Chapter 435 Seizing the Zhilong Fruit
After retracting his gaze, Yuan Lie regained his composure, turned his head and said to Ye Changsheng: "Brother Ye, we are not far from the hidden valley, let's go!"
Ye Changsheng nodded, and the two of them turned into streams of light and flew towards somewhere in the Luoyue Mountains.
In front of a continuous mountain range shrouded in white mist, Ye Changsheng and Yuan Lie appeared. After looking at the mountain ahead for a while, they glanced at each other and flew forward quickly.
Before long, they appeared between the cols of two huge mountains, forming a valley with a waterfall cascading down in the middle.
This valley is truly extremely secretive. If Ye Changsheng and his companions had not received intelligence in advance, it would have been difficult for them to find this place.
The valley was covered with lush vegetation, and towering trees rose from the ground, casting shade over the entire valley in an extremely dark and gloomy manner. Water gurgled by, and the air was filled with humid water vapor.
However, in the center of this area, there was an open space with nothing around it, only some low spiritual grass growing on the ground.
In the middle of these spiritual herbs, there was actually a giant dark purple grass that was thirty or forty feet tall. Every leaf of the giant grass pointed straight upwards like a giant sword, and there were countless extremely sharp thorns around it.
Under the protection of these sword-shaped leaves, there is a bunch of purple berries that look like grapes.
Each of these berries is the size of a fist, plump and round, and seems to be filled with transparent juice, exuding an enticing and strange fragrance.
When one's divine sense sweeps across the interior of these berries, one will discover that they are filled with lifelike little dragon-shaped cores, each of which is crystal clear and extremely lifelike.
When Ye Changsheng and Yuan Lie saw this strange plant and fruit, they immediately recognized it as the Zhilong Fruit they were looking for.
This main ingredient for refining Tenglong Pill can only bear fruit once every 30,000 years. There are twelve or thirteen Zhilong fruits on a bunch of this kind, and they are extremely valuable.
But the two people's consciousness only flashed across these Zhilong fruits, and then they immediately looked in the other direction of the valley.
Next to the waterfall, there is a huge cave. The entrance of the cave is more than a hundred feet high. From a distance, it is easy to sense the evil aura in the cave.
In front of the cave, on a large flat ground, there were several blood-red lizard-like monsters lying on the ground, absorbing and exhaling the surrounding spiritual energy.
Some of them were slightly smaller, about ten feet long, and their aura was at the Spirit Transformation stage, while one was twenty to thirty feet long, and its aura was at the Void Refinement stage.
"These are the blood lizard beasts. Only a few of them are outside now. Most of them are staying in their nests. If we rush in rashly, we will definitely attract all the blood lizard beasts out!" Yuan Lie said to Ye Changsheng through voice transmission.
According to intelligence, there are at least five Void Refinement Level blood lizard beasts here, including one at the peak of Void Refinement Level. Neither Ye Changsheng nor Yuan Lie have ever considered rushing in and fighting these blood lizard beasts.
With a slap of the storage bracelet, a white light flashed, and a white monkey-like puppet appeared in Yuan Lie's hand.
"This is a high-level puppet that Yuan bought before. With the help of it, we may be able to lure out one of the waves of blood lizard beasts first, and then kill them quickly!" Yuan Lie said.
Ye Changsheng nodded when he heard this. The blood lizard beast was not very intelligent, so it was not difficult to trick it out by luring it.
This was also the solution the two had discussed before to deal with this group of blood lizard beasts.
So, the two of them flew away immediately, leaving the puppet here.
After a while, the puppet left by Yuan Lie suddenly grew larger and turned into a white ape more than three meters tall. It suddenly jumped out and turned into a white light and flew directly towards the strange plant in the valley where the Zhilong fruit grew.
As soon as the aura of the white ape was released, the blood lizard beasts lying in the valley immediately noticed the movement.
With a sudden roar, the largest blood lizard beast suddenly opened its mouth, and a red light shot out, shooting towards the white ape.
Very fast!
But the white ape was quite agile and dodged with just a leap.
The red light stopped and then swept across again. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an extremely long tongue.
The white ape jumped nimbly and quickly fled out of the valley, disappearing in a few jumps.
