Fruit fairy

Chapter 145 Shortcuts are risky

Outside the main hall, Master Wen stood quietly with his hands behind his back.

A gust of wind blows, and a long gray beard floats up. A giant crane comes down with its wings spread out, its neck bent and swaying, its ears and temples rubbing together, looking affectionate.

After being touched by the headmaster for a moment, the crane stood beside him, standing on one leg and pretending to sleep. The headmaster after hearing the news was staring at the bottom of the mountain calmly, like a master from outside the world.

But in his heart, he was recalling what his uncle had just said:

"It's such a pity that the young man's weapon spirit root turned out to be a black flaky dead object. It is neither an ancient jade slip nor a spiritual treasure or ancient treasure that can be passed down. Although it was swept away during the inspection, the spiritual treasure The power and sharpness of the ancient treasure cannot escape my eyes."

"In my opinion, this spiritual root has only a tool but no root. It is like a person who has lost his mind. Although he has a physical body, he has no soul that can be sublimated. Although this person can cultivate, it will never be able to cultivate to a profound state. There is no problem in being promoted to Foundation Establishment, and guarding the Spirit Devouring Abyss for the sect from now on can add some momentum."

"After climbing the mountain, this person can be selected into the Intermediate Court." Hearing the master's salute in reply, he already knew how to arrange this person.

"That's good, and this person comes from a noble family, so he can use more resources in cultivation. After establishing the foundation, he can also contribute to the sect as soon as possible."

Just when Master Wen turned around and walked out, Master Baimei's voice sounded from behind.

After leaving the palace gate, the headmaster couldn't help but sigh:

"The possessor of Qi Linggen was originally a very talented person. Unfortunately, the quality of his spiritual root is not worthy of the prestige of Qi Linggen. In previous years, he might have been outstanding. There is nothing wrong with being selected into the Upper House and becoming an elite disciple."

"It's a pity that this life is not at the right time. The spiritual roots of those people are indeed more dazzling than him, and there are only three places for promotion to the upper house with spiritual root qualifications. If the twin brothers only occupied one place, even the physical body It is also difficult for people with Yin-Yang Mysterious Body to be selected."

Although Head Wen secretly thought it was a pity, he immediately became happy when he thought of the other people.

After all, this was his first time presiding over the opening day of the sect, and the result was so fruitful that he recruited four people with excellent qualifications into the sect. Compared with previous years, such achievements were enough to make him quite proud.

Just as he was immersed in joy, there was a different scene in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain.

On an extremely steep black cliff, a thin figure was slowly climbing close to the cliff.

The owner of the figure is about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a black training uniform with the words 'Five Tigers Escort Agency' embroidered on the back.

Although the young man is thin, he is mentally tough and quick. He has obviously received strict training. Otherwise, how would he dare to climb on a cliff dozens of feet high at such an age?
Although the boy was sweating profusely, his movements were steady. The bulging veins on his dark arms were full of strength. He could easily grab the rocks or cracks in the rocks and hang his body firmly on the rocks.

In less than one meal, the young man climbed to a distance of less than ten feet from the top of the cliff. In a few more breaths, he would be able to successfully reach the top. In this way, he would be one step closer to the mountain gate of the peak.

Although the young man was very tired, he refused to relax when he saw success in sight. He wanted to climb up the cliff with all his strength, so he took a deep breath, jumped up, reached out and grabbed a slightly raised rock above his head.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his palm was placed on the protruding rock, the young man's expression became extremely strange.

Before he could react, the dark brown rock began to twist as if it had come alive.

The young man suddenly screamed and his palm fell down.

Just as the boy rolled down and wailed throughout the valley, the twisting rock suddenly shrank back and disappeared instantly. The next moment, a strange beast with a sharp mouth, a pair of small eyes and round ears poked out. The head looked down the cliff and then retracted the head.

"Hey, there is actually a mausoleum carp hidden in this cliff."

On the cliff, a clear and melodious female voice suddenly sounded. The next moment, a red light shot out from above. In an instant, the fallen boy was lifted up, and in a moment of relaxation, the boy was gently placed on the ground. on the grass.

The young man's eyes turned white at this moment, and he had already fainted from fright.

It was only at this moment that the red light revealed its true appearance. It turned out to be a light and weightless red silk. The aura flashed all over the body, and it could expand and contract like breathing. It turned out to be a high-grade magic weapon.

This red damask was hovering in the air like a dragon. When the lightning shot back, it was so fast that it could be said to disappear in the blink of an eye.

