Chapter 19: The Red Fruit

Xiao Chen and Bai Ningshuang followed the tips of the bracelet and cautiously moved forward in this misty swamp, and walked for several days in a row, but they didn't encounter anything, which also made Xiao Chen breathe a sigh of relief.

"We're almost out of the outer edge of the Misty Swamp, and the show is about to begin." Ziling, who was looking at the lake in the pavilion, said with a slight smile.

Ziling gave them the bracelet to guide the route, although there will be chance, it is also accompanied by danger, if the strength is not enough, the judgment is wrong, or they do not grasp it, the opportunity will not be obtained.

After all, what Ziling wants is a capable person, not a cat or a dog.

"The fog here is even thicker, and now you can only see a few meters away." Xiao Chen frowned, vaguely guessing that they had gone deep into the Misty Swamp, and this place might be even more dangerous than before.

"The ground has softened!" Xiao Chen and Bai Ningshuang walked forward for a distance, and suddenly found that the ground they stepped on was no longer hard, but soft, and there was also suction, which made them sink down continuously, and only with spiritual power could they be temporarily relieved.

But this ground is no longer sucking, and it is replaced by absorbing the spiritual power under Xiao Chen's feet, and the speed makes Xiao Chen very surprised.

"Get out of here." Xiao Chen thought in his heart, and dragged Bai Ningshuang forward quickly.

Xiao Chen is very difficult to walk on this soft ground, but he can accept it, on the other hand, Bai Ningshuang, don't be too easy, the layers of cold air under his feet enter the ground, and the soft ground is covered with a layer of cold ice, and Bai Ningshuang can't feel the softness of the ground at all when he walks on it.

"Hey, there's really no comparison, there's no harm." Even if Bai Ningshuang had the ability to help Xiao Chen be as easy as her, Xiao Chen didn't let Bai Ningshuang do that.

This is also an assessment, and Xiao Chen has to complete it through his own efforts.

"Boom..."A deafening sound came, making Xiao Chen and the ground under their feet begin to tremble, and as the sound continued to come, the trembling of the ground became more and more intense, which made Xiao Chen have to condense more aura on his feet before he would stabilize his body.

As for Bai Ningshuang, it was like nothing, like a person, standing there quietly, in stark contrast to Xiao Chen.

After the rumble, there was a knock sound immediately after the entry, Xiao Chen, who was in the fog, didn't know what was going on, his face was solemn, and he looked around a lot, trying to judge what was probably going on by observing the surrounding environment.

"Xiao Chen, we're moving." Bai Ningshuang, who was next to Xiao Chen, spoke.

Xiao Chen nodded, he also discovered this situation, because the fog around them was no longer in a static state.

Xiao Chen just couldn't figure out why they moved, could it be the reason for the ground under their feet?

"It seems that they have walked to the back of the Spirit Devouring Beast, and the fruit on the back of the Zero Swallowing Beast is just right for him now, and it can help him quickly absorb the spiritual energy without any side effects, so that the spiritual veins he has just condensed are quickly filled with spiritual energy, and everyone else has also encountered their first opportunity, it depends on whether they can grasp it." Ziling, who has been observing those assessors, can roughly judge what they are experiencing at this time through the images transmitted from the lake, because their routes are all made by her, and she also has a general understanding of what they will encounter on the road.

As long as there are no accidents, the assessment in this misty swamp will be carried out according to her ideas, but accidents will happen every year.

After all, it is not controlled by manpower, there will be a lot of uncertain factors, for example, Xiao Chen and they will be taken there now, Ziling doesn't know, but as long as Xiao Chen and they finally move forward through the bracelet, they will eventually return to the route set by Ziling.

Although Xuzhou and Xu Si had a map provided by their family, they still chose to use Ziling's bracelet, because they knew that every time the examiner in charge of the assessment came from an amazing background, and Ziling herself said that only this bracelet could find her.

So at this time, Xuzhou and Xu Si were also separated, and they also encountered the first opportunity arranged by Ziling.

For those who participate in the assessment, the first opportunity is either the fruit, and some are the cave full of aura, in short, they are all things that are good for their cultivation, and everyone who wants to get the opportunity in front of them must first pass the test.

Just like Xuzhou, he encountered a spirit fruit that could improve the quality of the spirit vein, but there was a group of spirit beasts around the spirit fruit.

And Xu Si came across a spirit grass that could run, and if he wanted to catch it, he had to at least run past this spirit grass.

