Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Fisherman Gains Profit
With the continuous climbing, Niu Dingtian was already in the air dozens of feet high, and the wind was whistling in his ears.
In this position, there were very few branches and leaves that could obscure the starry sky overhead, and the clear moonlight completely soaked his body.
Of course, the red blood vine did not give up guarding the fruit of the pearl purple shirt, and the ghost-faced ape was driven away by chickens and dogs, and even danger. Several times it was forced to fall by the thorn vines, but with its skill, it was still able to easily land on the branches of the tree one layer below, and then continue to charge at the top of the yew.
However, Niu Dingtian and Niu Jiaojiao encountered very few red blood vines, only a few small vines that were missed, which did not pose a threat to them at all. With just a few easy swings of the Kunwu Knife, you can cut it at will, and let the broken vine fall into the abyss.
In fact, at this moment, it shows that the defensive strength of the Red Blood Vine is already extremely weak.
Not all vines can reach the height of tens of zhang, and most of the ones that can climb here are some more slender thorns, which are not as thick as the bottom, but they are more flexible.
Moreover, the vines in this position are mainly used to deal with birds in the sky, so they don't need too much strength.
Due to the interference of the red blood vine, the climbing speed of the ghost-faced ape was greatly reduced, and Niu Dingtian had almost caught up with its pace, and the difference between the two was only two or three zhang away.
Suddenly, a burst of rattans danced, like a cage covering the leading ghost-faced ape in it, and the vines writhed wildly, like living creatures, full of lethality.
Seeing this, the ghost-faced ape didn't dare to hold it up, and a pair of sharp monkey claws stretched out completely, directly facing the red blood vine. But this time the vines were obviously more numerous and faster, and as it became entangled with the vines in front of it, there were many thin vines coiling along the branches, quietly wrapping around its hind legs.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the ghost-faced ape turned over in the air, and its thin body fell straight down. It was immediately freed from the net of heaven and earth arranged by the red blood vine, but it was also far away from the red blood pearl fruit again.
But as an ape, the trees are its home turf, how could it be defeated so easily?
Its dexterous body landed steadily on the branches of the yew, and with the strength of the fall and the elasticity of the yew, it rose into the sky at a faster speed, flying straight to the last distance.
Niu Dingtian immediately put away his knife and sheathed it when he saw it, and chased after it with both hands and feet, he knew very well that the red blood vine would give priority to attacking the person who climbed on top. So he kept his speed and hung steadily behind the ghost-faced ape, so that the monkey could attract firepower and make him a lot more comfortable.
But what he didn't expect was that this ghost-faced ape still had such a trick in the end, using the yew branch as a slingshot and shooting it directly to the top.
"Squeak!"
The ghost-faced ape screamed wildly in the air, looking excited, neither the climbing speed of the vines nor the bull peaking the sky could catch up with it. Now the red blood pearl fruit is in front of its eyes, and it is at its fingertips.
The intoxicating aroma hit its nostrils, making it drool.
Seeing that the ghost-faced ape was already clinging to the treetops on all fours, and the red blood pearl fruit was only a few feet away from it, Niu Dingtian was ready to give up the fight. The fruit was a small bunch, like seven bright red translucent pearls, and he didn't expect the ghost-faced ape to leave him a few.
Although some are unwilling to be defeated by a monkey, but the reality is so, what is there to feel sorry for?
Suddenly, Niu Jiaojiao behind him shouted: "Xiaobai, you hurry up, I can use the beast tooth bracelet to block it!"
"Okay!" Niu Dingtian shouted, and suddenly regained his heart of contention, Niu Jiaojiao's bracelet he had seen. Even the Tiger Beast of the Earth Immortal Realm would be harmed, and the ghost-faced ape who only had the Transformation God Realm would certainly not dare to take it hard, which meant that he still had a chance to compete for the Red Blood Pearl Fruit.
The "Horn Open Heaven Gong" in his body was running wildly, and a wave of power frantically surged to his limbs, and at this time, he and the red blood vine briefly united the front, and all of them burst out at the fastest speed to climb to the top of the yew.
Niu Dingtian even used the speed of the red blood vine to make himself faster, and the wind whistled by, only to see more than a dozen beast teeth flying towards the ghost-faced ape at lightning speed.
The monkey's claws had reached out for the Red Blood Pearl Fruit, and no one in this place could stop it, and the ghost-faced ape had a look of intoxication, and it had been waiting for this moment for decades.
Suddenly, there was a loud roar behind it, and the black and brown monkey hair behind it stood upside down, which was a threat from death, far more thrilling than the temptation of the red blood pearl fruit.
The ghost-faced ape had to give up picking the red blood pearl fruit, and threw itself over on all fours in the treetops, finally narrowly avoiding the attack of the beast fangs.
But at the same time, countless rattans had already poured up, just as the ghost-faced ape soared in the air, with nowhere to borrow strength. The red-blooded vines had just tied it up in a sturdy knot, and the fine thorny barbs were stuck in its flesh, even if it was flexible, it could not be used at this time.
He could only roar wildly, venting his dissatisfaction in his heart, and a pair of monkey eyes looked angrily at Niu Dingtian, who was approaching the red blood pearl fruit step by step, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire.
