My fruit shop became popular in the world

I don't know what method He De Daochang used to convince the director, and the crew agreed to leave the location first and shoot elsewhere.

At the same time that the crew set off, Xuanchu and Changxiao also set off, but in the opposite direction—after reconnaissance, the monster that night seemed to have come out from the depths of the primeval forest near the village.

This forest covers a vast area, and few people usually come to it, and the crew only shoots carefully at the edge of the forest.

For ordinary people, such a primitive environment is not conducive to life, but for Xuanchu and the others, the tree canopy that covers the sky and the sun is the best hiding place. people found out.

The two quickly shuttled through the forest according to the traces and aura left by the monster.

"Wait a minute." Chang Xiao stopped suddenly, with a vigilant expression, "There seems to be something wrong with this place."

"Huh?" Xuan Chu looked around blankly.

At first glance, this area does not seem to be much different from other places. The tall tree crowns that block the sky and the sun, and the exposed aerial roots of plants are thick and wild, which is a typical primeval forest scene.

But soon, he also discovered an abnormality.

He tried to use his spiritual power to launch the simplest flame control technique, but the flames he created were smaller than a grain of rice, and went out after a few flashes.

He frowned tightly: "What's going on?"

He took out his spiritual knowledge again, and found that he couldn't even turn on the machine.

The function of the spiritual knowledge is similar to the mobile phone in the human world. The difference is that the mobile phone runs on electricity and signals, while the spiritual knowledge needs to be injected with spiritual power to use it normally.

"I'll give it a try." Chang Xiao injected a wave of spiritual power into his spiritual knowledge, but there was also no response.

"It's so strange, there should be something around here that interferes with the use of spiritual power." Xuan Chu frowned, stepped back half a step unconsciously, and suddenly stepped on a stone-like protrusion under his feet.

"Be careful!" Chang Xiao suddenly rushed forward, overwhelmed Xuan Chu, and rolled around on the spot several times with his arms around him.

The next moment, the sound of an explosion sounded behind them, and in the air waves soaring into the sky, the dust, stones and plants in the sky evaporated into gas, and the originally dense jungle disappeared in an instant, leaving only a big bare pit in place.

"Mr. Dao, are you alright?" Xuan Chu hurriedly asked.

When the explosion happened, he was protected by Chang Xiao in his arms, who blocked nearly 90.00% of the explosion power for him.

Chang Xiao gritted his teeth, pretending to be calm: "It's okay."

Xuan Chu frowned: "Take off your clothes and let me see."

Chang Xiao's expression froze, his eyes dodged: "No, there's no need, I'm fine if I say it's fine."

Xuan Chu said nothing, and reached out to pat him on the back.

"Hiss!" Chang Xiao couldn't help taking a breath.

Xuan Chu: "..."

Chang Xiao: "..."

In the end, Chang Xiao obediently took off his coat.

His clothes were transformed with spiritual power, and on the surface they looked fine, but the wound on his back couldn't be covered, and the hideous wound was directly exposed in the air.

Xuanchu has followed his master to heal diseases for many years, and he has seen more terrible injuries than this one, so he should have gotten used to it by now, but for some reason, facing Changxiao's injury, his heart was completely confused.

He took a few deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, took out the wound medicine from the bag in his sleeve, and carefully applied it on him.

With his back turned to him, Chang Xiao felt his hands touch his skin from time to time, his fingertips were slightly cool, and he couldn't help shivering.

"It hurts?" Xuan Chu looked nervous.

It's not pain, it's itching.Chang Xiao answered in his heart.

"Hurry up." His face was expressionless, but the roots of his ears were slightly red.

"Oh good." Xuan Chu speeded up.

I don't know if he was in a hurry, but his face was also a little hot.

After the dressing was finished, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"There must be something wrong here." Xuan Chu said decisively, "The power of the explosion just now does not belong to the human world, and is even rare in the cultivation world."

Chang Xiao frowned: "Could it be related to those monsters?"

"It's hard to say, but I guess, there may be similar 'traps' around here, we must be careful."

This time, the two of them didn't dare to be careless, for fear of accidentally touching the mechanism again.After all, this area seems to be unable to use spiritual power normally. If there is another explosion, they may not be as lucky as before.

Fortunately, they didn't encounter any more accidents. Instead, they found several large pits nearby. One of the pits was covered with weeds and looked old.

On the edge of a newly discovered large pit, they accidentally found the remains of half of the monster that was blown away. According to the degree of decay of the corpse, the time of death should be within a few days.

