“Senior Kuang, are these Zhuhong fruits?”

...

Yu Doushan hid in the bushes, looking at a large tree about a hundred meters away. There were three red fruits hanging on it. Most of the surface of the fruits had turned red, with only a hint of green remaining in the corners.

“Yes, they are Zhuhong fruits. They haven’t fully ripened yet, so their effectiveness will be reduced. But for us warriors, if we swallow them directly, they will greatly benefit our cultivation.”

Kuang Dingbo licked his lips as he looked at the enticing red color of the Zhuhong fruits. His cultivation had broken through a bottleneck a month ago, and he had just entered the Visceral Tempering realm.

Whether it was cultivation or techniques, there was a clear gap between him and those peak Visceral Tempering realm warriors.

Kuang Dingbo came to this secret realm with the hope of obtaining five jade tokens and completing the true transmission trial. If that was not possible, then improving his cultivation would be the main goal.

The secret realm was filled with numerous medicinal and mystical ingredients, especially those that could enhance one’s mental power, which were highly sought after by all warriors.

As a second option, there were mystical ingredients that could directly enhance one’s cultivation. If he could consume these three Zhuhong fruits, Kuang Dingbo could directly advance his cultivation by one step, reaching the mid-stage of the Visceral Tempering realm.

By then, he would have a greater chance of competing for other mystical ingredients or even obtaining the jade tokens.

However, within the secret realm, every mystical ingredient was guarded by a monster. The monsters guarded the materials to devour them for themselves. After all, these mystical ingredients were beneficial to warriors and would certainly have a similar effect on the monsters.

At this moment, a giant python was coiled on the tree with the Zhuhong fruits.

The python’s body was over a meter wide at its thickest point, and its exact length couldn’t be determined as it was coiled up, but it was undoubtedly a massive creature. The aura emanating from it was at the peak of the first stage, invincible against anyone below the peak of the Visceral Tempering realm.

Even in a real battle, an ordinary warrior at the peak of the Visceral Tempering realm might not be able to defeat this snake monster. After all, snakes were known for their vitality.

The Zhuhong fruits had obviously caught the attention of this monster. The biggest problem now was how to lure the monster away from the fruits.

“Senior Kuang, it seems that someone else has arrived.”

Yu Doushan suddenly whispered. Kuang Dingbo’s expression twitched, and he looked towards the right side, where he saw a disciple of the Big Dipper Tower. After a quick glance, Kuang Dingbo stopped paying attention.

It was just a warrior at the Marrow Tempering realm. It wasn’t just the three of them who had their eyes on these Zhuhong fruits; there were others in different locations as well. Kuang Dingbo had sensed their presence faintly.

Everyone was currently restraining themselves because they had no means to deal with the powerful python. Unless someone was willing to sacrifice themselves and actively lure the snake away, charging in would mean certain death.

A mile away, Chen Fei stood up and patted his clothes. In his hand was another herb, a thirty-year-old one. It had no relation to mystical ingredients, but it was still a valuable medicinal plant.

This kind of herb could be processed a little and taken directly. Although its effects were not as good as refined pills, during special times, it couldn’t be handled any better.

Originally, Chen Fei had thought of bringing a pill furnace with him, but the furnace was too large and took up too much space. After much consideration, Chen Fei decided to abandon that idea.

Including the herbs in his backpack, Chen Fei had collected over a dozen medicinal plants along the way. The ones he picked were all at least ten years old.

Later, in a secluded place, Chen Fei could use some special methods to refine these medicinal plants quickly.

Compared to the herbs of the same age outside, the herbs grown in the secret realm contained abundant vitality. After consuming them, the benefits to cultivation were more obvious.

Chen Fei glanced at the dense forest in front of him and considered whether to bypass it when suddenly a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

Chen Fei’s expression changed subtly. This medicinal fragrance felt different from ordinary herbs. Chen Fei could even feel a slight tremor in his blood and internal energy.

“Mystical ingredients?”

Chen Fei speculated in his heart. Only mystical ingredients could produce such effects.

Compared to the ordinary herbs he had just picked, mystical ingredients were unique. They had to grow in places with abundant spiritual energy and could be directly consumed without refinement, promoting one’s cultivation.

Chen Fei hesitated for a moment and cautiously stepped into the dense forest. Since he encountered mystical ingredients, it would be unreasonable not to take a look and see if there was an opportunity.

Chen Fei proceeded carefully, and the scent in the air became increasingly rich. However, as he moved forward, the sounds of birds, animals, and insects around him grew quieter until they completely disappeared.

Finally, Chen Fei saw a large tree ahead, and beneath it was a massive python. Even though they were separated by hundreds of meters, Chen Fei could still feel the impact emanating from the snake.

“A peak first-order monster!”

Chen Fei’s footsteps became slower. He noticed the ripe Zhuhong fruits. These were spiritual fruits that could directly enhance his cultivation.

When fully ripe, consuming them would yield the best results. However, if they reached that stage, the monster would have probably already devoured them.

Thus, the best opportunity was when the fruits were still unripe.

