Chapter 555 Golden Scale Fruit!

Chapter 555 Golden Scale Fruit!

In the field of vision, the Bibo Lake, which was dozens of miles away, gradually shrank, and finally disappeared without a trace, and no trace of it could be seen anymore.

Ahead, the majestic and undulating spiritual mountains gradually become taller and clearer.

Liu Yu and others continued to move towards the next difficulty.

The route set by the alliance is not an absolute straight line. Sometimes it will take a drastic turn to confuse the demon cultivator.

In this way, even if clues are discovered, it can be delayed for a while, and the intention will not be easily seen through.

…

Mud, filth, poisonous weeds

Three days later, Liu Yu and the others came to a swamp area, which was the "Red Blood Swamp".

As far as the eye can see, there are black swamps, with patches of poisonous weeds growing in many places.

If you accidentally fall into it, you will be mercilessly swallowed by the black sludge!

The reason why the Red Blood Swamp is called the Red Blood Swamp is not because the swamp is red, but because of the "Red Blood Crocodile" race of monsters that live in it.

This kind of demon crocodile has scarlet pupils, just like human blood, and can spit venom, so it is called the "red blood crocodile" by cultivators.

The five people were suspended in the air, not entering the swamp area rashly, but preparing to observe first.

With a sweep of his consciousness, Liu Yu discovered that the swamp was extremely wide, and with the range of his consciousness, he could not even detect the boundary.

God knows how many third-level demon cultivators are hidden among them.

The specific information given by the alliance is the most detailed in the first three levels, but the number of people who have passed is also not large.

The number of people who passed through Tianying Ridge reached double digits, while those who passed through Bibotan only had single digits left.

As for those who can pass through the red blood swamp, only three of the five sects combined can get the information.

However, there are also previous explorations, which were mostly conducted privately by various major sects and were not systematic.

After all, for any sect, losing several golden elixir monks in a row can be regarded as a serious injury.

Moreover, the only three people who passed the test were of far different ages, so the information is more likely to change and may not be accurate.

Therefore, the understanding of the Red Blood Swamp is the least among the first three levels.

All I know is that this swamp covers an area of ​​about two hundred miles, and there are four or five third-level demon cultivators living in it.

As for the first- and second-order red-blooded crocodile groups, there are hundreds of them.

Not far from the Red Blood Swamp, the five people were watching and communicating.

Through the information from the five sects, Liu Yu learned that the area to the left of the Red Blood Swamp was called "Blackwater Lake", and the demon cultivator living in it was unknown.

The monks who successfully passed through this area all chose the Red Blood Swamp as their breakthrough point.

And those who don't succeed will naturally be buried in the mouth of the monster, and no message can be sent back.

As for the area on the right, there is no clear record in the information provided by the alliance, and they have no idea what kind of demon cultivator's territory it is.

The five people watched from a distance and saw only a forest with towering ancient trees. There seemed to be a fatal crisis hidden in the dark and dense forest.

Compared to the unknown monsters on the left and right sides, the Red Blood Swamp area is undoubtedly safer, and there are successful experiences to draw from.

As for the unknown demon cultivator, his habits are not known at all, and he does not know whether he is more or less. Whether he is strong or not is also a question mark.

In contrast, it is safest to follow a path that has already had successful experience.

"how?"

After some exchanges, Liu Yu glanced at everyone and asked in a deep voice.

It has been several months since they entered the Hengduan Mountains, and everyone looks a little dusty, no longer the "Jindan Zhenren" they once were.

However, the sparkle in his eyes has not weakened much.

"According to the information, except for the Red Blood Crocodile group, all the slightly higher level monsters in the Red Blood Swamp area have been hunted down."

"As for ordinary first-level monsters, a few third-level monster crocodiles don't like them, so they go out hunting every once in a while."

"The old Taoist thinks that it would be best if we wait and pass secretly at that time."

Canglou Old Taoist said first.

This strategy can only be said to be based on the wisdom of the predecessors. The three people who passed the test all used this method.

"This is a good idea."

Zhuo Mengzhen nodded in agreement, Mu Yuyan had no objection, and Gao Jianhan didn't say a word.

Liu Yu thought for a while and nodded slightly.

Although it is simple, it is easy to use. It is indeed a simple and practical method.

According to the information collected by Wu Zong and his own observations, the entire Red Blood Swamp area is about two to three hundred miles away.

Just like the situation in Bibotan, Liu Yu saw almost no trace of the second-order monster in his cursory observation.

This also means that if several third-order demon crocodiles want to eat, they must temporarily leave this area.

But on the left and right sides are the territories of other monsters. According to the territorial awareness of monsters, generally they will not enter the territories of other monsters unless they are determined to "redivide the territory."

