Chapter 63 - Scarlet Fruit

When the dry wood in the cave was ignited, smoke began to billow out, and the fire spread out, filling the entire cave.

At this moment, Ye Yang's heart felt like he'd eaten a mouthful of ice cream on a hot day.

If it wasn't for the fact that he reacted fast enough and had the protection of the Dark Gold Body of Dragon and Elephant, he would have been buried by the spider's mouth today.

Just thinking about it made her feel sullen. After being chased by a feathered beast for half a day and a night, they had run thousands of miles, finally getting rid of the Blue-eyed eagle. In the end, she had met with an even greater danger and almost died.

The most hateful thing was that even now, he still could not see clearly what that spider that was spitting out nets at him looked like.

He believed that spider was definitely the leader and even developed a little bit of intelligence. It actually knew how to grasp the opportunity. This insect type of magical beast would not give birth to wisdom easily, so it must have lived for many years.

The flame was burning, the terrifying high temperature twisted the air outside the cave, but there was still no movement from inside the cave.

However, Ye Yang wasn't in a hurry at all, because when Ye Yang put in the firewood, he also put in fresh wood. This kind of wood would burn very slowly and also emit a large amount of smoke.

Sure enough, after two hours, spiders had already started climbing out of the cave.

However, the temperature of the cave entrance was extremely high, just like a red-hot iron. It was impossible for them to stand, and the spiders that were crawling out all fell into the fire, burning them to death.

However, Ye Yang did not care about them. He had also built a fire outside, and heated up the remaining half of the Raging Flaming Salamander's leg that he ate yesterday.

After finding a clean place with the little fox, he ate while watching the movements at the entrance of the cave.

By the time Ye Yang was full, it had already been two hours and there were no more spiders crawling out. He reckoned that either they were bored to death or they were burnt to death.

When Ye Yang walked to the cave entrance, the dust had already dispersed and the cave was already charred black.

There was a pile of ashes on the ground, and there were hundreds of spider corpses the size of washbasins inside, which made one's scalp tingle.

Ye Yang stood at the cave entrance and watched for a while. He then looked into the cave again, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer.

He took out Moon Shadow and nocked an arrow on his bow.

"Chi!"

An arrow shot out.

The arrow pierced directly into a piece of "rock."

"Creak!"

With a strange cry, "Rocks" fell from the ceiling and rolled a few times on the ground before they stopped moving.

Ye Yang let out a sneer, "You're the only one disguised as a chandelier? Do you think I'm an idiot? You can't even see this? "

Ye Yang walked into the cave and first put away the black iron lance that had fallen into the cave. Then, he walked in front of the "Rock" to carefully examine it.

This spider was around the size of a round table. Aside from the color of the rocks on its back, there were four other lines.

With an arrow s stuck into their basin-sized heads, Ye Yang was still quite accurate with this kind of motionless target.

Ye Yang pried open the head of the spider, and a light blue crystal core appeared before his eyes. The berserk aura it emitted was actually much stronger than that of the Raging Flames Salamander.

Thinking about the pattern on the spider's back, Ye Yang reckoned that this spider was probably a Class 4 Magical Beast, equivalent to a human Warrior Rank expert.

Even if a magical beast of the fifth step was ambushed, their chances of escaping were very slim.

Unless it's something like a serpent, lizard, or other scale type monsters, it's extremely difficult for them to resist the invasion of poison.

Ye Yang felt a chill just thinking about it. If he was trapped by the entire net, and also by hundreds of small spiders injecting poison, he would definitely be terrified.

"It's actually of the water attribute?" "It's not just the earth element." Ye Yang was a little surprised, but he also understood that spiders relied on silk spitting to hunt.

He put away the crystal core and walked forward a few dozen feet. He had already reached the end.

At the far left side of the pond, there was a small pond full of viscous liquid. In the middle of the pond, there was actually a plant growing.

It was only two feet tall and completely black. However, there were a few red colored fruits growing on its surface.

The fruit was not big, only about the same size as a round cinnamon bun. The pond stank strongly, but it was still unable to conceal the delicate fragrance of the fruit.

"Scarlet Fruit!" Ye Yang's heart was beating wildly.

He recognized these fruits. They were legendary treasures, and their fame was just too great. The ancient book had said, "Born in the Hundred Rivers, they grow in filth, but in reality, they are like dragon eyes."

Scarlet Fruit, also known as "Scarlet Fruit". Of course, it also had a more appropriate name, "staunch fruit".

In other words, the fruit that countless women yearned for in their dreams was to remain young and remain dead forever after consuming it.

However, the conditions for these fruits to grow were too harsh. The number of fruits that appeared in the past few thousand years was extremely few. However, every time they appeared, it would cause a sensation throughout the world.

Although the appearance of a cultivator would be much slower than that of a mortal, in the end, they would slowly age.

Unless one could break through to the Zong Stage, when a martial artist broke through to the Zong Stage, their appearance would remain the same for 50 years.

And after 50 years, they would still slowly age. It was just that for cultivators like them, aging was 10 times slower than for normal martial artists.

