Chapter 588
The Long Live Tree was very fascinating . Each harvest from it would mean that it had accumulated enough and managed to make massive progress . Then, as it gave more fruit, its effect would improve as well . If the first harvest gave it intelligence, then this would be its second harvest .
On the tree, the red fruits could be seen changing into a fiery red shade soundlessly . Once they completed their transformation, they would be ripe for harvest . However, the four groups nearby was not looking at the fruits . Instead, they were looking at each other as the atmosphere grew more intense .
"Since there are four groups here, I think we should divide the fruits into four batches . Each group will get one fruit, how about that?" Tian Yinsou had been thinking of taking on the bulky middle-aged men so he could split the fruits between himself and Tai Shinchong but it seems he had left that train of thought to die a long time ago . With four groups present, there would always be another group that would push you into a corner regardless of who you attack, especially since nobody could know with absolute certainty the outcome should a battle break out . Even Tian Yinsou was slightly worried, which was why he made such a proposal — to reduce the risk as much as possible .
The bulky middle-aged looking man sneered, "Four batches . How convenient . Do you think we can't see what situation you're in? You're all alone and yet, you dare ask for an entire batch of fruit to yourself . How stupid do you think we are?"
"Indeed . You don't have the right to get the fruit . "
Hai Wuya's line of thinking was even more extreme . The Long Live Fruit's value could not be underestimated . With one person less to share the harvest, it would be better for the rest by leaps and bounds, especially since there were so many of them . In fact, there were already five people on Hai Wuya's side alone .
Tian Yinsou's expression darkened . "Despite decades having passed, some people still don't treat me as they should . I've reached the Seas of Soul Realms master level decades ago . That's a long time before you guys were even born . Since you lot don't think I should get one, then lets go at it with our own methods . May the best win . "
He did not realize that decades had passed and no one would recognize him . Even if they did, why would they be afraid of him?
"I agree . The most powerful one gets them all . "
Tai Shichong's voice sounded aloof and chilly . He did not like the idea of giving his Long Live Fruit since each of them by itself could bring a warrior's cultivation level from the peak of the early Seas of Souls Realm to the mid-rank . It would have a success rate of 90% to boot! However, should one want to reach the late realm from the peak of the Mid Seas of Souls Realm, a single fruit would only have a success rate of roughly thirty percent so he would need at least two to three fruits to be certain .
"I don't have a problem with that . "
Yan Fengfeng had speed on her side . Without any mishaps, she would be the one getting most of the fruits .
"Let's do this then . "
The bulky middle-aged man knew that this would the only solution .
It was settled . Everyone seemed to be safe for the time being as they looked back at the tree, waiting for it to fully mature before the fruits' eventual fall from the tree .
"One fruit would give me an 80% chance of reaching the mid-realm from the peak of the Early Seas of Soul realm . If I miss the action this time around, I might not be able to progress without a year or two of hard work . That alone is reason enough for me to want… no, need one of those fruits!"
Once one reached the Seas of Souls Realm, every single inch of progress would be incredibly hard to achieve . Ye Chen's training potential was not the best but instead, could only be described as being above average . The only reason he was able to reach the Seas of Souls Realm this fast was because of all the opportunities he had along with the talents of his soul .
If he was able to get just one fruit, he would be able to reach the mid-realm fairly easily and with his Heaven and Earth spirit pellet, he would be able to pull through to the peak of the next level . If that were the case, his overall power would not just increase by a little . In fact, he would be in a league of his own .
"I need one . "
As Ye Chen let out a gentle breath, his expression change to one of seriousness .
There were dozens of Long Live Fruits growing on the tree . Half of them were still light red in color which meant that they still had a ways to go before maturing . The other half, on the other hand, already had three of them changing to a fiery red which meant that they were just one step away from full maturity . In fact, one of the fruits was already shaking and looked like it was going to drop off at any moment .
Smack!
Finally, the Long Live Fruit fell down from the tree and landed onto the ground .
The strange thing was that nobody seemed to want to make the first move . They seemed to all be a little hesitant .
"Tian Yinsou, didn't you desperately want the Long Live Fruit? Go on, get one for yourself!" The bulky looking middle-aged man laughed at Tian Yinsou .
The later sneered, "I'll let you have the first one then, go on . "
"Really? You're going to be this nice to me?"
"Aren't you as well?"
On the other side of all this, Tai Shichong shot a glance at the fruits on the ground . His eyes had a glimmer to them before they eventually calmed down .
"No one seems to want to risk this!" one of the twins said .
"Who would dare to though? If the Long Live Tree still attacks the people who makes an attempt at getting close, then we'll all have to die and that's just for one fruit! It doesn't seem worth it at all . Right now, what we need is for someone to inspect it . As long as someone goes over there and picks up the fruit without being attacked by the tree, we'll know there's no danger to our life any longer . "
"Yeah, that's right . What do we do now then? Do we just wait forever?"
Over at Ye Chen's side, Hai Wuya was frowning . "The second fruit is about to drop as well but unfortunately, nobody wants to be the first to try . "
Ye Chen replied, "Being the first one to go might not be a good thing as well since they'd become everyone's main target . "
"Ye Chen is right . The first fruit…very dangerous indeed . " Yan Fengfeng nodded .
As time passed, there was still not a single one of them who would walk up to the tree . They all seemed to be waiting .
Caw!
Suddenly, a hysterical bird's cry was heard from above . As a massive grey eagle flew over, it would seem that its target was indeed the Long Live Fruit below .
Caw!
The grey eagle was extremely fast and it arrived under the Long Live Tree within a second . Its claw grabbed onto the fruit that fell onto the ground before shooting back up into the sky and into the distance .
"Come down here!"
