Chapter 12 12 Wisdom Fruit on the Wisdom Tree
Chapter 12 12. Wisdom Fruit on the Tree of Wisdom
"Old Wei, do you think so?"
Wei Shutong ignored Zhao Jie's words, but after taking a deep look at Xia Feng, he said expressionlessly: "That's it, let's get started."
Although he was very dissatisfied with Xia Feng, there was no turning back now and he could only pray that this reckless boy could get out of the Evil Dragon Forest alive.
"The rules are very simple. The Evil Dragon Forest is divided into light disaster areas and severe disaster areas. The deeper you go, the faster it will be eroded by the evil forces.
If you don't leave in time, the consequences will be loss of sanity and death, or even turning into an evil slave.
There is a tree at the junction of the light disaster area and the heavy disaster area, called the wisdom tree. After eating the wisdom fruit of the wisdom tree, you can effectively restore your sanity and resist the erosion of disaster. "
Zhao Jie slowly explained the rules, "It should be noted that whenever a tree of wisdom appears, a tree of life will inevitably appear around it. Your ultimate goal is to pick the life fruit from the tree of life! Whoever can successfully bring back the life fruit will be considered win."
At the end, Zhao Jie grinned and said, "In addition, this competition is not limited to time, means, or life and death!"
Xia Feng was not surprised by Zhao Jie's last words. After all, this was the social ethos of Liuwei Society. In order to achieve the goal, any means would be used. Zhao Jie was a firm supporter of the winner-take-all.
Because of this, Qi Xiao killed several of his fellow disciples, and Zhao Jie didn't pay much attention to them.
And if Xia Feng had not been a student of Weiyang College, he would have been plotted to death by Qi Xiao early, instead of using the method of saving the country through marriage to eliminate his qualifications.
"Okay, come with me after you're all mentally prepared."
After Zhao Jie showed his token, Xia Feng and Qi Xiao followed Zhao Jie into the city gate corridor.
At first he felt nothing, but as he went deeper and deeper, Xia Feng suddenly felt his heart tightening.
"Dong dong - dong dong -"
His heart beat obviously faster. This was the excitement and desire after sensing the delicious food. Xia Feng swallowed and smelled the wonderful smell, which was——
The smell of evil!
"Is this Erli?" Qi Xiao was walking in front, his face turned pale. He suddenly stopped and supported the wall, panting.
Zhao Jie, who was at the front, stopped when he saw this, turned around and said: "When evil forces gather, a evil force field will be formed. The Evil Dragon Forest is currently the largest evil force field except the evil world. The first time you enter, you will feel chest tightness and shortness of breath." , it will take a while to get used to it.”
As he said that, he looked at Xia Feng at the back with some confusion.
Xia Feng was stunned for a moment, and quickly supported the wall and gasped, "Oh, I feel so uncomfortable."
Zhao Jie lowered his head and looked at his watch: "I'll give you a minute to adapt. We can't stay in the corridor for too long."
After Qi Xiao heard this, he quickly closed his eyes and began to adapt to the force field.
Xia Feng followed suit, closing his eyes and trying hard to suppress his heart that was beating too fast. He was dying. He probably lacked the force, so he sensed such a huge force field and had a stress reaction.
It's like a dying man who has been thirsty for three days and three nights in the desert. When he sees a bottle of mineral water, he has to go crazy and grab it.
He squinted his eyes, Qi Xiao was still closing his eyes to adapt, Xia Feng had never thought that one minute could be so long.
"Young man, if you regret it, you still have a chance to go back now." Zhao Jie glanced at Xia Feng lightly and said suddenly.
Xia Feng raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Jie, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao, my sword is already hungry and thirsty, can you please stop talking nonsense?
Seeing Xia Feng's resolute eyes, not flinching at all and even a little eager, Zhao Jie nodded.
"Let's go, the exit is ahead."
After walking a few steps, a faint blood-red light appeared in front of him. After a burst of glare, Xia Feng squinted his eyes. A large dark and dense forest came into view, and a strangely curved blood moon hung on the horizon, like The terrifying eyes of the devil gazed at this world in a playful manner.
It gives people a great sense of oppression.
"Don't look at the blood moon for too long, it will only speed up the erosion of the evil force and the loss of sanity." Zhao Jie said quietly from the side.
Qi Xiao's pupils shrank and he quickly lowered his head and looked away.
Xia Feng's pupils shrank, and he quickly opened his eyes wide and looked at the blood moon in the sky.
He seemed to see a beautiful fairy winking at him in a very provocative manner, which directly burned him up with adrenaline!
Pleasure, so much pleasure. But he just looked at it a little longer, then lowered his head and pretended to be scared.
"If you cross this line, even if you actually enter the Evil Dragon Forest, the game will officially begin."
Zhao Jie pointed to the red line ahead and said indifferently, "I will wait for you here. Whoever brings the life fruit to the red line first will win."
