Either it was a natural death zone, or there was an extremely terrifying and powerful spirit beast nearby, which made other spirit beasts of all sizes afraid to approach. For everyone, neither was good news.
"Then … should we retreat for now?" Chu Tianlu was not sure.
"No need, there's no mistake, it's here." Lin Yi's tone was quite certain at the moment.
"Really?" Bing Wuqing and the others were stunned and confused. There was obviously nothing there, so how could he be so sure?
"Yes." Lin Yi nodded but did not explain. He could not explain, and he did not need to. After coming here, he clearly felt that the nine tumors of different sizes in his primordial spirit were gradually becoming peaceful. Even if he did not deliberately suppress them like he did outside, they would not cause trouble. It was obvious that there was something deliberately suppressing and alleviating them here.
According to the Sky-Devouring Giant Crocodile, since ordinary Spirit Knowledge Fruits could resolve the tumors of the primordial spirit, it was not surprising that the Heart of Spirit Knowledge Fruit, as the source of the essence, had this characteristic.
Of course, this was only speculation. Only by finding the Heart of Spirit Knowledge Fruit could they get the final confirmation.
They looked at each other, but since Lin Yi was so certain, they had no reason to doubt him and could only continue to explore deeper into the secret passage. Soon, there was a change in front of them. It was no longer a straight passage, but a long steep slope all the way down.
Lin Yi slid down without another word. Bing Wuqing and the others followed closely behind him. After half an incense stick's worth of time, the space in front of them suddenly opened up again. The space was more than ten times larger than the secret passageway just now, and right in the middle of the open space was a strangely shaped high platform.
Judging from the complex and abstruse patterns around it, it should be a special sacrificial altar, and the inexplicable force field that shielded divine senses was emitted from this high platform.
Looking at the scene on the sacrificial altar, everyone was stunned, including Lin Yi. He could not help but be a little stunned, and did not speak for a long time.
"It's actually true …" Zhang Qingfeng swallowed and murmured.
"So the Heart of Spirit Knowledge Fruit really exists!" Chu Tianlu also found it hard to believe. Although he had deduced all this from ancient books, he was not very confident in his reasoning. Now that he had suddenly verified it, he felt that it was unreal.
On the sacrificial platform, less than a foot away from the platform, a heart-shaped object was suspended in mid-air, exuding an inexplicable red light in all directions. Although the shape was different, looking at the pattern on its surface, it was exactly the same as a Spiritual Knowledge Fruit. At first glance, it was a large Spiritual Knowledge Fruit.
Without a doubt, this was the legendary Heart of Spirit Knowledge Fruit.
Zhang Qingfeng gulped down a few mouthfuls of saliva. He couldn't resist the temptation and subconsciously wanted to rush up, but he wasn't completely blinded by it. He only took two steps before retreating behind Lin Yi's group. He wanted to, but he didn't have the guts!
At this time, if he really dared to rush up and snatch the Heart of Spirit Knowledge Fruit, he would definitely be a dead man before he even touched it. Even Chu Tianlu would not help him, and he knew this much.
Zhang Qingfeng retreated, but Bing Wuqing walked over. She had no intention of snatching the Heart of Spirit Knowledge Fruit, but purely wanted to curry favor with Lin Yi and be the first to go up to the sacrificial altar to see what was going on.
"Wait." Lin Yi reached out to stop her.
"Boss, I don't want to …" Bing Wuqing hurriedly waved her hands to clarify. If Lin Yi misunderstood her as having ulterior motives, it would be a big loss.
"I know." Lin Yi, of course, understood what she meant. He shook his head and said, "Don't rush over, let's take a look first."
Only then did Bing Wuqing suddenly realize that she had been too impatient. What if there was danger? Even an ordinary Spirit Knowledge Fruit had the terrifying spirit protection of the Sky-Devouring Giant Crocodile, not to mention the Heart of Spirit Knowledge Fruit in front of her. How could it be so easily taken?
"Can you be sure?" Lin Yi turned to look at Chu Tianlu. Although no matter how he looked at it, there was no doubt that this should be the Heart of Spirit Knowledge Fruit, there was a precedent of an illusory worm disguising itself as a Spirit Knowledge Fruit, so it was hard to say that there was nothing fishy about this thing.
"There should be no mistake. Whether it is the shape, size, pattern of patterns, or especially the red light, everything is exactly the same as recorded in those ancient books. This is the Heart of Spirit Knowledge Fruit!" Chu Tianlu was now completely sure, and said excitedly, "According to the ancient books, the Heart of Spirit Knowledge Fruit is at least ten times more effective than ordinary Spirit Knowledge Fruits, or even a hundred times more effective!"
Although he knew that such a precious treasure had nothing to do with him even if he came across it, Chu Tianlu was still pleasantly surprised. After all, this was his discovery.
"Great!" Lin Yi was very excited to hear this. Even without the worry of the spirit tumor, a treasure like the Heart of Spirit Knowledge Fruit was enough to make anyone, including him, scramble like a flock of ducks. Not to mention that he could clearly feel its suppressive effect on the spirit tumor. In order to eliminate any future troubles, he had to get his hands on this thing no matter what.
This time, Lin Yi personally walked towards the sacrificial platform, while Chu Tianlu and Zhang Qingfeng stood aside sensibly. Even Bing Wuqing had no intention of following him. They were very clear that the treasures of heaven and earth belonged to the strong, and this Heart of Spirit Knowledge Fruit could only belong to Lin Yi alone.
However, Lin Yi did not let this get to his head, and he still maintained sufficient vigilance as he walked towards the sacrificial platform. Of course, with the jade pendant as a warning, he did not need to be overly cautious.
Unexpectedly, there was no danger in front of him. At least, there was nothing that could threaten Lin Yi, because the jade pendant did not give any warning from beginning to end.
Bing Wuqing and the others watched as Lin Yi got closer and closer to the sacrificial platform. Each of them had mixed feelings, and they did not know whether they were disappointed or excited. However, just when they thought that Lin Yi would unhesitatingly take the Heart of Spirit Knowledge Fruit, Lin Yi suddenly stopped three feet away from the sacrificial platform.
It was not the jade pendant that warned him, but Lin Yi himself was a little puzzled. Since the Heart of Spirit Knowledge Fruit was so magical, why didn't the Giant Sky-Devouring Crocodile come and snatch it?
Logically, the Giant Sky-Devouring Crocodile, which was plagued by the spirit tumor, should have spared no expense to obtain it. Moreover, since it had been here for so many years, there was no reason for it not to know about the existence of the Heart of Spirit Knowledge Fruit. There was no danger along the way. Was it stupid?
