Chapter 7: Elixir Fruit
"To be honest with you, we've been training deep in the Stone Mountain for nearly half a month, and we found some good stuff!" Zhou Chen said with a bitter smile.
Wang Shi didn't say anything and just listened quietly.
"We were at the solitary horse gathering point and saw a spiritual fruit tree! Xiang'er recklessly went to pick it, killing a young solitary horse that was chasing us, which led to this disaster!" Zhou Chen said with a bitter smile.
Zhou Xuan looked down with some embarrassment.
"Ling Jiang Guo?" Wang Shi was clearly hearing this name for the first time.
Zhou Chen nodded and said, "The effect of Ling Jiang Guo can be said to be mouth-watering, not only can it temper the body, but also improve one's own strength." The young men's eyes showed some desire.
"Wow!" Wang Shi exclaimed, this fruit is really good!
"Didn't the lone horse's group get annihilated? Where did this talk of help come from?" Wang Shi was somewhat perplexed.
Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "It's true that Du Ma Qun is dead, but not only did he have ideas about the Ling Xuan fruit. In the past, when Du Ma Qun monopolized the Ling Xuan tree, some powerful wild beasts didn't dare to come and snatch the Ling Xuan fruit. However, this time Du Ma Qun is dead, I think it won't be long before those wild beasts go to fight for that Ling Xuan fruit."
Wang Shi was astonished, how could this fruit be so tempting? This also moved Wang Shi's heart.
"I don't know how many spirit-infused fruits are on that tree!" Wang Shi said.
"More than ten!" Zhou Chen said.
Wang Shi fell silent, and everyone waited for his decision. If he agreed, getting the Lingpao fruit would be their greatest gain since they started training.
"Brother Wang, don't worry about it, we've already informed Big Uncle. With his speed, he should arrive at Stone Mountain soon. If we really encounter danger, Big Uncle will help us resolve it." Zhou Chen said.
"Alright then, let's go take a look."
"Haha, let's go." Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen and his group were extremely delighted.
………….
Deep in the stone mountain, at the end of a piece of lush green trees, a bright light suddenly opened up, it is a clean lake, like a mirror, not a ripple, surrounded by half of the forest.
On one side of the lake, an old tree was rooted, with a thick branch and a lush green leaf, and that green was slightly shiny under the sun's shining. At this time, the tree had produced many fruits, which were very full, crystal clear, and mouth-watering.
"This is the Ling Jiang fruit, it only ripens once every two years, and now is the time to pick it!" Zhou Chen and his group hid behind a bush, Wang Shi gazed at the commotion in the distance.
"It won't be long before beasts come to attack. We'll stay here and wait for them to exhaust each other, then we'll make our move." Zhou Chen said.
Wang Shi nodded and observed the surrounding movements.
But after a long time, there were no beasts coming, which made them all puzzled.
"What's going on? It's been so long since you came?" Zhou Qian said at this time, the young man was only twelve years old, with a slightly dark complexion. Very brave, just now in the big battle against the lone horse, he was the first to rush up, and also a child who values loyalty.
"Big brother, why don't we rush up and quickly pick the fruit? It's only twenty or thirty meters away from that tree!" Zhou Hong's face was red, with saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth, looking like he was eager to give it a try. Zhou Hong was a bit chubby, with a protruding belly, and his body was somewhat short and small, looking like a little round ball from afar.
"Fatty, all you know is eating. What nonsense are you talking about? Haven't you had enough of the bitter taste from earlier?" Zhou Kai slapped Zhou Hong's good head and glared at him.
Zhou Xuan and Zhou Xinqquan seemed a bit quiet and well-behaved, the former didn't dare to act rashly after what happened earlier, while the latter had a refined expression, quietly waiting.
After a while.
"Here it comes!"
Ssss
Everyone's gaze was directed at a not-too-distant place, where a huge black python emerged from the bushes, spitting out its tongue, with black scales like armor. However, this python was very cautious and stayed still for a long time before slithering away.
"What a huge snake!" Everyone was stunned, this snake was ten zhang long and as thick as a large water vat.
The snake quickly came to the front of the Lingju fruit tree, then stood up with its forebody, its huge tail coiled into a circle, and bit towards a Lingju fruit.
"This python is at least as powerful as a sixth-level cultivator of the Opening Heaven Realm!" Zhou Chen took a deep breath.
Wang Shi was also shocked, this was his first time seeing such a large python.
At this moment, a green light suddenly descended from the sky and heavily struck the black python's head!
Boom
The black python was knocked to the ground.
That green light was a five or six meter tall green eagle, at this time it flapped its several meters wide wings, the sharp beak had a trace of blood on it, obviously the black python's blood! The small eyes stared at the black python, looking at its prey.
Tweet
The green-feathered eagle shot out its thick, long and sharp claws, rushing straight at the black python.
"Sure enough, this green-feathered eagle has also arrived. When we came here, we saw that green-feathered eagle circling in the sky, and it's been drooling over this spiritual fruit for a long time!" said Zhou Xinquan at this time.
Only saw a green hawk diving down, like a green light.
When
Only saw the green hawk's claws fiercely stabbed into the black python's scales, making a metallic sound.
The black python let out a sharp cry, apparently in great pain, and blood seeped from beneath its dark scales.
Patter patter
The green-feathered eagle flapped its wings vigorously, creating whirlwinds that lifted the black python into the air several meters high!
However, the black python struggled hard, and the green eagle shook violently in mid-air, unable to maintain its balance.
Roar roar
The green hawk kept pecking at the black python's flesh with its beak, and in no time, the black python was covered in blood.
The black python let out a miserable cry, its eyeballs bursting with blood vessels, and suddenly its tail coiled around a giant tree that had been pulled up from the ground, smashing it down on the green-feathered eagle on its back with astonishing softness.
Patter patter
The green-feathered eagle swooped down in attack, releasing the black python, flapping its wings forcefully and avoiding that big tree.
Boom
The black python was crushed by its own weight and fell to the ground, splashing up a layer of mud.
A group of people hiding behind trees suddenly clicked their tongues, this black snake was really cruel to itself.
At this time, the black python was seriously injured, spitting out some grayish-white venom, its eyes on top of its head staring at the green eagle in the not-too-distant sky.
The green-haired eagle also stared at the black python, although the latter was already seriously injured, but cautiously, it still did not dare to act rashly.
The black python spat out its tongue and slithered cautiously, facing its natural enemy.
Tweet
The green hawk swooped down quickly, constantly changing direction in mid-air, while the black python remained motionless.
Pfft
The green hawk triumphed again, its long beak thrust into the black python's side like a short sword.
Roar roar
The black python let out a miserable cry, but everything that followed was unbelievable.
