Chapter 2 Nine Yang Sun Fruit
The stream is flowing happily, clear and transparent, but you can't see the bottom of the stream at a glance, giving people a sense of mystery, this small stream is about a few feet wide, and the flow is relatively gentle. There is no green grass on the bank of this creek, only a red soil with some red "grass" growing on it, and these small grasses are mostly drilled out of the cracks in the stones, which shows the tenacity of its vitality.
At the end of this soil, there are two hundred zhang high mountains, the mountains are reddish, strange rocks are phosphorus, and there are some strange plants, some are like weeds but several feet high, some look like fruit trees from a distance, but there are sparks constantly coming out of the trees, which is very weird! If you look down from the heights, you will see that these are two strange similar mountains, and between them a mysterious valley is formed, a stream several feet wide flows slowly, with no beginning and no end, and on either side of it is a red soil, covered with gravel, large and small, and some weeds scattered around!
The fact that volcanic magma erupts every once in a while is the result of the solidification of the rubble on the ground in these two mountains, shows that the stream is not buried by the magma, which shows that there must be something extraordinary about this stream. Over time, this valley is known as the Valley of Flames, due to the existence of two volcanoes, gradually a fire poison was born here, free from this world, so that there are some rare spirit grasses here, if ordinary people come to this place either dead or injured, of course, occasionally some strong people come here to look for spirit grass.
On the right bank of the creek at this moment, there is a figure walking along the stream, from far to near, this is a young man in green shirts, with a delicate appearance, and there are constantly fiery red points of light surging towards the young man in green shirts, but he has never been able to enter the young man's body. "The fire poison here really lives up to its reputation, and I can barely resist the erosion of the fire poison with one percent of my strength. The young man secretly said in his heart: "The top priority at the moment is to find the Jiuyang Scorching Sun Fruit first, if it is too late, I am afraid that it will ......" Thinking of this, the young man's eyes showed a look of worry, and there was a trace of self-blame.
The young man in the green shirt kept looking, but never found anything, then the young man came to the stream, and found that there was a spiritual grass growing on an irregular stone on the bank, which looked like a flower but not a flower, like grass but not grass, with grass leaves and rhizomes, and at the top of it there was a purple flower, this flower had nine petals, and it was faintly visible that the surrounding fire poison continued to gather towards this flower, and was absorbed by it. "This is hydrangea, according to the classics, this flower usually grows near the Jiuyang scorching sun, also known as the Jiuyang associated flower, with its medicinal power, no matter what, it is better to pick this flower first!"
There is a gorgeous cloth bag tied around his waist, only the size of a palm, but there is a lot of things inside, the young man opened the bag, and took out a shovel and a wooden box from it, the shovel is small and exquisite, it is pitch black, and the wooden box has complex runes on it, which is made of thousand-year-old spirit wood, so that the spirit grass put into it will not lose its medicinal properties, and the magic is endless! The young man put the wooden box on the ground, and shoveled it near the rhizome of the hydrangea with a shovel, and when it touched the stone, it was like cutting tofu, silently, and neatly.
The young man couldn't help but sigh: "This shovel is worthy of being made of dark iron, it is so sharp, I must ask the master to use the dark iron to create a magic weapon for me when I go back!" The young man dug a few more shovels in a row, and the rhizome of the hydrangea was completely exposed. The young man held the spirit grass in his right hand and pulled it up with a slight force, then opened the wooden box, put the hydrangea into the box, and then put the wooden box and shovel into the cloth bag.
After doing this, the teenagers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the flowing stream, their eyes full of curiosity. In fact, this stream was originally very ordinary, and did not attract anyone's attention, but a hundred years ago, there was a strong man, who reached the realm of flying to the sky, this person was extremely conceited, and came here originally just to find the spirit grass, but found that this stream could not be seen at a glance, you must know that the person's eyesight can easily see the sand and gravel at the bottom of the river even if it is a river, but he can't see through a stream. The man thought that there must be some kind of treasure hidden at the bottom of the stream, and thought that his magic power was heavenly, so he jumped directly into the stream, and as you can imagine, the man disappeared from the eyes of the world.
This stream began to attract the attention of the major sects, and they came to explore, but there was no gain, but they lost some disciples who entered the stream, and since then people have named this stream "Styx Stream", and its meaning can be imagined. The young man in the green shirt slowly lowered his right hand into the stream, and as soon as his fingertips touched the surface of the water, the young man quickly withdrew his right hand, "Sizzle...... It's really cold and biting, just like the rumors!" The young man couldn't help but be amazed: "I didn't expect such a cold stream to appear in such an environment, and it was not frozen in ice, I really want to go down and find out." Of course, the boy was just thinking about it, and even if he had that idea, he didn't dare to gamble with his life.
