When Xiao Feng went to pick the Dragon Blood Fruit, he was almost bitten by a python that suddenly appeared.
Fortunately, Xiao Feng quickly picked several ripe dragon blood fruits and returned to the formation.
When Xiao Feng used his immortal power to send Zhao Yuwei and the others out, he deliberately left Taotie behind.
Taotie thought Xiao Feng didn't believe him.
He only now realized how sinister Xiao Feng's intentions were!
After Xiao Feng returned to the formation, he immediately grabbed Taotie and used it as a shield in front of him, letting Taotie deal with the pythons flying down from the Dragon Blood Fruit Tree.
"Aaaaah! Xiao Feng, you bastard! I hate you!"
Taotie knew, of course, that the Dragon Blood Fruit Tree did have guardian spirit beasts, but its guardian spirit beasts usually coiled up on the tree.
Due to the special nature of the Dragon Blood Fruit, it not only has guardian spirit beasts but also guardian formations.
Even if an ordinary cultivator could break through the protective formation, they would definitely be bitten by the guardian spirit beast when they tried to climb the tree to pick the dragon blood fruit.
However, given Xiao Feng's strength, avoiding the python's bites should be relatively easy.
Most importantly, this guardian spirit beast will also be protected by the formation.
When cultivators haven't harvested the Dragon Blood Fruit, the array will serve as one of the defenses protecting the Dragon Blood Fruit tree.
However, as long as the cultivator can escape the python's pursuit and successfully return to the formation after obtaining the Dragon Blood Fruit, the cultivator can succeed.
This formation will ward off pythons and provide protection for cultivators.
The python struggled to bite and tear at the formation for a long time, but it was unable to break through it.
In the end, it could only forcefully flick the barrier formed by the array with its snake tail a few times before returning to the Dragon Blood Fruit Tree.
Xiao Feng picked all the ripe dragon blood fruits in the area he could reach and put them into the system space.
However, the Dragon Blood Fruit tree was so large that Xiao Feng saw many ripe Dragon Blood Fruits, and he knew he couldn't obtain them without alerting the guardian spirit beast.
Although he felt somewhat regretful, Xiao Feng had no choice but to give up for the sake of his own life.
"You're shameless!" Taotie couldn't help but curse Xiao Feng.
“Same here, we’re evenly matched. Alright, now it’s your turn to make a move.” Xiao Feng grabbed Taotie by the collar and shoved it directly in front of the formation.
"What? You're not going to ask me to help you break the formation, are you? I already told you I don't know how. Didn't your little lover already figure out how to break the formation?" Zhao Yuwei blushed slightly after hearing the Taotie's lewd words.
“You know there are guardian spirit beasts on the Dragon Blood Fruit Tree, and you also know there are protective formations under the Dragon Blood Fruit Tree. If you say another word to me, saying you don’t know how to break this formation, do you believe I’ll throw you to the snakes right now?”
This is also why Xiao Feng wanted Taotie to stay.
Zhao Yuwei just said that they will need the power of the Taotie to break this formation in a little while.
Xiao Feng guessed that, besides using ordinary methods to break the formation, Taotie might have other ways to stop the formation from operating.
Taotie and Xiao Feng stared at each other in the formation, but in the end, Taotie was the first to be defeated.
He must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to have run into his nemesis, Xiao Feng.
He didn't know why Xiao Feng knew he could break the formation.
But Taotie knew he couldn't pull any tricks on Xiao Feng.
He could only obediently use his remaining magical power to quickly tear a small gap in the formation, and then lead Xiao Feng out of the formation.
Having just escaped the formation, Taotie wanted to point at Xiao Feng and start cursing.
However, Xiao Feng already knew that Taotie had many bad intentions, so he didn't wait for Taotie to say anything and directly put him into the system space.
"I'll put him in my storage space first, and then release him after we've finished picking all the spirit fruits in this area."
Xiao Feng spoke calmly.
Zhao Yuwei and the others naturally had no objections and nodded in agreement.
Xiao Feng felt excited at the thought that there were still many treasures yet to be unearthed.
This Dragon Blood Fruit can enhance a cultivator's cultivation level, making it most suitable for Xiao Feng, who is about to break through to a higher realm.
With the magical power absorbed from the Taotie's body, combined with the dragon blood fruit he had just picked, he would surely be able to undergo a complete transformation and successfully break through to a higher realm.
Despite its name, the Dragon Blood Fruit has no actual relation to dragons.
It is named Dragon Blood Fruit simply because its fruit resembles a small dragon coiled up, and because it smells slightly fishy.
Just as Xiao Feng and his companions were about to leave, the entire mountain forest suddenly began to sway from side to side.
Xiao Feng quickly led a few people away from here.
After quickly arriving at an open area, Xiao Feng discovered that it wasn't just the place where they had been that was shaking; the entire secret realm was swaying from side to side.
Faced with such a massive situation that could affect the entire secret realm, Xiao Feng's expression turned grim. Could it be that some ferocious beast was about to be born?
Just as Xiao Feng was preparing to find an opportunity to leave the secret realm with Zhao Yuwei and the others.
Han Ya suddenly spoke up: "This must be a sign that a divine artifact is about to be born! The only thing that can affect the entire secret realm is the divine artifact sealed within it! Hahaha! I've finally waited for this day!"
Upon hearing Han Ya's laughter, Xiao Feng remembered that he had asked Han Ya to stay by his side earlier because Han Ya had said that there was one of the ten ancient divine artifacts in the secret realm.
At that time, Xiao Feng thought it was just an excuse that Han Ya made up.
After all, they had been searching for treasures for so long, and Taotie had never mentioned any of the Ten Ancient Divine Artifacts.
But now that I think about it, it's amazing that Taotie, one of the four ancient ferocious beasts, can exist here.
There's also Han Ya, a dragon who has lived for who knows how many years.
To seal them all here, an extremely large formation is required.
And at the core of this formation, there must be a very high-level artifact to suppress it.
Could it be that the ancient artifact is what's suppressing the core of the formation?
But for some reason, at this moment, Xiao Feng felt a strange sense of panic.
If what Han Ya said is true, this commotion is caused by the birth of a divine artifact.
A voice in Xiao Feng's heart told him that it was best not to explore the divine artifact; he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Han Ya said excitedly that they were going to find an ancient artifact, which was the most important treasure in the entire secret realm.
Although he had gotten along fairly well with Han Ya along the way, Xiao Feng still wanted to refuse at this moment.
Xiao Feng turned around, ready to persuade Han Ya, but first met Su Xueqing's bright eyes.
"Xiao Feng, do you also know that an ancient artifact is about to be created? Shall we go find this ancient artifact?" Su Xueqing rarely made such a request.
Xiao Feng didn't know how to refuse, as Su Xueqing seemed to want the divine artifact.
