Chapter 1028 - 1,035 & 1,036: Obtaining the Spirit Fruit and Escape (2)

Huang Su snatched a Seven-Turned Spirit Fruit and tried to escape by shapeshifting, with her attention fully on the few people below, never expecting a beast attack from another direction.

In her frantic haste, she couldn't react in time, and a purple beam of light with crushing force pierced through the disposable magical treasure she used for protection, finally striking her body.

With a sharp scream, Huang Su, severely hit, spat out a mouthful of blood, losing countless feathers as her body fell from the sky.

Just as she was three yards from the ground, her seemingly inert wings suddenly shook vigorously, her beast form flickered strangely, and she vanished into the horizon in an instant.

Watching Huang Su, who survived his full attack and still managed to escape, Iron Teeth let out an angry roar towards the sky: "Search for it! It's injured and won't get far. Find it and kill it for me."

When Iron Teeth stormed into the valley, it had arranged for other beast tribes to blockade this forest, precisely to prevent enemies from escaping.

Several Heaven-Reaching Golden-Maned Lions flapped their wings and took to the sky, pursuing in the direction Huang Su fled.

The vicious and murderous roars instantly disrupted the few people still vying for the Seven-Turned Spirit Fruit, who turned to glance at Iron Teeth.

They instantly changed their expressions.

Four Realms Demon Beast!

"Damn!"

Bao Lingfei's expression sank, yet he still didn't give up on the Seven-Turned Spirit Fruit, nor did he block the Thirteenth Princess who was already rushing towards the Pure Treasure Tree, swiftly moving towards the Spirit Fruit while saying, "Leave one for me."

The Thirteenth Princess had already picked one and ignored Bao Lingfei, raising her hand to pick the second one without stopping him from picking.

Feng Ying saw this and quickly urged the Wind and Thunder Mirror to collect.

Neither the Thirteenth Princess nor Bao Lingfei stopped her, understanding that family grievances should be set aside under current circumstances, and they should first grab the Spirit Fruit.

After all, blocking would certainly lead to a fight.

Then not only would they fail to pick the fruit, but escaping would also be impossible.

The Thirteenth Princess consecutively picked three Seven-Turned Spirit Fruits.

Just as she was about to pick the fourth, she glanced back and saw Lin Huai Xiao and Lin Jin being attacked by the beast tide, with the Four Realms Demon Beast quickly closing in.

To give the Thirteenth Princess time to pick the Spirit Fruit, Lin Huai Xiao and Lin Jin were blocking the beasts charging towards her, causing them to be surrounded by the beast tide.

Feng Ying wasn't greedy; after collecting one, like Huang Su, she ignored Chen Mo, transformed into her true form, and soared into the sky, immediately encountering flying beast obstruction.

Bao Lingfei, being greedy, picked two and still wanted to grab the other two on the tree.

At this moment, a purple beam shot over, but Bao Lingfei, having been alerted, dodged with a speed advantage.

The purple beam then blasted onto the Pure Treasure Tree.

The tree, being a treasure, had no defense at all. With a "boom," the Pure Treasure Tree exploded into pieces, with wood chips and leaves radiating with luster flying in all directions like an unexpected storm.

The bark was torn open, exposing the white wood that shimmered with luster, cracks like ferocious wounds extending from the trunk to the branches, with leaves violently shaking under the energy shock waves of the purple beam, then breaking off to fly away, with two unpicked Seven-Turned Spirit Fruits hanging on the severed branch.

Bao Lingfei instantly flew up in a rush, intending to catch them.

But he didn't anticipate that Iron Teeth, initially charging towards the Thirteenth Princess, would go straight at Bao Lingfei.

"Die!"

Iron Teeth's eyes turned red, its voice filled with extreme rage.

Initially targeting the Thirteenth Princess, Iron Teeth suddenly sensed a familiar aura from Bao Lingfei's magical treasure, realizing it was made from bones of Heaven-Reaching Golden-Maned Lions.

These bones were definitely from an ancestor, which filled Iron Teeth with overwhelming anger, the only thought in its mind being to crush the leopard.