"Who arranged all this? What is his purpose?" Xuan Chu was puzzled.

The group of monsters that attacked them that night must not have such ability, could it be someone who manipulated them behind the scenes?

But if this is the case, why would even monsters be tricked?

hula-la-

"Dao Jun, did you hear any sound?" Xuan Chu was taken aback.

***

Heavenly Court, Department of Alien Beasts.

Wu Lan couldn't figure out how many times she called Xuan Chu's number, but no one answered.

Not long ago, he received some photos from Xuan Chu, asking him to help identify the monster information.

Since most of the monsters in the photos died tragically, it took him a while to confirm that these monsters were exactly the ones missing from the Xianxiang Fruit Company's experimental base.

As soon as he confirmed the information, he wanted to contact Xuan Chu, but the other party never responded.

"Why can't I get in touch at such a time? Is there anything wrong?" He was so anxious that he circled around.

……

Qingqiu, Qingguang Pavilion.

"do not want!"

The nine-tailed fox king Xuan Yi woke up from his dream, his chest heaved and his back was wet.

Looking at the familiar bedroom, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a dream.

However, the texture of this dream is too real, so real that it is suffocating.

"Wang, are you alright?" Someone knocked on the door, it was his valet Hu Lingyue.

"It's okay, you can step back." Xuan Yi thought for a while, then changed his mind, "Wait a minute, Lingyue, come in."

The more the fox didn't understand, he cautiously opened the door and entered.

After a while, he heard Xuan Yi say: "Lingyue, how is Chu'er doing recently?"

The more Hu Ling could see that he was in a bad mood, he intentionally chose a happy event and said, "My lord, the fruit shop of His Highness the Second Highness has recently added a new store in a city called Taining in the Human World, and His Highness has been helping there recently. "

Xuan Yi nodded, and somehow recalled the nightmare just now, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

"Lingyue, help me contact Chu'er, I want to talk to him."

"Yes." Hu Lingyue took out his spiritual knowledge to call Xuanchu, but he called Xuanchu several times in a row, but the other party didn't get through.

"Maybe the Second Highness is busy?" He scratched his head and guessed.

Through the veil, Hu Ling couldn't see Xuan Yi's expression clearly, but could feel his breathing getting faster and faster.

"Lingyue."

"Yes!" Hu Lingyue rarely met Xuan Yi who was so serious, even though he didn't know exactly what happened, he also became nervous.

"Immediately send someone to the human world to find Chu'er and confirm his safety."

"Understood!" Hu Lingyue responded loudly.

Hu Ling left in a hurry, Xuan Yi's legs went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.

Why can't I contact Chu'er all of a sudden?Did that dream really imply something?

Thinking of the tragedy in the dream, he couldn't help shivering.

God bless, Chu'er must be safe...

***

After careful and rigorous investigation, Xuanchu and Changxiao confirmed the source of the strange sound—it was inside the mountain.

They searched for a long time, and finally found a cave covered by plants on the mountain wall. There were traces of man-made excavation on the edge of the cave, which did not seem to be very old.

Things have developed to this point, of course, the two of them can't back down here, and decided to go into the cave to find out what happened.

After entering the cave, Xuan Chu covered his mouth and nose, frowned and said, "God, why is it so stinky?"

The air in the cave was turbid and smelly, and Xuan Chu's sense of smell was so keen that he almost vomited out on the spot.

Chang Xiao solemnly said, "It's the smell of all kinds of monsters mixed together."

Xuan Chu looked for joy in the bitterness: "That is to say, let's find the right direction?"

The entrance of the cave twists and turns, all the way down.

The more he walked in, Xuanchu found that the feeling of being suppressed by the spiritual power became more and more obvious.He tried to activate the flame control technique again, and found that this time he couldn't even spark a flame the size of a grain of rice.

Fortunately, he still has a lot of lighting tools in his sleeves that don't need to be driven by spiritual power, otherwise, even lighting would be difficult in this dark environment.

Occasionally, the corpses of monsters were found on the road, all of which were tragic deaths, but they didn't seem to be attacked from the outside, more like an unnatural death from the inside out.

Xuan Chu vaguely felt that this method of death was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Before he could figure it out, his thoughts were interrupted by Chang Xiao: "There seems to be something on the mountain wall."

He immediately moved the flashlight towards the mountain wall, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "There are so many runes!"

I saw dense runes engraved on the mountain walls on both sides and even above the head, extending and spreading into the depths of the cave.