"Okay, let's all go in."
As soon as Zhao Jie finished speaking, Qi Xiao felt a gust of wind passing by him, and Xia Feng disappeared into the forest without a trace.
"Ha~" Qi Xiao sneered disdainfully, stepped forward, and followed leisurely.
He is not in a hurry at all. After all, as he goes deeper into the forest, the concentration of evil force around him will rise sharply, and his sanity will also decrease rapidly. And there is a high probability that Xia Feng will not be able to learn the C-level spiritual clothing - "Filter" that can only be learned in the fourth year. E'.
"Effect filtering" can help the spiritual master greatly reduce the concentration of evil force that invades the body surface, so as to achieve the purpose of surviving in the evil force field for a long time.
Therefore, Qi Xiao, who is proficient in "filtering evil spirits", is not in a hurry at all. After all, although this is the light disaster area at the outermost edge of the Evil Dragon Forest, for low-level spiritual masters like them, the concentration of evil power is still fatal, and there is no way to wait for it. It won't be long.
Because of this, Qi Xiao was very sure that the whimsical Junior Brother Xia would become slower and slower as he got to the back, and he might not even be able to reach his destination.
By then, he, who had much more spiritual pressure than Xia Feng, could easily surpass him.
Therefore, his current strategy was to first take the fruit of wisdom, eat it to ensure his safety, then quickly find the fruit of life, and finally kill Xia Feng and end the game easily.

"Delicious, exquisite, delicious!"
The black-haired young man, wearing a vertical collar windbreaker, stood on a branch. He opened his arms and looked up at the moon, muttering something in his mouth, looking like a perverted cult leader.
After going deep into the forest, he did not go to the destination immediately, but secretly found a remote place to test the ability of the evil demon heart.
He stretched out his hand and pinched it, and the empty air seemed to be extremely compressed, precipitating a light gray mist flow and a large pool of blood-red mist.
The gray mist flashed a faint golden light under the light, exuding a sweet fragrance. Xia Feng sniffed it, like vanilla ice cream, sweet and cool, refreshing to the heart.
He sniffed the blood-red mist, and the stench almost made him tremble. He quickly threw it aside.
"Zizi--"
The blood-red mist hit the bush, and the bush withered quickly.
But the next moment it began to grow wildly, but the leaves turned blood red, and then a few enchanting flowers appeared. Ten eyes suddenly opened from the center of the flower, and turned to look at Xia Feng, with malicious eyes.
"." Xia Feng was silent for half a second, and chopped it several times with his backhand, "What are you looking at!"
The new flower bush: "."
According to the knowledge learned in the textbook, the evil power is composed of "blood beast impurities" and "evil spirit liquid".
And this blood-red mist should be "blood beast impurities", which can cause organic organisms to mutate, which cannot be absorbed by the evil demon heart.
As for the gray mist with a vanilla-flavored and cold breath, it is "evil spirit liquid", which can be absorbed by the evil demon heart.
The concentration of evil spirits that people often talk about is not the proportion of evil spirits in the air, but the proportion of evil spirit liquid in the evil spirits.
So in essence, the evil demon heart relies on absorbing the "evil spirit liquid" in the evil spirits to repair the heart and enhance its activity.
And the wisp of gray fog just now gave him a full 30 seconds of life.
Damn, it's a drop in the bucket.
The heart was still beating violently, as if it was dissatisfied with the evil spirit liquid that was not enough to fill the gap between the teeth. Xia Feng thought about it and looked up at the depths of the dark forest.
"It seems that if you want to significantly extend the time, you must enter the area with high concentration, or even directly find the legendary evil dragon that has been sleeping for ten thousand years!"
As the most terrifying existence in this forest, the concentration around the evil dragon must be ridiculously high. When he thought of this, he felt a little dry in his mouth.
That must be a delicious delicacy that makes people crazy!
"Go, go, go!"
After thinking about the goal, Xia Feng stopped hesitating and ran to the depths of the forest with all his strength.
While running, he was thinking about how to make better use of the power synchronized from Mu Qingtong.
[Spiritual Pressure Level: First Level]
[Combat: Master Level (smell, hearing, vision, nerve reaction, combat foresight.)]
[N-level Spirit Clothes (6): Illuminating Clothes, Fireball Flash, Ice Soul Blade, Messenger Spirit, Detection Eye, Bronze Mask]
[D-level Spirit Clothes (2): Concealing Spirit Clothes, Triple Wave]
[Spiritual Weapons: *To be awakened*]
Among the eight spirit clothes, the Illuminating Clothes can emit light for lighting, and the Bronze Mask is used to reduce the sense of presence. They are almost literal functions, and they are both auxiliary spirit clothes.
As for Fireball Flash and Ice Soul Blade? The former can throw out a fist-sized fireball, and the latter can throw out an ice blade. Together with the Detection Eye, they are called the three-piece set for novices.
