"The world is so big, there are all kinds of strange things!"
Zuo Xiaoduo was amazed.
What a f * cking eye-opener!
First, he saw a centipede that was hundreds of meters long. But it was a Monster King, so it was reasonable for it to have a huge body. But now, he saw an earthworm that was more than thirty meters long!
How dare an earthworm be more than thirty meters long?
"It doesn't matter how big the earthworm is."
Xiao Long said, "This thing doesn't have much fighting power. As long as we use the Flaming Sun Sutra, we can roast it to death!"
Xiao Long's face was full of disgust and disdain.
How could there be such a disgusting thing in the world? I was wondering why it was swimming so leisurely underground. It was eating and pooping at the same time.
It swallowed all the soil in front of it, and as it crawled, it kept excreting from its tail …
Blergh!
It was so disgusting!
The giant earthworm wriggled its way over. Its body was huge, but in terms of fighting power, there was nothing to see. It was just a big body, and it was puffy.
Zuo Xiaoduo didn't expect that the Flaming Sun Sutra would burn its head off as soon as he used it …
Its whole body automatically broke into seventy or eighty pieces, and it fled in seventy or eighty different directions, fleeing for its life …
With a splash, the entire underground was filled with puddles of water!
Was this … the result of burning its head?!
Zuo Xiaoduo was stunned.
"Is this … a Ferocious Beast that guards the Treasure of Heaven and Earth?!" Zuo Xiaoduo tilted his head and looked at Xiao Long. He saw that Xiao Long was also stunned.
Obviously, he didn't expect this guy to be so weak!
Even if it was an earthworm, it was still an earthworm that was dozens of meters long!
How could it disappear after a touch? What kind of explanation was this?
"What's this?" Zuo Xiaoduo picked up a shiny round stone from the ground.
Zuo Xiaoduo suddenly thought, "Is this an inner core?"
"No."
Xiao Long came over to take a look, but he couldn't recognize it. He said, "This thing … I've never seen it before. The energy on it is very strange, but if I'm not wrong, it should be this thing that caused this earthworm to grow so abnormally. But it seems to only grow its head, not its strength … It doesn't seem to be of any use …"
Zuo Xiaoduo also felt that the bead contained a mysterious energy.
However, now was not the time to think about this. He casually stuffed it into his spatial ring and decided to ask Wen Xingtian or Grandma Shi when he got back.
Then, he continued to dig down.
Since the earthworm had returned in such a hurry, it meant that the Soul Tempering Vermilion Fruit was about to arrive.
Sure enough, after digging for less than ten meters, they found a pitch-black object.
It looked like a fruit that was growing in the soil. However, there seemed to be a layer of black smoke surrounding the fruit, isolating it from the soil.
He gently rubbed it. It was as if there were stars twinkling in the dark night. Even though it was underground, this kind of twinkling was still eye-catching.
"It's really good stuff." Zuo Xiaoduo praised.
Looking at it closely, he found that the fruit was connected to a fruit branch that seemed to be flowing with starlight.
Zuo Xiaoduo directly dug a huge hole and isolated the entire Soul Tempering Vermilion Fruit. Then, he broke the soil bit by bit.
After a long while, it was finally separated completely.
One tree with nine branches. On each branch, there was a fruit. There were nine fruits in total.
However, the trunk of this Soul Tempering Vermilion Fruit was already very thick. It was almost as thick as Zuo Xiaoduo's calf. It was unknown how old it was.
"It seems that this Soul Tempering Fruit Tree has already borne fruit several times."
Xiao Long was also surprised. "But there's plenty of energy here. It's not unusual for it to bear fruit several times."
"Moreover, this fruit will mature after it bears fruit. If it's not eaten, it will fall on the tree roots and become nutrients. Not a single bit will be wasted. Also, I think that earthworm's body is so huge that it must have eaten it once."
Xiao Long frowned and said, "It must have eaten it once. Otherwise, it wouldn't have the ability to split into seventy or eighty pieces and escape. This life-saving skill is quite impressive …"
Zuo Xiaoduo curiously asked, "Well, isn't the ability to split the earthworm's innate ability? It has something to do with this fruit. Does this fruit have any other uses besides healing Divine Soul injuries? "
Xiao Long said, "The earthworm's innate ability can't split so much. And the Soul Tempering Vermilion Fruit's ability to heal injuries is only one of its functions. If a completely healthy person eats it, in addition to strengthening the Divine Soul, it also has the ability to split the soul … In other words, it can split one's soul into several completely independent individuals … "
Zuo Xiaoduo was confused. "What do you mean?"
