Cangya Mountain is a continuous mountain range.
"Let's go to Wuhu Canyon." Yi Xiao ordered, "Mr. Qian, check where you can avoid monsters."
"Okay, I'll check."
Uncle Qian's nose, the skinny monster old servant, changed into a black dog's nose. He sniffed his nose and distinguished countless auras.
Qin Yun watched from the side, even the dogs that didn't become monsters had good noses. This dog demon's nose is even better, not to mention the strength of this monster old servant, which surpasses the nineteen monster leaders under the command of the water god.
"This Cangya Mountain is indeed the largest mountain in Guangling County. There are indeed many monsters lurking here. I found many monsters within ten miles." Uncle Qian, the old monster servant, said, "Come with me, I will lead the way. "
"Walk."
Yi Xiao, Qin Yun, and Jia Huairen quickly followed behind.
go all the way.
Under the leadership of Uncle Qian, Qin Yun and the others really didn't encounter a single monster.
After walking in the deep mountains for half an hour, the monster's old servant "Uncle Qian" sniffed his nose from time to time, and suddenly he stopped and said in a low voice: "Miss Yi, the Wuhu Canyon is three miles ahead. There are very many, because they are mixed together, they should also live together. It is also difficult for me to distinguish. But I can judge that at least hundreds of monsters are entrenched there."
"There are at least a hundred monsters hiding in a misty lake canyon?" Yi Xiao's expression changed slightly.
Even little demons generally have the strength to knock open the tenth level of Qi refining.
Just like when Qin Yun beheaded the old demon Chu Yong in the underground palace, he was besieged by seven little demons. In fact, all of those seven little demons were not easy to mess with! If there are hundreds of such little demons... the practitioners will also feel afraid.
"The Millennium Ice Jade Fruit is in the Wuhu Canyon. Hundreds of monsters are there, probably to guard the Millennium Ice Jade Fruit." Yi Xiao said, "It seems that the monsters also value this spirit fruit."
"Miss Yi, what should I do next?" Uncle Qian asked the old monster servant, "There are too many monsters in the Wuhu Canyon."
"Go into the Wuhu Canyon first, and find a place where you can see the thousand-year-old ice jade fruit tree." Miss Yi solemnly said, "We must make sure that we can see the ice jade fruit ripen!"
"good."
Uncle Qian, the monster's old servant, immediately led the way without complaint.
"Enter Wuhu Canyon now?" Jia Huairen asked in a low voice, "Should we wait until the time is up before entering?"
"If you go in when the time is right, and you find that the spiritual fruit is already ripe for picking, it will be too late. And after you go in, you have to decide the route for picking the fruit, so you have to go in early." Miss Yi Xiao glanced at Jia Huairen, "What, are you afraid?"
"No, I'm not afraid, how could I be afraid?" Jia Huairen also knew that he couldn't back down when he got to this point.
Qin Yun, on the other hand, seemed calm. After all, people who have stayed at the northern border for three years don't feel the slightest bit of nervousness at this moment.
It was only three miles away, but the four of them were walking more and more slowly, fearing that monsters would find out what was going on.
"See it."
On the mountainside, Qin Yun and the others looked at the canyon below.
The most conspicuous thing in the Wuhu Canyon is a lake exuding heat. The water of this lake is warm all year round, the heat is rising, and the mist is filled. Also known as the 'Lake of the Fog'. Not far from the foggy lake, there is a fruit tree that looks like a piece of ice. The fruit tree is under the sunlight, even if it is affected by the fog, you can still see the refraction of the sunlight.
There is a blue fruit on this fruit tree, just such a fruit.
There are more than ten monsters standing bored around! In the entire canyon, at a glance, you can still see twenty or thirty monsters scattered everywhere. Even on the mountainsides on both sides, there are monsters guarding them. If these monsters were hiding in the human city, they would naturally look completely human, but in the deep mountains and lakes, there is no need for them. They all bear the heads of beasts, or hold weapons in their hands, or have weapons stuck in their waists.
"There are also seven or eight monsters hiding in the mountain walls on both sides. They should be observing all directions." Uncle Qian, the old monster servant, sniffed his nose and whispered, "There are thirty or forty monsters patrolling the canyon for a long time. , and the courtyard in the center should be the resting place for monsters in rotation, I can feel that most of the monsters are in that courtyard."
