617 Return to the Sea
The feeling of being able to feel the increase in one’s strength was extremely intoxicating and difficult to extricate oneself from.
“Good spirit fruit!”
Li Xiang didn’t hesitate. After finishing one peach, he immediately picked the second and the third.
There were many peaches on the tree, and the leaves were lush. It was impossible to tell how many fruits were on this tree.
!!
“Pick them all. All the warriors will have a share.” Li Xiang said.
“Many thanks, Country Lord!”
The other warriors were already drooling when they saw this. When they heard the order, they immediately responded with excitement.
The peaches were picked and quickly distributed. Everyone could only eat one. Even so, all the warriors were delighted. They pick up the peaches and put them in their mouths. They experienced the strange taste of the spirit fruit in their hands and revealed intoxicated expressions.
“It’s so delicious! I’ve never had such a delicious peach before. It’s so fresh!” Zhao Sheng praised loudly.
“This peach is rich in Spiritual Qi. If I can refine it, it will be of great help to my cultivation. However, compared to the taste, the Spiritual Qi is not very important,” said Zhao Yun with a smile as he ate.
It was true that the peach was a spirit fruit and contained Spiritual Qi. However, it did not increase cultivation by much. It could only be said to be helpful to cultivation, but it did not have an immediate effect.
“Good stuff! I want this peach tree!”
Li Xiang looked at the fruit tree that the fruits had all been picked and immediately made a decision. It was better to take such fruit trees with him.
At his command, the warriors who had finished eating the peaches immediately took out their shovels and started digging around. They were careful not to cause any damage to the roots.
With the power of the transcendents, the digging speed was naturally very fast. In the blink of an eye, all the roots had been dug out.
Li Xiang reached out and touched it. Then the huge peach tree disappeared.
When it reappeared, it was already in the grotto-heaven world of the power of Stars. The peach tree, which had been a little withered, immediately regained its color and was full of Spiritual Qi.
Under the stimulation of the rich Spiritual Qi in the grotto-heaven, there were faint signs that it was about to blossom and bear fruit again.
“What good luck! What a good foundation!”
The old beggar said with a strange light in his eyes as if he had seen something.
After he finished speaking, he did not intend to continue the conversation. He leaned against the corner, lay down, and fell asleep.
Li Xiang took a deep breath and ordered, “Let’s take this time to rest. We still have countless battles to face tomorrow.”
…
It was a quiet night.
The assassins were scared out of their wits by the old beggar. The sentence ‘come into the bowl quickly’ was like a curse that kept appearing in their minds. It was like a nightmare that they couldn’t break free from.
As long as the old beggar was still around, no one wanted to get close to him.
This wasn’t a head-on battle but they had been sucked into a bowl and died without even knowing why. This kind of inexplicable death was too aggrieving and too terrifying.
The fear among the foreign race assassins made the night unusually peaceful. No accidents happened.
Li Xiang and the others spent the night safely.
“That old beggar has disappeared!”
Early in the morning, Alice came to report.
As expected, the place where the old beggar had been lying was already empty. They didn’t even know when he had left.
“He should be a legendary person. Those who can survive in the wilderness all have magical powers and unique abilities.” Li Xiang was not surprised.
It would not be strange for such a legendary person to make any decisions.
“We’ll have our meal here. Then we’ll set off immediately.”
Li Xiang looked up at the sky. It was still dark as if a storm was coming.
All the warriors had already started to eat their breakfast.
No one spoke. After eating, they checked the weapons in their hands, tidied up their armor, and adjusted their spirit to their best state.
“Line up!”
“Let’s go!”
The army arranged themselves in neat rows and moved with a loud bang.
They walked in an orderly manner, giving off an invisible pressure.
In the sky, the clouds rolled and changed.
Suddenly, raindrops began to fall from the sky.
The rain did not stop the army’s advance but they continued to firmly advance. With the body of a transcendent, this little bit of rain would not have any effect on them.
Their soaked clothes could also be quickly dried with genuine Qi.
After walking through the rain for more than an hour, the rain became heavier and heavier. It had turned from a drizzling rain to a heavy downpour.
However, no one noticed that the color of the dark clouds in the sky had started to become a little strange. From the initial gray-black color, it was now dyed with a layer of dark green. There was also a hint of unremarkable green in the rain. These raindrops fell on their bodies and began to seep into their flesh and blood.
“Something’s wrong. There’s something wrong with this rain! The rain is poisonous! Everyone, listen up! Immediately release your protective layer to block the rain.”
Li Xiang suddenly noticed a drop of rain falling from his wrist. With his control over his body, he immediately felt that there was a strange poison in this drop of rain, which was drilling into his flesh.
This rain contained deadly poison.
“The rain is poisonous? It’s those foreign races who released the poison into the rain clouds, letting the poison fall with the rain. It can kill people without leaving a trace in this way.”
Zhao Yun looked up into the sky. With his sharp senses, he could sense the jade-green poison gas within the rain clouds. The only ones who could release poison at this time were the foreign races. Moreover, it might have been a race that was extremely good at using poison.
Sizzle…
All the warriors activated their cultivation techniques and formed a protective layer around their bodies. When the poisonous water fell on the protective layer, one could immediately see that the domineering poison made a terrifying sound of corrosion on the surface of the layer.
The poisonous rain was corroding their protective layers, and the genuine Qi in their bodies was being consumed rapidly.
Swoosh…
In the sky, a strong wind swept over. The wind helped the rain, causing the poisonous rain to fall even more densely and violently. The poisonous water fell to the ground, making a sizzling sound and Black Qi rising.
The surrounding trees all withered, showing a terrifying scene of extinction.
After the poisonous rain, the nearby area would probably be barren.
The harm of the deadly poison was too great.
“Water and fire are merciless, and it’s even mixed with poison! We have to disperse the poisonous rain clouds in the sky, or the army can’t hold on for long.”
Ye Qiu’s eyes flashed with worry.
In the face of the dense poisonous rain, even the protective layer might not be able to last long. Once the genuine Qi was exhausted, the warriors would be completely exposed to the poisonous rain.
“Hmph! If I don’t show you something, you don’t know you should take another look at me!”
Li Xiang looked up at the poisonous clouds in the sky and sneered. He stretched out his hand. Then he shook his hand in the void and shouted, “Return to the sea!”
Whoosh!
The countless raindrops that fell from the void instantly gathered in Li Xiang’s hand.
