In the afternoon, under a tree.
"It's done!" Du Yu murmured softly with an excited look on his face.
On his shoulder, the little fire fox turret held up its furry head, looking proud: "Bing!"
"Hehe." Du Yu patted Xiao Yan's big tail wrapped around his neck and watched the little flying fish flee in panic and return to the lake.
If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the third demon crystal that Du Yu has harvested!
After 6 or 7 hours of pulling back and forth, he has gained some experience. A small flying fish with a body length of more than 40 cm should be at the peak of the mortal level.
In the process of success and failure, Du Yu and Xiao Yan's cooperation became more and more tacit, and their combination skills became smoother. The most important thing is...
There is also delicious grilled fish here!
It's very comfortable~
The long battle also made Du Yu realize his own shortcomings.
The amount of fire demon energy stored in his and Xiaoyan's bodies was too little. Except for the first two consecutive times of bombing fish ponds, he and Xiaoyan had to rest for a while in the remaining times before they could replenish the demon energy in their bodies.
"The third demon crystal." Du Yu took out a demon crystal. The disgusting fishy smell seemed much better now.
On the second day after arriving here, I completed the three-month academic task assigned by Teacher Qingqing... ...
Without further ado, thanks to the little flying fishes for the big demon crystals!
When I, Du Yu, become a god and a saint and ascend to heaven, I will definitely remember the first pot of gold you gave me.
I'll grill two more skewers of fish then to commemorate you.
Compared to the first time he caught the fish, Du Yu's technique was much smoother this time. He picked up a branch that had been prepared long ago and skewered the fish on it.
In Daxia's demon culture, there is also a clear list of edible demon beasts.
Because some monsters have strong reproductive abilities and delicious meat, they have been domesticated and become livestock, no different from chickens and ducks in the ordinary world.
Small flying fish are naturally on the menu of the Daxia people. They can live so long and reproduce so quickly that the lake is almost flooded with them.
"Hmm." Next to the campfire, Xiao Yan shook his big fiery red tail, stared at the grilled fish on the branch with his golden brown fox eyes, and licked his lips constantly.
"Wait a moment, grill it a little longer." Du Yu sat cross-legged on the ground, turning the grilled fish over while thinking secretly in his heart.
Next time I enter the strange world of demons and spirits, should I bring some salt, chili powder, etc.
Xiao Fenyang: "Xiao Yan seems to be advancing."
"Oh?" Du Yu was delighted. "Today's training was so effective? Are we going to advance?"
"Xiao Yan is a gifted exotic pet. This is a magical land, and with my help..."
Listening to Xiao Fen Yang's words, Du Yu nodded repeatedly, and his mind became active. After fighting for so long, now is a good time to absorb the demon's breath and nourish the body!
The area near the twin ancient trees was obviously the place where the demonic aura was the most concentrated. However, it was just pure demonic aura, without any clear attributes.
Precisely because the demonic breath has no attributes, it can give birth to and nourish all living things, and ultimately create this world, giving a feeling of "teaching without distinction".
It is no exaggeration to say that the twin ancient trees are the "mother" of this magical and mysterious world.
In addition to mainstream factions such as the twin ancient trees, there are also many monsters and spirits with their own attributes.
This kind of special demon realm is only suitable for the growth of creatures with specific attributes. And the "mother" of this kind of demon realm is often beyond people's expectations.
For example, some powerful demonic plant, or some demonic beast that has become a god.
They had no idea how many years they had been practicing, but they had acquired the ability to know everything, enough to enclose a piece of land, nourish the soil and water, and create their own civilization.
In fact, creators like demonic plants and demonic beasts are relatively acceptable.
Du Yu also knew about some special monster realms. When he first came to this world, he searched for all kinds of random information on his mobile phone.
For example, at the end of the eastern section of Wuyi Mountain, there is a sword that is a hundred meters long!
According to legend, it was abandoned by its owner hundreds of years ago.
For some unknown reason, it awakened its spiritual intelligence, and then embarked on an alternative path to heaven, eventually creating its own civilization - the Lei Chi Sword Tomb.
To this day, the sword still stands on the land of Daxia, and it has a history of hundreds of years...
Du Yu, who had been traveling through mountains and ridges, was thinking wildly in his mind. He finally stood on a hillside and looked at the huge trees in the distance. He couldn't help but sigh:
"Oh My God!"
Du Yu finally understood why it was called the "Twin" ancient tree.
These are obviously two ancient trees, but their trunks are like a twist, entwined and growing in a spiral.
The huge ancient tree blocks out the sun and is nearly a hundred meters tall.
The lush branches hang down for dozens of meters, swaying gently in the wind, and are covered with beautiful white flowers, like a waterfall, extremely majestic and spectacular!
"Hmm?" Du Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. With his amazing eyesight, he noticed the abnormality at the first moment.
There is a tree among them, why does it seem to be withered
The bark colors of the two giant trees growing intertwined are slightly different.
Du Yu raised his eyes and looked diagonally upwards.
It was a scene of lush branches and leaves. Among the naturally hanging branches, twin flowers in full bloom could be seen everywhere, which was a beautiful sight.
However, such prosperity seems to be just an illusion
Among the dense branches and leaves, there are obviously dry branches mixed in. Not to mention twin flowers, they don’t even have leaves!
"Is one of them going to die?" Du Yu couldn't help but exclaimed, his heart was filled with waves.
Such a scene is really too shocking.
The blooming flowers symbolize the blooming life.
Withered branches represent aging and decay.
