Chapter 4 Fruitless Fruits

The back mountain of Wutu tribe is lush with trees and dense weeds, with snakes, insects, rats and ants hiding. At the deepest part of the back mountain is a cliff. Although it is only dozens of feet high, there is a turbulent river below the cliff.

I heard that there is a strange water algae with extremely strong attack type living in the river. If you accidentally fall down, you will be entangled by these water algae in an instant. Even warriors who climb to the high level dare not wade easily.

This place has always been a customary forbidden place for the Wutu tribe. People are not allowed to stay here to avoid accidents. Although no one is guarding it, no one dares to come here on weekdays.

However, there are exceptions among them, such as Wu Ling. When he was a child, his father Wu Peng took her to the back mountain to find herbs for Bai Feng or to catch some small wild beasts. This is also a kind of exercise for Wu Ling, so Wu Ling is quite familiar with the back mountain of the tribe.

Along the way, the two walked between the weeds in the dense forest. Xiang Yun followed Wu Ling. Wu Ling held a short knife in his hand and skillfully pushed the weeds to open the way.

At this moment, Wu Ling's body bent slightly, his legs bent slightly, as if a beast hidden in the dense forest, and his footsteps fell even more lightly. While the short knife in his hand pushed away the weeds, the blade turned as he turned.

Occasionally, hares, pheasants, or poisonous snakes hiding in the weeds appear, and a silver light flashes by. These beasts are killed by a single blow without even wailing.

This is the first time Xiang Yun saw Wu Ling take action. Compared with the Five Cloud Warriors in Tianxuan Continent, Wu Ling, a warrior who is on the fifth level of body tempering, has more than one level higher in terms of reaction speed and accuracy of attacks.

It seems that because of the years of hunting and wandering on the brink of danger, the actual combat capabilities of warriors in the Wild Continent are undoubtedly better than those of Yunwu in the Tianxuan Continent!

Along the way, Wu Ling protected Xiang Yun behind him. Although there were no wild beasts in the back mountain, there were still many ordinary wild beasts and poisons.

However, Xiang Yun's divine thought power had already explored the nearby plants and trees. No creatures in the grass could escape his exploration and did not find any danger. Instead, he sensed several strong spiritual power fluctuations, which should be the spiritual medicine for growth!

Sure enough, when the two of them advanced dozens of feet away, Wu Ling stopped at a place where spiritual power gathered, and saw an emerald green grass growing among the piles of weeds in front of him.

At first glance, this grass is no different from the surrounding weeds, but if you look closely, you will find that in the center of the grass, a few light yellow roots as thin as hair swing with the wind, emitting a faint glow in the darkness.

Seeing this, Wu Ling showed joy.

"Spiritual beard grass! This is a good thing, and its spiritual power is comparable to the essence and blood of a level 3 wild beast. It seems that we are lucky!"

At that moment, Wu Ling squatted down and carefully cut off the roots of the grass without destroying its rhizomes. He also handed a small ring of silk thread around the city to Xiang Yundao.

"Put it away, follow me, put your eyes a little sharper, and immediately tell me what you see if there is something abnormal or that glows in the air!"

Wu Ling completely regarded Xiang Yun as a so-called character. At this moment, Xiang Yun's cloth bag was filled with pheasants and hares hunted by Wu Ling.

Xiang Yun didn't say much, and directly put the Linghou Grass in his bag, followed Wu Ling closely, and watched with all his duty, as if helping Wu Ling find spiritual medicine together.

Of course, Wu Ling was simply more likely to find the spiritual medicine than nothing. It was extremely difficult to find rare spiritual medicines in such dense weeds. Even if she is experienced, she would pick up at most seven or eight spiritual medicines in one night.

"Hey...where does it seem like there is a red wild flower?"

Suddenly, just as Wu Ling concentrated on looking for the spiritual medicine, Xiang Yun beside him spoke.

Wu Ling was stunned when she heard this and asked quickly.

"Where?"

“It’s right there!”

Xiang Yun pointed to the front right, more than ten feet away.

After hearing this, Wu Ling looked carefully for a moment, and finally found a faint bright red in the messy weeds.

Without having time to think about it, Wu Ling quickly moved towards that direction.

After a while, a bunch of them had already appeared in Wu Ling's hand, with pentagonal leaves growing and small red flowers with petals.

The flower is only the size of a little finger, with its rhizomes thin and short, and looks very fragile, but if you pull it hard, you will find that it is very tough.

"Iron pattern flowers!"

Wu Ling directly called out the name of this flower. This is indeed a spiritual medicine, and the spiritual power it contains is even higher than that of the Spirit Beard Grass.

Looking at the iron pattern in her hand, Wu Ling was very happy. After searching for it for a while, she found the second spiritual medicine. It was indeed worthy of gratitude, but then she showed suspicion.

"Xiang Yun, how did you discover it?"

You know, it is now at night. Although there are many fireflies flying around, the surroundings are still very dark. Even with Wu Ling's eyesight, the distance you can see is very limited.

The iron pattern is already very low and light in color, and is hidden in the weeds. It would be difficult for her to discover it without Xiang Yun’s reminder, but how did Xiang Yun, an ordinary person, find it?

Xiang Yun said without panic.

