This place is fun

Chapter 119 Take action
"As soon as I arrived today, I received the news..." said Ao Jiu.

As Ao Jiu reported, Su Daoshan's mouth slowly opened wider.

It turned out that since Su Daoshan entered the spiritual realm last time and looted all the spiritual fruits outside the five orchards in this area, he was discovered by the orchard guards not long after.

Then, a violent earthquake occurred.

You know, something like this has never happened in the Spirit Realm. An orchard often stretches over several hills, and it takes a long time just to run. And the Lingyun Fruit does not grow in a fixed place, and the time of maturity is not fixed. Therefore, only the orchard keeper patrols according to the established route and time to have the greatest chance of obtaining it. It is difficult for other casual cultivators to compete with them.

After all, if a casual cultivator was just passing by, it would be difficult for him to stumble upon the Lingyun Fruit by chance. And if he was waiting here with ill intentions, he would be easily discovered by the patrol. It would be impossible not to leave traces.

But this time, the orchard keepers found themselves with nothing. All the spiritual fruits from east, south, west and north had been picked, leaving only an empty bird's nest-like base.

Who did it?
Someone passed by in the east, could it be that someone passed by in the west as well? Someone in the east happened to encounter the ripe Lingyun fruit, could it be that someone in the west did the same?

What about the south and the north?

How could it be such a coincidence!
Therefore, when the major orchards discovered the problem, the first reaction in their minds was that they were being targeted.

This was a large-scale, premeditated attack by the enemy forces. Moreover, the attackers were from other orchards nearby, not outsiders!
The reason for coming to this conclusion is very simple - that is, to clear out all the spiritual fruits in the periphery, at least seven or eight people are needed.

In the Spirit Realm, because everyone's needs and identities in reality are different, the time to log into the Spirit Realm is also different. Even for the same force, it is difficult to gather more than 50% of the members at one time.

Because of this, outside forces generally would not travel long distances to other places to cause trouble. Moreover, even if they wanted to cause trouble, they would go directly to the orchard. Who would go to the trouble of sending out a large force just to grab a few Lingyun fruits from the periphery?
On the other hand, looking at the other forces around him… As the saying goes, there can’t be two tigers in one mountain. The orchards in this area are already rivals. On weekdays, everyone relies on their own orchards as the center of their activities. They compete for nearby resources. They often fight each other. Now that something like this has happened, who else could it be except these bastards who have been eyeing him covetously and know his patrol time and route like the back of their hands?
Thus, misunderstandings arise. Unfortunately, this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly.

I said my Lingyun fruit was stolen and I came to you to ask for the blame, but you not only refused to admit it but instead turned the tables and said your Lingyun fruit was also stolen. You also cursed and swore. If we don't fight, will we spit at each other?
Once a fight breaks out, the truth of the matter no longer matters. New hatreds are constantly accumulating. The more you fight, the more angry you become.

In just a few days, several large orchards in this area have been turned into a mess. Coupled with the instigation of other scattered extraordinary warriors in this area and some foreign forces, the war has become more and more intense. Now, it has become a situation of no end.

Some powerful orchards simply took this opportunity to tear each other apart. They had long disliked each other. This time, they not only wanted to show off their power to intimidate the other heroes, but also to drive the opponent out of this area completely!
What is even more unexpected is that not only did the war break out between the human guards, but this time even the spirit monsters in the major orchards were drawn into it.

Generally speaking, since they reached cooperation with humans, these great demon landlords in the spiritual realm have kept to themselves. They only need to steadily take their share of the spiritual essence every month. Other disputes or snatches have nothing to do with them.

Even if their own guards were beaten away, they could just find another group of people to cooperate with. Anyway, as long as the extraordinary warriors didn't want to go to war with them, they wouldn't infringe on their interests.

However, in addition to these spirit monster landlords who have already occupied the territory, there are also wild spirit monsters in this world.

Just as there will always be stronger young male wolves in a wolf pack to challenge the status of the old wolf king, from time to time some powerful up-and-coming spirit monsters will emerge in the mountains and challenge the status of the spirit monster landlords.

And this time, things just happened. On the second day after the fight between the orchards, a flame demon attacked the Gurong tribe, trying to kill the old banyan tree of the Gurong tribe and occupy the territory of the Gurong tribe.

