Volume 1: The Decline of the Yue Family Chapter 59: Thousand-Year Blood Fruit Two Updates Seeking Collection and Recommendation
Yue Cheng landed cautiously at the foot of the cliff, where a thick layer of cloud and mist had gathered in the middle and upper parts of the precipice. In contrast, the lower part was surprisingly clear, giving off an eerie feeling. The place where Yue Cheng stood was covered with lush greenery, and below the precipice lay a valley, where a carpet of grass stretched out, dotted with flowers he had never seen before. A small river flowed along the side of the valley, making it look like a hidden paradise.
Yue Cheng didn't think so, because he felt that there were several powerful demonic beasts in the valley. These few demonic beasts had very strong auras, and Yue Cheng guessed that although they couldn't compare to the Qing Jin Lion, they wouldn't be much weaker either. At the very least, they were above fourth-tier demonic beasts.
Yue Cheng had actually been here for the second time. Yesterday, Yue Cheng came and felt several demonic beasts' auras here, so he immediately escaped. But later, Yue Cheng regretted it a bit - places with demonic beasts guarding them would definitely have some treasures, so Yue Cheng came again today.
Yue Cheng gathered his breath and slowly walked forward. After a moment, Yue Cheng arrived at a slightly raised small hillside, looking at the scene on the other side of the hillside, he involuntarily took in a breath of cool air, two huge magical beasts were surrounding a cave entrance playing together.
"The Unicorn" Two giant magical beasts, Yuke knew, were called Unicorns, fourth-level magical beasts, equivalent to the cultivation of Douling level, but all magical beasts have their own talents, plus the defensive power of magical beasts are relatively abnormal, so fourth-level magical beasts are more difficult to deal with than Douling masters.
These two unicorns look a bit like rhinos, smaller than the qingjin lion, but twice as large as ordinary rhinos. Their entire body is covered with thick green fur, and their eyes are as big as a human head. On top of their heads, they have a sturdy red horn.
Yue Cheng looked at the red horn on top of the unicorn's head and couldn't help but think of killing the beast to take its horn. The sharp horn on the unicorn's head was not only the most powerful part of its body, but also the hardest. Alchemists had no use for it, but he could use it as a material for refining his equipment.
Yue Cheng was just thinking, two unicorns together, he couldn't even run away, let alone have the power to kill them and take their horns. Looking at the cave behind the unicorn, Yue Cheng seemed to faintly smell a fragrance coming from the cave, a light fragrance that carried a hint of spiritual energy.
"There must be treasure inside the cave." Yue Cheng muttered to himself, otherwise the two unicorns wouldn't be guarding the entrance of the cave. Yue Cheng couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency, with the two unicorns guarding the entrance, he had no way of getting in.
Just as Yue Cheng was thinking of a way to enter the cave, two strong gusts of wind suddenly appeared behind him, and two huge figures passed over his head. Fortunately, Yue Cheng's hiding place was behind a depression in the ground, or he would have been discovered.
Just as two huge silhouettes had just passed over Yue Cheng's head, Yue Cheng heard the roars of two unicorns, seemingly very murderous.
"Two Golden Wolves" Yue Cheng hid behind the depression and looked down again, good guy, the two huge shadows that had just jumped over his head were two black golden wolves with a body size only slightly smaller than the unicorn, also four-stage magic beasts, all over their bodies were glossy black, a pair of big eyes with a terrible red light.
The two golden wolves let out a loud howl, showing no fear of the unicorn at all. After letting out a roar towards the unicorn, they began to slowly approach the entrance of the cave.
"Hmm" Two unicorns immediately blocked the two golden wolves, this was their territory, how could they allow other magical beasts to enter.
"It seems that the treasure inside the mountain cave is about to be unearthed." Looking at the reaction of the four demon beasts, Yue Cheng also guessed that the two Golden Wolves were here to rob the treasure inside the mountain cave.
Yue Cheng was originally still unable to enter the cave, but when he saw the arrival of the two Golden Wolves, a hint of a smile appeared on his face. The strength of the two Golden Wolves was similar to that of the two Unicorns, and if they were to fight, he would have an opportunity.
The fragrance inside the cave grew thicker, and upon smelling the fragrance, both the unicorns and golden wolves became somewhat restless. The two golden wolves even approached the entrance of the cave tightly.
The two unicorns let out a loud roar, and then couldn't help but be surrounded by a green glow all over their bodies, fiercely colliding with the two golden wolves.
Two golden wolves also refused to show weakness, and quickly pounced on the two unicorns. In an instant, the four huge magical beasts were entangled in the valley. Because the four magical beasts were fighting at the entrance of the cave, it was not easy for Yue Cheng to sneak into the cave unnoticed. One careless step would be discovered by the four magical beasts, and he might even be attacked simultaneously by all four.
In the valley, sand and rocks flew up, the earth cracked, and the four demon beasts were evenly matched. For a moment, it was hard to tell who was higher or lower. Yue Cheng finally found an opportunity, the battlefield of the four demon beasts slowly shifted to one side, and Yue Cheng took advantage of this opportunity to slowly crawl towards the cave on the ground.
