Chapter 62: The Golden Fruit Under the Cliff

Murong Xue thought about what happened last night and her face was immediately filled with embarrassment and anger. She quickly said, “Nothing much!”

Hearing this, Chu Long looked at the two with some confusion. She did not understand what was going on.

Liu Yan laughed to himself. While roasting the ingredients, he said, “Let’s hurry up. Once we’re done, we’ll set off immediately. We can basically only move around in the yin region during the day. Time is limited.”

“Alright!” Chu Long nodded obediently and squatted to help.

Meanwhile, Murong Xue glanced at Liu Yan and felt extremely depressed.

She was clearly the one who had suffered a bigger loss last night. Why did Liu Yan make it sound like she had done something wrong? He was really too despicable.

However, even though Murong Xue was dissatisfied, she was too embarrassed to say anything out loud. The things that she had done were just too embarrassing. Murong Xue had been obsessed with body cultivation since she was young, so she did not have any experience in that aspect.

Last night, she had thought that Liu Yan had fallen asleep. Thinking that Liu Yan’s body was strong, she had only wanted to touch his muscles to see how they were.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yan hadn’t fallen asleep. Not only did he discover her, but he touched her instead...

The few of them finished roasting their food and ate. The rest were put away.

At this moment, under Liu Yan’s orders, the ice and fire two-headed wolf had transformed back into its shadow wolf appearance.

The ice and fire two-headed wolf was just too eye-catching. Its two heads that were of different elements looked extremely frightening, and its body was huge, as tall as two adults. Wherever it went, it would attract too much attention, which would easily bring unnecessary attention and trouble.

If it transformed into the appearance of a shadow wolf, it would be much more convenient for them. Though due to the evolution, after the transformation, it was still much bigger than the original shadow wolf that it had been when it first followed Liu Yan, it was now only half the height of a person and the size of two adults.

“It can even change its form? It looks so cute now,” Chu Long said in surprise.

She wanted to go up and stroke the wolf, but she had just taken two steps when she sensed the ferocity and hostility in the shadow wolf’s eyes. She hurriedly stopped in her tracks in fear.

“Alright, let’s set off first,” Liu Yan went up and patted the shadow wolf.

In front of Liu Yan, the shadow wolf immediately became much more obedient.

Soon, the three of them followed the shadow wolf and set off.

Their trip this time was mainly for the mysterious golden fruit. As such, they naturally did not need to fight with the fierce beasts along the way.

Liu Yan relied on his Omniscient Insight skill to sense the fierce beasts in the surroundings in advance. Then, he avoided them while following the shadow wolf.

Not long after, they arrived at a cliff on a mountain.

The shadow wolf pointed at the cliff as if to tell Liu Yan that this was where the golden fruits were.

The three went up to take a look. Chu Long immediately said in puzzlement, “There’s nothing. It’s just a cliff.”

Liu Yan didn’t see anything either. There was nothing below the cliff.

However, his Omniscient Insight told him that there was something not far below the cliff.

“I’ll go down and take a look,” With that, Liu Yan went down the cliff with his bare hands and started to inspect it.

With his terrifying physique, he was much bolder. He wasn’t worried that anything would happen.

After all, with just a bit of strength, he could dangle himself in the air and nothing would happen.

As Liu Yan went down the cliff, he indeed noticed something strange.

There was an ancient tree in the recess. The tree looked very old, and it looked like it was going to break at any moment.

On the ancient tree were six fist-sized golden fruits that were emitting eye-catching golden lights.

In addition, the golden fruits weren’t emitting any fragrance. They were extremely hidden, causing the Awakened and fierce beasts above the cliff to be unable to discover the fruits. No Awakened or fierce beasts would go down the cliff to check for no reason either.

Liu Yan did a flip and exerted force with his hand. With that, he returned to the top of the cliff.

“I’ve found it. It’s not far from the bottom of the cliff,” Liu Yan said.

The shadow wolf let out a cry. Liu Yan could not understand its cry, but through their connected minds, he could roughly understand what it meant.

It seemed to mean that after the golden fruit was picked, it would emit an extremely fragrant fragrance that would attract the Awakened and fierce beasts.

In addition, the golden fruit seemed to have to be eaten as soon as possible after it was picked. It could not wait or else its effect would be lost very quickly.

Liu Yan nodded, understanding the meaning of the shadow wolf. He looked at Chu Long and Murong Xue, then said, “I need to go down the cliff to eat a special fruit. It should be able to increase my strength. During the process, it will emit a fragrance, attracting the fierce beasts and even the Awakened. During this period, I need you to protect me.”

Chu Long did not think too much about it. She nodded and said, “Okay, don’t worry. We will do our best to protect you. Go ahead.”

Murong Xue, who was still a little depressed because of last night’s incident, did not mind it too much either. She nodded slightly and agreed.

Seeing this, Liu Yan was relieved. He glanced at the shadow wolf and asked it to help when the two girls could not hold on any longer.

To be honest, with the protection of the shadow wolf, Liu Yan would probably be safe enough. Worst come to worst, he could release the enchanted puppets, which would be enough too.

However, on one hand, those were Liu Yan’s trump cards, and he did not want to use them too early.

On the other hand, he could also use this opportunity to train Murong Xue and Chu Long’s cooperative combat ability.

In the battle last night, he had quickly taken care of the ghost-face jellyfish king with his strength.

But in that battle, he had also discovered that Chu long and Murong Xue’s team cooperation experience was somewhat lacking, and they were unfamiliar with each other. They needed to work together more.

They had, after all, formed a small team. The team needed to cooperate in battle so that they could display greater battle strength.

After he finished giving orders for everything, Liu Yan flipped down the cliff again.

Beside the ancient tree was a small piece of flat ground that could be used as a foothold.

It was not a huge ground, but enough for Liu Yan to sit.

After sitting, Liu Yan looked at the six golden fruits.

He carefully picked one, and immediately, the fragrance filled the air.

The fragrance assailed his nose, and at the same time, it spread in all directions. It was an extremely special fragrance that made those who smelled it feel comfortable.

Murong Xue and Chu Long immediately caught a waft of the fragrance on the cliff.

“It smells so good, what is this?” Chu Long said in surprise.

“It should be some kind of rare spirit medicine or fruit. However, we humans are generally unable to absorb such a rare item directly. We usually need a special method to refine such things. Is Liu Yan planning to eat the fruit directly under the cliff? He’s that brave and his body is that strong?” Murong Xue asked in a somewhat puzzled manner.

At the same time, the fragrance spread in all directions.

Because it was too dense, it drifted to a distance in the perimeter.

The Awakened and fierce beasts smelled it and immediately understood that there should be some treasure at the cliff. All of them were attracted and headed in the direction of the cliff.
