Chapter 52: Discovering the Spirit Fruit
"Well, looking at its dark green appearance, it should be a green spirit snake!" Hua Zheng said, and then looked over to the grass.
"Sister Zheng, what are you looking for?" Xiao Lin asked curiously when he saw this.
Hua Zheng glanced twice, then retracted his target and smiled at Xiao Lin: "Brother Xiao Lin, it seems that we are lucky, according to my understanding of the green spirit snake, there should be a kind of spirit fruit growing near the place where it haunts." ”
"Spirit Fruit?"
Hearing these two words, Xiao Lin's eyes suddenly lit up, in the morning, he and Zong Song tried to ask for the spirit fruit, but now he didn't think that he could get it in person.
Seeing Xiao Lin like this, Hua Zheng shook his head helplessly and continued: "Brother Xiao Lin, I'm just guessing, I don't know if it's really or not." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, if there are any traces of us following this snake crawling in the past, don't you know if you look at it!" Xiao Lin smiled lightly.
If he could really get the spirit fruit, it would be of great help to his cultivation, even if it was only the lowest-level spirit fruit, then Xiao Lin believed that a good pill could be formed under the refining of the little gourd.
As he spoke, Xiao Lin didn't even glance at the green spirit snake lying on the ground and was dying, and walked towards the grass.
"Hey, Xiao Lin, can we not go!" Watching Xiao Lin walk in the direction where the snake was found, Shanshan hid behind Hua Zheng and poked her head out and asked weakly.
Hearing Shanshan's words, Xiao Lin's footsteps stopped, and then he turned around and looked at Shanshan who was hiding behind Hua Zheng with a curious expression.
This Shanshan used to give Xiao Lin the feeling that she was a small ghost, but now, if he suspected that this Shanshan's fear was fake, then now he is sure that this girl is really afraid of snakes.
"Uh, what's that?"
Seeing that Shanshan was really afraid of snakes, Xiao Lin hesitated for a while, but he also really needed the spirit fruit, so he was in a dilemma for a while.
Hua Zheng could see from Xiao Lin's face that he really wanted to go over and have a look, but because of Shanshan's relationship, he was in a dilemma.
"Brother Xiao Lin, otherwise I'll stay with Shanshan, and you can go and have a look by yourself. Hua Zheng thought for a moment, and then suggested.
"Well, that's it, Xiao Lin, go and come back quickly, Sister Zheng and I are waiting for you here!" Shanshan nodded hurriedly.
Since a snake had just appeared in this vicinity, it was absolutely impossible for Shanshan to stay here alone, so after listening to Hua Zheng's words, she quickly nodded in agreement, for fear that Hua Zheng would change her mind and leave her here alone.
"Okay, then I'll go over and take a look alone, but don't waste your time staying here, there may be spiritual herbs and other medicinal herbs around here, you two can look for them casually, I'll go and go back!" Xiao Lin nodded, and then he ran quickly towards the grass.
Hua Zheng has the cultivation of the ninth layer of Qi training, and Shanshan's strength is not weak, so Xiao Lin is not worried about the safety of the two of them, after all, this is only halfway up the mountainside, according to Ling Qi's introduction, the strength of the spirit beasts in this place is at most about the seventh or eighth layer of Qi training.
In this way, Xiao Lin disappeared from the sight of Hua Zheng and the others after a while.
"Let's go, let's not stand here stupidly, let's go around here and see if there is any spirit grass or something!" Glancing at Shanshan, Hua Zheng said helplessly.
If it weren't for Shanshan, Hua Zheng would also want to follow Xiao Lin to have a look.
"Sister Zheng, I knew that you were the best for me!" understood that it was because of her relationship that Hua Zheng was willing to stay, so Shanshan was particularly moved in her heart.
In this way, Hua Zheng and Shanshan did not stand in place and waste time, but the two of them held hands and began to look for this vicinity.
On Xiao Lin's side, I saw him looking for the traces of the green spirit snake crawling on the ground little by little, and at the same time, the spiritual power in his body was running in a slow way, and once something happened, he could react immediately.
At first, the traces on the ground were obvious, but gradually the traces faded, and by the time Xiao Lin walked for five minutes, the traces on the ground had completely disappeared.
"Gone?"
Looking at the ground where the traces had disappeared, Xiao Lin's brows furrowed slightly, and only then did he notice that he seemed to have walked a long way.
"Since there are no traces, it means that the snake should live around here!" muttered in his heart, and Xiao Lin began to look around.
Since he had no clue, Xiao Lin could only search for it at will, but as time passed minute by minute, he still did not find any trace of the spirit fruit.
"Didn't you?"
After searching for nearly twenty minutes, Xiao Lin couldn't help but give up, because before Hua Zheng only said that there might be a spirit fruit, which means that there may be no more, and now that he has been looking for twenty minutes and has not found it, it should be gone.