The ground around had already been cracked and split by the four magic beasts' powerful forces, and Yue Cheng happened to be hiding in these places. The four magic beasts were engaged in a fierce battle, so they didn't notice Yue Cheng's existence either.
In a moment, Yue Cheng arrived at the entrance of the cave. The entrance was slightly raised from the ground and had a small platform. Yue Cheng crouched down below the entrance, not daring to go in for the time being. The eyes of the four magical beasts were also paying attention to the entrance, if he was discovered, it would be troublesome.
"Bang" The four magical beasts' massive attack force caused a loud noise, the unicorn's back had already been torn open by two golden wolves, and there were several places on the bodies of the two golden wolves that were bleeding.
Yue Cheng crouched at the entrance of the cave, and the fragrance coming from inside grew thicker and more intense. The spiritual energy within the fragrance also became heavier, and Yue Cheng guessed that there must be some rare medicinal herbs about to emerge from the earth. These treasures of heaven and earth were extremely beneficial, whether for humans or magical beasts.
"Wooo" The fragrance inside the cave grew thicker and thicker, the four magic beasts became more and more impatient. A unicorn let out a loud roar, and on top of its head, the red sharp horn suddenly shone with a red glow, then it galloped forward with its four hooves, bringing rolling dust and sand to crash into a Golden Wolf.
The "Ao" Golden Wolf also refused to show weakness, raised its head and let out a long howl, then pounced on the attacking Unicorn.
Yue Cheng held his breath and took advantage of the unicorn's dust storm to rush into the cave like lightning. As soon as he entered the cave, Yue Cheng sensed a strong fragrance coming from the deepest part of the cave. Without hesitation, he rushed towards the source of the fragrance.
"This is the Millennium Blood Fruit." Yue Cheng finally found the source of the fragrance, and surprisingly, the innermost part of the mountain cave was a naturally formed stalactite cave. The stalactites of varying sizes and milky white color hung from the top of the cave, looking quite beautiful and stunning.
In the middle, there is a small stalactite pool, and a dark red plant about one meter high grows in the pool. On the dark red plant, there are three emerald green leaves as big as a palm, and on top of the plant, two bright red fruits hang like blood, about the size of a baby's fist.
"It's indeed a good treasure." Yue Cheng thought to himself, the effects of the thousand-year-old blood fruit he had known for a long time. With it, he could completely refine it into a fifth-grade elixir, and if taken alone, it would also have great benefits.
Yue Cheng took out two jade boxes from the spatial storage bag. This naturally formed spiritual medicine cannot touch anything in the five elements of heaven and earth, or it will disperse. Only by loading it into a jade box can it be stored. Yue Cheng carefully plucked two thousand-year-old blood fruits and put them into the jade boxes.
With a loud rumble, just as Yue Cheng picked two thousand-year-old Blood Fruits, the entire cave began to vibrate slightly. Some of the thinner stalactites started falling to the ground like an earthquake, and the plants that grew the Thousand-Year Blood Fruits also began to wither away.
"It's bad, the cave is going to collapse." Yue Cheng was shocked in his heart and was sure that it was because he had picked off two Blood Fruits which caused the vibration of the cave. Just as Yue Cheng put away the Thousand Year Blood Fruit into his storage bag, all the stalactites on the top of the cave fell to the ground, and the Luminous Pool inside the cave also dried up strangely.
"Run fast." Yue Cheng's figure was like lightning, rapidly running towards the entrance of the cave. If he were buried in the mountain cave, it would be disastrous. In an instant, the entire huge mountain cave began to collapse downwards, countless massive boulders falling right behind Yue Cheng.
Watching the changes in the cave, the four demon beasts also stopped attacking. The fourth-level demon beasts already had some spiritual intelligence and seemed to have felt that something was wrong inside the cave. They stood at the entrance of the cave, staring intently with their four pairs of eyes fixed on the inside of the cave.
Yue Cheng rushed out of the cave, and if he was a little slower, he would have been crushed in the mountain cave. The huge rocks and mud behind him collapsed tightly on his footsteps, and many broken stones fell on his heels. Just a few meters away from the entrance of the cave, Yue Cheng saw that all four magic beasts were staring at him closely.
"Damn it." Yue Cheng cursed quietly, wanting to hide behind was impossible, and he had to get out of the cave quickly. However, there were two unicorns standing at the entrance of the cave, two golden wolves, and four fourth-level magic beasts. He was no match for them.
"It's over, Blazing Inferno Ball!" Yue Cheng no longer had time to think, his hands formed a familiar hand seal, two streams of Supreme True Fire quickly condensed in front of him into a scorching hot fireball, and at the same time, a protective halo appeared around his body, following the scorching hot fireball as it charged towards the entrance of the cave.
"Ao, wu" Two golden wolves and two unicorns saw a figure running out of the cave, and with their gained spiritual intelligence, they also guessed that Yue Cheng must have stolen the thousand-year-old blood fruit. Each let out a roar and charged towards Yue Cheng who was sprinting out of the cave.
A loud crash, the Blazing Fireball exploded on the two Golden Wolves on the left side, instantly bursting open and emitting a scorching flame. The bodies of the two Golden Wolves were also knocked back several feet. Meanwhile, Yue Cheng's body was heavily rammed by the two Unicorns on the right side.
