On the other hand, Li Ying Qiong and Yang Xiao had consumed the Vermilion Fruit. Li Ying Qiong had the blessing of cleansing her marrow, and Yang Xiao had also obtained the opportunity to consolidate his foundation and cultivate his Yuan Qi. The power of his Pure Yang True Qi had increased by quite a bit.
The three horse bears stood guard at the side and did not dare to disturb them. Only when Yang Xiao and the other man woke up did they carefully come forward and bow with cupped hands.
Yang Xiao helped the horse bear up. The horse bears quickly took out many sealwort, Chinese yam, and Chinese Knotweed. The two of them ate a big meal, but there were no more Vermilion Fruits.
After the two of them finished eating, one of the older horse bears pointed at the giant monster's corpse not far away and then pointed at the distant mountain. Yang Xiao nodded his head and said with an indifferent smile,"Fine, since we've met, I'll help you guys to the end.”
Li Ying Qiong couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Yang, do you know what they mean?”
Yang Xiao explained," I know. It said that there is another giant monster like this in the mountains far away. It seems to be a female." In that case, the one I killed before was very likely a male. They want us to help them get rid of the pests and kill the female monster in the mountain.”
"I see!" Li Ying Qiong was instantly enlightened, her heart filled with admiration for Yang Xiao. Not only was his sword arts superb, he also knew a lot, and he seemed to be a good person.
"Since ancient times, there have been many dragons and snakes in the remote mountains and marshes. There were often many mandrill woodsmen living in the deep valley and ancient cave that were rarely visited by humans. At first, they thought that it was just a legend and an illusory thing. Now, it seemed that the giant monster was very likely to be a mandrill. It was old and intelligent, and it was extremely strong. If an ordinary person encountered it, it would be difficult to deal with it.”
When Li Ying Qiong heard that the monster was so powerful, her heart also palpitated. However, after consuming the Vermilion Fruit, she gained some strength and was eager to try.
Seeing Li Ying Qiong's expression, how could Yang Xiao not know what she was thinking? He immediately smiled and said,"Let's go and meet that mandrill.”
Following that, Yang Xiao called over the three horse bears and told them to lead the way while he and Li Ying Qiong followed behind. Li Ying Qiong carried her sword case and puffed out her chest, looking like a great hero who was helping the people get rid of evil. Yang Xiao smiled and shook his head. He knew that Li Ying Qiong had admired her father Li Ning since she was young and loved martial arts. However, she had always been suppressed by her father, and the result now seemed to be counterproductive. Moreover, after interacting with Li Ying Qiong for a while, Yang Xiao also gradually felt that Li Ying Qiong's mental age seemed to be slightly younger than her actual age. Perhaps it was because she had lived in a mountain village since she was young or for some other reason, this caused him to have a good impression of this female lead.
The three horse bears brought the two of them over the hill and arrived at a flat land that was 100 mu in size. There were more than 1,000 horse bears gathered on the flat land, looking like three monsters.
Seeing so many monsters, Li Ying Qiong couldn't help but gasp. Yang Xiao was also slightly surprised. He had long known that there were quite a number of horse bears, but he did not expect that there were actually so many. Just as the two of them were in shock, they saw thousands of horse bears being led by the three in front of them to kneel down together, creating a huge commotion.
Li Ying Qiong wasn't afraid, standing at a high place and waving her arms. Yang Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He didn't want to be the king of the mountain for Ma Xiong.
After a long time, the leader, Ma Xiong, brought the two to a mountain wall. There was a huge stone slab in front of the mountain wall, which was estimated to weigh about 10,000 pounds.
The old horse and the bear drew for a long time before they understood. It turned out that behind the stone slab was a cave, where the mandrill hid its food. Li Ying Qiong didn't waste any time. She pulled out Zi Ying and chopped the stone slab into pieces, revealing a hole that was three zhang tall.
The two of them entered the cave to take a look. Good heavens, the sealwort, Chinese yam, and other mountain products in the cave were piled up like mountains. There was also a pile of monster skeletons beside him, and he could vaguely tell that they were all horse bears. There were a few mountain products that were about to turn into human shapes in the innermost part. They had noses and eyes. Their eyes immediately lit up. They knew that this was definitely a legendary treasure that was more than a thousand years old. After consuming such a heavenly treasure, not only could it prolong one's life, but it could also increase one's cultivation. It was extraordinary.
Just as the two of them were rejoicing, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook, and the horse bears outside howled. Yang Xiao frowned and shouted," Not good! The mandrill is back! Let's go out!"”
