Chapter 75 Agreement
Walking in this foggy valley with extremely low visibility and dangers, Li Muran was extremely cautious and his behavior was quite slow.
According to the master Zixia Taoist, the location of the Drunken God Fruit is located in the deepest part of Wuluan Valley. Unless it happened to be teleported to the vicinity when entering the valley, it would inevitably have to walk in this valley for a long time.
Li Muran walked in this winding valley all night and day, until the second night came, and finally arrived in front of a narrow mountain road called "Yi Line Sky".
It is only twenty or thirty feet wide and seventy or eighty feet long. There are cliffs on both sides of it. Looking up at the bottom of the valley, you can only see a slender light.
After passing through this line of heaven, the Queen is only a few miles away from where the Drunken God Fruit is. Although she is close to her goal, Li Muran stopped outside the line of heaven, looked at the road ahead in a concentration, and stood for half a stick of incense, but did not step into the line of heaven.
Suddenly, Li Muran's expression moved. He stretched out his finger and bounced a fire, hitting an inconspicuous rock more than ten feet away.
The rocks shattered in the fire, but at this moment, a dense sword light suddenly shot out from the rock walls on both sides, as if they were storms and rains, and then stopped abruptly.
"It seems that those disciples of the Sword Spirit Sect have already arrived first!" Li Muran frowned.
"However, it is very likely that they have not yet obtained the Drunken God Fruit, otherwise they should have left here and the mechanisms arranged here will be meaningless and will probably be taken back."
Li Muran used another fire explosion technique to hit the rocks in the sky. Sure enough, a dense sword light shot out from the rock wall again, and then it stopped soon.
"It should be a very complex mechanism, and it is difficult to crack in a short period of time." Li Muran said in his heart that he sacrificed the talisman paper crane and slowly flew into the air dozens of feet in a row, and then continued to use the flame explosion technique to hit the surrounding rock walls to explore the way.
After that, no sword light shot out. It seemed that the mechanism controlled the limit was limited, covering only the narrow passage below, and had no ability to affect the air.
Li Muran slowly passed through Yishitian from mid-air. After reaching the center of Yishitian, Li Muran suddenly stopped, then took out a stack of talismans from his arms, raised his hands continuously, pasted the talismans on the surrounding rock walls, and quickly arranged a talisman array. Finally, he sacrificed another hidden talisman. Suddenly, the surface of the talismans flashed, and then all disappeared.
"Be prepared for any trouble!" Li Muran looked at the talisman array he set up, nodded with satisfaction, and then carefully passed through a thread of the sky under the cover of the magic shield.
As soon as he came out of the first ray of heaven, Li Muran heard a little movement from afar. However, there was still a sensation here, and there was no sight in the distance.
After Li Muran approached carefully, the movements became clearer. There were the sounds of human monks shouting loudly, the sound of roaring magic, the sound of sharp air-breaking from the sword, and even the low roar of beasts, which was very chaotic.
"It seems that the fight is being fought, and it is very intense!" Li Muran's heart moved and accelerated his pace. If the other party is in a melee, it would be a rare opportunity for him.
After rushing out of layers of fog, Li Muran finally arrived outside a very secret cave in Wuluan Valley - the Drunken God Fruit grew in this cave. At this time, seven or eight figures outside the cave were fighting fiercely, and it was very lively!
After walking within a hundred feet, Li Muran finally understood what was happening here:
Four disciples of Danxin Sect are holding their own magic weapons, and three other disciples of the Sword Spirit Sect are holding their own swords. They are not fighting each other, but they are actually working together to deal with a huge lizard-like monster trapped by a giant net.
The monster was ten feet long, and when it stood up, it was more than three feet tall. It had a thick layer of leather armor on its body, and a sword was inserted on its back, but the sword body was only about half a foot in it - this depth would not be a fatal injury to this giant.
"Iron Armored Dragon! Level 4 Monster Beast!" Li Muran was shocked and recognized the origin of the Monster Beast at a glance.
Moreover, he clearly felt that the aura of this iron-armored dragon was unfathomable and must be an adult monster. According to classics, the adult iron-armored dragon is a level 4 monster, equivalent to a cultivator in the early stage of Shenyou, and is very powerful!
"A level 4 monster, the Iron Armored Dragon, appeared here. I wonder if it was the guardian monster of the Drunken God Fruit, or it happened to be led here by other cultivators! Well, there is a level 4 monster present, no wonder these people have not yet left!" Li Muran's heart moved. Since they have not succeeded here, he still has a glimmer of chance!
"I don't know what kind of magic weapon this giant net is, which can actually trap a level 4 monster!" Li Muran said in his heart, staring at this scene coldly from the side.
The Danxin Sect and the Sword Spirit Sect monks who were fighting with the Iron Armored Dragon also saw Li Muran walking out of the fog, and were slightly surprised.
"Hey, I didn't expect that this guy from Yuanfu Sect could get here alone, so he was a little capable!" said a young disciple of Danxin Sect. He was very loud, obviously reminding his companions to notice that someone was coming.
