Liu Du hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiao, there is no mistake. Based on the information I obtained from the old Peach Tree, this place is indeed the growth site of the Energy Fruit Tree."
Liu Du did obtain the location of this Energy Fruit Tree from an old Peach Tree using the Earth Listening Technique. Unless the information was wrong, an Energy Fruit Tree would certainly grow here.
However, the look on Xiao Mu's face made Liu Du feel uneasy. He hurriedly asked, "Mr. Xiao, did you discover any problem?"
Xiao Mu shook his head slightly but didn't answer the question. Instead, he continued to stare at the endless thick fog.
The fog here was so thick that visibility was obstructed, and Xiao Mu couldn't see through to what lay within it.
Xiao Mu was a mutated being at the Peak of the Fourth Realm. His Daoist Law Cultivation had already stepped into the Tongxuan Realm. How could ordinary fog obstruct his vision?
This fog was obviously not ordinary. There might be some mysterious power behind it that caused the ordinary fog to change, giving it a remarkable ability to obstruct vision.
"Mr. Xiao, what should we do? Should we still go in?" Liu Du anxiously asked, full of worry, fearing that Xiao Mu would blame him.
After all, he was the one who found the growth site of this Energy Fruit Tree. If something were to go wrong, he feared that Xiao Mu might take his anger out on him.
But he was clearly overthinking. Xiao Mu would not lose his sense of judgement and blame people at random.
Unless Liu Du intentionally led Xiao Mu into danger.
After some thought, finally, Xiao Mu asked Liu Du seriously, "Are you really sure that this is the site where a large Energy Fruit Tree is growing?"
There could be huge danger hidden within the thick fog, and Xiao Mu was unwilling to step into it thoughtlessly.
It's not that he was afraid of dangers, but the risks must be proportional to the gains.
Liu Du said with a solemn expression, "Based on the information I received from the old Peach Tree, there are at least three or five Energy Fruit Trees in this valley."
"Three or more? Four? Five?"
Xiao Mu pondered and remained silent for a while.
To say nothing of four or five, even three Energy Fruit Trees would make this adventure worthwhile.
Finding Energy Fruit Trees was not easy. Even if Liu Du had the Earth Listening Technique, he was usually more likely to fail than not, with nine failures out of ten attempts.
A real growth site of an Energy Fruit Tree was not easy to find.
Finding a gathering place of Energy Fruit Trees was even more difficult.
Currently, Xiao Mu had 350 Energy Fruits. If he could get 50 more, he would have 400, and his power could be enhanced to Peak Perfection of the Tongxuan Realm.
Only with strength at Peak Perfection, would he qualify for the Opportunity for Ascension.
If there were indeed more than three Energy Fruit Trees within the valley, obtaining them would mean that Xiao Mu could gather all the Energy Fruits he needed at once.
Hearing that there were at least three Energy Fruit Trees in the valley, Xiao Mu was immediately intrigued.
He had to go in and take a look.
With evident unease, Liu Du whispered, "Mr. Xiao, I think we should leave this place."
"Why? Don't you have confidence in your judgement?"
Xiao Mu gave Liu Du a fleeting look.
How could Liu Du allow Xiao Mu to think that he lacked confidence in his abilities? That would certainly affect their future cooperation. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiao, you misunderstand. I am very confident in my abilities."
"However, if you think there is a problem with this valley, I recommend that we find another place."
Xiao Mu shook his head slightly, "No need."
Once he gave up this growth site, who knew how long it would take to find the next one?
The longer the delay, the more detrimental it would be to Xiao Mu.
Only by promptly enhancing his powers to Peak Perfection of the Tongxuan Realm, could he worry-free seek Energy Fruits.
Moreover, for some unknown reason, Xiao Mu had a vague sense of danger.
The feeling was incredibly strong, as if life would be in danger if he couldn't promptly breakthrough to the Peak Perfected Fourth Realm.
Even though he didn't know where this feeling came from, Xiao Mu, who had stepped into the Spirit Communication Realm in his Dao Method Spiritual Energy cultivation, did not doubt his own judgement.
"This..."
Hearing what Xiao Mu said, Liu Du felt he could not say more.
"Come with me."
Xiao Mu quietly commanded and set off towards the valley.
Almost subconsciously, Xiao Mu gathered his Dao Method Spiritual Energy, covering his body, keeping the fog out to prevent contact with his body before he felt safe entering the fog.
The fog stretched for at least three to four miles.
After traveling that distance, the fog gradually dissipated, revealing a unique hilly terrain.
The terrain here was rough with strange rocks scattered everywhere. They were exceedingly large, obstructing their pathways and making Xiao Mu, who was driving the Fire Dragon Vehicle, slow down.
"What is this?"
Xiao Mu's gaze focused and he carefully observed the terrain.
Soon, his expression changed.
There was Killing Intent!
This hilly terrain was pervaded with an almost imperceptible Killing Intent.
The Killing Intent was extremely dense but was obscured by some special Array, making it undetectable unless one observed closely.
This valley was actually an Array, and specifically, a Giant Killing Array.
The hilly terrain was the center of the Great Array.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A peculiar sound suddenly echoed all around, and numerous Sharp White Rays suddenly descended from the sky.
The White Rays numbered hundreds, like Sky Swords capable of pulverizing everything.
