Chapter 883 Chapter 114: The Impatient Soul Dies
In the boundless wilderness, a spiritual tree with branches and leaves like flying flames hangs in the air, and its dense root system plunges into the ground like water.
After another half an hour, many light spots suddenly appeared on it, all of which were a very dazzling red color, and there was a faint hint of bluish white from the center. At first it was just a little, and then it gradually expanded until it looked like an adult. It is about the size of a man's fist, round in shape, with a crystal-clear outer shell. It is shaped into a round fruit with five or six inches of tiny vines hanging on it, hanging from the tree.
After the Lihuo Lingguo matures, the fire that blows towards your face also carries a hint of sweetness, making people excited!
“The spiritual fruit is ripe, so let me take one first!”
On the deck of the giant boat, I suddenly heard someone laughing loudly. He immediately jumped up and fled towards the Lihuo Spirit Tree. Everyone exclaimed and looked at the man intently, only to see that he had pale, messy hair and extremely simple clothes. He looked like an old man in his sixties, and his cultivation was also in the realm of a true infant.
This person stood up from his seat. Listening to the conversations of the people on the left and right, it can be seen that he should be a casual cultivator walking near Fengjian City. He usually has some reputation and is not considered an unknown person.
He rushed out eagerly because he saw that there were not many fruits on the spiritual tree, barely more than a hundred. Compared with the tens of thousands of monks on the giant boat, this number can be said to be more monks than meat. He was afraid that he would be slower than others and return empty-handed in the end, so he wanted to take the lead and at least get a spiritual fruit in his hand. .
The elder Nanyin Sect Qiu above naturally took this scene into his eyes. There was a bit of cold sarcasm in his eyes. He saw that there were many monks on the giant boat, all of whom were in trouble because of the action of this old casual cultivator. Scratching their hearts and lungs, they all jumped out of the boat and followed closely behind the old man, wishing they could drive him past so that they could pick the spiritual fruit earlier. Elder Qiu sneered in his heart, but he had no intention of stopping him.
There were tens of thousands of monks on the boat, and there were three to four hundred people jumping out in this group. Because the old casual cultivator was moving the fastest, he was the one leading the charge at this moment.
"Ah!"
A scream struck everyone's hearts like a bell. Hearing the sound, the monks on the boat immediately opened their eyes and looked forward, only to see the old casual cultivator rushing ahead on the Escape Light. , was suddenly swallowed up by a fire. The rolling flames burned straight from his feet. Before he could even take a breath, they rushed to the top of his head, engulfing his body together with his screams. His skin and flesh were burned until they crackled, and turned into a handful of black ash. go!
The remaining soul of the old casual cultivator floated out, and he wanted to run back and forth in a hurry, but he didn't expect that the fire was like gangrene attached to the bones, and he couldn't get rid of it as long as it was tainted even a little bit. The old man's soul was Once the flame was swallowed up, it went out soon and disappeared completely.
There were forty or fifty monks following him, just a few steps behind the old man. They couldn't escape when the flames came, so each and every one of them took out the means to save their lives. He turned around anxiously and ran away, but was burned by the flames rising from his body. In a daze, he felt that his eyes were red, and then he lost consciousness and turned into a handful of ashes.
The last monk who followed was still far away, so he didn’t know what happened ahead. He only vaguely heard a few heart-piercing screams, and then saw that the monks in front of him all turned around and were panicked. The two groups of monks rushed back and forth, and the two groups of monks collided with each other, with sparks jumping, shouting, cursing, and crying sounds everywhere. It was just a chaotic scene!
When the fire gradually died down, there was no trace of the three to four hundred monks who had jumped out earlier. Most of them died under the wave of fire, with only a staggering figure escaping over. It turned out that he was not good at escaping. The first few hundred monks were almost at the spiritual tree, but he was still far away and could only barely see the backs of others. I thought that this time I would be unable to compete with others, but I never thought that it would be a blessing in disguise and I would eventually become the only one to save my life.
The monk was about to board the giant boat when a cry of surprise came from the deck. Four or five monks quickly stood up and stopped the man outside the boat. Afraid that others would not be able to see him, among the few monks who stopped him, someone immediately reached out to point at his sleeves. When everyone raised their eyes, they suddenly felt cold in their hearts, and their eyes suddenly became full of wariness, as if that man dared to approach the giant. If he takes one step forward, they will chop off his head.
Zhao Shun and others also lowered their eyes at this time, and saw that inside the man's right sleeve, a white arm was covered with burn marks, and there were dots of sparks on the skin and flesh. Jumping in time.
Looking at the tragic scene just now, all the monks already know in their hearts that Qingchen Lihuo is extremely terrifying. It only takes one and a half sparks to kill a person, and when it encounters a person, the sparks will bounce around like a madman. , causing the flames to spread quickly around, and it is still unknown whether the sparks carried by the man will change. If he is allowed to get on the boat and hurt others, wouldn't he also be in danger?
In the end, the monk who was blocked outside the boat could only grit his teeth secretly, use two fingers to make a blade light, and cut off his right arm that was burned by the flames before he could get on the giant boat. The severed right arm was quickly engulfed by sparks and turned into a small piece of dark charcoal, falling to the distant ground.
After this incident, all the monks coveted the Lihuo Spiritual Tree before, and now they are so afraid of it. Look at me and you, no one dares to come forward rashly, lest they be like those few Hundreds of monks lost their lives!
At this time, some keen people have discovered that the monks who had just rushed out of the giant boat and eagerly went to pick up the spiritual fruit were almost all people from the lower seats, and they were in the middle and upper curtains. The monks did not leave.
No matter how slow you are, you should have seen something now. These monks were still in shock, and tentatively looked at Elder Qiu who was hanging in the air with his hands behind his back. They couldn't help but ask: "May I ask this elder, your sect invited me to pick spiritual fruits, but around the spiritual tree, But the fire is really hard to resist. With this obstacle in front of us, how can we get close to the spiritual tree and pick the spiritual fruit?"
Elder Qiu moved to the front of the boat and gently stroked his long beard with one hand. The cold sarcasm in his eyes had disappeared, and his tone was somewhat relaxed and smiling.
"Don't be anxious, everyone. The spiritual fruit has just matured. I haven't been able to explain the method of picking spiritual fruit yet."
The implication is that the old casual cultivator and others are too anxious. , which led to today’s tragedy.
He raised his sleeves and waved, and the huge boat suddenly shook suddenly under everyone, and many light groups suddenly appeared in front of the deck. Counting them carefully, there were actually more than seventy or eighty, and the light After the group was dispersed, the contents were scattered out. Among them were various sizes, and a total of eighty-one fine iron scissors were obtained.
Nine of the iron scissors are particularly large, so they float alone above the other scissors. The iron scissors below are not much different in size.
