On the table in front of him is a delicate box, carved from rosewood in an ancient style, and the lid of the box is inlaid with an emerald green gemstone, faintly emitting a gentle soft light.

Pushing the box, Wen Cheng lowered his voice and said, "Brother Qin, I have a treasure for you, I hope it can be useful to you." ”

Qin Tao was stunned, immediately waved his hand, and postponed: "Grandpa Wen, you and the clansmen have been very good to me, and this is another treasure to give, how can I afford it." ”

Ke Wencheng did not persuade him, but opened the box straightforwardly. The soft light suddenly floated out, and the room was instantly much brighter, and the aromatic breath came to his nose, making Qin Tao feel refreshed.

Looking down, I saw that it was a round pearl, with two halos, one red and one blue, swimming in it, constantly emitting a special light. The two energies of fire and ice were full and flowing, and Qin Tao couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

Ice and fire are incompatible, and there is a characteristic of mutual exclusion in nature, and this pearl can reconcile the two energies, I have to say that it is definitely a rare treasure.

Without waiting for Qin Tao to ask, Zhou Ling's voice suddenly sounded: "Ice and Fire Heart, really Ice Fire Heart! I didn't expect that there was this treasure in the Mamba clan, it's really tsk-tsk......"

"This baby's name is this. Qin Tao's heart was a little trance-like.

Seeing that Qin Tao was stunned, Wen Cheng smiled with satisfaction and said, "Brother Qin, this thing is called 'Ice and Fire Heart', and it is a rare innate treasure for fire and ice cultivators. I see that Brother Qin has been troubled by the breakthrough during this time, so I decided to give this thing to you. ”

Qin Tao hurriedly shook his head: "Absolutely not, Grandpa Wen, the kid knows that this Ice and Fire Heart is precious, how can I let you spend so much." ”

The attitude is very resolute, he still understands the truth of reactive merit, even if he is very eager, but he must rely on his own efforts to obtain, and must not take advantage of others.

Wen Cheng pushed the box straight in front of Qin Tao and insisted: "Brother Qin, my clan depends on you, so don't postpone it." ”

The old patriarch's repeated insistence made Qin Tao difficult, if the other party was a great evil, he would take it mercilessly, but in the face of the simple Mamba people, he was absolutely helpless.

"Tao'er, just accept it first, the old patriarch is sincere, if you don't accept it, you will live up to his kindness. Zhou Ling opened his mouth to persuade.

Qin Tao sighed lightly, nodded slightly, tears flashed in his eyes, and said, "Grandpa Wen, your kind boy will never forget." After that, he bowed to Wen Cheng.

"I, Qin Tao, swear to the sky, I will not be a man if I don't regain the seat for the Mamba clan!" every word shook Wen Cheng's heart, and for a while, the old clan elder burst into tears and was very excited.

......

There were still three days before the appearance of the Divine Tree, and Qin Tao decided to set off. According to Wencheng's arrangement, four Mamba people followed, who were responsible for guiding and taking care of the way. However, before leaving, there was more Kia. According to what Wencheng said, Qi Ya insisted on going together, but the old patriarch was stubborn but agreed to come down.

After saying goodbye to the clansmen who saw them off, Qin Tao and his party left the village.

"This trip is too dangerous, how could your grandfather agree to let you come?" Qin Tao asked Qi Ya as he walked.

Qi Ya jumped happily, with an excited look on her face, and said happily: "I naturally have my own way!"

"Clever ghost!" Qin Tao scolded with a smile. Before leaving, he had promised the patriarch to take good care of Kia, so now he had to pay attention to Kia's every move, although it was troublesome, it was a kind of relaxation.

Thanks to the Mamba people's familiarity with the terrain, they soon reached the edge of the meadow safely.

It was spring, the young grass sprouted, and the vast grassland was covered with verdant greenery and the withered yellow of winter, and it was full of vitality as far as the eye could see.

At the edge of the area was a lush forest, and at this time, Qin Tao and the others were sitting under a big tree to rest, preparing to go straight to the abyss after recovering their strength.

However, just as a few people relaxed their vigilance, a dark shadow quietly emerged behind the tree.

(The third more offered, ask for collection, ask for recommendation, all kinds of request!)
