Chapter 2061: Dragon Blood Fruit!
Not far from where the two terrifying creatures stood, there was a three-foot-wide canyon.
In the crevice of the canyon, a fruit tree was growing.
Several small red fruits hung from the tree.
If it were just small red fruits, it wouldn’t have caused everyone to lose their composure like this.
What truly shocked everyone was the faint dragon-shaped vortex appearing on those red fruits.
It’s known that ordinary Spiritual Flowers and Spirit Fruits don’t have such peculiar phenomena.
This fruit can actually produce such an unusual phenomenon.
An idea flashed faintly in Zhou Yu’s mind.
He seemed to have read about this kind of fruit in an ancient text before.
While Zhou Yu was quickly recalling, Xiao Baifeng had already exclaimed in excitement.
"It’s Dragon Blood Fruit!"
"Oh my god!"
"There’s actually a Dragon Blood Fruit tree here."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu suddenly remembered.
Yes, it was the Dragon Blood Fruit.
He had glanced over it in an ancient text before; the Dragon Blood Fruit is a near-extinct Spiritual Medicine.
Additionally, it is also used in the preparation of Pill Medicine for Integration Realm cultivators to enhance their cultivation.
Besides that, the Pill Medicine prepared from the Dragon Blood Fruit can increase the success rate of breakthrough for Void Refinement Realm cultivators by thirty to fifty percent.
Of course, the actual increase depends on the method of pill preparation and the quality of the auxiliary materials.
In short, this Dragon Blood Fruit is a rare treasure for both Void Refinement Realm and Integration Realm cultivators.
Previously, Zhou Yu didn’t understand why ancient texts described the land of Human and Demon Clans as a poor area of the Heavenly Origin World.
Now he finally understood.
They had just entered the Bone Forest not long ago, and first encountered the Ancient Thunder Python, and then stumbled upon this Dragon Blood Fruit.
This place indeed has far more resources than the land of Human and Demon Clans.
At this moment, Xiao Baifeng, Li Su, and the boy named Long all showed a fiery look in their eyes.
They were all strong in the Void Refinement Realm, and if they could obtain this fruit, their resources and status would naturally allow them to refine it into top-quality Pill Medicine to help them break through to the Integration Realm in the future.
Of course, Zhou Yu and Ye Ling were likewise eager.
Zhou Yu noticed the change in Ye Ling’s eyes; he didn’t know what Ye Ling needed the fruit for.
As for himself, obtaining this fruit would greatly aid his cultivation of the Brahma Heaven Demon Technique.
Of course, no one acted impulsively.
No one was foolish.
Those two terrifying creatures below were definitely fighting desperately because of the Dragon Blood Fruit.
If they showed any interest in the fruit right now, it might instantly provoke those two creatures to attack them.
That would be troublesome.
At this moment, Xiao Baifeng had calmed down.
She spoke up:
"The strength of these two creatures is roughly equivalent to the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm of the Human and Demon Clans."
"If we don’t handle it well, we might all end up here!"
Li Su nodded.
"Indeed, these two creatures are very strong; the residual impact of their attacks just now affected us. Fortunately, they haven’t discovered us yet."
"Now, you all go ahead, and I’ll stay here to cover for you. If something unforeseen happens, I can try to hold them off, buying you time to escape."
"Once you’re safely away, I’ll come find you to regroup!"
The boy named Long also chuckled at this moment.
"It’s too dangerous for Brother Li alone; let me stay with you to cover our retreat!"
Li Su frowned, glanced at the boy named Long, and nodded in agreement without saying much.
Xiao Baifeng took a deep breath, then said:
"Thank you, both of you."
She then looked at Zhou Yu and Ye Ling.
"Let’s go!"
However, Zhou Yu suddenly spoke up:
"I’ll stay too!"
At Zhou Yu’s words, Li Su and the others immediately looked at him.
Li Su showed a mocking expression.
"You’re just a mere Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator; what can you do by staying in such a dangerous place?"
"With Brother Long and me covering, we don’t need you to cause trouble!"
Zhou Yu calmly replied:
"I’m staying for the Dragon Blood Fruit, naturally."
At this, everyone turned their gaze to Zhou Yu simultaneously.
Li Su’s expression darkened even further.
"Zhou Yu, are you courting death?"
"The Dragon Blood Fruit is next to the two creatures; if you alert them while picking the fruit, wouldn’t you be leading us to our deaths?"
"Get out now!"
"Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!"
But just as Li Su finished speaking, Ye Ling suddenly stepped forward.
"I’ll stay too!"
"Hmm?"
Li Su’s face turned even gloomier.
"What?"
"Both of you are courting death?"
Zhou Yu said calmly:
"Alright, stop pretending!"
"Staying to cover us, aren’t you two also after the Dragon Blood Fruit?"
"Instead of wasting time acting, why not just take the fruit and leave!"
"Of course, if you’re thinking of keeping it all for yourselves, then you’re just too foolish!"
At this, Li Su and the boy named Long’s expressions changed.
Xiao Baifeng also understood and looked at the two with some angry frustration.
Seeing their plan exposed, Li Su sneered and stopped acting.
"I was giving you face by letting you leave."
"Do you really think a mere Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator can share in our prize?"
"I advise you to leave immediately, or I won’t mind dealing with you before taking the treasure!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu remained unafraid and calmly said:
"Sharing in the prize presumes you two have already obtained it."
"If I’m not mistaken, it’s still an ownerless item now, isn’t it?"
Li Su narrowed his eyes, sneering:
"Oh?"
"So you think you have the confidence to take the treasure too?"
"I’m quite curious where you get the courage to deal with these two creatures equivalent to the late-stage Void Refinement Realm?"
Zhou Yu replied calmly:
"I truly don’t have the confidence to handle two late-stage Void Refinement Realm creatures."
"But why should I fight them?"
"From the look of things, they’ll soon both be wounded, and then it’ll be the perfect time to take the treasure, yes?"
"Isn’t that what you two are thinking?"
"Of course, if you’re planning to kill those two creatures before taking the treasure, then I’ll back out and not take another glance!"
"Go ahead!"
Zhou Yu gestured.
At Zhou Yu’s words, Li Su and the boy named Long’s expressions darkened.
Both had intended to reap the benefits only after the fight.
They wanted to send off Xiao Baifeng and the others, then the two would keep the Dragon Blood Fruit for themselves.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu, despite his youth, was so perceptive, quickly noticing this opportunity.
For a moment, Li Su and the boy named Long’s gaze on Zhou Yu turned cold...