When the blood lizard beast saw this, a look of surprise appeared in its eyes, and then it roared in anger and rushed out suddenly. The other blood lizard beasts at the god-transformation level behind it also followed in anger.
"Get started!"
When the blood lizard beast chased the white ape to the place where Ye Changsheng and Yuan Lie were ambushing, a loud shout was rang out, and the two men immediately jumped out from behind the hill.
"boom!"
The vital energy of heaven and earth fluctuated violently, and the two men's attacks were extremely fierce. Yuan Lie flicked his hand, and hundreds of silver needles floated in front of him, while a small purple mirror appeared above Ye Changsheng's head.
As soon as the mirror appeared, purple light suddenly surged, and countless runes flowed on it, converging together, and in an instant condensed into a purple beam of light.
The beam of light went straight towards the virtual-refining-level blood lizard beast. Seeing this, Yuan Lie did not compete with Ye Changsheng for this opponent. Instead, he waved his hand and the silver needles shot towards several god-transforming-level blood lizard beasts.
The purple beam of light shone on the Void-Refined Level Blood Lizard Beast at lightning speed, but the strange thing was that although the Blood Lizard Beast was shrouded in this purple light, there was nothing abnormal on its body.
It didn't suffer any harm at all, and its whole body was completely normal. It even roared and rushed towards Ye Changsheng, shooting out a long tongue with extreme ferocity.
But the next moment, countless mysterious symbols in the purple light emerged from nowhere and rushed into the blood lizard beast's body, and the blood lizard beast suddenly became motionless.
The tongue ejected and fell to the ground with a "click". The blood lizard beast's eyes were dull, as if it had lost its soul.
On the other side, after seeing this scene, Yuan Lie's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at the mirror above Ye Changsheng's head with some fear.
A strange light flashed in his silver-white eyes, and he could actually see directly what was happening inside the blood lizard beast's body.
On a blood-colored inner elixir, countless purple runes emerged from thin air, interweaving into chains that bound the inner elixir.
And in the inner elixir, there was a miniature shadow of a blood lizard beast, glowing red all over, roaring, trying to break free from the confinement of the purple rune chains, but failing.
This mirror actually attacks people's souls directly.
With a flash of light, a bronze short spear appeared in Ye Changsheng's hand. He swung forward fiercely with the spear in hand.
After a flash of blade light, the head of the Void-level Blood Lizard Beast flew high, rolled "gurgle", and stopped on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Changsheng grabbed the purple mirror and shook it gently.
A purple light appeared at the gap in the blood lizard beast's body, and the chains formed by runes wrapped around the inner elixir flew out and flew towards Ye Changsheng.
Ye Changsheng took out a jade bottle and put it into the bottle.
In the blink of an eye, he easily dealt with this ancient beast of the Void Refinement Level. On the other side, Yuan Lie also dealt with the remaining several Divine Transformation Blood Lizard Beasts. His silver-white eyes returned to normal.
He laughed and said, "Brother Ye's magical power is indeed as I expected, unfathomable. Now I can rest assured to invite Brother Ye to join that thing!"
Ye Changsheng's action of easily killing the blood lizard beast just now was completely recognized by this Tianji clan cultivator.
In his opinion, even he could not guard against such strange magical power. Ye Changsheng's strength was even stronger than that of an average person in the early stage of refining emptiness.
If he didn't have some hidden tricks, he wouldn't even dare to invite this person, for fear that after he really brought him in, he would be suppressed instead.
With a smile, Ye Changsheng said, "It seems that my clumsy tricks have finally won Brother Yuan's approval. I am increasingly looking forward to what Brother Yuan is going to do!"
"Haha, after we deal with these blood lizard beasts, I will definitely tell you everything!" Yuan Lie said with a laugh.
"Let's go and take a look at the situation in the valley. These blood lizard beasts died here. No matter how dumb those people in the valley are, they must have noticed something is wrong!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile.
After cleaning up the place, the two flew back to the valley.
When I returned to the valley again, it was in chaos. Dozens of blood lizard beasts appeared in the valley, roaring and making a lot of noise.
Among these blood lizard beasts, four have reached the level of refining emptiness, and most of the rest are at the level of transformation of spirit and Nascent Soul.
