Chapter 20: Ambush in the Dark

The Qin family's spirit orchard is not too big, covering an area of ​​more than ten acres and planting seven or eight kinds of spirit fruit trees.

Although most of the spirit fruits are not yet ripe, Qin Feng still smelled an alluring fruit aroma after he came in.

However, in addition to the 30% of these spiritual fruits that need to be turned over to the sect, most of the rest will be sold by the family, in exchange for other spiritual items to subsidize the family, so the Qin family cultivator can share not many spiritual fruits every year.

And this year, I am afraid there will be less.

Because the spirit toad came out of nowhere, and actually swallowed a lot of spirit fruit. If it is not solved, I am afraid that this year's spirit fruit will not have any harvest.

If it is an ordinary spirit toad, it will be fine, even a few more monsters are nothing, but this spirit toad's food intake is too amazing. It looks small, but it can easily swallow more than a hundred times its weight. food.

With the arrival of Qin Long and the others, five or six family monks who had been guarding the orchard carefully came over.

They are all wise planters who are responsible for taking care of the orchard.

Relatively speaking, the spirit fruit tree is more difficult to serve than ordinary spirit grains, and of course, the value is higher, so the income of the few of them in the spirit orchard is more than that of other ordinary clansmen in the family.

It's just that this year's Lingguo went wrong, and their income will definitely decrease, so these monks also looked anxious. When they saw the fifth elder brought Qin Long, they immediately gathered around to ask about the situation.

"Look, those spirit fruit trees that matured earlier were swallowed up by that spirit toad in less than two days."

The fifth elder led Qin Long and his son to the depths of the orchard, and pointed at the few spirit fruit trees in the garden and said angrily.

When Qin Feng looked in the direction pointed by the five elders, he saw that there were only a few green spirit fruits left on the few spirit fruit trees that were supposed to be fruitful, and he felt distressed.

In just two days, that stinky toad actually devoured so many spiritual fruits. This is to cut off the fortune of the Qin family!

After passing the family assessment at the end of the year, he will be sent to the Imperial Beast Sect. At that time, he will need the help of the family to provide some cultivation resources. If this year's spiritual fruit is not harvested and there are not enough spiritual stones, I am afraid he will enter the sect. After joining the Imperial Beast Sect, he could not get much support from the family.

Therefore, this toad is not only robbing the spiritual fruit of the family, but also robbing its own cultivation resources.

Tolerable or unbearable!

Originally, he still had the idea of ​​coming to see the spirit beast for a long time, but now he dismissed the original idea, and he just wanted to get rid of the spirit beast as soon as possible.

Most people are like this. When they have nothing to do with themselves, they always treat things with a kind of heart that is not too big of a problem.

And once self-interest is involved, it's a different matter.

Undoubtedly, the behavior of that spirit toad stealing the spirit fruit has violated Qin Feng's interests.

So with anger in his eyes, he glanced around the orchard, but he didn't find the slightest abnormality.

Qin Long looked at the few spirit fruit trees that had been swallowed up, and frowned, "Is it eaten so much?"

"Isn't that right? If it continues like this, the family will probably have to save some resources from elsewhere in order to gather the spiritual items for the Beast-Fighting Sect."

The fifth elder said helplessly: "I don't know where the beast broke the restriction and got in. I checked it myself, and I didn't find any trace of the restriction being broken."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Qin Long was a little surprised: "It's possible to sneak in without breaking the ban. Could it be some special spirit beast?"

Although the prohibition of this spirit orchard is not very clever, it is still no problem to defend against ordinary monsters. I didn’t expect that monsters can sneak in quietly.

Nine times out of ten, there should be some peculiar bloodline magical powers, otherwise it will be difficult to do so.

With this guess, Qin Long's interest suddenly increased, and he stretched out his hand to make a trick. A flash of light flashed in his eyes. After investigating for a while, he found no trace of the monster, so he reached out and grabbed it in the air, sending it to his nose and sniffing.

"Well, there is indeed a demon here."

As he spoke, seeing his son looking at him curiously, Qin Long smiled and said, "This is the wind-sniffing technique, which was researched by the seniors of my beast-fighting sect, and is specially used to search for demonic energy. I can't teach you either.

However, this spell is one of the most popular spells in the Imperial Beast Sect. You will naturally learn it after you become a disciple of the Imperial Beast Sect. "

Qin Feng nodded when he heard the words, and his heart was even more eager to worship the Royal Beast Sect.

Qin Long's nose sniffed a few times from time to time, followed the direction of the demon's departure, and gradually came to the Lingjing in the Lingguoyuan.

The probe glanced into the well, but found no trace of the spirit toad.

He reached out his hand to release the blue-eyed snake in the spirit beast bag, and planned to send the blue-eyed snake to investigate.

The blue-eyed snake is also a monster that is proficient in water, and can move freely in the water, which is why the old patriarch asked the fifth elder to come to Qin Long for help.

However, Qin Long soon stopped and did not summon the blue-eyed snake.

If the spirit toad sensed the aura of the blue-eyed spirit snake and hid, he might not be able to find the other party.

And if you can't solve this trouble at one time, it will make the spirit toad have a heart of defense, and it will definitely be more difficult to catch in the future.

He can't guard the spirit orchard here every day, so what if the spirit toad secretly devours the spirit fruit?

Qin Long turned his head and asked the fifth elder, "Uncle Fifth, is there a rule for the spirit toad to steal the spirit fruit?"

The fifth elder thought about it and said, "That spirit toad usually comes out to eat in the afternoon when there are few people, or at night when no one is there."

"That's it!"

Qin Long looked at the sun that had just started to slant west, so he said, "Then trouble Fifth Uncle to ask everyone to leave the Spirit Orchard first. I'm guarding it in the dark, but I want to see what the monster's ability is, and it dares to stay there. Our Qin family's spirit orchard is nostalgic."

"Then be careful, try not to hurt the spirit fruit tree when fighting. These are all cultivated by the family for many years and have finally grown into what they are now."

The fifth elder pointed at the few extra tall spirit fruit trees in the garden with some distress, and exhorted, "Especially these few trees are hundreds of years old, and the spirit fruit they bear only matures once every ten years. You must protect yourself!"

"Five uncles, don't worry, I know."

Qin Long nodded and smiled comfortingly.

Seeing his promise, the fifth elder didn't say anything, and withdrew with a few clansmen in the garden.

Qin Feng didn't leave. He came here to open his eyes with his father. Of course, he refused to retreat before seeing the monster.

Besides, his strength is low, as long as he is farther away, he is not afraid to startle the spirit toad.

As for Qin Long, it should be no problem to hide from that spirit toad with his dao practice.

After all, that spirit toad is not strong, otherwise, it would not care about the few spirit planting husbands in the garden.
