Chapter 1172: Pest Control
With a flash of his body, Chen Lin appeared in a fruit forest.
He has also been here before, and the mission of leaving has also been completed.
After taking a look around and seeing nothing unusual, he walked to the left. After walking for a while, a wooden door appeared in front of him, with a big black dog tied at the door.
The black dog is sleeping at the moment and has no reaction at all to his appearance.
However, the rules have been tested by experienced cultivators. As long as the dog is close to the wooden door, the dog will wake up immediately and no one will be allowed to leave through the wooden door.
Chen Lin did not provoke him. After watching for a while, he surrounded the fruit forest and observed.
The forest is not big, only a few acres of land. It is surrounded by high walls, so you can't see what's going on outside.
There is an invisible barrier at a high place, and it is impossible to fly up to see it.
After turning around and finding nothing different, Chen Lin returned to the starting point and looked at the fruit tree in front of him.
These fruit trees are very low, none of them can exceed the surrounding high walls, and there are not many fruits on them. There are only a few fruits on each tree, and only one is missing.
He walked up to a low-growing fruit and felt it carefully, with an expression on his face that showed that it was indeed the case.
The last time he came in, he had carefully studied these fruits. At that time, he did not feel any energy fluctuations in the pulp. Now he checked again and it was still the same.
In other words, these fruits can only show their peculiar features after being picked.
But the fruit cannot be picked.
The veteran cultivator has already tested it, and it doesn't work even with a rusty knife.
But Chen Lin felt that if he used the power of innate thunder, he should be able to forcibly pick the fruit.
But he did not act rashly.
First of all, I don’t know if the fruit picked by force will have the effect of improving my cultivation. I am also worried that it will cause some unpredictable danger.
The law of nightmare exists in the nightmare world, and those who break the rules with violence will be punished accordingly. This has been confirmed in the scene on Bluestone Street.
So the purpose of his coming in this time was to weed.
Weeding ten times can trigger a hidden task, so maybe a hundred times can also trigger it. He had this idea before, and also issued a task for the old cultivator to do, but no one has completed it yet, so he has to do it himself. Come and give it a try.
It just so happens that Yang Zhengmao needs to consolidate his Nascent Soul cultivation during this period. It is impossible to enter this scene within a year. No one competes with him for the right to enter, and he has plenty of time.
There were not many weeds to begin with, but with Chen Lin’s strength, they were quickly cleared away.
He came to the direction of the wooden door again, looked at the sleeping black dog, and then returned to reality.
A year passed in a flash.
Yang Qianxing and others still haven't found the other two triangular bone fragments.
In order to intensify the search, everyone decided after discussion to make the matter of the Tongtian Secret Realm public and let all the monks join in the search, otherwise it will be too slow for them alone.
This decision was really helpless, but Chen Lin agreed very much, and it was he who suggested it.
He wants to enter the Secret Realm of Heaven just to find the Door of Truth. He doesn’t care about the treasures inside. Even if the World-Destroying Sword is inside, he may not fight for it, because the World-Destroying Sword and the God of Thunder After the sword is fused, it will become the original Yuan Lei Nirvana Sword. He is worried that it will affect Xiaocao and even cause Xiaocao's spiritual consciousness to dissipate.
Therefore, we have to wait until Xiaocao wakes up to determine the situation regarding the World-Destroying Sword.
Since we don’t want to compete for the treasures inside, it doesn’t matter how many people go in. The real door is a crack in space, which will not dissipate because of the number of people. On the contrary, the more people there are, the more chaotic it will be. If Hua Ruyu really appears , can also interfere with the other party's attention.
After the decision was made, it was still up to Yang Qianxing and others to spread the news, while he continued to complete the weeding task.
A few months later.
Orchard.
Chen Lin's figure appeared.
After working on and off for so long, I finally managed to weed one hundred times.
It is true that the weeds in this orchard grow too slowly. It takes several days to grow some. He cannot hoe the soil directly when there is no grass.
Brush brush brush.
Chen Lin's figure flashed, and in less than a stick of incense, he cleaned up some of the newly grown weeds.
Then he came to the black dog.
But after waiting for a long time, the black dog didn't open its eyes.
This made his face darken. After working for so long, did he not meet the requirements of the hidden mission?
"What do you call me?"
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Lin cupped his hands towards the big black dog and spoke tentatively.
However, the other party ignored him.
After thinking for a while, he took out the shepherding order and said: "I am the shepherding order of Baiyun Ranch. I am a first-class official. I would like to meet the owner of the orchard. Is it convenient?"
The shepherding order was displayed for a while, but the black dog remained unmoved.
Seeing this, Chen Lin's eyes flashed and he took a step forward.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura emanated from the big black dog, and the dog's eyes slowly opened.
His heart trembled, and he took back his step.
The pressure this dog puts on him far exceeds that of the silver-armored generals on Qingshi Changjie. It is difficult to judge the specific strength, but it is definitely beyond the Hedao level!
