Chapter 409: Strange Demonic Willow
In a world dominated by darkness and coldness, a mighty and colorful tiger is running wildly in the boundless wilderness.
This tiger is huge and exudes a violent and ferocious aura that makes people shudder.
The colorful stripes on its body are not black, but dark red. Combined with its different-colored tiger eyes, it looks very strange.
"Ouch!"
Fantong raised his head to the sky and roared angrily, the tiger's power spread out, and all the strange beasts within a radius of nearly a hundred miles began to tremble.
At this moment, it was like the king among strange beasts.
However, it was such a ferocious tiger king with a tall and upright young man riding on its back.
"Are you sure you want to continue devouring the red crystals of second-level beasts? Why do I feel like you are reaching your limit?"
Li Qing, who was sitting on Fan Tong's back, frowned and asked, feeling very worried about Fan Tong's current condition.
"Ho ho ho!"
The rice bucket responded affirmatively, its roar filled with determination.
Li Qing, who felt this firmness, just sighed and said nothing more.
It had been almost eighteen days since he arrived in the Extreme Night World. During this period, Fantong hunted three second-level alien beasts alone in the cold and lonely wilderness, and swallowed all the red crystals of the alien beasts.
Li Qing did not intervene in all this, but just watched silently.
After devouring three second-order red crystals, the rice bucket's strength increased dramatically at this moment, jumping directly from the early second-order to the middle second-order!
And its bloodline also experienced some changes again. At this time, the originally black stripes on the rice bowl completely evolved into dark red.
Especially at this time, the fangs exposed from Fan Tong's mouth have actually grown a lot longer.
Even though Li Qing had looked through many monster atlases in the world of immortality, he couldn't find any tiger monster that could match the appearance of the current rice bucket.
It can be said that at this time, Fantong is on a unique evolutionary path.
"In eighteen days, it climbed from the early stage of the second level to the middle stage of the second level. If this were told, it would definitely shock the jaws of many beast masters."
Yes, generally speaking, the strength of monster beasts progresses very slowly, and it is impossible for them to practice as fast as human monks.
Just because the life span of monster beasts is extremely long, they can even spend a lot of time waiting for a spiritual medicine to mature. This shows how long the life span of monster beasts is, which is several times that of human monks of the same class!
This is why in the wilderness, many elixirs that grow are protected by monsters.
For a beast master, the strength of the monsters he raises has improved rapidly, and it is definitely too late to be happy.
But Li Qing doesn't think so. No matter how you say it, red crystal has side effects. If you rely too much on it, your intelligence may be affected.
Li Qing would rather the rice bucket be weaker than see it fall into a chaotic and crazy state.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the ground in front of him suddenly trembled.
"Stop!" Li Qing, who was alert, shouted to the rice bucket to stop, his eyes fixed on a tall black figure in front of him.
The source of the tremors on the ground was caused by the black shadow!
After the rice bucket stopped, Li Qing activated a giant fireball and threw it directly towards the black shadow.
With the intense firelight after the fireball exploded, Li Qing and Fan Tong finally saw clearly the specific appearance of this black shadow.
This turned out to be a tree, a truly towering tree!
"How could it be possible that after entering the Dark Ages, weren't all these trees replaced by mushrooms?"
Li Qing frowned and looked at everything in front of him with deep shock.
This is a willow tree, an endless and huge willow tree, but its branches are not green in the traditional sense, but a strange red!
From a distance, this huge willow tree is hidden in the darkness, like a mountain standing in a vast wilderness.
Even Li Qing didn't realize that the black shadow covering half of the sky was not a mountain, but a plant!
The reason why the ground shook just now was that a giant woolly elephant crashed into the trunk of a willow tree.
I saw the red willow branches slowly hanging down, and finally penetrated into the body of the dead giant woolly elephant without any hindrance.
As if in an instant, the hanging willow branch seemed to turn a little brighter red.
Immediately afterwards, the woolly giant elephant became shriveled up, and all the flesh and blood on its body was completely drained!
Finally, the willow branch twitched again, and a bright red crystal was wrapped around its end.
Li Qing witnessed with his own eyes the willow tree inlaying this red crystal on its trunk, becoming a part of its trunk.
After seeing clearly the number of red crystals on Liu Shu's body, Li Qing couldn't help but take a breath of air.
"hiss!"
There are hundreds of them, many of them like the second-order red crystals taken out of the woolly elephant just now.
Using red crystal as bait, this willow tree actually trapped and captured hundreds of strange beasts!
