Volume 1 Lin Yuan Chapter 12: Mutated Spiritual Fruit
Wang Chen threw a hook upward with force, making a slight sound of metal collision, and tried to pull the rope tied to the end.
Then he pulled the rope and continued to climb upwards.
This section of the mountain is very steep, with few places to stand, making it extremely dangerous for climbers.
But Wang Chen decided to take a risk and continued to climb up using the hook.
This climb took several hours.
After days of climbing, even Wang Chen, who was in good physical condition, was slightly out of breath. His foot barely stepped on a protruding rock, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a huge roar from the top of the mountain, echoing throughout the mountains.
The clouds on the top of the mountain rolled back with a sudden bang, like a burst of air, pushing away the veil covering the mountain.
Some rubble was shaken off and slid down the mountain.
Wang Chen looked up.
The roar seemed to disperse the clouds and mist, and he suddenly discovered that the top of the mountain was not far ahead.
He didn't know what exactly happened on the top of the mountain, but he vaguely felt that it was related to the three strange beasts just now.
The roar just now must have come from the mouth of the golden lion. It was like an air cannonball, and it was obvious that it was in a very bad mood.
Not to mention the proud goat and tank-like yak that can challenge the golden lion.
Going up the mountain at this time is likely to arouse the hostility of these strange beasts, which is not a wise choice.
And judging from the location, this place is directly below the conflict, and falling rocks are very dangerous.
Holding the hook in his hand, he looked around. There was a stone platform in front of him on the left, but it was a bit far away.
And above...
Boom!
Wang Chen just happened to look up and saw a terrible collision happening above.
Just like a terrible thunder exploding in his ears, Wang Chen clearly felt that the entire mountain was shaking violently. Then, rocks rolled down with a rumbling sound, like a landslide.
"Is this fairy mountain going to collapse?"
It felt like a rain of stones was rolling down overhead, and the sight was terrifying.
The small stones were as big as fists, while the large boulders pressed down like a small mountain.
Wang Chen used the hook in his hand with all his might and threw it towards a protruding rock in the front left.
At this time, he had no time to check whether the hook was firm, and he burst out with all his strength and leaped over.
Rocks tumbled down.
At the critical moment, Wang Chen swung a semicircle between the extremely high mountains.
The mountain breeze passed by my ears, exceptionally clear.
Then there was the dull sound of a huge rock hitting the mountain, bringing down debris, but then being bounced off by the hard mountain and falling downwards.
A rock as big as a small hill, sparkling with golden light under the sun, fell down with unstoppable force.
The whistling sound of the wind was like the mountain wind trying to retain the huge rock capping the mountain. The weak airflow was obviously unable to lift such a huge rock.
The irregularly protruding rocks on the mountain were as sharp as a blade, and they passed across Wang Chen's back just like the out-of-reach of the god of death's scythe.
Wang Chen held the hook in his hand, half-crouched to absorb the impact, then turned around and looked in horror at the terrifying huge rock that passed by him.
Then he stood up suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and it seemed as if there was only one thing left in his eyes.
There was a golden plant on the rock wall, with a handful of five-colored fruits on it.
"Mutated spiritual fruit. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth mutates, causing plants to mutate and condense into fruit. The efficacy is unknown, and the strength of the opportunity is unknown."
His intuition told him that this fruit was definitely not an ordinary thing as described in the few lines before him. He stepped hard on the rock and lowered his body slightly. He has always been a decisive person, and he wants to give it a try!
However, he only heard a terrible rumbling sound. He looked up and saw the dazzling sunlight, like colorful beams of light.
And three afterimages, white, yellow and black, swooped down from the light column.
They are three strange beasts: a golden lion, a black bull and a white ram.
The three strange beasts walked on the steep rocks as if they were walking on flat ground.
The fastest one was the black bull. Every step it took was deeply embedded in the rocks, leaving deep hoof prints.
The golden lion runs very lightly, and his lines are very natural and soft, just like a cat climbing a tree.
The goat, with its horns on its head, still walked gracefully and did not fall behind much.