Wang Xiaoqiang came across a towering tree, and there was a bunch of bananas at the top of the tree, exuding a lot of aura, just wanting to get it was not just as simple as climbing a tree, but also being careful of the creatures that lived in the tree.

There were others as well, and the only one who didn't see the benefits was Xiao Chen, who clearly felt that they were moving faster and faster, as if something was running.

"Frost, we're probably standing on a creature." Xiao Chen thought of a possibility and said to Bai Ningshuang.

Bai Ningshuang also nodded in agreement, but her expression was calm and terrifying.

"Let's get out of here, since it's a creature, no matter how big it is, there will be an end." Xiao Chen found that they had deviated a lot from the route guided by the bracelet, so he said to Bai Ningshuang.

Xiao Chen and Bai Ningshuang quickly moved on the back of the Spirit Devouring Beast, in the opposite direction of the Spirit Devouring Beast's movement.

"The body is huge, the body is soft, and it can also absorb the aura of the martial artist, this seems to be a spirit devouring beast." Xiao Chen guessed in his heart what kind of creature they were in, and finally through various signs, Xiao Chen judged that this creature was a spirit devouring beast.

"Fortunately, I studied hard when I was a child." Xiao Chen's eyes flickered, he was a little excited, his speed slowed down, and he told Bai Ningshuang his guess.

"We don't need to worry, this creature is a spirit devouring beast nine times out of ten, he is not aggressive, he will just devour the aura of the martial artist, as long as the aura in our body is not exhausted, there will be no danger."

"And this spirit devouring beast will also produce a red spirit fruit, which can not only quickly restore the spiritual energy we consumed, but also quickly fill the spiritual vein I just condensed with spiritual energy, so that I can condense the next spiritual vein."

This kind of fruit is just right for Xiao Chen now, he is eager to improve his strength, but as long as the spiritual vein that has just been condensed is not completely opened up and filled with spiritual energy, he will not be able to condense the next spiritual vein.

Now that there is finally something to solve this problem, how could Xiao Chen not be excited.

"Then how do we find that red spirit fruit?" Bai Ningshuang asked.

"It's simple, we just need to go to the place where the spiritual energy is absorbed the fastest." Xiao Chen still knows more about spirit devouring beasts.

The two of them were not in a hurry to leave here, but began to look for the red fruit that had borne on the spirit devouring beast.

In the process of searching, Xiao Chen once again sighed at the huge size of this Spirit Swallowing Beast, and judged that the Spirit Swallowing Beast they were in was a mature Spirit Swallowing Beast that had lived for an unknown amount of time, so as long as no martial artist had come before, there would definitely be a lot of red fruits here.

This made Xiao Chen even more excited and looking forward to it.

As the suction under their feet became stronger and stronger, Xiao Chen was getting closer and closer to their destination, and when Xiao Chen was almost sucked up half of the spiritual power in his body, they finally saw the red low-grade fruit.

This made Xiao Chen breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that the fruit here had been trampled by others.

Looking at the patches of red fruits, Xiao Chen also laughed happily, feeling that he was so lucky to be able to encounter such a good thing, when collecting the fruits, Xiao Chen's smile never disappeared.

"Sometimes, it's good to go out of the house and do things." Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, humming a little song and happily collecting the red fruits, completely ignoring the fact that he was rapidly absorbing the aura in his body.

Bai Ningshuang also accompanied Xiao Chen to collect it, and the two of them quickly collected all the red fruits on the spirit devouring beast.

"Brother Spirit Devouring Beast, we can be regarded as doing you a favor, the old ones don't come if they don't go to the new, not to mention that this fruit is useless to you, it's just an ornament, it's better for me to make them play their due role and let them shine." Xiao Chen said happily.

The Spirit Devouring Beast seemed to hear Xiao Chen's words, and suddenly a roar resounded through the heavens and the earth, shaking Xiao Chen's ears painfully.

This made Xiao Chen unhappy: "Hey, I've let you suck up so much aura, I'm also very angry, okay, let's exchange it at an equal price, besides, you have to do something, stay still honestly, maybe I won't be able to guess what you are, in that case, I won't be able to find these fruits, it's not because you messed around yourself." ”

I don't know if this spirit swallowing beast heard Xiao Chen's words, or didn't hear it, the frequency of the body shaking was even faster, and the amplitude became much larger.

In the end, Xiao Chen and Bai Ningshuang were shaken down, and it turned out that the place where this spirit devouring beast was actually not very far from the edge of its body.

"Cut, it's really stingy enough, the reflex arc is slow enough, I've been collecting for so long, you just reacted, it's not good if your body is too big." Xiao Chen muttered quietly.