"No, I'm so dizzy." Xuan Chu leaned close to the mountain wall, wanting to study the patterns of the runes, but after staring at them for about ten seconds, he felt dizzy, his legs went limp, and he almost fell backwards.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Chang Xiao put his arms around his waist: "Are you okay?"

Xuanchu grabbed Chang Xiao's shoulder subconsciously, and murmured: "That rune is so powerful, it feels like a strong force hits the brain, and there is no way to continue thinking."

"Really?" Chang Xiao was stunned, "But I think it's okay? I don't feel anything."

"... Daojun, although I understand that you didn't mean it, but this tone is really a bit ordinary." Xuan Chu complained.

But in any case, the rune has no effect on Chang Xiao, which is a good thing.

Chang Xiao tried to draw a gourd according to the runes and drew a few runes for Xuan Chu to see, but this time Xuan Chu no longer felt the dizziness.

"It may be because only part of the runes were intercepted, or it may be related to the person who set up these runes." Xuan Chu touched his chin and analyzed, "Looking at the style, it should be a rune for suppressing evil and exorcising demons? Hmm , Could it be that an evil spirit has been suppressed here?"

While studying, the sound of "hula la" sounded again, this time the sound was louder and clearer, as if it was all around.

The two looked at each other.

"Could it be that I was right..." Xuan Chu's eyes straightened.

Chang Xiao's eyes narrowed, and he sneered, "You'll know if you don't see it."

The two put aside their research on the runes for the time being, and continued to go deep into the cave.

But as they walked, there was suddenly no way ahead, and a wall lay in front of the two of them, cutting off the direction they were going.

"What's going on?" Xuan Chu was puzzled.

They heard it very clearly just now, and the strange sound clearly came from here.

Chang Xiao was about to speak when he suddenly noticed something and raised his head suddenly.

Noticing his movements, Xuan Chu also raised his head, and found two huge lanterns above his head... No, those are not lanterns, but eyes!

It turned out that what stood in front of them was not a wall, but an extremely huge head, which at first glance looked like a tiger's head magnified countless times.

What is horrifying is that this "tiger" has only one head, and all parts of the body below the neck have disappeared.

And above the "tiger head", there are countless chains transformed by divine power hanging down, binding it tightly.

Even the most stupid person should understand at this moment that the purpose of this cave is to suppress this monster with only a head...

Xuan Chu kept his head up, as if a bucket of ice water was poured over his head on a cold day, and the blood stopped flowing all over his body.

This tiger head, this tiger head...he had seen it with his own eyes!

The difference is that the opponent still had a body back then, covered with thick, hedgehog-like hair, with a pair of huge wings growing out of both ribs, flying extremely fast, and was best at attacking from behind when people were not prepared.

With a "swish", Xuan Chu's face lost all color, his complexion was as white as a piece of paper, and he trembled uncontrollably.

"What's wrong with you?" Chang Xiao sensed that something was wrong with him, and said blankly.

He admits that the head does look uncomfortable, but he shouldn't be afraid of it, right?

Xuan Chu couldn't answer.

Whoever was attacked by such a monster in childhood, and almost died in the mouth of the beast, probably couldn't perform better than him.

He recognized at a glance that the original body of the "tiger head" was Qiongqi, an ancient ferocious beast that once invaded Qingqiu and caused tragic casualties.

A few years ago, when Qiongqi invaded Qingqiu, the fox king Xuanyi led the nine-tailed fox tribe to fight hard, but they still lost to this ferocious beast.

Xuanchu was accidentally captured by Qiongqi, and at the moment when Qiongqi gnawed off his head and swallowed him, a mysterious man in the form of Hongjun Taoist appeared in time, controlled Qiongqi, and saved Xuanchu's life.

This incident brought not only physical harm to the young Xuan Chu, but also an indelible psychological shadow.

Even though he knew that Qiongqi had been executed, he still trembled uncontrollably when he saw animals like tigers and hedgehogs.

Qiongqi also found Xuan Chu, his two searchlight-like eyes shone fiercely with excitement, and he laughed maliciously: "I said this smell is a bit familiar, so it's you, old friend."

Seeing that something was wrong, Chang Xiao jumped in front of Xuan Chu and said angrily, "Who the hell are you?"

What's the matter?Are they familiar?

Qiongqi rolled his eyes, looked at Changxiao, twitched his nose, showed a fascinated look, stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, and said with a sinister smile: "I haven't smelled such a fragrant prey for many years, it seems that today Luckily, hahahahaha..."

