"If you find the cuttlefish, can you get the Yijin fruit?"
Lu Feng asked with some concern.
Lin Xiaowan was stunned: "Brother Liyun, do you want this fruit too?"
Lu Feng was stunned. Naturally, he couldn't express his feelings and confessed what he needed to study the formation. He casually replied: "I'm a little curious."
Lin Xiaowan chuckled, "It's useless to be curious, you can't pick it. To pick this fruit, you need someone who doesn't have the energy of metal in your body to wear a special treasure armor, take a pill that isolates the spiritual energy, and use special techniques.
Even if you encounter it in a hurry in the outside world, you won't be able to pick it up, let alone in this realm where you can't even use the tools."
"Golden Qi?" Lu Feng was puzzled, how could picking a fruit involve Golden Qi?
Lin Xiaowan explained: "Yijin fruit is extremely sensitive. If the person who picks it has gold energy in the body, it will easily resonate with the lines on the surface of the fruit once it comes into contact. If you are not careful, it will cause damage, even with the help of the elixir.
And the secret method suppresses the movement of metal energy, and it is difficult to avoid the perception of Yijin fruit."
When Lu Feng heard so many picking requests, the corner of his mouth twitched, and the idea that had just emerged couldn't help but dissipate. With such complicated picking requirements, this trip was obviously not destined for this Yijin fruit.
Ordinary people might have some regrets that they can't let go of, but Lu Feng's mind has become extremely calm along the way, and he sees gains and losses much more lightly.
"Looking at it this way, this Yijin fruit is not a spiritual fruit. It is clearly a poisonous fruit."
Lin Xiaowan couldn't help but feel happy when she heard Lu Feng's joking words, "The Lingguo List doesn't care whether it is poisonous or not, as long as it tastes good. Don't look at the stinky and poisonous Yijin fruit if it is not handled properly, but the inner flesh is green and crispy.
It’s many times sweeter than ordinary fruit juice; if the pulp of the Yijin fruit is dried and used to make tea, it will be the best in the world."
Lin Xiaowan couldn't help but reveal a bit of greed as she spoke, and she swallowed without caring about her image.
Chu Youwei listened to Lin Xiaowan's incomplete explanation and interjected: "Although the pulp is good, if you really want to eat it, you still have to soak it in special salt water to remove the juice inside, otherwise you will lose your life."
Lin Xiaowan smiled bitterly, "Yes, yes, the layer of juice attached to the outside of the pulp is much scarier than the poison released by the core."
Gui Ling, who never interrupted much, suddenly said: "The juice you are talking about is scarier than the poisonous smell?"
"Yes," Lin Xiaowan nodded subconsciously, "The flying knife that Chu Youren threw just now is stained with juice. If he was accidentally scratched by it, even a Heavenly Soul Realm soul master would die if he kept it.
.”
Gui Ling asked again: "Will the Yijin fruit he stabbed just now release poisonous smell again?"
Lin Xiaowan thought for a while and said: "It depends on whether this Yijin fruit is dead or not. If its core can still be repaired, it will still be able to release that terrible poisonous smell once it grows independently and completes the rhymes on the body surface.
of."
Gui Ling secretly wrote it down.
Lu Feng frowned and looked at Gui Ling, somewhat unable to grasp the latter's intentions. Based on his understanding of Gui Ling, the latter rarely interrupted or asked others, and there must be a reason for his questions.
But due to my status and location, it was inconvenient to ask more questions.
In the distance, five guards also rushed back one after another.
Gu Dehui reported: "Miss, I found traces of a man-made cliff ladder not far ahead. I have gone down to investigate and did not see any danger."
Chu Youwei nodded and asked, "Have you found any spiritual springs?"
Gu De's face looked a little ugly, "Miss, there is indeed a spiritual spring underneath, but it has dried up, leaving only a bowl-sized water source."
Chu Youwei's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, and he glanced at Chu Youren who was placed on one side, still trembling slightly and unconscious, and couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his heart.
If there was no spiritual spring this time, Chu Youren would probably be in bad luck.
"Let's go down and take a look first." Lu Feng suggested.
Past experiences and lessons taught him that he should never trust anyone easily unless he saw it with his own eyes. In the face of resources, even the closest brothers may turn against each other, not to mention that these are just ordinary guards who have nothing to do with him.
There is no guarantee that these people will not be selfish, conceal the true situation, and later siphon off these resources later.
But this time, Lu Feng really judged a gentleman with a villain's heart.
However, it is essential to be on guard against others. When you are away from home, you are right to have more than one mind.
A group of people followed the artificially dug cliff ladder to the foot of the fissure cliff.
The space underneath was much wider than Lu Feng imagined. It looked like lines when looking at it, and it looked like the sky when looking down.
In the cold and dark environment, there was a faint dampness in the air.
Gui Ling took out an array disk from the array box and placed it on one side. A bright beam of light immediately emitted from the array.
This is the basic 'Jade Formation' that Lu Feng introduced to her. It is an auxiliary formation composed of countless bright jade inscriptions. It can illuminate a space as if it is daylight, but its effect is only for lighting.