Looking down from Qin Yun, the house occupies a large area, but the construction is very rough. After all, it is to protect the place where the 'Millennium Bingyuguo' temporarily lives.
"Miss Yi, how did you go to pick the spirit fruit?" Qin Yun asked.
"The fruit tree is surrounded by flat land." Yi Xiao frowned, and said in a low voice, "There are more than ten monsters surrounding the fruit tree, and there are twenty or thirty monsters a little farther away. If there is any movement, there are many other monsters in the courtyard." I'm afraid they will all come out. The canyon is so vast that you can see everything at a glance. If you want to go there to pick fruit... you must rely on invisibility."
"Invisibility?" Qin Yun's eyes lit up.
Invisibility is an extremely difficult spell to practice, and it is possible for ordinary innate talents to practice it. As for monsters? Monsters have different talents because of their different races. Some are born to burrow into the ground, some are born to fly, and some are born to be invisible. Monsters are also envious of the high "savvy" of human practitioners.
A monster who has practiced for thousands of years is not as good as the best human practitioners who have practiced for ten years!
But human beings are still envious of the long lifespan of monsters! People with high congenital golden elixir can live only five hundred years.
Each has its own advantages.
"Brother Qin may be the only one to pick fruits." Yi Xiao said, "Jia Huairen may not have the guts to go there to pick fruits, and Mr. Qian can't use Taoist talismans."
"Brother Qin." Jia Huairen also smiled apologetically.
joke.
Going to pick fruit, I was unlucky, and I was discovered before I touched the fruit.
Even if it is so powerful that it can't be found, once the fruit is picked, the monsters will find it immediately. At that time, it is likely to face a siege.
"Okay, leave it to me." Qin Yun nodded, and he also knew that only he could do this task.
Yi Xiao took out a Taoist talisman from his bosom.
Qin Yun saw that it was the invisibility talisman. To be honest, he had one himself! However, the invisibility talisman is quite expensive, and it is not easy for him to accumulate some resources as a casual cultivator.
"Brother Qin, picking fruit is the most dangerous thing, please trouble Brother Qin. If it's impossible, even if you give up the spiritual fruit, you have to save your own life." Yi Xiao handed the Dao Talisman to Qin Yun.
"Don't worry, you must save your life first." Qin Yun took it.
"We'll see Brother Qin in a while." Jia Huairen also boasted from the sidelines. Ever since he knew that Qin Yun could kill such terrifying monsters as the Rhinoceros Demon with a single strike, Jia Huairen was afraid of Qin Yun. After all... Facing any terrifying strong man who can kill him with one move, he naturally lacks confidence. Jia Huairen hadn't experienced many serious dangers.
Qin Yun looked down, thinking about the approximate route.
"Let's go, let's keep getting closer." Yi Xiao said, "We can meet Brother Qin later."
"Continue to approach?" Jia Huairen's face changed slightly.
"If we are hundreds of feet away from him, we won't be able to respond when he picks the fruit." Yi Xiao said, "Go, continue."
Qin Yun smiled and glanced at Yi Xiao, this girl Yi Xiao is quite decisive.
This time the four of them were even more careful.
Both Qin Yun and Miss Yi Xiao opened their eyes to look around, but they mainly relied on the monster's old servant, Uncle Qian! Because the viewing range of the Fayan is limited, just like when Qin Yun opened the Fayan, the monsters in the underground palace could not be seen from a little further away.
Uncle Qian, the monster's old servant, led the three of them very carefully, trying to get as close as possible to the thousand-year-old ice jade fruit tree.
"I can't get any closer. There are still sixty feet away from the fruit tree." The old servant Qian Shu said via voice transmission, "Fortunately, there are only a few monsters, and there are only dozens of guards around, and the monsters are lazy. If the human army is on guard , you can’t get that close.”
"Sixty feet, it's enough." Miss Yi Xiao nodded, at this distance, her Lei Fa could support her.
Like before, separated by hundreds of feet, there is no way.
"Now we just have to wait until the spiritual fruit matures." Miss Yi Xiao said via voice transmission.
"Um."
Everyone present, including Qin Yun, completely restrained their movements and lay dormant silently waiting for the spiritual fruit to ripen.
