Chapter 830: Vermilion Fruit
Qi Yan also nodded, "Yes, we still have quite a few Spirit Stones, and the Spiritual Energy here at Wolf Tooth Mountain is too thin. If the Spirit Vein is excavated again, it will be even harder to survive here."
Qi Wen nodded.
"Second Brother, did you find the high-level Spiritual Plant that summoned you?"
"It’s nearby, follow me."
Qi Hong led the way at the front. They quickly arrived in front of a fruit tree. Qi Hong excitedly circled around it twice.
"This is it, the Vermilion Fruit; it’s a Spirit Fruit that can restore Spiritual Power even faster than the Spirit Revitalizing Pill, and it has no side effects at all.
Should we collect it? In the future, we can have our father plant it, and then we’ll have plenty of Vermilion Fruit."
"Second Brother, do you see a small Vermilion Fruit Tree beside it? Let’s just dig up this one."
Qi Yan and Qi Hong both came over to look at the small Vermilion Fruit Tree, and Qi Hong carefully squatted down to start digging.
Qi Yan stood on one side, cautiously on guard with his sword.
Qi Wen did the same, with the siblings protecting their brother who was excitedly digging up the Spiritual Plant.
Qi Hong worked quickly. As soon as he dug it up, he put it directly into his Storage Ring.
Qi Yan saw that his brother had succeeded. "Quickly pick the Vermilion Fruit so we can leave immediately."
It’s impossible for such a Spiritual Plant to not be guarded by a demon beast. Perhaps heaven was watching over them, and the demon beast happened to be absent when they arrived.
"Qi Wen, you join in too."
The siblings’ actions were very swift as well.
Qi Hong found yet another small Vermilion Fruit Tree Seedling and used the Object Control Technique to collect it immediately.
"Alright, let’s leave immediately." It’s best to leave a little behind, Qi Yan knew that it’s wise to leave a way out for future encounters; otherwise, the demon beasts could create trouble in a fit of urgency.
The two younger ones were very obedient. Listening to their elder brother, they decisively stopped picking. All three siblings applied Featherweight Talismans on their legs and quickly left the area.
"Don’t stop, keep running."
The Ice Handsome Man from the Upper Realm watched the actions of the three little ones, and his usually expressionless face broke into a smile.
Indeed, interesting. However, this is quite commendable, knowing the pros and cons of the situation.
Qi Yan and the others infused Spiritual Power into their legs, increasing their speed even further.
Just less than an hour after they left, the long-armed ape returned to find that more than half of the Vermilion Fruit it was guarding was gone, and it became anxious.
Pounding its chest and howling to the sky. This was a Fifth-rank long-armed ape, and its brain was quite developed. Although not as intelligent as an adult human, it could definitely rival the mind of a child.
Seeing such a significant reduction in the Vermilion Fruit, it didn’t immediately pursue the thieves but instead plucked all the remaining Vermilion Fruit.
Demon beasts have their own storage spaces too, though not large, but ample enough to hold precious items.
This granted Qi Wen and the others some additional time.
It was soon going to be dark, but the three of them dared not stop.
In fact, all three of them were somewhat spiritually perceptive, meaning they could vaguely sense impending danger.
Therefore, they didn’t mind running through the night. Generally, they weren’t afraid of Third-rank Demon Beasts.
Right now, they just wanted to leave Wolf Tooth Mountain as soon as possible.
After storing the Vermilion Fruit, the long-armed ape began its pursuit.
It remembered the scent of those who had been here. It was confident it could catch up to them.
The long-armed ape was very fast, but despite being two hours behind, it couldn’t give up.
Qi Yan and the others were utterly exhausted, resorting to drinking Spiritual Spring Water, but they couldn’t afford to stop at Wolf Tooth Mountain, at least not in the near future. It was too dangerous.
The guardian of the Vermilion Fruit was certainly not an ordinary demon beast. They definitely weren’t its match, so the wisest decision was to run away quickly.
After a whole night, the three children were thoroughly exhausted. There was no choice, even with the aid of Spiritual Spring Water, their stamina had dwindled considerably.
"We must hold on. In two hours, we’ll definitely be out of Wolf Tooth Mountain."
"Big Brother, I’m so tired."
Qi Yan was also extremely tired, but they dared not stop. "Let’s persevere. I’ll send a Sound Transmission Talisman to our father, and if he comes to assist us, there’ll be no problem."
In the eyes of the children, Tan Shaoting was an omnipotent figure. They highly revered him, believing there was nothing that could defeat their father.
After Qi Yan sent out the Sound Transmission Talisman, the three continued running without pause.
Tan Shaoting, who was in the middle of cultivation, saw the Sound Transmission Talisman appear before him and didn’t even bother to listen before swiftly heading for Wolf Tooth Mountain. Once out of the workshop, he immediately took to Sword Flight, without regard for anything else.
Standing on his sword, he finally had the time to listen. But upon listening, he sped up even more.
He calculated the time in his mind, knowing he had to accelerate now.
The long-armed ape was tracking them by scent all along the way.
Qi Wen suddenly stumbled and fell. Qi Yan hurriedly went over to help her up.
"Big Brother, I can’t move my legs anymore."
Qi Yan thought carefully. It was only two more hours before they would be out of Wolf Tooth Mountain, but now the three of them were so worn out. With no physical strength and all their Spiritual Power infused in their legs, even if they encountered a Third-rank demon beast, they’d stand no chance.
"Let’s go aside and enter the Array." They had already sent Sound Transmission Talismans to their father and Ah Ke. Now they had no choice but to wait for their father to rescue them within the Array.
This time, Qi Yan directly took out a Fifth-tier Array. Uncertain about the rank of the demon beast they had offended, using a Fifth-tier Array was just a matter of spending some Spirit Stones. Right now wasn’t the time to worry about Spirit Stones.
Once inside the Array, the three children slumped to the ground, utterly exhausted. They hadn’t rested an entire night.
A tea’s time after they settled in the Array, the long-armed ape caught up.
It reached the front of the Array. The scent disappeared right here.
It knew this was an Array, which made it even more furious. Outside, it punched the Array.
Qi Yan sat up. "We need to recover quickly; there will definitely be a battle later."
Qi Hong and Qi Wen both got up. No matter how tired they were, they had no choice but to endure. Exhaustion was better than getting hit.
The Array was fluctuating, but the three children cleared their minds, focusing entirely on cultivation, needing to make the most of the time.
The long-armed ape outside the Array was increasingly infuriated, but after chasing for such a long time, it was also very tired.
Although it was a Fifth-rank and the Demon Beast King of Wolf Tooth Mountain, it was still exhausted now.
Seeing the Array hold steadfast, this approach was futile indeed.
So it ceased its attacks, sitting directly outside the Array. It didn’t believe they wouldn’t come out eventually.
Human cultivators were so treacherous, committing misdeeds and then hiding. The long-armed ape grew even more agitated, roaring outside the Array.
The Array regained its tranquility, prompting the three to seize the time even more carefully.
In just half an hour, Tan Shaoting arrived.