"Miss Wuling doesn't have to be surprised... My eyes are a little special, and I see clearly at night than ordinary people. In the past, the tribesmen of our tribe had to take me to help them find prey when they went out to hunt."

After hearing what Xiang Yun said so seriously, Wu Ling nodded half-believingly and continued to search.

...

In the next hour, under the search of Xiang Yun's "special eyes", Wu Ling actually harvested more than a dozen spiritual medicines, including one that was comparable to the essence and blood of a level 6 wild beast, which made Wu Ling very ecstatic.

"Xiang Yun, I can't tell that you have this ability. No wonder you are so weak. There is still a tribe willing to take you in!"

When Xiang Yun heard this, he felt speechless. Is he praising himself?

"Do we still want to continue picking?" Xiang Yun asked. There were no more spiritual medicines nearby within his divine perception.

Wu Ling shook her head and said.

"No need, these elixirs alone have been enough for us to take for a while. We pick too many at once, and it will be bad if we attract other people's attention."

"Then let's go back now?" Xiang Yun asked.

Wu Ling was about to nod, but suddenly remembered something.

"Wait a moment!"

After saying that, Wu Ling pulled Xiang Yun and walked towards the cliff in the distance.

"Well...Miss Ling'er, are you?"

Wu Ling did not answer, and led Xiang Yun all the way to the edge of the cliff. Faced with the whizzing cold wind, the sound of low and turbulent water flowing faintly came to his ears.

Standing by the abyss, there was clouds and mist under the cliff, and darkness blocked the view of the two of them, but Xiang Yun could clearly see that a wide river was rushing past under the cliff.

The water flows very fast, and there are many dark and unclear vortexes on the surface, which look very ferocious!

At this time, Wu Ling was walking along the edge of the cliff, as if looking for something.

After a while, Wu Ling stopped in front of a circular stone placed on the edge of the cliff. She bent down and looked down at the cliff for a while, but suddenly let out a surprise cry!

"too

OK, it’s already mature!”

"Um……?"

Xiang Yun was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the cliff, but his vision was blocked by a huge rock and he could not see anything. He immediately mobilized his mind and swept it past.

With the reach of spiritual thoughts, Xiang Yun discovered a plant growing on the stone wall more than ten feet below the cliff.

This is a plant about one foot tall, with its rhizomes appearing fiery red, and an oval purple fruit grows at the end, which contains a faint spiritual power.

"Um……?"

Xiang Yun was puzzled and came to Wu Ling's side. He saw that there was a sag on the rock wall where Wu Ling was. He could see the hiding place of this spiritual medicine.

Wu Ling then told Xiang Yun that this thing is called the heartless fruit, which is a rare spiritual medicine. I heard that it has extremely strong medicinal effects on martial artists in the High Level.

This was discovered when Wu Ling was playing here with his father when he was a child. Wu Ling's father was there at that time. He told Wu Ling that the fruit of this heartless fruit is still green and not yet ripe. Once the fruit grows purple, it will be fully ripe and can be picked.

Since then, Wu Ling has come here to check it quietly almost every other month, but the fruits have always been green. I didn’t expect that I suddenly remembered this spiritual medicine today. When I saw it, it was ripe.

"You're waiting for me here, I'll go down and pick this herb!"

As he said that, Wu Ling handed the several spiritual medicines in his hand to Xiang Yun and pulled out the dagger on his waist.

Before Xiang Yun could say more, Wu Ling had already turned over skillfully and jumped down to the edge of the cliff!

After falling more than one meter high, the dagger in her hand quickly pierced forward and directly penetrated into the cliff. The dagger slashed several inches down along the rock wall. Wu Ling's body hung directly on the cliff wall, and at the same time stepped on a raised rock wall to relieve the force.

After looking at the situation below, Wu Ling almost stopped at all and continued to repeat these movements. She was like a clever ape, falling on the cliffs until she fell to about ten feet away. Wu Ling's movements gradually slowed down.

At this moment, there are still seven or eight feet away from the heartless fruit below, but at this time the mountain wind is blowing, the dew is heavy at night, and the cliff is very wet and slippery. Even Wu Ling has to be careful and careful.

After a while, Wu Ling finally arrived next to the heartless fruit. She obviously had already imagined how to pick it, and she was not panicked at all.

I saw her hanging on the edge of the cliff with one hand, pulling out a short knife from her leather boots with the other hand, gently slashing the rhizome of the heartless fruit.

The rhizome was cut off and the fruit fell instantly. Wu Ling hooked lightly under his feet and immediately reached out to grab the fruit. Everything went very smoothly.

A hint of joy appeared on Wu Ling's face, and at the same time, Xiang Yun on the cliff was relieved and shouted quickly.

"Miss Ling'er, come up quickly."

Wu Ling nodded and immediately climbed up the rock with the short knife and dagger in her hand. Although she was a warrior on the fifth level of body tempering, walking on the cliff for a long time still consumed a lot of her physical strength, and the climbing speed was obviously much slower.

About dozens of breaths passed. Seeing that Wu Ling had climbed halfway, only five or six feet away from the top of the cliff, Xiang Yun, who was about to attract Wu Ling, suddenly changed his face and suddenly turned his head to look at the cliff wall shrouded in fog.

"Come up!" Xiang Yun immediately let out a low shout!

"Hmm..." Wu Ling below was stunned when she heard this.

"Shit..."
