Chapter 64: The Strategy for Winning the Fruit
Seeing that Gu Nianqing and Gong Xun didn't want to go to find the Black Immortal Fruit, Jiang Fan pondered for a moment and said: "The Black Immortal Fruit is very important to me, since I have met it, I don't want to miss it, it's really not good, you will continue to go to the central area of the Eastern Yan Mountain Range first, and when I take the fruit, I will come and meet you!"
As soon as these words fell, Gong Xun looked at him very worriedly and said, "How can you go alone?"
Seeing this scene, Gu Nianqing looked at Gong Xun and was a little stunned, and then looked at Jiang Fan and had no choice but to say: "What did Brother Jiang say, you and I are friends, friends are in need, Gu is naturally willing to help, since you must have the Black Immortal Fruit, then what if Gu Mou sacrifices his life to accompany you?"
Seeing that the two of them were so affectionate, Jiang Fan was also moved in his heart, but how could he delay Gu Nianqing's trip for his own business?
"The two of you have good intentions, but I am enough alone, so I don't have to bother you to follow!"
Hearing this, seeing his firm appearance, Nagong Xun was a little anxious, and when he wanted to say something more, he saw Xue Xiangying suddenly smiled and said: "There is no need to fight, I can go together!"
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, and when he wanted to persuade them, Xue Xiangying had already looked at him with beautiful eyes, expressing his firmness. Helpless, Jiang Fan had to agree.
Then, the four of them cautiously followed the bewildered animals and walked in one direction together.
The fog was vast, a gray shroud, and the muddy ground was covered with the footprints of many animals. Jiang Fan and the four of them followed those animals, and they didn't know how long it had been, but they saw that the strange flowers on the black vines on the ground had begun to wither.
In this thick fog, Jiang Fan also found traces of some cultivators, but those people were all demented in both eyes, like walking corpses, and walked towards the source of the black devouring spirit vine together.
Seeing this, Gong Xun wanted to wake them up and save their lives, but he was stopped by Xue Xiangying, and only listened to her: "It's useless, if you want to save them, you can only take the black dark fruit and feed them to swallow, otherwise, even if you tie them to a tree, they will not wake up, but will continue in this state until they die!"
Hearing this, Gong Xun stopped, but he was especially surprised in his heart at the poison of this black soul devouring spirit vine pollen!
As the four of them continued to follow secretly, they didn't know where they were, and those creatures who had lost their minds slowly stopped.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan looked at the distant scene and was suddenly shocked. I saw that in the distance in front of them, a black deep pool appeared in front of them, and in the center of the black pool, a huge and incomparably strange ancient tree stood upright in the pool.
This ancient tree was as black as ink, and its appearance was extremely strange and terrifying, and there were many black vines wrapped around it. Looking at those black strange flowers, blooming above, like worms attached to them, it makes people chill and palpitate.
Many thick roots the size of an adult man stretched out of the black pool, emptying the surroundings for miles. And the ground vines they could see, at this moment, Jiang Fan finally knew where they came from.
The vines, which stretched far from the ground, all grew out of the black pool, and then spread in all directions.
"This is the Black Soul Devouring Spirit Vine, and that Black Water Pool is the Spirit Devouring Pool that devours those bewitched creatures!"
Xue Xiangying's voice slowly remembered from Jiang Fan's side, and after the four of them heard the voice, they all looked at the soul-swallowing pool that was so dark that it made people palpitate.
Immediately, I saw that many creatures who had come here took the initiative to walk towards the Spirit Devouring Pool, and slowly sank into the pool water, turning into the growth nutrients of the Black Soul Devouring Spirit Vine.
With each devouring creature, Jiang Fan found that the black vines on the ground became more and more pitch-black. Look at the vine barbs entwined in the ancient tree, which are also as sharp as a sword. As the more creatures devoured, the strange flowers on the ancient trees became more and more gorgeous, and with the breeze blowing, the petals fluttered and fluttered, like living creatures, and in the eyes of people, it was even more treacherous and terrifying.
Gu Nianqing couldn't help frowning when he saw that some lost cultivators had also walked into the pool of water, but in the end he still didn't come to the rescue. As Xue Xiangying said, if he wants to save those people, only the Black Immortal Fruit is the antidote, but now that the strange flower of the Black Immortal Devouring Spirit Vine has not completely withered, the Black Immortal Fruit will naturally not grow, so he can't save those people.
Seeing those cultivators who were quickly swallowed up by the black water pool, Gong Xun couldn't bear to watch, so he looked at Jiang Fan, and at this time, Jiang Fan's attention was all on the ancient tree in the middle of the pool.
"The Black Immortal Fruit grows on that ancient tree, so if you want to compete for the fruit later, you need to find a way to get close to the ancient tree first!"
Xue Xiangying also noticed his gaze and couldn't help but say. Jiang Fan heard this, nodded, but did not reply, he obviously also saw those cultivators who were devoured, they were also human races, he naturally wanted to save them, but unfortunately it was too late, if he made a move now, not only would he not be able to save those people, but he would only alarm the black devouring spirit vine, causing all the unpredictable consequences.
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, from the moment a cultivator set foot on the path of cultivation, he had to be ready to die at any time. They have enjoyed all that mortals cannot enjoy, and naturally they will also suffer all the calamities that mortals cannot experience.
Speaking of which, there is nothing to feel sorry for them, the cruel cultivation calamity, how can it not be a survival problem that mortals have to face?
Jiang Fan put away the thoughts in his heart, and stared intently at the black devouring spirit vine. It's so far away from the middle of the pool of water that it's even more difficult to get close to the ancient tree.
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan's blue and red eyes appeared again, and he looked directly at the pool of water, and then through the green jade pupils, he could also see that the depth of the pool of water was probably more than a thousand feet.
It is impossible to swim there, and if you want to get close to it, there is only one way, and that is to fly Edgeworth. And those who can achieve the Imperial Sword can only be the ability to transform into a Qi Realm cultivator, and among the four of them, except for him, the other three are all Qi Transformation Realm strength.
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan said to the three of them: "I have a plan, I don't know if it's feasible!" Immediately, he told the three of them his strategy, this method is to draw the attention of the Black Immortal Devouring Spirit Vine, and then the three of Xue Xiangying find an opportunity to approach the ancient tree with the sword and capture the fruit.
After learning about this method, Gong Xun was very worried: "Can you pull the black devouring spirit vine alone?"
It's not that Gong Xun doesn't trust him, it's that his current strength has only reached the consummation of the Gathering Spirit Realm, if he is asked to fight the black spirit swallowing vine alone, I'm afraid he can't resist it!
Gu Nianqing also looked at him worriedly, only Xue Xiangying was silent, obviously trusting his strength.
Seeing that the two of them were so suspicious of their strength, Jiang Fan couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Gu, don't worry, when the time comes, you just have to win the fruit, Jiang is confident that you can hold it off temporarily!"
