Chapter 23 Green Flame Fruit and Bone-Faced Monkey

Xu Yang's whole body tensed up, and he instinctively grabbed the painful part of his left shoulder with his right hand. A half-inch black bee was pinched between his fingers.

The black bee was as black as ink, and there was a white skull pattern on its back. A stinger at the tail kept extending and retracting, oozing a little transparent venom. Xu Yang suddenly felt a numbness in his shoulder, and his left hand was unable to flexibly operate his magic power.

"Brother Xu, you were stung by a poisonous bee, is it okay?" Zhu Liuqing saw this and said with concern.

"It's just that my shoulder is numb, and my magic power is not running smoothly." As he said that, Xu Yang wanted to pinch the poisonous bee in his hand to death.

"Brother, wait a minute, this poisonous bee is only in this valley, and I don't know what kind of harm its toxins will cause to your body. It's better to keep it first, and when you return to the sect, you can ask the seniors in the sect for treatment methods."

"Junior sister Zhu is still thoughtful."

Zhu Liuqing took out a talisman specially used to bind poisonous insects and pasted it on the poisonous bee. The talisman turned into a golden thread and tightly wrapped the poisonous bee. Then he took out a small jade box and put the incapacitated poisonous bee into the box.

"Why don't we find a safe place? You can use your power to remove the poison from your shoulder first, and then you can leave."

The two chose a flat and spacious place nearby. Xu Yang sat cross-legged and meditated, using his power to force the poison out, while Zhu Liuqing guarded him.

This bee venom was quite difficult to deal with, and it took half an hour to force the poison out of the body. Xu Yang stood up, moved his left shoulder, and stretched out his left hand. A flame appeared on the tip of his left index finger.

"It's okay now, let's go ahead as planned." Xu Yang said with a smile.

Seeing that Xu Yang was fine, Zhu Liuqing's originally nervous face showed a smile.

"This poisonous bee is not afraid of fire. Although its toxicity is only paralyzing, it takes effect quickly and cannot be easily removed. If this black bee can be tamed and used as a spiritual pet in fighting, it will definitely be a good helper." Xu Yang said.

"Brother Xu, are you interested in taming this insect?"

"I only heard people talk about spirit insects before. I came across this bee today and thought of taming it."

"As far as I know, the taming of spirit insects is no different from that of other spirit beasts. Although spirit insects often have their own unique talents, their initial intelligence is very low, and it is very difficult to tame them to use them freely. Therefore, most cultivators choose to tame spirit beasts with higher initial intelligence as spirit pets. Only some cultivators with special talents and blood secrets can tame spirit insects into spirit pets. Even if they have the ability to tame, it is rare. Once a spirit insect is tamed into a spirit pet, its power is greater than that of an ordinary spirit beast. ”

“Junior sister is very knowledgeable, which is admirable.”

“The Zhu family was originally a cultivation family, so they naturally came into contact with many related classics. Senior brother is a secular child, and in just a short period of time after entering the cultivation path, his cultivation has reached the second level of the spiritual realm, which is admirable.”

“Speaking of which, I have to thank Junior sister. I used the blood jade unicorn to reach my current level. I have been hiding in the room for most of the time since I entered the sect. It seems that I need to go out for more experience. This time, I came out to the trial with Junior sister Zhu and gained a lot. ”

The two walked and talked until they came to a valley.

“Senior brother, look. There is a large area of ​​spiritual fruit trees under the mist in the valley in the distance. According to the mark on the map, it should be the blue flame fruit.” Zhu Liuqing pointed to a forest in front of the two.

After the lesson of being chased by black bees when picking tricolor flowers last time, the two were more cautious this time.

Xu Yang's face darkened, and he said, "Wait a minute, Junior Sister, I feel the chaotic spiritual power fluctuations ahead, most likely there is a fight."

"I also vaguely feel the spiritual power fluctuations ahead, maybe my fellow disciples have arrived first, why not take a closer look and then make a decision?"

"That's fine."

The two hid their bodies and approached the spiritual fruit forest carefully. Hiding far behind a big rock, he poked his head out and was shocked.

I saw a red flame tiger in an open space thirty meters ahead. The tiger was more than two feet long and its head was the size of a millstone. The red hair all over its body exuded a curl of light red spiritual flames. A pair of black crystal-like tiger eyes stared at a group of ghost monkeys opposite.

There were as many as thirty or forty ghost monkeys on the opposite side, and each monkey had a piece of white bone exposed on its cheek. The black hair and the white bone on the cheek formed a sharp contrast, and the ghostly aura was spooky.

The flame tiger bared its teeth and claws in protest, and the bone-faced monkey on the opposite side was not to be outdone, with its hair standing up and its pressure leaking out.

At this moment, the flame tiger opened its bloody mouth, and a large fireball sprayed out, sweeping across the ground and exploding towards the monkey group. The huge spiritual pressure bombarded the ground with a rumbling sound, and the soil rolled and burned wherever it passed.

"It seems that the cultivation level of this flame tiger is probably equivalent to that of a cultivator in the Void Realm." Xu Yang, who was hiding behind a large rock in the distance, whispered to Zhu Liuqing.