...

Chen Mo, meanwhile, never approached the Pure Treasure Tree, busy harvesting Spiritual Medicine in the valley.

But his distance from the Pure Treasure Tree meant that when the beast tide entered, he was the first to be locked onto, facing a siege from the beasts.

Luckily, possibly because he appeared weak, those besieging him were mainly First and Second Realm beasts, unable to threaten Chen Mo.

Even so, not escaping quickly posed a problem.

He planned to fly, but as soon as he considered it, he saw Huang Su being struck by the purple beam, understanding that flying would make him an easy target.

Thus, while fending off the beasts' siege, he retreated towards the Pure Treasure Tree, hoping these beasts would shift their focus to Bao Lingfei and the others.

And just then, a branch from the Pure Treasure Tree fell towards Chen Mo's location.

Chen Mo noticed two Seven-Turned Spirit Fruits on the branch and casually grabbed them, storing them in the Qiankun Bracelet.

The Spirit Fruit was now obtained.

The biggest problem now was how to escape?

Chen Mo didn't dare make himself too conspicuous, fearing detection by Third Realm or higher beasts.

Therefore, during the siege by First and Second Realm beasts, though he could kill them, he chose to only repel them.

Perhaps his mind was somewhat cunning.

He hoped that the Third Realm or higher beasts in the beast tide would be drawn towards Feng Ying, Bao Lingfei, the Thirteenth Princess, thus reducing his pressure and providing him an escape opportunity.

Indeed, flying was too noticeable.

When Feng Ying transformed and tried to flee, she was immediately hunted by several Third Realm beasts.

Seeing no way to escape and facing mortal peril,

Feng Ying quickly changed back to human form, casting a spell to activate the Wind and Thunder Mirror.

The Wind and Thunder Mirror floated in the sky, its surface suddenly rippling, with silver lightning patterns on the frame lighting up one by one, the chaos in the mirror turning into a turbulent pool of thunder, thousands of electric snakes swimming beneath the mirror's surface, emitting a spine-tingling sizzling sound.

"Open!"

Feng Ying shouted fiercely, the Chi Yuan Beast head on the Wind and Thunder Mirror's handle suddenly opened its eyes, causing the weather to change, with clouds gathering and a silver bolt shooting up from the mirror, turning the sky into a vortex.

"Boom!"

At that moment, thousands of bolts struck down from the leaden clouds, crashing into the valley below, initially blackening the ground, causing numerous beast casualties.

The Third Realm beasts besieging Feng Ying were all repelled.

However, the lightning didn't distinguish between friend and foe; Chen Mo, unprepared, was struck, making him shiver, prompting him to quickly activate the Nine Heavens Divine Forging Skill to absorb the currents coursing throughout his body.

"Bang!"

Iron Teeth, with a paw strike infused with tremendous power, fiercely hit Bao Lingfei's body, ripping off a chunk of flesh while smacking Bao Lingfei away.

About to deliver the final blow to Bao Lingfei, Iron Teeth sensed something and dodged the descending thunderbolt.

Looking upwards, upon seeing the Wind and Thunder Mirror floating high, a shadowy memory awoke.

When his grandmother was still alive, she had a beast skin painting, depicting the enemy's appearance and the magical artifacts they used.

The Wind and Thunder Mirror matched an artifact on that painting identically.

His grandmother had also mentioned that this mirror artifact had once slain one of their Fifth Realm ancestors.

"Roar!"

With a fierce lion's roar, Iron Teeth immediately abandoned Bao Lingfei, flapping its wings as it charged towards Feng Ying.

As for the Thirteenth Princess, to rescue Lin Huai Xiao and Lin Jin, she also activated her magical treasure, attracting several Third Realm beasts.

"A good opportunity."

Seeing this, Chen Mo realized it was a chance to escape.

"Blood God Seal."

Chen Mo summoned the Blood God Seal, repelled the nearby beasts, and quickly fled.

He also chose not to take to the skies, relying on his agile form to rapidly weave through the forest.

Constantly hearing beast roars from behind, some beasts were giving chase.
