"Whoosh."

A huge black shadow flew over quickly.

Xiao Jing remained unmoved, while Xiao Zhuang, Xiao Zimu and the other two family members felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Fire-Eating Hundred Blades." Xiao Yi shouted coldly, and a fire blade came out of his hand, cutting the giant black shadow into two pieces.

Xiao Jing's eyes lit up and he said, "That is a second-level monster, a giant iron-backed snake. Its strength is equivalent to that of a first-level warrior acquired by humans."

Xiao Yi and his party had left the Xiao family mine for dozens of miles, and encountered attacks from many monsters one after another.

"This must be the eighth time we have been attacked by monsters. Monsters are indeed rampant in the Meteor Mountains." Xiao Yi said in a deep voice.

Monsters are hostile to human warriors, but they have spirituality, are ferocious and cunning.

Whether it is a large mineral vein or a small mineral vein, monsters are rarely seen in places where human warriors gather.

They will be in places where there are few warriors' footprints.

Xiao Yi and others had just left for tens of miles, and had gone deeper into the Meteor Mountains, and had already seen many monsters.

Of course, these monsters are strong and weak.

Weak monsters will stay away without hesitation when they see Xiao Yi and his group being crowded. Only some powerful monsters will come looking for trouble.

At the same time, we also met some sporadic monster hunters on the road. Some were walking alone or in groups, walking cautiously in the mountains.

A demon hunter who walks alone must have extraordinary strength.

Monster inner elixirs and monster corpses are very valuable items.

Human warriors come to hunt and kill these things at all costs.

Of course, people die for wealth and birds die. Many of these warriors were buried in the belly of monsters and beasts.

In short, in this huge Meteor Mountains, battles are going on every moment of every day.

Either monsters fight with warriors, or monsters fight with monsters, or even warriors fight with warriors for profit.

Human life has become an extremely worthless thing here; blood and killing have become commonplace here.

Danger pervades the entire mountain range.

"Young Master." Xiao Jing suddenly said, "Judging from your proficiency in the Fire-Eating Hundred Blades, it shouldn't take long for you to be able to condense the second one."

"Deacon Xiao Jing has good eyesight." Xiao Yi said, "I am trying to condense the second path, and I should be successful soon."

Xiao Zhuang and other family members showed admiration on their faces, "The Fire-Eating Hundred Blades are the most powerful martial arts of our Xiao family. We don't even have the chance to learn it now, but the young family master is already preparing to condense the second path."

The former family waste is now the most dazzling star in their eyes.

But they were not unconvinced, on the contrary, they were even more convinced of Xiao Yi.

The group of people continued on their way. After a few hours, Xiao Jing stopped and said, "We are here."

Just at this moment, a figure jumped down from a big tree.

"Deacon Xiao Jing, young master." The figure saluted Xiao Jing and Xiao Yi.

This is a member of the Xiao family's pathfinding team, who has been keeping watch nearby.

Under the leadership of this team member, they went hundreds of meters deep into the dense forest. Along the way, people from the pathfinding team jumped from the trees one after another, eight of them.

Xiao Yi said calmly, "As expected of the Xiao family's pathfinding team, everyone is very vigilant and has good hiding skills in dense forests."

Xiao Jing asked with great interest, "Oh? Young Master, do you also have experience walking in dense forests?"

"Haha, a little bit." Xiao Yi hesitated.

When he was on Earth, he had never been to any dangerous places. He had crossed the dangerous Amazon forest, the mysterious snow-capped mountains, and the deadly Sahara desert one by one. Naturally, he had a wealth of experience in all kinds of walking.

Suddenly, a team member pointed forward and said happily, "Look, that's the Demon Blood Flame Heart Fruit."

Xiao Yi looked up and saw a strange big tree in front of him.

The big tree is about several meters high and has luxuriant branches and leaves. But the strange thing is that it is covered in fiery red, and even its leaves are fiery red, just like a sapling on fire.

But among the staggered leaves, there are three red fruits.

The red color of the fruit is completely different from that of the leaves.

The leaves are fiery red and the fruit is blood red.

The round spiritual fruit seemed to be a huge drop of blood wrapped in countless blood.

That is the Demon Blood Flame Heart Fruit.

At first glance, the first impression given by the three demon blood flame heart fruits is that they are demonic, and they are so spooky that it makes people feel frightened.

"Gu." Xiao Zhuang and other family members swallowed their saliva, feeling a little frightened.

As for Xiao Yi, he still had that indifferent expression.

Xiao Jing took a look and said to himself, "As expected of the young master, the number one genius of our Xiao family, he is so calm. I was shocked when I saw this spiritual fruit for the first time."