It just so happens that these two towering trees are intertwined together, and life and death are so closely entangled and dependent on each other.
"Du Yu Du Yu~"
"Um?"
"Be careful, don't just stare blankly, there are a lot of monsters around."
"Yeah." Du Yu came back to his senses and looked around.
Around the twin ancient trees, he saw some traces of the demon controllers' activities, such as campfires, sleeping bags, and even tents.
It seems that people's thoughts are consistent with Du Yu's. They know that the demonic aura here is the most intense, so they come here specifically to practice.
And this group of demon beasts gathered together and formed a demon beast camp. Maybe it was to keep warm together, after all, there were many demon beasts gathered here.
"How can I get a twin flower?" Du Yu did not intend to have any interaction with the demon controller. He did not go down the hillside, but took a detour to the side.
Although the branches of the twin ancient trees are very long and look like waterfalls, they are still 20 to 30 meters away from the ground, so it is obviously unrealistic to pick them by hand.
As Du Yu thought about it, he took out his mobile phone and scanned the beautiful flower trees.
“The twin trees, the creator of the demonic world.
Born naturally between heaven and earth, it has the special ability to release magical energy to nourish all things and transform the environment.
It is rich in a kind of strange fruit called twin fruit, which is a high-level demon material. It has high nutritional value and is loved by all demon pets.
Strength level evaluation in progress... ...
Spiritual level · Great Accomplishment Stage ~ Spiritual level · Peak Stage, the specific strength is subject to the actual situation, and the illustration detection is for reference only."
Spiritual level, a height that ordinary people cannot even dream of in their lifetime.
If it is a demon beast, a fourth-level spiritual demon beast can already condense a demon soul and have a second life!
Just like Xiao Fenyang, even if he dies, as long as there is a trace of his soul left, he can rebuild his body.
"Huh? What are they doing?" Du Yu stopped and fixed his eyes on the demon controllers' camp.
It seemed that there was some conflict among the demon controllers in the camp, and it even escalated into physical conflict.
A middle-aged man in a white shirt and jeans kept pushing one of the young men, cursing: "You Paper Crane disciples are so green and stupid! You are ignorant, and you want to drag us down with you?"
"What are you doing? Do you want to fight?" The young man, who looked to be 17 or 18 years old, pushed back the aggressive middle-aged man.
"Get away! If you want to pick the twin flowers, then go find a deserted place and dream about it. Don't drag us down here." The middle-aged man was obviously very angry and pushed the young man viciously.
Behind the middle-aged man, many demon controllers began to speak.
The young man's face turned pale and he turned around and left: "Let's go."
The middle-aged man was still cursing: "What bad luck! A bunch of mentally retarded disciples who know nothing and are more troublesome than the other! Sooner or later they will be carried away by the soldiers..."
Du Yu looked around curiously. Due to the distance, he couldn't hear clearly why the two sides were arguing. But it was obvious that the two young demon masters were expelled from the camp.
The man and woman who left only walked a few hundred meters before stopping.
The girl among them was holding a small wooden stake covered with green leaves. She was obviously the official designated novice monster - Mudundun.
On the boy's shoulder stood a small grey bird, which was obviously a novice wind-type demon pet, the Little Wind Eagle.
What are they going to do
Du Yu squatted down and found that both of them were looking up at the naturally hanging twin branches. He couldn't help but feel moved.
Are these two people going to pick flowers from the twin trees
“Swoosh~”
At the girl's command, two vines suddenly emerged from Mu Dun Dun's dense hair, tens of meters long, and rolled towards the flowers on the branches.
The young man also drew his bow and arrow, and a wind-swept arrow gathered on the wooden bow. It was slightly white, and the shape of the wind entangled it was very cool.
"Ah! Ahhh!" The girl suddenly screamed, and the scream continued from far away.
The branches of the twin trees seem to have life, the later they grow, the earlier they arrive.
Before Mudundun's vine touched the small white flower, a branch of the twin trees suddenly grew wildly when it was about to do so.
It directly grabbed the girl and her wooden stool and threw them into the sky!
The young man who was drawing the bow and arrow had a frozen expression on his face, and the bird on his shoulder, which was ready to use a small wind blade, also froze in place.
"Help... Help!" the girl screamed loudly. She had flown to the top and had already started falling.
"It's over." Du Yu's heart tightened, wondering whether the soldiers would show up.
The girl was thrown nearly 100 meters high, and the fall was inevitable. The demon soldiers squatting near the twin trees should help her, right
"Swoosh~" Another branch suddenly shot out and wrapped around the rapidly falling girl and her demon pet.
The soldiers didn't take action, but the twin trees took action instead
Conquer people with virtue? The soft branches tied the girl, slowing her down and finally putting her on the ground.
The girl's legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
Still in shock, she looked up at the towering and majestic twin trees. She froze for 5 or 6 seconds before she suddenly burst into tears: “Wow… Wow!”
In this life, she would probably never dare to pick flowers from the twin trees again. Her male companion also put down his bow and arrow and retreated in panic.
"Oh." Du Yu sighed. The ring from the Demon Spirit Bookstore was indeed not so easy to get.
The twin trees showed mercy and spared the life of the evildoer. What if the twin trees were not merciful? If they whipped him directly... ...
"Hmm~" Xiao Yan rubbed Du Yu's face and gently soothed Du Yu's heart.
"Let's stop dreaming. Our lives are at stake." Du Yu said softly, standing up. "Let's go find a quiet place to camp."
"Bing!"