"Let's put it this way."
Xiao Long thought for a long time before giving an example. "For example, when you go out this time, there will be great danger. But you've eaten this Soul Tempering Vermilion Fruit before, so you can prepare in advance. You can endure a certain amount of pain and split an identical soul in advance … "
"When you go to a safe place … if the original body and the split are fine, they can return to merge. But if the original body's soul is destroyed outside, then the split soul can choose a carrier and continue to live. Its own memories and whatnot will not be lost. Of course, only memories and experience can be preserved. Cultivation can't be preserved, and it needs to be restarted … "
"I understand."
Zuo Xiaoduo nodded in realization.
"What you're talking about is called possession over here," Zuo Xiaoduo said as if he was an expert.
"No, no."
Xiao Long said seriously, "The Soul Tempering Vermilion Fruit's split soul state is fundamentally different from possession. Because if a person's physical body is not completely dead, his soul and body have a close and inseparable connection. If you force your way in at this time, you will only be devoured. The soul and body are one, how can you possess it? So you can only wait until the target dies, which is when the soul completely dissipates, before another person can take advantage of the gap. "
"As long as there's a little bit of remnant, it won't succeed. So this method also has a great risk."
Xiao Long said, "But just the fact that it can provide a chance to start over … is very valuable."
"Some people call this fruit the Reincarnation Fruit, thinking that it can only grow in another world, but it's not. Because there's no need for reincarnation at all … "
It had to be said that Xiao Long was very knowledgeable when it came to these Heaven and Earth treasures. In this aspect, even Li Chenglong was not as good as him.
It was probably because as a consciousness form, it wandered back and forth in these places every day, so it was naturally very familiar with these things.
It was just that it was called differently by humans, but it had its own absolutely correct understanding.
But Zuo Xiaoduo was not worried about this. The more he heard about this thing, the more he felt reluctant to part with it.
"Isn't it a pity to leave this tree here after we pluck the fruit? It's a waste of God's gift! "
Zuo Xiaoduo looked at Xiao Long eagerly, "In the Tower of Annihilation, in our space, can we raise this tree?"
Xiao Long calculated and said, "With the current progress of the Tower of Annihilation, it can barely keep it alive. Burying it in the new Dragon Vein in our space can ensure its survival. But if we want it to continue growing and bear fruit in the future, we'll have to move at least ten Earth Veins in. Also, the powder you made, boss, we'll need a lot more, three to five hundred times more than what we have now … Only then can it possibly grow. "
Zuo Xiaoduo was relieved, "As long as it can live, there's a way. Then I'll transplant this fruit tree completely. The Jade Powder of Astral Souls is not valuable, and after accumulating for a long time, not to mention three to five hundred times, even three to five thousand times more would not be a problem."
Xiao Long nodded, "Since you're confident, boss, then do as you wish."
What Zuo Xiaoduo did not see was that the corners of Xiao Long's mouth curled up slightly. That was a very secret happy expression.
Boss, the more Heavenly Treasures you move in, the better the quality of the Earth Vein we gather. The better the Earth Vein, the faster my growth will be … Heh heh heh …
That was great.
Xiao Long felt very good!
Not everyone could follow such a stingy, stingy, greedy boss who wanted everything!
But if one's own people were greedy and coveted other people's things, it was also a good thing. Why not pack everything in one's own home?!
Take this fruit tree for example. If it had followed a gentleman, it might have been left here to 'wait for the fated person' or something like that.
Look, it followed Zuo so easily, uprooting it directly!
That was the style of a stingy person like him!
He watched as Zuo Xiaoduo carefully put away the nine fruits and used nine boxes carved from the Jade Powder of Astral Souls to store the fruits. Then, he uprooted the fruit tree along with a huge lump of soil that weighed a few thousand kilograms and put it into the space of the Tower of Annihilation. Then, he dug a hole in the Earth Vein and buried the Soul Quenching Fruit Tree in it.
