Chapter 356
359. Chapter 359: New Cross-Dimensional Point
"Can this Shanyi's blood really cure poison?"
Deep in the dangerous zone, several people were clearing the way forward. At this time, Jiang Mingtian shook the bottle of collected blood in his hand and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Before leaving, Li Yi collected all the blood that dripped when the Shanyi was injured before, and then distributed it to everyone.
"It should be. Anyway, take it first. If you're really bitten by some poisonous creature, it can save your life," Li Yi said, looking at the huge strange beast with wings on its back beside him, and couldn't help but exclaim: "This Shanyi's vitality is truly terrifying. Only half an hour has passed, and during that time I only fed it a box of extraordinary nutrient solution, and now it has already recovered seven or eight-tenths."
"In that case, can it participate in battle next?" Zhao Fangji asked.
Li Yi asked the Shanyi, and the Shanyi chirped and nodded in response.
"No problem, it can fight," Li Yi replied afterward.
The Shanyi was very smart and had a strong learning ability. As long as one was willing to teach it, it was estimated that it would be able to fully understand human speech in a few days, and could even cultivate like a human. Some extraordinary creatures even had cultivation speeds exceeding some geniuses in the Golden Academy. If cultivated seriously, its future would definitely be limitless.
"As long as it can participate in battle, our trip will be much easier," Hu Fei said.
As the group continued to advance.
After walking for a few kilometers, the Shanyi in the team suddenly became restless. It seemed to have discovered some danger, then flapped its wings, and its massive body rushed toward a corner of the mountain forest at an incredible speed. Everyone only saw a series of afterimages flash by, and then the Shanyi was gone.
But soon, a huge sound came from the mountain forest; the Shanyi seemed to be fighting some extraordinary creature.
However, the commotion came and went quickly.
Before long, the battle ended.
Afterward, the Shanyi was seen running back with the corpse of a creature in its mouth.
Hu Fei took a look and showed shock: "A Soul Realm-level extraordinary creature was killed by the Shanyi in such a short time?"
Extraordinary creatures that could survive in the depths of the dangerous zone must not be weak, but facing the Shanyi, it was like encountering a nemesis. The battle was decided in just over ten seconds, determining life and death. And strangely, this extraordinary creature was so close to the Shanyi's territory, why wasn't it killed before?
But afterward, Hu Fei understood.
This was the Shanyi deliberately keeping it alive, leaving it nearby as reserve food. If it couldn't catch prey one day, it would take action against its neighbor.
Now the Shanyi solved its neighbor on the way, surely thinking that it probably wouldn't stay here after this trip, so there was no need to keep reserve food.
The previous Feathered Snake was probably also the Shanyi's reserve food.
After all, the Shanyi's blood can cure all poisons, which is the nemesis of that Feathered Snake. And keeping two neighbors that can be killed at any time can also serve as a warning. If an enemy appears one day, it must appear near the neighbor first. At that time, seeing the neighbor killed, the Shanyi can also assess the strength of the enemy and decide whether to fight or flee.
After carefully deliberating, Hu Fei felt emotional inside. This is full of great knowledge about the way of survival, not as simple as it looks on the surface.
After Li Yi used the storage artifact to collect the corpse of this extraordinary creature, he threw a few bottles of extraordinary nutrient solution to the Shanyi as compensation, and then said: "Since the Shanyi will solve the extraordinary creatures on the road, we don't need to waste time. Let's hurry to the location of the strange fruit. Zhao Fangji said before that a person named Qin Gang has already taken a group of experts there. I'm afraid we won't get anything if we go late."
"Fine, then speed up the action." Everyone nodded in agreement.
Afterward, the Shanyi cleared the way in front, and the few followed closely behind.
The extraordinary creatures encountered along the way, whether they were Spirit Perception Realm or Soul Realm, were all killed. And the Shanyi indeed showed extraordinary value. Not a single extraordinary creature encountered was its opponent, and they couldn't even escape. This made Li Yi feel more and more pleasantly surprised.
It seems the previous analysis was very correct; the Shanyi is indeed a strange species close to mythical.
And Li Yi harvested the corpses of over a dozen extraordinary creatures along the way.
"This forest seems a bit different from the previous one. Have you noticed? The trees here are getting taller and taller, and the mountain peaks are getting more and more towering..." On the way, Jiang Mingtian noticed something wrong and reminded them.
Li Yi also discovered this problem. This situation can no longer be described as a change, but the environment and landform here are already very different from the original world.
"Zhao Fangji, are you sure the direction is correct?"
Zhao Fangji said seriously: "Correct. If we go further, we will walk out of the forest, and then we can see a canyon. In the canyon, there are miraculous trees growing, and on those trees grow silver strange fruits."
Although everyone was suspicious, there was no way, they could only bite the bullet and walk on.
Sure enough.
After advancing for a few more kilometers, the view in front suddenly opened up.
Sunlight shone down, and in front was an open mountain valley. In the valley, wild winds howled, wild grass grew everywhere, and strange rocks were jagged. The mountain peaks on both sides stood like two peerless divine weapons, towering and magnificent. In the distant sky came bursts of chirping from birds of prey. This sound made the Shanyi restless and uneasy, wanting to rush out and compete with them.
"This, this, this damn place is simply not on Earth. Zhao Fangji, can you really not tell? This is clearly another world. We have crossed dimensions," Jiang Mingtian couldn't help but roar.
Hu Fei's gaze was burning as he said: "I understand. This forest connects to another world; it's a cross-dimensional point. It's just that the two mountain forests overlap in height, so it was hidden very well and has never been discovered."