This formation was created by a powerful man in the era when thousands of races were established. The original intention was to defend the city to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks at night. The top Yuming formation can even cover dozens of miles in radius.
, it is no exaggeration to say that the night in a city can be permanently turned into day.
However, the Jade Ming Formation made by Lu Feng was only at the level of a magical formation, and its consumables were all low-grade lighting jade. The coverage area was only the size of one or two houses, and it could only maintain the scene for three or four days.
But it is enough to deal with the current situation.
Covered by bright beams of light, everyone could already clearly see their surroundings.
Underfoot, there was no longer thick and hard soil, but layers of messy gravel. There were many dead branches and dead wood scattered in twos and threes, and milky white mushrooms as big as fists grew in the corners of the rock crevices.
Not far away, there is a semicircular deep pit dug by humans, like a pool. The center of the most concave circle is four or five meters deep from the ground.
There is a circle of gravel outside the pit, with weeds and small wild flowers growing in the gaps between the stones.
"Gu De, where is the source of the bowl-sized water you just mentioned?"
Chu Youwei looked around and saw no accumulation of spiritual water at all. She couldn't help but feel deeply puzzled at the moment.
Gu De was in a state of shock. He jumped into the huge pit and reached the deepest depression. He kept rubbing his eyes and said, "Miss, I really saw a ghost. I just saw this clearly."
There is a puddle of water the size of your head? Could it be that all the time has gone by in this moment?"
Gu De disbelievingly touched the muddy and wet soil under his feet, and said in surprise: "Miss, I really didn't lie. Look at the soil here, it has clearly been washed and soaked by the water."
Lu Feng examined the deep pit in front of him and saw that there were indeed some traces of flowing water on the inner wall of the thick soil, and there was also a good amount of humidity. It was definitely not like it had been dry for a long time. He couldn't help but feel a little concerned about the strange sight in front of him.
and curiosity.
Lin Xiaowan said with a somewhat dejected voice: "It seems that we are destined to lose this blessing. This spiritual spring disappeared before we came. The spiritual spring is gone, and the black fish is gone..."
Chu Youwei, who was also very disappointed, was suddenly shocked by Lin Xiaowan's words, "No, if it had passed by naturally, how could there be no trace of fish carcasses here?"
Lu Feng was startled, recalling in his mind the scene of dead fish and rotten shrimps everywhere after the island dried up, and finally realized the reason for the violation of the deep pit in front of him.
If it were to flow naturally, the pit would be too clean!
Even if there is no such rare thing as the Ink Breath Fish, even if it is a spiritual spring, there will definitely be many spiritual water plants accompanying it, but right now there is nothing left.
Lin Xiaowan also reacted at this time, "It's so strange. When I came down just now, I was still vaguely listening to the sound of gurgling water. How could I not see any water source? This is so unreasonable."
After hearing this, the other guards leaned against the rock wall one after another, either listening or climbing halfway up.
"Miss, the water is flowing here."
Gu Cai listened one after another, and finally heard a faint gurgling sound above the rock wall five or six meters away from the ground.
When everyone heard this, their first reaction was joy, but then they all felt confused.
The deep pit at the bottom is clearly like a spiritual pond. There is not even a trace of water left in the pit. How come there is the sound of water flowing in the middle of the rock wall?
Where can the water flow come from if there is no water source?
Could it be that the deep pool in front of me is not the source of this spiritual spring?
Could it be that there are other deep pits under such cracks that hold spring water?
Countless doubts came to Chu Youwei's mind, and she signaled: "Look around and walk farther along the rock wall."
Because of Chu Youren, the guards did not carry illuminating jade or other sundries in their packages. It was not easy to carry the Jade Ming Array set up by Lu Feng far away, so they had to find a few dead trees nearby and burn them into one.
A torch.
Lin Xiaowan was unwilling to wait and asked for a few torches from the guards and handed them to Gui Ling and Lu Feng.
Chu Youwei did not participate in the exploration because she had to take care of Chu Youren.
After seven or eight torches were lit together, the surrounding temperature instantly rose to a higher level.
Just when everyone was about to leave, Gu De's voice suddenly came out, "Look, is there water coming out of the pit?"
Because he was unwilling to give up, he always kept an eye on the abyss, and the slightly strange moment at that moment alarmed him.
After hearing this, everyone immediately ran to the edge of the pit.
And when everyone approached, the bubbling sound couldn't help but become a little faster. Looking forward, they saw that in the center of the deep pit, clear spring water was constantly gushing out like boiling water, and with it, there was also a sound to the naked eye.
Visible pure white mist.
Everyone knew that the pure white mist Haoran was the result of the spiritual energy being so rich that it became substantial.
Just when everyone was still shocked and confused by such a sudden phenomenon.
Chu Youwei's surprised voice came over, "It's the temperature!"
With just three words, Lin Xiaowan and Lu Feng both reacted and looked at the torches in their hands.
It was precisely because the burning of the torch raised the temperature of this space that the spring water 'reacted' and began to flow out on its own.
"What's the point of this?"
Lin Xiaowan's eyes widened. Although she understood that it was due to the temperature, she still couldn't figure out why this phenomenon occurred.
