Chapter 68

Everyone left.

Xia Daoming looked up at the cliff waterfall facing the spirit field.

The waterfall rushed down, creating a green pool below.

There were two green-water crocodiles, eyes closed, floating up and down in the green pool with the waves.

The green skin armor blended with the pool water, and if you didn't look carefully, you would mostly ignore them.

Water overflowed from the green pool, forming a small stream that flowed slowly through the middle of the spirit field.

Through the waterfall, one could see a stone cave behind it.

The stone door of the cave was tightly closed.

Xia Daoming held a spear and walked toward the green pool.

"Master, be careful!" Liu Liu Qiaolian warned uneasily.

"Don't worry!" Xia Daoming turned his head and smiled at Liu Liu Qiaolian.

Although his face was covered with cloth and his specific expression could not be seen, when their eyes met, both could feel the deep affection in each other's hearts.

The green-water crocodiles in the green pool suddenly opened their lightbulb-like eyes, opened their giant mouths with interlocking sharp teeth, and ice blades flickering with green cold light under the sunlight were sprayed out from their mouths respectively.

"Clang! Clang!"

Xia Daoming shook the spear in his hand, blooming two spear flowers, and accurately pierced the green ice blades.

The ice blades exploded, turning into fragments of ice flying everywhere in the sky.

Amidst the fragments of ice in the sky, a figure shot into the sky, clothes fluttering, holding a spear, blooming with cold light, and killed toward the two green-water crocodiles.

The green-water crocodiles obviously knew that the incoming enemy was powerful and let out a low roar.

The pool water was stirred by some unknown force, and giant waves actually rose.

The two green-water crocodiles stood on the crest of the waves, one opened its mouth and sprayed ice blades at Xia Daoming one after another, and the other raised its giant claws and pounced on him.

Seeing this, Liu Liu Qiaolian's heart rose to her throat.

Seeing this, the bearded man only felt a chill rising.

Such a powerful demonic beast, it is estimated that one giant claw could slap him away.

Xia Daoming was not afraid at all. While in mid-air, the spear transformed into shadows filling the sky.

"Ding ding dang dang!"

The ice blades were knocked away one after another, turning into nothingness.

The shadows of the spear filling the sky finally merged into one and swept across fiercely.

"Boom!"

The pouncing green-water crocodile was swept away directly and smashed heavily onto a rock by the side of the pool.

The rock was smashed into pieces, but the green-water crocodile actually stood up shakily, its skin armor unbroken.

"Kill!"

Xia Daoming swept one green-water crocodile away with a spear, and before the other green-water crocodile could fire ice blades again, he had already merged with the spear and pierced toward its wide-open giant mouth like lightning.

"Rip!"

The spear pierced in from the giant mouth of the green-water crocodile and pierced it through from the inside out.

"Slap!"

The spear lifted the huge body of the green-water crocodile and smashed it fiercely onto the ground.

Blood kept gushing from the green-water crocodile's mouth, and it struggled a few times before it stopped moving.

After killing one green-water crocodile with one spear thrust, Xia Daoming immediately swung his spear and killed toward the other green-water crocodile, which was shaking its head and crawling up shakily, pouncing toward him.

The green-water crocodile's skin armor was thick and hard, almost invulnerable to swords and spears.

This time, Xia Daoming was too lazy to find an opportunity to seal its throat with one spear thrust. He directly used the spear as an iron rod, swung it, and beat the green-water crocodile wildly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Not long after, the green-water crocodile lay on the ground motionless.

The poor green-water crocodile was a first-rank high-stage demonic beast, with thick skin armor and immense strength, and its strength was comparable to an eighth-rank Great Wu Shi. Even Xu Xu Zhiji would rather sacrifice a fifth-rank Great Wu Shi than easily provoke it, but it ended up meeting Xia Daoming, this perverted eighth-rank Great Wu Shi.

It was simply beaten to death alive with brute force.

Looking at this violent scene in front of him, the bearded man kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Damn it, I must not mention the heavy reward later!

"The green-water crocodiles have been dealt with. Now, please help me scout the way, brave man." Xia Daoming clapped his hands and said.

"Yes, yes." The bearded man nodded quickly, then walked toward the pool.

Passing the pool and seeing the miserable state of the two green-water crocodiles, the bearded man felt his legs shaking a little.

The stone door behind the waterfall was naturally not a problem for the bearded man.

