That little bit of golden light wasn't very strong.

If it is in a situation with sufficient light, there is a high possibility that people will ignore its existence.

That is, after entering the Death Valley, the wind was howling and everything around was dark. Only these few flashes of golden light seemed slightly more conspicuous.

But even so, Jiang Yao did not realize the existence of this thing until now, by using the technique of possessing the sheep and using the sheep's eyes.

Roughly estimated, the distance between him and that golden light should be about thirty or forty meters.

He wanted to control the sheep and drive straight to the location of those golden lights to see them clearly.

However, ideas are just ideas, and it seems a little unrealistic to actually do it.

After all, on the ground one or two steps ahead were the broken parts of the fat pig that had been driven into this place earlier.

Knowing that there might be a void crack ahead and that there was a great risk, he rushed forward rashly, which was almost the same as seeking death.

Although Jiang Yao is in a state of being possessed by a ghost at the moment, he will not really die even if he encounters a void crack. At most he will lose some spirit and a sheep.

However, the batch of livestock they brought with them had basically been lost, and the sheep he possessed was the last one.

If this sheep died in an accident, Jiang Yao would have to use human lives to test if he wanted to investigate those golden lights ahead. Or he would have to go back to the camp and get another batch of animals.

In the foreign land, human life is worthless, but this is the real world. Jiang Yao would definitely not do such a cruel thing as asking him to investigate the situation in the Death Valley at the cost of the lives of Fang Weidong and others.

After all, although he has taken many lives, he is not a bad person in the end.

He controlled the sheep and stood there for a while. Unfortunately, the light was not good and the distance was a bit far. He stared at the location of those golden lights for a long time but still couldn't figure out what they were.

If you want to do something, a sheep's body is not as convenient as a human's.

Hesitating for a moment with his head tilted, he controlled the sheep's body, carefully moved a small step forward, then opened his mouth and picked up half a pig's leg from the ground.

With a fierce shake of his head, the pig leg that was originally in the sheep's mouth flew straight to the left.

At the first three or four steps, there was nothing unusual. But when the pig leg flew forward again, a black line suddenly appeared in the air.

It was clearly only a black line of an inch long, but it instantly swallowed up most of the pig leg. The remaining part was broken into pieces and cut into countless pieces.

"The left side is three or four steps away from this range, so it should be safe."

"The black line that suddenly appeared should be a crack in the void."

"Let alone the goat I'm possessing, even if my real body was here, I would definitely be injured or killed if I came into contact with this thing."

"We still have some broken parts of the pig on the ground. I hope we can use them to carve out a safe path!"

……

This scene before him appeared in Jiang Yao's sight, and it began to spin rapidly in his mind.

The only regret is that after possessing the body of this sheep, his four hooves cannot grab anything, so he can only use his mouth to pick up the broken parts of the pig and throw them in all directions, which is really inconvenient.

However, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. It is much more cost-effective to possess the sheep and try out a safe path than to take the risk of entering the place in person.

After making the decision in his mind, Jiang Yao took a deep breath, controlled the sheep, picked up a piece of pig's internal organs, moved a few steps to the left side of the area that had been confirmed to be safe, and began to test again.

Outside the Death Valley, in the area where Fang Weidong and others are located.

Three or four soldiers, with obvious panic on their faces, were jogging and their steps seemed to be staggering, running towards this direction.

Seeing Fang Weidong and his companions, who were already lighting a bonfire and preparing a roasted whole lamb, they seemed to have seen a savior. The sturdy man in the lead was anxious and asked immediately, "Mr. Jiang, where is Mr. Jiang?"

"Oh no! Deputy Captain Huang and his men are in trouble!"

"After entering this area, we were separated from Deputy Captain Huang and his men for a while because of some things."

"But after we returned, we followed their trail and found some broken limbs, but no living people. I'm sure they encountered those mantis monsters."

"Please help us, Mr. Jiang!"

……

This strong man is naturally the one called Da Zhuang.