However, after a fierce battle, the old banyan tree named "Wu Che" finally killed its opponent with the help of Niu Er and others. However, the flame demon, perhaps born not long ago in the lava pool, turned out to be a violent and violent person. In the end, it even tried to self-destruct and kill the five carts together.

At the critical moment of life and death, Wu Che had no choice but to swallow the Flame Demon's demon pill.

As a unique intelligent creature in the spirit realm, spirit monsters are born naturally. Maybe it is a tree, maybe a cloud of fog, maybe a pool of mud, or maybe it is a spirit beast... In short, under the will of the spirit realm, no one knows what will suddenly open up its spiritual wisdom and turn into a spirit monster.

Because of this, the elements that make up spirit monsters are very different. And swallowing the demon pills of other spirit monsters may cause mutations. And no one knows the result of this mutation of different elements. It may become stronger, or it may become weaker.

Therefore, generally speaking, spirit monsters will not actively seek this kind of mutation. Especially the big demon landlords, who are living a good life and their strength is steadily improving. Who would want to mutate into something different? At that time, they don't know whether they can maintain their original spiritual intelligence.

Once the spiritual intelligence is lost, it is equivalent to a new life.

However, Wu Che had no choice. In order to prevent the flame demon from self-destructing, it could only swallow the demon core of the other party, actively merge it, and try to digest the other party.

Hearing this, Su Daoshan was already overwhelmed by such bizarre changes and was dazzled. He immediately asked, "What was the result?"

"It should be considered a failure..." Ao Jiu's expression was a little complicated.

It turned out that the five chariots had merged with the flame demon, and a huge fire immediately ignited. The banyan tree is a wood element, while the flame demon is a fire element. The result of the fusion of the two can be imagined. For a time, the fire could be seen a hundred miles away. The billowing black smoke rose straight into the sky.

However, from the perspective of the Five Elements, wood generates fire, and the two are mutually beneficial, but not mutually exclusive. Moreover, the banyan tree is known for its terrifying vitality. Its seeds do not need to fall into the soil, but can take root and sprout with the help of other trees by simply falling on them. And its unique aerial roots are like pythons that penetrate into the soil and continue to expand.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that a single tree can form a forest. This refers to the banyan tree, which can have thousands of roots.

Perhaps it was because of this huge vitality that the Banyan Tree Spirit Demon eventually merged with the Flame Demon. However, after a fire, the huge banyan tree that originally covered the ancient banyan tribe was left with only a piece of tree roots.

Ao Jiu said: "According to onlookers, this tree root is black on the outside, but it seems to be burning with fire inside. The flame shines through the root bark, and the veins inside are clearly visible, beating from time to time, just like a heart. After this thing appeared, not only did it lose the power of the ancient banyan tree, but it also seemed to have lost all its intelligence. As soon as it saw Niu Er and others, it burrowed into the ground and disappeared without a trace."

"So, now the Gurong tribe has become a no-man's land. These days, not only other nearby forces and independent cultivators rush into the tribe at any time to snatch the Lingyun fruit, but even those spiritual monster landlords are also ready to make a move. If they were not restrained by each other, they would have taken action long ago. And in the mountains and forests, some spiritual monsters are tempted and want to become the landlord without knowing their own limitations."

"In short, people were beaten, monsters were beaten, and it became a mess."

Su Daoshan was so amused when he heard this. He never thought that his search for Lingyun Fruit would lead to such a big fight.

"So, it seems that Niu Er and his gang are in a bad situation?" Su Daoshan asked.

Ao Jiu nodded and said, "There are no spirit monsters in the territory of the Ancient Rong Tribe for the time being. They can't stop others from entering to snatch the Lingyun Fruit by themselves. Now they can only grit their teeth and hold on, fighting every time they come. They can't show weakness. As long as another big monster becomes the landlord and they can stop other extraordinary warriors, they will still be the guardians of this land."

"And if they were defeated and gave up directly, it would not be their turn in the future. Now, not to mention that the guards of the surrounding orchards are eyeing them covetously and want to drive them away, even some independent cultivators are trying to organize and replace them."

