Chapter 1408

At this moment, in Cai Zhuoxia's heart, Xiao Hua was no longer a first layer Aura Refining cultivator, nor was he a low-level disciple whom she wanted to repay with some kindness. Instead, he was a mysterious cultivator whose cultivation level … was a bit higher than hers, and who also had endless strength!

This was a fact that Cai Zhuoxia was unwilling to admit, but she had no choice but to face!

Therefore, when Cai Zhuoxia saw Xiao Hua while being chased by the Leopard Dragonfly, she immediately wanted to fly towards him!

However, when Xiao Hua saw this, he slightly frowned …

Seeing Xiao Hua's strange expression, Cai Zhuoxia was also bewildered, but she immediately realized that although the Leopard Dragonfly was the guardian spirit beast of the Mother-Child Spirit Fruit, it was only a first rank spirit beast after all. Its strength was only comparable to a fifth layer Aura Refining cultivator. Her current cultivation level was also at the peak of the fifth layer Aura Refining realm, so she should be able to fight against the Leopard Dragonfly. If she lured the Leopard Dragonfly to Xiao Hua as soon as she met him, wouldn't she … not be of any use in this process of finding the Mother-Child Spirit Fruit?

Since she couldn't be of any use, what qualifications did she have to obtain more Mother-Child Spirit Fruits?

After thinking it through, Cai Zhuoxia's expression turned cold. She clenched her teeth, turned around, and lured the Leopard Dragonfly to another place. While Cai Zhuoxia was hesitating, the Leopard Dragonfly had already caught up. Its wings buzzed and flashed, and its dragonfly tail, which was like a wooden stick, suddenly danced rapidly. Then, the head of the Leopard Dragonfly suddenly stretched forward, and a sharp, long icicle pierced towards Cai Zhuoxia's back with lightning speed!

Cai Zhuoxia had just turned around when the icicle pierced towards her. Greatly shocked, Cai Zhuoxia hurriedly twisted her body and did her best to dodge, but the icicle was too fast. With a flash of brilliance on Cai Zhuoxia's back, the Iron Cloak Talisman she had previously put on was pierced by the icicle. Moreover, the icicle's momentum wasn't over yet, and it stabbed diagonally into Cai Zhuoxia's Daoist robe and into her back.

Fortunately, Cai Zhuoxia reacted quickly and dodged, so the icicle didn't pierce her vital points and only stabbed diagonally into her back and shoulder!

While Cai Zhuoxia was in pain, she took out the Fireball Talisman in her hand and threw it without hesitation …

However, something shocking happened. The Leopard Dragonfly didn't seem to panic as the fireball grew larger and larger. It waved its tail rapidly, and a snow-like spiritual energy flew toward the fireball to cover it!

"Rumble!" The Fireball Talisman exploded, but it was blocked by the spiritual energy of ice and snow. The Leopard Dragonfly was not injured in the slightest!

However, Cai Zhuoxia took advantage of this opportunity to escape far away!

Xiao Hua saw that Cai Zhuoxia had lured the Leopard Dragonfly away, and he understood in his heart. With a wave of his hand, he took out the puppet again and had it continue to dig out the Mother-Child Spirit Fruits. Then, he concealed himself and directly flew towards where Cai Zhuoxia had come from!

Not long after, Xiao Hua's nose smelled a whiff of frankincense. Looking over, there was a dazzling golden object about ten zhang away. It was a ripe Mother-Child Spirit Fruit!

When Xiao Hua flew closer, he unconsciously narrowed his eyes. This ripe Mother-Child Spirit Fruit was different from the unripe ones he had seen before. This Mother-Child Spirit Fruit no longer looked like a gourd from its outer appearance. The top of the gourd had already shrunk a lot and gradually condensed into a sphere, similar to the shape of a human head. The bottom of the gourd was even larger, like the belly of a full month pregnant. At this time, the entire body of the Mother-Child Spirit Fruit was entwined with golden fine lines. They looked like runes, but they weren't runes, emitting a faint brilliance.

"This …" Xiao Hua's brows furrowed even tighter. When he learned that Cai Zhuoxia had obtained this Mother-Child Spirit Fruit from Qing Fengmin's storage pouch, he was somewhat puzzled. This thing was only the main ingredient of the Cultivation World's Embryonic Breathing Pill. It had nothing to do with the Devil World, so what did Qing Fengmin want it for?

Of course, Xiao Hua also suspected that Qing Fengmin had obtained it from other cultivators.

But looking at this Mother-Child Spirit Fruit that looked like a pregnant woman, and then thinking about Qing Fengmin's Blood Shadow's appearance, Xiao Hua felt that there must be some connection.

"En, fortunately, that evil Blood Shadow has already been destroyed by Li Zongbao. This place … if it was Qing Fengmin's doing, I won't have any more doubts!" Xiao Hua thought to himself.

Then, Xiao Hua didn't recklessly pick the Mother-Child Spirit Fruit. Instead, he carefully sized up his surroundings. When he felt that there wasn't anything abnormal, he pinched his hand and urged his magic power, wanting to pick the Mother-Child Spirit Fruit. But when the magic seal touched the Mother-Child Spirit Fruit, the Mother-Child Spirit Fruit flashed with brilliance and actually blocked Xiao Hua's magic seal to the side!

"Ouch!"

Xiao Hua was startled in his heart. Not good. Sure enough, just as Xiao Hua was startled, a ripple of brilliance appeared at the location of the vines in the air. Immediately after, a ball of slightly jet-black brilliance formed a sphere and struck down at the location of the Mother-Child Spirit Fruit!

And the leopard dragonfly chasing Cai Zhuoxia was also alarmed by the abnormal movement in the space. It abandoned Cai Zhuoxia and turned around to fly back!

