"We have already seen some of the monsters in this illusion array. According to my understanding of this illusion array, there should not be too powerful beings in the array, so as long as I take action, I should be able to save all the fruits."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said: "However, whether I can take action or not depends on the situation at that time. The most important purpose of bringing you to the barrier this time is to let you experience it. By then, if something happens
If the monster is one that you can deal with, then I won’t take action. How much fruit you can keep depends on your own abilities."
Seeing that Gu Zheng seemed to be thinking after saying this, Qiao Bai suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Master, why do I think you are planning something for me and Xu Ran?" Qiao Bai said cautiously.
"Yes, since we have to protect the fairy fruit then, if I really don't need to take action, then there must be rewards and punishments for you. As for what the rewards and punishments are, then we will see what you encounter when the time comes.
Let’s go!” Gu Zheng said.
Gu Zheng's words made Qiao Bai and Xu Ran feel pressured. In the following time, in addition to promoting the birth of the fairy fruit, Qiao Bai and Xu Ran walked around the fairy fruit tree, looking up from time to time, and even
Some plans were made to protect the fairy fruit, and their caution made Gu Zheng very satisfied.
The fairy fruit will mature in one day, and the sweet smell in the air will become stronger. Each fairy fruit is surrounded by a dense light and looks very beautiful.
"Master, can we arrange a fairy formation to surround the fairy fruit tree?" Qiao Bai asked.
"Whether it is an immortal formation that can play an isolation role or a ban, these things are taboo when the fairy fruit or the treasures of heaven and earth are about to mature. The fairy fruit that isolates the absolute is about to mature will be harmful.
No benefit at all! However, you can set up the Immortal Array without activating it first, and then activate the Immortal Array when the Immortal Fruit is ripe, then there will be no disadvantages of isolation."
Gu Zheng originally didn't want Qiao Bai and Xu Ran to set up the immortal formation, but in the past two days, the coveting from the upper class became more and more unscrupulous, so he also learned more about the original unknown. He discovered that those from the upper class
There are actually a lot of monsters, maybe more than a hundred! Such a number, even if they are relatively weak, will have a great impact on the completion of Qiao Bai's mission. Although Gu Zheng wanted to give Qiao Bai and Xu
Although there is a test, the test must be within the scope that they can possibly complete.
After hearing what Gu Zheng said, Qiao Bai and Xu Ran were also very happy, but at the same time they were even more cautious! They also understood that the test given to them by Gu Zheng would not be particularly easy. Now that they have been instructed to set up the immortal formation, then
This most likely shows that it will not be easy to protect the fairy fruit by then.
On the third day, the sweet smell in the air became stronger. More than two hundred fairy fruits were finally about to mature. The dense light that originally surrounded them had been sucked in by them, so that the peel became extremely thin.
It gives people the feeling that they are about to explode.
The clouds and mist in the upper level began to surge, strange screams continued to sound, and the heads of monsters were also seen by Gu Zheng and others.
The heads that emerged from the mist looked like monkeys, but they had sharp mouths like mice. There were many of them, but their strength was probably equivalent to that of a cultivator in the realm of becoming a god.
"Now I will give you rewards and punishments! Didn't I say before that when the fairy fruits mature, each person will be rewarded with three fruits? If you can keep not a single fairy fruit from being wasted under the attack of these rat monkey monsters, then if you can
In addition to the original three fairy fruits that were awarded, each of you will be rewarded with seven more fairy fruits, or they can be exchanged for fairy wine brewed in the future. If you fail to protect the fairy fruits, every time the rat monkey monster wastes one, you will be rewarded from
One of your basic rewards will be deducted! If you are wasted too much by the rat monkey monster, you will not even have a share in the fairy wine brewed in the future!" Gu Zheng said seriously.
"We will definitely protect the fairy fruit!"
Qiao Bai and Xu Ran said in unison, and then looked at each other, with deep caution in each other's eyes.
There was no wind around, but the fairy fruit trees were swaying gently. Each fairy fruit shimmered at this time. They were ripe. If they were not picked within a cup of tea, they would turn into heaven and earth again.
Energy dissipates between heaven and earth.
"Open Immortal Formation!"
Qiao Bai shouted, and Xu Ran in the immortal formation immediately cast a spell. The outline of the immortal formation immediately appeared on the originally clean ground, and ten fairy fruit trees were all wrapped in the activated immortal formation.
