Chapter 40040 The Fox Clan Boy (Suspected Love Rival?)...
"Brother Wei?"
Shi Hua jumped down and pretended to be surprised.
"Awu, did you see your senior sisters and the others on the road?"
Shi Hua shook his head: "No, the first person I saw was Senior Brother Wei."
Wei Shizhou tapped his chin lightly.
He motioned her to follow him.
Shi Hua walked lightly behind him.
The vegetation here was so dense that it practically blocked out the sun. The massive leaves were so dense that not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate, yet the surroundings were not dim. She raised her eyes to gaze at the boy's straight back. He had grown considerably over the years, now standing a head taller than her.
At this moment, the boy had his back to her, exposing his greatest weakness. As long as she wanted, she could easily break through his defense.
Wei Shizhou clearly doubted his identity, yet he dared to turn his back on her. Was he being careless or was he deliberately testing her?
Shi Hua put away his inquiring eyes and asked, "Brother Wei, where are we going?"
The girl's sweet and playful voice was like a silk thread, making her heart jump with joy and wanting to break free and pounce.
Wei Shizhou tried his best to suppress his emotion. "I found a cave up ahead. It has an unusual aura. It must contain treasures."
“Oh oh!”
Shi Hua quickened his pace.
In the plot, the hero obtains many treasures in the Floating Cloud Secret Realm, the most important of which is a sword from a coffin deep in the lava volcano.
This sword is called Fentian, and it is the natal sword of the male protagonist Long Aotian.
The two quickly rushed to the cave entrance and unexpectedly saw someone familiar.
"Awu! Junior Brother Wei!"
Yun Wan threw herself into Shi Hua's arms with a head full of grass debris, her cheeks dusty, as if she had rolled on the ground.
Shi Hua picked up some grass scraps for her. "Senior Sister Yun, what's wrong with you?"
Yun Wan spat fiercely, pointing her bare finger at the cave entrance. "It's all that stinking toad's fault! I just accidentally walked into this cave, and before I could explore, I was swept out by the toad's tongue. I'm so disgusted!"
The sticky feeling of the toad's saliva is still vivid in my mind.
Shi Hua dug out relevant plots from the story and discovered that there was a fairy tree in the cave. Today was the time for it to bear fruit. The poisonous toad inside had been guarding the fairy tree for hundreds of years and had finally waited for the fruit. It would definitely be angry if an outsider suddenly broke in.
The immortal tree bears fruit once every thousand years, three fruits at a time.
After the male protagonist took one, he gave it to the female protagonist to refine a rare elixir, named Soul Pill, which became the male protagonist's life-saving pill in the later part of the plot.
Shi Hua straightened her up: "Senior Sister Yun, can you tell what level of cultivation that toad has?"
"I didn't see it," Yun Wan shook his head, frowning as he recalled, "He's probably close to the Nascent Soul stage."
No wonder the male protagonist only took one in the plot, it turns out he couldn't beat it.
Shi Hua looked at him: "Brother Wei, are we still going in?"
Yun Wan glanced over and said, "Junior Brother Wei, do you want what's inside? With the three of us at this level of cultivation... I'm afraid we can only outsmart them."
*
Deep in the cave, the huge body of the poisonous toad rose and fell with its heavy breathing. Its skin was bumpy and full of poisonous bubbles, its belly was black and purple, and its whole body was highly poisonous.
With his eyelids half closed, he stared at the golden fairy tree in front of him.
There are already three fruits on the branch, shining with a faint golden glow.
Suddenly, the poisonous toad opened its eyes wide, turned its head and stared at the cave entrance.
"Stinky!"
Yun Wan rushed in first with her flying sword, and standing on a high place, she stood with her hands on her hips and shouted, "I'm here again. If you dare to mess with me, you'll hit a wall!"
The poisonous toad narrowed its eyes and raised its body slightly, but when it saw the two people appearing behind her, it huddled back down.
To be precise, it was seeing Shi Hua.
There was a flash of fear in his pupils.
Yun Wan said magnanimously, "You bastard, there are three immortal fruits. We only want one, and the rest will be yours. How about that?"
"Quack!"
The poisonous toad disagreed.