The young man in the green shirt was about to continue looking for the Jiuyang Scorching Sun Fruit, but there was a feeling of shaking the mountain, at this time, there was billowing black smoke rising from the top of the opposite peak, and the mountain was also shaking, and the mountain rocks were constantly rolling down from the mountain, crashing on the ground, and the gravel on the ground was also shaking. The boy watched the sand and gravel fly away around him, although he was surprised, but he didn't have time to think, just to avoid the impact of the stone, at this time a huge boulder rushed towards the boy, and was about to hit it, the boy turned over and rolled to the right side of the tanuki, barely dodging.
The young man said secretly: "Fang Cai is really dangerous, if I haven't found the Jiuyang Scorching Sun Fruit before the volcano erupts, I have to leave this place first." There was a loud bang, and dust and smoke rose on the ground, and it was the sound of the boulder that had just hit the boy and the stones on the ground colliding with each other. The young man looked there, and saw that there was a spirit tree several feet high in a pile of rubble, the stems, leaves and fruits of this tree were all fiery red, and there were nine fruits the size of a dragon's eye on the top branches and leaves of the tree, these fruits formed an arc, which looked very strange, and there were a large amount of fire poison gathered in the fruit around it, which could not be seen there due to the obstruction of the mountain rocks before, but now it can be seen clearly. When the young man saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile and said: "It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there! So saying, he walked towards it.
The young man came to the side of this spiritual tree, but saw a strange light appearing on his body, and the young man said secretly: "I didn't expect the fire poison here to be so strong, it seems that the fruit on this tree is ripe." The young man took out the previous wooden box from the cloth bag on his waist, there was a flash of thunder on his palm at this time, his right hand stretched forward, and he picked nine fruits in his hand at once, and the fragrance came to his nose, at this time the young man felt a burning sensation in his right hand, and quickly put it into the box, and then put the wooden box into the cloth bag.
The young man in the green shirt was about to leave this place, but he heard a sound of breaking the sky, and when he looked up, he saw a fireball several feet in size rolling in, almost exceeding the speed of sound, and he was still on the opposite side of the stream a moment ago, and came to the young man in the blink of an eye. If it really hits him, even if he has peerless magic skills, he won't feel good. Of course, the boy would not be stupid enough to resist this fierce fireball, only to see that there were overlapping shadows around him, and the next moment the fireball passed through the overlapping shadows of the young man, and at this time, the young man in green shirt came to a flat ground a few feet away from his original position, his face was slightly pale, his steps were vain, and there was no other discomfort.
"Roar!roar!" a tiger-like roar resounded throughout the valley, and there was a clear sense of anger in the roar. On the other side of the creek appeared a tiger-shaped creature, which looked like a ball of fire from a distance, with fiery red fur, as high as a zhang, full of momentum. The fireball just now is the talent of this tiger, but it can't be used again in a short period of time, the young man in green shirt looked at the giant tiger with a look of enlightenment in his eyes, and shouted: "Red Flame Tiger, I think you are about to open your spiritual intelligence, if you can understand my words, you can leave quickly, if you are still obsessed, then there is only a dead end!" The Red Flame Tiger listened to the young man's words and did not retreat but rushed towards the young man, the smoke and dust on the ground were fluttering, and the debris was flying, and the young man looked at the volcano opposite with black smoke, the smoke became thicker and thicker, and a few sparks could be faintly seen floating in the black smoke, which showed that this volcano may erupt in less than a moment.
Then the young man looked at the galloping Red Flame Tiger, this tiger has reached the bank of the creek quickly, the speed is extremely fast, there seems to be a heavy tiger shadow, the young man in the green shirt is also full of war intent at this moment, and shouted loudly: "If you want to fight, then fight!" There are many gravel under the feet of the young man, the big one is like a grinding plate, and the small one is only like the Jiuyang Burning Sun Fruit, I saw the young man's right foot raised and kicked forward, extremely fast, Peng! The grinding disc-sized stone under his feet suddenly flew out and rushed towards the Red Flame Tiger, which jumped up, stretched out its front paws and grabbed at the stone, boom! The boulder shattered in an instant, and the rubble flew away. At this time, the Red Flame Tiger also jumped over the Stygian Creek, which was only a few zhang wide, and glared angrily at the young man in green shirt, and the distance between the two was less than ten zhang.