The whole process was as smooth as flowing water. There was no obstruction at all.
And he did it happily.
As he worked, he asked humbly, "Longlong, is there anything taboo in our Earth Vein that cannot be planted?"
Xiao Long thought for a while and said, "In theory, anything can be planted. We just need to separate the Heavenly Treasures that are completely incompatible with each other from a sufficient distance. "
"That's good, that's good."
When Zuo Xiaoduo heard this, he became even more excited.
"Boss, there seems to be a terrain advantage here. There are gentle slopes on both sides, so there are a lot of meteors falling here. Many of those that fall on the slopes also roll down here. The energy is very abundant … This is the main reason why the Soul Quenching Fruit can grow here."
Xiao Long said, "So, there must be a lot of good stuff in the meteorites above …"
Zuo Xiaoduo's eyes lit up and said, "I thought of this a long time ago."
So, starting from the bottom, he put every piece he found into the Space Ring or directly into the Tower of Annihilation. Anyway, the space was big enough. Soon, this place was empty.
And more than a hundred meters below the Soul Quenching Fruit, a piece of meteorite that was several square meters in size was put into the Tower of Annihilation by Zuo Xiaoduo …
Boom!
Unsurprisingly, there was a collapse!
From the surface of the earth, a bottomless pit was formed!
In an instant, the mountains on both sides also began to press in this direction, slowly forming a landslide. Finally, with a rumble, it filled in.
Zuo Xiaoduo knew that this was bad. He hurriedly dug out from the ground and left.
Damn it, I just dug out a few stones, and you actually caused a landslide.
Why didn't you think about it? It was not a big valley in the first place. He dug out tens of thousands of big stones from below. It would be strange if it didn't collapse.
…
Zuo Xiaoduo left quickly.
And in a hidden corner not far from here …
The Four Swords of the Way of the King were covered in wounds. Many parts of their bodies were completely unrecognizable. The centipede's poison had spread all over their bodies. They were beginning to turn into pus. Those parts could only be cut off.
The four of them had all cut themselves into pieces, and only then did they manage to preserve their lives. Although they were struggling at death's door, with their profound cultivation, as long as they could catch their breath, they would naturally be able to recover quickly.
After they left the battle, they found a hidden valley. Coincidentally, there was enough energy here. So, they hurriedly rushed down.
Just like Zuo Xiaoduo, they dug out a huge hole in the ground. The four of them hid inside to heal their wounds.
It was just that they didn't dig very deep. At most, it was only about ten meters deep.
To these experienced people, this was the most normal and ordinary operation. From the outside, it couldn't be seen at all.
But just as the four of them took out medicine and antidotes to consume, and began to wash their bodies with all kinds of spirit liquids, the medicine and poison were resisting, and they were in so much pain that they wished they were dead …
With a crash, the mountains on both sides directly collapsed.
The four of them were at a critical moment. They couldn't move at all. Instantly, they were buried alive. The hole collapsed instantly. Countless huge stones rumbled down like rolling drums …
The four of them didn't know what was going on. They dizzily went all the way down. When they reached a certain depth … suddenly, there seemed to be nothing below!
It was as if they were completely weightless as they fell down!
"There's actually such a huge hole below …"
These four experienced people were all dumbfounded. They fell all the way down. Then, boom, boom, boom. They were all smashed until they were dizzy.
If they were still in their peak condition, they would naturally be able to withstand the collapse of the mountain and fly out.
But it was a pity that not only were they not in their peak condition, they were also at a critical moment of healing. A mouthful of vital energy was resisting the poison. They couldn't use it. It was practically the lowest point of their lives …
So much so that the four Guixuan level super experts were all smashed by the mountain rocks until their noses were bruised and their heads were bleeding!
And, the most terrible thing was … the poison that the four of them were forcing out. Under such circumstances, a moment of distraction caused the poison to rush back!
Some of it even attacked the heart meridians!
The four of them were so depressed that they almost vomited blood!
This time, they were really unlucky. Originally, the four of them had gone to find trouble with the centipede, wanting to make a fortune. They only went because they had enough antidotes on them.
They had also made sufficient preparations.
They had calculated that no matter what, their lives would not be in danger.
But who would have thought that the mountain would collapse while they were in the middle of healing and forcing out the poison!
