Chapter 169: The Tree of the Dead, a rich harvest, three plans
Chapter 169: The Undead Tree, a rich harvest, the three families plan
Fu Changsheng and Shangguan Hongyu's target was Caiyun Valley, so they did not stop along the way. If they encountered monsters, they would avoid them if possible. If there was a fight between cultivators, they would take a detour in advance.
Ten days later.
A canyon shaped like clouds in the sky comes into view.
The red water lilies all over the hills outside the canyon make Caiyun Valley even more colorful.
Fu Changsheng and Shangguan Hongyu spent several days exploring Caiyun Valley, and finally chose to set up an ambush formation at the exit of the back mountain of Cailan Valley.
First, this place is rather remote.
Secondly, this place is the closest to Caiyun Valley, which can make the three-flowered demon butterfly relax its vigilance. Another important point is that it can quickly lure the three-flowered demon butterfly here, and the autumn cicada used as bait is also safer.
All you can see in the back mountain of Caiyun Valley are shrubs.
Shangguan Hongyu happened to be carrying a set of bush formations, which was just right for the purpose.
Fu Changsheng saw that the other party was busy setting up the formation and said:
"Miss Hongyu, I'm going to Caiyun Valley to see what's going on inside."
“Yes, but you must be careful.”
"it is good"
Fu Changsheng performed an invisibility spell, and the cloud boots under his feet glowed with spiritual light. He arrived at the edge of Caiyun Valley at an extremely fast speed. However, what he saw was a canyon full of clouds and fog, which completely obscured the inside and could not be detected by the naked eye.
Fortunately, his spiritual awareness is strong enough.
When he used his spiritual sense to detect it, the scene before him really surprised him.
Because the entire canyon was filled with two-flowered demon butterflies. These demon beasts, in the form of butterflies, had human faces and two velvet flowers growing on their heads. They were frolicking around the undead tree.
The Undead Tree in the valley blocked out the sun and was dozens of feet high, covering the entire canyon tightly, and two three-flowered demon butterflies were squatting on the treetops.
Take a closer look.
But I saw dozens of ripe undead fruits on the undead tree.
The two-flowered demon butterflies were all drooling with desire, but none of them dared to approach the second-grade, mid-quality undead fruit.
Observed carefully for a while.
Only then did Fu Changsheng retreat quietly.
When returning to the original position, Shangguan Hongyu had already completed the arrangement of the bush array. No trace of it could be found either with the naked eye or with spiritual sense.
Shangguan Hongyu nodded slightly when she saw Fu Changsheng return:
"Changsheng, what's the situation in the canyon?"
"It's the same as what you said. There are two second-stage mid-stage Three-Flower Demon Butterflies, and the rest are first-stage strength. However, there are still 26 undead fruits on the tree, 10 of which are intact. Most of the essence of the remaining 16 has been absorbed by the Three-Flower Demon Butterflies."
Even if they split it equally.
Each person has five, which is enough for him to break through to the sixth level of foundation building.
Shangguan Hongyu heard this and slapped her storage bag with her right hand, and a few more battle flags appeared in her hand:
"Changsheng, then you can have your ghost servant prepare, and I will set up the sound blocking formation in my hand."
talking.
A wave of sleeves.
One flag after another fell.
Accompanied by the chanting of magic spells.
There was a humming sound and the flag shone with a faint light, then disappeared.
Fu Changsheng flipped his right hand, and the Human Emperor Banner appeared in his hand. He waved it lightly, and a gust of cold wind blew. Qiu Chan, dressed in white, flashed out. On the way, Fu Changsheng had mentioned this matter to Qiu Chan. When exploring Caiyun Valley just now, he also let Qiu Chan see the situation inside.
Qiu Chan bowed.
Without Fu Changsheng's instructions, he immediately flashed and floated towards Caiyun Valley.
Fu Changsheng and Shangguan Hongyu hid in the formation.
Half a cup of tea passed.
From the direction of Caiyun Valley, a hissing sound like the sound of a snake was heard.
Followed by.
But Qiu Chan rushed out of the valley with a branch of the Undead Fruit in his hand, and there was a Undead Fruit hanging on the branch.
behind her.
The two three-flowered demon butterflies roared continuously.
Hot pursuit.
The distance is getting closer.
Baizhang.
Eighty feet.
Thirty feet.
Two feet.
next moment.
But then I saw bright rays of light rising from the bushes. With a bang, the bush array was instantly activated, and the sound-screening array also lit up soon after.
Shangguan Hongyu was seen performing some magic spells.
The two three-flowered demon butterflies that entered the formation were instantly separated by the moving bushes.
Delay will lead to change!
Fu Changsheng, who was hiding in the formation, immediately cast a spell into the Hunyuan Bowl. With a humming sound, a beam of aurora shot towards the Three-Flower Demon Butterfly at an extremely fast speed.