"What is the character of Niu Er and his gang?" Su Daoshan thought for a moment and asked, "I remember there was a conflict between you and him."

Ao Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, boss. I fought with him before for the Lingyun Fruit. His Dao Seed has a combat power of eleven meters, and I am no match for him. However, in terms of character, this man is quite upright. The group of people under him are the weakest in this area, but they are also the most united. Otherwise, they would not have lasted until now. If other people encountered this situation, I am afraid they would have dispersed long ago."

Su Daoshan nodded, pondered for a moment, and cast his eyes on the "Black Lion" in the battle group, and asked: "So, do you think we should help them now? As the saying goes, it is better to help someone in need than to add icing on the cake."

Ao Jiu was stunned, followed Su Daoshan's gaze and asked, "Boss, the tribe opposite is the Huangzhulin tribe. They are the strongest among the forces here. Mr. Huangzhu has thirty people under his command..."

"I had just entered the spiritual realm when I was sent out by this Huang Zhu monk. I wasted 20 coins of my spiritual energy." Su Daoshan said.

Ao Jiu understood immediately after hearing this, and immediately showed his anger. For him, who had a mark planted in his soul, the fact that his master was bullied was far more infuriating than being humiliated himself, and he immediately rushed forward: "I will kill him for you!"

Su Daoshan grabbed him.

"If we are going to take action, let's do it together. I'm just afraid that if we help Niu Er and the others, we will end up in trouble." Su Daoshan said.

Ao Jiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course he will remember the favor. Niu Er is not an ungrateful person..." Su Daoshan nodded. Of course, Ao Jiu's words were just a reference for him. In this place, anyone could be wearing a disguise. No one knew what kind of person he really was.

Perhaps Niu Er was very upright in order to maintain a certain personality in this place. But once the situation changes, no one can tell what will happen.

After all, the essence of this place is the survival of the fittest!

"Then let's get ready to take action," Su Daoshan observed the situation and found that Niu Er and the others were almost unable to hold on. The movement of the giant tree was getting slower and slower. As he said that, he took out thirty coins of Lingyun fruit and handed it to Ao Jiu, "These Lingyun are for you. If you are killed by accident, come in again."

"Thank you, boss." Ao Jiu took it gratefully.

"Also, if we beat the enemy away later, remember not to call me boss. If they ask, just say you're a friend. As for the pseudonym..." Su Daoshan thought for a moment and said, "If we can't come to an agreement, we'll kill him."

This was Su Daoshan’s nickname when he played games in his previous life.

"Okay." Although Ao Jiu thought the name was really weird, he just nodded and said, "Boss, my alias is Jiudou."

"Well," Su Daoshan nodded, his eyes fixed on Huang Zhu Jushi, his body moving forward silently, "Let's go. Let's attack this guy first!"

******
In the battle group, Niu Er has become more and more anxious.

"Ma San, how long can you hold on?" Niu Er asked his companion who was controlling the giant tree.

"Half a quarter of an hour at most," said Ma San.

"Damn it, it looks like we're going to fail here today. I'll fight them in a fight, you guys run if you can!" Niu Er gritted his teeth and said, "But even if we lose this round, as long as we're united, they won't be able to break us up. In a couple of days, maybe there will be a turning point."

However, Niu Er's tone seemed a little lacking in confidence when he said this, and his companions around him were also silent for a while.

If it was just a fight, no one would be afraid of anything. But the problem is that these days, more and more people are coveting the Gurong tribe. These people are like locusts, one after another.

In order to keep the position of the guard, everyone had to take the challenge.

But if they continued to fight like this, everyone's spiritual essence had been lost a lot in the past few days. The accumulation in the Gurong tribe had been almost consumed. Now that they were being robbed every day, the spiritual essence could no longer keep up with the consumption.

If this continues, no one knows how long they can hold on.

"Tsk tsk." At this time, the voice of Huang Zhu Lashi came from the other side, "Niu Er, I didn't expect you to be so naive. You are still thinking about turning the tide. What? Do you think that if another big monster comes to take charge and you continue to be your caretakers, you can catch your breath?"

As he spoke, he laughed. His hoarse voice was like a broken bellows: "Guess, will we give you this chance? We've taken turns coming here these days, didn't you notice anything wrong?"