*****
And on the official road.
As early as in the middle of the night, the city gate was quietly opened, and the sheriff and his party who left Guangling County were about to arrive at Yu'an County. However, according to the plan, they would not enter Yu'an County, but went directly to the foot of Cangya Mountain.
The sheriff was sitting in the carriage, surrounded by a group of master guards, including Commander Fang, who naturally followed him all the time.
"call."
A flying eagle swooped down from the sky.
"Huh?" A personal guard raised his head and immediately stretched out his hand, and the flying eagle landed on his arm.
The personal guard took the secret letter from Feiying's calf, and handed it to the county guard's son 'Wen Chong'.
"Letter?" As soon as Wen Chong took it, he frowned when he saw the mark on the letter, and opened the rolled secret letter to take a look.
"Stop, Daddy, Daddy."
Wen Chong even shouted.
The whole team stopped, and the old county guard opened the curtains of the car and looked outside: "What's the matter?"
Wen Chong handed over the secret letter.
The old county guard took a look, and the content of the secret letter was very simple: "I heard that the water god invited his younger brother 'Baihu Dayao' to come to Guangling County to help guard the thousand-year-old ice jade fruit."
With just one sentence, the heart of the old county guard was instantly icy cold!
"The white tiger demon?"
"Water God invited his younger brother, the White Tiger Demon, to help?"
The old county guard's heart was trembling, and his hands couldn't stop shaking.
"How did this happen? How did this happen? The sky wants to cut me off, the sky wants to cut me off?" the old county guard murmured.
"Hasn't the white tiger demon been entrenched in the Heifengling area of Zhenshan County for a long time? The three thousand little demons in Heifengling listen to his orders. This white tiger demon is good at controlling the wind and can fly between the sky and the earth. Such a big demon and the water god are brothers." He was invited by him to guard the Millennium Bingyu Fruit?" Wen Chong was also a little panicked, after all, if he didn't get the Bingyu Fruit, his father might not have a good life for a few years.
"These big monsters all have cultivation methods." The old county guard said in a low voice, "Cultivation methods are naturally inherited, and it is normal to have a master and senior brothers. I thought... the water god was too much of a disaster, and there was nothing wrong with it." Don’t dare to leave the rivers and lakes too far. On Cangya Mountain, there are at most monsters. I didn’t expect him to invite the white tiger monster!”
"Could the news be fake?" Wen Chong couldn't help asking.
There are humans who take refuge in monsters.
Similarly, some little monsters have joined the human race and gained many benefits from the human race. The one who sent the secret letter this time was a monster who had taken refuge in the sheriff.
"Since everyone says it's the white tiger monster, I'm afraid it's probably true." Although the old county guard doesn't want to believe it in his heart, he is old and mature, so he naturally knows that the news is very likely to be true. If it is the exact time of ripening, it can be estimated that it can be done in about ten days and a half months, so please invite his junior brother, the white tiger demon, to help guard it for ten days and a half months."
"It's just that the thousand-year-old ice jade fruit can prolong life? He has a very long lifespan as a monster, why do he want to prolong his life?"
"Then what should we do?" Wen Chong also panicked.
"If the white tiger monster is here, there is no hope for Yi Xiao, Qin Yun and the others." The old county guard said in a low voice, "The trouble is, I am worried whether they will come back alive, especially if Yi Xiao dies in Cangya Mountain... The Shenxiaomen will not give up easily."
"I'll send someone to spread the news right away," Wen Chong said repeatedly.
The old county guard looked at the sky outside the window and sighed: "It's too late, it's almost time, from here to Cangya Mountain, then into the mountain, and then to Wuhu Canyon, it's too late, too late!"
The old sheriff closed the curtains after speaking.
"Are you still going forward?" Wen Chong asked.
"Go on, go wait at the foot of Cangya Mountain, maybe you can wait until they come out." The voice of the old county guard suddenly seemed to be much older. If the white tiger monster was there, the old county guard would not see anything that had obtained the thousand-year-old ice cream. The hope of Yuguo, the hope of prolonging life by 20 years, is it cut off
"The white tiger monster, the white tiger monster..." There were murmurs in the carriage.
Wen Chong's face darkened a little, and he immediately shouted: "Go on."