Otherwise.
A strange scene appeared.
As the three-flowered demon butterfly flapped its wings, there was a bang, and one identical three-flowered demon butterfly appeared after another. Each of them had the strength of a mid-second stage, at least it looked like that, and it was impossible to tell where the other one was for a moment.
boom!
The aurora directly passed through a three-flowered demon butterfly.
The dots of red light dissipated.
"Not an entity!"
Fu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
No wonder so many people don't come to this Colorful Butterfly Valley. This three-flowered demon butterfly is really weird. Using the strongest attack in the current situation is obviously unrealistic when there are multiple targets:
"It's a good opportunity to try out the power of the Third Level Precious Lotus Lantern."
Fu Changsheng had an idea.
Green light surged.
The Three-turn Precious Lotus Lantern in his body suddenly floated in front of him.
As he injected a spell into the Three-Turn Precious Lotus Lamp, there was a bang and the lamp suddenly lit up with a flame. He pinched a seal with his right hand, pinched a flower, and flicked his index finger.
The flames that seemed to be about to be extinguished at any time sank into the formation.
It fell as he chanted a spell.
boom!
The flames suddenly turned into blazing flames, transformed into a fire net, and pounced towards the three-flowered demon butterfly below at an extremely fast speed.
"Zizzizi!"
The phantoms of the three-flowered demon butterflies then disappeared.
The three-flowered demon butterfly hiding in the corner suddenly revealed its true form.
A sneer flashed across Fu Changsheng's lips, and he activated the Hunyuan Bowl in his hand again. Buzz, the aurora shot towards the center of the eyebrows of the Three-Flower Demon Butterfly.
"sizzle"
The three-flowered demon butterfly made inhuman sounds.
But then a red flower on its head broke out of its body and protected it.
boom!
The aurora falls on the red flowers.
The red flowers are annihilated.
The three-flowered demon butterfly that had escaped the disaster flapped its wings, and the next moment it flew precisely to where Fu Changsheng was hiding, and at the same time its small mouth suddenly opened:
"Roar!"
The rolling sound waves turned into a ringing bell, instantly enveloping Fu Changsheng.
A smile of success appeared on the face of the Three-Flower Demon Butterfly. Just as it was about to activate the Sound Bell to refine Fu Changsheng, suddenly, the sound of an electric drill was heard from the Bell.
Buzz!
Just two breaths.
boom!
The sound of the bell suddenly dissipated.
Fu Changsheng and Qiu Chan rushed out, Qiu Chan opened his mouth and moved:
"Roar!"
The soul-spinning wave was activated instantly.
At such a close distance, the Three-Flower Demon Butterfly had no way to escape. The red flower on its head fell off again, protecting it, and at the same time it felt like retreating.
boom!
The red flowers collapsed.
The three-flowered demon butterfly, with only a red flower left on its head, flapped its wings, turned around and dived into the ground, trying to escape.
But when the battle becomes tense.
Running away is a big taboo!
boom!
But a ray of purple divine light instantly passed through its back the moment it turned around. This time, the speed was so fast that the Three-Flower Demon Butterfly did not even have time to use the red flower on its head to prolong its life.
Bang.
The corpse of the three-flowered demon butterfly fell heavily to the ground.
The autumn cicada was suspended above its head. It opened its mouth and a suction force was emitted. The beast soul of the three-flowered demon butterfly was instantly extracted and swallowed into its stomach.
Fu Changsheng looked at the battlefield on the other side.
But Hongyu was seen holding a plum branch in the air and slashing at the Three-Flower Demon Butterfly, which had no red flowers left. With a bang, the head of the Three-Flower Demon Butterfly was instantly beaten into a paste.
Fu Changsheng saw this.
His eyes fell on the corpse of the three-flowered demon butterfly.
Right hand pinch.
A spell fell into the belly of the Three-Flower Demon Butterfly. After a while, a thumb-sized demon pill slowly flew out. Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up with joy. At the same time, he waved his sleeves and put the corpse of the Three-Flower Demon Butterfly into his pocket.
The essence and blood of the three-flowered demon butterfly can be used to make talismans.
Also.
Its pair of wings can be refined by Runzhi into a flying magic weapon.
As for the effect of the red flower on its head, he still needs to study it. If the whole corpse is sold in the market, it will be worth three or four thousand spirit stones.
The whole fight.
Because of the sound-blocking array, no sound was heard.
After Fu Changsheng broke through to the foundation-building stage, it was the first time Shangguan Hongyu saw him fight. His methods were quick and decisive, even more powerful than hers. She was really impressed:
"Changsheng, let's go in and pick the fruit of the dead."
After collecting the magic circle.
