Chapter 303: Disapproval
“Where am I?”
A colorful world appeared in front of him. Soft flowers and plants sat under his b.u.t.t. There was the sound of birds chirping in the distance. He could even hear the sound of the spring flowing. How beautiful was all of this?
Liu Wen opened his eyes and saw Yang Tianqi sitting beside him. The two children looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.
“Is this the mystic realm? It seems to be called the Dragon Palace.”
The two of them had asked the people beside them on the dragon boat about the Dragon Palace. They called this place the Dragon Palace Mystic Realm. However, there was no seawater after they entered. There was only such an endless gra.s.sland.
“Where should this place be? It seems to be a gra.s.sland in the middle of the forest.”
Only then did the two of them remember what they had come in for. They opened the map and took a look. On this simple map, there was probably only one place that matched this description.
This forest was in the center of all the maps. The forest terrain was very complicated. There were swamps and gra.s.slands like this. The animals here looked like they were hanging from the treetops. They stared at them with their big eyes and twisted their little heads mechanically from time to time. They looked quite cute.
“Senior Brother, these little fellows look quite interesting. I wonder if I can capture them and raise them as pets.” Liu Wen crawled on the gra.s.s like a sharp cheetah.
He looked warily at the little birds in the treetops. It would be a pity not to catch one or two of them. However, the very colorful birds did not have any intention of being afraid of them. They still hung on the tree and stared at the two of them as if they were looking at two dead people.
Yang Tianqi slowly took out his short stick and looked around warily.
“This place should be very dangerous. Our main goal this time is the desert, right? We have to rush to the desert from here. It will take a lot of time. Let’s move quickly. We only have six hours.”
Just as the two of them were about to leave, a chill suddenly attacked them from behind.
Liu Wen suddenly raised his head and saw a huge green snake head behind Yang Tianqi. It raised its head high and aimed its scarlet mouth at Yang Tianqi’s head.
“Look out!”
The two of them shouted in unison and attacked the snake behind the other party.
“Clang.”
After two soft sounds, Yang Tianqi and Liu Wen were sent flying. The two of them landed on a branch at the side and looked at the snake warily.
Fortunately, the two of them had discovered it in time and had time to react. Otherwise, they would have been aggrieved if they had almost been bitten to death by this fellow just now.
However, before the two of them could be happy, they suddenly heard a rustling sound in the air.
They turned around and saw that the birds that were squatting on the branches of the tree and watching the show were spinning around like little tops. The feathers on their bodies that were as hard as iron shot out and stabbed towards the two of them.
Before the two of them could get warm, they immediately moved again and jumped towards the empty s.p.a.ce on the gra.s.s.
“It’s over. This place is too dangerous. If we continue to stay here, who knows how many things will appear? Moreover, the terrain of this gra.s.sland is too complicated. The gra.s.s is so long. There might be something hidden below. We should leave quickly.”
After a simple discussion, the two of them decided to leave the gra.s.sland quickly.
Their target this time was not this forest. Just now, they thought that these guys were harmless and looked very cute. Now, they no longer had such thoughts.
Just as the two brothers found the right direction and were about to escape, the two snakes that had just been knocked unconscious recovered. They twisted their bodies and they quickly twisted towards them.
The two snakes seemed to have discussed it beforehand as they targeted Liu Wen and Yang Tianqi.
Fortunately, the treasures in their hands were high enough that they were not at a disadvantage against the snake’s teeth. Otherwise, with their strength, they would probably have internal injuries from the first collision.
However, it was not good news for them if this continued. These demon beasts were very strong to begin with. In addition, they were like fish in water in this place. After a simple entanglement, the two brothers still left hurriedly.
They thought that it was not that scary from Huang Daxian’s description of this place. However, after they landed, they immediately realized how childish their thoughts were. This place was much stronger than they had imagined.
For example, these two snakes were completely above the Foundation Establishment realm. Even if a human Foundation Establishment expert came, they might not be able to gain any advantage against these two snakes, let alone these two inexperienced fellows.
If not for the treasure that Li Yuanqing had given them, they would have long become the snake’s food.
The two brothers, who had encountered such a predicament, immediately became cautious. The two of them were abnormally careful as they advanced through the forest.
However, what was delightful was that although this place was extremely dangerous, there were indeed many treasures growing here.
They could find a few rare materials in the dense forest with just two steps.
The two brothers had also gathered a lot of things after making sure that it was safe. Huang Daxian had said that other than the sand vine fruits he needed, Liu Wen could keep everything else that he brought out this time. Moreover, there would be a considerable reward.
An hour later, the two of them finally arrived at the edge of the forest. Looking at the yellow desert in front of them, both of them were troubled.
Although the terrain of this forest was very complicated and there were many ferocious demon beasts inside, there was still room to escape no matter what. However, if they were really discovered by some powerful demon beast in such a desert area, they would probably not be able to escape even if they wanted to.
“This desert area feels abnormally dangerous. I wonder if we can come out alive after entering. I think we should collect some more in the forest. We can find someone else to exchange for the Sand Vine Fruit after we leave.”
Yang Tianqi looked at the terrain in front of him and persuaded Liu Wen.
Their main goal in coming here was to train. Huang Daxian’s request was not a big deal to them.
