Chapter 36: True Feelings Revealed in Adversity, Ten Great Strange Fruits! Worry-Free
I'm going crazy! This perverted blood hell... What kind of shortcut for the strong is this, it's clearly a gate to hell!
If it were just a lone Lycanthrope, Zhuo Yifan would have had enough confidence to resist, but facing the siege of the wolf pack, with his current strength, fighting alone against the group was simply absurd.
To know, these are all kinds of strange creatures that are not afraid of being hurt by fists and feet.
Moreover, the Wolf King's body is too large, and even with the Fearful Gaze, it's impossible to accurately stare into its eyes. Its attack is also off the charts, with razor-sharp claws as long as 20 cm, each swipe dealing damage equivalent to 25 elephants! It deals three times more damage than a regular skeletal werewolf.
Even if his own iron arm could withstand it, the music stone beside him would only be pierced by this claw.
A white shadow flashed, spewing out a cold gust of air, wrapping the sharp blade's sword energy around the wolf king's leg and striking it with two consecutive slashes, causing two metallic collisions.
The Wolf King was clearly in pain, let out a roar, but never gave Zhuo Yifan another chance to strike with his sword. The terrifying wolf claws transformed into deadly black arcs that stabbed directly at him.
Before he could think, Zhuo Yifan shouted loudly: "Danger!"
He pushed the harmonica away.
A huge six-fingered palm glowing with blood light heavily slapped on Zhuo Yifan's arm.
"Boom!"
Zhuo Yifan activated the thirty-layered Elephant Skin defense of his Iron Arm, and barely blocked this attack. His legs were slapped into the ground by the giant claws, creating a massive spider web-like crack in the earth. Pebbles flew everywhere as the ground violently shook.
"Ahhh!!!"
The Werewolf King let out a pained howl as it took the recoil of Iron Arm's counterattack, and it didn't feel good either.
Ferocious and terrifying, the seven orifices, black gas rolling, another slap came down, the incoming force stabbed Zuo Yifan's face with a sharp pain, and the rest of the wolf people were excitedly howling.
Zhuo Yifan gritted his teeth, enduring the internal shock, and with one foot on Yue Shi's back, he sprang up into the air. His enchanting purple eyes flickered in an instant.
In an instant, the wolf king's massive body convulsed violently, its red pupils shrinking rapidly as if it had seen something in its deepest memories that it feared the most. The yellow spiritual energy on its two paws disappeared, and it frantically pounded its own head, letting out a frantic wail to the sky before finally stiffening in place, motionless.
"Run fast!" Zhuo Yifan's expression was tense, he knew this stalemate wouldn't last more than ten breaths. One of the rolling men landed on the ground, let out a loud roar and sprinted forward wildly.
The group of skeletal wolfmen behind saw the Wolf King in trouble, howling and barking, thinking that the Wolf King had encountered an accident, instantly losing their intention to chase, and anxiously surrounded the Wolf King.
At this moment, Zhuo Yifan's eyes were already a bit dizzy. When facing people or spiritual beasts with higher soul quality than himself, the consumption of using the Fearful Pupil was even greater. Originally, he could use it ten times, but the last hit just now had consumed five times the amount.
He disregarded his nearly exhausted physical strength and crazily shuttled back and forth in the forest, finally arriving at a pool of water, where he saw a waterfall.
At the same time, I made up my mind that I must quickly improve the quality of my soul, otherwise, if I continue like this, I won't even be able to save my own life, let alone become stronger.
"I'm telling you, it's true! What just happened to that werewolf king? He suddenly stopped moving. What did you do?"
"It doesn't matter."
Zhuo's lazy and careless response, the fierce battle in the Blood Prison, was much more exhausting than he had imagined. "I underestimated you. Your realm is one stage lower than mine, but your speed and strength are comparable to mine. If there wasn't wolf poison in your body, it would be even more terrifying. How did you know there's a waterfall here and a cave behind?"
Leishi Qianxu smiled: "I've liked hunting since I was young, and in the jungle, there's more or less this kind of judgment ability. My physical strength is also tempered from years of training in the jungle. As for my power, it's probably because I accidentally ate a spiritual fruit called 'Brute Strength Fruit'."
"Barbaric Fruit?" Zhuo Yifan was astonished. This legendary strange fruit actually existed?!
This is one of the top ten super-fruits on the continent of Galan, known as the "Berserk Fruit"! It has no growth pattern and can only be obtained by chance. Legend has it that eating the Berserk Fruit will permanently increase one's strength threefold.
If that's the case, it's not hard to explain why Leishi can only exert the terrifying power of the Ten Images in the early stages of the Innate Spiritual Realm and with a low-quality soul. If the Wolf Poison is removed, it will be even more severe!
"This guy is too lucky, isn't he?"
There's no use comparing people; it's frustrating.
Zhuo Yifan originally thought he was already strange enough. Unexpectedly, he encountered another monster. Within the same realm, his power was three times greater than others. What kind of freak was this?