"Hehehehe!" When Xiao Hua saw the jet-black brilliance, his heart calmed down. With a wave of his hand, the demonic spear came out. Then, his figure suddenly flew up, and a move of the Heavenly Staff Technique directly hit that jet-black brilliance!

It was also strange. That brilliance seemed to be invisible, but under the demonic spear and under Xiao Hua's ingenious staff technique, it actually hit the jet-black brilliance. That brilliance quickly flashed a few times and then disappeared!

"Roar!!" In the distance, there was the angry roar of a cheetah!

"Ah?" Xiao Hua was stunned. "How can there be cheetahs in this space?"

But immediately, Xiao Hua understood that this was probably the leopard dragonfly's roar!

Therefore, Xiao Hua didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He put away the demonic spear and took out the demonic spear tip. Gathering all the strength in his body, he stabbed at the lower part of the Mother-Child Spirit Fruit. "Kacha!" Like glass shattering, the brilliance was annihilated. The restriction around the Mother-Child Spirit Fruit was indeed broken by Xiao Hua. At the same time, a large ripple of brilliance above the space was brewing an even greater attack!

Xiao Hua's expression didn't change. He casually cast a spell and plucked that pale golden Mother-Child Spirit Fruit, calmly putting it into his storage bag. As for the stem below the Mother-Child Spirit Fruit, it immediately shrank rapidly and soon disappeared!

"Roar!" There was another angry roar of the leopard dragonfly. At this time, it was already within a hundred feet.

Xiao Hua's lips curled into a faint smile. His figure leisurely floated up and flew towards the leopard dragonfly …

The leopard dragonfly fiercely flapped its wings. Every time it flashed, a roar would come from its wings. Seeing that Xiao Hua was actually coming head-on, the leopard dragonfly stretched out its head and shot out icicles at lightning speed!

Why would Xiao Hua fight with it?

Seeing the icicles flying towards him, he quickly dodged them and flew towards the puppet. In this short period of time, the puppet had dug out more than ten Mother-Child Spirit Fruits. Xiao Hua passed by these Mother-Child Spirit Fruits, and with a wave of his hand, he kept them together with the puppet into the space. Then, with a loud laugh, he flew towards the entrance of the space without consulting anyone!

Before he could fly to the entrance, he saw Cai Zhuoxia flying up with a joyful expression. "Let's go, Fellow Daoist Cai!" Xiao Hua didn't beat around the bush and waved his hand with a smile.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Xiao!" Cai Zhuoxia laughed softly and also turned to follow Xiao Hua.

"Roar roar!"

The leopard dragonfly behind them kept roaring. Unfortunately, in this several hundred feet space, Xiao Hua's flying speed was really too fast. It simply couldn't catch up. When it flew to the entrance of the cave, Xiao Hua and Cai Zhuoxia's figures had already disappeared inside the cave!

Looking at the pitch-black cave, the leopard dragonfly didn't dare to go forward. It could only flap its wings and hover up and down!

At this time, there was a faint scent of milk in the space, and it immediately disappeared. The leopard dragonfly seemed to have calmed down. It turned around and flew towards a corner of the space. In that corner, a Mother-Child Spirit Fruit appeared to have a faint golden color …

Several days later, on the foothills of a mountain covered with green cypresses and pine trees, Xiao Hua and Cai Zhuoxia stood on top of a pine tree. Their expressions were relaxed. Cai Zhuoxia smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, we have been rushing for several days. This place is already far away from the Weimeng Mountain Range. It can be considered safe. We can finally relax!"

Xiao Hua turned his head and looked behind him. He said with some lingering fear, "Of course … I didn't expect that the periphery of the Weimeng Mountain Range also had powerful spirit beasts. They actually flew so fast. If it wasn't for our vigilance and immediately escaping after coming out of the cave, we might really have been buried in the Weimeng Mountain Range!"

Cai Zhuoxia's face was also a little panicked. She nodded and said, "The leopard dragonfly inside the cave couldn't be dealt with. Who would have thought that there was actually a Firecloud Sparrow hiding above the stone wall?

If Fellow Daoist Xiao's flying speed wasn't fast, I'm afraid … I would have already lost my life! "

"Let's not talk about this anymore!

Since we have already escaped, those things are already in the past! "

Xiao Hua waved his hand. He clapped his hand and took out a jade box. He handed it over to Cai Zhuoxia and said, "This is the Mother-Child Spirit Fruit. Fellow Daoist Cai, please keep it first!"

"This …" Looking at the Mother-Child Spirit Fruit in front of her, Cai Zhuoxia really didn't dare to believe her eyes. She immediately pushed it back and said, "This Mother-Child Spirit Fruit was picked by Fellow Daoist Xiao. Moreover, I was very clear about the process. Other than the location of this stone wall being provided by I, everything else was all thanks to Fellow Daoist."

"Moreover, the location of this stone wall was also recorded in the things that Fellow Daoist Xiao gave I. Indirectly, it is also Fellow Daoist Xiao's …" Cai Zhuoxia pursed her lips and said with a bitter smile, "I really didn't contribute anything. How can I take this Mother-Child Spirit Fruit?"

Seeing Xiao Hua frown, Cai Zhuoxia said again, "Moreover, this thing … without Yan Liwei's recommendation, we still don't know how to find someone to refine the Embryonic Breathing Pill. Temporarily leaving it with I … I'm afraid it's not safe. Fellow Daoist Xiao, please take it. Let's talk about it again after I think of a way to find someone to refine the pill!"

"So it's like this!"

Xiao Hua thought about it and also agreed. He also didn't hold back and put the Mother-Child Spirit Fruit into his space. Soon after, he said, "I actually have a way!"