However, compared to the fact that they could live for a thousand years, there would still be a day when they would become old people or old women.

To high-level cultivators, appearances were even more important. Ye Yang was sure that if he took out the Scarlet Fruit, the entire cultivation world would be in an uproar.

However, Ye Yang did not dare to show off. After he finished showing off today, he reckoned that before the sun rose tomorrow, he would be dead on the streets.

A treasure could only be kept if one had the strength to protect it. If one did not have the strength to protect it, it would only bring about a fatal disaster. This was something that one could not say even if one was beaten to death.

After a careful count, there were a total of twenty-seven fruits. Ye Yang didn't know if this fruit tree was originally there, or if it was raised by a magical beast later on.

However, considering that it was unlikely for a magical beast to have this kind of intelligence, there was a high chance that it already did. The spiders would later live here and use the Scarlet Fruit Tree as bait.

Thinking about it, if he walked in front of the fruit tree and discovered the spider's ambush, even if he had nine lives, he would still not be able to escape.

He took out a jade bottle and a pair of chopsticks carved out of jade from his ring. These were all purchased in the past, but he didn't expect them to be of use today.

The Scarlet Fruit was a spiritual object of heaven and earth. One could not directly touch it with his hands, or else it would slowly wither and lose all of its spirituality.

Ye Yang carefully placed each fruit into the jade bottle, carefully sealed it, and put it into the ring.

Looking at the fruit tree, Ye Yang shook his head. There was no way he could take it away, even if he did take it he wouldn't be able to raise it.

This kind of thing was almost innate by nature. Humans could not grow it because the Scarlet Fruit did not have any seeds.

Rather than wasting such a precious resource, it would be better to leave it for a fated person. Perhaps, after a few hundred years, there might be someone else who could obtain the fruit.

After confirming once more that no one had escaped, he turned around to leave. However, when his gaze swept to his right, he was startled.

He only saw a human skeleton with empty eyes and white teeth standing in a corner. If Ye Yang wasn't so bold, he would have screamed.

Ye Yang walked over and looked at it. It was covered in dust and most of its bones had already eroded. It should have been dead for many years.

A long sword was lying at his feet. Although many years had passed, there was still no trace of rust or coldness.

Reaching out to pick up the sword, Ye Yang felt a chill down his spine. This was a treasure, and Ye Yang was elated.

Although Ye Yang's spear was also a treasure, that didn't mean he didn't think a treasure was precious. After all, after coming out for so long, Ye Yang had never seen anyone his age that possessed a treasure.

Even some Battlemaster s would only wear normal refined weapons. It seemed that the owner of this skeleton was not simple.

Putting away his longsword, Ye Yang's gaze swept across the skeleton's finger. Surprisingly, there was still a ring there.

Ye Yang cupped his fists towards the skeleton, "Bro, I've already killed the spider. It can be said that I've avenged you."

"You've returned to your happy self. You don't need these mundane things anymore, I'll keep them for you!"

With that, he gently took off the ring and injected his true energy into the ring. Ye Yang was immediately overjoyed.

The space within the ring was more than three thousand feet. No matter how many prey he encountered in the future, he wouldn't have to worry about space anymore.

Furthermore, inside the space, there were many bottles of pills. Fortunately, the time inside the space ring was still. There was no expiration date, so he could relax and use it.

More than ten weapons were scattered to the side. Ye Yang carefully counted them, but was disappointed that there wasn't a single treasure within them.

However, thinking about it, it made sense. Treasures were extremely precious, not everyone could have so much, and not everyone was Li Chengfeng.

Since this person had come here, it could only be said that he was born into a poor family and had no great influence to provide him resources. He could only wander around and take risks in search of opportunities.

In the world of cultivation, there were countless legends. A certain someone had obtained some sort of fortuitous gain, and stories about him soaring into the sky inspired countless adventurers to travel everywhere in search of fortuitous gain.

However, only a few lucky ones would run into it. Most of the people here either didn't get anything or just lay on the ground like this old man, turning into a pile of white bones in a place that no one knew.

Ye Yang thought for a moment, then took out his spear and dug a large hole in the ground, burying the bones.

Seeing this bumpkin before him, Ye Yang couldn't help but sigh with emotion. This person dared to explore here, so he's at least a warrior rank expert.

In the secular world, a warrior rank expert would absolutely be treated as an ancestor if they were guests in an ordinary family.

Every day, he would be extravagantly dressed, and his concubines would be in groups. He didn't know how happy they would be, so why would they come here to take the risk?

Ye Yang sighed. However, thinking about it, wasn't he the same as well? He's still laughing at others. This is truly ridiculous.

Currently, wasn't he also desperately trying to increase his strength? Compared to him, he was only slightly lucky.

He turned around and walked out of the cave, not knowing why, but his heart felt somewhat heavy. Was it possible that one day, he would also become a pile of bones?

The moment he walked out of the cave entrance, Ye Yang immediately felt that something wasn't right. It's still afternoon, so why is it getting dark?

Lifting his head to take a look, his legs trembled in fear.