Hearing this, Li Ying Qiong didn't have the mood to care about those thousand year old treasures and followed Yang Xiao out of the cave. At this moment, those thousand horse bears had already scattered, their whereabouts unknown.
" Hmph!" Yang Xiao snorted coldly." A mere mandrill dares to make such a ruckus? He deserves to be killed!"”
Not long after, the mandrill had already arrived in front of him. When it saw that the stone slab it had used to block the cave had been shattered by someone, it was instantly furious and immediately pounced towards Yang Xiao.
"You overestimate yourself." Yang Xiao secretly activated his mystic technique and spat out his Pure Yang True Origin. The Underworld Immortal Sword on his back immediately flew out of its sheath, turning into a pure yellow stream of light that whistled through the air.
Although the mandrill was quite capable, it was unable to withstand Yang Xiao, who was a successful cultivator. The sword light instantly pierced through its body, and its water-tank-sized head was cut off. Blood spurted out like a pillar and splattered in the air. A rain of blood fell in a radius of more than a hundred feet.
No one knew where these horse bears were hiding. There was no trace of them before, but the moment the mandrill died, they all jumped out again and surrounded Yang Xiao and Li Ying Qiong. They started to 'cheer' and then surrounded the mandrill's corpse to tear it apart. Yang Xiao and Li Ying Qiong did not stop them. The hatred between these two sides was already very deep. Fortunately, these horse bears still knew how to repay kindness and were extremely respectful towards the two.
Yang Xiao and Li Ying Qiong split the spoils and each consumed those thousand year old spirit items to cultivate. Currently, Li Ying Qiong could only absorb them with a shallow cultivation method, so it was naturally a waste. However, to Yang Xiao, it was a great tonic that could not be better.
In the evening, Ma Xiong served food, and among them, there were a few Vermillion Fruits. Yang Xiao then remembered that there was still such a treasure waiting for him. The next morning, he quickly instructed Ma Xiong to bring him there. Li Ying Qiong naturally did not want to fall behind and followed. The group passed through the mountains and saw a lone peak that suddenly rose up. It was hundreds of feet high, and the top of the mountain was filled with many unknown strange flowers and fruits. There was a very long and deep stream below the peak. The water was flowing and the sound of the spring was noisy.
All of a sudden, the horse bear that was walking in front stopped and looked at a cave beside the stream with great fear and caution. The cave was six to seven feet in circumference, dark and seemed to be very deep. Beside the cave was a strange-looking big stone. On the stone was a small tree that was only 10 feet tall and as red as coral. It had vermilion stems and green leaves. It was very clean and there were hundreds of red fruits on the tree.
Yang Xiao followed Ma Xiong's gaze and looked into the hole. Two green lights flashed, and with a whoosh, a monkey-like monster appeared. Its body was covered in yellow fur, and it was five to six feet long. Its two arms were longer than the monster's body. His hands were like bird claws, thin and long. He had golden hair. It had two round eyes that shone with a green light and were as big as copper bells. Looking up, it jumped down faster than an arrow. It roared like a wolf and stretched out its two bird claws. It jumped up to three to five feet high and grabbed the head of the horse bear in front of it. Its body technique was extremely agile and fast like lightning.
Frowning slightly, Yang Xiao immediately performed a sword incantation gesture and unsheathed the Underworld Immortal Sword. The monster was shocked to realize that someone had ambushed it, but it was too late. The pure yellow sword light still pierced through its left shoulder blade and cut off half of its body. In an instant, blood spurted out. The monster staggered a few steps and fell headfirst.
As he had read the original novel, he knew that this monster, Mu Ba, had a spiritual Sui in his brain. Hence, Yang Xiao once again drove the sword light to cut open the monster's head and took out an object. It was a transparent jade pillar that emitted a red and green luster. It looked like jade but was not jade, and it looked like a pearl but was not a pearl. It was slightly heavy in his hand and he casually put it into the Qiankun Bag at his waist. He immediately rushed to the front of the Vermilion Fruit Tree impatiently.
After counting, Yang Xiao was overjoyed. There were no less than two hundred Vermilion Fruits on this tree. Even if he gave some to Li Ying Qiong and Ma Xiong, he would be able to obtain enough.
Immediately, he quickly took action and plucked all of the nearly two hundred Scarlet Fruits. He kept a hundred of them and gave the rest to Li Ying Qiong and the horses.
He had no choice. He was now playing the role of a righteous sword immortal. Naturally, he had to act more like one to be more popular!
After returning to Ma Xiong's cave, Yang Xiao was about to bid his farewell when the sky suddenly darkened. Thunder rumbled around him, and soon after, heavy rain poured down. This caused him to involuntarily smile bitterly."The heavens are truly unpredictable!"