In this way, these demon cultivators can only hunt in the direction where Liu Yu and the five came.

After the five people lowered their escape speed, the average speed was about 1,300 miles per hour.

The straight-line distance traveled in three days and three nights was almost as close as one and a half continents to Chu State.

In such a vast land, there are countless groups of monsters and beasts living there. Even if they are a bit brutal and rough when hunting, there is no need to worry about insufficient food rations.

After all, the base numbers of low-level monsters are there, making it easy to maintain balance.

Even the number of second-level monsters is still on the rise.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be that much cannon fodder to launch the beast tide offensive.

However, the location of the territory of the third-level demon cultivator seems to have been deliberately arranged, just right leading to the depths of the Hengduan Mountains.

Viewed from a high altitude, it appears to be an irregular straight line.

The gaps between territories are extremely small, and there is almost no room for "taking advantage of the loopholes". It is more likely to be attacked from two sides.

Moreover, there are such blockade lines every long distance, and the traces of the arrangement are very obvious.

Therefore, the monks sent by the Seven Nations Alliance and the good and evil factions could only find ways to find breakthroughs and break through the blockades.

The five people reached a consensus and dispersed in the forest, observing the red blood swamp from all angles, waiting for the time to take action.

…

"Compared to the four ice dragons, this red-blooded crocodile seems to be more "hungry-resistant".

Looking in the direction of the Red Blood Swamp and scanning the low-level Red Blood Crocodiles, Liu Yu flashed this idea.

At this time, thirty-five days had passed since the five people had agreed on a strategy.

This means that for thirty-five days or more, several third-level red-blooded crocodiles have not gone out once.

Although after reaching the third level, demon cultivators, like monks, can directly absorb spiritual energy to maintain their physical bodies.

However, due to the habits of monsters, it is generally difficult to refuse blood food.

Moreover, for monsters, blood food is like a panacea for immortal cultivators, which can speed up the improvement of cultivation. Few monster cultivators can resist the temptation of blood food.

The first and second level red-blooded crocodiles are not much different from ordinary demon crocodiles except for their scarlet pupils.

They all have a thick skin like black ink stone, which can provide good defense.

The big mouth opens at full strength, almost exceeding 180 degrees, and the bite force is amazing.

Although its limbs are short, they are enough to support the body without looking bulky.

Those sharp claws are hard and sharp, comparable to magic weapons and spiritual weapons.

After waiting for more than a month, Liu Yu still had enough patience.

Patience is an indispensable quality for a mature and excellent hunter.

Just as he was thinking, several third-level spiritual pressure suddenly emerged from the depths of the swamp.

Unlike the majesty and nobility of the innate ice dragon, Liu Yu only felt cruelty and bloodthirsty from these sudden auras.

Obviously, compared to the ice dragon, there is not only a difference in bloodline, but also a big difference in rationality and wisdom.

However, being able to be placed on the blockade is already an elite among thousands of monsters, and their bloodline has also reached the level of spirit monsters.

"Have you finally lost your temper and want to go hunting?"

Liu Yu's heart moved.

At this time, Mu Yunyan's spiritual message just came through, and he immediately nodded slightly to indicate that he knew, and the expressions of the five people instantly became extremely solemn.

At the same time, Liu Yu secretly gathered his consciousness and spread it forward as secretly as possible.

Just a few breaths later, four red-blooded crocodiles with a size exceeding ten feet, pupils as scarlet as blood, black scales, and ferocious looks appeared within the range of the consciousness.

Third level demon cultivator!

The cultivation levels of the four third-order demon crocodiles vary from high to low. The highest one is in the late third-order, the lowest one is in the middle third-order, and two of them are in the middle third-order.

Wherever the ten-foot-long demon crocodile was, an aura of coercion and cruelty and bloodthirsty spread. The weak demon beast directly ducked into the mud to avoid it, appearing extremely skillful.

The first- and second-order red-blooded crocodiles shook their tails and lowered their heads to show their submission.

The spiritual pressure and aura appeared and disappeared. Four red-blooded crocodiles with a body length of more than ten feet flew away in the direction where the five people came from, and disappeared for a long time.

This made the few people who were observing secretly sweat.

Thanks to Mu Yunyan's spiritual warning and Zhuo Mengzhen's "Qinghunsha" magical weapon, he was able to stay far away from the third-level demon cultivators he met on the way and not be discovered by them.

"Without further ado, I'll set off right away."

After estimating the scope of his demon consciousness, Liu Yu decided to speak decisively.

According to the data, the hunting time of the red-blooded crocodile is slightly longer than that of the ice dragon, reaching two and a half hours.

Maybe it's because he's greedy.

