Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 34 Calabash Brothers Calabash Brothers, la la la la~
Chen Xiuxian was depressed for a while, but he quickly cheered up.

Anyway, although the dungeon is a real experience, all the injuries you've suffered, even death, will be completely restored when you wake up. So, if you die, you die.

Besides, it's not necessarily a matter of dying!
You know the plot yourself!
As Colonel Chu aptly put it: What is the greatest advantage of us time travelers? It's our familiarity with the plot!

I know the plot; do you think I'd let a snake demon harm me?

Chen Xiuxian began to ponder the mission. The gourd seed he was referring to must be the seven-colored gourd seed, which was in the cave that the pangolin had drilled open.

It seems like I need a gourd leaf?
He glanced back at the basket on his back; it was half full of gourd leaves. He wondered what he was going to do with it.
That's the mountain where the pangolin burrowed; I remember it was a gourd-shaped rocky mountain.

Chen Xiuxian stood on a large rock at the edge of the cliff, carefully gazing around.

Various towering mountains, sheer cliffs, and craggy rocks... but not Hulu Mountain?

Is it very far away?

Oh my god, that's going to be difficult!
At this point, he was completely unaware of the true nature of Mount Hu, simply because he was in the mountain himself.

He was so busy looking around that he didn't realize that the mountain he was standing on was Hulu Mountain.

However, you need to be extremely far away or high in the air to see the whole picture.

However, the system's rating of this instance as Tier 2 is not without reason.

Just as he was still searching, a gust of eerie wind suddenly swept from behind him. It was so cold and chilling that it made Chen Xiuxian feel a chill seep into his very bones.

He quickly hid behind a large rock to avoid the evil wind.

After waiting for several dozen seconds, the evil wind stopped. Peeking out, I saw an irregularly shaped hole in the corner of the cliff, in the direction from which the evil wind had come!
"Ha! I've searched high and low without finding it, and now it's right here without any effort!"

Chen Xiu waited outside the cave for about half an hour, and when no more evil winds blew out, he carefully explored the cave.

Unfortunately, the gambler Ma Si'er's bone dice showed a seal, preventing the Rat Immortal Dou Zhongde from entering. Otherwise, they would definitely have been sent to scout ahead.
The cave is rugged, with loose rocks everywhere, as well as various cracks, stone platforms, and hollows... it's like parkour.

Fortunately, Chen Xiuxian's attributes and true energy were also quite good, so it wasn't too difficult.

As he ventured deeper into the cave, he thought to himself: When I get back, I need to find a martial art to learn.

Now, I have the Rainbow Sword and Rainbow Heart Sutra for attack. The sword energy that is a foot long is incredibly powerful. It can cut down a tree trunk as thick as a washbasin with a single strike!
Its internal energy is also abundant, making it very resilient in combat.

The only thing is that my lightness skill is still lacking. I need to find a skill that increases evasion or movement speed to make up for my weakness.

I wandered aimlessly for about half an hour in the dark, figuring things out as I went, and figured I had already entered the heart of the mountain.

As he was thinking, he heard someone calling for help: "Is anyone there? Help!"

He carefully crept toward the direction of the sound and discovered that the one calling for help was actually a pangolin covered in scales!
The pangolin seemed to have spotted Chen Xiuxian. "Help! Help! Grandpa...cough! Young Master, help me!"

Chen Xiuxian: Did he just let something slip?! Call me Grandpa!
Chen Xiuxian went over and saw that the pangolin was stuck in a crevice between rocks because a large rock had fallen from above. It couldn't break free.

"Young master, save me!" the pangolin was still shouting, his voice soft like that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

"Are you a monster?" Chen Xiuxian asked.

"Me? I'm not!"

"You can talk if you're not a monster?"

"Uh……"

Chen Xiuxian's words left the pangolin speechless.

Seeing that he was stuck and speechless for a moment, Chen Xiuxian asked, "What was that strange wind just now?"

The pangolin quickly changed the subject, saying, "It's all my fault. I accidentally let the fairy escape..."

—This is the place where a snake spirit has been suppressed for 999 years. In another year, it will turn to ashes.

As a result, the pangolin dug and dug in the small gourd mountain, broke through the mountain, and released the snake spirit!

Chen Xiuxian pointed at the pangolin: "You still say you're not a demon! You're the snake demon you let go!"

Pangolin: "I..."

Wait a minute! Is there something wrong with this script?
"I can make amends!" This time he reacted quickly.

"How to say?"

"There's a seven-colored gourd seed in these mountains, a treasure that can suppress demons. As long as you take it out and plant it, you can subdue the monsters!" the pangolin declared confidently.

Chen Xiuxian nodded, stroking a non-existent beard on his chin: "You know quite a lot~"

"That's it! Uh..."

The pangolin was furious at how infuriating this person was!
Chen Xiuxian ignored him and said, "In that case, I will go and retrieve the gourd seed, plant it, and subdue the demon."

As he spoke, he walked into the cave.

"Yes!" The pangolin nodded, but then realized it was still stuck in the crevice between the rocks and panicked: "Wait!"

"what happened?"

"Please get me out of here first!"

"Why would I save you? You released a monster, shouldn't you be punished?"

"I..." Oh, God of the Mountain, this old man, no, this young master! This young master is too difficult to please!

"You wouldn't have gotten that gourd seed without me!"

