"Looks like this kid does have some tricks up his sleeve. To be able to find a Tree of Treasured Meat in such a huge forest is no easy feat."
A candidate from the Jizhou region stared at Xia Ping and the others with a glint in his eyes.
"Hmph, it's just an unorthodox method. In the end, a true martial artist is still determined by their martial strength. Everything else is meaningless." The candidate in black laughed coldly and stared at Xia Ping with a gloomy expression.
However, he didn't show it on his face. He just watched from the side, but his mind was filled with all sorts of evil schemes.
"Big Brother, you're too awesome!"
Feng Hetang was overjoyed and shouted, "If you can even find a tree like the Tree of Treasured Meat, what else can't you do? With these gemstone fruits, we won't have to worry about hunger anymore."
Jiang Yaru and the others were also overjoyed. They wanted to immediately get their hands on these gemstone fruits and have a feast.
"Don't rush."
Xia Ping waved his hand to stop them. He stared at the Tree of Treasured Meat and didn't act rashly.
"Big Brother, is there danger in there?" Feng Hetang swallowed his saliva. He suddenly remembered what had happened at the lake. That incident still left a lingering fear in his heart.
Xia Ping didn't say anything. He found a watermelon-sized rock on the ground and threw it over with a whoosh.
Just as the rock was about to hit the Tree of Treasured Meat, two or three nearby trees covered in thorns immediately shook.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
In an instant, dozens of thorns erupted from these trees. Each thorn was as hard as steel and incomparably sharp. They tore through the air with an ear-piercing sound.
With a bang, the watermelon-sized rock was hit by the thorns and was instantly torn to pieces. It fell to the ground and scattered everywhere.
This scene made one's hair stand on end, and a chill ran down the soles of their feet.
"This, this!"
Feng Hetang was dumbfounded. He didn't think that stepping on the gemstone fruits would be so dangerous. If he had rashly stepped in, his whole body would have been turned into a beehive.
The candidate in black and the others were also shocked. Fortunately, they had learned their lesson. Even though they knew there was a treasure in front of them, they didn't act rashly. Otherwise, they would have suffered many casualties.
"That's a thorn tree!"
Nangong Wu said in a deep voice, "This is a strange tree that coexists with the Precious Meat Tree. It's equivalent to a guard. Any creature that dares to approach the Precious Meat Tree to pick its fruits will be shot to death by the thorns."
"It's said that this is one of the Treasure Meat Tree's methods of hunting. It uses the fragrance of its fruits to attract monsters over, and then they will fall into the trap and be killed by the Thorn Thorn Tree."
"The flesh and blood left behind by the dead monsters will seep into the earth and become nutrients for the Precious Meat Tree."
"It can be said that this is a man-eating tree. It is extremely dangerous!"
What?!
Feng Hetang was dumbfounded. "There are hundreds of thorn trees around here. If these strange trees burst out at the same time and shoot out thorns, it would be like a laser gun. Even a Martial Warrior would be shot into a beehive."
"If that's the case, how are we going to pick these Treasure Flesh Fruits?"
He looked around and saw that the Tree of Treasured Meat was surrounded by thorny trees. These strange trees were like loyal guards protecting the surroundings.
Once they got close to their alert range, they would be killed by the thorns in an instant.
Moreover, these thorns were extremely terrifying. The speed at which they shot out was no less than a bullet. If an ordinary martial artist stepped into this range and was shot randomly, they would probably die without a doubt.
"This is simply the moon in the water, the flower in the mist, how are we going to pick it?" The examinees from Jizhou District were also stunned. There was clearly food in front of them, but they couldn't get it. There was nothing more depressing than this.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Immediately, Jiang Yaru, Chu Rong, and Nangong Wu all looked at Xia Ping. If there was anyone present who could pick this fruit, it would probably be Xia Ping.
"Leave it to me."
Xia Ping looked at the trees in front of him indifferently. Although these thorny trees were very powerful, they couldn't break through the defense of his Northern Dark Body Protection Technique. He even knew Kun Peng Steps.
Once he used this step, those thorns couldn't get close to him. He was fearless.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Xia Ping walked forward and stepped into the defense range of the thorny trees.
Rumble ~ ~
Suddenly, hundreds of thorny trees were shaking wildly, as if they were enraged. They didn't expect that a creature would be so bold and dare to break into their territory.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
In a few breaths, hundreds of black streamers appeared, tearing through the air, producing a sound of breaking through the air, and blasting towards Xia Ping. There was almost no gap, and they wanted to beat Xia Ping into a beehive.
However, Xia Ping was unmoved, as if he was strolling leisurely, his feet took a strange step, his body seemed to be equipped with the wings of Kun Peng, and many figures of Xia Ping appeared on the ground.
Bang bang bang!!!
The thorns that were shot fell into the air and smashed into the open ground, creating a terrifying deep pit. The soil splashed, and the ground shook and roared.
Huge rocks weighing hundreds of tons were also hit and shattered in an instant. The gravel was like bullets, scattering in all directions, and the smoke and dust billowed.
Trees that were hundreds of meters high and could only be hugged by five or six people were hit. The whole tree broke and collapsed from a high place. It was like a storm, sweeping around, and the ground was in a mess.
"Big Brother is too strong."
Feng Hetang was dumbfounded. Under such a fierce attack, any martial artist would probably die, but Xia Ping seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll, easily passing through. These thorns couldn't hurt him in the slightest.
Jiang Yaru and the others were also shocked. Only now did they truly feel Xia Ping's strength. Just with this kind of step, who could beat him? Even wanting to hit Xia Ping was an extravagant hope.
In a few breaths, Xia Ping arrived at the Precious Meat Tree. He reached out and plucked two watermelon-sized gemstone fruits.
Just as he was about to turn back and pass through the thorny tree's attack zone again, a cold and cruel voice suddenly rang out, like a cold wind blowing, "Shoot him!"
The person who spoke was the black-clothed candidate. His face was ferocious, and he looked extremely cruel.
At this moment, two or three candidates from the Jizhou district immediately walked out. They all sneered, took out a treasured bow, nocked an arrow, and immediately shot at Xia Ping.
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
More than ten arrows shot out. They were like sniper bullets, extremely fast. They tore through the air, carrying with them a sinister aura that could kill.
They wanted to kill Xia Ping without mercy.
"What are you doing?!"
Jiang Yaru shouted angrily. She was shocked and angry. Even if you beat her to death, she would never have thought that the Jizhou region's candidates would be so ruthless.
