In the pitch-black and hazy night, the light of the fire was flickering.

The slender man who walked out of the crowd stood in front of the beasts and stood steadily.

“Everyone, stop. At this juncture, there’s no need to kill each other.”

“No way, such a good opportunity, Brother Luo, you…”

Before he could speak, he was interrupted.

“Do you need me to repeat it for the third time? I said, stop!”

The slender man’s feminine voice became a little sharp, and a trace of impatience appeared on his face.

For a moment, silence fell.

The atmosphere on the field fell into a momentary stagnation.

The six people around did not refute again. They silently commanded their pet beasts to retreat.

Bai Wushang’s eyes moved slightly, and he was slightly surprised.

There were only a hundred students on this trial ground. This person was able to rope in six people to form a team and had such a strong voice. It was enough to prove that he was not ordinary.

“Really, he doesn’t have a sense of the big picture at all!” The slender man complained in a low voice, he turned to Bai Wushang and bowed slightly. “I’m sorry that we might have disturbed you. I apologize to you on behalf of my companions.”

Bai Wushang could not guess what he was thinking. After all, he had already released the spider silk. A fight was about to break out, but he stood up to stop it. It was inevitable that people would suspect his motives.

After some deliberation, he asked, “What are you all doing here?”

“This is a hunting ground that we have set up. We are using this to train our team.”

The slender man’s gaze was calm as he continued:

“As you can see, although our team seems to have many people, our strength is uneven. It’s like a handful of loose sand. If we don’t train ourselves, we will be defeated when facing slightly stronger transcendent creatures…”

“Oh? Then why do you want to stop? You have the advantage in numbers, and I am alone. No matter how you look at it, I am the weaker party.” Bai Wushang countered with a question.

The slender man smiled and said gently, “Because I know you, Student Bai! I remember the three autonomous awakeners for this year very clearly.”

Without waiting for Bai Wushang to speak, he spoke first:

“Student Bai, you must have entered this Silver Leaf Forest for the magical fruit tree, right?”

Bai Wushang quietly cleaned up all the spider silk. After making sure that there were no other obstacles under his feet, he replied, “What are you trying to say?”

The slender man laughed. “On the first day of the trial, I was teleported here and have never left until today. I don’t dare to say that I know everything about this forest, but I do know a thing or two about the magical fruit tree.”

“I wonder if Student Bai would be interested in coming to our camp to eat and chat?”

“The day of the magical fruit tree’s ripening is just around the corner. If we can convince Student Bai to join the team and work together, the probability of us succeeding in obtaining it will be greatly increased.”

“When the time comes, we will distribute the profits according to our respective contributions. Everyone will be able to return with a full harvest. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

Seeing that Bai Wushang’s eyebrows were slightly raised and seemed to be tempted, Luo Bing struck while the iron was hot:

“We are just chatting. We have no ill intentions. Even if Student Bai rejects us in the end, we will not force you. Don’t worry.”

“Since we’re already at this point, why don’t I go and listen and take the opportunity to get some information about the magical fruit tree? Hmm… even if there’s a trap, I have Ah Zhou’s protection. If I’m careful, there’s always a chance to escape…”

Bai Wushang weighed the risks and benefits and nodded in agreement.

“Let me introduce myself. My name is Luo Bing, I’m from the Great Qian Dynasty’s Southeast region, Su Jiang City…”

Along the way, the other six people led their pet beasts to lead the way. Luo Bing and Bai Wushang maintained a distance of two metres and chatted behind them. Luo Bing was basically the one talking while Bai Wushang listened quietly.

After more than ten minutes, the group arrived at an open-air cave. They lit a bonfire and sat around it.

When they returned to the safe base, everyone’s words and actions were more relaxed. They either took out food to barbecue or talked in low voices. The atmosphere quickly became lively.

Bai Wushang found the furthest seat and sat down. Ah Zhou followed closely behind, never letting its guard down.

As for the Red Horse… it was tied to a tree and eating wild grass alone.

Among the pet beasts of the seven-man team, three went out to patrol while the other three stayed by the side of their masters in an orderly manner.

Among them, the millstone-sized Silk Spider attracted Bai Wushang’s attention.

It wrapped its eight legs around a girl’s back and rubbed its ferocious mouth against the girl’s cheek.

“Eh?”

Bai Wushang didn’t expect that he would know the owner of the spider!

It was the woman in the blue dress who caught the Thunderhorn Bull, betrayed her friends to survive and chased him for half a day!

However, at this moment, she had changed into a simple set of clothes, and her hair was tied into a ponytail. Her originally charming temperament was somewhat restrained.

As if she had noticed Bai Wushang’s gaze, Lin Nana smiled awkwardly and immediately lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

“Interesting, she actually survived until now. Her luck is really good…” Bai Wushang’s eyes were bright, and no one knew what he was thinking.

“Student Bai, I’ll get straight to the point. These few days, the magical fruit tree will erupt with a strange fragrance on average once a day, and it will last longer and longer. Therefore, I personally estimate that it will mature in three or four days, which is the thirteenth or fourteenth day of the trial,” Luo Bing said.

Seeing that they were talking about serious matters, Bai Wushang got rid of his distracting thoughts and asked tentatively, “Where is it?”

Luo Bing did not move his arm. He pointed his index finger at the sky and said, “Use the direction of the rising sun as a reference point and travel 20 to 30 kilometres to the south. In the middle of the dense forest in the deepest part of the Silver Leaf Forest, the magical fruit tree is planted there.”

“You’ve described it in such detail. Have you seen it with your own eyes?”

“Of course.”

Bai Wushang’s heart moved slightly, and he asked, “Then do you know what color the magical fruit tree is?”

“Its wood is red, scarlet red!”

Luo Bing’s eyes swept across Bai Wushang’s side profile, and he smiled. “I think Brother Bai is also well-read. You should know what this means, right?”

Bai Wushang nodded lightly.

“In that case, the magical fruit it produces when it ripens should be called the ‘Bloodline Fruit’.”

“That’s right!”

Luo Bing took out a bunch of pink meat skewers and began to roast them. He then continued to say:

“According to the records of those strange stories, the color of the trunk of the magical fruit tree is the same as the final magical fruit.”

“And the effects of the magical fruits of different colors are completely different.”

“For example, the black ‘Bang Bang Fruit’ can strengthen the muscles after consumption.”

“The green ‘Hat Fruit’ can increase one’s fertility after consuming it.”

“The yellow ‘Memory Fruit’ can increase one’s brain capacity after consuming it, which in turn can increase one’s intelligence.”

“The blue ‘Bubble Fruit’ can slow down the aging process after consuming it, making one’s skin as smooth and elastic as a baby’s…”

“So far, there have been a total of 13 magical fruits of different colors. Apart from a few human masters who can consume them, the rest are limited to transcedent creatures. The red ‘Bloodline Fruit’is no exception…”
