Chapter 479 Stealing the Fairy Fruit
Gu Qi frowned slightly, with a look of urgency and cunning, and asked in a low voice: "Should we steal or wait until they finish fighting and then rob them?"
Gu Er stared at the people in the distance with deep eyes, and said slowly: "Wait until they make a move first, then we will steal."
Gu Shisan's face was filled with worry, his brows knitted into the shape of a "川" character, and he said, "Can it work? We can't see through their cultivation level, it should be much higher than ours."
Gu Er still stared at the fruit tree in the distance that exuded a rich spiritual energy, and said confidently: "It should be possible. Generally, the more precious spiritual medicines are guarded by powerful monsters."
As long as we wait for them to fight to the point of being defeated on both sides, we can reap the benefits.
Huang Xiner stood aside, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she clapped her hands excitedly, "So many, after completing the task, the remaining can be sold to those alchemists."
Yan Xiao frowned, looking serious, and reminded worriedly: "It is better to be careful. If it is so easy to succeed, it will not be rated as an S-level mission."
He was well aware of the risks involved; every S-level mission contained countless hidden dangers.
Huang Xiner shook her head nonchalantly and said willfully: "Just give it a try and you'll know."
As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't wait to take out a whip from the space. The whip was crystal clear and flashed with a faint blue light.
She exerted force on her wrist and sent out a stream of spiritual power in the direction of the fairy fruit tree. The spiritual power was like a blue lightning that cut through the quiet air.
Just as the spiritual power was about to fall on the fairy fruit tree, suddenly, a strong flame shot up from the tree into the sky. The flame was as red as blood, and the scorching temperature instantly burned and distorted the surrounding air.
With a loud bang, the flames directly dispersed the spiritual power, turning it into countless points of light that dissipated in the air.
Immediately afterwards, a red mini tiger jumped down from the tree. The moment it landed, its body quickly grew larger, and then returned to its original form in the blink of an eye.
The fire demon tiger was huge, more than two people tall, and the red hair on its body was like burning flames, and each strand seemed to contain endless power.
It roared towards the sky, the sound was deafening, as if it would shake down the entire forest, and the surrounding trees were trembling in this roar.
Seeing this, Lin Rongqian couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh no, it's a sixth-level beast, the Fire Demon Tiger!"
Huang Xiner still had no intention of backing down and shouted loudly: "What are you afraid of? We have six people."
Song Jiangmo also took out a long sword without hesitation. The long sword was flashing with cold light, and the sword body was engraved with mysterious runes.
He shouted, "Go." With this order, six figures rushed towards the sixth-level divine beast like arrows.
The Fire Demon Tiger was immediately enraged when he saw these people dared to rush forward without knowing what was good for them.
It roared again, and pawed the ground with its four hooves, raising a cloud of dust. It rushed towards the crowd like a burning fireball. A fierce battle began.
Gu Er's eyes were fixed on the majestic Fire Demon Tiger in the distance and the several people who were fighting fiercely against it.
He slightly turned his body, put his mouth close to Gu Qi and Gu San, and said in an almost inaudible voice: "Activate the concealment formation given by the young master."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qi immediately understood what he meant and quickly took out a small and exquisite formation ball from his space ring.
Gu Qi held the formation ball tightly in both hands, his eyes revealing concentration and tension.
In an instant, a faint light emanated from the formation ball, like water waves, quickly enveloping the three of them.
As the dim light enveloped them, the figures of the three people gradually became blurred, and finally completely disappeared into the air.
After successfully hiding, the three did not take action immediately.
After a while, making sure that they had not attracted anyone's attention, they began to move cautiously towards the fairy fruit tree.
Their footsteps were as light as cats, and each step made almost no sound.
Gu Er landed first, his eyes fixed on the fairy fruit tree, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he whispered, "Loosen the soil."
Gu Shisan was slightly stunned, his eyes full of surprise, and he couldn't help asking: "You want to move everything away?"
Gu Qi said, "If we move away, the young master will definitely like it."
Gu Shisan frowned, looking embarrassed, and said helplessly: "But our space ring cannot store living things."
After hearing this, Gu Er frowned tightly into the shape of a "川" character. After thinking for a moment, he sighed helplessly: "Forget it, pick all the fruits first."
"Okay." Gu Qi and Gu Shisan responded in unison, and then the three of them quickly began to act separately.
They each took out an invisibility talisman from their pockets and activated it and stuck it on their bodies. The invisibility talisman instantly emitted a faint light, enveloping their figures and causing them to gradually disappear into the air.
Then, they climbed up the fairy fruit tree silently like three nimble monkeys.
On the tree, they carefully moved among the branches and leaves, every movement was slow and cautious, for fear of making the slightest sound.
Their hands were like nimble butterflies, picking the plump fairy fruits quickly and accurately and putting them into the space rings they carried with them.
At the same time, they would raise their heads from time to time, vigilantly observing the battle situation in the distance.
On the other side, the fierce battle is entering a white-hot stage.
Huang Xiner was fighting fiercely with the Fire Demon Tiger. The Fire Demon Tiger's huge body was like a small mountain, and every attack was accompanied by a whistling sound of the wind.
Suddenly, the Fire Demon Tiger let out an earth-shaking roar, jumped high, and slapped Huang Xiner hard with its right claw, bringing with it a fierce gust of wind.
Huang Xiner was unable to dodge and was hit hard on the chest by the claw. She flew backwards like a kite with its string cut, and hit the ground heavily, raising a cloud of dust.
With a "puff" sound, Huang Xiner spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the ground in front of her red.
Her face turned pale as paper in an instant, and her eyes were filled with pain and unwillingness.
She endured the severe pain in her chest, tremblingly took out a jade bottle from her bosom, poured out a pill, and swallowed it quickly.
As the pill entered her stomach, a warm current slowly spread throughout her body, and her expression eased a little.
Huang Xiner was just about to stand up again, join the battle and lend a helping hand to others when she inadvertently looked up at the fairy fruit tree.
When she saw this, her eyes widened instantly, and a look of disbelief appeared on her face. "Someone stole the fairy fruit." She shouted at the top of her lungs.
This shout was like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, instantly breaking the rhythm of the battle.
