Chapter 252: ancient city

After eating a Gemstone Fruit, Jiang Yaru and the others sat down cross-legged. Their faces were red, as if their bodies were being burned by flames. Only then did abundant energy flow through their bodies.

Not only did this energy instantly replenish the water and energy they had lost, it even brought with it a tremendous amount of true qi to temper their physiques. The benefits were endless.

Bang bang bang!!!

Immediately, Jiang Yaru and the others' auras surged, as if they had broken through a certain barrier. A powerful force surged out from their bodies, and the ground shook, creating a deep pit.

After some time, they all opened their eyes.

"First stage of the martial artist realm, I've finally advanced to First stage of the martial artist realm!"

Jiang Yaru was pleasantly surprised. She opened her beautiful eyes and clenched her fists. She felt a different power than before. She seemed to be more than two or three times stronger than before.

She was already at the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Martial Apprentice realm and had reached a bottleneck. Now that she ate a Gemstone Fruit, it has immediately helped her break through the bottleneck. It was extremely smooth.

"This is great; I've finally reached the martial artist realm."

It was the same for Chu Rong. She was pleasantly surprised. After coming to the ruins of Mad Sand, she encountered countless dangers.

There was no guarantee that she would survive if she was only at the ninth stage of the Martial Apprentice realm. Now that she had advanced to the Martial Artist Realm, she finally had some ability to protect herself and did not need to be afraid of being attacked by enemies.

"Congratulations."

Nangong Wu also smiled faintly. She had also obtained tremendous benefits. Although she did not break through to the second stage of the martial artist realm, she still reached the peak of the first stage. This saved her a year of cultivation time.

"Big Brother, thank you so much." "Thank you so much." Feng Hetang rushed over and hugged Xia Ping's thigh. He cried loudly, with tears and mucus streaming down his face.

He had been stuck in the Ninth Heaven stage of the Martial Student Realm for an unknown period of time. If not for this opportunity, he did not know when he would be able to break through. One could imagine how excited he was now.

It was better to have a strong backing. Any random treasure would be enough to benefit him greatly. Feng Hetang finally realized how important it was to have a good boss.

He made up his mind that he would never let go of such a powerful person.

"Get lost!"

Xia Ping kicked him away.

Feng Hetang hurriedly stood up and said obsequiously, "Big Brother, if I were a woman, I would definitely pester you and marry you no matter what." Of course, if I were a woman, I might be a little too heavy. I hope you don't mind."

"After all, I'm a ton, and I've got a big a.s.s." "It's easy to get pregnant."

The corners of Jiang Yaru and the others' mouths twitched. They looked at this d.a.m.n fatty speechlessly. This guy's skin was extremely thick. He was probably even more powerful than a chopping board.

"If I were to really marry a woman like you, I reckon that not only would I have a large body, but my taste would also be quite great." "Looking at this fatty," Xia Ping said in an unpleasant tone.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly looked into the distance with a serious expression.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yaru immediately sensed that something was wrong with Xia Ping.

Xia Ping frowned. "This is bad." There are monsters heading this way. "There are a lot of them." He could smell the scent of monsters coming from afar. Even though they were a few kilometers away, he could feel the danger.

"What's going on?" "Didn't you say it's safer here?" Chu Rong was surprised.

Nangong Wu's eyes flashed. She suddenly thought of something and said, "They should be attracted by the Gemstone Fruits. We ate so many Gemstone Fruits and emitted a scent in the air. "It is probably because of this that countless monsters went crazy."

"Run!"

Without another word, Xia Ping grabbed two Gemstone Fruits and immediately ran towards the southwest direction. Each of them had eaten one, so there were about ten left. It just so happened that each of them had two.

When Jiang Yaru, Chu Rong, Nangong Wu, and Feng Hetang saw this, they also grabbed two Gemstone Fruits and ran away. To martial artists, these two Gemstone Fruits were not considered very heavy and completely not a burden.

Just as they were about to leave, a buzzing sound could be heard from afar. It was bees. The dense swarm of bees was like a dark cloud that covered the sky as it flew over.

"Dammit! That's the Poisonous Forest bees! Once they catch up to us, it'll be the same as being caught by the Desert Poisonous Scorpions. "We'll definitely die!" Chu Rong jumped in fright when she saw the bees.

These forest poison bees were even more terrifying than the Desert Poisonous Scorpions because these Forest Poisonous bees could fly. Their speed was incomparably fast, making them simply impossible to guard against.

Bang bang bang!!!

In the depths of the forest, the ground shook and large trees collapsed one after another, causing the earth to shake and the mountains to shake. Huge black bears ran out one after another, their bodies the size of small mountains, their eyes were red, and their entire bodies emitted a fierce aura.

They were like tanks that crushed everything in their path. Anything that stood in their way would be crushed. Trees collapsed one after another, rocks shattered one after another, creating huge paths.

"This is the Black Armored Berserk Bear."

Feng Hetang's eyes turned green as he watched. He ran for his life and said, "This is the overlord of the forest!" A black bear like this is enough to destroy a city. Even missiles wouldn't be able to kill it. "Its defensive power is off the charts, and it's extremely strong."

Other than that, there were blood-colored demon wolves, black spiders, and red ants. These creatures seemed to have been attracted by the fragrance of the gemstone fruit. They appeared from the depths of the forest and chased after Xia Ping and the others.

To these creatures, the Gemstone Fruits were an opportunity for them to evolve. As long as they could eat one, they would become even stronger. There was no creature that would not go crazy.

"Run; don't look back!" Xia Ping shouted. Faced with the pursuit of so many monsters, he was a bit frightened. If he was not careful, he would be eaten by these monsters and become their food.

"Alright." Jiang Yaru and the others all used their full speed, not daring to stop at all.

Fortunately, they had just advanced to the martial artist realm, and their strength had greatly increased. Their stamina had recovered, and their speed had increased. Otherwise, these creatures would have caught up to them in a few breaths.

After running for an hour, they quickly escaped with Xia Ping and rushed out of the desert oasis. This place seemed to be another corner of the desert oasis, and there were no desert scorpions surrounding it.

"Look, there's an ancient city ahead." Jiang Yaru immediately pointed ahead.

A huge city appeared near the desert oasis. A towering city wall surrounded the area. It was tens of meters tall and stretched for an unknown distance. This city suddenly appeared in the desert area.

However, this city seemed to be extremely shabby, with ruined walls everywhere and sand and dust surging. It was unknown just how many years it had been since someone came, even with the city gates disappearing.

"Go in!"

Xia Ping shouted.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

Jiang Yaru and the others did not stop. They ran madly into the city.

On the other hand, the monsters in the oasis stopped in their tracks and stopped at the edge of the city, not daring to chase after them. Even the poisonous bees in the forest buzzed and flew around the city.