Why give up one when it can have three!
If it weren't for that person——
The poisonous toad gurgled and spit out bubbles, unwilling to give up one. It rolled its eyes and realized that Shi Hua's cultivation was only at the early stage of the Golden Core. Its eyes widened and it became a little excited.
Quack! Revenge!
"What's going on?!"
Yun Wan looked at the poisonous toad that suddenly became angry and immediately turned around and dodged.
Wei Shizhou flew high up on his sword.
He saw clearly the changes in the poisonous toad just now. It was related to Shi Hua, or in other words, it was related to Jiang Qingwu's face.
The Floating Cloud Secret Realm opens once every thousand years. Could it be that Shi Hua had caused this by entering the secret realm before?
Shi Hua couldn't have imagined that this poisonous toad had lived for so long.
Ten thousand years ago, when she entered the secret realm with her Golden Core, the first demonic beast she provoked was this poisonous toad. At that time, both were at the Golden Core level, equally matched. The poisonous toad had lived in a deep pool, but now it was guarding this immortal tree. Shi Hua couldn't make any connection.
After all, whose monster is still only at the Nascent Soul stage after ten thousand years?
The three of them flew in the air to avoid the venom spit out by the poisonous toad.
Yun Wanchao gave the two of them a wink, then quietly hid in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to approach the fairy tree, and picked one immediately when the fairy fruit was ripe.
"Quack!"
The poisonous toad here was immersed in the satisfaction of revenge and was completely unaware. It was spitting venom very quickly, and its eyes seemed to be glued to Shi Hua all the time.
The venom was mixed with a foul stench, and the only fresh air in the cave was quickly swallowed up by the stench, and purple smoke filled the air.
Shi Hua couldn't stand it any longer. Why did this stinky □ catch her and spit on her?!
"Stinky □□, try spitting out another one!"
The poisonous toad was so frightened that its tongue almost got tangled. It was subconsciously frightened, but it quickly realized that it was her who couldn't beat it, so what was it afraid of!
"Quack!"
It doesn't stink! It's about to vomit!
Wei Shizhou casually avoided the venom.
The poisonous toad's firepower was concentrated on Shi Hua. He hid and observed, confirming that the poisonous toad and Shi Hua knew each other. The girl he saw in the Liangyi Floating Life Formation flashed through his mind unconsciously.
Although he was physically weak, the arrogance in his eyes and eyebrows remained unchanged.
Buzz!
Sword energy filled the air, a hint of chill crept up, and the speed at which the purple mist spread slowed down visibly.
Shi Hua summoned her own natal sword. She had already cast a spell on the sword, so others could not see through its true nature. She did not need to worry about the presence of Wei Shizhou and the others.
A familiar breath of terror came.
The poisonous toad screamed, flapped its huge body and bounced up, narrowly brushing past the sword light.
“Quack!”
No martial ethics!
Shi Hua's cultivation was suppressed at the Jindan stage, but the power of his natal sword was more than that. The poisonous toad also saw it and screamed in fear.
He quickly gave in and turned around to concentrate his firepower on Wei Shizhou.
Wei Shizhou: “…”
*
The poisonous toad didn't dare to really hurt them.
After all, no matter who is hurt, Shi Hua will use it as a scapegoat.
Being born is difficult!
The two sides are in a stalemate.
After a while, a breath of spiritual energy spread out.
The fairy fruit is ripe.
The poisonous toad had already accepted its fate of letting them pick one, and had noticed earlier that Yun Wan had gone around to the fairy tree, but in front of the painting, it could only swallow its anger.
Yun Wan was overjoyed and reached out to pick one.
Unexpectedly, a black shadow suddenly attacked.
She was caught off guard and jumped away.
No one knew who the person was, but he took away two fairy fruits and flew away quickly.
The poisonous toad's eyes immediately opened wide, and without saying a word, it stuck out its tongue, took away the last remaining one, and swallowed it quickly.
Yun Wan was furious: "Damn you little thief!"
The three men turned their swords and chased after him.
The poisonous toad tilted its head to observe, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the evil star had left. It then plopped down on the ground and began to digest the fairy fruit.
