This time in his cultivation, Xu Xian had no distractions, and he didn't do anything except absorb the spiritual energy and transform it into his own spiritual power.

Although it would take a lot of time and might delay him in searching for more spiritual plants in Tangshan, Xu Xian knew that if he sharpened his knife and cut wood, if he took his strength one step further, after going out of the Golden Bead Space, whether it was searching for resources or snatching the Divine Fruit in the evening, he would get twice the result with half the effort.

An hour passed, and at this time, the aura around Xu Xian's body continued to become thinner, but it would soon be quickly filled by the aura in other areas.

In Xu Xian's perception, the invisible spiritual power container in his body became more and more full, and new spiritual energy was constantly transformed into spiritual power, and it was quickly filled into the container.

Another hour passed, and the space became extremely quiet.

Zhu Zhen, who was not far away, signed a soul contract with Hu Hu "willingly" under Hu Hu's "kind words and persuasion".

Seeing that Xu Xian was still concentrating on cultivation, Hu Hu resisted the urge to go to Xu Xian to ask for credit, and instructed the other demon beasts not to make any noise, and try not to disturb Xu Xian's cultivation.

At a certain moment, Hu Hu and Zhu Zhen, the two first-order peaks, sensed a disordered aura fluctuation coming from the direction of Xu Xian's cultivation at the same time, but soon, this fluctuation gradually subsided.

And Xu Xian still closed his eyes cross-legged, quietly cultivating......

......

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Dense gunshots rang out, and the moment the gunshots fell, there was a "poof" sound, and a huge monster beast smashed to the ground.

Footsteps sounded, and a team of nearly ten people quickly ran towards the fallen demon beast.

"Huh——, it's so dangerous, if it's a little later, the Spirit Cultivation Fruit will be swallowed by this guy."

Looking at the demon beast on the ground that had not disappeared, Qiao Zisu breathed a sigh of relief, and then bent down and picked the nurturing spirit fruit on a spirit plant in front of the demon beast.

"Remember, next time, don't rush to get the benefits, you have to mend the knife first."

Lu Yuan took a step forward, and the long knife in his hand went straight into the heart of the demon beast.

As the blade entered its body, the demon beast on the ground trembled twice, and soon lost its movement.

Seeing this, Qiao Zisu looked at the corpse of the demon beast in surprise and said, "This demon beast is only a third-order strength at most, right? So many *** went down and didn't get killed? It's too rough and thick."

Zhou Qi on the side walked to the corpse of the demon beast, raised his foot and kicked it twice, and pouted: "It seems that the gun can only be used a little bit against the third-order demon beast, and the second-order and upwards have to use heavy firepower."

Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "The demon beasts above the second order are not only rough and thick, but their speed and reaction are also extremely fast, unless they are taken by surprise, it is difficult to kill the demon beasts above the second order."

"That's right, even this demon beast, if it weren't for its focus on the spirit fruit, maybe it wouldn't have been able to do so much damage to it just now."

Looking at the demon beast corpse on the ground, Zhou Qi nodded in agreement.

Qiao Zisu also raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that we still have to improve our strength, and it will be more and more difficult to deal with demon beasts with hot weapons in the future."

Indeed, as Lu Yuan said, demon beasts with strength above the third rank are either rough and thick and difficult to kill, or their speed and reaction are extremely fast, and it is difficult to attack the other party when the opponent's attention is concentrated.

And whether you can use a thermal weapon to cause damage to a demon beast depends on the person who uses the thermal weapon.

If ordinary people or cultivators with low strength are allowed to use hot weapons to deal with demon beasts, with their eyesight and reaction speed, it will be difficult to cause damage to demon beasts even if they use hot weapons, and even a shuttle of bullets may not be able to touch the fur of demon beasts.

Therefore, in addition to weapons of mass destruction, if you want to cause some damage to the monster, the person who uses the weapon must at least be a person with the same strength as the monster, at least the eyesight and reaction speed cannot be weaker than the monster.

And a person of such strength, instead of using ordinary hot weapons to deal with demon beasts, he can use his own cultivator strength to fight demon beasts.

