However, the two of them were still very thankful. No matter how miserable they were, they still survived and escaped the calamity.
"Brother Jingze, Brother Qingfeng, are you alright?" Chu Tianlu hurriedly ran over. He truly cared about these two friends of his, and was completely unaware of the scene that had just occurred. If he knew that his friends' moral qualities were comparable to Chu Tianliang's, he probably wouldn't be so nervous.
"I'm … I'm alright …" The tall man called Bai Jingze glanced at the person behind him with an extremely unnatural expression. His previous actions had almost completely offended this companion of his. Putting himself in their shoes, if he was the other person, he would definitely not stop once he caught his breath.
Fortunately, the other Zhang Qingfeng didn't look in his direction. Instead, he was half-lying on the ground, panting. He was the first victim of the black insects, and his injuries were far more serious than Bai Jingze's. Of course, he was also in a more sorry state.
"That's good, that's good." Chu Tianlu was so concerned that he completely didn't notice that something was wrong. He carefully helped the two of them up, and generously gave them the clan's healing medicine he had brought with him. Although it wasn't a holy medicine, it was very effective for external injuries. However, he didn't bring much this time. He used half and gave the other half to the two of them. In this way, he didn't even have his own spare medicine.
"Thank you …" Bai Jingze said with a pale face. On the other side, Zhang Qingfeng didn't say anything. He just silently allowed Chu Tianlu to help him apply the medicine. His head was lowered so that no one could see his expression.
"We've grown up together. What's there to thank me for?" Chu Tianlu frowned to express his dissatisfaction, then asked, "Didn't the two of you say you wanted to go to the snake's head to take a look? How did you provoke these insects?"
The terrain of Tai Snake Island, from the lowest snake's tail to the highest snake's head, could be seen at a glance. Normal people would want to climb to the top of the snake's head after coming here, but there were very few people who could reach that step.
Although the terrain was simple, it could only ensure that they wouldn't get lost, but it didn't mean that they could easily walk through it. In terms of the small Pugilistic World of the Far Ancient Era, there were almost no weaklings who came here. But for Tai She Island, even a Nascent Soul Old Monster like Bing Wuqing might not be enough, let alone those Golden Core Stage or even Foundation Building Stage cultivators?
If one wanted to reach the snake head's position, apart from necessary strength, the most important thing was luck. If one's luck wasn't good, everything else would be useless. Bai Jingze and Zhang Qingfeng's luck clearly wasn't all that great. If it weren't for Chu Tianlu's pleading, they would already be two corpses that were too horrible to look at.
Zhang Qingfeng still didn't say anything. Bai Jingze glanced at him and explained, "Actually, it's nothing. We just accidentally provoked them along the way. How unlucky …"
"Accidentally?" Chu Tianlu was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with disbelief. As for Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing beside him, they didn't believe his words at all. Accidentally provoking so many terrifying black insects? Was he trying to fool a child?
No matter how ferocious and terrifying a spirit beast was, as long as it didn't actively attack it or enter its core territory, it wouldn't take the initiative to attack human cultivators. After all, they all had spiritual intelligence. In this era where human cultivators were the dominant force, no spirit beast would recklessly make an enemy out of humans, let alone act as crazily as the swarm of black insects just now to the point of disregarding the consequences.
Anyone could see that Bai Jingze was being perfunctory.
"Strictly speaking, it wasn't really an accident. The main thing was that we saw a Heaven and Earth treasure, so we subconsciously approached it. We didn't expect something to happen …" Bai Jingze hurriedly tried to salvage the situation.
"What Heaven and Earth treasure?" Lin Yi asked casually. Heaven and Earth treasures were always guarded by spirit beasts, especially the rarer the treasure, the more troublesome and fierce the spirit beasts around it. This was common sense. Judging from the terrifying swarm of black insects just now, the level of the Heaven and Earth treasure was definitely not simple. It must be a rare treasure in the world.
"This … actually, I don't know either. I don't know much about elixirs, but it seems to be worth some spirit jade …" Bai Jingze was still trying to hide the truth from them.
"Don't play dumb." At this moment, Zhang Qingfeng, who had been silent since the beginning, suddenly spoke. His words were shocking. "We saw the Spirit Knowledge Fruit."
"Spirit Knowledge Fruit?!" Lin Yi and the other two were all shocked.
Bai Jingze couldn't help but frown at Zhang Qingfeng, very dissatisfied. Was this guy crazy? How could he reveal such important information to others? In his mind, he didn't have the slightest notion of repaying Lin Yi for saving them. He only had one thing on his mind, and that was to be able to find the fruit of consciousness. It was a great opportunity given to him by the heavens, and no one could take it away from him!
Zhang Qingfeng originally did not want to easily reveal the Spirit Knowledge Fruit to Lin Yi and the others. If possible, he would be happy to share the Spirit Knowledge Fruit with Bai Jingze. Unfortunately, after the scene just now, a huge gap had appeared between the two of them. Even if it was just to vent his anger, he would never let Bai Jingze succeed.
"Wasn't there only one Spirit Knowledge Fruit?" Chu Tianlu looked surprised. Of all the people present, he should be the one who had done the most homework in this regard. There was only one Spirit Knowledge Fruit at any one time. This was the conclusion he came to. The previous Heaven Devouring Giant Crocodile's performance had also indirectly confirmed this point. The Spirit Knowledge Fruit in the underground cave had obviously been taken away by Lin Yi, so how could another one have appeared?
"Could you have mistaken it for someone else?" Lin Yi asked. He was worried that one Spirit Knowledge Fruit wouldn't be enough. If there really was another one, it couldn't be better.
"How could I have mistaken it for someone else? It's shaped like a snake's gallbladder and has so many terrifying black insects guarding it. If it isn't a Spirit Knowledge Fruit, what could it be? " Zhang Qingfeng shook his head. Anyone who came here basically came for the Spirit Knowledge Fruit, and he was naturally no exception. He might not know about other natural treasures, but it was impossible for him to not recognize the Spirit Knowledge Fruit.
Lin Yi and Chu Tianlu looked at each other, pausing for a moment before taking out the Spirit Knowledge Fruit from the jade pendant's space and asking, "Is it this one?"
Bai Jingze and Zhang Qingfeng were stunned when they saw it, both of them swallowing a mouthful of saliva. Their eyes couldn't help showing greed, especially Bai Jingze, whose eyes almost fell out of their sockets. Fortunately, although he was envious, he did not lose his reason. They had seen Lin Yi's performance just now, and with that kind of strength, even if they were given ten thousand times more courage, they would not dare to snatch it.
"It's … it's this one, the Spirit Knowledge Fruit we saw is exactly the same as this one." Since Zhang Qingfeng had already revealed it, Bai Jingze could no longer continue to hide it and could only nod.
