"What are you talking about, sir? Without the umbrella you brought out, I would have been soaked in the rain."
The scorpion woman carried Xu Chunniang on her back and walked steadily towards the hillside, "It's raining so heavily, and I don't know when it will stop. I never thought that one day I would be in such a mess."
Embarrassing? Maybe, but when Xu Chunniang was going through the tribulation period, she experienced many more embarrassing moments than now, and she still survived.
Now, she just lost her strength and cultivation, but at least her five senses were still there, so she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
"Watch your steps, there are places where it's easy to miss the mark, so walk steadily."
"Hello!"
The Scorpion Woman walked as fast as she could, carrying Xu Chunniang on her back as if she had nothing on her back. She walked very fast, leaving behind the rising water level.
"If it only rains a little bit on this Spirit Demon Island, it won't be difficult."
As soon as she finished speaking, the scorpion woman's stomach began to growl.
A look of surprise appeared on her face, "I suddenly felt a little hungry, but with my level of cultivation, how is this possible?"
"Nothing is impossible. Now that you have lost your demonic energy, it is normal to feel hungry."
Saying that, Xu Chunniang took out some spiritual fruits that grew naturally in the small world.
It's just that as soon as these spiritual fruits were taken out, they were inexplicably broken like the previous spiritual crystals and magic crystals.
There was clarity in her eyes. Sure enough, the level of the spirit fruit was too low to withstand the evil aura.
Only higher-grade magic weapons, talismans, seals and other objects can barely resist the invasion of evil spirits.
Crab Girl realized something was wrong, "We are on the Spirit Demon Island, just like the mortals in the lower world. Not only do we have no cultivation, but we also feel hungry and tired. If there is no food, we may even starve to death here."
"Don't worry, since there are trees growing on Lingmo Island, there must be food."
Xu Chunniang closed her eyes, felt the source of the evil spirit, and pointed a direction for the Scorpion Woman, "Go here, the evil energy here is the thinnest."
The scorpion woman walked in the direction pointed by Xu Chunniang for a while. There were more and more trees along the way, and the rain became lighter.
The scorpion woman was very excited, "I have a hunch that we have chosen the right path. If we walk for an hour or two, the rain may stop."
"Don't take it lightly. This is just our first day on the island. After the rain stops, there will be other troubles waiting for us."
"yes."
The scorpion woman realized that she was happy too early, so she suppressed the smile on her face and continued on her way in silence.
After climbing up a tall mountain, she was about to continue on her way, but was signaled by Xu Chunniang to lower herself.
"Look ahead."
The scorpion woman looked up and her pupils suddenly shrank.
There is a huge tree growing on the mountainside not far away. There are seven large and round fruits on the tree, three of which are black and four of which are red.
Whether they are black or red fruits, they all sparkle with an attractive luster, making people unable to help but have the urge to pick them off and devour them at all costs.
The scorpion woman stared at the fruit for a while, licked her lips, and then looked away with difficulty.
On both sides of the trees, there were two groups of people confronting each other in a tense manner.
One of the group of people was tall and thick, and they looked like they were from the devil world.
Although the other group of people have different looks, their temperaments are elegant, upright and peaceful, and they look at the demon cultivator with eyes full of disgust.
The scorpion woman lowered her voice, "Could it be that those people are monks from the spiritual world?"
Xu Chunniang jumped off the scorpion woman's body and lay beside her, staring at the front intently, "Exactly."
Although both spiritual and demonic cultivation have lost their cultivation on the Spiritual Demon Island, the temperaments of the two sides are very different, which can be seen at a glance.
"What are they doing, competing for the fruits on the tree? This tree is so big, but it only bears seven fruits, which is not enough!"
Xu Chunniang's eyes showed a solemn look, "I'm afraid this tree is not as simple as you think, and the fruits on this tree are not easy to eat. Pay careful attention to the traces under the tree."
The scorpion woman was startled and quickly looked at the roots of the big tree. When she recognized the true appearance of the residue, she was horrified.
"Those...are the fragments of magical weapons. Could it be that the fruits on this tree are condensed after absorbing the monks?"
Xu Chunniang smiled and did not answer her doubts, but asked, "Why do you think there are two colors of fruit on the same tree?"
The face of the scorpion woman became ugly, "I understand, these black fruits look familiar to me, but the red fruits are very unfamiliar to me.
This strange tree will grow black fruits if it absorbs demonic cultivation. If it absorbs spiritual cultivation, it will grow red fruits. These fruits were transformed by the dead monks, integrating their lifelong cultivation and understanding of the law.
understanding.”
"Yes, you and I can see this, and those people can naturally guess it, but I just don't know what will happen after they eat these fruits?"
The scorpion woman's heart moved, and she subconsciously looked at the two groups. After a period of confrontation, they seemed to have reached a consensus.
Each side sent a monk to pick the fruit from the tree.
According to the verbal agreement between the two parties, the black fruit belongs to the demon cultivator, and the red fruit belongs to the spiritual cultivator.
The two monks each held a long pole and tentatively approached the strange tree from the east and west directions to knock the fruits on the tree.
After knocking the fruit off the tree, they used a long pole to move the fruit to them, and then carefully picked it up.
After the two looked at each other, they started to eat the fruit at the same time, swallowing the fruit in two or three mouthfuls.
The alluring aroma and delicious taste made them want to have more.
After swallowing quietly, the two reported to their respective leaders, "The fruit is edible. After eating the fruit, I feel that I have regained some strength and I am not hungry anymore."
Hearing this, both groups of people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Although the price of eating this fruit is a bit high, it is still a way.
Moreover, there should be other food sources on Lingmo Island. After you have eaten enough and gathered enough strength, you can continue to look for other food.
After eating all the fruits on the tree, a few people were left guarding the strange tree, and the two groups left one after another.
The scorpion woman swallowed subconsciously and her stomach growled again, "These fruits look quite delicious."
Xu Chunniang's eyes showed a thoughtful look. After eating the fruit, they did not show any abnormality, as if they just ate ordinary food.
But she always felt that this tree and the fruits on it exuded an inexplicable evil aura.
Something seems not quite right...
She closed her eyes, felt it carefully, and finally noticed the subtle changes in the air.
"Something's wrong, the evil spirit seems to be getting stronger."