"No wonder, why did I say that the number of strange beasts in this area suddenly became so rare? It turned out that they were all hunted down by this demonic willow tree."
It was unbelievable that Li Qing couldn't figure out why such a strange willow tree was born here even if he thought about it.
"Let's go, don't mess with this thing, even come close!"
Although it can only be seen that this willow tree is passively hunting, who knows whether it can act autonomously.
Such a huge body, once it takes the initiative to attack, it will definitely be a terrifying thing.
Whether in the polar night world or the world of immortal cultivation, there is a common understanding of monsters or strange beasts.
A small body is not necessarily weak, but a large body is definitely strong!
Facing the monster tree with lush willow branches, as vast as a mountain, Li Qing did not have the slightest idea of resisting.
Although Fan Tong was a little naive on weekdays, he also understood at this time that it was impossible for him to have any chance of winning against this strange and huge willow tree.
Immediately, under Li Qing's instructions, Fan Tong began to run quickly to the other side at a very fast speed.
While running, Li Qing, sitting on the back of Fan Tong, looked solemn, and his thoughts kept churning in his mind.
"This strange demon willow actually knows how to use red crystal as bait to hunt other beasts. It's a bit scary."
"The beasts I saw before were all chaotic and crazy. Even if they were powerful, they had no intelligence at all."
"What is going on? Has something strange happened in this world?"
Li Qing raised his head and frowned at the evil red moon in the sky.
He galloped all the way until he left the strange demon willow far behind. Li Qing was relieved.
Going forward, he reached the border of the Black Wind Domain, and continuing forward, he was in the Autumn Mountain Domain!
As for this place, Li Qing had inquired about some things when he came to the Polar Night World last time.
This domain is ruled by a sect called the Blood Lotus Sect, which is composed of cultivators who used to be in the Polar Night World.
In the early days, some immortal cultivators huddled together for warmth in the last days of the law. Later, some people discovered the existence of the Red Moon Secret Power and completely gave up their identities as immortal cultivators. They then chose to practice the Red Moon Secret Power to seek immortality.
As time went on, the Blood Lotus Sect gradually grew stronger and became the only overlord of Qiushan Territory.
Without any hesitation, Li Qing rode on the rice bucket and rushed directly to Qiushan Territory.
In a blink of an eye, another five days passed. One man and one tiger were traveling at full speed in Qiushan Territory. During this period, they encountered many strange beasts. Li Qing naturally killed them at will and took out all their red crystals.
"Aohou."
On a desolate mountain in Qiushan Territory, the rice bucket was making a painful low roar, as if it was suffering from the pain of being cut by thousands of knives.
Finally, with a red halo flashing across its tiger body, it stopped its painful roar.
Just now, the rice bucket swallowed two more red crystals, but the improvement in strength was not so obvious, and it did not successfully break into the late second stage.
Looking at the dying Fan Tong lying on the ground, Li Qing comforted him softly:
"Don't be so depressed. The advancement of the strength of monsters is slow. It is already an exaggeration that you can transform to this level with a few red crystals."
"After returning to the Great Wilderness, I think it won't take much time for you to advance to the late second stage."
"If it doesn't work, hunt a few stronger monsters in the future. Don't forget that the one-eyed giant deer we met last time should be a quasi-third-level monster. This world must have such existence."
Hearing this, Fan Tong, who was lying on the ground, slowly closed his tiger eyes of different colors, constantly calming down the pain of the failed transformation just now.
Taking red crystal to transform is a very domineering behavior. Even Fan Tong, as a savage monster, can't stand it and must rest well.
At this time, its breath has become much weaker, and it is obviously at its limit.
If it is forced to take it again, it may hurt the root, which is why Li Qing no longer lets it take red crystals.
During this trip to the Polar Night World, Li Qing harvested four second-level red crystals and more than twenty first-level red crystals.
These harvests were enough for him to hold several trade fairs in the black market.
Just as he was about to take Fan Tong back to the Great Wilderness, suddenly there were several sounds of breaking through the air from the horizon.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
"Friend, you are lucky. You actually caught such a strange beast alive!"
"This strange beast looks good. How about I offer a high price to buy it back?"
I saw a few bat people flying in the air. If it weren't for their heads, they would hardly look like humans.
They had wings on their backs, a layer of black appearance all over their bodies, and their limbs were extremely deformed.
At this time, Li Qing stood beside the dying Fan Tong. It really looked like he had caught a strange beast alive, and it was inevitable that these people would cause misunderstandings.
As for these strange people, Li Qing just glanced at them indifferently and said:
"Which city are you from?"
