The group set out again and headed towards the destination marked on the map in Huangfu Yao's hand.
It was not until we reached the southernmost tip of the Lost Forest, near dark, that we arrived at the valley marked on the map.
It was getting late at night, so Zhao Mingren suggested resting outside for a night and then entering the valley early the next morning just to be on the safe side.
Everyone had no objection. After all, although they could see in the dark, there were still many inconveniences. If they encountered a monster, there was a high possibility that they would lose their life.
However, outside this valley, there is a kind of black mosquito. Although it has only practiced Qi at the first or second level, it is good at hiding, making it difficult to guard against.
Although being bitten by this black mosquito is not a serious problem, it causes unbearable itching and a lot of discomfort.
Before long, several people were bitten by the black mosquito.
"These black mosquitoes are very annoying, and there are so many of them. Do you have any way to deal with them?"
"The inner sect Baihua Peak is good at poisoning and detoxifying. Do you have any good methods?"
Chu Chaner smiled slightly, took out a white jade bottle, and applied it on her body while speaking slowly.
"This is a unique insect repellent potion from our Baihua Peak. It's not worth many spirit stones, but if you apply it on your body, it can prevent poisonous insects from biting you."
As Chu Chan'er spread the potion, everyone only smelled a faint fragrance, which made them feel refreshed.
It was visible to the naked eye that the black mosquitoes around Chu Chan'er retreated one after another, and soon they all ran away, as if they were extremely disgusted by the smell.
Chu Chan'er took out some small bottles and told Xiao Qingyu, "Distribute these potions to everyone."
Chu Chaner came from Baihua Peak, and Baihua Peak was good at using poisons and also good at detoxification.
The insect repellent she took out was naturally effective.
Although everyone was afraid of her identity as a disciple of Baihua Peak, they had no doubts about the potion after seeing her use it herself.
Besides, she was traveling with everyone at the time, so there was no reason for her to poison them.
Several people who had been bitten by mosquitoes took the medicine and applied it to the bitten areas. They found that the itching sensation was immediately relieved. They immediately looked happy and applied the medicine all over their bodies.
Seeing this, the others also took the medicine bottles and applied the medicine on their bodies to prevent black mosquito bites.
Xu Chunniang also received a bottle of insect repellent, but she was more careful. She did not apply the medicine directly on her body. Instead, she took advantage of the night and secretly sprinkled some medicine on the ground around her.
Since the smell of this potion can repel poisonous insects, why bother applying it on the body
Even if the potion Chu Chan'er gave her was fine, she wouldn't have to take the risk.
Xu Chunniang's position was slightly off the beaten track, and she was not noticeable in the team, so no one noticed what she did.
On the second day, everyone entered the valley early.
The valley was filled with the fragrance of flowers, the chirping of birds, the flying of warblers and the growing of grass. It was a thriving scene, very different from the gloom of the Lost Forest. It looked like a paradise.
Zhao Mingren frowned slightly. It didn't look like there were any monsters here.
"Junior Sister Huangfu, are you sure we haven't been to the same place before?"
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Yao took out the map and checked it carefully.
"Yes, it is here."
As the two were talking, a strange fragrance came over, and those who smelled it immediately started to salivate.
"It smells so good, do you smell anything?"
"It doesn't smell like flowers, but some kind of fruit scent. It makes me feel strange."
Everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace, wanting to find out what was causing this strange fragrance.
"Look, what is that!"
I saw a huge tree growing not far ahead.
The tree is dark red all over and looks extremely extraordinary. Three crystal clear scarlet fruits hang on the treetops, and bursts of strange fragrance waft out from the fruits from time to time.
"It's the Blazing Fruit!"
Someone immediately recognized the spiritual fruit on the tree; it was a top-grade spiritual object, the Fiery Fallen Fruit.
This thing is very rare. Although it is only a first-level spiritual fruit, the fire-attributed spiritual power it contains is amazing. It is of great benefit to cultivators with fire spiritual roots. Its value is even higher than that of the three-leaf phantom spiritual flower.
But there were only three Fiery Fruit trees, and there were fourteen people present.
For a moment, everyone's minds were in turmoil, and they wanted to pick the spiritual fruit immediately and take it for themselves.
There was a flash of heat in Zhao Mingren's eyes. He had the dual spiritual roots of fire and wood. The Chi Luo Fruit would be of great help to him.
If he could take all three Fiery Fruits for himself, he would be able to break through to the ninth level of Qi training in one go!
He suppressed the greed in his heart and said, "Everyone, in front of these spiritual creatures, we will use our own methods!"
After saying that, Zhao Mingren took the lead and rushed towards the blazing fruit tree.
Before entering the valley, Wei Qingqing received instructions from Zhao Mingren. She immediately moved and followed him closely.
Seeing this, the others could no longer hold back and began to use their body skills to shoot forward.
For a moment, the only ones left there were Dai Yuzhu and her two sisters and Xu Chunniang.
Dai Yuzhu's eyes flickered slightly, and she glanced at Xu Chunniang, saying meaningfully, "You are an outer sect disciple, and you are not tempted at all when you see such a rare treasure?"
Xu Chunniang bowed her head slightly, "I know that my cultivation is shallow, and my skills are even more sparse and ordinary. Even if I try my best, I can't compete with the inner sect brothers and sisters."
Dai Yuzhu withdrew her gaze, which was a sign of her self-awareness.
"Sister, why don't you let us pass? Isn't Xanthium not moving?"
Anxiety flashed across Lin Yuxuan's face. "There are only three Blazing Fruits in total. If the three of us take action, we can at least grab one!"
Although Xiao Fen didn't say anything, he looked at his senior sister with an equally anxious look.
"Any spiritual creature in heaven and earth must be guarded by a demon beast."
Dai Yuzhu spoke calmly, with a look of determination in her eyes, "It won't be that easy for them to succeed. We can wait until they fight the monster and then we can reap the benefits. But now is almost the time, let's go!"
After saying that, Dai Yuzhu and the other two walked out together and headed towards the direction of the Chiluoguo.
Xu Chunniang was listening to the two people's conversation from behind, and couldn't help but admire Sister Dai's good calculations.
It takes an extraordinary person to resist greed in the face of such a treasure, wait for the opportunity to strike, and wait for the right moment to strike.
As for her own lack of action, it was not because she had no idea about the Fiery Fruit.
One is that Xu Chunniang's current cultivation level is only the fifth level of Qi training. With this level of cultivation level, she can't compete with this group of inner disciples.
The second is that since entering the valley, although everything seemed safe, Xu Chunniang observed that some roots were exposed on the ground around the Fiery Fruit Tree.
Xu Chunniang majored in spiritual plants and had some understanding of the characteristics of the Fiery Fruit Tree. Logically speaking, the Fiery Fruit Tree had deep roots and there should not be any roots exposed.
Everyone was so crazy about the falling fruit that no one paid attention to the details, and no one cared about Xu Chunniang who was standing still.
The fastest one was Zhao Mingren. He was the first to arrive at the Chiluo Fruit Tree. Just as he was about to take the spiritual fruit, he saw that the huge tree in front of him suddenly changed its appearance.