Chen Fei sensed his surroundings and discovered several hidden auras. It was evident that there were many others eyeing these three Zhuhong fruits. However, they hesitated because of the formidable snake and didn’t dare to act rashly.

“Senior Kuang, another person is coming from over there,” Yu Doushan whispered to Kuang Dingbo.

Kuang Dingbo glanced over and saw another Marrow Tempering realm warrior. He sneered mockingly. There were already several warriors at the Marrow Tempering realm present; they really didn’t know their limits.

Although the Zhuhong fruits were good, with the combat strength of the Marrow Tempering realm, they would probably be crushed by the snake with a single strike.

Without any ability to assess the situation, such a person deserved to die!

Even if, in the end, they were lucky enough to obtain the Zhuhong fruits and escape the pursuit of the monster, did they think they could escape the pursuit of the Visceral Tempering Realm warriors like them?

Don’t pay attention to those people. The opportunity is coming. Be ready to charge in!”

Kuang Dingbo looked at the snake, sensing that it had become slightly alert due to the additional auras around it. Although it didn’t feel threatened, it disliked being watched like this.

“Hiss!

The snake opened its eyelids, revealing its green pupils. Its eyes were cold, and it scanned its surroundings, seeing numerous insignificant auras like ants.

The snake raised its head, and its forked tongue started flickering. The aura of a peak first-stage monster surged in all directions. The distant insect chirping vanished instantly, and within a radius of hundreds of meters, silence fell.

Chen Fei watched the snake and realized that it was about to take action.

However, it was hard to say which direction the monster would strike.

Chen Fei glanced at Kuang Dingbo beside him, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Kuang Dingbo probably had no impression of Chen Fei at all. After all, back on the mountain, Chen Fei was just an inconspicuous figure among the numerous disciples of the Primordial Sword Sect.

His Bone Tempering Realm cultivation couldn’t attract the attention of others.

But for Chen Fei, the impression of Kuang Dingbo was deeply ingrained. After all, he had disguised himself as Kuang Dingbo before. Now, meeting again, Kuang Dingbo was in the Visceral Tempering realm while Chen Fei had reached the Marrow Tempering realm, just one stage below.

However, being one stage lower in cultivation didn’t necessarily mean a difference in strength.

Chen Fei took the bow and arrows from his back and looked at the snake in front of him. In the next moment, several arrows flew in a huge arc, sweeping past Kuang Dingbo and others, and then fiercely piercing the snake’s head.

“Clang, clang, clang… Sss!”

The arrows flew by, and before anyone could react, the arrowheads collided with the snake’s scales. After a few arrows shattered, the remaining three arrows finally struck the snake’s head.

“Hiss!

The snake’s pupils widened instantly as it experienced intense pain. In the next moment, the snake shot out towards the direction the arrows came from. It only saw the arrows flying from the front.

Kuang Dingbo’s eyes widened, unable to comprehend what was happening. How could the snake be injured by the arrows? What was happening?

He hadn’t even understood what was going on when the snake was wounded and then pounced directly at him. Who was it that ambushed him?

“Charge forward and take the Zhuhong fruits!”

Everything happened in an instant. Seeing the snake charging out, the other waiting warriors, though a bit confused, instantly reacted.

Although they didn’t know the specific situation, since an opportunity had arisen, there was no time to hesitate.

Kuang Dingbo, feeling extremely annoyed, was on the verge of spitting blood. He sprinted away in another direction, not even caring about Yu Doushan. At this moment, the snake was already enraged and focused entirely on Kuang Dingbo, paying no attention to the others.

Tall trees were like weeds in front of the snake. With a casual touch, they fell down, unable to offer the slightest obstruction.

Although the snake’s body was massive, it was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it reached Kuang Dingbo, fully prepared to take a bite out of him.

“AH!”

Kaung Digbo had no time to escape. With a roar, he thrust his spear toward the snake’s injured head.

“Clang!”

With a crisp sound, the snake only slightly shook its head, and the spear pierced its scales, giving Kuang Dingbo an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.

Kuang Dingbo realized that something was wrong. Just as his body had moved a few meters, the snake’s head directly collided with his body. With the sound of bones cracking, Kuang Dingbo spewed out a mouthful of blood and was thrown tens of meters away, crashing heavily onto the ground.

In the blink of an eye, from the snake’s enraged pursuit to Kuang Dingbo’s severe injury, everything happened in an extremely short amount of time. By this time, the other warriors had only run over halfway and hadn’t reached the Zhuhong fruit tree yet.

The snake flicked its tongue and, with a cold gaze, looked back at the Zhuhong fruit tree, observing the humans leaping around. Its eyes were filled with ice-coldness.

Two of the warriors were the fastest, their faces filled with excitement. With the snake distracted, they could grab the Zhuhong fruits and still have time to escape.

Chen Fei landed ten meters away. He could have been the first to pick the Zhuhong fruits, but when he arrived, he suddenly stopped. He activated the Thousand Thread Technique, and his mental power was on alert.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

The branches of the Zhuhong fruit tree, which had been swaying in the wind, suddenly extended and instantly pierced the heads of two warriors, the sucking sound audible. In the blink of an eye, two living people turned into two skins..