"Looking at the maturity of this spiritual fruit, it should be ready to be picked in just a few hours." Xiao Yi said suddenly.

"Uh." Xiao Jing reacted and smiled, "Well, originally I thought it would take at least two days for these fruits to mature. However, young master, you are an alchemist, and you are much more familiar with these heavenly materials and earthly treasures than I am."

In a dense forest, people's sight is very limited. This big tree grows in a place like this. If Xiao Jing and others hadn't happened to encounter it, outsiders would never be able to discover its existence.

Xiao Yi and his party could only continue to wait patiently in the dense forest.

About two hours later, Xiao Yi heard a strange movement.

When I looked around, I saw that the soil under the big tree had changed.

A large area of ​​soil around the big tree instantly turned into scarlet blood and soil. Waves of blood energy escaped from the blood and soil.

The blood was like bubbles, making a deep crackling sound.

After the blood emerged from the soil, it automatically snaked around and finally entangled the tree trunk.

The tree trunk changed from fiery red to fishy red in an instant.

After that, even the leaves turned scarlet.

Xiao Zhuang and others looked panicked and said in surprise, "Why is the soil bleeding? And that big tree is absorbing the blood."

Xiao Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "No, what is really absorbing the blood energy is the three demon blood flame heart fruits. It is only absorbing it through the trunk and leaves, and will eventually condense into the fruit."

Xiao Yi continued, "The blood energy was unearthed and melted into the tree. The three demon blood flame heart fruits became more and more demon blood red. This is a sign of their maturity."

"Is it ready to pick?" Xiao Jing asked happily.

"Okay." Xiao Yi nodded.

However, just when Xiao Jing was about to move, Xiao Yi grabbed him and said, "Don't move yet."

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jing asked doubtfully.

Xiao Yi pointed forward, and with his sharp eyes, he discovered that there were several thin footprints there, "What are those footprints?"

Xiao Jing relaxed his expression and said, "I thought the young master was asking for something. Those footprints may be from other team members who have been close to them before."

"Impossible." Xiao Yi's face became solemn and he said, "Those footprints were so shallow that I almost didn't see them. It was obvious that someone had walked there before and then deliberately covered up the footprints."

"That's why those footprints are so shallow, leaving only a faint trace."

Xiao Jing also took a look and asked the team members behind him, "Have you ever been close to there?"

The team members quickly shook their heads and said, "No, the Demon Blood Flame Heart Fruit is of great importance. Without your instructions, captain, how dare we approach it at will."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi was instantly startled and said, "This proves that someone has discovered these three Demonic Blood Flame Heart Fruits earlier than us."

Xiao Jing frowned and said, "Never mind, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, I will pick them first."

"Don't be impulsive." Xiao Yi shouted, trying to hold Xiao Jing back.

However, Xiao Jing was a seventh-level warrior after all, and his speed was too fast. Regardless of Xiao Yi's reminder, he jumped over.

"Young master, don't be too cautious. Maybe you just saw it wrong. I'll be right back after picking. Everything will be fine." Xiao Jing jumped out with a smile.

Xiao Yi has always been cautious. His insight and keen intuition are far superior to Xiao Jing's. He will never make a mistake.

Sure enough, just when Xiao Jing was about to come to the big tree and prepare to pick it.

Behind the big tree, a sharp roar suddenly appeared. Then, a huge thing suddenly appeared.

It was a giant python, covered in silver, with an astonishing aura. It was obviously not a good python.

"No, that's a third-level monster, the silver-backed monster python. Its strength is no less than that of an innate warrior. Get back quickly." Xiao Yi shouted.

Xiao Jing is not a fool. When he saw the silver-backed demon python, he immediately backed away without Xiao Yi reminding him.

The silver-backed demon python immediately chased after him, and its bloody mouth could swallow Xiao Jing in one bite.

"Damn it, just wait here while I go rescue Deacon Xiao Jing." Xiao Yi ordered and jumped out immediately.

"Fire-Eating Hundred Blades." Xiao Yi fired a fire blade.

The fire blade exuding blazing heat barely hit the silver-backed demon python, causing it to pause and slow down. Xiao Jing took the opportunity to immediately speed up and retreat.

At this moment, suddenly, a figure passed by behind the big tree. The figure was very fast, picked three Demon Blood Flame Heart Fruits, and then immediately ran away.

"Who?" Xiao Yi was surprised.

"It's Murong Qianjun." Xiao Jing roared angrily.

"Hahahaha." That figure was none other than Murong Qianjun, who had disappeared for a while. He laughed and said as he ran away, "You bunch of fools, if you hadn't helped me lure away this silver-backed demon python, I wouldn't have known what happened.