That is, when Qiao Bai asked Xu Ran to open the fairy formation, rat and monkey monsters dropped from the clouds like dumplings. They screamed and waved at the fairy fruit tree.
The colorless barrier produced by the fairy formation rippled under the wave of the rat monkey monster. Gu Zheng had no doubt that if it were not for the protection of the fairy formation, these rat monkey monsters would not need to be too close to the fairy fruit tree to attack them from a distance.
Take the fairy fruit on the tree into your hands. However, even with the protection of the fairy formation, the rat monkey monsters cannot take the fairy fruit into their hands, but their waving movements still have an impact on the fairy formation.
The fairy fruit was protected by the fairy formation, which made the rat monkey monsters furious. Some of them used magic to attack the colorless barrier of the fairy formation, while others launched attacks on Qiao Bai and Gu Zheng.
"die!"
Gu Zheng waved his hand, and the three rat monkey monsters that attacked him were immediately swept away by the strong wind, and the effect of hitting the cliff was like a watermelon being thrown up.
While they were fighting outside the immortal formation, Xu Ran in the immortal formation was seizing the time to pick the fairy fruits. This was the division of labor and cooperation that he and Qiao Bai had worked out.
Although Xu Ran is an immortal cultivator, he is not very fast in picking fairy fruits. This does not mean that Xu Ran is too stupid, but that he must be particularly careful when picking such berry fairy fruits.
It will explode.
A lot of rat monkey monsters are besieging Qiao Bai, but Gu Zheng is not worried about Qiao Bai's safety. Rat monkey monsters are only monsters equivalent to the middle stage of divine transformation. Qiao Bai's cultivation is already in the late stage of returning to the void. The gap in strength has caused
It's hard for the rat monkey monsters to hurt him.
However, just because Gu Zheng is not worried about Qiao Bai's safety does not mean that Qiao Bai and the others will be able to complete the test well, because among this large group of rat monkey monsters, there is another rat monkey monster that is twice the size of the average rat monkey monster, which is obviously
It is a king's existence.
The existence of the Rat Monkey Monster King naturally aroused Qiao Bai's idea. Qiao Bai also understood the principle of capturing the thief first, but the strength of this Rat Monkey Monster King was not only equivalent to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of returning to the void, but also had
It possesses a special magical power, so that it easily dodged all the several attacks Qiao Bai launched against it.
The Rat Monkey Monster King is not as violent as ordinary Rat Monkey Monsters. It has never taken action against anyone. It is always staring closely at the fairy fruit on the tree. The look in its eyes shows that it is much higher than the average Rat Monkey Monster.
wisdom.
"Squeak!"
The Rat Monkey Monster King called out, and the Rat Monkey Monsters that had been launching a frenzied attack on the colorless barrier immediately launched an attack in another direction.
The attack launched by the rat monkey monsters this time is aimed at a point on the colorless barrier, and this point is the weakest point on the colorless barrier! Even if the rat monkey monsters are not strong enough, if their attack
All aimed at this weak point, the colorless barrier simply cannot sustain a few waves.
The entire colorless barrier shook, and the situation had become very bad, because the rat monkey monster king that had not taken action also began to attack the weak points of the colorless barrier. Since its own strength was already equivalent to returning to the void
For middle-stage immortal cultivators, the destructive power of the rat monkey monster king against the colorless barrier is no less than that of thirty rat monkey monsters attacking at the same time!
"Go to hell!"
Qiao Bai roared angrily and pushed out the 'Cloud Palm' one after another. He finally killed all the rat and monkey monsters that were holding him back.
At this time, there were only more than 70 rat monkey monsters left out of the original one hundred. Even if none of the more than 70 rat monkey monsters were Qiao Bai's opponent, it was inevitable that the colorless barrier would be broken.
Qiao Bai launched an attack on the rat monkey monsters targeting the weak points of the colorless barrier, but this was in vain. Under the command of the rat monkey monster king, the rat monkey monsters no longer just fought stupidly, they also learned to
Fight guerrilla warfare.
The first crack has appeared on the colorless barrier, and its effect is like the first crack appearing on the ice, which spreads in an instant and is extremely terrifying.
