After Xiao Liyue and his group left the cave, they walked into an ice lake under the leadership of Ziqing.
Ziqing jumped onto the ice and said happily, "Master, I can sense that the treasure is under this ice lake, but I also feel another powerful aura, which should be the guardian spirit beast of this treasure."
Xiao Liyue looked at Gu Qinghan and said, "Brother Gu, I would only be a burden to you if I go down. Why don't you take Xiao Chenchen and the others in? You can also give them some training while you're at it."
Gu Qinghan knew that it was not easy to find treasures, and even if it was dangerous down there, it was worth exploring, so he agreed, "Okay, then Junior Sister Xiao will wait for us up there, let's go down and take a look first."
"Well! Ziqing can go with them!" Xiao Liyue said.
Ziqing nodded and said, "Yes, Master."
Although Yu Fengchen was worried about leaving her alone, he had to go down.
Gu Qinghan took out the magic sword, gathered spiritual power into the sword, held the sword with both hands and stabbed it towards the ice. The place on the ice lake where he was stabbed immediately cracked, and he hurriedly stepped back.
Looking at the huge pit, Gu Qinghan turned around and looked at Xiao Liyue: "Junior Sister Xiao, let's go into the water. Everyone, please follow behind me and Jiang He to avoid danger." After saying that, he took out the water-repellent beads and took the lead to jump into the lake.
Seeing this, Jiang He also took out the water-repellent beads from his storage ring and followed closely. Yu Fengchen, Ziqing, Wei Zishu and others also took out the water-repellent beads to protect themselves and jumped down.
Watching the people going down, Xiao Liyue sat on the back of the Fire Spirit Bird, waiting quietly.
Gu Qinghan and his companions swam down to the bottom of the lake. After swimming for a long time, they discovered a three-meter-high glowing silver tree on a huge rock at the bottom of the lake. The branches of the tree were full of red fruits, each of which was extremely tempting.
Wei Zishu and Nangong Yu stared at the fruit in fascination, but although they were knowledgeable, they had never seen a tree growing at the bottom of a lake in history books.
Just as they were stunned, dark waves suddenly surged in the lake, and a powerful breath rushed towards them. The mud under the lake bottom bulged up, and an ugly black giant fish appeared in front of them.
The giant fish had a mouth full of sharp teeth and it bit towards Gu Qinghan as it swam.
Gu Qinghan swung his sword, and rays of cold light attacked it. The sword collided with the fish scales, and the sound of the collision was like two pieces of iron colliding. Sparks flew and a sharp sound was made, followed by a scream that spread throughout the area for miles.
Xiao Liyue, who was on the ice lake, listened to the roar of beasts coming from the bottom of the lake. It seemed that Gu Qinghan had already started fighting with the creatures under the water.
Seeing this, Jiang He quickly swung his sword to attack again, and Yu Fengchen and others also stepped forward to help.
While they were fighting hard, a small purple figure had arrived at the silver tree without anyone noticing.
If they looked closely, they would find that it was Ziqing. At this moment, it was grinning and squinting its eyes and laughing. It held the tree roots with its two little paws and pulled its whole body back with force. The three-meter-high silver tree was uprooted and then put into the storage space.
The giant fish that was besieged by Gu Qinghan and others looked at the disappearing silver tree, leaving only a huge pit to prove its existence. A hint of cruelty flashed in the giant fish's eyes, and it let out a shrill roar and opened its mouth to spit out streams of water blades.
Ziqing hid behind a rock and took advantage of the giant fish going crazy to swim stealthily towards the surface of the lake.
Gu Qinghan looked at Ziqing's expression and knew that it had taken the silver tree away, so he waved his hand, signaling them to go first, and he and Jiang He would follow behind.
Yu Fengchen and the others nodded, then swam towards the lake.
The giant fish became even more furious when it saw them trying to escape. The spiritual fruit it had been guarding for thousands of years had just matured, and it had only eaten one before it was pulled out by the roots by these shameless monks. How could it not be angry?
I saw walls of water rising up around Yu Fengchen and his companions, blocking their escape route, and the giant fish quickly opened its mouth and bit them.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Yu Fengchen and his companions quickly swung their swords at it. The giant fish, in pain, swung its tail wildly, and sent Chu Mingyou and Situ Moshan flying more than ten meters away, knocking them unconscious. Although Nangong Yu and Wei Zishu avoided the attack of the tail, they were also knocked several meters away.
Yu Fengchen was not thrown away because his sword was stuck in the fish scales. He stabbed the giant fish again with all his strength. The sword penetrated deeply into the body of the giant fish, and the blood instantly dyed a large area of water red.
"Roar..." The giant fish roared in pain, and its body shook wildly, trying to throw Yu Fengchen off.
Seeing this, Gu Qinghan and Jiang He came forward to help. Wei Zishu and Nangong Yu also quickly came forward to help. They cooperated with each other and soon the giant fish lost the power to fight back.
Finally, when Gu Qinghan stabbed a sword straight into the fish's eye and its head, the giant fish slowly stopped moving and its huge body slowly sank under the water.
After the fight, Wei Zishu and Nangong Yu swam towards Chu Mingyou and Situ Mo. Seeing the two injured and unconscious people, they helped them swim towards the surface of the lake.
Xiao Liyue heard no movement from the bottom of the lake. At this moment, a small hole was bitten in the ice on the lake surface under her feet, and Ziqing's little purple head popped out of the hole.
When it saw Xiao Liyue, it shouted happily: "Master, master... Ziqing has brought the treasure back to you."
Seeing its flattering appearance, she couldn't help but praise it: "Well! Very good! You can eat whatever you want today."
Ziqing shook off the water on her body, crawled to her happily and said, "Master, Ziqing wants to eat the spiritual fruit in the space, can I?"
"Haha... so you are greedy for my spiritual grapes. Of course you can, eat as much as you want, just don't waste them." Xiao Liyue said with a smile.
"Thank you, master. This is the treasure guarded by the strange fish at the bottom of the lake. I don't know what kind of spiritual fruit it is, but it smells very strong in spiritual energy." After saying that, Ziqing placed the uprooted silver tree in front of Xiao Liyue.
Looking at the silver tree in front of her, with dozens of red fruits on it, she naturally didn't know what kind of spiritual fruit it was, but it didn't look like an ordinary item.
Suddenly, Chi Yi's voice came from the space: "Yueyue, quickly ask Ziqing to bring it into the space, and then plant it in the spiritual spring water. This is a ten-thousand-year-old fairy tree, and the fruit on the tree is the red blood spirit fruit, which can only bear fruit once every thousand years. For cultivators below the Tribulation Crossing Stage, eating one will give them a chance to advance. However, each red blood spirit fruit contains a very rich spiritual energy. Eating too much will cause the body to explode and die."
Upon hearing about such a great treasure, Xiao Liyue picked twenty-one fruits, left the remaining five on the tree and asked Ziqing to take them into the space. She then instructed it to dig a deep pit under the spiritual spring water, and finally planted the fairy tree under the spiritual spring water.
After commanding Ziqing, he let it eat spiritual grapes in the space.
After everything was done, Wei Zishu and Nangong Yu came up with the unconscious Chu Mingyou and Situ Mo.
When Xiao Liyue saw that Chu Mingyou and the other man were injured, she quickly walked up to them and fed them some medicine.
Seeing them gradually recover, I felt relieved.