These are the three spirit clothes that students in the first grade must learn and are the easiest to learn.
This shows how lazy Mu Qingtong has been since she entered school. If she hadn't accidentally learned Triple Wave yesterday, she would not have taken the initiative to learn any attack skills.
No, she didn't learn Triple Wave on her own initiative!
Why didn't this woman learn so many D-level spiritual clothes, but learned Concealment?
According to Mu Qingtong's personality, she would never waste energy to learn a spiritual clothing that is not very useful to her.
Xia Feng pondered for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to her mind, as if she had realized something -
Concealment is combined with the bronze mask and the ice soul blade. Wow, isn't this Lanling King's backstab skill?
It is worth mentioning that although the bronze mask is an N-level spiritual clothing, it was created by Mu Qingtong! !
Using a very simple spirit substructure, she created such a strange spiritual clothing that can reduce her presence.
I can only say that this is very Mu Qingtong
Although the Concealment Spiritual Clothes is called Concealment, you can still vaguely see a fuzzy outline, which is not really invisible, but it is different when combined with the bronze mask.
Even if the Concealment Spiritual Clothes still have an outline, but after the presence is weakened by the bronze mask, it can enter a real stealth state, and it is difficult for the enemy to detect her approach!
"Very good, I've wasted my time!"
But——
Unfortunately, speed-type spirit clothes are the key for him now.
And Mu Qingtong, the arrogant man, probably memorized the spirit substructure diagram of the D-level spirit clothes "Shadow Step", but was too lazy to analyze it.
Very pitfall.
As for the one-tail spirit clothes, the progress has reached 98%, and there is only one more
"Roar!!!"
Suddenly, a shrill roar came from a distance, shaking the surrounding forests three times, and an unknown red-eyed bird flew into the sky in panic.
"Is this the roar of the evil beast?"
Xia Feng stopped in doubt and looked down at the map in his hand with some uncertainty.
"According to the map markings, this is still the light disaster area. Why are there still nightmare beasts?"
The environment in the light disaster area is not the best living environment for nightmare beasts, so the nightmare beasts in the evil dragon forest will only move in the heavy disaster area and rarely enter the light disaster area.
While thinking, he jumped onto the treetop and looked into the distance.
I saw a huge black hole in the sky in the distance. A nightmare beast shaped like a griffin was fleeing out in fear, fighting desperately against the huge suction of the black hole.
"Roar!!!"
It was useless. It was swallowed up by the black hole bit by bit while it was furious.
"Black hole. Is this the ability of Sanamu?"
Xia Feng recalled that nightmare beasts are divided into four types: disaster, disaster, disaster, and void.
Sanamu is a kind of disaster. It will randomly release black holes, swallow everything around it, and then spit it out from another black hole.
So the natural disaster formed by Sanamu is also called black hole disaster.
"Let's go."
Xia Feng jumped off the treetop and turned around. Since this road was blocked, he would take a detour.
According to the map, there is a fruit-bearing wisdom tree in the northwest. Although the main purpose of his trip is to go deep into the disaster area to find the evil dragon, it is not impossible to complete the competition.
Qi Xiao should be close to the destination now, so he has to hurry.

"Hehe~Hehe~~"
Qi Xiao's face was pale and he held the tree trunk, gasping for breath. He shook his head in a state of confusion, gnashing his teeth and waving his hands around randomly, "Get out! Get out of here!!"
The indescribable whispers in his ears were intermittent, mixed with sharp and noisy mumblings, surrounding him 720 degrees, as if countless human insects and beasts were roaring at him.
Snap——
The knife stabbed into his forearm with his backhand, blood splattered, and Qi Xiao suddenly woke up, but his eyes were still bloodshot, the veins on his neck and forehead were bulging, and he gasped like a demented beast.
"Damn it! I still underestimated the concentration of the evil force in the light evil zone!"
He pressed his temples, trying to keep himself rational and sober.
After a while, he finally calmed down, looked down at the map, and the corners of his lips grinned excitedly, "It's just in front!"
He quickly got up and rushed forward, rolling and crawling, and after a few steps, he suddenly saw the light!
A big tree more than ten meters high and full of dark red small fruits came into view, that was the tree of wisdom!
And behind the tree of wisdom was a small grassland in the forest. In the middle of the grassland stood a huge tree with pale leaves and stems. The tree only produced a snow pear-shaped life fruit with a crystal clear skin.
"Heh~~"
Qi Xiao grinned and staggered towards the wisdom tree. As long as he ate a wisdom fruit, he would be able to regain his sanity and escape the threat of death!
Then——
Then he could pick all the wisdom fruits and wait leisurely for Xia Feng to come.
Even if he was a proud genius, in the face of death, a wisdom fruit was enough to make him kneel at his feet and wag his tail to beg for mercy.