"It seems that they have come out in full force. Didn't they say that there was a blood lizard beast comparable to the peak of the Refinement Void Realm? Why can't I see it?" Yuan Lie said to Ye Changsheng in a puzzled manner.
"Who knows? Maybe after they go out, we can try to lure these blood lizards out?" Ye Changsheng asked.
Yuan Lie's eyes flickered, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "Then let's try again!"
The two men tried the same trick again, but this time they failed.
When the blood lizard beasts discovered the puppet, they would indeed rush up immediately and try to kill it, but when the puppet escaped from the valley, they would only chase it to the entrance of the valley and then would never be willing to move forward even one step.
"Could it be that these ferocious beasts have discovered the problem? This shouldn't be the case given their intelligence!" Yuan Lie said with some doubt.
"It seems that the plan to lure the enemy has failed. These blood lizard beasts are unwilling to come out no matter what. Maybe we have to think of other ways!" Ye Changsheng said with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Yuan Lie heard this, thought about it, shook his head, and said: "Forget it, it's a waste of time to think about it, let's just go in and kill it!"
"Oh? Brother Yuan, wasn't you afraid of the blood lizard beast at the peak of the refining void level and didn't dare to charge in directly?" Ye Changsheng was stunned when he heard this, then asked with a smile.
“But after all, the Blood Lizard Beast at the peak of the Void Refining Stage did not show up. No matter what the reason was for it to leave this place, we cannot let it stop us from moving forward!”
"With the strength of Yuan and Brother Ye, killing this group of blood lizard beasts is not a problem. If the one at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm comes, we will escape immediately!" Yuan Lie said.
"In that case, then I, Ye, will have no choice but to accompany Brother Yuan!" Ye Changsheng said with a faint smile.
"Haha, I knew Brother Ye had this confidence. It seems that Brother Ye's strength is even beyond Yuan's expectations. Let's go!"
As Yuan Lie spoke, he flew towards the valley. Ye Changsheng followed him with a smile on his face.
A moment later, a loud roar came from the direction of the valley, followed by screams and roars, and the vital energy of heaven and earth fluctuated violently.
However, it wasn't long before the fluctuations subsided.
In a devastated valley, Ye Changsheng and Yuan Lie stood in front of a group of blood lizard beast corpses, with thoughtful looks on their faces.
"These guys seem to be guarding the cave. What is in there?" Yuan Lie said lightly with his eyes flashing.
"Maybe it's something extremely important, but I don't want to explore it. Why, Brother Yuan, do you want to go in and take a look?" Ye Changsheng suddenly smiled and asked.
"Haha, let's pick these Zhilong fruits first!" Yuan Lie said with a faint smile.
The two then flew to the huge strange plant, picked all the grape-like berries on it, and put them into the jade box.
When all the Zhilong fruits were picked, the two of them felt a little relieved.
Then, Yuan Lie looked at the huge cave again, his eyes full of eagerness to try.
Seeing this, Ye Changsheng's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything. He stood behind Yuan Lie, looking like he had no intention of entering the cave.
But he didn't leave either. It was obvious that he was not uninterested in the interior of the cave as he said.
He just didn't want to step in rashly. After all, they both knew in their hearts that according to the intelligence, there was still a blood lizard beast at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm that had not appeared here.
Who knows if the other party is in that cave?
Therefore, Ye Changsheng would rather wait for Yuan Lie to go in and explore first before he follows .
In the silence, Yuan Lie suddenly took a few steps forward and came to the entrance of the cave.
He looked like he was about to enter it.
Ye Changsheng was cheered up and planned to follow him in.
At this moment, suddenly a low roar came from inside the cave.
"roar!"
The sound suddenly became louder and exploded in the ears of the two people. Then a red light rushed in from inside the cave at an extremely fast speed.
Yuan Lie had almost no time to defend himself before the red light created a big hole in his chest and abdomen. The red light then took shape, and it turned out to be a long, slender tongue.
The tongue was stretched straight, like an extremely long spear, piercing Yuan Lie directly on it.
When Ye Changsheng saw this scene, he was so shocked that he didn't have time to think about it. His body "whoosh" disappeared and he desperately ran away to the outside.
“Whoosh!”
After the tongue entangled Yuan Lie, it did not give up at all and quickly chased after Ye Changsheng, wanting to entangle him as well.
