Chapter 23
One After Another!
In the distance, Mu Xuan looked at the seven or eight figures that appeared in his vision and secretly swallowed his saliva. He finally realized that something was wrong. The demon beasts around the Dragon Blood Fruit Tree were at least overlord level 7 demon beasts!
Among them, there was no lack of demon beasts with special bloodlines and strange demon beasts, especially that Strength Demon Ape. It was seven to eight meters tall and looked like a small mountain, filled with endless pressure.
Compared to it, the beast cultivated by the Dark Alliance’s Lin Yan was simply trash!
“Looks like I’ve already gone deep into the Dragon Gate Mountain Range…”
“What should I do? There are so many high-level demon beasts. Am I going to retreat just like that?!”
“It’s a pity that I can’t obtain the treasure in front of me!”
Mu Xuan began to panic. He knew that the longer he stayed here, the more dangerous it would be, because no one knew if an overlord-level demon beast would come out from behind him.
“Wait, I think I can let the cat wait for an opportunity!”
Mu Xuan quickly thought of a way to break out of the situation. The Spatial Polecat was a spatial beast, and he had already confirmed that there was no demon beast that could suppress the spatial attribute now. He could completely let the cat wait for an opportunity to secretly pick a Dragon Blood Fruit.
Then, Mu Xuan summoned the Spatial Polecat and told it his idea. He didn’t expect the Little Cat to cower on the spot afterwards. “Meow, meow, meow… (It’s too dangerous, I’m not going…)”
Mu Xuan rolled his eyes. “I didn’t ask you to attack those overlord-level demon beasts. Your goal is the Dragon Blood Fruit, understand? Find the right time and steal one and return while those demon beasts are fighting for the Dragon Blood Fruit!”
“Meow, meow! (No!)”
Seeing that this wasn’t going to work, Mu Xuan suddenly thought of this little guy’s gluttony attribute and immediately had an idea. “Little Cat, this Dragon Blood Fruit is prepared for you. As long as you can steal a Dragon Blood Fruit, you can evolve into a dragon beast!”
After saying this, the little guy was finally tempted. After hesitating for a few seconds, it finally nodded, making Mu Xuan speechless on the spot. If he had known that this would work earlier, he wouldn’t have wasted his breath.
Soon, a simple plan was drawn up. The Spatial Polecat instantly disappeared and had already entered the void…
Seeing this, Mu Xuan nodded slightly. Then, he retreated a few hundred meters and hid on a big tree, silently waiting for the Spatial Polecat to take action.
Mu Xuan was still very confident in the Little Cat. This was a spatial beast. Putting aside the extremely rare demon beasts that could control gravity, time, and domains, spatial beasts were the most slippery existences!
The strange fragrance emitted by the Dragon Blood Fruit Tree became richer and richer. More and more demon beasts came from all directions. They were all overlord-level demon beasts. Mu Xuan roughly estimated that there were at least 30 of them.
Fortunately, Mu Xuan was in the direction of the north mountain, because the overlord-level demon beasts in that area had already been cleaned up by the teachers of the nine high schools. No overlord-level demon beasts appeared, and there was no danger.
After more than two hours, the strange phenomenon that was here before suddenly disappeared. At this moment, the demon beasts instantly went crazy and started fighting for the Dragon Blood Fruit.
The first to attack was actually the Iron-Feathered Dark Golden Eagle. It quickly swept through the air at an extremely fast speed, plucked a Dragon Blood Fruit, and prepared to escape. However, before it could successfully rise into the sky, it was already being targeted by wind blades. It was the Level 8 Overlord Wind Fire Eagle!
On the ground, the Iron-Feathered Dark Gold Eagle made a move and directly broke that balance. All the demon beasts rushed towards the Dragon Blood Fruit Tree. The two Lightning Mad Wolves and the Strength Demon Ape at the peak of the overlord level were instantly furious. They used powerful skills and sent the demon beasts who tried to snatch the Dragon Blood Fruit flying…
The scene immediately fell into chaos!