Zhu Liuqing nodded gently, watching the fierce fight in front of him intently.

Among the monkeys on the opposite side, one monkey was obviously larger than the others, and seemed to be the leader of the monkey group. He let out a piercing scream, and a palm-sized green fireball sprayed out from his mouth. Then, the other monkeys sprayed green fireballs from their mouths. In an instant, dozens of green fireballs poured down like a meteor shower.

Most of the green fireballs collided with the large fireballs sprayed by the flame tiger. As the two of them collided, blue and red sparks flew everywhere, and the sound of rumbling continued. Huge circles of spiritual pressure burst out from the collision point in all directions, raising large amounts of flying sand.

The big fireball was very powerful and obviously more powerful, but there were many small cyan fireballs. After the collision, the size and power of the big fireballs were obviously consumed a lot, and most of the small cyan fireballs were also lost.

The flame tiger's tail, which was more than ten feet long, swept back and forth in mid-air like a steel whip, and the small green fireballs that were close to it were beaten to pieces. Occasionally, one of them fell on it and exploded. The huge tiger body only vibrated, but it seemed to be fine.

"Ouch——". The flame tiger let out a roar in the sky, and the roar of the tiger made the earth buzz. Even greater spiritual pressure burst out from the tiger's body. The flame tiger jumped up and rushed into the monkey group in two or three times, either hitting with its front paws or biting with its sharp teeth.

Surprisingly, the monkey group was not disrupted by the attacking flame tiger. This group of bone-faced monkeys not only have extremely flexible movements, but their overall coordination is also very coordinated. Some of the monkeys kept bombarding the flame tiger with cyan flame balls from a distance. Other monkeys screamed and bluffed in front of the flame tiger, and nimbly avoided the flame tiger's blows and bites.

For a moment, the green fireball crackled and bombarded the huge tiger body. Although it could not seriously damage the flame tiger, the action of the flame tiger was obviously affected.

The tiger's body was shaken by the beating, and the accuracy of its bite was obviously affected. For a moment, the Flame Tiger didn't catch a single monkey.

The furious Flame Tiger let out a thunderous roar, and its pressure surged, but it was unable to do anything to the group of bone-faced monkeys. After the two sides were in a stalemate for half a cup of tea, the Flame Tiger seemed to be losing strength. His movements were obviously not as agile as before, and the spiritual pressure he released gradually weakened.

At this moment, the bone-faced monkey leader jumped up like lightning and landed on the neck of the flame tiger. Revealing two canine teeth as sharp as knives, he bit into the weak spot on the Flame Tiger's neck, causing blood to flow profusely.

Under the severe pain, the Flame Tiger lowered its head and swung violently. The monkey leader who was originally riding on the tiger's neck shrunk, jumped up in the air, Gululu turned a series of somersaults backwards, landed firmly on the ground, and then let out a cry. A sharp roar. The other monkeys took the opportunity to launch green flame bombs and accurately attack around the Flame Tiger's neck.

The exploding cyan flame ball set off a large amount of cyan mist. The flame tiger's body swayed left and right in the blue mist, and its pair of black crystal-like tiger eyes had long lost their initial sharpness. The Flame Tiger opened its big mouth and spit out three red fireballs, exploding a passage among the monkeys. He shrunk, jumped violently, jumped out of the monkey group three or two times, and ran away.

The monkey leader let out a low whine, and the other bone-faced monkeys also made the same whine, which seemed to be a cheer of victory.

Next, the monkey group did not continue to chase the flame tiger. Instead, under the leadership of the monkey leader, they returned to the orchard in groups. Not long after, they disappeared among the dense forest leaves and hid their traces.

"What an exciting showdown. Senior Brother Xu, what would happen if the tiger just replaced you and me?" Zhu Liuqing said.

"The strength of this group of monkeys is probably similar to that of human monks entering the first and second levels of the spiritual realm. Although they do not have magic weapons to help them, they are large in number and have a tacit understanding of attack coordination. With the current strength of you and me, I am afraid that we can kill all of them." If you retreat, you will be lucky," Xu Yang replied.

Zhu Liuqing nodded and said: "The flaming fireballs spit out by these bone monkeys are very similar to the spiritual power contained in flaming fruits. There are probably flaming fruits in the fruit forest ahead."

"Our planned route passes through this fruit forest. If we take a detour, it will delay us for a day, and the group of monkeys in front of us will be very difficult to deal with." After saying this, Zhu Liuqing looked troubled.

Xu Yang pondered for a while and replied: "I have seen this flaming fruit in the sect's books. This fruit only matures once every three years. In addition to refining ghost elixirs, it is also very useful for ghost pets. Benefit. Most of the Flame Tigers who just came here are here for the Qingyan Fruit. Although the tiger was defeated, it was not seriously damaged. It is estimated that you and I will not give up the Qingyan Fruit easily. It’s not too late to make some adjustments nearby, adjust the situation to the best, and then observe the development of the situation before making any plans.”

"Just follow senior brother's advice." After saying that, Zhu Liuqing nodded.