"You're dreaming!" Chang Xiao sneered.

"Be careful, Daoist. This is Qiongqi, known for its ferocity and tyranny, its strength should not be underestimated." Xuan Chu reminded him in a low voice behind him.

Changxiao was puzzled: "Qongqi? Didn't it mean that it was dead?"

He had been in Qingqiu's Zangshu Pavilion before, knew about Qingqiu's history, and was no stranger to the tragedy that almost led to the extermination of Qingqiu's Nine-Tailed Fox clan.

Xuanchu took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly. This action brought him back a little calm: "I don't know. I was seriously injured at that time. After waking up, everyone told me that Qiongqi had been dealt with by Daozu gone."

"Bah! Hongjun? What is he?" Qiongqi said angrily, "I am the strongest!"

Before the words were finished, a cloud of black mist spewed out from the giant's mouth, quickly spreading around.

"Be careful, this mist is poisonous. After inhaling it, you will become dizzy and have weakness in your hands and feet." Xuan Chu's face changed slightly, reminding Chang Xiao.

Chang Xiao sneered, golden eyes flashed, he took a deep breath, exhaled a breath of fresh air, consciously chasing the black mist as if alive, dispelling and devouring it bit by bit.

"Mr. Dao, take it easy." Xuan Chu reminded in a low voice with worry in his eyes.

This place is strangely evil, his spiritual power has been greatly suppressed, and he can only exert less than one-tenth of his usual skill, and it is the same for Chang Xiao.

"Small idea." Chang Xiao pursed his lips, pretending to be relaxed, and quietly clenched his hands hanging by his side.

"It's interesting, there are not many people who know how to practice ancient demons nowadays." Qiongqi was quite surprised, "Boy, what is your background?"

Chang Xiao snorted coldly, and didn't bother to answer.

Qiongqi laughed: "You have a big temper. But it doesn't matter, no matter who you are, you will end up like those monsters and become my belly hahahahahaha..."

Xuan Chu really wanted to complain: But you don't seem to have a stomach, do you?

The moment he was distracted, Qiongqi took the initiative to attack, and two fierce lights shot out from his eyes, shooting at the two of them respectively.

Xuan Chu was about to dodge, but he saw the chains of divine lights on the top of the cave emitting dazzling light, intertwined into a huge cage.At the same time, one after another runes peeled off from the mountain wall and fell into the cage, shining even brighter.

"Clang!" The impact was earth-shattering, and the entire cave was shaken.

Qiongqi's attack was firmly blocked in the cage.

Xuan Chu was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

He finally understood why this place is so weird, the divine power "bomb" near the cave, and the runes on the wall

, I am afraid that they are all "serving" Qiongqi, and the purpose is to trap him here.

Then, it is self-evident who set up this seal in the first place——

"Hong! Jun!" Qiongqi's eyes were about to burst, and his roar was earth-shattering, shaking people's eardrums with pain, "Don't try to trap me!"

As he said that, the huge head struggled and hit the divine power cage.Under his attack, gravel and sand fell from the top of the cave,

Xuan Chu frowned.

Qiongqi is an ancient ferocious beast, even if he has only one head left, even if his mana is suppressed, he still cannot be underestimated.

Although Qiongqi seems to be at a disadvantage at the moment, in fact, looking at the surrounding environment, it is not the first time that Qiongqi has caused damage, and everywhere in the cave has been damaged or even collapsed.

In short, this magic circle is already in a precarious state, and it may be completely destroyed at any time.

What's worse, although the magic circle here trapped Qiongqi, it also restrained Xuanchu's performance.

If Qiongqi really escapes...

Xuan Chu could not help but shudder.

At this time, there was another loud bang, and he looked intently, a mountain wall collapsed in a small area because it could not withstand Qiongqi's violent attack.

Xuan Chu's heart sank heavily.

The most worrying thing is about to happen.

With the collapse of the mountain wall, the effectiveness of the magic circle weakened, and Qiongqi took the opportunity to attack the divine power cage, but he knocked a hole in the originally airtight cage.

His mouth gaped open excitedly, and his barbed tongue stuck out from the gap.

The tongue was stretched infinitely, and flew straight towards Xuan Chu's direction.

Xuan Chu's pupils contracted sharply, watching the tongue getting bigger and closer...

