Chapter 45: The Devil's Fruit
"Boom"
"Woohoo! Alack! ”
"Squeak!!"
The ape grove is near the center.
The macaque miasma is pervasive and hazy.
But the fog was not calm, and sometimes the shadows of trees dozens of feet high collapsed, and occasionally mixed with the terrible cries of apes.
In the depths of what should have been a quiet and peaceful forest, a song of killing is singing.
"Poof!"
As the last tall green-faced ape corpse fell from a height, the forest finally regained its tranquility.
"Da, da, da."
There was a sound of footsteps, and a middle-aged man with a pale and gloomy face wrapped in a black robe, carrying a clean and shiny bone knife, slowly walked to the bloody ape corpse.
Suddenly, he slowly plunged the bone knife into his thigh, and there was already a gap in his pants at the thigh that matched the width of the bone knife.
The bone knife quickly stabbed into the thigh, but it did not cut through the flesh as expected.
It didn't come out from the other end, as if melting, and the bone knife slowly melted into the somewhat dark thigh complexion.
In the end, the bone knife disappeared completely, and a black sunflower pattern faintly flashed in the gap exposed by the thigh clothes, and then slowly faded away.
Lifting the two halves of the tall green-faced ape corpse with both hands, the gloomy and fair-skinned middle-aged man slowly walked deeper into the mist.
As the man deepened, the macaque miasma became thicker and thicker, gradually taking on a hint of colorful and strange colors.
An abnormal flush welled up on his face, and the corpse of the green ape in his hand was touched by this colorful miasma, and the white hair gradually turned black, as if it began to slowly decay.
The man walked for a while before stopping, then threw the ape's corpse forward.
There was no immediate sound of falling to the ground, and there seemed to be a large crater ahead, and the ape's corpse cut through the thick miasma and fell inside.
The green-faced ape's eyes could be faintly seen before he died, and they were full of human irritability, hatred, and ...... Fear.
After a few breaths, the corpse landed somewhere with a snap.
Its blood-red eyes were still glaring ahead, and following its line of sight, through a trace of the thick miasma that had been cut, a corner of the pit was vaguely seen:
Countless green-faced ape corpses like it, carved with a desperate dull gaze, silently rotting in this deep pit.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
One after another the corpses of the green-faced apes were thrown down again, and the miasma of the macaques in the forest seemed to be thicker.
The man did all this quickly, and then ran out, and when he ran to a place where the miasma was no longer colorful, he gasped for a while, and his face was unusually ruddy before recovering a little.
"Well done."
Some feminine voices came from the shadows of the trees, and an arm wrapped in shadows slowly poked out of the shadows and touched the white face of the middle-aged gloomy man.
"Hiss~"
A mask was torn from his face, and along the arm that had torn off the mask, another man emerged from the shadows, also wrapped in a black robe, with a slightly handsome face and thin lips.
Then he put the mask on his face, and the features on it changed for a while, and finally fixed it on the face of a very handsome young man.
"Whew~" He exhaled deeply, as if he dared to take a big breath at this time.
After the original middle-aged gloomy man's face on the opposite side was removed, he revealed a slightly dark and rough face, like a young man from a peasant family, he frowned and glanced at the other party, and his breathing seemed to be a little difficult.
Take out a few detoxification pills from the black storage bag and pour them into your mouth, then pull up the black cloth around your neck and cover the corners of your mouth.
"Hmph, are you dissatisfied?" The handsome man after the change saw the other party's slightly frowning brows, and actually reprimanded in a low voice: "Mako-sama is not here, in order of Xuankui, I should rule this place." ”
"Don't say that I have a good heart, I will lend you a thousand faces to deal with the colorful miasma, even if I don't borrow you, I will ask you to go, and you have to go!"
After the swarthy man swallowed the medicine, he felt a little better dizziness in this miasma, he bowed his head, hid the coldness in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Don't dare!" ”
"Hmph, it's good to know." The handsome man's stern expression slowly faded, and he asked with a smile, "How is the growth of the ghost fruit?" ”
"The miasma is too dense to be seen, but it has been continuously throwing the green-faced ape corpse in, and the nearby blue-faced ape group has been much smaller."
"Hehe, there are fewer monkeys, so I will search for other places in the forest, and even a first-order demon beast can stop you? I just went to the edge of the fog to take a look, and in two or three days, the whole ape forest will be blocked by the miasma. In this way, it is only five or six days' work, and the ghost fruit is about to ripen. ”
"When the time comes, I want you to go down to the ten thousand monkey pit to pick the ghost fruit, are you willing to go?" The handsome man said with a smile on his face.
The 10,000 monkey pit is the thickest place of the miasma, and there are ghost fruits growing, that is, with a thousand faces, it can relieve the poisonous gas, and I am afraid that it will be more auspicious to go down.
The swarthy man raised his head instantly, and the two of them looked at each other directly.
The smell of gunpowder in the air is on the verge of being touched.
"Hahaha." The handsome man suddenly laughed, "Look at you, you're not a loyal species. ”
"Don't worry, when I went to the forest to investigate just now, I happened to find a few big white sheep of the Purple Jade Sect. Among them, there is a Qi cultivation level of about nine layers, and we still have two Xuan Aoi seeds on our bodies, and I will control her to pick them for me. ”
"Will there be an accident? You and I have only practiced the eighth layer of qi, and there are injuries in our bodies, in case we delay the response to Lord Mako......"
"Hmph, if it weren't for Lord Mako's insistence on taking that Purple River Car to refine the medicine and alarming the Purple Jade Sect, we would have hid here like lost dogs? Not to mention, when I take the Ghost Fruit, I will be the new true son!
When the time comes, Mai, you will be the number one fake under my command. The handsome man glanced at the dark-skinned man with a warning look in his eyes:
"As for that late stage of Qi cultivation, hehe, didn't I say that we still have two Xuan Aoi seeds?"
......
Su Xing and Yue Du walked southwest along the fog and were silent for a while.
"Lin Zhongxian?" But it was Yue Du who spoke in a low voice.
Su Xing nodded, only he knew that this was not the immortal physique in the forest, but the miracle brought by the spiritual root of Fusang.
Even the Fuso, where the legendary Golden Crow lives, is not less attractive to other animals. Later, when he chose the task, including Xianzhu Town, where the demon beasts caused chaos last time, and the ape wood forest that drove away the miasma, he considered the two factors of "forest" and "demon beast" in advance.
"Sasa!"
Suddenly, there was a movement behind a low bush in front of me.
Yue Du glanced back at Su Xing, signaled silence, and the two slowly walked towards the place where the movement came.
As they approached, the stumbling movement disappeared again, and the air was silent except for the faint white mist that filled the air.
Yue Du didn't know when a few more silver needles appeared between his fingers, and the tips of the needles glowed with a faint green light, as if they had been smeared with poison.
Suddenly, she brushed aside the bushes, her figure paused, and then turned back with a somewhat solemn face and motioned for Su Xing to come forward and check.
Su Xing noticed that the silver needle on the other party's fingertip had disappeared at some point, so he took two steps forward.
Behind the bushes, an old green-faced ape, whose body had been cut off by some kind of sharp blade, was lying on the ground, silent.
There wasn't much blood left under him, and when he looked ahead, he was red all the way.
It seems that the blood has dried up on the road.
