After chatting for a while, Xu Lei got down to business: "We found a purple apricot tree, but it was guarded by a late first-order giant ape."
"Purple apricot fruit? How many are there?"
Qin Qing asked excitedly.
Purple apricot fruit has the effect of improving mana and is suitable for Qi refining monks.
"When we discovered the purple apricot fruit tree, there were more than 20 of them, but we don't know yet."
Xu Lei said that the strong apes guard the purple apricot fruit trees, and there is no guarantee that they will not eat some purple apricot fruits during this period.
"Without further delay, let's set off immediately! Fairy Ye has laid out a formation. As long as they are introduced into the formation, they will definitely be able to capture them."
Xu Wu urged.
Shen Long had no objection. It would be better to get the purple apricot fruit as soon as possible.
"Then let's set off! I hope everything goes well."
Xu Lei said as the group left Qingzhuyuan.
After leaving Fangshi, Xu Lei took out the Qingyun Boat and walked on it. Shen Long and the others followed him to the Qingyun Boat.
Xu Lei pinched the magic formula, and the Qingyun boat slowly lifted into the sky and flew towards the sky.
Five days later, the Qingyun boat landed in an open area, not far from a green bamboo forest.
Shen Long and eight others got off the Qingyun Boat. Xu Lei put away the Qingyun Boat, put a layer of defense on himself, and walked towards the bamboo forest.
Shen Long thought, and a water-blue light curtain appeared, protecting his whole body, and followed him.
Ye Yutang and the other six people applied a defense to themselves one after another and followed.
They were not moving fast, and they looked around with alert faces.
Half a quarter of an hour later, they stood at the foot of a steep mountain. There was a cave several feet wide halfway up the mountain, and the vegetation was dense on the mountain.
"The powerful ape is in that cave."
Xu Lei pointed to the cave halfway up the mountain and said.
Ye Yuqing and Ye Yutang took out the array flags and array plates to arrange the array, and waited for them to set up the array.
Qin Qing's feet were shining with green light, and he ran towards the mountain.
Ye Yuqing took out a green flag and injected magic power into it. The flag surface lit up with a dazzling green light, and a large green mist surged out, covering the seven of them.
The green mist dissipated, and they disappeared.
Not long after, a loud beast roar came from the cave, and the whole peak shook slightly. Qin Qing rushed out of the cave with a panic expression.
He was wearing a yellow armor, which was transformed by the earth armor technique.
Qin Qing ran down the mountain quickly. Before he ran far, a giant ape with a yellow body rushed out of the cave. The giant ape was about ten feet tall, with bared teeth and yellow mane all over its body.
The powerful ape was extremely strong and was not easy to deal with.
The powerful ape raised his right foot and stomped hard on the ground. The ground shook slightly, and more than a dozen thick yellow earth cones broke out of the ground and rushed straight towards Qin Qing.
The yellow earth cones hit the yellow armor, and there was a muffled sound. The yellow armor was safe and sound, but Qin Qing's speed slowed down.
He quickly sacrificed a green flying knife and cut off these yellow earth cones. At this time, the powerful ape caught up and was only a few feet away from Qin Qing.
A green vine as thick as an adult's arm broke out of the ground and entangled the right leg of the powerful ape. The powerful ape tore it hard and broke the green vine, but soon, a green vine of similar thickness broke out of the ground and entangled the left leg of the powerful ape.
It easily broke the green vine, and another thick green vine broke out of the ground and entangled the right leg of the powerful ape.
The green vine could not do anything to the powerful ape, but Qin Qing took this opportunity to escape to the foot of the mountain.
The powerful ape did not intend to continue chasing, and turned to walk towards the cave. A red fireball as big as a water tank fell from the sky and hit it, and the rolling flames engulfed the powerful ape's body.
The powerful ape let out an angry roar, turned around, and his eyes were fierce.
Qin Qing controlled the green flying knife to slash at the powerful ape. The powerful ape was not afraid at all and greeted it with his right fist.
The green flying knife slashed on the right fist of the powerful ape, and a dull sound of metal hitting metal was heard, and the green flying knife flew backwards.
Qin Qing sacrificed a fireball talisman, which turned into a red fireball as big as a millstone and hit the powerful ape.
The powerful ape felt the high temperature emitted by the red fireball and did not dare to take it head-on. He wanted to avoid it, but a thick green vine broke out of the ground and entangled the left leg of the powerful ape. As soon as it tore off the green vine, the red fireball hit it.
Most of the hair of the powerful ape was burned off, which completely angered it, and it rushed down the mountain.
Qin Qing's feet were shining with green light, and he ran towards the distance. The powerful ape followed closely. When it reached the foot of the mountain, thick green vines emerged from the ground and entangled its feet.
The great ape struggled hard, but to no avail.
Eight people from Shen Long also showed up, sacrificing magical weapons or casting spells to attack the powerful ape.
Ye Yutang released the Lihuo Falcon, and Ye Yuqing released the Qingfeng Tiger.
Two fists were unable to defeat four hands. The powerful ape was trapped by the formation and became a living target. It was no match for Shen Long and the eight men. In less than half a quarter of an hour, the head of the powerful ape was chopped off by a blue dagger.
"Finally solved."
Xu Wen looked happy.
They put away the body of the powerful ape, removed the formation, and walked towards the mountain.
Walking into the cave, the cave is dark and damp.
Sun Yang took out a piece of moonstone for lighting, and not long after, they came to the end of the cave and appeared in a cave as big as an acre.
There is a purple fruit tree about ten feet high in the lower left corner, with nineteen oval-shaped purple fruits hanging on the tree.
"Purple apricot fruit!"
Qin Qing looked happy.
"It ate a lot, and there are still nineteen more."
Sun Yang frowned and said.
They picked all the purple apricot fruits, three each for Xu Lei, Ye Yutang, Ye Yuqing and Sun Yang, two each for Shen Long, Qin Qing and Xu Wen, and one for Xu Wu.
Purple apricot fruit trees are also worth a lot of spiritual stones, but their storage bags do not have such a large space and are inconvenient to carry. They can be transported by Qingyun boat.
They carefully dug out the purple apricot tree. Xu Lei took out the Qingyun Boat and placed the purple apricot tree on the Qingyun Boat.
They walked to the Qingyun Boat one after another. Xu Lei pinched the magic formula, and the Qingyun Boat suddenly emitted a green light and flew towards the outside.
After flying out of the cave, Qingyun Zhou flew high into the sky.
There was a piercing sound of birdsong, and a huge green eagle appeared in the sky, running towards them quickly.
"No, it's a second-level demon bird."
Ye Yuqing's appearance changed drastically, and she quickly took out more than a dozen fire snake talismans, which turned into more than a dozen red fire snakes about ten feet long, and went straight towards the giant cyan eagle.
Xu Lei pinched the magic formula, and the Qingyun boat quickly landed on the ground.
A harsh sound broke through the air, and dozens of cyan wind blades descended from the sky, slashing at them.
With a thought in Shen Long's mind, a blue water curtain appeared close to him, and he used the black turtle shield, flying around him.
He took out the Earth Escape Talisman and slapped it on his body. A yellow light flashed, and a yellow light curtain emerged, wrapped around his body, penetrated into the ground, and escaped from the Earth.
