The combination of Dahu and Yiyi is very intimidating. Low-level monks with little knowledge can easily be frightened by a monster that can talk. Riding a big tiger is undoubtedly very tempting.
It's a long way to the Blue Blood Sect's headquarters, and Lu Ye doesn't know when he will arrive. If he rides a big tiger, he can save energy on the way and even practice.
This is a very good choice for him. After all, his cultivation level is still low at the moment and he wants to focus on improving his strength. If he rushes on his own, he will not be able to practice on the road and will waste a lot of time.
He had no intention of bringing this spirit tiger with him, and the three words he said to Yiyi to impress him were just a refusal. He originally planned to refuse no matter what Yiyi said.
But now he found that he was a little moved by Yiyi's words...
"How is it?" Yiyi looked at Lu Ye with earnest eyes, fearing that the word "no" would come out of his mouth.
"It's not impossible..."
Before Yiyi could cheer, Lu Ye changed the topic: "But we have to make a three-part agreement!"
Yiyi was puzzled: "Which three chapters?"
Lu Ye raised a finger: "First, I am the master in everything. If we disagree on anything, you have to listen to me."
Yiyi nodded: "That's no problem." Since she decided to come to Lu Ye, she and Dahu were mentally prepared for such a thing.
"Second, maybe sometimes I will ask you to do something. If you can do it, you cannot refuse. Of course, I will not ask you to do something that endangers your life. If this happens, you can do it according to the situation. Make your own judgment.”
"OK."
"Third, if one day you no longer want to stay, say hello to me and don't leave quietly."
"No." Yiyi shook her head.
"If there are no problems with these, then...please cooperate?" Lu Ye extended a hand to Yiyi.
Yiyi tilted her head and looked at him with a puzzled look on her face, but she still followed his example and stretched out her hand. Lu Ye took it and shook it slightly.
Yiyi understood what he meant, narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Happy cooperation!"
Dahu whined behind her.
Yiyi jumped on Dahu's head, looked at Lu Ye and said: "As a sign of sincerity for cooperation, I have a benefit to give you!"
"benefit?"
When Yiyi uttered three words, Lu Ye suddenly became interested.
Deep in Qingyun Mountain, in another area adjacent to Dahu's territory, under the leadership of Dahu and Yiyi, Lu Ye came to an extremely hidden cave entrance.
The entrance to the cave is covered by large weeds and overgrown bushes. If you are not familiar with the terrain, it will be difficult to find the entrance.
"Is this here?" Lu Ye looked towards the entrance of the cave. It was dark inside and nothing could be seen.
"Yes." Yiyi and Dahu led the way, beckoning Lu Ye to follow.
Lu Ye carried a long knife at his waist and pressed the handle of the knife, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
According to Yiyi, there is a snake-like demon beast entrenched deep in the cave. She and Dahu went deep here once and suffered losses at the hands of the snake demon, but they also discovered a secret.
That secret was the benefit she said she wanted to give to Lu Ye.
The cave was going in a downward direction. Lu Ye felt that he was at least dozens of feet deep into the ground, but he still hadn't reached the end, which showed how deep the cave was.
But when we arrived here, we could no longer feel the coolness around us. Instead, there was a heat wave constantly gushing out from the front.
The further we go, the stronger the smell of the heat wave becomes.
Yiyi started to breathe heavily and finally stopped: "I can't go deeper inside." She is a spirit body after all, and this hot environment is very unfriendly to her.
Lu Ye suddenly said, "Did you come here last time you were injured?"
Yiyi nodded: "That thing is only found here. Amber will go in with you. The snake demon is not very strong. With Dahu cooperating with you, you should be able to take it down."
"Then you wait here." Lu Ye nodded and continued on the road with Dahu.
After walking forward for a long time, Lu Ye suspected that he might have gone a hundred feet underground. The hot atmosphere here was extremely strong. Lu Ye activated his spiritual power to protect himself and felt the heat was unstoppable. As for the big tiger, he even vomited. His tongue was hanging out and he was listless, looking like a dog suffering from heatstroke.
After a while, we finally reached the end.
It was an underground cave. The space was not small. Standing at the entrance of the cave, Lu Ye could see a big snake coiled deep in the cave at a glance. The body of the big snake was probably as thick as his thigh and how long it was. It raised its head high and said, He took his breath while leaning against a small tree about half a person's height.
The small tree was red all over, like a red-hot iron. There were two fruits the size of a baby's fist on the tree, and the entire cave was filled with a strange fragrance.
Barrier breaking fruit!
This is the benefit Yiyi mentioned before.
If it were an ordinary thing, Lu Ye might not be able to impress him with his current worth, but the barrier-breaking effect was different. This thing had a great effect on monks breaking through the spiritual orifice barrier. It can be said that as long as the spiritual orifice has not been fully opened, it would Use it forever.
Lu Ye had taken the barrier-breaking fruit once, and his promotion to the Lingxi realm depended on that fruit, so as soon as Yiyi told him, he became interested.
The barrier-breaking fruit Yiyi gave him last time was snatched from here. She is a spirit body and comes and goes without a trace. Although the snake demon occupies this place, it cannot guard against her.
However, the environment here is extremely harmful to her. If there was no solution last time, Yiyi would not take the risk of coming here.
Although the fruit was obtained in the end, Yiyi was weak for many days before she recovered.
She, Dahu, and the snake demon had some grudges. She was not strong enough before and could not take revenge. Now that she has Lu Ye as a backer and is about to leave, Yiyi naturally wants to take revenge and retaliate.
At the same time, it also allows Lu Ye to obtain two barrier-breaking fruits, which deepens each other's affection and makes everyone's cooperative relationship stronger. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
The snake demon coiled its body and used the cover of the snake body to surround the barrier-breaking fruit tree. As the snake's head was raised high, fiery red spiritual energy visible to the naked eye poured into its mouth and nose, making it look like it was practicing.
It was disturbed by two uninvited guests.
Following the roar of the big tiger, the snake demon suddenly raised its head and swallowed its core.
The big tiger had already pounced forward like a gust of wind, but the next moment, the snake demon ejected, opened its mouth, and bit the big tiger's neck.
The big tiger roared in pain, and also bit the snake on the belly. However, their strength was not equal. The big tiger was bitten with blood, but the snake was not hurt at all.
The body surface of the snake demon is filled with fiery red demonic power, forming a layer of protection that makes it difficult for big tigers to bite through.
As soon as they met, the majestic tiger suffered a big loss, and the several-foot-long snake body also wrapped around it, instantly trapping the tiger into a rice dumpling.
Instant kill! Although they are both monsters, the difference in strength between them is not small.
Fortunately, there was Lu Ye. When Dahu pounced on him, he used the cover of Dahu's figure to rush forward.
At this moment, two ferocious creatures are fighting, which is a good time to take action.
At the same time as the long sword was unsheathed, Lu Ye mobilized his spiritual power to add sharp spiritual patterns on the blade. In an instant, the bright sword light flashed out and blood spattered.