Since he couldn't find it, Xiao Lin naturally wanted to go back the way he came and join Hua Zheng and them, but he didn't take a few steps and he was stunned.
The trees around him were almost the same, and before his attention was focused on finding the spirit fruit, he didn't discern the surrounding environment, but now he was dumbfounded when he turned around.
"Where are the marks on the ground?"
I don't know how to go back, Xiao Lin is not in a hurry, he remembers that when he came over, he followed the traces of the snake crawling, so as long as he found the trace, he could return the same way.
But he'd been walking around here for twenty minutes, and the snake's trail had long since faded to this place, so how could he still find it.
"Isn't it!"
When he found that he couldn't even find the traces of the snake, Xiao Lin was a little speechless, but he had to go back, otherwise Hua Zheng and the two would definitely have to be anxious if they couldn't see him.
So Xiao Lin chose a path with the vague impression in his mind, and then walked in a straight line little by little.
Xiao Lin didn't feel it at first, but after walking for less than five minutes, he found that the surrounding environment didn't seem to be the same as before, as if he was not walking back.
Lost!
Now Xiao Lin had to admit that he was really lost, there was no way, who let these trees and grass around him grow almost the same, and he lost his way if he was not careful.
But even if he gets lost, Xiao Lin still has to go, he can't stand where he is and wait for Hua Zheng and them to find him.
"Forget it, since I can't meet Hua Zheng and them, then I'll look for it on this mountain alone. Xiao Lin muttered in his heart, and then his steps gradually accelerated.
Half an hour later, Hua Zheng looked at the direction of Xiao Lin's departure and felt a little anxious, after all, if he was just looking for it around here, then he should have come back at this time.
"It can't be that something is wrong!" Hua Zheng couldn't help but have this thought in her heart, but she quickly dispelled this thought again, after all, Xiao Lin now is not the Xiao Lin who needs her protection.
"Sister Zheng, don't worry about that guy, he can even win the ninth layer of Qi training, even if he encounters a more powerful spirit beast, he will be fine, besides, there is a spiritual power protection cover at a critical time!" Shanshan looked at Hua Zheng, who was a little anxious, and immediately comforted him.
Shanshan's words made sense, so Hua Zheng stopped thinking after a while, she believed that Xiao Lin should have other reasons for not coming back, rather than being in danger.
"Let's go, Sanshan, let's go and have a look elsewhere!"
Since she didn't wait for Xiao Lin to come back, Hua Zheng knew that she couldn't wait here, because it was still during the competition, although she had a lot of points, but if she didn't pick more spiritual herbs, it was very likely that her ranking would be squeezed out of the top ten.
That's it, so Hua Zheng must work hard, because if she gets the reward of the spirit pool, it is very likely that she will directly succeed in building the foundation.
And when Hua Zheng and Shanshan went to other places to look for spiritual herbs, Xiao Lin was cautiously hiding behind a big tree at this time.
"Hiss!"
Another hissing sound sounded in Xiao Lin's ears, yes, after searching in the mountains and forests indiscriminately, he encountered a green spirit snake again, and this time the green spirit snake was longer and thicker than the previous one.
"Goo-dong!"
Xiao Lin, who was hiding behind the big tree, looked ahead with bright eyes, and then he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and said: "It seems that what Sister Zheng said is not wrong, where there is a green spirit snake, there is really a spirit fruit." ”
That's right, Xiao Lin only saw the green spirit snake of * and didn't leave, it was because he saw a fruit tree not far from the green spirit snake crawling, and the tree had several fruits on it at this time, but only one of them exuded a faint aura, and the others didn't seem to be ripe yet.
But even if it was just a spirit fruit, it would have seduced Xiao Lin deeply, as long as he got this spirit fruit, then his cultivation could be shortened a lot of time by advancing to the ninth level of qi training.
So this one spirit fruit he has to get.
Although the previous green spirit snake was almost killed by Xiao Lin with one blow, but now the green spirit snake in front of him is much more than the previous one, so the strength of this one must be stronger than the previous one.
At this time, the green spirit snake was crawling on the ground, and it should be resting looking at it, so Xiao Lin thought if he could sneak over and pick the spirit fruit first, so as not to destroy the spirit fruit when he got into a fight.
If it were someone else, it would be really difficult to do, because the spiritual power in their bodies would emit a faint spiritual power fluctuation even if they were not used, so as long as they got closer, the spiritual power fluctuation on their bodies would immediately wake up the green spirit snake.
But Xiao Lin is different, most of the spiritual power in his body is stored in the spiritual veins, so as long as he doesn't use the spiritual power, there will be no spiritual power fluctuations in his body at all, and this is the main reason why he wants to sneak over.
