Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Earth Core Fruit
Lin Feng also noticed with a glance that the Earth Core Fruit growing on those roots revealed a trace of surprise, it wasn’t shocking per se, after all, his keen vision had seen such things before and wasn’t too surprised, it was just purely unexpected, especially since this place was dark and murky, and the Spiritual Energy was not abundant, growing a five-hundred-year-old Earth Core Fruit here was a very difficult task.
The most important thing was, there were no Demon Beasts?
Swish!
Just as Lin Feng was pondering, a pitch-black snake suddenly burst out from those roots, swallowing the youth who was about to pick the Earth Core Fruit in one bite.
Everyone was frightened by this sudden scene, retreating continuously.
"This, this Demon Beast was actually hiding among the roots!"
Everyone revealed a stunned expression, Yu Wen Tuo looked displeased, he had previously vowed that if there really was a Demon Beast, it most likely would be in the lake, but now what happened was literally a slap in his face.
"It’s a Tree Snake, its skin is very tough, if it stays still and hides among the roots, it is impossible to distinguish with the naked eye!"
A youth said.
Yu Wen Tuo glanced at the not-so-small Tree Snake and scoffed with disdain: "Just a Tree Snake, what harm can it do to me?"
With that, he struck out fiercely with a palm, instantly, an aquamarine Handprint formed and charged towards the Tree Snake.
That Tree Snake was a Fifth Rank Demon General, but it was instantly killed by the Handprint.
"Is this, is this the Prison Demon Palm of the Seventh Prince?"
"Nonsense, other than the Seventh Prince, who else have you seen possess such a powerful Six Stars Battle Technique!"
"My heavens, it’s actually a Six Stars Battle Technique, too terrifying, up till now I only possess a Four Stars Battle Skill!"
A group of people displayed immense admiration as they saw Yu Wen Tuo kill a Fifth Rank Demon General with one move.
"A mere Tree Snake dares to provoke this Prince!"
Yu Wen Tuo sneered and then said: "Who else will go, get that Earth Core Fruit for me!"
Everyone fell silent for a moment, glancing around, who knows if there’s a second Tree Snake, but the thought of even five-thousand Gold Pearls being enough for their expenses for a long time, another person directly rushed over, his gaze fixed on those roots, ready to retreat immediately if anything arose, however, along the way, all was calm, as if there was just that one Tree Snake in this place.
Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, grabbing the Earth Core Fruit in his palm, seemingly he himself hadn’t expected the process to be so smooth, he stood still for a while before bursting into laughter: "Seventh Prince, the five-thousand Gold Pearls are mine!"
As he spoke, he was about to run towards Yu Wen Tuo, but then he saw, including Yu Wen Tuo, everyone took a half step back again, with astonished expressions.
"Not good!"
This person was no fool, knowing that most likely another Demon Beast had appeared, immediately he instinctively ducked and bent down, this instinctual reaction saved his life, a thick black tail grazed past his scalp, smashing directly onto the rock wall, causing it to crack.
Only then did he have time to turn his head back for a look, this glance was shocking enough to nearly scare his soul out of his body, unknown when but a full twenty or more Tree Snakes had awakened from their slumber, each one flicking their tongue and staring at him, or more precisely, at the Earth Core Fruit in his hand, frightened, he promptly threw the fruit away, at times like these, saving his life was paramount, although five-thousand Gold Pearls were valuable, they were nothing compared to his life!
"Trash!"
Seeing the former frightened into throwing away the hard-to-reach Earth Core Fruit, Yu Wen Tuo burst into curses. If the fruit ends up in the mouths of these beasts, it would all be for naught!
"Everyone, get up there, whoever can snatch the Earth Core Fruit, this prince will reward him with 10,000!!"
If 5000 wasn’t enough to drive them mad, just add another 5000—such is the power of money, it can definitely provoke intense greed in everyone.
Sure enough, the people who were initially scared witless by the appearance of over twenty tree snakes now bore greedy looks on their faces.
"These tree snakes are just about Fifth Rank Demon Generals, and we have more than a dozen people here, we may very well be their match!"
Many people quickly livened up and instead of retreating, they charged toward the group of tree snakes.
The person who had previously panicked and dropped the Earth Core Fruit was filled with regret. That drop equated to a loss of 10,000 Gold Pearls. He looked at the tree snake, gritted his teeth, and once again turned to attack the tree snake.
Mountain-opening Fist!
Bang!
His punch landed on a tree snake that was about to open its huge mouth to swallow the Earth Core Fruit. Although his punch wasn’t enough to kill the tree snake instantly, it did send its huge body flying.
However, before he could feel happy, he was sent flying by the tail of another tree snake.
Lin Feng was observing this exciting spectacle from the side. This was indeed a great battle between humans and demons, with a dozen capable guys facing off with over twenty equally formidable tree snakes. It was hard to say who would be the victor.
Yu Wen Tuo did not take action. As a prince, he had his pride. Beside him, Huang Tie also did not make a move, as he was now his right-hand man.
With both of them not engaging, those dozen people really were no match for the tree snakes. Before long, casualties occurred. A young man was not careful enough and had his head smashed by a tree snake’s tail, instantly exploding into a headless corpse.
"Huang Tie, you go."
Yu Wen Tuo said.
Huang Tie nodded and patted his robust chest, "Don’t worry, Seventh Prince. I’ve been killing snakes since I was a kid. Snake meat tastes really good; I guarantee I’ll catch it for you easily!"
Huang Tie charged forward like a human-shaped behemoth, using his fist to blow up a tree snake that was going to swallow the Earth Core Fruit. His punch, vastly superior to others, was incredibly powerful. Not to mention his personal strength at the early stage of Sixth Layer as a martial master, but his Star was also a Seventh Grade Snowstorm Bear, stronger than Lin Panghu’s Powerful Vajra Bear, allowing his punch to reach a tremendous force of at least eighteen hundred pounds, far surpassing fighters of the same level.
The tree snake, although having better defense than ordinary demon snakes, couldn’t withstand such a punch.
"Haha, a bunch of beasts, who dares to stop me?"
Huang Tie roared with laughter. A tree snake tried to sneak attack him from behind, but he caught and squeezed its head so hard that he forcefully exploded it, leaving several onlookers dumbstruck.
"This, this guy is truly a monster!"
Everyone was filled with admiration; Huang Tie might seem simple-minded, but his methods were incredibly formidable.
Lin Feng frowned; this won’t do. Huang Tie’s strength was indeed commendable, and the main problem was that this man wasn’t afraid to die. While others were cautious and held back, Huang Tie went all out, exerting his full strength and then some, recklessly throwing himself into battle. If this continues, the Earth Core Fruit might really be snatched away.
