Chapter Eighty-Three: An Unexpected Appearance
It's just that this poisonous snake was boiled to death by him, but it doesn't mean that no other demon beast will covet this ripe Blood Soul Fruit Tree. Therefore, he did not dare to be negligent at all.
Wang Xiaokan quickly found a suitable jade box from the space, planning to pick the Blood Soul Fruit, and then move the Blood Soul Tree to the space.
These are all his trophies, so he won't give up what he has.
However, this time, without Lin Xuekite, who had a deep understanding of medicinal herbs and had specialized in collecting medicines, Wang Xiaokan could only pick the Blood Soul Fruit by himself.
It's just that in order not to be disturbed by other demon beasts in the process of picking the Blood Soul Fruit, so as not to destroy or lose the medicinal properties, or not to be robbed of the fruits of his labor by other people or demon beasts, the Blood Soul Tree, Wang Xiaokan still did not put the corpse of the spotted viper into the space, hoping to use the remaining coercion of the piebald viper to drive away those invasions.
Even if you can't, it's good to delay a little longer.
Just in case, Wang Xiaokan also extravagantly used a few lower-grade spirit stones to set up the simplest first-level defensive array, and he also carved a simple phantom array outside the defensive array, hoping that it could be delayed for a while longer.
Fortunately, the first-level defensive array can be placed with lower-grade spirit stones, and if it is a second-level or higher defensive array, especially the Five Elements defensive array, more than these materials are needed.
"Fortunately, I made a windfall before, otherwise, I would really be reluctant to take out these low-grade spirit stones. Wang Xiaokan sighed with a smile on his face, feeling that the lives of rich people and poor people without money are simply very different.
Thinking back to the beginning, Wang Xiaokan, who could only rely on the little monthly stipends issued by Bixia Sect to get by, even bought a decent weapon, and had to find that kind of small stall that was not in the flow to pick up for a long time, for fear of exceeding the budget.
And now, he already has four or five weapons on hand, even if most of them are for women, but even if Lin Xueyuan doesn't like it after waking up, he can sell these and buy two better weapons suitable for him, which is not bad, isn't it?
Thinking about it like this, Wang Xiaokan's heart became a little happier.
If it weren't for the urgency of time, he really wanted to laugh three times to relieve his depression.
"Great, master, I'm not poor anymore!" Seeing that the corner of the space was stacked tightly, Wang Xiaokan's whole person relaxed a lot, and his smile became stronger.
From the pile of jade boxes left by the Xiangyun Fairy, he picked out a few small jade boxes with a higher preservation year and more external prohibitions, took out the space, and placed them on the edge of the Blood Soul Tree.
Then, he took a jade box casually, carefully placed it under a blood soul fruit, and conjured a pair of jade scissors from the empty hand, cutting off the thin branch where the blood soul fruit was located, and seeing the blood soul fruit fall into the jade box, Wang Xiaokan immediately closed the jade box, and did not let the medicinal power lose again. As for the loss of more or less medicinal power during the harvesting process, it is inevitable.
Then, Wang Xiaokan used the same method to collect all the other six Blood Soul Fruits on the Blood Soul Tree and send them into the space, and the string he was taut was slightly loosened.
Wang Xiaokan sat paralyzed on the edge of the Blood Soul Tree, sighed fiercely, and said, "Alas, this kind of thing is indeed not so easy to do. It's no wonder that so many disciples like to take on the task of picking medicinal herbs, just to train themselves in the meticulous control of spiritual power, and it really makes sense. ”
He had planned to rest here for a while before he started transplanting the Blood Soul Tree. But unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, he heard a voice from outside the formation.
"It's not good, a demon beast has come to attack the formation. Wang Xiaokan got up with a grunt, and was about to go over there to have a look, but when he looked at the Blood Soul Tree in front of him, he changed his mind again, "It took me a full eight lower grade spirit stones to set up a defensive array, the power shouldn't be so weak, right?" No, I have to hurry, hurry up and dig out the Blood Soul Tree, and then hide in the space, then everything will be fine." ”
Thinking like this, Wang Xiaokan hurriedly took out all the jade shovels and jade hoes, carefully drew a square about 100 meters long around the Blood Soul Tree, and then began to dig down little by little.
The most important feature of the Blood Soul Tree is that it has a well-developed root system, which can store more nutrients. The older the Blood Soul Tree, the more developed the root system and the longer the roots.
Looking at the state of this Blood Soul Tree, it was two or three hundred years old, and in order to minimize the damage to the roots, he could only expand the scope of excavation as much as possible.
It's just that the sound of "rumbling" outside is endless, indicating that the unknown demon beast is attacking. He didn't have much time to buy. It was absolutely impossible to not damage the root system of the Blood Soul Tree at all, he could only leave a little more root system so as not to hinder the transplantation of the Blood Soul Tree.
Vigorously digging a shallow pit of about two meters, Wang Xiaokan saw a little bulging light coffee color on the side of the plane, his heart moved, and he secretly wondered: "Could it be that this is the root system of the Blood Soul Tree? Isn't it? It actually appeared in such a shallow formation, this root system is inevitably too much, right?"
After all, what needs to be done still has to be done.
Wang Xiaokan carefully used a jade shovel to slowly dig out the soil near the root system, preserving the integrity of the root system as much as possible. However, the roots that extended longer and became taper were not needed, and he directly cut off these small roots with a jade hoe.
Although, this is too delicate to be suitable for this kind of emergency. However, to make Wang Xiaokan give up this Blood Soul Tree, which can obviously bring him more benefits, it is as uncomfortable as asking for his life!
"How many Blood Soul Fruits can such a big tree bear!? When the time comes, my Blood Refining Pill will not have to worry. Besides, the surplus can still be sold for money. Wang Xiaokan, who had completely fallen into the eye of money, said that he was unwilling to move his nest or anything, and happily became a hard-working porter.
As for the louder and louder noises outside, he chose to be a temporary deaf person and turn a deaf ear.
"I'm a porter, a porter, a happy porter, I'm going to carry ......," Wang Xiaokan sang a nondescript song as he saw the opportunity to shovel off the soil one by one, revealing the buried roots underneath.
......
Before he finished digging, Wang Xiaokan heard a loud sound of "boom, boom", and when he looked back, it turned out that his formation was already crumbling and almost unable to hold on, and he could even see the black and brown monster fur shining in the sun!
This made Wang Xiaokan gasp in shock.
How could this be? This monster must have come too quickly, right?
The most important thing is that he has just defeated the spotted viper, and he has been picking the Blood Soul Fruit and digging the Blood Soul Tree for so long without stopping, and he is already exhausted, and he has no strength to face another demon beast at all.
Wang Xiaokan's eyes flickered, and he couldn't care about the spotted poisonous snake that was still stiff and dead in the distance, he pulled half of the blood soul tree that was still stuck in the soil and ran into the space, completely regardless of how many roots would be damaged and how much medicinal power would be lost.