"That's how it should be."

Having figured out the situation, no one hesitated.

With the experience of breaking through the blockade twice before, several people have now established a certain degree of confidence, and their acting style is more decisive.

After the words fell, using the magic weapon "Qinghunsha" to cover them, the five people rose into the air at the same time and officially entered the swamp.

Mu Yunyan, who has the strongest spiritual consciousness, is responsible for observing the situation ahead.

Liu Yu, Canglou Laodao, and Gao Jianhan were responsible for observing the situation behind and on the left and right.

As for Zhuo Mengzhen, he always mobilizes the magic weapon concealment team, and the division of labor between the five people is very clear.

"Uh~"

As soon as he entered the swamp, a foul smell penetrated his nose, and Liu Yu suddenly frowned.

This stench was mixed with the smell of rotting corpses, the excrement of various monsters, and the smell of the mud itself.

Just like stockings that have not been washed for a year, no matter what color they are, they will turn into "black stockings" and smell extremely bad.

But for some "heavy flavors", it's just right.

The heavy stench is mixed together, and ordinary mortals are afraid of falling down after taking one whiff.

But for the Golden elixir cultivator, it was just a little uncomfortable and had no impact on him.

Liu Yu held his breath, and the unpleasant smell disappeared immediately. With his current physique, it would not be a problem to hold his breath for several days.

His eyes swept across the swamp, and everything he saw was dirty mud, as well as various monsters that were ugly to a monk.

However, the five people's movements were not slow. They flew along the edge of the swamp. Without all the low-level monsters noticing, it took only half a quarter of an hour to pass through the center.

"Huh~"

Seeing that nothing had happened and the trip should go smoothly, Zhuo Mengzhen let out a sigh of relief.

But just in this breath, she felt a strange fragrance from the unpleasant stench.

Judging from Zhuo Mengzhen's years of experience in cultivation, it must be an extremely high-level spiritual herb and elixir that can emit such a strange fragrance, at least the third level or above.

"High-level elixir!"

After flashing this thought, the woman instinctively let go of her consciousness and swept towards the center of the swamp where the strange smell came from.

In an instant, she saw an ancient tree about five feet high with many branches.

The ancient branches of this tree are all pale gold in color, with a faint hint of green.

And the countless leaves have a pure pale golden color, reflecting the shimmering light under the brilliance, just like worldly precious gold.

But what Zhuo Mengzhen cares about the most are the three tangerine-sized fruits on the branches, with skin like fish scales and a light golden color throughout.

Golden scale fruit!

The moment he saw this result, Zhuo Mengzhen's heart was filled with excitement, and his breath could not help but fluctuate.

According to the level of spiritual objects, this fruit is as high as the third level of the best.

Golden elixir cultivators only need to take one pill and perform a certain amount of tempering within a period of time, and the physical strength will be immediately improved, quickly reaching the minimum requirements for condensing the Nascent Soul.

It saves countless body tempering efforts and has more time to prepare for the condensation of the Nascent Soul. It can be called the "holy medicine of body refining" in the golden elixir realm.

However, body tempering is only one of the functions of the golden scale fruit, and it is not the most important one.

What excites the golden elixir monks the most is the effect that this fruit can make the monks' bodies continue to rejuvenate.

Although it cannot prolong life, it can postpone the golden time for the golden elixir monk to condense the Nascent Soul by another hundred years.

Let’s borrow another hundred years from heaven!

The nature of gold is immortal, and a monk's golden elixir is closely related to his energy and spirit.

After condensation, it can effectively reduce the passage of the three, so that while longevity is greatly increased, the golden time can also be maintained longer.

Based on the average lifespan of 650 years, the prime time to condense the Nascent Soul is before the age of 500. After the age of 500, the physical essence will slowly weaken, causing the chance of condensing the Nascent Soul to slowly decrease.

Although five hundred years of golden time is already unimaginable to ordinary mortals.

But compared to the huge mana cultivation that needs to be accumulated in the Golden Core realm, it is still not enough.

Those who are determined to conquer the Nascent Soul only regret that time is not enough and time is not forgiving!

The golden scale fruit can rejuvenate the physical body, extend the "golden time" for a hundred years, and borrow another hundred years from heaven!

This third-level rare spiritual fruit is the spiritual object that many golden elixir monks dream of, and its value is difficult to measure with spiritual stones.

For some people who are determined to break through the bottleneck of Yuan Ying, its value is even greater than that of the "Three Treasures of Yuan Ying".

"not good!"

Liu Yu's expression changed slightly, and he instantly noticed Zhuo Mengzhen's abnormal situation and his chaotic aura fluctuations.

I was a little worried that this fluctuation would be noticed by the demon cultivator.