It was in this situation that a small silver-gray beast suddenly appeared from the void and landed on the trunk of the Dragon Blood Fruit Tree. It secretly plucked a Dragon Blood Fruit while most high-level demon beasts were fighting.
The little guy’s eyes rolled a few times. Seeing that no one noticed its movements, it swelled up and started to steal a second one… A third one…
Just as it stole the fourth one, the Mighty Demon Ape finally discovered it. Its terrifying roar resounded in a radius of 50 kilometers. The terrifying sound wave surged through the void and actually blew the little guy off the tree trunk. Just as the little guy was about to die on the spot, the void flickered and its figure instantly disappeared!
This sudden change instantly angered the Mighty Demon Ape. It… started to go crazy!
“Roar…”
“Roar…”
“Roar…”
The Mighty Demon Ape went crazy and actually started to attack the surrounding demon beasts indiscriminately!
In just a moment, an overlord-level demon beast was sent flying hundreds of meters, heavily injured on the spot…
On a big tree in the distance, looking at the cruel scene under the Dragon Blood Fruit Tree, Mu Xuan took a deep breath. Fortunately, he wasn’t hot-headed.
Suddenly, Mu Xuan saw a weight on his shoulder. It was the Spatial Polecat that had just returned. It looked very afraid, making Mu Xuan feel much more at ease. “Little Cat, did you steal the Dragon Blood Fruit?”
The cat raised its head, as if it was saying, “How can I fail if I, the Spatial Polecat, take action!”
Then, the Little Cat took out Dragon Blood Fruits from its pocket space!
[Dragon Blood Fruit]
Level: Overlord
Applicable range: Dragon, Inferior Dragon, Snake Python, Flesh Beast…
Introduction: A rare spiritual fruit that contains a trace of the power of a true dragon. It’s the main ingredient for low-level beasts to evolve into dragon-element beasts. There’s a certain chance that it could be modified into a dragon-element demon beast if it is directly swallowed. You will obtain the inheritance of the dragon race and increase your bloodline potential! Note: The fragrance emitted by a mature Dragon Blood Fruit is very attractive to demon beasts!
“Three Dragon Blood Fruits?!” Mu Xuan was shocked. Even the way he looked at the cat was different.
“Little Cat, put it away. Let’s leave quickly!” Looking at the three Dragon Blood Fruits in his hand, Mu Xuan had already sensed the anger of those high-level demon beasts. If they stayed here, they might be discovered by the demon beasts.
Then, Mu Xuan quickly left with the Ice Crystal Spirit and the Spatial Polecat.
Before long, an extremely beautiful butterfly landed on the tree trunk where Mu Xuan and the others had just rested and let out a strange cry…
The sun gradually set, and evening was about to arrive. The joint examination of the nine schools was also about to end. At the entrance of the joint examination of the nine schools, students walked out in groups of three to five. Their faces were either filled with satisfaction, frustration, or were blank the whole time.
“First High, Zhao Siwei, obtained… 18,500 points!”
“…”
“Third High, He Busi, obtained… 21,100 points!”
“…”
“Eighth High, Zhang Chengming, obtained points… 44,300!”
Looking at the rising points of his school and then at the stagnant points of the Ninth High School, the principal of Eighth High School immediately smiled. “Old Lin, why does your school only have so little points? Didn’t your school say that there was a lucky kid who contracted an elemental life form?!”
Not far away, the principal of Seventh High also smiled. “Old Lin, to think that we even treated you as a big enemy. I didn’t expect you to be all talk and no show!”
Lin Xuanye snorted. “What are you so proud of? That kid hasn’t come out yet! When he comes out, he’ll definitely surprise you!”
“Is that so?” The principal of Eighth High School chuckled and said, “It’s not easy to surprise us! Zhang Chengming from our school hunted a commander level 4 demon beast. He hunted a total of 30 demon beasts. I don’t believe that anyone is stronger than him!”
The sky gradually darkened, and night was about to fall. Everyone was a little impatient. Now, there were only three people who had yet to walk out of the North Mountain!
