After the secondary occupation reached the maximum level, I wore it

Sure enough, as if sensing everyone's covetous eyes on the dragon bamboo fruit, the swamp ground not far from the dragon bamboo grass slowly arched upward, and the rotten mud flowed to both sides. A poisonous clam that was more than ten feet tall emerged from under the sticky mud.

Its skin was a mixture of emerald green, purple and black, and it emitted a foul odor. Its fist-sized eyes were embedded in its rough, pockmarked skin, and it stared motionlessly at the monks outside the swamp.

The appearance of this poisonous clam made people feel a sense of pressure. Everyone looked at it sideways and was secretly frightened.

They each had their own thoughts and stared at the poisonous clam in silence, glancing at Xie Cheng from time to time, intending to hear what arrangements the employer had made.

At this moment, a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining in the team suddenly stood up and rushed towards the Dragon Bamboo Grass.

He was extremely fast, using rather mysterious body movements, and in the blink of an eye he had covered a distance of several feet. His toes touched the surface of the swamp, and the sticky and slippery mud beneath his feet did not seem to hinder him at all.

Everyone was shocked by this sudden change and shouted angrily: "He wants to eat the dragon bamboo fruit alone!"

Shi Yu narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on him.

She remembered that this cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining had performed rather mediocrely in the team and had never shown any prowess in physical skills. It was obvious that he had been hiding his abilities and holding back.

The monk gritted his teeth, his heart beating wildly in his chest: "Pull up the fruits and run to the other side of the swamp immediately to avoid being caught up by Xie Cheng and others."

His cultivation had been stuck at the fifth level of Qi Refining for a long time. When he saw this bunch of dragon bamboo fruits, he immediately wanted to eat them all for himself.

This is also due to his excellent physical skills. Just looking at the speed when he bursts out, no one in the team can compare with him.

The only problem was the poison clam guarding the dragon bamboo grass. He looked at the huge body of the poison clam and thought that this big guy was clumsy and slow. He just needed to be careful to avoid it, pick the fruit quickly and run away. There would be no problem.

However, at this moment, the poisonous clam jumped up in front of him, its huge body casting a large shadow, and then its curled tongue quickly shot out, like a whip, quickly and accurately grabbing the rushing monk.

The timing and speed were so perfect that it seemed as if the monk had rushed forward on his own initiative.

A scream was heard, and the poisonous clam retracted its tongue, swallowed its prey, and croaked in satisfaction.

On this side of the swamp, before the monks could express their anger at the other party's desire to eat the dragon bamboo fruit alone, they gasped and looked at each other in shock at this sudden change.

Several other monks who were originally eager to take it for themselves also immediately gave up the idea.

Shi Yu was a little surprised. The poisonous clam guarding the dragon bamboo fruit looked heavy and huge, but its speed was unexpectedly fast. Under the attack of its thick and elastic tongue, people had no power to resist at all.

Someone said in a deep voice: "It seems that we must get rid of this poisonous clam first before we can go to pick the dragon bamboo fruit. It is absolutely impossible to rely on speed to bypass and pick it."

Shi Yu's nose twitched slightly, his eyes fell on the dragon bamboo fruit, and he thought to himself: "The fruit is about to ripen."

At this time, the color of the dragon bamboo fruit becomes more and more vivid. You can see with the naked eye that the color of the fruit is changing from light red to dark red, and a long and refreshing fragrance gradually emerges.

The poisonous clam also became more cautious, its fist-sized green eyes staring at the people outside the swamp motionlessly.

The three brothers Wu Hao, who had the highest cultivation level except Xie Cheng, spoke one after another: "The dragon bamboo fruit is about to mature, we can't delay."

"The fruit fragrance is coming out. Judging from this, the dragon bamboo fruit will be fully ripe in a quarter of an hour at most. The poisonous clam will swallow it when the fruit fragrance is the strongest and the medicinal properties are the best."

Although it was meant to be a reminder or urging, the three of them looked vaguely towards Xie Cheng.

Everyone was eager to make a move, and they didn't want to watch the dragon bamboo fruit being swallowed by this stupid and ugly beast.

But with so many people present, how could they act easily before discussing the distribution plan?

Someone couldn't hold back and urged, "What do you mean?"

Xie Cheng intended to pick the dragon bamboo fruit and leave it for Xie Zhixun to use in the future. After pondering for a moment, he raised his head and said to everyone: "Everyone, although the dragon bamboo fruit can directly improve your cultivation, you need to take multiple pieces to see the effect."