After discovering the second corpse of the mantis monster, under Huang Yongqiang's instructions, he took a few people and dragged the monster's corpse back to the safe area outside.

When they returned, they could no longer find Huang Yongqiang and others, and only saw some bloody remaining traces.

After returning to the camp, Da Zhuang and others had no way of explaining anything to their superiors.

Besides, the soldiers in the camp seemed to have no way of dealing with the mantis-man monster that was clearly inhuman.

He might know very little about Jiang Yao, but as Huang Yongqiang's confidant, he knew that the monster corpses they found were all from this man's hands.

After knowing that Jiang Yao and others were near the entrance of Death Valley, Da Zhuang and his companions had no other choice but to rush here to try to seek help.

"Deputy Captain Huang and his men had an accident. When did it happen?"

"Mr. Jiang is over there, and he seems to be resting with his eyes closed!" When Fang Weidong heard these words, he was visibly stunned.

The first thing he thought of was the screams they had heard before.

However, he just thought about it in his mind and would definitely not say it out loud in front of Da Zhuang.

With a slightly strange look on his face, he sighed lightly and led Da Zhuang and others to Jiang Yao, who was only a dozen or twenty steps away from the campfire.

"Mr. Jiang, help!"

"Mr. Jiang, please help rescue Deputy Captain Huang and the others!"

"The monsters are ferocious. Only you, Mr. Jiang, have the ability to deal with them!"

……

When they saw Jiang Yao, Da Zhuang and others spoke one after another, and the tone of their voices was almost begging.

With his eyes closed, Jiang Yao sat cross-legged quietly on the flat stone like a statue.

At this moment, his attention was focused on the sheep he possessed in the Death Valley.

The repeated requests from Da Zhuang and others made it difficult for him to concentrate, and had some negative impact on his spellcasting.

With an unhappy look on his face, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "Go away, don't bother me!"

"Before I left, I repeatedly told everyone in the camp not to enter this area."

"That Deputy Captain Huang brought a bunch of people in here and wanted to search for the corpse of the monster that died in my hands. What does he mean by this? Does he think I'm talking nonsense?"

"He is seeking death. Even if he does encounter a mantis monster by accident, it is his own fault."

"You guys, if you keep on talking nonsense in front of me, I will definitely kill you first, even without the monsters taking action!"

With a gaze as sharp as a knife, Jiang Yao glanced coldly at Da Zhuang and the others.

His whole body was filled with murderous aura, and after a light snort, his eyes, which had just opened, began to slowly close again.

"Jiang..." Da Zhuang and the others were obviously stunned.

By the time he reacted and wanted to say something, Fang Weidong, who was standing next to him, had already covered his mouth and pulled him to the campfire.

"Mr. Jiang has a bad temper. He has already given you a warning. If you still don't listen, he will really kill you!"

"If Deputy Captain Huang and his men really encountered a monster, they would be in great danger now. It would be too late to rescue them."

"I guess you guys must have already thought of this outcome, but you just don't want to accept it. You didn't go back to the camp, but came directly to us, simply because you don't know how to explain to your superiors."

"Don't worry, with Mr. Jiang here, even if the leaders above want to punish you, they will definitely not go too far."

"At this moment, if you still want to go against Mr. Jiang, then you are really tired of living and want to die!"

……

While asking his men to keep an eye on Da Zhuang and the others, Fang Weidong began to persuade them earnestly.

He is a very capable person, as he was sent by Zhao Zhengping, the highest commander of the camp, to be by Jiang Yao's side to receive orders.

He presented facts and reasoned with them, and what he said almost struck directly into the hearts of Da Zhuang and the others.

At first, Da Zhuang wanted to make a few excuses.

After just a few words and a glance at his companions, he hung his head, sighed deeply, and fell silent.

Almost at the same time, in Death Valley.

