Yuanqi Mountain, the mountains are continuous.

"We headed to the canyon southeast of Yuanqi Mountain. Xiao Qing instructed, "Elder Zhao, you can find out where to go to avoid the monsters." ”

"Okay, I'll investigate. ”

Uncle Zhao, the emaciated monster servant, had a change in his nose and turned black, similar to a dog's nose, and he sniffed and distinguished countless breaths.

Yue Feng watched from the sidelines, it was a dog that had not become a monster, and his nose was very smart.

This dog's nose is even more smart, not to mention the strength of this monster old servant, it surpasses the nineteen monster leaders under the command of the river god.

It turned out that the old man of the demon servant turned out to be a dog, Yue Feng looked at the old servant Uncle Zhao in surprise.

"This Yuanqi Mountain is worthy of being the largest mountain outside the mountains and forests, and there are indeed many monsters lurking here, and I have found many monsters within ten miles. Uncle Zhao, the old servant of the monster, said, "Come with me, I'll lead the way in front." ”

"Let's go. ”

Xiao Qing, Yue Feng, and Qian Chengbiao quickly followed behind the old servant Uncle Zhao.

All the way forward.

Under the leadership of this Uncle Zhao, Yue Feng and they really didn't encounter a monster.

After walking in the mountains for half an hour, the old servant of the monster 'Uncle Zhao' sniffed from time to time, and suddenly he stopped and whispered: "Miss Xiao, three miles ahead is the canyon, and the canyon has a lot of demonic energy, because it is mixed together, it should also live together." It's hard for me to tell, but I can tell that at least a hundred youkai are there. ”

"A small canyon in the mountains, there are at least a hundred monsters hidden?" Xiao Qing's face also changed slightly.

It's a little demon, and it generally has the strength of an ordinary strong body.

"The thousand-year-old jade comb fruit is in the canyon, but there are hundreds of monsters there, it should be to guard the thousand-year-old jade comb fruit. Xiao Qing said, "It seems that the monster also values this strange fruit." ”

"Miss Xiao, what should I do next?" asked Uncle Zhao, the old monster servant, "There are too many monsters in the canyon. ”

"Enter the canyon first and find a place where you can see a thousand-year-old jade comb fruit tree. Miss Xiao said solemnly, "We must be sure that we can see the thousand-year-old jade comb fruit ripe!"

"Good. ”

Uncle Zhao, the old servant of the monster, immediately had no complaints and led the way in front.

"Enter the canyon now?" Qian Chengbiao said in a low voice, "Do you want to enter when the time comes?"

"If you enter when the time comes, and you find that the fruit has been ripe and picked, it will be too late, and after entering, you must set the route method of picking the fruit, and you must enter in advance. Miss Xiao Qing glanced at Qian Chengbiao and said, "What's the matter, you're afraid?"

"No, I'm not afraid, how can I be afraid?" Qian Chengbiao also knew very well that he couldn't retreat when it came to this job, after all, he still had to win Miss Xiao's heart, so he didn't dare to say that he was afraid.

Yue Feng was very calm, and he didn't feel a trace of nervousness at the moment.

In just three miles, the four of them traveled more and more slowly, for fear of being discovered by the monsters.

"See. ”

On the mountainside, Yue Feng and the four of them looked at the canyon below.

The most conspicuous thing in the canyon is a lake that exudes heat, and the water of this lake is warm all year round, and the heat rises and the fog fills the air, which is also called the 'foggy lake'.

Not far from the foggy lake, there is a fruit tree carved like an ice cube, and the fruit tree can still see the refraction of sunlight even if it is affected by fog under the sunlight.

There was a pale yellow fruit on this fruit tree, just one such fruit.

There were more than a dozen youkai standing bored.

In the entire canyon, at a glance, you can still see twenty or thirty youkai, scattered everywhere.

Even on the mountainsides on both sides, there are also monsters guarding them.

If these monsters hide in the human city, they will naturally be completely humanoid, but in the deep mountains and lakes, there is no need, they are all wearing beast heads, or holding weapons in their hands, or weapons in their waists.

"In the mountain walls on both sides, there are also seven or eight youkai hiding, and they should be observing the four directions. Uncle Zhao, the old servant of the monsters, sniffed, and hurriedly whispered: "There are thirty or forty monsters patrolling the canyon for a long time, and the mansion in the center should be the place where the monsters take turns to rest, and I can feel that most of the demonic energy is in that mansion." ”

Yue Feng looked down, the mansion occupied a large area, but the construction was very rough, after all, it was to protect the place where the 'Millennium Jade Comb Fruit' temporarily lived.

