Chapter 118 - What? Fell into a Pit?
Chapter 118 What? Fell into a Pit?
There must be a reason for the anomaly There had to be something unusual about this mountain for it to nurture so many natural spirit herbs!
Li Yu and the others nodded in response to Elder Nie.
Even though they were happy to encounter so many natural spirit herbs at once, they agreed with Elder Nie that this mountain was particularly abnormal. “Tang Chi, Ye Qiu, bring three junior brothers to pluck the Earth Saint Fruits! Wu Chang, Elder Nie, you two will lead the rest to collect the spirit herbs on the ground!”
“Okay!” Everyone quickly took action and began to harvest those natural spirit herbs.
Meanwhile, Li Yu began to investigate the vicinity.
As Elder Nie had mentioned, this mountain peak was indeed strange.
The plants were lush and filled with vitality. There were many spirit herbs, but not a single animal could be seen.
“Why?” Li Yu vaguely felt that something was off.
Although there were not many animals in the forest on the way here, he could still see a few demon beasts and some peculiar creatures he had never seen before.
Even if it was a humanoid monster that looked like a zombie, it was still a creature.
However, apart from plants, there were no animals on this mountain.
Logically speaking, the nurturing process of natural spirit herbs takes extremely long. The bunch of precious spirit herbs was probably impossible to grow without tens of thousands of years.
It was strange that it had not been discovered for so many years and did not attract any demon beasts to eat.
Of course, if not for that, they would probably not have the chance to discover so many natural herbs at once.
“But are these natural herbs completely untouched? It can’t be that this place was hidden by a mysterious power, so it was never discovered?” Li Yu’s imagination ran wild.
Right at this moment, a shout sounded from the hillside, “Senior Brother Gu!”
Li Yu’s expression changed as his figure flashed as he rushed over rapidly.
Lu Yuming exclaimed in panic, “Eldest Senior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother! Senior Brother Gu fell into a trap!”
“What?” Li Yu’s forehead was filled with black lines, and he was astounded.
Fall into a pit?
Gu Yuqi is really a world wonder!
Struck by lightning, smashed by a meteorite, now falling into a trap?
What kind of unlucky physique is this?
And how did a cultivator manage to fall into a pit?
The more you know!
Gu Yuqi had an Ancient God Body and a late-stage Soul Formation Realm cultivation. He was definitely powerful enough.
How could he not notice a hole? And even if he did not see it, he could have jumped into the air immediately. How could he have fallen into a pit? Li Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry, but he also felt something was fishy.
He quickly rushed to the deep hole that Lu Yuming had mentioned.
A mysterious hole in a dense forest.
It seemed bottomless. Well, to be precise, it was pitch-black inside. Nothing could be seen. It was like a black hole that showed no trace of the light directed inside.
Not only that, but Li Yu also sensed strange devouring energy contained in the hole.
There’s something fishy about this. This isn’t an ordinary cave.
“Gu Yuqi!” Li Yu shouted a few times. His voice vanished into the cave without any echo.
“Looks like something is going on in this mountain!” Li Yu frowned, and he felt that it seemed to be related to the absence of animals here.
“Wait here with everyone else. I’ll go down and take a look!” Li Yu decided to enter the cave to investigate.
According to Yu Qi’s awesome luck, he might find another natural oddity after this fall.
When Li Yu jumped into the deep hole, he immediately sensed a strange power that instantly enveloped his body and dragged him down.
It was the same feeling as when they entered the Lingtian Mystic Realm through the teleportation array. He could not change his body’s posture, much less the direction. He could only remain like a falling leaf in the wind that fluttered down.
His surroundings were pitch-black, and there was no sound at all. Li Yu felt as if he had fallen into a black hole.
No wonder Gu Yuqi fell in here. This was no ordinary hole.
Soon, Li Yu finally landed. Sounds of fighting immediately sounded in his ears, and green light illuminated the area.
Li Yu focused his gaze. A monster formed from green flames the size of a mini-mountain and resembled a qilin was staring at him.
Gu Yuqi was circled by a ball of green flames and struggling madly inside. He kept using his magic power and magic treasures to resist the attacks of the green flames.
He was limping, and he looked exhausted. Clearly, he was on the brink of losing.
“Yuqi!” Li Yu exclaimed. With a flash, he zoomed into the green flames and pulled Gu Yuqi out.
Seeing how Li Yu managed to use his mortal body to pull Gu Yuqi out of the green flames, the monster seemed surprised and was stunned for a moment. “Ding!” The system interface popped up in front of Li Yu and displayed the monster’s information.
[Natural Oddity-Life Spirit True Flame]
Li Yu was once again at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Gu Yuqi was really unlucky to encounter such a fortuitous encounter. He had found another natural oddity just like that.
Life Spirit True Flame?
Furthermore, after seeing the system’s introduction of the Life Spirit True Flame, Li Yu understood why so many natural spirit herbs grew on the mountain, yet no demon beast or living being could be seen.
This Life Spirit True Flame contained rich energy. Any seed could rapidly grow and mature under its nourishment. A natural spirit herb that might only grow after ten thousand years would be ripe in a few decades under its nourishing.
Moreover, it was compatible with various spirit herbs.
This was also why there were so many natural spirit herbs on the hillside.
There was another side to this Life Spirit True Flame.
It would devour all kinds of living creatures and turn them into life energy. Powerful beings were even more attractive targets.
At the same time, like a flame, it naturally possessed a destructive power that could incinerate all matter.
It could be said that it was a combination of life and death. Rather than calling it the Life Spirit True Flame, it was better to call it the Life and Death Flame.
It was similar to Wu Chang, having already cultivated a high level of intelligence.
Of course, this Life Spirit True Flame was much more powerful than Wu Chang. It could probably incinerate Emperor Tianyun if it devoured him.
If not for the Ancient God Body, Gu Yuqi would probably be burnt to dregs at the first instant. Li Yu had arrived in time. However, Gu Yugi was already severely injured, judging from his appearance, and he could not even stand steadily.
“Human, the spirit herbs of Tianding Mountain were nurtured after I expended countless life energies. You can’t take them for free, so you two will become nourishment for me, the great flame today!”
The Life True Flame spoke in the human tongue, and its voice reverberated through the pitch-black space, so loud that even the deaf would be affected.
“Life Spirit True Flame, the great Li Yu see that it’s not easy for you to cultivate spiritual intelligence. If you submit to the great Li Yu, I shall spare your life. If not, the great Li Yu will beat you back to your original form and make you the fertilizer for me, the great Li Yu!” Li Yu imitated the Life Spirit True Flame’s form of address and responded with a teasing expression.
He was definitely going to bring this Life Spirit True Flame home. Its use was simply heaven-defying. If he buried this fertilizer in his spirit herb garden and scattered some seeds, it would not take long for him to harvest plenty of spirit herbs.
It was simply the best fertilizer in the world.
The main reason was that it could also produce natural spiritual herbs. Its function was too powerful.
