Chapter 281 Guardian Spirit Beast, Gift of Red Fruit (Please Subscribe)

Jiang Minghe was overjoyed and was about to go forward to check the newly born red fruit tree.

Suddenly, the gray smoke that was inadvertently ignored by the three people rolled towards the fruit tree.

"Not good!" Zhou Hanguang shouted in a low voice, and the magic light around him flowed. He wanted to stop it, but he was a step too slow.

The gray smoke circled, and most of the red fruits fell down, and then exploded into light red spiritual mist.

"Evil creature! How dare you!" Jiang Minghe was furious, and a blue magic light turned into a sharp blade and slashed at the gray smoke.

Li Qing's eyes condensed, thinking of a certain possibility, but he did not make a move, and only used his spiritual sense to lock the gray smoke firmly.

Then he saw that the smoke seemed to have spirituality, jumping up and down around the red fruit tree, making Zhou and Jiang afraid to use a large-scale lethal method.

And it kept absorbing the spiritual mist transformed by the red fruit, combining it with itself, giving birth to new changes.

"As expected!" Li Qing's heart moved, and a stream of Qingmu Zhenyuan stopped the furious Zhou and Jiang, "Two Taoist brothers, wait a minute!"

Zhou Hanguang stopped casting and looked at Li Qing: "What do you mean, Taoist friend?"

Li Qing pointed at the crimson smoke: "This thing comes from the red fruit tree. If I guess correctly, it should be..."

Before he finished speaking, the smoke suddenly gathered towards the core and then released a red light.

"...The guardian beast of the red fruit tree!"

As soon as Li Qing finished speaking, the red light suddenly retreated and turned into a gray puppy.

The puppy was surrounded by a faint fire, and there was a bright fire in its mouth. It looked a little soft and cute, but its breath was very fierce.

As soon as it took shape, it stood in the air with its back to the fruit tree and facing the three people in the posture of a guardian.

"Woof..." The gray puppy looked at Zhou and Jiang vigilantly, and was a little close to Li Qing.

Jiang Minghe was stunned: "What's going on?"

Li Qing sorted out his thoughts and explained the murals he had seen before, combined with the current situation.

"According to Daoyou, this puppy, like the two wild beasts before, is a guardian beast evolved from the red fruit tree itself?" Zhou Hanguang's eyes narrowed slightly.

Li Qing nodded: "Yes. I also suspected that the reason why the red fruit tree was difficult to heal itself before was because the guardian beast from the same source died..."

"Now, I healed the red fruit tree with Nirvana Fire. The fruit tree has spirits, so it gave birth to guardian beasts again."

"Perhaps it was affected by Nirvana Fire. This newborn beast is also a fire spirit beast, different from the previous two beasts."

Zhou Hanguang's brows relaxed: "Then if we want to take this red fruit tree into our pocket, we still need the approval of this little guy?"

Li Qing smiled and nodded: "That's right. And the two Taoist friends can't force it."

"After all, it comes from the same source as the red fruit tree. If it's in a bad mood, it may affect the growth of the fruit tree."

Zhou and Jiang were a little embarrassed.

Li Qing didn't care so much. After all, the transaction was completed after the fruit tree was cured. He felt at ease with the "Lingxiao Dan Jing".

As for how the two won the approval of the gray puppy, it was none of his business.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to turn around and leave, the puppy barked at him.

While being alert to the two people, it turned its head and picked three fruits from the red fruit tree with its claws and teeth.

Looking at the three red fruits handed to him, Li Qing was a little confused: "Is this for me?"

The puppy nodded, threw the red fruit to Li Qing, and was on guard against the other two, as if afraid that they would snatch it.

Li Qing awkwardly took it and looked at the two people who were a little embarrassed: "This..."

Zhou Hanguang came back to his senses: "Daoyou, this little guy is the transformation of the red fruit tree. I want to give you the fruit to thank you for saving my life. Please accept it."

Jiang Minghe also said: "If it weren't for Daoyou's spiritual fire, this red fruit tree would be difficult to save. These three red fruits are what Daoyou deserve."

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to rub the puppy's head, and then took out a jade box to put the red fruit away: "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse it."

The little guy cried happily, ran back to the red fruit tree, and continued to guard Zhou and Jiang.

Li Qing was afraid of causing another embarrassing scene, so he quickly flew over the mountain and went to the pond to observe the murals.

After a while, Jiang Minghe flew over alone, accompanied Li Qing, and observed the murals together.

Li Qing asked with a smile: "It seems that the little guy was handed over to Fellow Daoist Zhou to subdue?"

Jiang Minghe nodded: "Well, he discovered the secret realm. He provoked the wild beast. He also anchored the secret realm. Naturally, he also has to deal with the guardian spirit beast..."

Li Qing did not say much, but was very interested in the method of anchoring the secret realm.

After all, after he tricked Xuan Jing back to Qinghe Valley, the Xuanjing Secret Realm was already vacant. If it could be anchored, it would be enough to double the Li family's foundation.

Jiang Minghe shook his head: "This is too difficult. On the one hand, it requires the special secrets of my Tanyuan Immortal City and the matching spiritual tools."

"On the other hand, it can only be performed if the secret realm is often opened. If it is opened once every few years, it will be pulled by the laws of heaven and earth and it is basically impossible to anchor it."

Li Qing said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions. He looked up at the orb in the sky again: "That, did you two install it, or was it originally there?"

The secret realm of the cultivation world, like the void treasure of the elf world, is not a complete world, and naturally there is no sun, moon, and stars.

Generally speaking, the light of the secret realm comes from the reflected sky light of the cultivation world, and the time sequence is synchronized with it.

The only difference that Li Qing encountered over the years was the void treasure that sealed the Wind Scythe Demon.

The sun inside was transformed from the remains of the King of Light.

And this secret realm is the second exception.

Jiang Minghe shook his head: "It was there originally. We didn't put it there."

As if he knew what Li Qing was curious about, he pointed at the gem: "Don't look at it as if it's hanging there, but no matter how we fly, we can't touch it."

"And although this thing is shining, it doesn't release any spiritual energy, or the sun's true fire, as if it's just a decoration."

Li Qing thought for a while: "Is it possible that the one above may not be the real body, but just some kind of reflection?"

Jiang Minghe shrugged: "Maybe. But there is no clue at the moment, let it hang like this for now."

Li Qing laughed dumbly: "That's the truth."

After a while, Zhou Handang came over with a gray puppy.

Compared with the vigilance when he was just born, the puppy seemed to become close to him.

"This little guy is a father to anyone who eats." Zhou Hanguang smiled and rubbed the dog's head. "I fed it a piece of third-level fire jade and it agreed to let me sign it."

"What a big deal!" Li Qing laughed. "It was born from the red fruit tree and belongs to the fire element. The fire jade is really attractive to it."

Jiang Minghe asked: "Then have you figured it out? What kind of spirit beast is this dog?"

The puppy heard the words and "woofed" spiritually.

Zhou Hanguang translated: "It calls itself 'Huo Dou'."