The two arrived at the canyon again.
At this time, the two-flowered demon butterflies were still floating up and down in the canyon, but because they were no longer suppressed by the two second-level three-flowered demon butterflies, they had gathered around the undead fruit, each of them radiating golden light. If it weren't for the residual power of the three-flowered demon butterflies, they would have been unable to resist swallowing it by now.
Shangguan Hongyu made hand gestures.
But I saw plum blossoms falling into the valley.
The plum blossoms trembled slightly.
It turned into baskets, and when the baskets flew under the undead fruit, the fruit fell with a sound. "Buzz!"
The other two-flowered butterflies were instantly frightened.
They all rushed towards the flower basket.
But their speed cannot compare with the flower basket.
In a blink of an eye.
The flower basket fell into Shangguan Hongyu's hands.
Shangguan Hongyu said with some regret:
"This undead tree needs the nourishment of the demon butterfly's feces, otherwise it will not survive. Otherwise, transplanting this undead tree back will also be a good harvest."
after all.
If this undead tree is cultivated well.
It will bloom and bear fruit once every ten years. Even if you can't use it yourself, giving it to your tribe members or selling it to others will also bring you a good income.
The Erhua Demon Butterfly quickly caught up.
Shangguan Hongyu said:
"Changsheng, let's go."
"Miss Hongyu, wait for me for a moment."
Fu Changsheng looked at the densely packed two-flowered demon butterflies with a smile on his face. He waved his sleeves and the Cloud Ring Purple Fairy Tower suddenly appeared.
Accompanied by a series of spells, they were cast into the Yunhuan Zixian Tower.
The door to the first floor of the tower burst open.
At the same time, a suction force crashed into the group of two-flowered demon butterflies.
These clustered two-flowered demon butterflies screamed continuously, trying to break free, but were instantly absorbed into the pagoda. Fu Changsheng retracted his spell, and the pagoda flashed with spiritual light, turning into the size of a palm again and falling into Fu Changsheng's arms.
Shangguan Hongyu's eyes flashed with surprise:
"Changsheng, you actually have a magical weapon specifically for capturing monsters!"
“Lucky Gain”
Fu Changsheng smiled.
talking.
The body swayed into the canyon.
He immediately performed the Five Spirits Moving Technique and dug up the undead tree in the canyon. The undead tree continued to shrink and was sealed in a box by Fu Changsheng.
at the same time.
A familiar mechanical voice rang in his mind:
"Ding"
"You have added a considerable number of two-flowered demon butterflies and a second-level mid-quality undead tree to the clan, and obtained 410 contribution points."
Followed by.
The family contribution value on the panel instantly changed from seven hundred and ten to one thousand one hundred and twenty.
Looking at the contribution value that had returned to four digits, Fu Changsheng's smile deepened.
After the two of them moved away from the canyon.
Shangguan Hongyu handed five undead fruits to Fu Changsheng.
Fu Changsheng pushed the two back:
"Hongyu, you were the one who discovered this undead tree, and you were the one who set up the magic circle to kill the three-flowered demon butterfly, so you get the biggest share."
He also obtained an extra undead tree and a group of two-flowered demon butterflies. One should not be too greedy.
Shangguan Hongyu shook her head and refused:
"Your Fu family is in urgent need of spiritual stones right now. If you have any extra, you can sell these undead fruits at the market to make up for the loss. You can tell me about the opportunity at Duolong Lake. It is far more than two undead fruits can repay. It would be even more embarrassing if you don't accept it."
That’s all.
Fu Changsheng didn't hesitate and accepted it generously.
The two looked towards the direction of Duolong Lake.
This place is less than ten miles away from them.
Fu Changsheng said:
"Miss Hongyu, you just set up the formation and fought, and your mana has been consumed too much. Please stay where you are. I will go to the edge of Duolong Lake to find out something."
"That's fine, but just in case, Changsheng, remember not to enter Duolong Lake."
"Yes, I know"
Fu Changsheng didn't plan to get close to the edge of Duolong Lake. His purpose in volunteering this time was very clear, which was to use the system to refresh the information when he was about the same distance from Duolong Lake.
Such a close distance.
He believed that the intelligence would be able to update relevant information.
Duolong Lake.
A man in a black robe flashed and entered the lake. As he made some incantations, the pass token in his hand lit up and a beam of light fell in front of him. However, ripples flashed across the empty void. The man in a black robe flashed and entered the magic circle.
at this time.
In the magic circle.
But all I could hear was a constant rumbling sound.
However, he saw a famous formation master from the Gongsun family constantly urging the formation flags and formation plates to fall into a light curtain filled with yellow sand in front of him. The light curtain surged, and from time to time, wild beasts appeared.
The array master conducted repeated experiments.
