Chapter 66 The Spiritual Secrets of Heaven and Earth!
The mountain wind suddenly changed.
The night wind was originally cool, and as it passed through the forest, there was only the rustling sound of branches and leaves rubbing together. But after that low roar, the Crimson Glow Spirit Fruit on the cliff seemed to be startled, and the crimson luster on its surface suddenly became even brighter.
A unique fragrance wafted out.
It's very light.
At first, it was just a sweet scent like that of a ripe fruit being broken open, but soon the fragrance spread with the mountain wind, through the mist, across the ridge, and finally could be clearly smelled even from where Su Ye and Li Tong were.
Li Tong's throat bobbed slightly.
He only took one sniff, and his heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.
Boom!
The fire element in his chest seemed to be hooked by something, his blood suddenly heated up, and even his fingertips felt slightly numb.
"Boss..."
Li Tong's voice sounded strained.
Su Ye did not respond; his gaze remained fixed on the fruit.
On the surface of the fruit, wisps of crimson divine light began to spread outwards. The light was not dazzling, but extremely brilliant, like the last layer of fiery clouds on the horizon at dusk that had been pressed into the fruit peel and was now slowly shining through.
The mist at the edge of the cliff was tinged with a pale red.
The swaying trees made even the surrounding rocks seem to be coated with a warm, rosy hue.
The Crimson Cloud Spirit Fruit is about to ripen!
Su Ye's spiritual power spread out.
The next moment, he clearly felt the mountain move.
One.
two.
three.
Three completely different auras approached simultaneously from three directions.
The first thing to appear was a thin flash of lightning that made the air scorch. Then, from the depths of the fog, a huge centipede crawled out of the forest.
Its body was almost as thick as an old tree, its carapace was dark brown, and blue-purple arcs of electricity flowed between each segment of its body. Countless limbs scratched at the rocks, making a teeth-grinding friction sound.
Click.
The surface of the rocks was instantly scorched by the electric light, cracks burst open from the edges, and rubble rolled down.
"Dude, what's that? Where can you find a centipede that big???"
Li Tong's face turned pale instantly. He had never seen anything like this before. The creatures in the mist seemed to open up a mysterious world, unknown and inexplicable by common sense.
Su Ye did not answer, his gaze fixed on the mountaintop.
On the other side of the forest, several trees as thick as bowls suddenly shook in unison, and the thunderous footsteps shook the heart. The next moment, a huge black bear squeezed out of the woods.
This black bear was frighteningly tall, with a bulging back and shoulders. Its entire body was covered with a thick, jet-black hide, and its heavy fur, as heavy as a rainy night, clung to its body, yet gleamed with a metallic sheen. With each step it took, the ground trembled slightly, and when its front paws landed, several old trees in front of it snapped in two, sending dust flying.
Sensing the threat, the thunder centipede suddenly raised its front half of its body.
A burst of lightning suddenly erupted.
boom!
A bolt of lightning struck the black bear's shoulder. The bear only swayed slightly, and a wisp of smoke rose from its shoulder. Its skin was thick and tough, with amazing defensive capabilities. Its flesh was as hard as metal. It roared and swung its thick forepaws, but instead of hitting the centipede, it smashed a huge boulder.
Gravel flew everywhere.
Electricity flickered between the stone chips.
The moment the two evolved creatures met, they had already torn the surrounding terrain to shreds.
Li Tong felt a chill run down his spine.
Fortunately, he didn't rush forward when he first discovered the fruit. If he had been tempted by his desires and greed, he would probably have been easily torn to pieces by these creatures!
Before he could recover from the shock, a sharp cry suddenly came from above.
Su Ye looked up.
Above the fog, a dark shadow swept past the edge of the clouds.
It was a large bird with an extremely long wingspan and deep black feathers with a cold, hard gray sheen at the edges. It hovered above the mountain peak, its eyes blood red, its gaze fixed on the Crimson Glow Spirit Fruit on the cliff edge. With each flap of its wings, it would create a powerful gust of air, tearing open gaps in the mountain mist.
A third evolved creature has appeared!
They are the contenders for the Spirit Fruit!
The Thunder Centipede was the first to move.
Its massive body suddenly contracted, then shot out like a bent electric cable, heading straight for the black bear. Dozens of pairs of limbs gripped the ground simultaneously, and arcs of electricity exploded along the rocks, instantly filling the air with the smell of burning.
The black bear roared and charged straight at the bear.
boom!
The giant hand slammed down, colliding with the forebody of the Thunder Centipede.
A burst of lightning illuminated half of the mountaintop.
The black bear's iron-skinned chest was scorched several times by the lightning arc, but it also smashed the Thunder Centipede's body sideways with a single blow, crushing large swaths of rocks and sending dust and mist swirling up.
The large bird in the sky seized the opportunity and suddenly swooped down.
