Chapter 255 Amazing, My Scaled Vine!
Chapter 255 Amazing, My Scaled Vine!
These past two days, the crack area has been quiet and peaceful.
Wenwen and the others cultivated in the cave. The little wolf cub had food and water and stopped howling. After eating and drinking its fill, it would sleep.
As for Aying, this bird is even more of a homebody.
It never left the crevice; its activity was limited to the pool and the cave, living a life of going back and forth between two points. For a bird that is used to flying, it would be difficult for it not to flap its wings a few times a day or to go out and soar back and forth a few times a day.
At this moment, Aying was staring intently at the Gengyan fruit in front of her; it would take about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea for it to ripen.
At the last moment, it cannot let its guard down. Although its master has set up several formations on the crack, which should theoretically be able to withstand ordinary demonic beasts, no one dares to guarantee anything.
Although it thought that there might not be many demon beasts who recognized this fruit and knew its wonderful uses, it was just a coincidence that it encountered it. There was no guarantee that other demon beasts would have the same opportunity. Therefore, it was always necessary to be vigilant and take precautions.
Time passed slowly, and Wenwen and the others emerged from the cave one after another.
Seeing Aying's serious and prepared demeanor, Wenwen teased her, "Aying, is this really necessary?"
Aying ignored her completely, not even glancing at her, and stared intently at the fruit in front of her.
At this time, the outer layer of the fruit slowly changes. The outer skin gradually cracks, withers and falls off at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing round, translucent, yellow and white fruits inside. This is the true appearance of Gengyan fruit.
With each peeling of the outer skin, the fruity aroma intensifies. Gradually, the aroma fills the bottom of the crack, gradually accumulating and permeating the crack, rising and eventually drifting out of the crack and dispersing into the sky.
At this moment, it wasn't just Aying who was gathered around the fruit; the Wen family members also stood in several corners, surrounding the fruit.
Wen Chengbin took a deep breath. "It smells good. This flavor is really unique."
Wen Qiyuan: "You brat, tell me, what's unique about it?"
"..." Wen Chengbin stammered, then turned to Wen Chengjian and asked, "Brother, what do you think?"
Wen Chengjian thought to himself, "You're quite good at changing the subject. I think it's like some kind of herb was mixed into the pineapple preserves, but I can't remember what it is for the moment."
Bang bang bang!
"Screech—"
Just as Wenwen was about to speak, a crashing sound came from above the crack, accompanied by several sharp screams.
Wen Chengbin was the first to stand up, looking up and exclaiming, "Oh dear, there's a demonic beast breaking the formation!"
Several Qi Refining Level 3 eagles appeared above the crack, crashing into the array's light shield. Their powerful bodies, sharp claws, and beaks were their weapons, and a series of impacts reached Wenwen and the others' ears.
Protected by several layers of formations, the others remained silent and continued to stare at the Gengyan Fruit.
As the outer skin of the Gengyan fruit gradually peels off, the harvest is in sight.
Just then, a Qi Refining Level 5 eagle pierced through the formation and flew to the bottom of the crack, its sharp claws embedding themselves in Wen Chengbin's shoulder.
"Ah—" Wen Chengbin only had time to shout once before the eagle flapped its wings and soared into the sky, lifting Wen Chengbin off the ground and carrying him high into the air.
This all happened in an instant. By the time Wenwen reacted, the eagle was already far away from the crack.
"Second Brother—" Wenwen activated all her spiritual power and quickly chased after him.
"You two stay here."
Wen Qilin left only one sentence before going out with them.
Aying looked up at the departing figure, then looked down at Gengyan fruit.
......
Wen Chengbin never expected that he would have this experience.
At this moment, he was being carried by the eagle, hundreds of meters off the ground. Judging from the frequency of the eagle's wing flapping, he estimated that it would fly even higher, and his heart was in his throat.
If he didn't find a way out, he worried that he would be pecked to death by this demonic bird. What if it ate him alive in the air and dumped his body in the mountains? His family wouldn't be able to find him then.
No, he hasn't lived enough yet. He hasn't been to the immortal city described in the stories. He still has many ideals to fulfill and many delicacies from the immortal realm to taste.
No!
no! !
He needs to save himself!!!
As soon as the thought arose, Wen Chengbin disregarded the pain in his shoulder and immediately circulated his spiritual power, intending to cast a spell.
Damn it, where exactly did that damn bird pierce his shoulder meridian? His spiritual energy is blocked, he can't cast any spells, and he can't even take out the swords from his storage bag.
Wen Chengbin looked dejected as he watched his blood slowly flow down his shoulder, down his palm, and drip from his fingertips.
Suddenly, he remembered the short stick he had tied to his waist, a vine and withered branch he had picked up on the road to exile. Later, Wenwen told him that the vine had a name, called the Spotted Scale Vine, so he named his handy weapon the Twin King Vine.
After practicing my cultivation last night, I twirled my staff in the cracked open space for a while, but forgot to put it back in my storage bag.
Thank goodness he didn't put it in his storage bag, so he now has a weapon he can use.
Wen Chengbin looked down and saw that the mountains beneath his feet had become black dots. He didn't know how high he was above the ground. He felt as if he had touched the clouds and was filled with a death wish.
Despite the pain in his shoulder, Wen Chengbin took out the Double King Vine, gripped it with both hands, and forcefully swung it at the eagle.
Unexpectedly, when he grasped the Twin King Vine with both hands, the blood on his palms was immediately absorbed by the Twin King Vine. The Twin King Vine, having absorbed the blood, turned red and instantly flashed a red light, which struck the eagle's head.
The strange phenomenon changed in an instant. Wen Chengbin was completely unaware of it, but the eagle that was struck by the red light was stunned. Its figure, which was climbing rapidly, suddenly tilted and slid down, falling straight down.
Terrified, Wen Chengbin screamed, "Ah—fly slower, fly slower, ah—"
The eagle landed until it could clearly see the tall mountains and trees below before it regained its balance and slowly flapped its wings to maintain flight.
Then, before Wen Chengbin could react, Cangying suddenly spoke.
"Okay, I'll fly slower."
Terrified, wasn't he? Wen Chengbin's mouth gaped open in fright, and he gripped the Shuangwang Teng tightly in his hand until his hands were covered in sweat without even feeling it.
The next second, the eagle tossed Wen Chengbin upwards and, with a cool drift turn, swooped down and caught the falling Wen Chengbin.
Wen Chengbin originally thought he was going to be smashed to pieces, but he was caught halfway down. In a moment of desperation, he grabbed the bird's neck with his hands and feet. He was going all out and had a wild idea to discuss with the eagle.
"Brother Eagle, please have mercy and let's make a deal. Fly lower before you eat me, my meat isn't actually that tasty."