Liu Wen bent down and grabbed a handful of yellow sand.
“I don’t think anyone goes to this desert.”
“Brothers.”
Just as the two of them were discussing, they suddenly heard a commotion behind them. Two burly fellows rushed out of the bushes.
The two of them turned around warily and looked at the two people who had suddenly appeared.
“h.e.l.lo, the two of you must be planning to go to the desert.”
The two of them were quite polite. They greeted Liu Wen and Yang Tianqi very politely.
Yang Tianqi took a step forward and looked at the two of them with a smile. “The two of us happened to land here and wanted to get some treasures. However, there are no sand vines here. In that case, we should search the forest.”
“You’re here for the Sand Vine Fruit too.” The man suddenly laughed. “What a coincidence. We’re here for the Sand Vine Fruit too.”
“Is that so?”
“My name is Liu Xian. His name is Zhao Gang.”
“My name is Liu Wen.”
“My name is Yang Tianqi.”
The person who called himself Liu Xian took the initiative to approach after seeing the two sides get closer.
“Brothers, you don’t know. This desert is much more dangerous than you think. If you go over rashly, I’m afraid you’ll easily encounter danger.”
Yang Tianqi pretended to know the situation here very well and said with a smile, “We’re just taking a look here. We haven’t decided if we want to go over.”
“That Sand Vine Fruit is a good thing. I believe the two of you have heard about it. There are good treasures in this Sand Vine Fruit.”
Liu Xian suddenly looked at the two of them mysteriously.
Liu Wen and Yang Tianqi looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes. They clearly did not expect such a thing.
They had originally thought that the sand vine fruit that Huang Daxian had asked them to find was something that could be found anywhere. However, if they were to say so, it seemed like this thing had some background.
“Why do you say that?”
“Don’t tell me you really don’t know?” Liu Xian looked at the two of them in surprise.
Yang Tianqi said embarra.s.sedly, “The two of us came a little late and don’t know much about the situation here. It would be best if you can introduce us.”
“That’s easy. This mystic realm is extremely dangerous. If we can gather together, even if it’s not fate, at least everyone can guarantee each other’s safety. This is also our best choice.”
After some pleasantries, Liu Xian began to explain.
“This Sand Vine Fruit was born in this desert area and is just an ordinary fruit. However, something strange appeared in this mystic realm.”
“What is it?”
“That’s a very high-level demon beast. Their bloodline is very powerful, and these guys reproduce by laying eggs on the fruits. Originally, demon beasts of this level shouldn’t appear here at all, but for some reason, someone found the eggs of this demon beast among these Sand Vine Fruits.”
“What demon beast?”
“I heard that it’s something called the Black Pegasus. As long as this thing reaches adulthood, its speed will be astonishing. If it can be used as a mount, it will be a very good means of transportation. Moreover, their pile of wings can be used to refine very high-level Dharma artifacts. It’s a popular item.”
“There’s such a good thing?”
Of course, many people are eyeing the desert covetously. However, the situation in the desert is very complicated. In addition, the beast tide erupted very suddenly this time. Many scorpions have already gathered. If we rashly enter, I’m afraid we will only end up with no bones left.”
Liu Xian’s explanation broaden their horizons. The two of them had never heard such news before.
It turned out that Huang Daxian was a scheming fellow. He had even told the two of them that this thing was not dangerous and that they should go straight into the desert. However, the reality seemed to be far from what he said.
Liu Xian revealed a very honest smile and looked at Liu Wen and Yang Tianqi. “To be honest, the two of us also want to try our luck. If we can really bring back two eggs, we will make a killing this time. These are living things that are much more valuable than those dead things.”
“I see. No wonder Brother Liu knows so much about it.”
“It seems like you two don’t know much about the situation here. If you still want to obtain the Sand Vine Fruit like this, I’m afraid it’s risky. Why don’t we form a team? What do you think?”
Yang Tianqi and Liu Wen looked at each other. Their original plan was not to team up with anyone else, but from the looks of it, the information they had learned from Huang Daxian seemed to be too little.
Huang Daxian was dishonest and did not say many things clearly. It seemed like there were some benefits to being here with these people.
“Since the two of you are so kind as to invite us, the four of us can travel together.”
“That’s great. I can tell at a glance that you two are very kind people, so I invited you. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t dare to say such an invitation. You also know that you can’t guess what others are thinking, so everyone is still very careful.”
“But didn’t the leader tell everyone to try not to fight among themselves before we came in just now? I think it’s better to be more harmonious.”
The smile on Liu Xian’s face widened. “That’s true, but you have to be wary. Who knows what others think?”
Zhao Gang suddenly patted his shoulder and looked at him in confusion, as if he had something to tell him.
Liu Xian looked at him unhappily and said to Zhao Gang, “We’re already brothers now. What can’t we say in person? Isn’t it just a Foundation Establishment wild deer?”
As he spoke, he stole a glance at Liu Wen.
Yang Tianqi said, “If the two of you still have something urgent, you can leave first. We can meet here later.”
Liu Xian said very generously, “Since we’ve already encountered each other, we can’t hide it. To be honest, we’ve already set up a trap to capture a Foundation Establishment realm wild road. If we can capture this deer and take the demon core, we’ll find someone to refine such a Foundation Establishment Pill.”
