"What!"
Mu Qingge's eyes widened in shock.
Eating just one fruit will increase your cultivation for ten thousand years? This news was so shocking that Mu Qingge couldn't help but swallow her saliva. It would be a lie to say that I am not impressed by such benefits.
Mu Qingge didn't know what the concept of increasing one's cultivation for ten thousand years was. However, she knew that Si Mo spent ten thousand years of cultivation in Linchuan Realm to reverse time.
"How can I get this charm fruit?" Mu Qingge asked in a deep voice. The first thing she thought of was to get one anyway and let Si Mo eat it, so that she could make up for the energy he consumed when using the reverse curse.
Yan Xiya smiled, "The charm fruit is the sacred fruit of the Shanmei clan. It matures once every thousand years, and only ten of them mature each time. How could such a rare thing be given to others so easily? However, the Shanmei clan knew that Huai Bi was guilty. This is why, more than 7,000 years ago, we announced to the outside world that the tree of origin would no longer bear fruit, in order to put an end to greed."
"So..." Mu Qingge asked with narrowed eyes.
Huan said: "Let's go to the Shanmei clan first. Once we get in, we'll look for opportunities to seek out the charm fruit."
"Since the mountain charm is such a special existence, it must be difficult for us to get in, right?" Mu Qingge thought.
Huan raised his eyebrows with a slightly proud expression: "Many years ago, the Shanmei clan owed me a favor, and it's time to ask for it back."
Seeing his expression, Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled meaningfully.
…
The demon forest is very large and populated by beasts.
However, with the guidance of Huan, they had a smooth journey. Except when the aura of the dragon clan passed by, they encountered almost no danger and arrived at the place where the Shanmei clan had lived for generations.
Staring at the boundless grassland in front of him, Mu Qingge suddenly felt relaxed and happy. On the top of the grass, there are still tiny crystal lights shining, and there are many small luminous insects flying around in the grass.
As far as the eye can see, a dark green line stretches out. It is a dense and mysterious forest, and behind the forest are mountains of suitable shades.
The mountain range has a very strange shape, as if a giant beast is sitting there, looking down and staring at the entire land of the Demonic Forest.
"Starting from this grassland is Shan Mei's territory. Pass through the grassland, enter the forest, and cross over. That mountain range is where Shan Mei has lived for generations." Jian introduced to Mu Qingge and Yin Chen.
"Let's go." Hu turned his head back, narrowed his eyes towards the sky, sneered, and said to the two of them.
Seeing his expression, needless to say, Mu Qingge and Yin Chen also knew that the dragon clan was chasing after Jian's aura.
Without any delay, the three of them immediately entered the grassland.
As soon as they entered the grassland, the small luminous insects flying among the grass were frightened and flew away and disappeared.
The three of them quickly crossed the grassland and arrived at the outskirts of the forest.
Without a trace of hesitation, Huan stepped in.
As soon as we entered the forest, the sky became dark.
Originally, it was still sunset and dusk outside, and the sky was not completely dark yet. But in the forest, it was as dark as night, and only the ghosts and monsters formed by the shadows of the trees could be seen.
Mu Qingge and Yin Chen subconsciously looked up, only to realize that it was so dark in the forest because the trees were so lush and the dense leaves were stacked, blocking the light outside.
"Follow me. It seems ordinary here, but in fact it is like a maze. The deeper you go, the more disoriented you become. It is easy to stay in circles in the forest and never get out. This forest, It can also be regarded as a natural barrier for the Shanmei clan." Huan warned Mu Qingge and Yin Chen.
Mu Qingge and Yin Chen knew what was going on and followed closer.
Mu Qingge asked curiously: "Have you ever been to the Shanmei Clan?"
Jian smiled and said, "Didn't I say that Shan Mei owes me a favor? The Shan Mei clan never goes out. They have extremely long lifespans. Both men and women are very handsome. They have stayed here all their lives. After so many years, There will always be one or two who get bored and are curious about the outside world. It happened that one time, a woman in the Mountain Charm escaped and was in danger. I happened to pass by, so I rescued her and escorted her all the way back. .”
"It turns out to be a story about a hero saving a beauty." Mu Qingge joked.
Yin Chen also made a rare joke, "Is it possible that the woman fell in love with Brother Jian?"
Jian looked embarrassed and said to the two of them: "Don't talk nonsense, that was tens of thousands of years ago. Now maybe she has already married and had children."
Mu Qingge was amused. She had known Jian for so long, but she had never seen him look like this.
However, before she continued to joke, the smile on her lips froze. Her eyes sharpened, her body leaned back, and she pulled Yin Chen back. When a cold light flew past her eyes, Reach out and grab.
The cold light was very powerful and extremely fast, lifting Mu Qingge's hair.
She grabbed the cold light and forced it to stop, only to realize that it was an arrow with a special shape. Before she could take a closer look, there was another cold light approaching, this time there was more than one.
Jian also dodged to avoid it, and the three of them quickly hid in the forest. As soon as they hid behind the big tree, a cold light dense as rain came.
"This is Shan Mei's arrow. We encountered Shan Mei on patrol." Huan hid sideways behind a tree and said to Mu Qingge and Yin Chen.
Mu Qingge said in a deep voice: "Don't you have a friendship with Shan Mei? Why don't you go and talk about it?"
At this time, a very pleasant and ethereal male voice appeared in the forest, "Everyone, this is the forbidden area of the Demon Forest. Intruders will die. Please retreat quickly to avoid accidental injury."
Mu Qingge gave Jian a look, and Jian understood. He shouted: "An old friend is visiting and wants to meet Miss Yin Le."
As soon as he finished speaking, those sharp cold lights finally stopped, and the entire forest seemed to become quiet.
The sudden stillness caused Mu Qingge and Jian to exchange glances secretly, guessing what the other party meant.
"Who is your Excellency?" Not long after, that nice ethereal male voice came from the forest again.
Jian glanced at Mu Qingge before replying loudly: "My name is Kong Xuan!"
Kong Xuan
Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment, and tried to recall it before remembering that this name was given to him by Huan. However, she was very criticized, so she, including the people around her, called him Uncle Jian and never called Jian by his name.
Jian added: "Miss Yin Le said she owed me a favor back then. This time I came here with a request. I don't know if this favor counts!"
The forest fell silent again.
Jian, Mu Qingge, and Yin Chen waited anxiously for a moment before anyone responded. "Please come out, we will take you into the mountain."
Hearing this response, Jian seemed to be relieved.
However, Mu Qingge still had hidden vigilance in her eyes, and silently shook her head at Huan.
Jian said to her: "The mountain charm can't lie."
After that, he walked out first. Mu Qingge had no choice but to stand out. As soon as she stepped out, the scene that greeted her eyes filled her eyes with surprise.