*
"Stop right there, little thief!"
Yun Wan chased after him and cursed him.
The fairy fruit is very important to Wei Shizhou. It is a life-saving elixir in the later stage, and he must get it back!
"Hey—Junior Brother Wei, don't be impulsive!"
Wei Shizhou suddenly accelerated and rushed forward.
The other party obviously didn't expect him to be so fast.
The fingers hidden under the black robe stretched out and struck out, knocking down the stone above.
Wei Shizhou used his backhand to hold up the barrier.
The moment he made his move, Shi Hua sensed a familiar aura.
It doesn't look like spiritual power.
The three rushed out of the cave and chased them all the way. Unknowingly, they came to a dark and dry forest. There was a group of birds standing on the branches. They were startled by them and flapped their wings and flew away.
Shi Hua raised his hand, and his natal sword turned into a stream of light, so fast that only a shadow was left, and the opponent was caught off guard and knocked down.
Yun Wan pulled off the other person's black robe, and suddenly saw fox ears popping out on his head. He was so frightened that he pulled the black robe back on.
"You, you, you—a member of the demon tribe?!"
The fox-eared boy snorted coldly, his upturned eyes naturally revealing a charming look. His lips were pale and pursed in dissatisfaction: "Jiang Qingwu!"
The tone seemed to be saying, don’t you care about the people who are in charge of you?
Shi Hua saw his face clearly and finally figured out this man's identity from his few memories.
Tu Yi, the ninth son of the fox king.
The fox child I met by chance hundreds of years ago has grown up this big now.
Look at the familiar posture of the two people.
Wei Shizhou quietly raised the alarm and secretly examined Tu Yi.
The fox clan is good at seducing. Even without using any seduction techniques, their natural charm can silently seduce people.
Yun Wan looked dazed, looking at the pair of amber pupils shining with crystal light, with the corners of the eyes slightly raised, like a brush hooking the tip of his heart.
despair!
Shi Hua snapped his fingers.
Yun Wan instantly woke up and hurriedly pushed him away, "A Wu, do you know this... member of the Fox Clan?"
The world of immortal cultivation and the demon beasts have always been at odds.
The monsters have killed countless mortals and invaded the territories of various immortal sects time and again. All the sects intend to join forces to fight back and dampen the monsters' fighting spirit.
If there is any connection with the demon race...
Yun Wan pursed her lips and looked at her secretly.
Shi Hua glanced at Tu Yi and said, "We've met a few times."
"Is that so..." Yun Wan didn't know why she felt relieved.
"Yes, we've only met a few times, and you're already able to cut me off. We're really not familiar with each other."
Tu Yi was acting weird.
Shi Ping raised his sword expressionlessly, silently threatening.
If you speak again, I will cut off another tail.
Tu Yi suddenly felt a chill on his butt and was too upset to say anything.
Wei Shizhou felt inexplicably irritated. He looked at Tu Yi with an unfriendly look and said in a cold tone, "Immortal fruit, one for each of you."
Tu Yi curled his lips: "Why? I got it!"
Yun Wan rolled up his sleeves and said, "Do you really have to tell me about you taking advantage of others?"
“…”
Bullying others by taking advantage of one's power!
Tu Yi looked at Shi Hua with resentment, but the other party didn't even look at him, so he could only take out one and give it to Wei Shizhou with his head down.
Shi Hua put away his sword and asked him, "Why did you come to the secret realm?"
According to the calculations of the demon tribe, Tu Yi is just about to reach adulthood. After the cubs reach adulthood, they will undergo trials within the tribe. Only after passing the trials can they go out into the outside world.
Tu Yi should be participating in the trial in the fox tribe.
Yun Wan looked nervous: "Could it be that you demons are planning something? Want to attack the Immortal Sect in the secret realm?!"
Tu Yigao glanced at her and said, "She has some brains, but not much."
Yun Wan rolled up his sleeves again.
Shi Hua held her down and said, "Get to the point."
Yun Wan was stunned. Why did she feel that Awu was more like a senior sister than her now?
Tu Yi shook his black robe and said in a muffled voice, "Several of my father's sons have come in... to compete for the position of Fox King's heir."
