C208 Incense Burning
In fact, a dire beast had an obvious advantage over a cultivator in terms of blood energy and body. Moreover, it did not matter how big or small the dire beast was.
Of the few people present, even Fan Cheng did not dare to directly contend against the Flame Teeth Rat, let alone get bitten by it.
But now, when everyone looked at Chu Yan, he let out a cry and waved his hands, "So much blood, it's really disgusting!"
Everyone: "..."
He looked at his wrist again. It was clean and fair, without a single scar.
As for the Flame Teeth Rat, it had been thrown to the ground. It had lost its head and was dead.
Everyone looked at each other in silence. They all had the same thought in their minds: wasn't this Junior Brother's body a little too exaggerated?
"Junior brother, show me your hand." Out of concern, Xu Ya went forward and asked with concern.
Seeing Chu Yan's completely unharmed wrist, Xu Ya was both amazed and puzzled. "Junior Brother, your body is really not ordinary strong."
Chu Yan could not help but come up with a reason. "When I was young and my body was weak, my family took care of me."
Everyone was skeptical, but no matter how close the relationship was between cultivators, it was not suitable for them to ask about other people's secrets. Thus, at this moment, everyone no longer asked.
However, in their hearts, their evaluation of Chu Yan had increased by a few points.
As expected of someone highly regarded by the Senior Sister Su, just her powerful physique at this realm was enough to make people gasp in admiration.
What they didn't know was that about a month ago, Chu Yan's body wasn't as strong as it was now, but he had used those fifty days to condense his body using spirit stones.
In addition, after spending three days in the spacetime cage, only one day had passed in the real world.
In other words, the Chu Yan in their hearts had only entered the sect for a little more than a month. In fact, Chu Yan had already entered the sect for almost half a year.
Seeing the strength that Chu Yan had just unintentionally displayed, Fan Cheng became even more confident in the success of this mission.
For example, a bucket was made up of five different pieces of wood. The shortest piece of wood was as long as the other pieces. This bucket naturally didn't have a short piece of wood.
After walking for a while, Chu Yan saw a large area of plants that were as black as ink in front of him.
These plants grew in twisted patterns, reaching to the waist, like charred vines.
But the fact is, these plants are alive and well.
What attracted the most attention were the fruits growing on top of the plants.
These fruits were the size of an adult's fist. They were bright red and gave off a clear feeling. At first glance, they looked like small red lanterns.
Chu Yan knew that those were Fire Spirit Fruit s.
However, Fire Spirit Fruit s were not easy to grow, and moreover, they were the food of Flame Teeth Rat s, so they would definitely be eaten. Therefore, although these black vines were growing everywhere, only a portion of them had Fire Spirit Fruit s growing on them.
Chu Yan looked over, and saw that there were about four to five hundred Fire Spirit Fruit present, scattered to the extreme.
At this time, he finally understood why Fan Cheng needed to gather five people to complete this mission.
First of all, there was someone who was responsible for luring the Flame Teeth Rat away. Not only did they need time to harvest the scattered growth of the Fire Spirit Fruit, if one person lured away the Flame Teeth Rat and another person was responsible for harvesting it, there wouldn't be much time left.
However, Chu Yan looked at Xu Ya and Dou Huanhuan, and thought: If three people were to pick it, no matter how slow it is, everyone would probably be able to pick around ten or twenty of them. If Senior Brother Fan and the others had lured the Flame Teeth Rat away a little longer, they might have been able to pick even thirty, but the mission requires only fifty of them.
As if he understood Chu Yan's thoughts, Xu Ya smiled and said: "Junior brother, you only need fifty Fire Spirit Fruit to complete the mission, but the Fire Spirit Fruit s are useful for refining pills and setting up the array, so normally we would prepare a few, and have the time to barter between disciples, and also use the Fire Spirit Fruit as a bargaining chip, after all, this kind of material is not easy to harvest, and it can be considered as one of the hard currency."
Because Chu Yan had previously helped everyone push Mei Yunpeng back, Xu Ya's good impression of him had risen greatly. Although it was not to the extent of liking him for the time being, as the sect's senior sister's love and love for her junior brother was more than enough, he could only explain it to Chu Yan in a gentle voice and was extremely patient.
Hearing that, Chu Yan immediately understood.
The mission said it would cost fifty crystals, but they could take the opportunity to pick a few more.
"Mm, I understand." Chu Yan nodded, at the moment when he looked at the vines, he had already formed a plan in his mind.
"Alright, let's make some preparations. Junior Brother Li and I will be responsible for luring the Flame Teeth Rat away, then Junior Sister Li and Junior Brother Chu can pick the Fire Spirit Fruit as soon as possible." Fan Cheng said.
It was clear that they had cooperated with each other many times and had a tacit understanding.
Fan Cheng and Li Yao split into two directions, and when they were about six hundred meters away from the crowd, with a serious expression, they took out a finger thick incense stick.
Xu Ya explained in a low voice beside Chu Yan's ear: "The smell emitted after igniting this incense can attract Flame Teeth Rat. At that time, Senior Brother Fan and Senior Brother Li will hold these two incense sticks in their hands and lure the Flame Teeth Rat away. We will take this opportunity to pick the Fire Spirit Fruit."
"How long?" Chu Yan looked into the distance, Fan Cheng and Li Yao had already lit the incense.
"It usually burns for about twenty minutes, but normally we'll be back in fifteen minutes." Dou Huanhuan said.
"Alright." Chu Yan nodded, his gaze sweeping between Fan Cheng and the vine.
After a while, Chu Yan heard a fine rustling sound from within the vines.
At the same time, the vines started to sway slightly, and the area became larger and larger, giving off the feeling that there were hundreds of big insects crawling within.
But when Chu Yan looked back, he saw that both Xu Ya and Dou Huanhuan were confident, obviously they had experience with this.
After a while, Chu Yan saw the outermost vines were suddenly pushed away. A plump, completely black Flame Teeth Rat that was half the length of an adult's arm stuck its head out from inside, its small nose sniffing towards Fan Cheng's direction, its eyes revealing an intoxicated look, as if it was an alcoholic smelling an aged good wine.
Immediately after, Flame Teeth Rat's heads emerged one after another, either towards Fan Cheng's direction or Li Yao's direction.
The densely packed mouse heads trembled, looking at how it shook slightly, causing goosebumps on everyone's skin. Chu Yan could not help but feel a little disgusted.
Turning their heads, they saw that Xu Ya and Dou Huanhuan, who were previously very calm, were also frowning. It was obvious that with hundreds of fat rats huddled together, no one would feel comfortable if they were seen.