The shadow that was captured by Qiongqi in childhood was triggered again, the blood in his body seemed to be frozen, his reaction was slow for a second, and then he hurriedly avoided amidst Changxiao's roar.

However, it was still a step too late.The long tongue wrapped around his neck, its barbs digging deep into his flesh.He struggled, but the barb went deeper and deeper.

"Hey ha ha ha ha ha..." The tooth-piercing laughter echoed in the cave, Qiong Qi couldn't wait to suck his blood, and sighed, "I haven't tasted such a delicious prey for a long time."

"You're courting death!" Seeing this, Chang Xiao's eyes were bloodshot.

Regardless of other things, he forcibly mobilized his spiritual power, rolled on the ground, turned into a black beast, and let out an earth-shattering roar.

When Qiongqi saw his prototype, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he was ecstatic.

"Qilin, so you are Qilin!" His eyes flickered with madness, "God help me too!"

He has worked so hard to plan for so many years, secretly cultivated and devoured so many monster ghosts, in order to accumulate strength, and one day he will be able to regenerate the body that was burned by Hongjun with a divine fire, and restore his peak state.

Now that Qilin is in front of him, how can he not be crazy and excited at such a good opportunity to nourish?

Taking advantage of the moment when he was distracted, Xuan Chu seized the opportunity and pulled out a dagger with pain, injected divine power, and swung his backhand at Qiongqi's long tongue with all his strength.

The sharp edge of the sword touched the thick, long tongue with barbs all over it, making the sound of metal impact, unable to penetrate another half inch.

That tongue is actually harder than a sword that cuts iron like mud!

Qiongqi sneered: "You just want to run? It's not that easy."

"Dang!" A flash of lightning struck down, and Qiongqi was in pain, subconsciously retracting his tongue.

Regardless of the sharp barbs still sticking out of his neck, Xuan Chu struggled to roll backwards, broke free from Qiongqi's imprisonment, and fell from mid-air.

At the very moment, a black shadow like a whirlwind jumped up and caught him in time.

"Thank you, Daoist Lord." Xuan Chu lay on Qilin's generous back, panting heavily.

The barbs on Qiongqi's tongue are not only sharp, but also contain venom, in order to better paralyze and catch prey.

At this moment, the toxin has gradually invaded Xuanchu's limbs and bones, and his hands and feet began to become numb. If the toxin is not detoxified in time, the toxin will travel through the whole body, ranging from paralysis to life and death.

Chang Xiao put him down, turned into a human form, cut his finger without hesitation, bleed out a drop of unicorn blood, and sent it to Xuan Chu's mouth.

As an ancient beast, Qilin has the extraordinary ability to purify everything. It can expel evil spirits with every breath. Flesh and flesh are rare panaceas that can cure any strange and difficult diseases in the world.

Xuan Chu was fed with unicorn blood before he recovered his senses. He was surprised and moved. He didn't expect Chang Xiao to do this for himself.

"Actually, Daoist, you don't have to do this. I have brought medicine. Even if I can't completely detoxify, it's okay to last for a while." He whispered.

Changxiao didn't make a sound, and he didn't have time to answer, because Qiongqi started another attack.

"It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant." Qiongqi smiled strangely excitedly.

Stimulated by the fresh unicorn blood, his attack became more and more violent, hitting the magic circle with all his might.

There was another loud bang, and the cave collapsed again, and the entire magic circle flickered like a broken light bulb.

Over there, Chang Xiao's state is extremely bad, the attack just now has exhausted most of his spiritual power, and now he is holding on with one breath.

He felt very uncomfortable, as if there was a fire burning in his body, and it was as if ten thousand ants were gnawing at his internal organs, and even breathing was painful.

He wanted to yell, roll, and even give himself a break, maybe it wouldn't be so painful after passing out.

But he knew he couldn't.

He has someone he wants to protect, and the pain of losing that person is far greater than the pain of suffering a thousand cuts.

"Mr. Dao, how are you? Is there something uncomfortable?"

The figures in front of him turned into two, four...innumerable figures, each with the same anxiety on their faces.He tried to distinguish the true from the false, but his eyes gradually became distracted.

Suddenly, he saw countless ferocious heads appearing behind countless Xuanchus.

He didn't know which was true and which was false.

He only knew that he would never let something happen to Xuan Chu.

"Roar!" He raised his head and screamed, his figure swelled to several times its original size.

He felt as if something had been broken inside him.

The author has something to say:

Changxiao: If Qilin doesn't show off his power, does he really think I'm a kitten?
