Chapter 1257: The Nether Tree and the Demon Ape
The Nether Tree in the Dark Moon Canyon is said to have bloomed for 500 years and fruited for 1,000 years.
The Nether Spirit Fruit was quite precious, and it could fundamentally change the monk's physique and improve his cultivation, as well as many wonderful uses.
The three tasks that Lin Feng had previously received in the Contribution Hall of the Youshan Sect were slightly easier, which was to collect three Nether Spirit Fruits and go back.
"Originally, I thought that the task of the sect was not so difficult, and I could leave many ghost spirit fruits by myself, as long as three of them were taken to hand over the task. But that's not the case, there isn't even a legendary ghost fruit on the Nether Tree in front of you. Lin Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He looked up, but saw that in front of him was an ancient tree more than 2,000 feet tall, exuding a strong ghostly and ruining aura, and it would take at least six people to enclose it. According to the introduction of the task on the jade pendant of his identity, Lin Feng immediately recognized this tree as the Nether Tree.
The branches and leaves are dark purple, and many of them seem to be condensed with dried blood.
It was already quite calm, and under the dim and desolate moonlight, it became more and more like an ancient demon standing in the canyon, and it was terrifying to look at.
Of course, Lin Feng was used to seeing too many demons, so he didn't care about such a terrifying ancient tree.
On top of this tall ancient nether tree, there are only two crystal white flowers, so weak that the wind can't help but be scattered, as if they will be scattered in the cold wind at any time.
"It took 500 years for this tree to bloom these two flowers, and it still needs to be kept undamaged for a thousand years before it can successfully bear the ghost fruit. It's not an easy task, and it seems to me that if you're unlucky, both of these flowers can be annihilated. Lin Feng analyzed in his heart.
Lin Feng didn't need to absorb the refining undead qi, so he didn't stay here for long. He continued to stand on Xuan Tiepeng's back, searching in the Darkmoon Canyon.
Don't underestimate such a canyon, the scope is very large, and it secretly contains a mysterious formation, and the automatic deduction is endless. Xuan Tiepeng inadvertently strayed into the guardian formation. So much so that for a while they were all in the same place.
When Lin Feng realized this serious problem, he immediately concentrated on calming down and using his powerful divine sense to perceive the surrounding qiqiqi.
According to Lin Feng's experience in the cultivation world for many years, whenever his eyes can't see clearly, his divine sense can perceive the situation, which is quite mysterious.
After a long while, although Lin Feng didn't perceive the path too clearly with his divine sense, he was able to distinguish different paths from the strength and distribution of Netherworld Qi. Other words. As long as Lin Feng relies on this characteristic, he will not be spared back.
Then, Lin Feng commanded Xuan Tiepeng to move forward, and finally he was no longer trapped by this complicated formation.
In this way, Lin Feng found a few other Nether Trees, and muttered: "Just such a few Nether Trees, it is obviously impossible to successfully form Nether Spirit Fruit in a thousand years, after all, the conditions are too harsh. Xuan Tiepeng. Aren't you familiar with these places, but have you ever heard of some ancient legends about Darkmoon Canyon?"
Xuan Tiepeng was silent. After thinking carefully for a moment, he nodded and said, "Master, if you don't ask, I almost forgot, just now I recalled this, and I remembered that I had heard the elders of the clan say that the scope of the Dark Moon Canyon was extremely large. On the surface, it's just a canyon. And underneath it, there is a vast forest. I heard that there are hidden treasures there, and it is estimated that a large number of Nether Trees are also in the underground forest. Why don't you go and find out, master?"
"That's what I mean, let's find the entrance to the underground forest. Lin Feng said.
Originally, when you passed by the Nether Tree, you could pluck the sparkling white flowers. Although I don't know what specific effects it has. However, the flowers of the Nether Tree were so scarce, and the result was even more difficult, so Lin Feng immediately dispelled the idea of picking them.
In the cold wind, there was suddenly a bloody breath again, and Xuan Tiepeng was so frightened that he quickly accelerated and flew away, anxiously looking for the underground forest.
"It seems that the ten blood sword guards are chasing after you, but you don't have to be so afraid, most of them will be restrained by the guardian formation behind. If you chase it again, it will take a while. It's all in my hands, and you have to trust my wisdom. Lin Feng smiled leisurely.
Xuan Tiepeng sighed and said, "Of course I believe in your wisdom very much, but I don't have much confidence in your strength! Don't forget, every Blood Sword Guard has the strength of the early stage of the Golden Immortal Order, and if ten of them join forces, what a terrible thing it will be!"
Lin Feng didn't explain too much to him, after all, Xuan Tiepeng's wisdom had not yet reached this level, even if he told him in detail, he couldn't understand it at all, but felt more and more empty.
"Our immediate priority is to find the entrance to the underground forest. Lin Feng said concisely.
Xuan Tiepeng didn't dare to delay, he devoted himself to this matter, and sure enough, the hard work paid off, and after a stick of incense, at the foot of a mountain, he saw an underground crack.