The other three people from the Huangzhulin tribe also laughed.

"I told you Niu Er's brain isn't very useful." one of them said.

"Huang Zhu, what do you mean?" Niu Er listened and seemed to have thought of something, and said angrily, "Are you colluding with Bao Hu's gang?!"

The people on the opposite side laughed even louder. Huang Zhu said with a smile: "Now you finally understand. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that they leave and we come again, and we leave and they come again. And every time, whether there are three or five of you, or seven or eight of you, we are just a little bit stronger than you. Isn't it just to consume you?"

As he spoke, his voice became playful: "If my calculations are correct, the spiritual essence in your hands should not be able to hold out any longer, right?"

Niu Er was struck by lightning. He was so angry that his face turned red and he was speechless.

In order to continue to carry the flag of the guardians of the Gurong tribe, they have been gritting their teeth and fighting against everyone who dared to step into the Gurong tribe these days.

Niu Er knew very well that once he gave up, the flag would fall.

Once the flag fell, the team dispersed. From now on, no one in this area, whether they were the caretakers of other orchards or independent cultivators, would take us seriously. It would be difficult to raise the flag again.

Among the people who attacked the Gurong tribe, there were two most ferocious groups. One group was the people from the Huangzhulin tribe in front of them. The other group was a group of people led by a casual cultivator who went by the alias Baohu.

The Huangzhulin tribe was the most powerful, domineering, and ruthless tribe in the area. Especially when the number of guards in the tribe grew to more than 30, Huangzhu Lay Buddhist had already set his sights on other orchards.

The more people there are, the more spiritual essence they need. Expansion becomes an instinct. Just like a group of five lions, they will not be satisfied with just one territory. They will attack other lion groups' territories in groups until their dominance reaches its limit.

Naturally, the weakest Gurong tribe became the target of Mr. Huang Zhu.

Long before this incident, Huang Zhu Lashi had approached Niu Er several times. At first, he asked him to join the Huang Zhulin tribe, and the price he paid was the spiritual income of the Gu Rong tribe, and he wanted to take 70% of it.

But after Niu Er refused, Mr. Huang Zhu took action directly.

Fortunately, although the big monsters in the orchard usually don't intervene in the fights between human guards, the spirit monster Wu Che of the Ancient Banyan Tribe gets along well with Niu Er and others. There is no intention to change the guards. The few times the Huangzhulin Tribe invaded, Wu Che took action and made the other side return in defeat.

But now, the five vehicles were missing. And the repeated battles also caused the spiritual reserves of Niu Er and others to decline rapidly.

Niu Er originally thought that if he held on a little longer, there might be a turning point. But he never dreamed that Huang Zhu and his gang had colluded with Bao Hu and others to plot against him.

"You..." In a rage, Niu Er drove the seven-colored mantis and pounced towards Mr. Huang Zhu.

However, as soon as the mantis moved, it was blocked by Huang Zhu's war spirit "Iron Lion". With a loud bang, the mantis war spirit cut two deep bloody wounds on the iron lion, but it was also hit by the iron lion and fell from mid-air.

The next second, the Iron Lion pounced forward, held the Mantis War Spirit with its claws, opened its huge mouth, and bit it hard.

The ox's eyes were bloodshot.

The Dao Seeds of him and Huang Zhu Jushi were both 11 meters in strength. However, his Seven-Colored Mantis Battle Spirit was known for its flexibility, while Huang Zhu Jushi's Iron Lion was thick-skinned and had terrifying strength. If they continued to fight like this, the Iron Lion might not be able to defeat the Seven-Colored Mantis. But once the Seven-Colored Mantis was held down by the Iron Lion, then...

"Stupid..." The voice of Mr. Huang Zhu came to Niu Er's ears.

But at this moment, suddenly, something flashed in Niu Er's peripheral vision. He looked up suddenly and saw two figures flying out from the bushes not far from Huang Zhu Jushi.

The figure rushing in front was a blood snake war spirit.

The blood snake was extremely fast. As soon as it shot out, its body was still in the air, and it used the wind binding to pin Huang Zhu Lashi in place. At the same time, another figure had already jumped high, clenched his fists, and smashed down on Huang Zhu Lashi's head!
"Kill you, you son of a bitch!"
