C4918 Snatch the Fruit!
C4918 Snatch the Fruit!
At this moment, he suddenly realized that what he had obtained was not the Fire Spirit Fruit, but a hot potato.
Now, he had obtained this 10,000-year-old Fire Spirit Fruit, and he had become the target of all the cultivators present. They wanted to snatch it away.
Thinking of this, he did not hesitate at all. He took out a Divine Speed Talisman and stuck it on his body to speed up his escape.
"Let's leave first."
His feet moved, and his figure suddenly rose. In the blink of an eye, he had escaped the range of the Fire Devouring Ant Nest and temporarily escaped the siege of the Fire Devouring Ant.
However, the real threat was not these Fire Devouring Ants, but the other rogue cultivators.
The moment the old man moved, three cultivators immediately followed. Their eyes were cold and malicious.
"Old thing, leave the Fire Spirit Fruit behind."
"If you know what's good for you, leave the Fire Spirit Fruit behind, and you might have a chance to live."
"Haha, old thing, I have to thank you for scouting for us. Hand over the Fire Spirit Fruit now, or else you will die without a burial."
The three people sneered and threatened.
The old man's heart was filled with hatred, but he knew that it was impossible for him to gain any advantage verbally.
These three people had made up their minds to kill him and steal his treasures.
Not only these three people, but there were other cultivators who were also eager to try.
At that moment, he did not dare to stop for even a moment. A bloody light appeared on his body, and his speed increased by a large amount again, accelerating his escape from this place.
For him, there was no other way other than to escape from this place as soon as possible.
For this, he did not hesitate to continue burning his lifespan and increase his speed to a higher level.
A blood-colored trajectory flew through the air in midair. Three figures followed closely behind him.
Seeing that the old cultivator was risking his life and burning his lifespan, the three of them were shocked.
"Damn it, this old thing really doesn't want to live."
"Using the price of burning his lifespan, he increased his speed again. If this continues, he will be left behind."
"I don't believe that this old thing really doesn't want to live. Chase, don't let him escape."
As he spoke, another person followed up, wanting to chase after him to the end.
In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the sight of the other cultivators.
"Why, you're not going to chase after him?"
In the sea of souls, Xiluo asked curiously.
Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "There are too many variables. If we chase after him, it will not be worth it. In a battle of five people, I might not be able to pick up any advantage."
He was still very clear-headed. Although the old cultivator burned his lifespan to forcefully increase his speed, once he stopped, he would be extremely weak and become the target of the siege.
At that time, he would either give up the Fire Spirit Fruit unwillingly or die.
In Chen Xiao's opinion, he really couldn't think of a third way.
Xiro nodded and said, "That's reasonable. Five people fighting for a Fire Spirit Fruit. Tsk, it's really scary."
Chen Xiao smiled indifferently, "There are four Fire Spirit Fruits in this Fire Ant Nest. All of them are guarded by the Fire Ant Swarm. This is a more suitable place to go."
"Oh, you plan to go and snatch it as well?" Xiro asked.
Chen Xiao nodded, "Yes, I have to try and see if I can get it. If I can't, I won't force it. It's better to be safe."
"That's for the best. It's best not to be too strong." Xiro heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, for Chen Xiao, it was naturally best if he could get a Fire Spirit Fruit. If he couldn't, he could also use the abundant Fire Spirit Qi here to increase his cultivation.
Whether it was Blackie or his Green Flame Ghostfire, they were all excellent places for cultivation.
In comparison, the Fire Spirit Fruit was nothing.
His gaze swept around, and he quickly found a target.
"Let's go."
Without a word, he rushed towards a Fire Spirit Fruit in the east.
The Fire Spirit Fruit that the old cultivator had taken away was at the edge of the Fire Ant Nest. There was only one fruit on one tree, so it was not very precious.
On the tree in the center of the Fire Ant Nest, there were three fruits that had ripened. They were extremely mature and had been there for ten thousand years.
But at the same time, it was also the place where the Fire Devouring Ant Swarm was the most tightly guarded.
Chen Xiao only glanced at it and immediately gave up on the idea. Instead, he chose another place, which was also at the edge of the nest, and only had one Fire Spirit Fruit.
His figure moved, and he pounced over.
There were more than one person who had the same idea as him. There were also two other cultivators who also pounced over.
One of them was a green-clothed sword cultivator. His figure was sharp and his appearance was tall and sturdy. He glared at Chen Xiao and scolded, "This Fire Spirit Fruit is mine. Whoever dares to step forward will be killed without mercy."
Chen Xiao heard this and sneered, "This fruit doesn't have your name carved on it. How can it be yours? It naturally belongs to the strong."
The green-clothed sword cultivator was so angry that he laughed and scolded, "What a strong person. Watch the sword and kill."
He raised his hand and stabbed out with his sword. The sword shadow tore through the air and slashed towards Chen Xiao.
This was a long-range attack. It was not about killing Chen Xiao and causing him any harm, but to delay his momentum so that he could gain an advantageous position.
"Hmph."
Chen Xiao sneered. He casually slashed out with his sword and shattered the sword shadow. Then, he raised his hand and slammed it towards the other party.
"Heaven Destroying Palm."
The power of wind and thunder erupted, causing a raging heat wave to attack the green-clothed sword cultivator.
"You..."
The expression of the green-clothed sword cultivator changed slightly, and he had no choice but to dodge.
Just as the two of them were fighting, another person took the lead and rushed to the front.
This person was a middle-aged cultivator. He held a large saber in his hand and wore armor. His facial features were as hard as stone.
"Haha, the Fire Spirit Fruit is mine."
He suddenly accelerated and pounced down.
A group of Fire Devouring Ants pounced towards him. He angrily raised his saber and slashed through the air.
Boom!
The green saber light exploded, splitting the Fire Devouring Ant group into two and forcefully opening up a path.
When the middle-aged cultivator saw this, he laughed loudly and rushed in. He was getting closer and closer to the Fire Spirit Fruit.
In midair, when Chen Xiao and the azure-clothed sword cultivator saw this, they felt great hatred in their hearts.
They never thought that while the two of them were fighting to the death, the third party would actually get ahead of them.
This kind of thing was absolutely not allowed.
The two of them looked at each other and instantly reached an agreement.
"Don't even think about getting ahead of us." Chen Xiao shouted.
"Get back here. This Fire Spirit Fruit is not yours." The azure-clothed sword cultivator at the side shouted angrily.
Immediately, the two of them attacked in succession, using long-range attacks to attack the middle-aged cultivator below.
The middle-aged cultivator was stunned. He felt as if a thorn was pricking his back. He sensed the dangerous aura and turned around to look. He was immediately shocked.
He was so angry that he flew into a rage, "You guys are courting death. Get lost."
He waved his large saber and released saber Qi, blocking in front of him, sweeping away the attacks of the two of them. Then, he slashed through the air. A three hundred meter long saber shadow swept past, slashing towards the two of them.
Boom.
Wherever the blade shadow passed, space was torn apart. The two of them were affected by the blade energy and had no choice but to avoid it.