In the midst of the roaring water, the two had already passed through the waterfall. Both were drenched from head to toe, with the wind blowing against their ears and their clothes clinging tightly to their skin.
"It's a good thing I had the foresight to buy this waterproof snake skin bag, otherwise everything inside would have gotten wet." Zhuo Yifan casually wiped away the water droplets on his short black hair, furrowed his brow and muttered to himself. Then he opened the bag and checked his personal belongings.
"The Blood Prison Record", Spirit Gathering Pill, Wind Shadow Step Scroll, All Things Pointing Canonical Scripture, water, and dry rations. Only after confirming each item did he put his mind at ease, but his complexion remained poor, the recent consumption was really too great.
"How are you? You look tired." At this time, Leishi's voice came, and there were some square white wild fruits in his arms, "There are some fruits in the cave, I picked some, you have seen a lot, take a look if they are poisonous."
"I'm fine, I'll be okay in a bit."
The fruit emitted a refreshing fragrance that could be smelled from afar. Zhuo Yifan answered while packing up the items, turning his head and narrowing his eyes to take a glance, revealing a surprised expression: "This is a White Lotus Fruit! Could it be that you're naturally able to attract rare fruits? First, it was the Brutal Fruit, and now the White Lotus Fruit?... If you can neutralize the poison, you should be able to smoothly unleash three times your power. The Power of the Fifteen Symbols!"
"Since I was young, my dad said I'm a lucky charm, wherever I go, there's good fortune." Le Shi rubbed his head and burst out laughing.
"Alright, alright. If you were lucky, how would you have been poisoned by the wolf's toxin and then attracted the Wolf King? I almost got killed because of you. But looking at your thick skin, you should be fine." Zhuo Yifan sighed helplessly.
Leshi stood up and said with a smile: "You should be grateful that the Blood Prison Gate didn't throw us both into the depths of the forest."
Through thick and thin, that's when you see people's hearts. After barely escaping death, the trust between the two of them has solidified a lot.
Trust may not be a big deal, but in a place like Blood Prison, it's undoubtedly a rare treasure. You know, being able to meet comrades who share the same aspirations and values in such a harsh environment is truly a fortunate thing.
Zhuo Yi Fan picked up a white lotus fruit, holding it in his hand. The cube-shaped strange shape was crystal clear and very tempting. It was small in size, and when he put it in his mouth, the fragrance overflowed, and it felt like cotton candy as he bit into it. The juice was extremely abundant, and it instantly refreshed him a lot.
"What a delicious fruit." Leishi and Zhuoyi were extremely happy, opening their mouths wide to take big bites, with juice dripping from the corners of their mouths.
The White Lotus Fruit is a special fruit that can cure Wolf Poison, it also has the effect of refreshing one's mind and spirit, but eating too much of it is not good. Leishi picked over ten of them, but in the end only ate four. Zhuo Yifan ate two.
After that, the two people lit a fire in the cave and roasted their clothes before starting to chat. From small family trivia to big future ideals.
Like Zhuo Yifan, Leishi also came to the Blood Prison to become stronger and make his family's name shine. The Le family of Beiyu City was a small, unremarkable clan that had been passed down for generations with only one heir each time, and this time they had even used their ancestral treasure as an offering to send Leishi to the Blood Prison, which could be said to have cost them dearly.
After going through this escape, the two people had a deeper understanding of the Blood Prison. They felt that this Blood Prison was absolutely not as simple as it seemed!
"In order to enter this Blood Prison, my father also collected a lot of information. I heard that there are indigenous people in the Blood Prison, if we can find them, maybe we can solve our mystery." Leishi let out a light breath and said solemnly.
"If there really are indigenous people, we will meet them sooner or later. Combining the two of our information, I think this forest is just a part of the Blood Prison, and the real benefits can only be known after breaking out of the forest."
"No matter what, now the only way to survive is the king's way! I can only win! I cannot lose! I must become stronger!" Yue Shi clenched his fist, and a fighting spirit ignited in his eyes.
"Let's work together!" The faint echo was transmitted from the dark cave illuminated by the fiery light, and Zhuo Yifan's small face was filled with excitement.
Two men's fists collided with each other. They threw back their heads and burst out laughing.
After a brief silence, the two people began to think about their plans for the next day.
"Did you hear the noise outside? It's a human voice!"
Just as they were discussing food and water, Leishi suddenly perked up his ears.
He is a professional hunter, very sensitive to sound, and can capture even the slightest rustling of grass in the wind.
"Have you met fellow travelers?"
Zhuo Yifan was slightly startled and listened carefully. Sure enough, he heard a faint whispering sound outside the pouring silver chain.
But the sound was drowned out by the thunderous roar of the water column, making it difficult to hear the content of the conversation.
Who is it?
Lei Shi suddenly stood up, his eyes wide open, listening to this familiar voice, his fists clenched with a cracking sound. "It's Xue Shikai! That bunch of bastards has finally arrived! I wonder how many people are left in his team? How many more have been pushed out as cannon fodder?"
