Chapter 95: Open Sesame(1/2)
Qin Bing said, "In recent years, the historians of He State have traveled eastward to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and in the name of cultural exchanges, they have borrowed a large number of rare and unique books from our country.
Now that I think about it, engaging in cultural exchanges is fake, but looking for valuable ancient tombs and robbing them is real."
"Okay, everyone, let's talk about the past and the present. When we get back to Zhou Dynasty, we will have plenty of time, so hurry up and clean the battlefield to see if there is anything valuable left."
Xu Shu urged everyone to check quickly.
After a while, a bunch of resources were collected, and there were no more amazing treasures.
After everyone dealt with the resources,
Shao Run collected a bunch of wooden boxes and sent them to Xu Shu, "Brother Xu, the berries are wood in nature. After they come out of the fruit tree, if they are not stored in wooden boxes, the medicinal properties will be lost quickly."
Xu Shu quickly took out the berries from his backpack and put them into a wooden box. After a little inspection, he found that there were thirty-six berries left, plus a red berry king.
Ordinary red berries are packed into one box, but the red berry king, including the fruit and vines, is packed into a wooden box alone.
After packing up, the group continued to move forward along the winding path heading west.
The road along the way was slippery, the wind was strong and the sky was high, so Xu Shu had no choice but to use the rope method again.
"Brother Xu, you said before that Treasure Island has five floors, so which floor are we on now?"
All you can see are high mountains, so Shao Run asked this question.
Xu Shu said, "We haven't reached the core area yet. Non-core areas, no matter high or low, are all on the first floor. Look east, and that's the core area."
Everyone looked away and saw a huge stone mountain towering.
Different from the high mountain at our feet, that stone mountain has obvious traces of artificial excavation.
The entire mountain looks like a blooming lotus with distinct layers.
Many black spots are coming and going among the distinctly layered mountains.
"It's all the damned Kui Mingtang's fault for delaying us for so long. They've arrived early, and I'm afraid they'll snatch up all the good stuff."
Li Junhai stumbled and sighed.
Shao Run said, "Since one person can only take one piece, if there are too many, the source of power will be chaotic. Good things must be reserved for those who are destined."
Having said that, several people inevitably accelerated their pace.
Half an hour later, the group finally turned out of the narrow path and were waiting to find a way down the mountain.
"Silence!"
Qin Bing suddenly stopped and lowered himself.
When everyone saw this, they hid behind the trees.
Qin Bing pointed to the west, and everyone took a breath of cold air. On the cliff fifty feet away, the Shark-Tearing Ape family was gathering around a fist-sized dark green fruit.
The fruit looked like a person prostrating himself. Yan Zi whispered, "The fruit of worship is the first-order source fruit of the body path. What are these shark-ripping apes going to do?"
While he was talking, a powerful Shark-Tearing Ape grabbed the Buddha Fruit.
Everyone had witnessed the terrifying power of the Shark-Tearing Ape, but when the majestic Shark-Tearing Ape reached for the Buddha Fruit, it seemed as if there were strong obstacles around the Buddha Fruit.
Seeing that the Shark-Tearing Ape was about to touch the Buddha Worshiping Fruit, the next moment, the Shark-Tearing Ape's body suddenly swelled and its eyeballs became bloodshot.
The next moment, with a bang, the majestic shark-tearing ape exploded on the spot.
Broken meat flew and blood rained.
A wave of cold air hit everyone's hearts at the same time.
Qin Bing whispered, "The source fruit in the outside world will never be like this. It only shows that the source power of Treasure Island is too prosperous and has become a nightmare for all explorers who want to steal the source fruit and leaves."
"Look, it's started again."
Another Shark-Tearing Ape went towards the Buddha-worshipping fruit again.
With a bang, the Shark-Tearing Ape exploded again.
The group of apes let out bursts of mournful screams, and soon another shark-ripping ape emerged from the crowd.
