"Master, this thing is indeed magical. I feel that I should be able to break through to the second level of mortal transformation soon!"
After eating the red fruit and adjusting his breath on the spot for more than ten minutes, Lu Zhishen said to Ji Ye with surprise in his big copper bell eyes.
Of course, just saying that a red fruit does not allow him to directly advance to the first level of powerful ability, but also because the energy of the "Black Snake Spirit" that was sacrificed when he arrived yesterday has been integrated into his body, and combined with the red fruit, effect.
"Well, this is Zhu Guo's descendant. He is naturally extraordinary. It's a pity that he was mutated by this mandrill."
Ji Ye waved his fist and felt that the energy and blood had also increased a lot, but he said with a little regret.
At this time, he had already remembered that he seemed to have read about the spiritual plant "Zhu Guo" in a certain classical novel. Even a master cultivator in the novel praised it quite highly, as if eating it could even "benefit" Qi lives forever."
Not to mention anything else, if this is the real "Zhu Guo", and he spends rare merits to redeem it on the earth, it will definitely be enough to make those rich people fight for their heads.
For example, the terminally ill Middle Eastern tycoon who spoke on the forum before, without further ado, is definitely willing to spend tens of millions of dollars!
"I don't know if there is any way to restore it... Hey, the color of the roots in this section seems to have become a little brighter."
While Ji Ye was looking at Zhu Guo, his eyes suddenly noticed something unusual.
He had just placed the Black Snake Sword beside him while adjusting his breath. Some mandrill blood remained on the sword and dripped onto the roots of the red fruit tree, which seemed to greatly increase its activity.
"Yes, these soils are irrigated with the blood of wild beasts in the mountains."
"However, the blood of these mortal beasts is definitely not comparable to the blood of a mandrill with the bloodline of the 'Mountain God'. If the mandrill's blood is poured down, it may be able to ripen or even improve the quality of the entire red fruit!"
Ji Ye's eyes lit up.
"Leader Lu, let's collect the soil contaminated by the mandrill's blood during the battle."
Then, he greeted Lu Zhishen with some excitement.
Moreover, although a lot of the mandrill's own blood was drained by the Black Snake Sword, some more could still be squeezed out by squeezing it hard. In the future, you can obtain the blood of wild beasts from hunting in the village, and you can also take it here to water this spiritual plant and continue to cultivate its fruits.
Of course, the best way is to move the tree directly to the village. However, this kind of special plant must have special growth environment requirements. If it cannot survive after transplantation, the loss will be unacceptable.
"Moreover, the 'treasure' in this mandrill cave gave me some reminders."
Ji Ye remembered two things.
First, you definitely need to move the things in your "cave" to the cottage as soon as possible.
The second is, since there are "treasures" in the residence of this quasi-leader mandrill, will the black snake's pool on the top of the mountain also have some kind of good stuff
Yesterday, I really ignored this!
…
"Okay, as long as you don't get close enough to smell the aroma, you shouldn't be discovered!"
"Leader Lu, since we have come here, we might as well go explore the situation around Erlong Mountain."
However, Ji Ye did not immediately go to the top of the mountain with Lu Zhishen. Instead, after making the camouflage of the mandrill's cave entrance even tighter, Ji Ye turned to look at Lu Zhishen and made a rather surprising decision. .
Because, according to the forum, the straight line distance of about one mile from the core of the stronghold to the center belongs to the monsters, plants, and environment related to the stronghold.
What about a mile away
Ji Ye had been chasing the mandrill all the way before, but now based on the straight-line distance calculation, Ji Ye estimated that it was almost a mile away.
Now that we're all here, why not take a look outside Erlong Mountain
"good!"
Lu Zhishen nodded.
…
"Well, did a valley appear?"
Two minutes later, when the two of them arrived about a mile away, there was no road in front of them.
One side of Erlong Mountain seemed to have been cut off directly by a knife, forming a very steep cliff, and below the cliff was a valley of unknown depth and filled with fog that made it difficult to see clearly.