"Miss Xiao, why did you go over to pick strange fruits?" Yue Feng asked.

"The fruit trees are all flat all around. Yi Xiao frowned and said in a low voice, "There are more than ten monsters around the fruit tree, and there are twenty or thirty monsters a little farther away. If there is the slightest movement, I am afraid that many other monsters in the mansion will be killed. The canyon is open and unobstructed. If you want to go to the fruit, you have to rely on condensation. ”

"Condensation technique?" Yue Feng's eyes lit up.

The Condensation Technique is an extremely difficult spell to cultivate, and it is possible for ordinary people who have cultivated Qi to be high.

As for the youkai, the youkai have different talents because of their different races.

Some are born to drill into the ground, some are born to fly, and some are invisible, which they can't envy.

The monsters also envy the high level of 'understanding' of human cultivators.

A monster, cultivated for thousands of years, is not as good as the best of human cultivators who have practiced for ten years!

But human beings still envy the long lifespan of monsters! The lifespan of a person in the Jindan Realm is only 600 years.

In fact, each has its own advantages.

"When it comes to picking fruits, I'm afraid it's only Brother Yue. Xiao Qing said, "Qian Chengbiao is afraid that he doesn't have the courage to go over to pick fruits, and Zhao Lao can't use the condensation technique." ”

"It's up to Brother Yue. Qian Chengbiao squeaked ill-intentionedly.

Joke.

I went to pick fruits, but I was unlucky, and I was found before I could touch the fruit.

Even if it's so powerful that it won't be discovered, once the fruit is picked, the youkai will immediately find out. It is likely that there will be a siege at that time.

"Okay, leave it to me. Yue Feng nodded, he also knew that this task was only done by him.

Xiao Qing opened her palm and put her hand on Yue Feng's arm, only to see a faint light emitted, and suddenly Yue Feng disappeared in front of the three of them.

Xiao Qing paused and said, "Brother Yue, I have already performed the Divine Concentration Technique, you can go and pick strange fruits, the monsters will not find you." ”

"Brother Yue, picking fruits is the most dangerous, trouble Brother Yue. If you really can't do it, you have to save your life by giving up the spiritual fruit. Xiao Qing looked at Yue Feng and said.

"Don't worry, you must save your life first. Yue Feng said.

"I'll see Brother Yue later. Qian Chengbiao also boasted on the side, since he knew that Yue Feng would vomit blood from terrifying monsters such as the Rhino Demon with one punch, Qian Chengbiao was afraid in the face of Yue Feng. After all, for any monster, a terrifying powerhouse who can hurt himself with one move naturally lacks confidence, and Qian Chengbiao has not experienced much danger.

Yue Feng looked down and thought about the general route.

"Let's go, let's keep getting closer. Xiao Qing said, "I'll pick up Brother Yue later." ”

"Keep getting closer?" Qian Chengbiao's face changed slightly.

"If we are hundreds of feet away from him, we will not be able to answer him when he picks the fruit. Xiao Qing said, "Let's go, go on." ”

Yue Feng smiled and glanced at Xiao Qing, this Xiao girl is quite decisive.

This time, the four of them were more careful.

Yue Feng and Xiao Qing looked at the surroundings intently, eager to enlarge their eyes, but they mainly relied on Uncle Zhao, the old servant of the monster.

Uncle Zhao, the old servant of the monster, took the three of them very carefully, and tried to get as close as possible to the thousand-year-old jade comb fruit tree.

"I can't get any closer, it's still forty feet from the fruit trees. The old servant Uncle Zhao said, "Fortunately, the number of monsters is small, and there are dozens of guards around, plus the monsters are lazy, if the Terran army is on guard, it will not be able to get so close." ”

"Forty zhang, that's enough. Miss Xiao Qing nodded, at this distance, her Flying Fire Thunder could also support it.

Like before, hundreds of zhang apart, then there is no way.

"Now we just have to wait, wait for the fruit to ripen. Miss Xiao Qing said.

"Hmm. ”

All of them, including Yue Feng, completely restrained the movement of their bodies, silently waiting for the ripening of the strange fruits.

And on the boulevard.