In this way, after exploding the seven-headed Shark-Tearing Ape, the Buddha Worshiping Fruit was finally picked away. New
The tragic and tragic scene made Xu Shu feel sad and deeply moved.
Beasts are like this, how can humans be embarrassed?
Everyone kept their heads down and continued moving forward. Two hours later, Xu Shu and his party finally arrived at the core area.
Looking up, I saw that most of the main peak, which is more than 100 meters high, was covered by curling clouds and mist.
There were sounds of fighting and shouting all over the mountains and plains.
Man kills man, man kills beast, beast kills beast.
Li Junhai murmured, "I thought that because of the existence of gray fog, there must be very few creatures here, and we are the only survivors. Now it seems that it is really too naive."
"Brother Xu, what should I do?"
Shao Run was also dumbfounded.
"There is no other way but to move forward bravely."
Ten minutes later, Xu Shu chose the path up the mountain that he thought would be the least difficult.
Then, Xu Shu acted as an arrow, and the five of them formed a formation to kill on the second floor.
The path that seems to be the least intense turns out to be murderous at every step.
There were really too many sea beasts arriving. Although they did not encounter a group-based terrifying existence like the shark-tearing ape, the various ferocious sea beasts along the way still caused Xu Shu and his party to suffer a lot.
For two hours, two full hours, Xu Shu and others consumed eighteen more red berries and killed dozens of sea beasts before the stone slabs under their feet changed from cyan to white.
The five floors of Treasure Island have clear color divisions, from high to low, in order: gold, purple, black, white and blue.
After stepping onto the white stone slab, the terrain suddenly opened up. Everyone did not dare to delay and moved forward quickly.
After bypassing a collapsed bamboo forest, a large area of terraced fields appeared. Because the fields had not been taken care of, they were overgrown with weeds.
"Qingyuncao, the Qingyuncao in the second step of the Yinshi Path."
Shao Run pointed to the terraced fields and shouted excitedly.
A brown plant mixed in the weeds attracted everyone's attention.
The brown plant is shaped like a double-winged official hat.
Officials are the road to success.
Qingyuncao, hence its name.
"Who wants it?"
Xu Shu asked in a low voice.
Everyone shook their heads.
Qin Bing is a Yin recruiter at the second level of the Yin Discernment Path.
Yan Zi is a Fire Worshiper at the second level of the Fire Thief Path.
Shao Run is an Eternal Submersible at the second level of the Water Blessed Path.
Li Junhai is also a Yin recruiter at the second level of the Yin Discernment Path.
Under the premise that they can only take away one source fruit or source leaf, their target is undoubtedly the source fruit or source leaf of level three.
No one was willing to pick it, so everyone had to continue looking.
Along the way, I saw as many as seven kinds of fruits and leaves, but no one picked them because they were not suitable.
I have also seen sea beasts fighting for the source fruit. Once they have grabbed it, they devour the entrance.
When super-level source power enters the body, no matter how ferocious the sea beast is, its body is stretched to pieces.
"Let's take a rest. No matter how urgent it is, it's not urgent at this moment."
Xu Shu stopped. He could see that everyone was mentally and physically exhausted.
After all, we have gone through a lot of hardships to get here, and no one can be willing to return empty-handed.
Everyone found a stone wall and sat against it. Li Junhai took off his backpack and took out a large amount of dried meat, dried fish, and water.
These supplies are naturally provided by the top express delivery agency Wei Mingtang.
Xu Shu was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back. Although the red berries were a great supplement, they could not be eaten as food.
Before the meal was finished, a ray of morning light came out of the eastern sky, and a faint light pierced the sky. Qin Bing stood up and said, "Look, the eyes of the stone statue."
There are many stone statues scattered not far away, all in the shape of animals, rough and clumsy.
Along the way, we saw a lot of stone artifacts like this, but no one thought much of them.
At this moment, Qin Bing pointed out, and everyone stared at the stone tiger in the southeast and the stone turtle in the northwest, with their eyes flashing dark red.
"Quickly, find Shilong and Shifeng."
Qin Bing said in a low voice.