However, the fog above the valley was much thinner. At least Ji Ye's strong eyesight could see the situation on the other side clearly.
The opposite location is also a cliff, but the scenery above the cliff, in terms of grass and vegetation, is very different from Erlong Mountain, as if it comes from another region.
And the most important thing is that when Ji Ye looked over, he noticed several creatures at a glance.
They were several standing creatures with body shapes somewhat similar to humans, but with three eyes and hooked beaks similar to those of an eagle. They were wearing simple armor woven from unknown vines. They were more slender than humans. There are also some hands that resemble eagle claws and even hold some weapons and rope-like tools.
When Ji Ye saw them, these humanoid creatures extended their arms that resembled eagle claws and made several gestures with each other.
Then, they quickly dispersed and arranged something on the ground.
"Sure enough, is it a foreign race?"
Ji Ye's eyes trembled slightly.
I wasn't too surprised.
After all, Lu Zhishen had said before when he arrived that there were foreign strongholds around Erlong Mountain.
It is obvious that this kind of "hawk-beaked man" belongs to an intelligent race, knows how to use weapons and tools, and even has the ability to exchange "information" with each other!
As for whether they are aliens from this universe, or a race from another universe or plane
There is no way to judge this point. In fact, no player has reported information about alien races to the coalition government.
Just because the surroundings of any stronghold are full of dangers, leaving the stronghold to explore the edges is a risky act in itself.
And to find a foreign stronghold, you need to cross a strange territory belonging to a foreign civilization.
If they hadn't been chasing the mandrill, Ji Ye and Lu Zhishen would definitely not have gone so far away from the stronghold at this stage!
As for the reason why the opposite party ran to this edge valley area, it seemed that it was also because they were chasing a certain prey.
"Ho, ho..."
After several aliens arranged on the ground for about a minute, a roar suddenly came from the mountain forest opposite. A bear looked like a bear, with extremely thick purple hair, and a layer of flesh similar to wings between its two flanks. A creature about the height of a human rushed out of the membrane and fled.
Yes, run away!
This "winged bear" had messy purple hair all over its body, stained with blood, and even had an arrow-like object stuck in one of its eyes.
Behind it, there were several eagle-billed aliens shouting and surrounding it from all sides.
Directly behind him, there was a particularly tall alien with an eagle beak, holding a weapon similar to a bow and arrow in his hand, and shot an arrow covered with a layer of green energy from a distance.
Whoosh!
The flying arrow hit the back of the "Winged Bear", and the arrow body, which was more than four feet long, penetrated completely, and then almost came out from the front end.
Roar!
The arrow made Wing Bear scream in pain, but he didn't dare to stop. Instead, he rushed towards the cliff, obviously hoping to use the cliff to escape!
"Wow!"
However, when it was about to rush towards the cliff.
However, several hidden rope nooses suddenly appeared on the ground in front of it, trapping both of its legs and causing its speed to suddenly stop.
Immediately afterwards, several aliens who had been ambushing before appeared and rushed forward with weapons.
"Ho, ho..."
The trapped purple long-haired winged bear struggled hard, and the sound waves emitted from its roar seemed to have a physical form, even causing the soil on the ground to roll out into waves.
Obviously, there is a high chance that this is a metamorphosis-level creature.
However, at this time, it was difficult to even escape.
Because these aliens used all kinds of knives, spears, bows and arrows, ropes and other tools in their hands to completely surround them.
It's also because these alien races are far superior to ordinary humans in terms of speed and strength.
Maybe he can't reach the mortal level, but he is at least the seventh or eighth mortal level, comparable to the purple jade mantis and the bronze bull!
At this time, the particularly tall alien slowly pulled up the bow-like weapon in his hand again and aimed at the trapped purple winged bear!
However, at the moment when it was about to be shot out, it suddenly changed direction.
"Be careful with arrows, Leader Lu!"
Ji Ye, who was on this side of the cliff, had his eyes glazed over and shouted loudly.
