Chapter 463: The Red Fruit Tree, a Treasure from Heaven and Earth!
Wherever there are natural treasures, there will be wild beasts guarding them.
The pair of golden and silver pythons coiled beside the deep orange fruit tree are the guardians.
"The red fruit blooms and bears fruit over a hundred years, and now it is finally ripe. Heaven help me!"
Under the moonlight.
The little girl sitting cross-legged looks about fourteen or fifteen years old, but her actual age is over a hundred.
She is a minion from the island country, the only master whose strength can match that of the Chinese king - Shuten Douji.
This time she went to China with Emperor Toba, Yamata no Orochi and Great Tengu. In addition to spying on the Shennong Ding in Shennongjia, the most important reason was to come for the treasures of heaven and earth.
So, she arranged for the Great Tengu to go to the Xing'an Mountains in the north to dig up the thousand-year-old ginseng king.
He also arranged for the Yamata no Orochi to go to the southern rain forest to search for the Blood Bodhi.
As for the red fruit from Shennongjia, she and Emperor Toba came here together.
It is obvious that she values Zhu Guo more.
Little did she know that Emperor Toba, whom she had arranged to guard outside the canyon, had been killed by Ye Mu a few hours ago.
Now, as long as she waits until dawn, when the surface of the red fruit is covered with a layer of dew, it means that the red fruit is ripe and she can pick them all!
The medicinal effect of one Zhu fruit is enough to increase the strength of a cultivator by sixty years!
Therefore, the rarity of this natural treasure is self-evident.
This means that many practitioners who know that the red fruits in Shennongjia are about to mature have come here from thousands of miles away to pick them.
Of course, everyone understands that opportunities and risks coexist!
"Since you're already here, why hide?"
Shuten-doji sat cross-legged on the rock and slowly looked at two places on the right.
“Hehehe!”
An old man with white hair and beard walked out from the shadows with several middle-aged men. "Your accent sounds like someone from the island country?"
"I am from the island country." Shuten-doji said coldly.
"You really are from an island country," the old man with white hair and beard shouted coldly, "Little girl, call out the people behind you. There's no need to play dumb with us."
"Do I need someone behind me?" Shuten-doji said disdainfully, "I'm alone here, what do you want?"
"Just you?"
The old man with white hair and beard narrowed his eyes. "Little girl, if you are alone, then you must be very confident. However, you shouldn't come here. Get out of here before I lose my temper!"
"court death!"
Shuten-doji's strength was unmatched. With a flash of lightning, the old man with white hair and beard was dead on the spot.
As for the several middle-aged men brought by the old man, they were all frightened and stood there stunned.
"Those who don't want to die, kneel here."
Shuten-doji shouted coldly, then looked to her right. "Are you planning to sit back and watch the fight? Why haven't you come out yet?"
A group of people were hiding not far to the right of Shuten-doji, and at this moment they all came out timidly.
This group of people, both men and women, were all wearing night clothes. They stared at Shuten-doji, their mentality completely broken.
They had encountered the old man who was killed by Shuten Douji before. His strength was far above theirs, and he was already a rare master of the Earthly Realm.
But even so, he was killed by Shuten-doji in the blink of an eye.
Therefore, they have no other intentions now, as long as they can survive, it is enough.
"If anyone overestimates his own abilities, come and fight me, otherwise just kneel here." After a cold snort, Shuten-doji returned to the blue rock and sat cross-legged again.
Those people knew that they were not as strong as others, so in order to save their lives, they had no choice but to kneel on the ground.
Time passed slowly, and during this period, several waves of people came one after another, with only one purpose, to pick the red fruits.
Of course, without exception, all of them knelt on the ground under the threat of Shuten-doji.
This made Shuten-doji look proud.
at the same time.
In a small wooden house halfway up the mountain.
Ren Qian suddenly opened her eyes. The candlelight in the room had burned out, but she could not see Ye Mu.
"Brother Ye!"
She screamed subconsciously and looked at the time. It was already 3:30 in the morning.
"I'm here."
Outside the door, Ye Mu walked in with a cigarette in his hand.
"Brother Ye, I'm so sorry. I accidentally overslept. You should get some rest." Ren Qian's face was full of apology, and she hurriedly pulled Ye Mu's arm and walked towards the big bed.
"I've already taken some time off, so I'm not sleepy."
Ye Mu smiled and said, "Wash your face and get ready to go."
"kindness."
Ren Qian no longer hesitated, packed her bags immediately, and left the cabin with Ye Mu.
"Brother Ye, should we keep going forward?" Ren Qian looked around and turned to ask.
"Keep moving forward."
Ye Mu pointed, "While you were fast asleep, a few passersby were walking towards the top of the mountain with flashlights. I approached them quietly and heard some good news."
"What good news?" Ren Qian asked curiously.
"Near the top of the mountain, there is a red fruit tree that is about to mature. It is a good thing." Ye Mu smiled mysteriously.
"Red Fruit?" Ren Qian narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Isn't that a legendary treasure?"
"This really exists." Ye Mu said.
"Brother Ye, you should have woken me up earlier. It would be a shame if everyone saw us by the time we got there." Ren Qian grabbed Ye Mu's arm and walked forward faster.
"No rush."
Ye Mu smiled and pointed at the destination on the map. "The red fruit won't mature until daybreak. So, even if we set off half an hour later, we can still reach our destination, Baishiya, at six in the morning."
"I see."
Ren Qian suddenly understood.
"So, I also vaguely guessed that the reason why Shuten Douji and Emperor Toba came to the depths of Shennongjia should be for the red fruit." Ye Mu said again.
"That explains it."
Ren Qian also thought so. "This way, not only can we find Shuten-doji, but we can also obtain the Vermillion Fruit. It's like killing two birds with one stone."
"Observe the direction below and start speeding up." Ye Mu signaled Ren Qian.
"Don't worry, Brother Ye."
Ren Qian instantly opened her eyes and scanned the area ahead. "Brother Ye, the slope we're climbing isn't very steep, and a large section of the way is through a canyon. The main thing is that the road ahead is extremely winding..."
The two chatted as they walked.
The road was bumpy and full of gullies, but after two hours, they finally reached their destination.
"There's still half an hour until dawn, and we're still a hundred meters away from White Rock Cliff. Let's take a short rest here."
Ye Mu signaled to Ren Qian, and the two of them jumped onto the branch of a big tree three meters above the ground.
A few minutes later.
The sky gradually brightened, and another group of people came from the foot of the mountain.
"Hurry up, hurry up, or it will be too late."
"Master Lu, the head of the family was killed. We should go down the mountain to ask for help from an expert. There's no need to take the risk here."
"Are there any experts down the mountain? They're all trash! This young master came up the mountain just to ask the two great masters to avenge my uncle!"
The leader was none other than Lu Ping, the young master of the Lu family who had previously wanted to intercept Ye Mu and Ren Qian.
When he found out that his uncle Lu Yanqing had died a violent death, he rushed to the mountains without stopping.