There were many clouds and mist pouring out from the cracks in the ground, and Xuan Tiepeng said with some hesitation: "Master, this is probably the underground forest, but it may also be the underground magma area, should we go down directly?"
"Then do you need to hesitate?" Lin Feng said. Immediately, Lin Feng directly pulled Xuan Tiepeng's wings and flew down.
After a few moments, they fell on the branches of the ancient trees, and Xuan Tiepeng finally let out a long breath, glad that beneath the cracks in the earth at the foot of the mountain was the underground forest, not the lava.
"You're really cowardly, even if you encounter lava, I can take you away. Lin Feng said with certainty.
Xuan Tiepeng was quite moved by Lin Feng's attitude, and he realized that this master was just cold-faced and hot-hearted, but he was actually very righteous.
Lin Feng looked around, but saw that the surrounding area was a vast jungle, which was underground, and there was no sunlight all year round, but the ancient trees were still growing well. Lin Feng felt that this was a big gesture because the air here was full of aura.
This aura is much stronger than the outside, but because it is mixed with a lot of undead aura, the ancient tree has also been affected by a certain amount of dΓΉ.
Xuan Tiepeng then carried Lin Feng to fly in this vast jungle, the purpose of course was to find the ghost spirit fruit.
There are more demon beasts in the underground than in the Dark Moon Canyon outside, and the howls that shake the heart are rising and falling one after another.
At first, I still didn't find the Nether Tree, but when I reached the middle of it, I saw a forest of Nether Trees, at least hundreds of them, which was magnificent.
"The elders of your clan are really not lying, in the underground jungle of the Darkmoon Canyon, there are simply too many Nether Trees. However, let's descend to the surface and lurk cautiously, my mind has sensed that danger lurks in the woods. Lin Feng said.
Xuan Tiepeng's heart suddenly sank, and he said very approvingly: "Master, you are really wise, if you don't remind me, I will go directly, it will be terrible." β
As soon as they reined in their breath and unleashed their swift movements, they flickered between the ancient trees, and soon found themselves in the jungle of the Nether Tree.
There are a few sparkling white flowers on each of the Nether Trees, and although they are few in number, the fragrance they exude is very strong and refreshing.
Lin Feng used his divine sense to transmit the sound to Xuan Tiepeng not to smell more, in such a dangerous place, Lin Feng thought that things with smells were less dangerous, and the more they looked good and fragrant, they were very inconsistent with such a dangerous environment, and there must be something weird.
Suddenly, Lin Feng inadvertently saw that on top of a Netherworld Tree thirty zhang in front of him, there were three Netherworld Spirit Fruits.
And among the tasks he received in the contribution hall of the Youshan Sect, the number of Nether Spirit Fruits was also three. In other words, Lin Feng had been looking hard before, and now he finally had a harvest.
Lin Feng wanted to be cautious and released a divine sense to probe if there was any danger near those ghost spirit fruits.
Fortunately, Lin Feng did so, and immediately sensed that among the lush branches of the ancient trees, there were two ape demon beasts hidden. Their aura is close to that of the Nether Tree, lurking there and not moving, difficult for outsiders to detect. Thanks to Lin Feng's carefulness, otherwise if he rashly went to pick the ghost spirit fruit, he would be attacked by them.
"Presumably, these two ape demon beasts are the ancient demon apes of the Golden Immortal Rank, and the second-ranked task of the sect this time is to kill the two ancient demon apes and bring their heads back to hand in the task. Lin Feng said in his heart.
Before, he thought that these two tasks could be completed separately, and it was already quite difficult, but now he found that the ancient demon ape was actually the guardian demon beast of the ghost spirit fruit.
Lin Feng thought about it for a while, and he completely understood that the Nether Spirit Fruit was so precious, not only for the monks, but also for the demon beasts, who also needed such a genius earth treasure.
It is estimated that these two ancient demon apes have been guarding the branches of this ancient ghost tree for a long time in order to harvest these three ghost spirit fruits.
It can be seen that they must attach great importance to the Nether Spirit Fruit, and if they encounter outsiders who dare to snatch this treasure, the Ancient Demon Ape will definitely fight for their lives.
"Master, since you have found such a precious treasure, why are you still indifferent?" Xuan Tiepeng asked curiously with his divine sense.
"I've finally found a powerful helper who can deal with ten Blood Sword guards, Hugh has to ask more, let's wait here for the opportunity. Lin Feng responded.
Lin Feng had already decided to let these two Golden Immortal Rank Ancient Demon Ape deal with the Blood Sword Guards, he didn't even need to lure them over, after all, with the Blood Sword Guards' skills, it was estimated that they would be looking for them here in no more than half an hour.
While waiting, Lin Feng used his divine sense to explore the nearby places and found that there were several ancient demon apes. He didn't dare to underestimate this more and more, and he had to be careful later, otherwise he would be chased and killed by the demon ape, which would be quite bad.
Indeed, as Lin Feng expected, close to half an hour, the ten Blood Sword guards finally arrived in the Netherworld Forest. (To be continued......)