"A cross-dimensional point? I really don't know much about this," Zhao Fangji scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "When I came here before, I didn't think so much. I just felt that this place was a bit different from other places. I thought it was a landform change after the Heaven Tilt, and didn't think about another world."
Li Yi said: "Whether it's a cross-dimensional point or not is not important. What's important is to complete the purpose of our trip."
Afterward, he looked up, and soon.
He locked his target on a large tree growing in the middle of the canyon. That large tree was at least twenty meters tall, with lush branches and leaves, and a verdant canopy. On it grew silver strange fruits. The silver strange fruits shone under the sunlight, appearing exceptionally eye-catching.
There was more than one such tree.
Li Yi also discovered one on the mountainside. That tree seemed to be more ancient, its trunk like a coiled dragon, with roots intertwined. The silver strange fruits hanging on it were few, only a sporadic few, but they were particularly large, like silver lanterns.
Besides that, there were several other trees distributed in other places, some close and some far.
And the sizes of the silver strange fruits on the trees were also different.
Li Yi saw that the strange fruits on the nearest tree were already gone, leaving it bare. It should have been picked away by Zhao Fangji before.
If he wanted to continue obtaining them, he had to risk entering the depths of this canyon.
But for some reason, this canyon always gave people a very dangerous feeling. If one rushed in rashly, it was very likely they wouldn't be able to come back.
"There are at least eight trees growing strange fruits, and two are the most special. One grows on the mountainside, the silver strange fruits are very large; one grows in the middle of the canyon, with lush branches and leaves, and a large quantity. The others are sporadically distributed, and their value is not obvious. Which tree should we go to first?" Hu Fei said in a suppressed voice: "However, this place is a bit special. I don't know why I have a feeling of unease, as if this valley doesn't welcome our arrival."
"I have the same feeling too," Jiang Ming said.
Zhao Fangji said: "When I came before, I was only at the Spirit Perception Realm, and my soul perception wasn't strong enough. Now that I've broken through to the Soul Realm, I also have this feeling of unease. But I have been to the canyon. Last time I only encountered the attack of the Qingluan Eagle. Although it was thrilling, I finally successfully took away the strange fruit."
"Of course, it's also possible that the tree I picked was close, so the danger didn't descend. However, this time I'm only responsible for bringing you here. Whether you can pick them or not is none of my business."
Jiang Mingtian asked: "Li Yi, what do you plan to do?"
Li Yi pondered at this moment, looked at the Shanyi beside him, then hesitated for a moment, and said: "I plan to use a Thunder Fighter to fly over directly and bring back those few largest strange fruits. Let's not take risks. If something really happens, the loss is just a Thunder Fighter."
"This is a relatively safe method." Everyone thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Letting the fighter try is better than using people to make attempts.
Li Yi then began to arrange. He released five smart robots, then took out a Thunder Fighter from his storage artifact.
The Thunder Fighter also came with its own smart system, which could fully meet the needs of daily missions.
After issuing the order, the five smart robots boarded the Thunder Fighter.
Afterward, the fighter started and flew directly toward the tree with strange fruits on the mountainside in the canyon.
He thought the fighter would encounter some danger, but didn't expect the action to be very smooth. The fighter soon arrived at the mountainside and hovered. As the cabin door opened, the five robots nimbly climbed onto the large tree and began to step on the silver strange fruits.
The silver strange fruits, the size of lanterns, were held in the robots' hands and sent back to the cabin.
"It really works." Zhao Fangji was stunned.
He didn't expect there to be such a way to take advantage of the situation. He didn't go himself, but let the fighter take the smart robots to pick them, completely avoiding the danger in the canyon.
Soon.
Five silver strange fruits were successfully picked.
Just when the robots intended to pick all the remaining four silver strange fruits.
Suddenly.
A furious and sharp chirping sound came from the distant horizon. This sound was like cracking gold and stone, extremely penetrating. Even Li Yi and the others staying at the edge of the forest felt their eardrums ache.
Afterward, a silver lightning bolt was seen traveling in the air at an incredible speed, and then it struck the Thunder Fighter.
At the moment the silver lightning struck, the group barely saw clearly what it was.
A huge Peng bird covered in silver feathers, with terrifying and extraordinary strength.
"Spirit Power Realm-level extraordinary creature." Seeing this, Li Yi's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Under the strike of the silver Peng bird, the Thunder Fighter was torn open, emitting black smoke. But the fighter didn't fall, still hovering in the air, and quickly activated its main cannon to counterattack.
The silver Peng bird chirped and shuttled back and forth in the air like lightning, dodging the Thunder Fighter's shooting.
"Fighter No. 2, abandon the mission and return immediately." Li Yi issued the order immediately.
Afterward, his gaze stared at the fighter emitting black smoke.
If the Thunder Fighter could still move, everything was easy to say. If not, he could only give up.
Fighter No. 2 didn't seem to have damaged its power system. At this moment, energy sprayed, it abandoned the counterattack, and actually returned and flew back quickly.
But the silver Peng bird didn't intend to let this Thunder Fighter go and immediately flapped its wings to pursue.
"Fortune favors the bold. Fight it."
Seeing this, Li Yi released the last Thunder Fighter from his storage artifact. At the same time, he also took out six high-energy beam cannons, and then threw a high-energy sniper rifle to everyone.
"Let's repel this silver Peng bird together."
At such a long distance, the only thing they could do as Soul Realm cultivators was long-range fire support.
With six beam cannons, one Thunder Fighter, and four high-energy sniper rifles, if everything went smoothly, repelling this silver Peng bird shouldn't be difficult.