The target of these three strange beasts is obviously the five-colored fruit.
Even though they were far away, the sound of the wind caused by the three strange beasts running wildly still made his hair and clothes flutter violently.
Watching the hill falling into the sea of clouds, Wang Chen could imagine that a battle that could cause the mountain to collapse had just broken out for this five-colored fruit.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Chen's heart instantly regained its calm. After all, opportunities still belong to powerful beings.
"Mortals should still be aware of this." Wang Chen sighed slightly, suppressed the idea of taking risks, and continued to climb upwards.
This scene just now made him figure out some things.
This fairy mountain is most likely an evolutionary circle, rather than the biosphere that I imagined at the foot of the mountain.
From the moment the opportunity began to appear in this fairy mountain, strange beasts devoured the golden plants and evolved. Then all the strange beasts in the entire mountain began to compete for the opportunity. Finally, in this fight for opportunity, three strange beasts took the absolute initiative and became the kings of this fairy mountain.
The king's territory cannot be desecrated. Fortunately, after Wang Chen climbed to a high place, he could not see the existence of other strange beasts, otherwise there might be many more dangers.
At the same time, he was a little suspicious. If there was any aura of fairy mountain opportunity on his body when he was at the foot of the mountain, it might have been torn to pieces and swallowed by the Golden Lion King.
"So, I'm actually... so unpalatable?" Wang Chen didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
When I was eating the prey, I was always complaining about this and that. I was even too lazy to use a knife to cut some of the unpalatable things. I didn't expect that the roles would be reversed at this moment.
The deep footprints left by the yaks extend all the way to the top of the mountain, like a ladder to heaven.
For Wang Chen, who had extensive experience in mountain climbing, the distance of a hundred feet soon came to an end.
The wind was very strong on the top of the mountain, and there was a vast sea of clouds all around.
Standing on the top of the mountain is like being on an isolated island in the sea of clouds.
What meets the eye is a golden color, but it is not dazzling. The rocks here, and even the entire mountain top, present this strange color. This is the unique color of this fairy mountain, just like a volcano erupting golden lava.
The mountain structure here is an irregular circle. It should have been a very flat mountain, but now there are traces of fierce battles everywhere. There are many cracks on the mountain, as well as yak hoof prints. Countless collapsed and broken giant rocks are scattered on the mountain, giving people an inexplicable visual impact of barbaric and violent aesthetics.
Especially the place where Wang Chen climbed up was like being cut diagonally by a divine weapon, and a huge area collapsed.
"This should be the place where the mutated spiritual fruit grew, and it fell down the mountain during the fight."
The sharp and smooth cuts reminded Wang Chen inexplicably of the two giant golden claws of the golden lion.
These three strange beasts are too powerful. Perhaps one day, they will evolve to the point of destroying this fairy mountain.
The night sky, the full moon, an isolated island above the sea of clouds, and a tiny person on the island enjoying the night breeze.
He looked at all this and felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction. Then he walked towards the center of the mountain step by step. With every step , he could feel the friction of gravel on the soles of his feet.
The huge rocks piled there can just block the cold wind on the top of the mountain at night.
The strange beasts that are fighting for the opportunity will not come back for the time being.
Maybe he could stare at the night sky here all night to get some things clear.
The strange and twisted traces of fighting along the way made him inexplicably wonder whether the top of the mountain might be a passage connecting to another space, or whether the space barrier was relatively weak, leaving traces of another world.
If this is true, then sufficient observation will surely yield some clues.
Of course, even if there was no answer to the question, he wanted to stay on the top of the mountain for a night so that he could fly down the mountain when the sun rose and the clouds were the most beautiful.
Along the way, he was very careful to avoid the cracks on the top of the mountain. Some of them were very deep. He suspected that the claws of the golden lion could already release "qi" that was not inferior to that of high-level cultivators.
? ? ? ?
However, when he walked through a crack, four question marks suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and then disappeared as the perspective changed.
Wang Chen was suddenly stunned.
