Chapter Ninety-Six: "The Holy Fruit"
After asking about many plants, Li Hang finally found the hunter with the "Holy Fruit", and he was in the bushes under the tree.
Now that he has found his place, it is time to start implementing the plan.
Trying not to make a sound, Li Hang jumped towards another tree, and then jumped farther and farther, feeling that he had reached the limit of the hunters' hearing, so he squatted on the trunk of the tree and asked the location of the trap near the big tree under his feet.
After a difficult conversation, Li Hang looked back at a trap hidden in the bushes.
"Ahem!" he cleared his throat softly.
"Meow~~嗷~~嗷~~~"
"Come on! The monster is trapped, come over and ......"
With Li Hang's deliberate howl, a strange hunter's slightly shrill roar sounded immediately, loudly calling for his companions to come and kill the demon beast.
"Quick, quick, quick, get your weapons ready, wind up your crossbows, you three come with me from the left, Toller, remember to harass the main, don't come hard. Hearing the call of his companions, Agoura immediately stood up and jumped out of the leaf pit, commanding as she went.
"Whoa~whoa~Meow~~" The monster's screams have been sounding intermittently.
"Scattered in pursuit, the demon beast bit off its leg and fled, everyone quickly disperse to find it!" The shrill voice sounded again, although he didn't hear whose voice it was, but Agoura didn't doubt it at all, it was his own people who could be around here.
He hurriedly ordered the hunters around him who had not yet left to disperse and surround the demon beasts.
The screams of the monsters ceased, and so did the calls of the strange hunters.
Agoura, they thought that the demon beast had escaped, and their companions went in pursuit.
But what they didn't expect was that at this time, Li Hang was quietly lurking in a tree not far in front of them, waiting for their arrival.
That's right, whether it was a miserable howl or the call of the strange hunter behind, it was all from Li Hang's mouth.
He had obtained an ice crystal from the demon snake "Betelgeuse" at the top of the Tooth Peak, and the "lynx" broke through to the consummation realm largely because of absorbing that ice spirit.
However, helping to break through the bottleneck of the exercise is only one of the functions of the Ice Spirit, it can also help the demon beast to open the throat bone and speak human words.
Li Hang was originally a human, and he still knew a lot about human language, plus he had advanced natural language, and after listening to a few conversations with hunters, he quickly mastered this language, so he could shout human voices.
The hunters scattered towards the trap, and Li Hang waited patiently for the hunters to go away.
"Big tree, can you feel the aura of 'holy fruit' on those few people?"
“...... Yes, I feel ......" The big tree under him replied in a muffled voice and stopped making a sound.
"......." is really dead-eyed.
"Ha, I mean, which of them has the aura of 'Holy Fruit'?"
"The breath of the 'holy fruit'...... I know...... But...... I'm not going to tell you...... The thinnest one...... There is a ..... on the body Unless you ...... "This big tree still knows how to negotiate conditions, but it's a pity that it's a little stupid."
"Well, I don't want to know. Responding casually, Li Hang turned around and jumped away.
“...... Give me half of it...... Don't want to know......"
Harba walked through the woods, frowning and thinking: "If the demon beast dies like this, then his beast incense has not been used yet, and won't the money for selling the demon beast in the future become less?" But if you are lucky and arrive first to kill the demon beast, then the income will be considerable." ”
Just as he was thinking, he pushed aside a vine, ready to speed up and try his luck.
"Watch your step, get out of the way!" a sudden voice behind him warned urgently.
Without even thinking about it, Harba took a step back, fell to the ground on his side, rolled over.
"Smack~"
A tail that came out of nowhere was precisely pumped into the back of his head, and Halba fainted on the spot, and the only thought before he fell unconscious was, "Someone did it!"
"Tut-tut, it seems that knowing a foreign language is still very useful at critical times. Walking in front of the unconscious hunter, Li Hang couldn't help but sigh.
Yes, the voice of this reminder was still shouted by Li Hang, and the hunter under his feet was the one who was determined by those big trees to have the 'Holy Fruit'.
"This isn't, this isn't, this? Is this this?"
Li Hang had never seen what the holy fruit looked like, and rummaged through the hunter's arms several times, but he didn't find anything similar to the fruit, only a tightly wrapped incense incense exuded a tempting fragrance after opening the package.
Just smelling this smell, Li Hang felt that the demonic qi in his body was running slowly, and his speed increased by a few points.
Hurriedly swallowed the incense into the "belly of the Tibetan mountain", and then swallowed the rag wrapped in the incense as well.
This is the first time Li Hang has encountered treasures that can directly increase demonic energy, whether it is jade honey in the previous world, Hundred Medicine Monkey Wine, or the Blood Sacrifice Ginseng King and Ice Spirit encountered in this world, although these heavenly and earthly treasures have their own miraculous effects, none of them can directly increase demonic energy.
After searching the hunter's whole body again and making sure that nothing was missed, Li Hang grabbed his throat with one claw and turned to leave.
Although Li Hang will not deliberately kill people, he will definitely not be merciful to any creature who wants to kill him, as long as the other party falls into his hands.
There was no point in continuing to stay in exile, and Li Hang planned to return to the Pig King's territory by the same route.
This is also because he wants to go to the Heavenly Pool at the top of the Tooth Peak again, so that he can ask the snake demon some questions about his cultivation.
At midnight, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
Li Hang, who had been walking for most of the day, found a stone cave in the Gobi Desert where birds don't poop and sealed the entrance of the cave, leaving only a few gaps for the moonlight to shine in.
He was going to use that incense right here.
After getting the incense, Li Hang specially inquired about the authenticity of this thing from a few old trees, and he didn't know how those trees grew, the older the old tree, the slower he spoke.
If it weren't for the fact that these ancient trees were more experienced, Li Hang would have been unable to help but become a lumberjack.
Fortunately, the effect of incense was still inquired, and this kind of incense is a kind of animal incense made from the holy fruit to lure wild beasts when humans inadvertently get the "holy fruit".
When lit, the burning incense will produce a large amount of demonic energy that can be absorbed, thus attracting beasts and demon beasts to come and smoke it.
For beasts and demon beasts, this practice is undoubtedly tyrannical, but humans don't know how to absorb demon qi, they just think that this fruit is better when made into incense.
After some concoction, this finger-thick incense only had one-third of the effect of the complete "Holy Fruit", and if it was absorbed by a beast with poor qualifications, it might even fail to transform the demon beast.
Therefore, Li Hang was naturally very cautious and deliberately chose this relatively closed stone cave to ensure that it could be completely absorbed after lighting the incense.
