It was already afternoon when Mu Qianyu and Bei Chenye went back. She came back with a full meal and went to bed, making those who were still recovering from their injuries look envious.
Ever since she got more than 200 jackdaw crystal cores, she felt that people looked at her more and more unkindly. If Beichen Ye hadn't been around, these people might have robbed her.
Mu Qianyu understands this feeling. The mercenaries are all jealous of money, and she has encountered many internal strife.
The team stayed there for three days before setting off for the Spirit Beast Forest. Looking at the haggard appearance of each of them, Mu Qianyu wanted to persuade them not to go. They couldn't defeat even the second-level spirit beasts, and they would lose their lives if they entered again.
Gu Yifan was still following Mu Qianyu, talking endlessly about his passion for alchemy, which made Mu Qianyu feel dizzy.
Beichen Ye glanced at him, and Gu Yifan immediately shut up. He didn't want to be beaten into the mountains and unable to dig it out.
Mu Qianyu gave Bei Chenye a grateful look.
There are more second-level spiritual beasts along the way, and occasionally third-level spiritual beasts such as snakes and lizards appear.
Level three spiritual beasts are more ferocious, and their strength is equivalent to that of level four to six spiritual warriors. Even Mu Qianyu must treat them with caution.
After walking for another two days, Mu Qianyu, with the help of Gu Yifan and Bei Chenye, killed several third-level spiritual beasts and made some money. Others became more and more jealous.
By the third day, there were very few second-level spiritual beasts around, and almost all were third-level spiritual beasts. Even some poisonous insects were much more toxic, which can be said to be a crisis step by step.
Jiang Mohan and Zheng Fei were very cautious, and the disciples in the academy were nervous but also a little excited, because from now on, danger and treasures coexist, and if you are lucky, you can also make a fortune.
"Master, there is a good spiritual fruit."
When Mu Qianyu was bored, the weapon spirit spoke in her mind.
She immediately became interested: "Where?"
"On the mountain in front of you on the right, there is a fifth-level Biluo fruit. Eating it can increase your cultivation level, but not much," Qi Ling said.
"It's not too much and you can't miss it." Mu Qianyu looked up at the mountain. The mountain was not high but it smelled like an animal. She asked, "Is there no guardian beast?"
"No." Qi Ling replied.
Mu Qianyu was confused: "Is that weird?"
She said these words aloud.
"What's wrong?" Beichenye asked.
"There is the aura of spiritual beasts on this mountain. There should be some kind of protected treasure. Let's go and have a look?" Mu Qianyu said.
"There won't be any good treasures here. It's best not to cause trouble." Beichen Ye said.
"The legs of flies are meat, too. I don't think the beasts here are very strong. I'll go and have a look." She said and was already climbing the mountain.
Beichen Ye allowed her to go. As she said, it was not strong even with the guardian beast. What's more, he didn't seem to feel any trace of the guardian beast, only its breath, so it was probably not there.
The academy disciples had their eyes on Mu Qianyu and looked over when they saw her going up the mountain. The direct disciple Chu Yang even followed up with a few people.
Bei Chenye swayed up to the high ground and stared at those people quietly.
Obviously he didn't emit any breath, but Chu Yang just felt the terrifying oppression, and couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.
Is this really a servant?
Mu Qianyu didn't go far when she saw a very dense tree on the back of the mountain, but there was only one bright red fruit on it. She picked it after making sure there was no danger.
"Bi Luo Guo." Someone behind Chu Yang said.
The disciples below also heard that it was actually a fifth-level spiritual fruit, and it was the kind that could increase pure strength without the use of medicine. It would cost about 100,000 spiritual stones on the market.
Mu Qianyu came over the mountain and saw everyone looking at her.
"What's going on? A robbery?" Mu Qianyu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
"Mu Qianyu, we all found this fruit while traveling, why don't you leave it alone?" Chu Yang said. Although he couldn't beat it, he didn't intend to steal it.
"Yes, after all, you don't dare to enter the spirit beast forest alone, you should have our share." Another person said.
"Yes, you have harvested so much along the way, you should also share the fruits."
These disciples were indeed jealous. After all, Mu Qianyu gained a lot along the way, and every time they killed a spiritual beast, they had to share it equally. The harvest was really pitiful.
But this is not according to the rules.
Zheng Fei wanted to speak but was stopped by Jiang Mohan, with the excuse that public anger is hard to offend.
"You guys shouldn't be so tense. It's just the same fruit and there's no need to divide it equally. I'll give it to you." Mu Qianyu said and threw it towards Chu Yang.
The disciples didn't expect to succeed so easily. The emotions they had just brewed were nowhere to be released, and they couldn't help but feel a little confused.
When did Mu Qianyu become so easy to talk to?
Beichenye also felt that this move was wise, so he did not take action.
The group of three people continued to walk behind, and Gu Yifan said angrily: "Senior sister, why did you give them your trophies?"
"It's not easy." Mu Qianyu said.
In fact, when she got the fruit, the weapon spirit said that there was a strong scent of spirit beasts on it, and she might be tracked if she stole it. Anyway, she didn't lack that bit of spiritual power, so there was no need to always be on guard against sneak attacks by spirit beasts.
If the spirit beast is weak, they are lucky; if it is strong, they are unlucky.
That day, the group was still stationed on the hillside. This high terrain had a good view and was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Mu Qianyu wanted to drink fish soup, so he and Beichenye went to the lake to fish before dinner. Anyway, with him by his side, he was not afraid of powerful spiritual beasts attacking him.
Beichen would take off his mask when he was alone with her at night. The two of them were fishing and chatting, and they were very happy.
It was already getting late when we returned, and before we even reached the campground, we heard the piercing sounds of monkeys and the sounds of people panicking.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
"Ah, they grab things..."
Beichenye immediately took Mu Qianyu's hand and walked around behind the nearby rocks to watch.
I saw dozens of monkeys on the hillside, fighting with the disciples of the academy. Their strength was around level two or three. The monkeys not only fought but also robbed their packages.
Among them, the monkeys attacking Chu Yang were the most numerous, and they looked like they were swearing.
"Did that fruit summon you?" Mu Qianyu whispered.
Bei Chenyi nodded: "The same breath."
Mu Qianyu chuckled: "The monkeys are not strong, it seems they are lucky."
"Not necessarily." Bei Chenyi pointed to a shadow under the mountain. He saw a few injured monkeys quickly running up the tree, constantly borrowing strength from the tree, and jumping into the spirit beast forest.
Mu Qianyu frowned and said, "Monkeys also live in groups, so they are not bringing in rescue troops."
"Probably."
"Then rescue that kid Gu Yifan," Mu Qianyu said.
Beichen Ye was indifferent by nature, so after hearing what she said, he said: "Wait here."
There was chaos on the hillside shrouded in darkness. Gu Yifan was fighting against three monkeys in a shadow. A shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and the three monkeys fell to the ground. Then his eyes blurred, and then he realized they had arrived.
