Chapter 768: Iron-hearted vine and Taoist dragon tree
In addition to the tasks assigned to him by Master Mu Yu and Meng Zhuang, he also had to consider himself.
According to the agreement between him and Meng Zhuang, as long as he could get the True Dragon Fruit for him, everything else he got in the Immortal Dragon Secret Realm, including the Dao Dragon Fruit, would belong to him.
The hope of killing Dugu Qiuyu was very small, and he would never bet all his hopes of Sheng'er worshipping as Master Zhu's disciple on this.
If he failed to kill Dugu Qiuyu in the end, as long as he could get the Dao Dragon Fruit, he might be able to use the Dao Dragon Fruit to change his master's mind.
It was impossible for the master not to be tempted by such a treasure as the Dao Dragon Fruit.
Thinking of this, Duan Qing searched for the traces of the Dao Dragon Tree while flying.
The other two things were more or less related to the Dao Dragon Fruit. He could only look for the Dao Dragon Tree first and then take it one step at a time.
According to the description of the Dao Dragon Tree in the jade slip given by the eldest brother, the Dao Dragon Tree always liked to live alone and never gathered.
In other words, the eleven Dao Dragon Trees should be randomly distributed in various places in the Immortal Dragon Secret Realm.
The Immortal Dragon Secret Realm has a radius of 100,000 miles, and it will only be open for one month each time.
Considering that there is still enough time to rush back to the valley, it is almost impossible to search the entire 100,000-mile radius within a month.
You must know that this is not as simple as flying between two points. A radius of 100,000 miles is so vast!
It seems that if you want to find the Daolong Tree, you still need some luck.
Less than an hour after Duan Qing entered the Immortal Dragon Secret Realm, Luo Renjie and his party from the other six sects in the Central Earth, as well as Ao Yong and others from the Immortal Dragon Island, all entered the Immortal Dragon Secret Realm.
Only the powerful people such as Mu Yu and Ao Shuang, as well as Xue Wanyun and other young people who have seen the world, were left on the top of the Seven Sacred Mountains.
Meng Zhuang found a piece of bluestone outside the platform and casually performed the secret technique of Tianji to observe Mu Yu and others on the platform.
When his eyes fell on one of the tall and burly men, he suddenly moved in his heart, and his eyes scanned back and forth on that person!
Interesting!
This person is bold!
…
Duan Qing flew in the direction he chose, searching while flying, and flew slowly for nearly an hour, but did not find any trace of the Daolong Tree.
During this period, he saw a lot of monsters, but they were all of low grade, and the highest was the Questioning Heart Realm monster.
At this time, Duan Qing suddenly had an idea in his mind.
If he was unlucky, he might not encounter a Daolong Tree in the 100,000-li Xianlong Secret Realm for a month, and finally got nothing!
Although this possibility is small, it is not impossible.
Just as Duan Qing was thinking about it, a lake several miles in size in front of him on the left gradually came into his sight.
Duan Qing subconsciously compared it with the map and found that the lake was not marked on the map.
It should be that the lake was too small and was not recorded on the map.
He just looked at the lake casually for a few times, then retracted his gaze and looked elsewhere.
Soon, Duan Qing passed by the right side of the lake, and saw some ordinary black fruits floating on the surface of the lake from the corner of his eye.
Under the refraction of the sun, the water surface was sparkling, and several black fruits were particularly conspicuous. Apart from that, there was nothing else on the water surface.
He didn't care much and continued to fly forward.
Not long after flying out, Duan Qing seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly hovered in the air, looking back at the black fruits on the surface of the lake.
He was very sure that these black fruits were definitely not Daolong Fruits.
Because he had seen these black fruits before!
Iron Gallbladder Vine!
When he entered the fourth floor from the third floor of the water pool in Yongling Valley in Xiaonan Realm, he had seen something almost exactly like these black fruits in the water pool.
Later, I learned from Xue Wanyun that the thing was called Iron Gallbladder Vine, which mostly grew in the living area of the demon clan.
The Iron Gallbladder Vine in Yongling Valley was specially placed on the third floor by the Shinto Sect to prevent the disciples of Xiaonan Realm from mistakenly entering the fourth floor.
The black fruit floating in the lake in front of him was much larger than the one he had seen that year, but the appearance and shape were almost the same, and it was obviously the Iron Gallbladder Vine.
The Iron Gall Vine has low intelligence and can only act on instinct. Once an outsider approaches the Iron Gall Fruit, the Iron Gall Fruit will explode immediately with great power.
If he had not used the mysterious metal to absorb the spiritual energy in the Iron Gall Fruit, he would have been blown to death by the Iron Gall Fruit underwater.
Of course, with his current cultivation, the Iron Gall Vine has long been out of his sight.
The reason why he stopped was not because he coveted the Iron Gall Vine, but because he felt something was wrong.
As far as he knew, the Iron Gall Vine generally only grows on land and does not like to move.
The Iron Gall Vine in Yongling Valley, Xiaonan Realm, was forcibly sealed in the water by the Shinto Sect.
And the Iron Gall Vine in front of him was also in the water, indicating that it must have been disturbed by external forces.
Otherwise, with the characteristics of the Iron Gall Vine, it is impossible for it to run to the lake by itself.
There are indeed monsters in the Immortal Dragon Secret Realm, but it seems that their realm is generally not high.
As for what is capable of moving the Iron Gall Vine, the answer is self-evident.
Duan Qing figured out the reason and immediately turned back to the lake without saying anything.
He stopped above one of the iron gall fruits on the surface of the lake, took out a low-grade spirit stone, and threw it at the iron gall fruit.
Boom!
The spirit stone hit the iron gall fruit, and the iron gall fruit immediately exploded, making a roar and stirring up water splashes several feet high.
Hum, it is indeed the iron gall fruit!
To be on the safe side, Duan Qing bypassed the several iron gall fruits floating in the center of the lake, retreated a distance, and tried to dive underwater.
After entering the water, there was no sunlight reflection, and the situation at the bottom of the water was immediately visible.
Under the clear water, the vines of the iron gall vine were intertwined and rooted at the bottom of the lake.
On its vines, countless iron gall fruits were hung densely, and just looking at them made people feel scalp tingling.
And through the almost airtight iron gall vine, Duan Qing vaguely saw some golden branches and leaves.
Those branches and leaves obviously did not belong to the iron gall vine.
It was indeed the Daolong tree!
Duan Qing was ecstatic.
Those golden branches and leaves belonged to the Daolong tree.
The map given by the eldest brother clearly described the characteristics of the Daolong tree, golden branches and golden leaves.
It seems that what Wu Wen said about the Daolong tree's intelligence was not groundless.
Being able to hide itself like this, it is obvious that this Daolong tree has a high intelligence.
Haha, his luck is really good!
It has not been an hour since he entered the fairy dragon secret realm, and he encountered one of the eleven Daolong trees.
I just don't know if this Daolong tree is the one that produced the tenth fruit, the real dragon fruit.
If it is really that one, then he will have a lot of trouble!
After the excitement, Duan Qing gradually calmed down, looking at the iron-ball vine in front of him, thinking about how to get the Daolong fruit.
This densely packed iron-ball fruit must be unavoidable and must be broken by force.
In addition, according to Wu Wen, the Daolong tree's intelligence is not low, and each tree has at least the strength of the spiritual life realm. It is obviously not easy to forcibly take the Daolong fruit from the Daolong tree.
Compared with the iron-ball vine, the Daolong tree itself is the biggest trouble.