"why?"

"Because, because we need a gourd leaf..."

Chen Xiuxian put down his basket—half full of gourd leaves.

Seeing that the pangolin was about to turn to stone, Chen Xiuxian said, "Alright, I saved you. Remember to repay my kindness and help me grow gourds."

"sure."

The pangolin secretly wiped away its sweat, thinking that it was going to fail to complete the task assigned by the mountain god!
Chen Xiuxian channeled his inner energy, pushed over the large rock, about the height of a person, that was pressing down on the pangolin, and released it from the crevice.

The pangolin thanked him repeatedly, secretly marveling at his strength.

The two continued on their way, crossing precipitous stone bridges and passing colorful stalagmites... After walking for a long time, they finally saw a patch of red light.

At the center of the light was a stone platform, and on the platform was a gourd. The gourd emitted a red light, like a red sun inside the mountain!
What a treasure of heaven and earth!
"How do I do it?" Chen Xiuxian asked, taking out a gourd leaf.

The pangolin, having been thoroughly dealt with, dared not utter another word and thought to itself, "Just finish the quest quickly so I can log off!"
They directly explained how to collect the gourd seeds.

No one can get close, otherwise the gourd will spew out lightning and fire, which is extremely powerful. You must throw away the gourd leaves.

Chen Xiuxian grabbed a handful of gourd leaves and scattered them with a move called "Rain of Flowers".

A leaf fell onto the gourd, and the red light on the gourd disappeared, turning into a gourd seed.

Chen Xiuxian quickly stepped forward and picked up the gourd seed.

【Seven-Colored Gourd Seeds (Orange)】

6th-order materials

……

"Boom!"
Before he could take a closer look, a loud bang came from above, his feet trembled violently, and he lost his balance.

Trying to regain his balance, he discovered that the entire stone layer beneath his feet had collapsed, and he involuntarily fell.

From a distance, the entire Hulu Mountain looks as if it has been split in two!
Chen Xiuxian fell down the crevice, surrounded by boulders of all sizes, while the pangolin clung tightly to his leg.

Just when he thought his first dungeon run was going to fail, a gentle breeze lifted him up, and in the blink of an eye, he soared into the sky and drifted away.

By the time I came to my senses, we were about to land.

The man and the beast landed slowly on the ground like a leaf. Not far away was a thatched hut, a pine tree, and a small pond...

The pangolin stood up and nudged Chen Xiuxian's leg: "Young Master, look, we're home!"

Chen Xiuxian nodded: You even know where my home is? I didn't even know!

The pangolin's origins are highly suspicious, but it's not easy to investigate further, and it's hard to say who's behind it...

Chen Xiuxian also wanted to take another look at the gourd seed in his palm—what would happen if he didn't plant it and just left the dungeon?

But they didn't even give him a chance to exploit the bug; the gourd seed flew out of his hand in a flash, as if afraid someone would snatch it away!
It landed on the ground, burrowed into the earth in the blink of an eye, and then the water in the wooden bucket next to it swirled out and splashed onto the ground.

In the blink of an eye, a tender seedling sprouted, splitting a blue stone above it in two, and quickly grew and spread to the stone pillar, then to the other side.

Then it blossomed and bore fruit, producing seven gourds of different sizes and colors!

Then he called out "Grandpa, Grandpa".

Oh, is it that you didn't have time to modify the underlying code? You're making me sound so old!
"Good~ good boy~ hahaha!" Chen Xiuxian went up and looked at them one by one.

This gourd is wonderful!

If you were to take this down and refine it into a magic weapon, it would easily reach at least level 4!

Chen Xiuxian stroked the gourd and said happily, "This poor mountain valley lacks water and fertilizer. I will definitely find a way to fertilize you more in the future so that you can grow up quickly!"

Yes, it's organic farmyard manure! It's incredibly fertile!
Meanwhile, in a cave twenty miles away, a snake spirit was swaying her hips and happily drinking fine wine.

There must be hundreds of monsters of all sizes in the cave!
Spiders, centipedes, wasps, toads, bats... all sorts of strange creatures.

Two bats caught a rabbit and threw it at the snake demon. The snake demon pursed its lips and sucked the rabbit into its belly in the blink of an eye. It even wiped its mouth gently, very elegantly!
A celebratory feast to mark their escape from hardship—it was incredibly liberating.

However, at that moment, a crystal the size of a washbasin suddenly emitted light.

The snake spirit took out a golden ruyi scepter inlaid with gemstones and waved it. The largest surface of the crystal then displayed an image: a gourd vine with seven seven-colored gourds growing on it!

"Ah? It's that wretched gourd?! Where did it come from?!" The snake spirit's expression changed drastically.

With another wave of the Ruyi, the image shrunk and expanded to a panoramic view, revealing Chen Xiuxian weeding and watering the gourds, along with the pangolin, a group of sycophantic cheerleaders!
"Hmm?" The snake spirit stared at Chen Xiuxian, a smile creeping onto her lips.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiuxian was chatting with the pangolin, trying to extract some information about the demons from him—this guy was probably sent by someone and must know some inside information!
After their conversation, Chen Xiuxian was a little confused: "Wait! You mean there's only one snake demon? No scorpion demon?"

The pangolin was also a little confused: "A scorpion demon?"

Nobody told me there was a scorpion demon? Did someone add a character and give her more screen time?!