Instead of attacking the two ferocious beasts, it went straight for the Crimson Cloud Spirit Fruit.
Blood-red eyes lit up in the mist, and two sharp claws emerged, like two hooks, almost instantly sweeping across the edge of the cliff.
But the Thunder Centipede reacts extremely quickly.
As it was knocked back by the black bear, it suddenly swung its tail, sending a bolt of lightning sweeping across the sky.
Zizizi!
The large bird let out a sharp cry and abruptly rose into the air. Its belly feathers were charred black by the electric arc, and a few drops of blood fell from the sky.
Li Tong's face was pale.
This fruit attracted more than just him.
It also attracted real monsters.
Those three evolved creatures all possess world-destroying power!
"Su... Boss Su, should we still pick these?"
Su Ye looked at the chaotic mountain peak ahead, but his expression remained calm.
He didn't rush to make a move.
Until the three evolved creatures were completely locked in combat, the gap around the Crimson Glow Spirit Fruit was finally torn open for a moment.
Su Ye suddenly spoke.
"It's time."
Li Tong was taken aback.
"Stay here and don't move."
Su Ye's voice was not loud, but it was undeniable.
The next moment, Su Ye had already walked forward.
The mountain terrain was muddy and slippery after the rain, but his steps were extremely steady. With each step, his movements were incredibly fast. Li Tong only felt a blur before his eyes, and Su Ye had already crossed a patch of gravel and appeared at the edge of the battlefield.
The Thunder Centipede was the first to notice him, its cold eyes flashing with disdain. Where did this human come from? With such a weak body, he was nothing but an ant, yet he dared to meddle with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Its massive forequarters suddenly rose, dozens of arcs of electricity lit up along its carapace, and then crashed down on Su Ye.
The electric light illuminated Su Ye's face.
He raised his hand.
Fingers slightly closed.
Picking a flower!
boom!
In that instant, the energy at his fingertips became extremely condensed, as if he had compressed an entire expanse of water into a single point, and embedded within it a wisp of newly cultivated metal energy.
hum!
The air suddenly jolted.
The oncoming lightning was shattered by that blow, and the blue-purple lightning exploded into countless tiny points of light in mid-air, like a reversed rain of fire.
The Thunder Centipede's body froze in mid-air for a moment, and for the first time, a reaction of near-fear appeared in its small, cold compound eyes.
That attack just now made it sense a destructive aura.
But Su Ye didn't give it a chance to continue reacting.
He took a step and closed in.
The black bear pounced at that moment.
It clearly didn't understand the concept of observation; it only knew that the human in front of it was also approaching the fruit. So, its massive body rushed forward with heavy wind pressure, and with one palm, the air became stuffy.
Su Ye sidestepped.
The giant hand slammed into the ground, denting the rocks and causing mud and water to explode.
This black bear's defense is incredibly strong. The lightning bolts from the Thunder Centipede hadn't really hurt it, but Su Ye only needed to glance at it to find its weakest point.
call.
He let out a breath.
Deep within the lungs, the golden breath suddenly trembled.
A thin golden ray of light escaped from his mouth.
Whoosh!
The golden light wasn't thick, but it was incredibly fast, instantly slicing across the junction of the black bear's shoulder and neck.
puff!
The black bear's thick, iron-like hide split open.
Fresh blood gushed out.
It roared in pain, its massive body suddenly taking half a step back, and fear finally showed in its eyes.
High in the sky, the large bird seized the opportunity and swooped down.
Its goal is not the fruit.
It was Su Ye.
This large bird was extremely fast. After folding its wings, its entire figure almost turned into a black line as it swooped down from above, its sharp claws aimed at the back of Su Ye's neck.
However, in Su Ye's mental perception, it had never been able to hide successfully from the very beginning.
Su Ye didn't even look up.
Just as the claws were about to strike, he shifted his body slightly to the side.
The large bird's attack grazed his shoulder, its sharp claws tearing through the air, but it only caught a fleeting afterimage.
Su Ye threw a backhand punch, compressing and unleashing his power!
The shot landed at the base of the bird's left wing.
Click!
The sound of bones cracking was crisp and piercing.
The giant bird let out a mournful cry, its left wing collapsed on the spot, and black feathers mixed with blood fell from the sky. Its massive body lost its balance and crashed heavily to the ground.
boom!
Dust flew up.
The blood fell onto the gravel and was quickly swallowed by the mist.
Su Ye joined the battlefield in an instant and immediately crushed the entire field!
Su Ye's indifferent voice echoed between heaven and earth.
"However, for beasts undergoing their first marrow cleansing, this spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not something you can seize."
The three evolved creatures trembled with fear.
Li Tong stood at a distance, completely frozen in place.
He watched as the three ferocious beasts that had been suffocating him just moments before were easily defeated by Su Ye, and only one thought remained in his mind.
Is this even human?