At this time, Niu Dingtian didn't have time to pay attention to it, and he didn't even have time to appreciate this handicraft-like red blood pearl fruit, he had to pick this bunch of fruits before the red blood vine turned its head to deal with him, otherwise it was likely to be another mutation.
There are a total of seven red blood pearl fruits, each one is the size of a dragon's eye, and it is full of crimson light, crystal clear like a gemstone. However, these seven fruits bear on a bunch of small vines, and they are exposed to the sun and rain every day, and the sun and the moon are blooming, and I don't know how many years.
Niu Dingtian's hand rose and fell, and the Kunwu knife cut off the small vine against the bark, and a bunch of fruits were taken by Niu Dingtian into his hand.
As soon as the Red Blood Pearl Fruit was picked by Niu Dingtian, the aggressiveness of many red blood vines seemed to be minimized, and they evolved from ordinary vines to thorns to protect this bunch of fruits. When the fruit is picked, it seems that they have lost their mission and purpose.
However, the bound ghost-faced ape was not released, and was still hanging high on the branches, dying from the torture of the red blood vine.
Niu Dingtian thought about it and decided to save it, after all, he was also the red blood pearl fruit that he snatched from it, although this thing was an ownerless thing, but he was always a little apologetic. At least don't let it die for it!
Niu Dingtian thought so, and slashed at the thorny vine that bound the ghost-faced ape, and the vine was cut off, and the monkey was immediately released.
However, it was already drenched in blood pierced by thorns, and its eyes were not bright, how could it have the agile breath before? As soon as it was let go of the vine, it fell straight down, but it frightened Niu Dingtian, and if it fell to death like this, it was impossible to distinguish whether it would save it or harm it.
Fortunately, Niu Jiaojiao below saw the opportunity quickly, pulled out a vine, and threw it in the direction where the ghost-faced ape fell, and rolled it up and saved it.
After trying to return to the ground again, it was already white in the east, and the morning light was faint. It won't be long before the unique miasma of the Great Wilderness will disperse the forest again.
However, making a fire can dispel the miasma, and Niu Dingtian is not in a hurry, he and Niu Jiaojiao dragged the half-dead ghost-faced ape out of the Red Blood Valley. As for the huge Qinglin Forest Snake from before, it had already become a pile of white bones at this time, and the best flesh and blood had been eaten by the red blood vine.
After being hungry all day, his chest was already close to his back, and Niu Dingtian originally wanted to build a fire, and then roast the meat of the Qinglin Mori Snake to eat, so he had to hunt again.
On the eve of the wee hours of the morning, it is generally the time when the herbivorous beasts are most active, so hunting is not a difficult task, and Niu Dingtian quickly hunts a large twisted horned forest antelope. This thing resembles a cow, a sheep, and a horse, but it is called the Four Likes.
Niu Dingtian dragged the twisted horned forest Ling back to the agreed place, Niu Jiaojiao had already lit a fire, and although the ghost-faced ape was still lying on the ground, it seemed to have eased up.
Niu Dingtian glanced at it and said, "Huh, I didn't expect this monkey's life to be quite big, I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect it to come back to life!"
"I gave it one of the fruits, you won't blame me, right?" Niu Jiaojiao suddenly looked a little twisted, after Niu Dingtian left, the life of the ghost-faced ape was almost extinguished, and in the spirit of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, she picked a red blood pearl fruit and stuffed it into the mouth of the ghost-faced ape.
"You are so generous!" Niu Dingtian could only sigh, this is a fruit that is coveted by the beasts of the Earth Fairyland, and it definitely belongs to the ranks of heavenly and earthly treasures, and it has been used by Niu Jiaojiao to be a monkey who has been dying frequently. But this is also where her personality is cute, and she doesn't have so much thought and calculation when she does things.
"Well, I don't know what this fruit is for, so I might as well put it on it and try it. But it looks like a good baby now, and it's worth it after a long day here!" Niu Dingtian said as he skinned the twisted horned forest antelope, cut off a few of the fattest meat racks, and roasted them on the fire.
Niu Jiaojiao saw that Niu Dingtian didn't blame her, so she put her mind at ease, and as the flames rose, the smell of meat overflowed. Her stomach couldn't help but growl, and she praised, "It's so fragrant!"
"Don't look at whose craftsmanship it is!" Niu Dingtian also took advantage of the situation to sell himself and boast.
The ghost-faced ape actually smelled the smell of meat and climbed up, but it looked at Niu Dingtian's eyes timidly, and it was very close to Niu Jiaojiao when facing Niu Jiaojiao, it seems that this red blood pearl fruit is not given in vain, at least this ghost-faced ape still knows how to be grateful.
In the morning light, the fog thickened, but the blazing flames kept all the miasma out.
And Niu Dingtian and Niu Jiaojiao also began to feast, you must know that the last meal was eaten yesterday morning, if it wasn't for the addition of a lot of red blood vine juice halfway, they would have been hungry and couldn't stand it.
Seeing that the two of them were eating happily, the ghost-faced ape couldn't help it, and the dissatisfied "squeak" screamed wildly, protesting against the act of not giving it food and drink.
Niu Dingtian didn't expect this guy to be a self-cooked, and he was not polite at all, since the spirit fruit was all shared with it, how could he care about a piece of barbecue?
For a time, two demons and a monkey gathered around the fire, condensing into a picture full of mood and poetry, but also extremely simple and primitive.