Li Muran recognized that this young disciple was Liu Qing, the senior brother of the "Four Heroes of Qingyun" under the seat of Elder Qu of Danxin Sect.
As for the other three Qingyun Four Heroes, Tian Yun, Zong Si and Lu Jie, they were all by his side.
The three disciples of the Sword Spirit Sect on the side were led by Fang Jianqiu, and the other two were his junior brothers. The seven cultivators here were all in the late stages of Qi and Meridian cultivation without exception.
Li Muran, who had just arrived here, is also a late-stage cultivator of Qi and Meridians. The only middle-stage disciple of Qi and Meridians who came here - a junior brother of Fang Jianqiu, was lying several feet away from the cry of the iron-armored dragon. His breath was gone, and his death was quite terrifying. If Li Muran had not seen this person a few days ago, he would probably not have recognized his body.
"Hmph! Brother Liu, the disciples of you and me are fighting fairly, don't let this kid take the opportunity to take advantage!" Fang Jianqiu snorted at Li Muran, and then said coldly to Liu Qing.
Tian Yun, the only female cultivator present - the Four Masters of Qingyun, smiled disdainfully: "It's not too late to work together to deal with this monster first, and then kill that boy! I, the Four Masters of Qingyun, keep my word. As long as I, the four masters of the fourth-level monster, belong to me, what's the harm in giving the Drunken God Fruit to you!"
"Excellent, just do it!" Fang Jianqiu's mouth curled slightly, and then looked at Li Muran coldly.
"Oh no, they actually reached an agreement!" Li Muran felt a stern.
After thinking about it, Li Muran roughly understood the intentions of these people. The monks from both sides didn't know which party arrived here first. They were about to take away the Drunken God Fruit, but they encountered this powerful fourth-level monster, Iron Armored Dragon; then the monks from the other party also arrived here.
Both sides have ulterior motives, so naturally they are unwilling to fight the monsters to the death. If both sides suffer losses, the command will make the other side get a bargain, so they will be in a stalemate for a long time.
Perhaps the level 4 monster was about to escape, and these disciples knew that they could not continue to delay, so they established a verbal agreement:
The Drunken God Fruit was given to Fang Jianqiu and other disciples of the Sword Spirit Sect, and the level 4 monster materials belonged to the Four Masters of Qingyun. The condition of the agreement was that the two parties joined forces to kill the monster.
On the surface, the value of the Drunken God Fruit is definitely much greater than that of the Level 4 monster material, but even if they get the Drunken God Fruit, they cannot enjoy it themselves. Instead, they have to present it to their respective masters, and at most they can get some rewards; the Level 4 monster material is a treasure that is hard to come by. It can easily sell thousands or even tens of thousands of spirit stones in the market, which is definitely more rewards than the master.
This agreement prevents both parties from fighting each other and is beneficial to both parties, so it can get the consent of both parties. However, Li Muran's arrival has an additional uncertain factor.
Li Muran stood dozens of feet away, silently watching the scene, neither approaching too close to avoid being attacked by those people; not being too far away, so that he would have no chance to get involved in the Drunken God Fruit.
The Four Masters of Qingyun, Fang Jianqiu and others continued to attack the unlucky level 4 monster, and seemed not to take Li Muran seriously. A monk who had just advanced to the late stage of Qi and was alone, and was not afraid at all.
The four Qingyun masters were working together to control a huge golden copper ring. The four of them gathered their magic power and poured into the copper ring. The copper ring rushed towards the iron-armored dragon with amazing power.
Although this copper ring is huge, it is not fast. The iron-armored dragon could easily avoid it, but it was entangled by the huge net on its body and could not break free. It could only lower its head and bear it with its iron-hard skull.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, the copper ring more than ten feet tall was shocked and retreated back. The Iron Armored Dragon also staggered in a flash and almost fell down.
Although the skull of the Iron-Armored Dragon was not broken, a large piece of the surface was also scratched, and blood flowed out.
"These four people should have been practicing the same martial arts. They can easily combine magic powers and control a magic weapon together! Although this copper ring is of high quality, if they use one person's power, they will never be able to use such power!" Li Muran said in his heart: "As for that giant net, what is the origin of it? Even the fourth-level monster cannot break free from it!"
Fang Jianqiu and the other two held a long sword in their hands, but the other hand was holding a silver chain. This silver chain was several feet long. Fang Jianqiu held the middle section of the silver chain, and the other two held one end, which was very strange.
However, after the three of them waved the sword in their hands, the sword lights they slashed out could actually melt into a piece and turn into a sharper sword light to slash out.
This sword light is several times stronger than the sword light slashed by ordinary disciples of the late stage of the Sword Spirit Sect Qi vein. If it is slashed on the hard spine of the Iron Armored Dragon, only shallow sword marks are left, but if it is slashed on its softer abdomen and face, a deep bloody mouth will be left.
Li Muran Daqi: "These three people can actually join forces. The swords in their hands are of different attributes, but they can easily merge. Obviously, it is not because of the same cultivation techniques, but it is probably related to the silver chain they hold!"
