Chapter 991: Chapter 992: The Black Iron Sphere
This is not sothing he can salvage, and even if Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge have a chance to get in, there won’t be any good outco.
Because those who enter inside are definitely cultivators who gather the strength of the masses. Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge, two low-realm cultivators without any foundation, are destined to be beaten, killed, and bullied.
Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge naturally understand their own limitations. Right now, their only worry is being targeted by other cultivators outside, which would an that their hard-earned treasures would go to waste.
“Who should we seek alliances with?” Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge pondered.
After thinking it over, they couldn’t find a suitable candidate, so they decided to take things as they ca.
When dawn broke, the three of them continued their journey to find the Sun Fruit.
At two in the afternoon, they finally found a relatively large Sun Fruit Tree in a forest.
However, from a distance, they couldn’t see any Sun Fruits hanging on it.
“Could it be barren again?” Lin Yifan frowned, feeling displeased.
Then, with unease, they quietly approached to observe the situation around the Sun Fruit Tree; they found no signs of battle nor a lot of corpses lying around.
“Could it be promising?”
A mont ago, Lin Yifan was disheartened, but now he was instantly invigorated, incredibly excited.
He held his breath, suppressing the excitent in his heart, and moved in step by step.
Suddenly, he saw several yellow mounds under the Sun Fruit Tree, unsure of whose they were.
“Why are there mounds there?” Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge wondered, having noticed this odd phenonon too.
“No, those are not mounds, those are ant nests!”
The observant Lin Yifan discovered the clue because he saw ants crawling on the towering dirt.
“Ant nests! No way!” Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge were incredulous.
They had never seen such a huge ant nest and were really scared stiff.
“It is definitely an ant nest, no doubt,” Lin Yifan replied straightforwardly.
He had already seen many large black ants going in and out of it.
Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge didn’t believe it, so they changed their angle to observe and found that indeed a large number of ants were crawling on the yellow soil.
“Gasp!” They gasped in shock, really scared stiff.
“Damn, it really is an ant nest!”
At this mont, they completely believed Lin Yifan’s words.
“Brother Yifan, could it be that these large black ants are Spirit Beasts?” they asked curiously.
If they were all Spirit Beasts, then they would be in big trouble.
Because although ants are small in size, they prevail in numbers; even an elephant in their way could be taken down. So never underestimate these tiny ants.
“They are definitely Spirit Beasts, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to occupy that large Sun Fruit Tree,” Lin Yifan answered.
Almost every Sun Fruit Tree is guarded by Spirit Beasts because of the Sun Fruit.
Spirit Beasts here want to obtain a tougher exterior, and they must rely on Sun Fruits. So to keep themselves invincible, they all vie for the resources of Sun Fruit Trees.
Weak Spirit Beasts will not be able to have Sun Fruit Trees, not to ntion animals that aren’t Spirit Beasts.
So these large black ants are definitely Spirit Beasts, and strong ones at that, which no ordinary Spirit Beast dares to provoke.
Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge nodded, agreeing with this viewpoint; only strong Spirit Beasts are capable of possessing Sun Fruit Tree resources.
So far, Lin Yifan and the others haven’t discovered any trace of Sun Fruits on this Sun Fruit Tree.
They were quite curious how such a large tree, with no one appearing to have picked from it, could have no Sun Fruits.
Additionally, without Sun Fruits, why were these large black ants residing beneath?
All these questions made Lin Yifan feel sothing was amiss.
It was likely they overlooked sothing, which resulted in them not seeing the Sun Fruits.
Lin Yifan, with a keen gaze, tracked a large black ant climbing up the tree from the ground, intending to see where it would go.
Following all the way, he didn’t notice anything unusual.
However, when he saw the large black ant rge into a large black iron ball, he suddenly realized sothing was wrong.
This large black iron ball wasn’t the smooth, matte black kind seen in the market; it had many bumps, quite rough, and there seed to be subtle shape shifts occurring.
“Sun Fruit!”
Lin Yifan exclaid, sure he hadn’t been mistaken; that large black iron ball was the Sun Fruit, just covered by the large black ants.
“Sun Fruit? Where?” Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge approached to ask curiously.
They had been watching for so long and hadn’t noticed anything peculiar, very curious about how Lin Yifan had discovered it.
“Behind that leaf.” Lin Yifan pointed at the large black iron ball, informing Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu.
Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge looked in the direction Lin Yifan pointed, and only saw sothing black, asking what on earth he ant: “Brother Yifan! How is that a Sun Fruit? Sun Fruits are yellow!”
“I know the Sun Fruit is yellow, but it’s now covered by large black ants, so it only appears black,” explained Lin Yifan.
Given that the environnt surrounding the Sun Fruit Tree was a dense jungle with tall trees overshadowing it, the surroundings were quite dark, practically making it impossible to discern anything black; hence, Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge hadn’t seen anything.
“Covered by large black ants?”
Hearing this shocking news, Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge wiped their eyes and observed closely, finding the blackened thing behind the leaf indeed strange, as if sothing was covering it.
“Could it really be the Sun Fruit?” They questioned, feeling a chill creeping up their spines.
With so many large black Spirit Beast ants crawling on it, how on earth were they going to pick this Sun Fruit? Anyway, they felt incapable of doing it.
“It must be the Sun Fruit, no doubt about it,” Lin Yifan affird.
“Then what do we do? How are we supposed to pick it?” Long Tengyu asked curiously.
“The sa thod, I’ll play music to hypnotize them, and you guys go pluck it for !” Lin Yifan replied.
Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge were imdiately embarrassed, stamring with awkwardness: “This… this… this doesn’t seem right!”
“What’s wrong with it? Are you guys not even willing to help with this?” Lin Yifan questioned, his face turning displeased.
“It’s not that we’re unwilling, it’s really too difficult, too dangerous,” responded Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu.
“With my music supporting you and my sharp dagger easing your burden, what danger, what difficulty do you have?” Lin Yifan countered.