As early as midnight, the gate of the mountain forest was quietly opened, and the prefect and his party who left the mountain forest were about to arrive at the foot of the mountain, but according to the plan, they would not enter Yuanqi Mountain, but waited at the bottom of the mountain.

The prefect sat in the carriage, and around the carriage were a group of pro-guard masters, including the commander Wang, who naturally followed at all times.

"Whew. ”

A flying eagle swooped down in the sky.

"Huh?" one of the guards looked up and immediately reached out, and the eagle landed on his arm.

The guards took a letter from the lower leg of the flying eagle and handed it to the prefect Yuan Ye on the side.

"Letter?" Yuan Ye took it, frowned when he saw the letter mark, and opened the scrolled letter to take a look.

"Stop, Daddy, Daddy. Yuan Ye hurriedly shouted.

The whole team stopped, and the old man of the prefect opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside: "What's the matter?"

Yuan Ye handed the letter over.

The old man of the prefect took it and took a look, and the content of the secret letter was very simple: "I heard that the river god invited his junior brother 'Lion Demon' to come to Yuanqi Mountain and help guard the thousand-year-old jade comb fruit. ”

Just one sentence made the heart of the old man of the prefect instantly cold!

"Lion Demon?"

"The river god asked his junior brother, the Lion Demon, to help?"

The prefect's heart was trembling, his hands couldn't stop trembling, and he seemed to have a trace of unease.

"How can this be? How can this be? Heaven will destroy me, heaven will destroy me?" the old prefect muttered.

"The lion demon, isn't he entrenched in the mountains, forests, and Fengling for a long time? The three thousand little demons in the wind range listen to his orders, this lion demon is good at controlling the wind and can fly between heaven and earth, so the big demon and the river god are actually brothers? He was invited by him to guard the thousand-year-old jade comb fruit?" Yuan Ye was also a little panicked, after all, if he couldn't get the jade comb fruit, his father was afraid that he would not have a few years to live.

"These big demons all have cultivation methods. The old man of the prefect said in a deep voice, "The cultivation method naturally has a heritage, a master, and a senior brother. I thought that the river god was too much of a disaster, and he didn't dare to leave the river and lake too far, and there were more monsters on Yuanqi Mountain, but I didn't expect him to invite the lion demon!"

"Could the news be fake?" Yuan Ye couldn't help but say.

There are humans who have taken refuge in youkai.

Similarly, there are also some little demons who have taken refuge in the Terrans and have received many benefits from the Terrans.

This time, the message came from a youkai who had taken refuge in the prefect.

"Since they all say that it is a lion and a big demon, I am afraid that it is eighty percent true. Although the old man of the prefect didn't want to believe it in his heart, he was old and refined, and naturally knew that there was a great possibility that the news was true, but he still didn't want to believe it, and immediately said: "The river god doesn't know the exact time when the thousand-year-old jade comb fruit is ripe, and it can be estimated that it can still be done in about ten days and a half months, so please ask his junior brother Lion Demon to help protect it for ten days and a half months." ”

"It's just that this thousand-year-old jade comb fruit, prolonging life? He is a monster with a long lifespan, what do you want to prolong your life?" The old man of the prefect had a somewhat hideous face, and he couldn't believe it.

"What should I do then?" Yuan Ye was also a little panicked.

"If the lion demon is here, Xiao Qingyue Feng and they may have no hope. The old man of the prefect said in a deep voice, "The trouble is, I'm worried about whether they can come back alive, especially Xiao Qing, if they die in Yuanqi Mountain, the Xiao clan and even the Xianmen will not give up easily." ”

"I'm going to send a message. Yuan Ye hurriedly said.

The old man of the prefect looked at the sky outside the window and sighed: "It's too late, it's almost time, from here to the Yuanqi Mountain, and then to the canyon, it's too late to find them, it's too late!"

After the old man finished speaking, he closed the curtains.

"Are you still moving on?" asked Yuan Ye.

"Go on, go and wait at the foot of Yuanqi Mountain, maybe wait for them to come out. The voice of the old man of the prefect seemed to be much lower all of a sudden, if the lion demon was there, the old man of the prefect himself would not see any hope of getting the thousand-year-old jade comb fruit, and the hope of prolonging his life for twenty years would be cut off?

The old man's face was full of disappointment.

"Lion Demon, Lion Demon...", the old man of the prefect muttered in the carriage.

Yuan Ye's face also darkened a little, and he immediately shouted to his entourage: "Keep going."