After a while of testing, although Jiang Yao had gone around in circles, the distance between him and the golden light had shortened to only a dozen or twenty meters. Although the light in the Death Valley was extremely dim, he could see the specific situation over there from where he was now.

It was an unknown plant, no more than one or two feet tall, bare with only six or seven green leaves left.

The so-called golden glow refers to the golden light that ripples on a kind of finger-sized fruit that grows on this plant.

There are only three of these fruits hanging in total.

Although there was a howling wind around, the three fruits and the unknown plant remained as steady as a rock and did not move at all.

"Is this... Heavenly Dao Fruit?"

"In the foreign world, the legendary supreme holy fruit can actually be found here too!"

"Fuck..."

I don’t know which great sage came up with the idiom “Extreme joy leads to sorrow”, but the fact that it has been passed down to this day shows that this idiom can really fit the reality in certain situations.

Jiang Yao seemed to be like this at the moment.

After confirming that the three fruits with golden light were most likely the legendary Heavenly Dao Fruits, he was so ecstatic that he lost his mind a little.

After being possessed by him, the sheep, which was originally well controlled, staggered and shifted slightly to the right by one or two steps.

The next moment, he only had time to mutter "Fuck" in his heart, and his whole eyes went dark. When he came to his senses, this wisp of spirit had returned to his body.

The splitting headache came again. The extreme pain was hard to describe. He held his head and almost fell to the ground and started rolling around.

A dozen steps away, next to the bonfire.

Although he followed Fang Weidong's advice and didn't think of disturbing Jiang Yao's peace again, Da Zhuang still glanced over here from time to time out of the corner of his eye.

"Mr. Jiang, what happened..." Seeing Jiang Yao, who was originally sitting cross-legged on the stone with his eyes closed, suddenly become like this, he was shocked and looked at Fang Weidong next to him and asked in a low voice.

"Do you know why Mr. Jiang told you to get out when you ran to him for help?"

"If I'm not mistaken, at that time, he should have been performing some magical spell that we couldn't understand at all."

"It would be strange if he would pay attention to you if you disturbed him while he was casting a spell."

"He suddenly became like this. It might be a side effect of over-casting a spell."

"Don't worry, it's okay. Just take a short rest and Mr. Jiang will recover soon."

Glancing at Jiang Yao's position, Fang Weidong lowered his voice and explained in a low voice.

Before, when he first saw Jiang Yao holding his head with a painful look on his face, he was also confused and stunned.

However, after seeing similar situations more than ten times in a row, he had already become accustomed to it.

Jiang Yao didn't take the initiative to talk about the specific situation, so Fang Weidong naturally didn't want to ask more.

At this moment, the explanation he gave to Da Zhuang was just something he made up in his mind.

According to his own estimation, even if his guess is slightly different from the facts, the difference should not be that big.

"So that's it, I understand!" Da Zhuang nodded as if he had suddenly realized something.

He knew that the corpses of the mantis monsters in this area were all from Jiang Yao's hands. Although he didn't know much about this man, from the little he knew, this man was indeed omnipotent and mysterious to the extreme.

Although Da Zhuang did not believe all of Fang Weidong's explanation, he at least believed it 80%.

While talking to Fang Weidong, he would occasionally glance at Jiang Yao out of the corner of his eye.

Soon, Jiang Yao, who had just been holding his head and whose face looked a little hideous because of pain, stood up again as if nothing had happened.

"Is the whole lamb ready? Didn't you use the seasonings I brought out?"

“Roasted whole lamb without chili and cumin has no soul at all!”

"Forget it, just move aside and let me do it myself!"

Walking a few steps to the campfire, while asking Fang Weidong, Jiang Yao's eyes had already fallen directly on the whole lamb that was being roasted on the fire and was oozing with oil.

Seeing Fang Weidong and others roasting the lamb like this, he seemed a little dissatisfied.

Looking around, he found the bottles and jars he had taken out earlier, and then sat down by the fire without hesitation. While roasting the sheep, he began to sprinkle chili peppers, cumin and other ingredients on the mutton.