As for weapons of mass destruction, at least in Tangshan

In the environment, whether it is damage to mountains and forests or accidental injury to humans, it is doomed to be unable to allow weapons of mass destruction to enter the field.

Qiao Zisu was very optimistic and said, "We have benefited a lot from this spiritual rain today, and we have also harvested so many spiritual fruits, after going back, we will definitely be able to improve our strength by a lot, at least after I go back this time, I have the confidence to improve my strength to the first rank!"

Zhou Qi on the side glanced at Qiao Zisu, who was full of confidence, and couldn't help but quip: "Zisu, aren't you afraid that our land team will swallow all these spirit fruits privately, and the spirit fruits distributed to you are not enough for you to break through the realm?"

Before Qiao Zisu could refute, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, and went up and kicked Zhou Qi's ass: "Fuck off, since you said so, your share of the spirit fruit will be confiscated when you go back."

After Zhou Qi finished saying that, he was on guard against Lu Yuan's "revenge", but his strength hadn't reacted at all, and Lu Yuan's foot had already kicked heavily on his ass.

While rubbing his aching buttocks, Zhou Qi bared his teeth and grinned, and said aggrievedly: "Don't be a Lu team, I'm just joking with Zisu to relax my mood, if you make such a ruthless hand, your ass will be kicked open by you."

Lu Yuan didn't buy it at all, and gave him a blank look and said, "Do you think this is the time to relax? If you have this time to joke here, why don't you go and search for more resources."

As he spoke, Lu Yuan looked up in the direction of the top of Tangshan Mountain: "By the way, there is not much time left for us to search for the Spirit Fruit, in another two or three hours, the Divine Cultivation Fruit will almost ripen, whether it is to compete for the Divine Cultivation Fruit or to ensure the safety of the people as much as possible, we must go over."

After a pause, his gaze swept towards Zhou Qi and the others: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, Tangshan's vision this time, not only our Jinling, but also several surrounding cities have also come to a lot of demon beasts and cultivators, and it can even be said that the existence of the entire Jiangnan Province is now at the top of the strength of Tangshan, and the danger we will face at that time will definitely be much greater than the few dangers we encountered before, before leaving Tangshan, don't let your guard down."

At the beginning of speaking, Lu Yuan also brought some deliberate thoughts to Zhou Qi, but as he spoke, his expression became more and more serious, although he had not yet gone to the area where the Divine Cultivation Fruit appeared, but he could already think of the bloody storm that would happen at that time, and his mood couldn't help but become heavy.

After listening to Lu Yuan's words, Zhou Qi couldn't help but pout: "If you want me to say that those cultivators with low strength should go back early, now that Tangshan is so dangerous everywhere, it is not only difficult for them to gain anything if they stay here, but if they encounter danger and are bumped into by us, it will also increase our workload, purely to find something for us to do."

Zhou Qi's words were inspired by feelings, in such a long time after entering Tangshan, their Ling'an Bureau team alone had encountered more than a dozen incidents in which weaker cultivators were almost killed by demon beasts, as the Ling'an Bureau, which was in charge of cultivators' safety incidents, they had to stop the process of searching for Tangshan's resources and help those cultivators get out of danger.

Qiao Zisu also raised his eyebrows, and echoed, "If it weren't for helping those cultivators get out of trouble, maybe the number of spirit fruits we have harvested now has doubled."

Seeing that the two of them began to complain, Lu Yuan, as the captain, spoke, "Don't forget our identity, we are not near Tangshan specifically to obtain resources, and protecting the safety of cultivators is also within the scope of our duties."

But then, Lu Yuan's voice changed and said, "But you don't need to have such a big opinion, this mission has been completed, and you will definitely be indispensable to go back, not only the spirit fruit found in Tangshan, but also the results of the research institute will probably appear in the mission reward."

Hearing Lu Yuan's last half of the sentence, Qiao Zisu and Zhou Qi, who were still frowning, immediately glanced at each other and smiled.

Beside the two of them, after the other team members heard Lu Yuan's words, they also showed excited expressions and began to look forward to the rewards after the return trip.
