256 Dragon Pattern Fruit
Chapter 256
The distinction between wilderness and wildness is not clear. Some people call the vast area where wild beasts live the boundless wilderness, and this boundless wilderness also includes wildness, and wildness means the deeper part of the wilderness.
Some people call the large area where wild beasts live outside the wildness the wilderness, and distinguish it from the wildness.
Whether it is the wilderness in a broad sense or a narrow sense, the dividing line between it and the wildness is actually not very clear. There is no real boundary line to distinguish the two.
Fang Zhi led a group of people to travel in the wilderness for three days, leaving enough time for Qiu Yi and Feng Ming to pick spiritual herbs. Until the fourth day, it was far enough away from the border city defense line.
The vitality here is more concentrated, the trees are taller, and the view is no longer wide. Fang Zhi told everyone that they have entered the wilderness.
The wilderness behind them is relatively open and less undulating. From here on, there are mostly high mountains and steep ridges in front of them. The terrain is complex and changeable. The wilderness is more dangerous than the wilderness.
Fang Zhi reminded Qiu Yi and Feng Ming: "It is not easy to set an ambush in the wilderness, but it is much more dangerous in the wilderness. Don't leave me too far."
Qiu Yi naturally nodded in agreement.
Feng Ming fiddled with the array in his hand, and as Fang Zhi said, the light spots fed back from the front were brighter than those behind.
This means that the wild beasts in the wilderness ahead are stronger. The four level 5 wild beasts that appeared in the previous beast tide should have run out of this wilderness.
As they traveled along the way, the farther they were from the border defense line, the more wild beasts they encountered, but the strongest wild beast they encountered along the way was only level 4.
Of course, this does not mean that there is no danger in the wilderness. Many wild beasts in the wilderness appear in groups.
They encountered a group of rhinoceros bulls yesterday. The leading rhinoceros bull was a level 4 wild beast, and the rhinoceros bulls in the group were all level 1, 2, and 3.
It would definitely not be a pleasant experience for cultivators below the Yuandan realm to encounter such a group of rhinoceros bulls.
Rhinoceros cattle have strong defenses, and the horns on their heads are very sharp. If a cultivator in the Yuanye realm falls into a herd of rhinoceros cattle, he may perish.
It is much easier for the Yuandan realm to avoid them, and they can completely leave from the air.
However, they have a detection array in hand, and they discovered a herd of rhinoceros cattle numbering hundreds in advance. Fang Zhi found that the rhinoceros cattle were unwilling to face them head-on and wanted to take a detour.
In the end, Feng Ming couldn't resist the temptation and wanted to taste the rhinoceros beef, which was said to have excellent meat texture. He and Bai Qiaomo sneaked over and robbed two rhinoceros cattle, then stopped while they were ahead and quickly fled.
Even from a distance, the angry roars of the rhinoceros cattle could still be heard. During the rest last night, one of the rhinoceros cattle was disassembled and grilled.
Several thousand kilograms of rhinoceros beef was consumed by a group of powerful cultivators. The taste of this beef is indeed worthy of its reputation.
Recalling the rhinoceros beef he had eaten last night, Feng Ming thought that when he returned, he could take away a few more rhinoceros cattle and save them for a snack in the future. The beef jerky made from this beef must taste great.
After entering the wilderness, Feng Ming did not dare to take it lightly with the detection array in hand. The danger here sometimes does not come from the wild beasts.
Not long after, there were wild beasts running towards them in a panic.
Before it was displayed on the battle array, a silver-armored guard sent by Fang Zhi brought intelligence from the front: "Sir, two level 5 wild beasts fought over territory, which affected other wild beasts nearby, causing these wild beasts to flee."
Fang Zhi said, "This wild land is really not peaceful, let's avoid these wild beasts."
Fang Zhi led everyone to bypass the two wild beasts fighting for territory. When passing by the perimeter, they could feel the fierce fighting over there.
Even those wild beasts that were fleeing in a hurry were not very quiet. They stood on a giant tree and saw a python escaping below. It took the opportunity to swallow a wild beast passing by and then slowly slid out.
Standing on this giant tree, they could also see two wild beasts fighting in front of them, one was a level 5 rock bear, and the other was a level 5 giant lizard.
Both wild beasts were not good at speed, but they had extremely strong destructive power. A tree in front of them that could be hugged by more than a dozen people fell down under the fierce impact of the two wild beasts.
Some low-level wild beasts that did not have time to escape were smashed to death by the giant tree.
One of Fang Zhi's men was more familiar with the situation in this wild place and said, "That place was originally the giant lizard's territory. The rock bear ran out from there and wanted to seize the giant lizard's territory."
Naturally, as both were at the beginning of level 5, the giant lizard did not want to give up its territory, so a fight was inevitable.
Fang Zhi made a judgment: "Although this rock bear is slightly stronger, it is not easy to defeat the giant lizard. The fight between the two will not end so quickly. Let's go around here."
Fang Zhi pointed to a road, and the group quickly shuttled through it. Perhaps the rock bear and the giant lizard noticed their presence, but they did not compete with them for territory, and the two had no time to pay attention to them.
The two light spots on the array in Feng Ming's hand were very bright. After all, they were both level 5 wild beasts.
Not long after, another light spot appeared on the array. It was not a green light spot representing a wild beast, but a yellow light spot, which represented spiritual herbs or other natural treasures.