Gu Zheng decided to take action. He planned to use the Immortal Realm to take away all the rat monkey monsters. Although he also hoped that Qiao Bai and Xu Ran could complete the test, the rat monkey monster king could see through the weak points of the colorless barrier. This was
A variable that he didn't expect! Once the five-color barrier is broken, the rat monkey monsters only need to wave their hands, and all the fairy fruits left on the tree will be snatched away by them. This is not a scene that Gu Zheng wants to see.
.
However, just when the colorless barrier was about to be broken and Gu Zheng was about to use the Immortal Domain, his brows furrowed and his original plan was canceled because he saw Xu Ran's anxiety in the Immortal Formation.
Xu Ran was indeed very anxious. Although he was busy picking fairy fruits in the fairy formation, he had seen Qiao Bai's battle outside the fairy formation and the crisis of the colorless barrier. He also understood that once the colorless barrier was broken, the tree would be destroyed.
The more than fifty fairy fruits left on the mountain will definitely be taken away by a wave of rat and monkey monsters.
When Xu Ran thought about the failure of the mission, he was going crazy with anxiety. This anxiety made his eyes turn red.
Xu Ran's eyes turned red, which was the reason why Gu Zheng canceled his original plan, because Xu Ran's eyes were different from ordinary people's eyes.
Of course, the reason why he was able to open the 'Eye of False Tao' was because the Xuanmu Civet, a prehistoric alien species, shared the 'Light of Xuanmu' with him.
After helping Xu Ran open the 'Eye of False Tao', Gu Zheng once told Xu Ran that the benefits Xu Ran gained were not just in the way of food! This means that those who possess the 'Light of Mysterious Eyes'
Eyes also have other magical powers! However, whether other magical powers can be awakened depends on Xu Ran's personal destiny.
Under special circumstances, Xu Ran's eyes turned red due to anxiety, which made Gu Zheng think that this should be a precursor to awakening his supernatural powers. Once he used the Immortal Realm to make Xu Ran's pressure disappear, Xu Ran would lose it.
This opportunity to awaken your supernatural powers.
Immortal fruits are very important, but in Gu Zheng's heart, they are not as important as Xu Ran's chance! Although Gu Zheng is not 100% sure that Xu Ran will really be able to awaken any magical powers, he is willing to give Xu Ran this
Opportunity, because Xu Ran is a member of Jixiang Xiaozhu.
"Peng!"
With a loud noise, the colorless barrier of the immortal formation was finally broken through by the rat monkey monsters.
"ah……"
Almost at the same time that the colorless barrier was broken, Xu Ran let out a roar of filial piety, which frightened the restless rat monkey monsters.
"Squeak!"
The cry of the Rat Monkey King sounds, and it wakes up the rat monkey monsters that were frightened by Su Ran.
The awakened rat monkey monsters waved to the fairy fruit tree, and all the fairy fruits on the tree flew towards them.
Xu Ran's roar finally stopped. He lowered his head and his eyes were blood red, and he couldn't see his eyes at all.
Red light emitted from Xu Ran's eyes, and all the rat monkey monsters caught in the sight were frozen, including the fruits that flew towards the rat monkey monster.
"Squeak!"
The Rat Monkey Monster King screamed, it wanted to wake up the Rat Monkey Monsters, but its invincible summons had no effect at this time.
Realizing that the situation was over, the frightened Rat Monkey Monster King was about to fly into the sky.
"Get down here!"
Qiao Bai shouted. He had been shocked by Xu Ran's abnormality just now, but when he saw the Rat Monkey King trying to escape back to the upper level, he immediately used the energy of heaven and earth to suppress the Rat Monkey King.
The Rat Monkey Monster King was originally very sensitive, but that was when Qiao Bai was dragged down by the Rat Monkey Monsters. Now one-on-one, Qiao Bai's pressure from the earth's energy, although it still cannot continue to have an effect on it, can make it unable to continue.
It is still possible to soar into the sky.
"Peng!"
The oppression of the energy of heaven and earth caused the Rat Monkey Monster King to fall to the ground, and the green sword energy Qiao Bai spit out was already approaching.
"call!"
A fairy fruit tree fell under the control of the Rat Monkey Monster King and blocked Qiao Bai's sword attack. The broken fairy fruit tree crashed towards Qiao Bai under its control.
The rat monkey monster is originally a monster with wood attributes, so it is not surprising that the rat monkey monster king can control the fairy fruit tree.
Qiao Bai was fighting with the Rat Monkey Monster King, and the rat monkey monsters that were trapped by Xu Ran started to burn under Xu Ran's continuous gaze.
