If it weren't for the newly acquired [Deep Analysis] skill, even with the relevant knowledge taught by Paglio, Chen Rui wouldn't be able to crack these mysteries. The loss of spirit overdraft for the past few days was finally worth it.
These inscriptions should be deeply engraved on the ground. Because of the long years, trees and plants had grown on them, but their power and function hadn't weakened at all. Instead, these plants could be used to produce more peculiar effects. This was the most mysterious ancient inscription of the Dragons.
There was insufficient light at night in the jungle. In some places, even the moonlight couldn't pass through. Chen Rui carefully followed the detection method taught by Paglio and finally succeeded in testing the safety point in the inscription. He passed through another "big tree".
However, this was just the beginning. Chen Rui could feel that there were still many hidden inscriptions in front. Coupled with the terrifying ghost dragon with unpredictable power, it could be said to be full of danger.
Since it was Chen Rui who discovered the mystery of the big tree, Athena didn't dare to move after being shouted. Chen Rui carefully walked in front of her, bent down, and looked carefully, "This is likely to have the power of 'expulsion'. If you take a few more steps, I don't know where you will be teleported to in the jungle. But we must pass it. Give me your hand, I'll walk in front. "
Athena didn't hesitate to hold Chen Rui's hand. When the two hands held together, both of them had a strange feeling in their hearts. Athena felt that her mind was a little blank for a while. After the blankness passed, it was a feeling that she had never experienced before. It was a little nervous and a little sweet. Although her face began to heat up again, she hoped to be held by him forever.
When Chen Rui first met Alice, they once held hands very "intimately", but he was tricked by the little loli. Athena's hand wasn't as smooth as Alice's, but her fingers and palms were slender and warmer. Although they were holding hands in this special situation, it was inevitable that he was a little distracted. However, his attention quickly shifted to the Dragon Inscription.
When passing through the inscription of "Banish", Chen Rui and Athena both felt a strong repulsive force flowing through their bodies. It was a bit like stepping on stone blocks and crossing a river step by step. If they were not careful, they would be washed away by the "river". After successfully passing through the inscription, Athena was completely convinced of Chen Rui's ability. In her opinion, this was definitely the key effect of a Great Grandmaster's Divine Sense. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been able to enter this place by herself.
She really didn't know how many more miracles this human man could create.
There was still danger ahead. Almost as if they had a tacit understanding, Chen Rui didn't let go of her hand, and Athena didn't intend to take it back either. The two of them continued forward hand in hand.
Chen Rui consecutively passed through the range of effect of several inscriptions, and he felt a little more confident. If it weren't for the threat of the ghost dragon, he could easily treat it as the Dragon Inscription exam before going to the Silent Night Wetland.
At that moment, there was a faint red light not far ahead. The two of them carefully approached and saw that it was a plant that was about one meter tall. There were barbs on the branches, and the leaves were purple. There were a few red round fruits on it that were glowing faintly.
Athena's red eyes flashed and she was highly focused. She carefully recalled the description of the devil fruit in the ancient book and finally confirmed that this was the treasure that the Demons dreamed of.
There were five or six fruits on this plant, and they looked like they had just ripened. The value of these fruits was almost incalculable with magic crystal coins for the Demons who weren't from the royal family. In the history of the Demons, there was a war between lords for the devil fruit.
As long as they ate one, there was a great chance that they could break through the limit of Higher Demon in the future and reach Demon King, Great Demon King or even higher!
Athena suppressed the excitement in her heart and didn't act rashly. Instead, she carefully sensed the surrounding situation. Unexpectedly, the "rumored" ghost dragon that wanted to devour the devil fruit was nowhere to be seen. As she was about to step forward, her hand was suddenly grabbed by Chen Rui, "I feel something is wrong. Don't rush!"
"Do you know? For the Demons who aren't from the royal family, no one can resist the temptation of the devil fruit. I must get it. "Athena gently pulled her hand out," If I don't seize the opportunity now, I'm afraid we'll all be in danger when the ghost dragon comes. "
After that, Athena carefully approached a few steps. After confirming that there was no danger, she tiptoed and leaped toward the devil fruit.
"Wait!" When Athena just stepped forward, Chen Rui suddenly remembered something. At this time, Athena just rose into the air to grab the devil fruit, but it was too late.
"Throw the sword out! Athena! Quick! "
Chen Rui's shout startled Athena. Out of trust, she had already entered the Great Demon's battle form in the air. She gritted her teeth and threw the greatsword toward the devil fruit.
Bang! Bang! Bang! With a series of explosions, the greatsword was blown apart. Athena's figure was blown back by the aftermath of the explosion. Before she landed, she was caught by Chen Rui.
The impact made Chen Rui take a few steps back, and he almost lost his balance. Athena in his arms returned to her human form. She was covered in blood, and there was a broken sword blade in her shoulder. Fortunately, the greatsword detonated the power of the runes in advance. Otherwise, Athena's result was likely to be the same as the broken sword.
Fortunately, the broken sword on the shoulder was partially blocked by the armor. Otherwise, her entire arm might be cut off. It was a blessing in misfortune.
