Chapter 461: Spiritual Fruit Tree
After a while, the Golden Core Spiritual Liquid was completely absorbed by the mantis.
The mantis burst out golden light again, which lasted for dozens of seconds.
After the golden light dissipated, the golden light pattern on the mantis became more solid, unlike the previous feeling of being there and not there.
And the light pattern became more complex, and it seemed a bit messy.
But there is no doubt that the mantis's carapace became stronger, and Luo Zhen also felt that their defense was significantly strengthened.
However, because each mantis absorbed different amounts of spiritual liquid, the defense strength was also improved differently.
Among them, the two mantis leaders, one male and one female, had the most amazing defense, and there was also a layer of golden shell covering their outer shells.
Although the golden shell did not look clear, it could not be found if you did not look carefully. But I am afraid that their defense is the strongest among the mantises Luo Zhen has now.
Not only was Luo Zhen extremely satisfied, the mantis also flew up and down to Luo Zhen, cheering and jumping for joy, obviously very satisfied with the benefits brought by the Golden Core Spiritual Liquid.
The three continued forward and looted a lot of useful spiritual medicines.
Under the agreement of the three, the spiritual medicines were reasonably distributed to everyone.
"Why is this ant king so poor? Just this little thing?" Luo Zhen looked at the spiritual medicine in his hand, which was not very valuable, and said dissatisfiedly.
Qijie and Bai Susu both rolled their eyes at Luo Zhen.
You have collected such a good thing as the Golden Core Spiritual Liquid, what else do you want?
Do you know how valuable this Golden Core Spiritual Liquid is? The two thought helplessly in their hearts and sighed at the same time.
Luo Zhen also noticed the eyes of the two people, and seemed to understand something. He touched his nose, looked at the top of his head, and whispered: "Isn't that what the mantis drank? I didn't drink it myself."
Luo Zhen looked innocent, as if he was really the one who got the least.
"It seems that this Golden Core Spiritual Liquid is the biggest treasure of the horn ants. There should be nothing good here." Qijie walked around and said slowly.
"Well, let's continue to move forward to other places." Luo Zhen said.
Then the three left the ant nest and walked forward.
Before leaving, they found some small insects entering the ant nest. It is estimated that the horn ant babies are in danger.
The three did not pay attention to it. After all, this is the nature of this world, the strong prey on the weak.
And Luo Zhen and others are not saints, of course they will not save those horn ant babies for no reason.
According to Qijie's direction, the three traveled another 300 miles, but found that there was something unusual at the lake in front.
"Brother Qijie, there seems to be something ahead, let's go and see." Luo Zhen said.
"Well, let's observe the situation for a while." Qijie agreed and replied.
There was no place to hide by the lake, so the three had to lie on a hillside.
Then Qijie used the spiritual medicine powder and sprinkled it on his body to cover up the breath of the three.
There was a team of about 20 people by the lake.
Among them, there was an emperor in the eighth level, three emperors in the sixth level, and a master in the fourth level.
The realms of the rest of the people also ranged from the seventh level to the ninth level of the Venerable.
This is a very powerful team.
However, this is obviously not an explorer like Luo Zhen and others, because when he first entered the Demon Valley, he had never seen this group of people in front of him.
So Luo Zhen thought that this team should be the local force of the fourth layer.
A giant tree as high as 100 meters is like a sleeping dragon, entrenched on the small island in the middle of the lake, emitting strange pink mist from time to time.
If you look closely, you can also find a red fruit on the top of the tree, about the size of a palm, and there is only one in the whole tree.
"This is the Soul Tree! Soul Fruit!" Luo Zhen was suddenly surprised when he saw the fruit tree. "Finally I met it."
Luo Zhen was overjoyed. Qijie told him before that the Soul Fruit grew on the fourth layer, so Luo Zhen paid close attention to the surrounding situation along the way.
As a result, after walking hundreds of miles, he didn't even see the peel of the Soul Fruit, so Luo Zhen was naturally a little disappointed.
When he asked Qijie, he only said that it was on the fourth layer, and he was not sure where it was exactly.
This reminded Luo Zhen of the "Murphy's Law" in his previous life: sometimes the more you think about something, the less it will come.
Thinking of this, Luo Zhen whispered: "Murphy, Murphy, you still won't let me go even though I've already run to the cultivation world."
Bai Su Su naturally didn't know who Murphy was, and blinked her big eyes and asked: "Who is Murphy? Is he your enemy?"
"Uh, no. I just said it casually, don't mind it." Luo Zhen didn't know what to say, he couldn't say that I came from across time, right?
"Daoyou Luo, I'm afraid it won't be that easy for you to get this soul fruit." Qi Jie kept looking ahead, and then spoke to remind him.
Luo Zhen followed Qi Jie's gaze and found that there was a huge, five-meter-long, black monster standing on the branch of the fruit tree.
The oppressive momentum brought by its huge body was felt even by Luo Zhen and others in the distance.
The monster had a horse body and a tiger head, and two sickle-like sharp teeth were very prominent, a bit like a saber-toothed tiger.
The two eyes glowed with black light, staring sharply at the team in front of him.
"Guardian monster? Or the ninth heaven of the emperor realm?" Luo Zhen said in surprise.
He knew about the guardian beast, but it turned out to be the ninth level of the Emperor Realm?
Luo Zhen, who had just finished a battle with the ninth level of the Emperor Realm, had a deep understanding of the terrifying nature of the ninth level of the Emperor Realm. It was better not to provoke him unless it was absolutely necessary.
"But he seems injured, right?" Luo Zhen looked at it for a while and found a scar on the back of the monster, which was still bleeding.
"It seems that this team is not the first wave of people. They should also be preparing to take the soul fruit, but they are confronting the guardian monster." Luo Zhen said.
As soon as the voice fell, Luo Zhen and others heard the strong man of the eighth level of the emperor realm in the distance say:
"The people of the venerable realm are in the battle, and all the emperor realms follow me to kill this beast and seize the soul fruit. If you succeed, you will be rewarded when you return!"
"Yes!"
Others raised their weapons and were eager to fight!
To seize the soul fruit, you can only kill the guardian monster.
Otherwise, if you only take the fruit and don't kill the monster, the monster will remember the appearance of the thief and will chase the person who takes the soul fruit, so that he will never have peace.
In order to avoid trouble, most people will kill the guardian monster.
Because they first seize the fruit and then are attacked by the monster during the refining process, many people die with hatred.
Some people even didn't kill the monsters, but took the fruit, and were eventually chased by the monsters to the ends of the earth, spending their eternity on the run.
The eighth-level emperor in front of him had obviously set up a formation, ready to kill the monsters and take the fruit.
"Go!" The eighth-level emperor shouted, holding a long sword on each side and rushed towards the monster, and the rest of the emperors followed closely, wielding all kinds of weapons.
The monster also roared, and the king-like power resounded through the world, and even Luo Zhen and others were shocked by a brief tinnitus.
The guardian monster jumped off the soul tree, and just as it landed on the ground, it was trapped by the formation formed by the Venerable Realm powerhouse.
A stream of white gas seemed to condense into a physical object, emerging from the ground, wrapping the legs of the monster, restricting his movement.