"There are only a dozen fruits on this dragon bamboo grass. Even if we share them, each person can only get one or two at most. The spiritual energy it can enhance is really limited, but it's better than nothing."

"How about I take it and compensate you with the spirit stones?"

What Xie Cheng said made sense. There were more than a dozen fruits, and it was indeed impossible to divide them among more than 20 people.

The strength of this poisonous clam should not be underestimated. He is the strongest among the people present and has a better chance of dealing with it.

Since he was the employer, even if he kept the money to himself and said nothing, no one else could do anything to him. For now, it was good enough for him to get some spirit stones.

Shi Yu's target was not the dragon bamboo fruit, and he did not speak out to participate in the discussion about the ownership of the dragon bamboo fruit. He just looked like he was following the crowd.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Xie Cheng nodded slightly, clasped his fists and said, "Then please help me kill this poisonous clam."

Under Xie Cheng's arrangement, several people including Shi Yu stayed outside the swamp to protect Xie Zhixun. The rest of the people divided into three groups to cast spells to harass and restrain the poisonous clam. Xie Cheng and the three brothers Wu Hao, who had the highest cultivation level, looked for an opportunity to kill the poisonous clam.

At once, spells of various colored lights lit up, falling on the poisonous clam one after another. At the same time, dozens of magical instruments were activated, making clanging sounds as they fell on the poisonous clam.

A large amount of highly toxic mucus accumulated on the surface of the poisonous clam's skin. The magic weapons used by the poor cultivators were so tattered that when they hit the poisonous clam, not only did they not cause any damage to it, their own magic weapons were also corroded, making a hissing sound and emitting bursts of white mist. The precious light on the magic weapons dimmed.

Several casual cultivators immediately took back their magic weapons with great pain, regretting their actions deeply and acting perfunctorily.

Fortunately, there were many people and the poisonous clam could not cope with the siege and gradually showed signs of fatigue.

Shi Yu was standing beside Xie Zhixun, watching the fate of the poisonous clam, and pondering how to pick the dragon bamboo grass without making any noise.

The dragon bamboo fruit was about to ripen, and the poisonous clam became so frenzied that it almost lost its mind. It ignored the attacks on its body and chased after Xie Cheng and the others.

After suffering a fatal blow from Xie Cheng's concentrated energy, the poisonous clam opened its blood-red eyes, roared, and its skin and flesh were torn apart, and its blood and flesh disintegrated like melting snow.

And with its roar, the sticky and slippery mud in the swamp rolled over and kept surging and gathering.

Shi Yu frowned as he saw something squirming under the mud. Countless snakes and insects crawled out of it, tangled into balls, and spread out.

And it has summoning skills?

The poisonous clam still had some strength left before it died. Xie Cheng struggled with it and shouted to Shi Yu anxiously, "Little Taoist friend, protect my young master! You will be rewarded handsomely!"

Shi Yu said "hmm" and pulled Xie Zhixun back. Fortunately, he knew to be good at this time and staggered after Shi Yu.

The cultivation levels of these snakes and insects were not high, but their numbers were too large. Everyone was in a panic trying to deal with them, and they were entangled and surrounded one by one.

Shi Yu and the other person were also surrounded, but she didn't panic. She threw down two fire talismans and burned away a large area, clearing a large space. The others also gradually calmed down from the panic and used their own methods to deal with these snakes and insects.

When the cleanup was almost done, Shi Yu suddenly heard Xie Cheng screaming in pain, and when he looked up, he saw him piercing through the poison clam's mouth with a sword, killing the clam. But the clam's tongue was tightly wrapped around his arm at the same time, and the barbs on its tongue pierced deeply into his flesh, causing blood to gush out instantly, and the dark red blood overflowed.

Wu Hao quickly cut off the poison clam's tongue with a sword, looking a little nervous: "Brother Xie, you are poisoned!"

Xie Cheng waved his hand, took out a detoxification pill from the mustard bag, and after adjusting his breathing and feeling it for a while, he said: "It's okay, take the detoxification pill, and you will recover in one night."

Wu Hao nodded thoughtfully.

The poisonous clam was dead, and the dragon bamboo fruit was finally fully ripe, and its color had turned deep red. Xie Cheng quickly picked it and carefully put it into the jade box.

Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had only picked the fruits as he had expected, and did not touch the dragon bamboo grass itself.

In this way, you just need to find an opportunity to come back and pick the magical herbs when no one is around.