But in the end, he failed to break the magic circle in front of him.
Before the magic circle.
The small houses were built side by side.
It seems.
The Gongsun family seems to have lived here for many years.
The man in black robe arrived at the main door very quickly, and a slightly vicissitudes of life voice sounded from inside:
"Come in"
The man in black robe entered the room with his head lowered.
But I saw an old man with white beard sitting cross-legged in the room.
The black-robed man lowered his head even lower:
"Reporting to the Great Elder, I just found Shangguan Hongyu from Anyang County and Fu Changsheng from Yunshan County in Caiyun Valley. The two are now less than ten miles away from Duolong Lake. Please tell me whether we should send someone to eliminate them?"
The Great Elder slowly opened his eyes.
The magic circle of this ancient monk's residence can be broken in two years.
If he kills Shangguan Hongyu and the other person now, Fu Changsheng will be fine as he is just a nobody. However, Shangguan Hongyu is the sweetheart of that old man Shangguan Feng. If Shangguan Feng goes crazy, he might expose this place.
The Gongsun family has invested more than ten years of manpower and resources here.
Quick eyes and you're done.
Of course, it is better to have less trouble than more.
The great elder said calmly:
"Continue to observe. If they are just stopping outside to rest, there is no need to take action. If they step into the outer cordon of Duolong Lake, kill them immediately without mercy."
"Yes, Great Elder"
The man in black robe took the order and left.
the other side.
After Fu Changsheng and Shangguan Hongyu said goodbye.
Cast invisibility.
But when he was about a hundred feet away, he saw that Shangguan Hongyu could not see him and could not scan him with her spiritual sense, so he immediately hid in a Qingcang tree.
Then the thought came:
"Exchange Information"
hum!
The panel vibrates.
A large amount of yellow light surged.
Followed by.
Lines of text appeared:
[1: Ten miles ahead of you, the ancient monk's mansion hidden in the Duolong Lake has been covered by a magic array set up by the Gongsun family, and they have even sent special personnel to defend this place. If you move forward another five miles, you will be ambushed by the Gongsun family's foundation-building monks who are beheaded here. The Gongsun family has been studying this ancient monk's mansion for more than ten years. In two years, this magic array will be successfully broken.]
[2: This ancient monk’s residence is divided into two layers, inner and outer. It is the paradise of the ancient monks.]
[3: The Shangguan family has accumulated a lot of experience. Under the leadership of Shangguan Feng, when your Fu family is promoted to a ninth-grade family, there will be two ninth-grade families in the Shangguan family's fiefdom. The Shangguan family will have achieved the last condition for promotion to an eighth-grade family.]
[4: Shangguan Hongyu is extremely talented in formations and has successfully broken through to the second-stage late-stage formation master]
【5:.】
A total of ten pieces of information were exchanged.
However, the subsequent intelligence information was harmless.
At this time, the contribution value on the panel became one thousand one hundred.
Fu Changsheng carefully read the first three pieces of information, especially the first one. He couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine after reading it.
Never imagined.
The Gongsun family actually attached so much importance to this ancient cultivator's mansion. This means that the ruins of this cave residence are even more important than he imagined.
Moreover, it was fortunate that he did not rashly go to investigate just now.
Otherwise, I’m afraid my life would be in danger by now.
After calming down.
A look of contemplation flashed across Fu Changsheng's face.
If only the eighth-rank Gongsun family entered this ancient cultivator's mansion, then he, as a small shrimp, would naturally be no match for the powerful. But if the Shangguan family were allowed to intervene, that would be a different matter.
He didn't expect that the Shangguan family had already met the conditions for promotion to the eighth rank.
But I don’t know what the criteria for promotion to an eighth-rank family are.
I stayed at the Qingcang tree for quite a while.
I guess it's almost time.
Only then did Fu Changsheng turn back.
Shangguan Hongyu was relieved to see him return safely. She was about to say something, but saw Fu Changsheng shook his head almost imperceptibly. Shangguan Hongyu immediately swallowed the words back.
The two men came out from the Shiwan Mountains.
Parting time.
Fu Changsheng then gave Shangguan Hongyu a golden envelope:
"Miss Hongyu, you can read the contents of the brocade bag when you return to Tianlong City."
So mysterious.
This aroused Shangguan Hongyu's curiosity even more.
My mind was racing.
I know there is probably something fishy going on with Duolong Lake.
He nodded quickly.
Tianlong City and Luofeng Mountain are in two different directions. After the two said goodbye, Shangguan Hongyu returned to Tianlong City, entered the secret room, opened the magic circle, and then she couldn't wait to open the brocade bag.
There was a piece of paper placed in the brocade bag, and the handwriting on it was exactly Fu Changsheng's. When Shangguan Hongyu saw the content, her body was shocked!