Feng Ming said, "Is that the giant lizard's lair? There are level 5 spiritual herbs growing in its lair. Should we sneak over to take a look?"
This was like pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth. If the lair was stolen, the giant lizard would ignore the rock bears that were competing with it for territory and turn to deal with them.
Fang Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Kong Zhao, you and Bai Qiaomo, go over and take a look. Go quickly."
Both of them were in the Yuandan realm and could fly in the air, which was faster. Moreover, judging from the few battles that Ji Yuan and Bai Qiaomo had experienced in the wilderness in the past few days, Bai Qiaomo's combat ability was much better than Ji Yuan's.
Bai Qiaomo nodded: "Master Fang, you guys keep going. We will catch up with you soon."
"Be careful." Feng Ming reminded him. He would rather give up the spiritual herb than let Bai Qiaomo take risks.
Bai Qiaomo nodded, turned around and flew to the light spot with Kong Zhao. Fang Zhi also led the rest of the people to continue to move forward, getting farther and farther away from the rock bear and the giant lizard.
In just over a quarter of an hour, Bai Qiaomo and Kong Zhao caught up from behind. From a distance, the angry roars of the two level 5 wild beasts could be heard. It seemed that the giant lizard had noticed that its nest had been robbed.
Kong Zhao, who caught up, showed a happy expression and handed over a jade box: "No wonder the giant lizard refused to give up its territory. It turned out that it had been guarding a dragon pattern fruit. The giant lizard ate one, and there were six left. Bai Qiaomo and I picked half each."
Fang Zhi raised his eyebrows: "It really is a good thing. Divide it among you."
This dragon pattern fruit is of great benefit to cultivators who have just entered the Yuan Dan realm. It can not only improve the physical strength, but also promote the cultivation of Yuan force. Although it cannot reach the level of a small level, it is also a rare treasure of heaven and earth.
If all seven dragon pattern fruits are consumed, it should be able to be promoted to a small level.
But now there are only six left, which cannot achieve the best effect. Therefore, Fang Zhi asked his Yuan Dan realm subordinates and Bai Qiaomo to share it, which can also be equivalent to a year of hard training.
It is conceivable that the giant lizard that has been guarding it will be very angry when this dragon pattern fruit is stolen. Soon the fight behind became more intense, and the roars of the giant lizard and the rock bear came one after another.
Bai Qiaomo brought back three dragon pattern fruits, one for each of him, Ji Yuan and Qiu Yi.
Qiu Yi was extremely happy, thinking that he had won a small victory over Feng Ming, and he began to chew them. Who said Feng Ming had not yet advanced to the Yuan Dan level and remained in the Yuan Ye realm? Such spiritual fruits were too concentrated for Feng Ming to digest, and the disadvantages outweighed the advantages.
Feng Ming puffed up his cheeks, damn it, he was making wedding clothes for these guys.
He was the first to discover it, but he didn't enjoy any benefits at all.
It was rare for Feng Ming to hold back after eating. Not only Kong Zhao, but even Fang Zhi found it funny. Fang Zhi promised: "Next time, if you find a natural treasure suitable for you, Feng Ming, I will take charge and it will all belong to you."
Feng Ming snorted twice: "You are bullying me, a Yuanye Realm person."
Fang Zhi laughed twice and led everyone to continue moving forward.
After Bai Qiaomo and the others finished eating the dragon pattern fruit, they quickly circulated their Yuanli to keep up. This also accelerated the diffusion of the dragon pattern fruit's medicinal power in the body, so that the medicinal power can be better absorbed. This is the unique way of the dragon pattern fruit, a natural treasure.
After Bai Qiaomo finished eating the dragon pattern fruit, he gave the core to Feng Ming. Feng Ming couldn't eat it this time, but he could enjoy the whole seven next time.
Seeing this, the others also collected the fruit cores. Although it was difficult to cultivate the dragon pattern fruit, they might be able to keep it alive with luck.
The wilderness that Fang Zhi chose was really chaotic. Not long after leaving the giant lizard's territory, they encountered another messy place, which was clearly left behind by the wild beasts after a fierce fight.
As for where the wild beasts that had fought here were now, no one knew.
Feng Ming asked curiously, "How did Lord Fang identify the traces left by the Xu family cultivator?"
Fang Zhi looked back at Feng Ming meaningfully, "This is the unique detection method of the Golden Armor Guards. Feng Ming, are you sure you want to know?"
Feng Ming immediately waved his hand, "No, I don't want to. I am curious, but not to this extent."
Seeing Feng Ming's refusal, Fang Zhi showed a look of regret, as if he was looking forward to Feng Ming's continued questioning.
Feng Ming curled his lips. How could he be so stupid that he fell for Fang Zhi's trick so easily?
When the group walked to the edge of a lake, a giant python suddenly jumped out of the lake.
Although they had encountered one before, that one was much worse than this one in terms of size and strength. That one was level three, while the one in front of them was level five mid-level.
It seemed to have been lurking for a long time, and its target was heading straight for one of Fang Zhi's men. It seemed that it was going to drag the man into the lake the next moment.
If the python really succeeded, the cultivator who was dragged into the water would probably not have a good ending, after all, the water was the python's home turf.
"Evil!" Fang Zhi looked back and was very angry.
Not only him, but even the detection formation did not detect its existence in advance. Fang Zhi felt offended, and turned around and stabbed the python with the sword in his hand, wanting to kill the python with one sword.