He held the huge Heaven-Shaking Hammer, urged his internal strength, and smashed it more than ten times, and the stone door crashed and shattered into pieces.

Then, the bearded man stepped into the stone cave cautiously.

Seeing the bearded man disappear into the entrance of the stone cave, Xia Daoming's heart rose.

The stone cave was obviously not big. Soon, the bearded man reappeared at the entrance of the stone cave, passed through the waterfall, leaped over the pool, and stood in front of Xia Daoming and Liu Liu Qiaolian with an excited and thrilled face.

"Hero, there are no restrictions or traps inside, but there is a medicinal tree I don't recognize and some medicinal herbs planted. By the way, there is also an altar and a snake pit inside. I don't know what they are for, so I didn't dare to get close."

Speaking to the end, a look of fear of the unknown was clearly revealed in the bearded man's eyes.

"Good! Good! I have remembered your contribution! Xing Lian'er, let's go in." Xia Daoming was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Master, since there are no restrictions or traps, let me go in alone." Liu Liu Qiaolian said.

Xia Daoming was slightly stunned, then understood Xing Lian'er's painstaking efforts, took her jade hand, and said softly: "No matter what the situation is, we are together."

"Hmm!" Liu Liu Qiaolian's delicate body trembled slightly, then she nodded heavily.

Soon, the two held hands, leaped over the green pool, passed through the waterfall, and walked into the stone cave.

The stone cave was not damp and dark as imagined.

On the contrary, four pearl balls hung from the four corners of the stone cave wall, and the light they emitted illuminated the stone cave as bright as day.

The air was surprisingly fresh, and there was a faint fruity fragrance floating, making people feel refreshed after taking a breath.

Three large stone rooms were excavated in the stone cave.

The fruity fragrance drifted from the stone room on the left, which was also the closest to them.

Xia Daoming and Liu Liu Qiaolian naturally followed the fruity fragrance, lifted the curtain nearby, and entered the stone room on the left.

As soon as they stepped into the stone room, the fruity fragrance and the fragrance of medicinal herbs rushed toward them, making both of them feel refreshed.

They saw a huge stalactite hanging upside down from the stone wall on the top of this stone room.

Mist escaped from the stalactite, and occasionally one or two drops of water dripped down.

Under this stalactite, a vine grew.

A patch of medicinal herbs also grew around the vine.

The mist escaped from the stalactite and the dripping water droplets were just like sweet rain from heaven, nourishing this vine and the patch of medicinal herbs around it.

The branches and leaves of the vine were nothing special, but the flowers it bloomed and the string of fruits hanging on it were very mysterious.

Both the flowers and fruits were red, surrounded by mist, reflecting a blood-like vermilion color inside.

The leaves of the medicinal herbs grew in pairs, and the colors were bright red with rays of light, resembling the wings of the legendary Heavenly Phoenix.

"Vermilion Mist Fruit! Phoenix Jade Grass!"

Xia Daoming stared at the fruits hanging from the vine and swept over the patch of medicinal herbs below. His heart couldn't help but shake, and he blurted out.

Xia Daoming learned about the Vermilion Mist Fruit from Ji Ji Wenyue.

It is recorded in the ancient medicine canon passed down by the Ji family. It is said that the Vermilion Mist Fruit was one of the medicinal herbs that the immortal cultivators who had dealings with the Ji family asked the Ji family to help find.

As for what it is used for, Xia Daoming doesn't know yet.

However, Xia Daoming is very sure of one thing: fruits that even immortal cultivators specifically want to find must be very precious.

Speaking of Phoenix Jade Grass, Ji Ji Wenyue was deceived to the North by a false news about a 500-year-old Phoenix Jade Grass, thus forming a love affair with Xia Daoming.

And Phoenix Jade Grass is the main medicine for refining Phoenix Cry Elixir!

Xia Daoming couldn't care about the surprise, quickly pulled all the Phoenix Jade Grass, picked the string of Vermilion Mist Fruits, packed them up, and then wanted to take Liu Liu Qiaolian away.

"Master, why don't you dig up this whole tree?" Liu Liu Qiaolian asked in confusion when she saw this.

"Once this kind of spirit tree is dug out, it will probably die. Since we know this place now, when Master's strength becomes powerful one day, this place and this spirit tree will all be ours." Xia Daoming said.

Hearing this, Liu Liu Qiaolian couldn't help but shiver.

This is the cave of an immortal cultivator. Master is really bold, actually thinking about killing his way back later and occupying it as his own.