"squeak……"
A scream came from the mouth of the rat monkey monster king. It was unable to resist Qiao Bai's sharp attack, and was finally pierced through the chest by Qiao Bai's sword.
Joy appeared on Qiao Bai's face. The task that he originally thought was impossible was completed because of Xu Ran's sudden change, which made him want to shout with excitement.
However, Qiao Bai failed to scream in excitement, and his face changed drastically in an instant. He saw Xu Ran's body moving, and the fairy fruit fixed in the air began to shake.
"Qiao Bai, collect the fairy fruit quickly, I can't hold it anymore!" Xu Ran said urgently.
Before Qiao Bai could take action, Gu Zheng swept up all the fairy fruits in the air with a wave of his hand.
"Master, what's going on?"
Qiao Bai had already supported Xu Ran who had fallen down, but Xu Ran had already passed out.
Because Xu Ran had opened the 'Eye of False Tao', Qiao Bai also had some distance from him. But now that he saw Xu Ran passed out, Qiao Bai felt as anxious as if he had seen a fallen relative.
"Let me explore his body first."
Gu Zheng understood that Xu Ran's fainting was actually caused by internal injuries. This was the price to pay for awakening supernatural powers, and this kind of internal injuries was nothing in his eyes. However, Gu Zheng also understood that, as the saying goes,
'A friend in need is a friend indeed', and it is also easy to eliminate barriers in times of adversity, so this is an opportunity to untie Qiao Bai's heart knot. He wants to let Qiao Bai bear the worry for a while longer, and the effect of eliminating barriers will be better.
"He really suffered a serious backlash!"
After finishing the exploration of Xu Ran's body, Gu Zheng's brows furrowed tightly.
"then what should we do?"
Qiao Bai asked anxiously. Seeing the anxiety in his eyes, Gu Zheng also smiled in his heart.
"I will use my immortal power to heal his injuries first, and then I may need to cook another therapeutic diet for him."
Gu Zheng had already begun to treat Xu Ran's injuries. Looking at Xu Ran who was still in a coma, Qiao Bai also felt guilty in his heart.
You need to do a complete set when acting. Originally, Xu Ran would wake up after using Xian Li to heal his injuries, but Gu Zheng did not let Xu Ran wake up and made him take one more diet therapy.
After Xu Ran woke up, Qiao Bai was obviously much more enthusiastic about him than before, which made Xu Ran feel a little uncomfortable.
"Xu Ran, that magical power you awakened before is so powerful!"
Qiao Bai paused and sighed with emotion: "If you hadn't awakened such magical powers at the critical moment, our mission would have really failed."
"Yeah! I didn't expect to be able to awaken such magical powers."
Xu Ran's voice was also filled with emotion, but more of it was filled with relief, a sense of satisfaction at completing a task.
"Actually, the magical power I awakened is not that powerful. It can only immobilize those things whose realm is lower than mine. Otherwise, I would have immobilized the Rat and Monkey Monster King at that time, which would have saved you a few more rounds of fighting with him.
" Xu Ran said.
"The magical power you have awakened is already a very powerful magical power, belonging to the same level of suppression! This magical power, even for the Xuanmu Civet Cat itself, is a trump card level magical power!"
Gu Zheng smiled and continued: "As far as taking you out for training this time, you have already gained a lot. With such a magical power at your side, in the future, after you leave Jixiang Xiaozhu, I will be able to learn more.
rest assured."
"Sir, after I leave the barrier this time, I want to leave Jixiang Xiaozhu." Xu Ran thought for a while and said.
"Okay! Do you have any plans?" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
It was Gu Zheng's plan to let Xu Ran and Huang Ying leave Jixiang Xiaozhu, but he did not expect that Xu Ran would eventually bring up the matter.
"I plan to try my luck in the world of cultivation. I feel like this kind of life is very addictive. After a few years, I want to open a fairy kitchen restaurant." Xu Ran said.
"Okay, it's a good plan, but the world of cultivation is quite dangerous, so you have to be careful in everything." Gu Zheng said.
"I understand, sir." Xu Ran nodded.
When he first heard Gu Zheng say that Xu Ran and Huang Ying would be allowed to leave Jixiang Xiaozhu after this experience was over, Qiao Bai thought it was nothing. But when he heard about it again, Qiao Bai felt more worried.
Some sadness.
"Master, are we going to the top of the mountain next?"
