The further he walked, Shen Lang found that the air was getting drier and the soil was also very dry.
Shen Lang felt an inexplicable chill in his heart. The fresh air in this area was so rich that it was jaw-dropping!
Not long after, Shen Lang saw a towering tree two hundred meters in front of him.
This tree has lush branches and leaves, exudes a compelling aura, and bears two huge scarlet fruits, like footballs.
Shen Lang was confused for a while, what did he know about this fruit.
It is recorded in the Medicine King Alchemy Sutra that if Shen Lang did not admit his mistake, this huge vermilion fruit should be the legendary "Tian Yuan Fruit".
Shen Lang's face showed a look of ecstasy. Tianyuan Fruit can indeed be called a treasure from heaven and earth, and it is of great use to Shen Lang.
According to the Medicine King's Alchemy Sutra, Tianyuan Fruit is rich in compelling spiritual power and can be used as a medicine for many top-level elixirs. It can also be swallowed directly and refined to increase cultivation.
It has a strong effect on martial arts practitioners below the virtual realm. However, masters below the transformation realm cannot swallow it directly, because the spiritual power rich in this fruit is very pure. If the cultivation level is not enough to swallow it directly, they may not be able to withstand the huge amount.
spiritual power, there is a risk of death due to explosion.
This time I really hit the mark!
But Shen Lang was not in a hurry to pick the fruits, because it was clearly stated in the Medicine King Alchemy Sutra that there must be a guardian beast, a mandrill, next to the Tianyuan fruit tree.
The two have a symbiotic relationship. The mandrill feeds on the leaves of the Tianyuan fruit tree.
Mandrills are the lowest form of monsters, but their strength cannot be underestimated. This mysterious monster is a hermaphrodite, can lay eggs and give birth to offspring on its own, and has guarded the Tianyuan Fruit Tree for generations.
Sure enough, Shen Lang circled around a little and found the mandrill, sleeping under the fruit tree.
The mandrill looks a bit like a monkey, but its face is very scary. It has a long face, dark red skin, a bright red nose bridge, and deep vertical lines on both sides of the nose. The facial features are unusually ferocious and terrifying, and there are two sticks in its mouth.
A huge fang.
This mandrill is obviously an adult, about six meters tall. It has a very large bone plate and is extremely strong. With its ghostly and ferocious face, it gives people an extremely cruel feeling.
The mandrill is still sleeping, but I want to pick the Tianyuan Fruit while it is sleeping, but this method probably won't work. Because the mandrill's awareness of breath is very amazing, it will definitely wake up as soon as it gets close to the fruit tree.
Shen Lang's face was uncertain, and he was thinking in his mind, should he rush up and fight with this mandrill now, or should he find a way to lure this thing away?
The mandrill is a monster and very powerful. It should be difficult to defeat this thing by yourself.
In addition, Shen Lang's combat power will be affected to some extent without the Star Meteor Knife.
Just as Shen Lang was hesitating, Mandrill suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.
Shen Lang secretly said "No" and immediately held his breath and concentrated. Could it be that this thing discovered him?
"That's not right!" Shen Lang's face was filled with surprise, and he realized that the mandrill was looking elsewhere.
I saw a martial artist wearing a golden robe and gray hair jumping out of the bushes as if facing a formidable enemy, staring at the mandrill in front of him.
This is none other than Zhao Qing, the new head of Ruyi Sect.
"How could the treasures of heaven and earth grow in this place without any threat? It turns out that they are accompanied by ferocious beasts!" Zhao Qing snorted coldly. He glanced at the two huge fruits on the Tianyuan fruit tree, showing a hint of greed.
color.
"Ouch!"
The mandrill opened its fangs and roared, seeming to threaten Zhao Qing to leave.
After finally getting through the foggy area, Zhao Qing was not willing to miss this natural treasure.
"Huh? Who's your friend here?" Zhao Qing turned his eyes to the tree on one side, a trace of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
In fact, Shen Lang deliberately showed his aura. He walked out and said with a smile: "What a coincidence. This friend, please come and be safe."
Shen Lang is now wearing a human skin mask and looks like a middle-aged man.
Zhao Qing took a few glances to confirm that he did not recognize Shen Lang, but suddenly found that the other person's face seemed to be covered with a mask, and he felt a sense of caution in his heart.
"This brother, may I ask who he is from? Why don't you show your true face to others?" Zhao Qing asked politely. He realized that Shen Lang had a cultivation level at the peak of the Questioning Realm and it was not easy to trust him.
Shen Lang didn't know Zhao Qing either, so he said casually: "I have some enemies, so I can't show them to anyone."
"That's Zhao being abrupt. Brother, there happen to be two fruits on the fruit tree. Why don't we deal with this companion beast together and then share the fruits equally. What do you think?" Zhao Qing said immediately.
Because he was worried that other people would snatch the fruits here, Zhao Qing didn't bother to care about Shen Lang's identity and directly suggested.
Shen Lang thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
He expected that the other party would say this. This mandrill would be difficult to deal with by himself, and he would have to hunt for treasure in the misty ghost forest later. If he was seriously injured because of the mandrill, it would be a penny gain.
"Ouch!" The mandrill was still warning angrily. Generally speaking, as long as you don't get too close to the Tianyuan fruit tree, the mandrill will not attack.
"Then I'll act quickly, lest anyone else comes to seize the treasure!" After Zhao Qing finished speaking, he drew out the long sword from his waist.
"good!"
The two of them winked, and without any explanation, they quickly attacked the mandrill.
When the mandrill saw Shen Lang and Zhao Qing approaching the fruit tree, he roared fiercely, took off, and rushed over.
"Dong dong dong!" Like a tank, every step made the ground tremble.
Mandrill's two hammer-like arms slapped Shen Lang and Zhao Qing wildly.
Shen Lang and Zhao Qing quickly parried and launched the attack.
Without the Star Meteor Knife, Shen Lang's attack power will not be much lower, because he still has the Seven Injury Fist, a powerful weapon in close combat.
The shortcoming is that the defense is slightly lowered. But the mandrill's movement speed is obviously not very fast, and Shen Lang has to deal with two people, and Shen Lang can barely dodge.
After breaking through to the peak of the Questioning Realm, Shen Lang's first move of Seven Injury Fist will no longer have backlash.
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, Shen Lang's Seven-Injury Fist struck heavily on Mandrill's broad shoulder and back. With the fierce wind of the fist, a punch mark was created on Mandrill's thick flesh.
"Ouch!" The mandrill roared, blood gushed out of his mouth, and he waved his iron arm angrily and swatted at Shen Lang.
Shen Lang dodged quickly.
Zhao Qing was a little surprised. Shen Lang was also at the peak of his realm, and Shen Lang's strength exceeded his imagination.
This also made him more vigilant.
If this kid breaks out later and wants to seize the fruit alone, I really have no means to keep him!
No, I have to conserve my strength and let this kid spend more energy! Zhao Qing thought to himself.
The two continued to fight with the mandrill, and Shen Lang's face became a little gloomy, and he felt very angry.
The main reason is that the old fox next to him said that he was dealing with the mandrill together, but in fact he was always defending and didn't make any effort at all. He was just attacking with all his strength.
