"The spirit fruits are about to ripen!"
Cries of surprise rang out from somewhere in the crowd. The moment the cries fell, the atmosphere in the crowd became extremely heated. Countless pairs of eyes stared fixedly at the ten spirit fruits on the vine. Almost all of their eyes were shining with a green light.
"Boom …!"
However, just as the crowd was in a frenzy, the huge commotion around the isolated island finally brought the geniuses back to their senses. Even if the spirit fruits were about to ripen, they could not be casually picked. The spirit beasts in the lake were not insignificant characters. If they were not careful, even the geniuses like them could die.
Furthermore, in addition to guarding against the spirit beasts, they also had to be wary of the other geniuses around them. In fact, from a certain point of view, the other geniuses were even more dangerous than the ferocious beasts in the lake!
Therefore, in addition to the heated atmosphere in the crowd, there was also a strange atmosphere that gradually grew. Apart from fellow disciples from the same faction, everyone was extremely wary of each other.
However, no matter how cautious they were, when someone saw that the spirit beasts in the lake were unable to restrain themselves and suddenly jumped up to devour the spirit fruits on the isolated island, he finally could not suppress the desire in his heart. He suddenly shot up and rushed towards the lake.
However, the moment he rushed into the lake, his originally flying body suddenly sank into the water. After that, he could no longer jump up and could only move forward.
This sudden situation seemed to have startled this genius. However, as a genius from a third-rate faction, he was naturally extraordinary. He quickly accepted this situation and continued to swim forward.
At the same time, the giant beast that was biting the spirit fruits was extremely fast. It was almost about to touch them. However, the situation that everyone expected did not happen. The giant beast that was about to bite the spirit fruits was hit hard. Its huge body immediately fell back into the lake, causing a huge wave to rise.
After the giant beast fell back into the lake, the crowd realized that a slender vine was slowly retracting and wrapping around the body of the giant beast.
Obviously, it was this vine that had repelled the giant beast!
As if to prove this point, several giant beasts suddenly rushed up and opened their bloody mouths to bite the strange spirit fruits that they had been coveting for a long time.
However, just as these Spirit Beasts were about to touch the Spirit Fruits, slender vines suddenly shot out. The small vines swept down, but the power that erupted was extremely terrifying. It forcibly swept away the huge Spirit Beasts one after another.
This included the impulsive Heaven's Pride from the third-rate forces. When he attempted to rush onto the island, a vine swept towards him at lightning speed. Even though he used his spiritual energy to block it, he was immediately swept away and fell into the lake in a sorry state.
Their failure seemed to have angered the spirit beasts. Seeing that they were unable to eat the spirit fruit, they turned their large and cold eyes towards the genius from the third-rate force.
The situation after that was easy to imagine. Even though this prodigy was not weak and had a fourth level elixir cultivation, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands. He was besieged by so many spirit beasts, and very soon, a miserable howl was heard. Then, bright red blood stained the surface of the lake, and the disgusting sound of chewing and tearing could be heard.
Although the crowd frowned slightly at this scene, none of them sympathized with the Heaven's Pride from the third-rate force.
He was the one who was stupid. He could not resist the temptation and tried to take the initiative to snatch the spirit fruit. Who could he blame for ending up like this?
He looked at the isolated island in the middle of the lake, or more precisely, at the strange plant. Even Yan Chutian, as one of the Ten Great Prodigies, had never seen such a strange Spirit Plant.
Generally speaking, if a Spirit Plant wanted to attack, it had to have some spiritual intelligence. However, for a Spirit Plant to have spiritual intelligence, it had to grow for countless years.
For a Spirit Plant that had grown for countless years to reach the point of spiritual intelligence, even if it was originally an ordinary plant, it should have at least evolved to the Divine Grade.
However, the strange Spirit Plant in front of him had obviously not reached the Divine Grade. Without reaching the Divine Grade, how could it have spiritual intelligence and launch an attack?
This made Yan Chutian puzzled. In the end, he could only helplessly attribute it to the special environment here. After all, the Myriad Stars Valley was connected to the strange layer between the Central Plains and the outside world. Even if this was only the periphery of the Myriad Stars Valley, it might be affected to some extent.
However, it was also because of this that Yan Chutian looked forward to the Spirit Fruit even more. If he could get one, he might be able to use it to break through to the fourth level of the Elixir State!
However, in the current situation, Yan Chutian also understood that it was not easy to snatch the Spirit Fruit. Not to mention that there were so many Prodigies around, it was not easy to snatch the Spirit Fruit from the Spirit Beasts and Spirit Plants in the lake alone.
While Yan Chutian was thinking, even though these Prodigies were very cautious, they could not suppress the throbbing in their hearts. At the same time, the Spirit Beasts in the lake were also constantly trying to swallow the Spirit Fruit. There were several times when they seemed to be about to succeed!
Then, when some people rushed into the lake, the remaining Prodigies finally did not stop and used their own methods to rush into the lake.
However, no matter which Prodigy they were from, even if they were the best Prodigies in the second-rate forces, they all fell into the water one after another as if the sky above the lake had been sealed and no one was allowed to fly.
After that, the situation in the lake became extremely chaotic. Spirit beasts and geniuses continuously tried to snatch the spirit fruits. In between, there were even spirit beasts attacking geniuses, and geniuses killing spirit beasts. The surface of the lake constantly turned red, and it was very bloody.
Especially when one of the geniuses actually obtained a Spirit Fruit, the competition became even more intense. Even if this Prodigy had an extraordinary background, under the pincer attack of countless other Prodigies and Spirit Beasts, he was unable to protect the Spirit Fruit. In the end, he ended up in a sorry state and was seriously injured.
Looking at the tragic scene in the lake, Yan Chutian, who was still watching from the shore, could not help but feel a little anxious. From the situation just now, it seemed that the Spirit Fruit was not impossible to obtain. Even if the strange Spirit Plant was tightly guarded, there would still be a gap.
In particular, Yan Ningzhu secretly approached from the other side. At this time, there were very few Prodigies on the shore. Although the female cultivators of the Hundred Flower Palace looked delicate, they were all more ruthless than men when they fought. Therefore, the only Hundred Flower Palace disciple left on the shore was Yan Ningzhu.
"I have a way to temporarily suppress the Spirit Plant's attack, but I can't be sure how long it will be suppressed. It might only be for a few breaths."
Hearing Yan Ningzhu's words, Yan Chutian, who was originally waiting for an opportunity to fish in troubled waters, immediately had his eyes light up. If Yan Ningzhu could really temporarily control the Spirit Plant's attack, even if it was only for a few breaths, it would be enough.
However, Yan Chutian and Qiu Yu trusted Yan Ningzhu, but Luo Xue obviously did not. She looked at Yan Ningzhu with a cold and scrutinizing gaze. She did not know why she would suddenly approach and say such words.