Outside the cliff, a girl in a purple shirt stood floating in the air with her feet on green leaves. Her figure was graceful and her skin was snow-white. A playful smile appeared on her delicate face.

"The aura in the floating island is amazing. An ordinary pet has been hiding here for more than ten years, but it has quietly cultivated the cultivation of a second-level monster. It is really unexpected."

The girl in purple shirt seemed to know the origin of this mausoleum carp, and she was slightly surprised at this moment.Ling carp, also known as pangolin, is an earth monster with good defense. Its four sharp claws are comparable to magic weapons. Ordinary rocks are like tofu in front of it.

Unfortunately, the rock on this floating island is extremely hard and is not much better than metal. Therefore, after escaping for many years, this pet toad carp could only expand a cave that was barely suitable for living in the cracks in the rock. After curling up, it could only A piece of the tail is left exposed.

Since the colors are the same and difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and the cliffs and stone walls are bare and unobstructed, naturally no monk is bored enough to use his spiritual consciousness to scan here.

Moreover, this mausoleum carp is extremely timid, lying around day and night only sucking spiritual energy on the cliff. It is so cautious that it has been hidden for many years without being discovered.

As a result, today it was God's will. A young mountaineer who wanted to take a shortcut accidentally mistook its tail for a rock. The frightened mangling carp naturally twisted around as a conditioned reflex.

As a result, the boy almost died after falling off the cliff, and it was unlucky enough to reveal its whereabouts.

"More than ten years ago, Brother Ji, who was also in the Intermediate Academy, posted a bounty mission about you. Coincidentally, I have seen it before. If not for this, I would not have been able to remember your origins for a while. ."

The purple-clothed girl said with a half-smile, and as a second-level monster, Lingli had the intelligence of an eighty-nine-year-old child. Knowing that it was outmatched, it quickly crawled down after hearing the words, shaking its head as if Pleading.

"Well, you want me to turn a blind eye and let you go? That's not possible. I have purchased a lot of spiritual herbs in order to refine the elixirs, and my hands have been very tight recently."

The girl flexed her fingers and continued: "How about you get me some spiritual stones and I let you go?"

The girl in the green shirt is similar in age to Li Can and others. Although she is in the early stage of foundation building, she still has the mentality of a young person. At this moment, she is so playful that she starts joking with the second-level monster.

Just as Ling Li's little eyes kept turning, a scream suddenly came from the distance, followed by intermittent calls for help.

"No, I almost forgot about business."

After the girl's consciousness swept away, her face suddenly tightened. There was an immortal person in danger in the area she was responsible for guarding. Of course, if there was an accident, she would inevitably be blamed.

She pointed her green finger slightly, moved her lotus steps lightly, and the green leaf magic weapon under her feet flew away quickly.

Just after the girl's figure disappeared in a flash, the toad carp with a small head and a round body immediately popped out.

The next moment, I saw stone chips flying and dust scattering on the cliff. Ling Li, who was busy escaping for his life, activated all the demonic power in his body, and his round figure shot up on the stone wall, then landed on the edge of the cliff and rolled away. .

Grass clippings were rustling on the cliff, and after a while, there was no sound again. The mangling carp had disappeared to nowhere.

A few miles away from here, a rope bridge hanging over a mountain stream has long been in decay. There are no complete wooden boards on the dozens of feet long bridge, and only a few arm-thick ropes are swaying in the mountain wind.

"Brother Can, help me, I can't hold on anymore."

The cry for help came again from the rope bridge.

Following the sound, Li Yuesong was seen holding a rope tightly, his body hanging in the air with a pale face. He stared at the broken rope above his head and did not dare to struggle at all, for fear that after the only remaining rope broke, he would be killed. He is really going to fall into the abyss and be turned into a meat pie.

"Listen to my instructions, stay calm and don't struggle. Okay, stretch out your hand."

Just as he was sweating and struggling to hold on, Li Can's voice came from another rope above his head.

This sound is like a long drought encountering rain, which is very exciting.

As the order came, a black shadow flashed above. Li Can, who had his feet staggered on the rope, leaned down and stretched out his arm to grab Li Yuesong's forearm.

"Let go."

As the voice came, Li Yuesong obediently let go of his hands and felt his body being lifted up lightly.

"Thank you clan brother for saving me."

On the other side of the rope bridge, on a rope ten feet away, the frightened Li Yueru finally thanked him with a sigh of relief.