Athena's body trembled involuntarily. Her face looked particularly pale under the moonlight. It was obvious that she was seriously injured.
"Athena!" Chen Rui felt a burst of regret. Why didn't he judge that there was a problem with the devil fruit earlier? There must be an inscription there, and the meaning was "Mirror Image and Explosion"!
The devil fruit was just a mirror image used as a bait. The real purpose was to explode the trap!
Athena only felt a burst of tearing pain all over her body. She almost didn't even have the strength to speak. She knew that if it wasn't for Chen Rui's reminder just now, she would have died. Seeing the human's worried look, she regretted it. "Sorry, I was too willful and didn't listen to your advice."
If she wasn't too impatient, not only would she not be injured now, but her hand should still be in the warm grasp of this man. Why didn't she trust him?
"What's the point of saying this now? Let me help you bandage it first." Chen Rui gently squatted down, took out a blanket from the space bracelet, put it on the ground, and then carefully put Athena on it. He gritted his teeth, pulled out the broken sword, opened the armor, sprinkled powder on the wound, bandaged it, and then exchanged a bottle of healing potion, pouring it into her mouth.
"Athena, I know the devil fruit is very important to you. It was my fault that I reacted too slowly just now and didn't notice the trap earlier. Don't worry, I will definitely help you get the fruit. You wait for me here, don't move. "
"Don't go …" Athena was shocked, showing a look of horror. "It's too dangerous here. I don't want the devil fruit anymore. Let's leave …"
"Believe me! Remember not to go away. There are dangerous traps everywhere. When I come back, I want to see you here! " Chen Rui squeezed her hand, then stood up, carefully looked at the ground, quickly walked to the other side, and disappeared from Athena's sight in the blink of an eye.
Athena's eyes were already red. For the first time in her life, she began to pray to the Demon God wholeheartedly for a man other than her father.
Chen Rui had already speculated the rough location of the real fruit from the mirror image just now. Perhaps it sensed that the explosion trap was triggered, the terrible roar began to sound again, as if warning people not to approach.
Chen Rui felt that the sound was getting closer and closer. He knew that he was going in the right direction, but he was worried that he would be noticed by this powerful ghost dragon, so he was careful all the way and didn't dare to make too much noise.
After a series of traps and bypassing the inscription of "Concealment and Teleportation", finally, a relatively open pile of stones appeared in front of him. Under a pile of stones, there was a plant that was exactly the same as the mirror image. It was the devil fruit. However, the most eye-catching thing was not the devil fruit with a faint red light, but a huge figure beside the fruit.
This was indeed a giant dragon. To be more precise, it was the skeleton of a giant dragon. However, the skeleton that was supposed to be dead was actually alive. Under the purple moonlight, the huge white skeleton was wrapped in a layer of strange luster. The two eyes that should have been empty were now glowing with a gloomy green light, making one's hair stand on end.
Chen Rui finally understood why this thing was called a ghost dragon.
Although the ghost dragon seemed to be extremely powerful, it did not notice the existence of Chen Rui. It roared into the sky again. Chen Rui was already relatively close. He felt that the sound carried a kind of intimidating coercion, and those who heard it would be terrified.
Chen Rui only felt this kind of similar coercion from Paglio. However, this ghost dragon's coercion was much worse than the poison dragon's, but he was sure that it was [Dragon Demeanor]!
Although the position of the ghost dragon at this time had not yet reached the effective range of [Analytical Eyes], Chen Rui did not dare to act rashly. The poison dragon once said that even a newborn baby dragon had the strength of a Demon King. Judging from the power of the inscription just now, it was estimated to have the strength of a Demon Emperor. It was far from what he could contend with at this time.
In this case, how can I get the devil fruit?
Chen Rui's mind turned and his eyes fell on the inscription behind him. The Dragon Inscription was not an intelligent "program". Unless it was a special inscription like a specific bloodline, otherwise, as long as someone triggered it, it would produce the corresponding effect, even if it was the owner who set them up.
Although Chen Rui's power could not set up a powerful inscription alone, with the Super System's current "cracking" of the Dragon Inscription, it was possible to create something that could induce and connect ready-made inscriptions.
The best solution was to use this string of [Teleportation] inscription to instantly transfer the ghost dragon to another place, then he could quickly evacuate with Athena.
The ghost dragon roared for a while, and it felt that there seemed to be no other disturbances. It immediately lowered its head, and the huge skull stopped above the devil fruit. The green light in the eyes of the ghost dragon began to move to its mouth. It slowly extended and fell on the devil fruit, just like a tongue. It looked particularly strange.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the right. The green light trembled and retracted. At this time, the dragon head turned to the other side, giving people a feeling that its reaction was a little slow.
The ghost dragon slowly walked a few steps in the direction of the noise and roared a few times. It was mixed with a powerful [Dragon Demeanor] that was full of warning and intimidation.
At this moment, a figure had appeared in front of the devil fruit like lightning. With a wave of his hand, all six fruits had disappeared.