His actions, which were apparently very bold, were full of charm in the eyes of others, like flowing clouds and running water, giving people a unique sense of beauty that is difficult to describe.

Da Zhuang had no idea what others were thinking, but when he saw Jiang Yao grilling meat, he just felt that it would be a pity if he didn't set up a stall on the street to sell grilled skewers with such perfection that his skill was almost at the level of Taoism.

He was like this. Fang Weidong and others sitting beside the campfire were also speechless and looked stunned. Their performance was not much better than his.

"Okay, the meat is almost done, just the right temperature!"

"I stayed in Hong Kong a few days ago and lived a life of luxury. I haven't done this for a while."

"Try my cooking skills. I'll start eating first, you guys can do whatever you want!"

In just less than ten minutes, Jiang Yao nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the golden roasted whole lamb in front of him.

While greeting everyone, he tore off a leg of lamb and started to devour it.

The extreme pain caused by having a piece of his spirit forcibly severed would soon subside, but Jiang Yao still felt a little numb on his scalp when he thought about it.

A large piece of barbecued meat entered his mouth, stimulating his taste buds crazily. It made him temporarily forget the extreme pain he had endured before, and his whole mood began to become much happier.

With his big appetite, if he really wanted to eat to his heart's content, he could eat the whole sheep in front of him cleanly.

However, sharing happiness with others is worse than enjoying it alone. He personally prepared this roasted whole lamb with the intention of rewarding everyone present. At this moment, after finishing the lamb leg, he stopped eating.

After scanning the crowd, his eyes fell on Da Zhuang and the others. "It's hard to persuade that damned ghost with good words. That Deputy Captain Huang ignored my previous warning and is courting death. He can't blame anyone else."

"Originally, I have already cleaned up this area once, and I calculated that there are still some fish that have slipped through the net, probably only two or three big cats and small cats."

"But now, something has happened to those guys. If things go wrong, some of them might transform into new mantis monsters."

"Compared to before, this area is definitely much more dangerous."

"If you don't want to die, just stay here and don't run around."

"I'm here. They're just some mantis monsters. Don't worry. They can't cause much trouble!"

……

Da Zhuang and the others had no grudges against him, so Jiang Yao didn't have any ill feelings towards them.

Before, he would be very rude in his words, mainly because at that time, he was possessed by the only remaining sheep, exploring a safe path in Death Valley.

Jiang Yao was busy with his work, but Da Zhuang and the others were shouting and yelling beside him, which had already caused some negative impact on him. Naturally, he felt unhappy.

"Yeah, I know, Mr. Jiang!"

"Don't worry, we're not going anywhere. We're just staying here."

"After you finish your business, Mr. Jiang, we will follow you back to the camp."

Jiang Yao's warning made Da Zhuang and the others turn pale.

Before, they were so anxious that they had lost their minds.

After Fang Weidong's persuasion, Da Zhuang and the others became more open-minded and accepted the reality.

If possible, they would rather go back to the camp and be held accountable by their superiors than to face the terrifying mantis monster.

"Good to know!" Jiang Yao nodded and looked away.

He frowned slightly and began to think about what happened in Death Valley.

As a formal pharmacist, although he had never seen the real Tiandao Fruit, he still had some impression of the records related to it.

This supreme holy fruit, after taking it, can allow people to enter a state of enlightenment.

If a congenital master wants to cross the threshold and enter the realm of heaven and man, he needs to comprehend the rules of heaven and earth and be able to enter a state of harmony with heaven and earth at any time.

The Heavenly Dao Fruit is one of the best sacred objects that can help the innate master to comprehend the heaven and earth when he is trying to break through to the realm of heaven and man.

It would have been fine if this thing had not been found. When the last sheep died in the Death Valley, Jiang Yao might have already returned home with his men.

But now, knowing that there was a Heavenly Dao Fruit inside, he was really unwilling to leave without getting it. (End of this chapter)