"Haha, don't get me wrong, I have no intention of going out."
Chen Lin laughed dryly, and then slowly backed away. He relaxed after seeing the black dog closing his eyes again. Take a breath.
I retreated to the inside of the orchard before stopping, frowning and thinking. It seems that if he wants to break the rules, he is not strong enough, so he has to abide by the rules. He doesn't know what the situation is outside the orchard, and who owns it. Even a watchdog is so powerful.
At least it is a silver level scene.
Chen Lin secretly speculated.
Some clues about the level of the scene can be seen from the strength of the creatures inside. With his current cultivation method, the creatures in ordinary scenes no longer pose much of a threat to him.
But similarly, the items in low-level scenes are useless to him.
Therefore, apart from finding nodes, ordinary scenes have no meaning in exploring.
After the weeding mission failed, Chen Lin was extremely depressed, but he did not leave directly. Instead, he came to a fruit tree on the edge.
There is only one fruit on this fruit tree, and it is dull. The leaves have begun to turn yellow, and there are obvious signs of insect damage on the trunk.
Obviously, the tree is sick.
Chen Lin circled around the tree, looking thoughtful.
He has been paying attention to this tree for a long time, and its condition is getting worse and worse. If it continues like this, it may die in two or three years.
Of course, whether the fruit trees are dead or not has nothing to do with him. His idea is that since weeding can trigger hidden tasks, then pest control should be okay.
Now that the experiment of weeding a hundred times has failed, it is a good idea to try this. Otherwise, this scene will be explored in vain for so long.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin mobilized his soul power to use his Soul-Destroying Finger, minimizing the power and pointing it at the tree trunk.
No response.
This tree trunk seems to have a membrane that prevents soul power from penetrating into its interior.
I tried increasing the power, but it was still the same.
If the soul-destroying finger didn't work, then other soul techniques would be even less effective. There was no need to try again. He immediately mobilized his innate power, put his hand on the tree trunk, and tried to inject it.
It will be a happy moment.
The membrane that can block the soul power has no resistance to the innate power and is easily injected. Moreover, he can also understand the situation inside the tree trunk based on the feedback of the innate power.
Sure enough, there were a lot of little black bugs inside.
These bugs are covered with tiny scales and have two red tentacles on their heads. They are currently using their tentacles to dig into the tree trunk.
With the excavation, some energy in the trunk seemed to be absorbed by the tentacles, causing the trunks wherever they passed to become rotten.
A bug felt the innate force's detection, and suddenly became alert. Its body instantly shrank into a ball, and began to roll rapidly inside the trunk, as if it was escaping.
As soon as it moved, other bugs were also panicked. They also curled up and rolled around, scurrying around in the trunk.
Chen Lin discovered that as the insects rolled around, the vitality of the fruit trees quickly weakened, and they dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This made his heart tremble.
If you kill the tree, let alone trigger the hidden mission to get rewards, I'm afraid you will be severely punished.
Not daring to neglect, he immediately mobilized his innate thunder power and hit an insect.
The insect's body stiffened and then turned into a small pile of ashes.
Seeing that the attack was effective, Chen Lin stopped holding back, controlled the intensity of the thunder, and struck accurately at the bugs inside.
In fact, it would be more efficient to clean the fruit tree as a whole, but then the tree would probably be useless. With the overbearing power of the innate thunder, it would be turned into coke from top to bottom.
So I can only clean it up a little bit, but I don’t dare to use too much force.
Originally, he did not have enough control over the power of innate thunder, and it was very difficult to deal with it. Fortunately, after the tree trunk was injected with the weak power of thunder, the insects inside were paralyzed and no longer ran around causing damage to the tree trunk. Destruction, however, avoids the danger of the fruit trees dying.
It took half an hour for Chen Lin, who was sweating profusely, to eliminate the last bug.
At the same time, a dull voice sounded in his ears.
"Congratulations on completing the hidden task of deworming the fruit trees and getting a high-quality fruit, which you can pick by yourself."
Chen Lin's expression moved and he removed his hand from the trunk.
Excellent fruit?
He looked puzzled. When Yang Zhengmao received the reward before, he did not mention the word "exquisite". It seems that the reward for removing insects is higher than that for weeding.
But the fruit trees here are all the same, and the fruits on them are the same. How to tell whether they are high-quality ones?
To figure this out, he immediately came to the big black dog again.
He cupped his hands and asked his doubts: "May I ask your Excellency, how to pick the fine fruits?"
The big black dog raised his eyelids and made an indifferent sound.
“Pick whatever you like. The difference between high-quality fruits is that the core has vitality and can be cultivated.”
After saying that, he closed his eyes and looked like he wouldn't answer any more questions.
Chen Lin looked shocked.
Can it be cultivated?
Does this mean that this kind of fruit tree can be cultivated outside?
If so, the value is too great!
