"Devil fruit!" Athena could hardly believe her eyes. She blinked hard and looked again. It was really the devil fruit.
This man once again created a miracle. Not only did he return unscathed from the ghost dragon's hands, but he also got the devil fruit!
"These are all for you!" Chen Rui had already tried it. The devil fruit couldn't be converted by aura, and he didn't know if it had any effect on the human body. So, he might as well be generous for once. However, even if it could be converted, he had already made up his mind to leave half for Athena.
Athena held six fruits that were priceless in the eyes of the Demons. She looked at Chen Rui who was smiling, and her eyes were a little red. At this moment, she had completely confirmed her thoughts. The shadow that was both brave and wise before facing the poison dragon, the shadow that was humorous and knowledgeable when talking, and the shadow that was wise when planning and calculating all overlapped in the smile just now. Compared with this smile, the devil fruit was really nothing.
"Thank you." Athena didn't say anything else.
"I remember when I said thank you not long ago, you drew your sword." Chen Rui said with a smile. Suddenly, he grabbed a shadow that was about to jump to Athena's palm. "Dodo, this is Athena's fruit. Don't touch it!"
Athena looked at the translucent onion that appeared in Chen Rui's hand in surprise. She didn't expect that she didn't notice this thing in advance with her perception. The onion even made a flattering voice, "Great master, Dodo only wants one, okay?"
Athena had recovered from a certain emotion and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"This is the true face of the ghost dragon …" Chen Rui told her about Dodo. Of course, he hid the scene of his battle with the ghost dragon. He only said that he used the knowledge in the grand master's mind to change those magic traps and subdue the fake Sir Ghost Dragon.
These were the "confessions" that Chen Rui and Dodo had discussed beforehand. Dodo nodded cooperatively, but his two big eyes were staring straight at the devil fruit in Athena's hand.
"The devil fruit is only effective for the first time. It's useless to eat the second one!" Athena's face changed from horror to shock. "Damn slime, tell me! How many Devil Fruits have you eaten? "
"Humph! How dare you call Sir Dodo a damn slime! Even if I have to sacrifice my life … "
Before Dodo finished his lines, his head was knocked by Chen Rui, "Say it quickly!"
"Dear master, please wait. Let Dodo calculate." Seeing that his master spoke, Dodo had no choice but to recall. He used transformation to make 2 palms and began to calculate.
Not long after, two more appeared. After a while, there were already 8 palms on Dodo's body, but he still couldn't count them.
Chen Rui and Athena were sweating profusely, especially Athena. She felt like she was going crazy. How many devil fruits did this slime eat? This is a priceless treasure!
Dodo counted for a long time and looked like he was about to cry, "Master, Dodo can't remember clearly. It's probably 8 or 9 palms."
Even though Athena had always been strong-willed, she almost fainted at that moment: 8 or 9 palms! Isn't that more than 40 times! According to the number of fruits on that fruit tree, it only bears 5 to 6 at a time. 40 times, isn't that … this isn't Lala Potato! It's a precious devil fruit that is enough to provoke a war!
Chen Rui was also shocked. In his opinion, Dodo didn't eat the devil fruit, but a huge amount of magic crystal coins. In other words, it was a huge amount of aura! What's squandering? This is the real squandering!
However, the devil fruit only matured once in a few hundred years. It seemed that the previous years had nothing to do with Chen Rui who just transmigrated this year. Counting it, Dodo had lived for at least thousands of years.
"Chen Rui, I don't want to eat the devil fruit now." Athena regained her senses and said while gritting her teeth.
The slime was overjoyed when he heard that. As he was about to ask his master for it, Athena's next sentence frightened him, "I want to eat this slime!"
Chen Rui cooperated and added, "Dodo has eaten so many devil fruits. If you eat it, it will probably be more useful than eating the devil fruit. I just happened to bring a lot of barbecue seasonings. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Seeing that even his master said so, the slime was scared out of his wits. He pleaded, "Beautiful and brave mistress, please don't eat your most loyal slave! Dodo's meat is hard and smelly. It doesn't taste good at all! "
The word "mistress" made Athena blush. She quickly glanced at Chen Rui, but the human didn't notice it at this time. He was just looking at Sir Dodo's performance with a funny face.
Other than Royce, I wonder what will happen when Sir Dodo, Sir Slee and the old dwarf, Didi, meet one day?
After Chen Rui beat the new servant, Dodo, he didn't scare it anymore. He said to Athena, "Your injury isn't light. We'll rest for a few days at the place where Dodo pretends to be the ghost dragon. There are many magic traps around there, and the demonic beasts usually don't dare to approach. It should be very safe. I'll bring the two wyverns over later."
"Okay! The medicine you gave me is very useful. My injury recovered very quickly. You take these five devil fruits. I'll leave one for you. Also, this is for you. Keep it safe. "Athena took out a diamond-shaped crystal from her space bracelet and gave it to Chen Rui.
Chen Rui only felt that the crystal was cold. It exuded a special chill, so he asked curiously, "What is this?"
"After my injury is healed, I'll eat the devil fruit." Athena lowered her head and didn't look directly at Chen Rui. "This fruit has a characteristic. The stronger the power, the greater the toxicity. Many people have been poisoned to death in history. Even the antidote can't do anything."
"If I can't withstand the toxicity of the fruit …" Athena paused and said firmly, "You must not go to Mountain Xilang to die. Don't go back to the Dark Moon Estate either. Take the wyvern to the west and take this ice crystal to the capital of the Shadow Empire to find a woman named Delia. She owed me a big favor 3 years ago. With your ability and Delia's help, you should be able to stay in the Shadow Empire. Do you understand? "
Chen Rui was shocked. He didn't expect Athena to arrange such an escape route for him. He felt that the cold crystal in his hand seemed to contain a burning intention. He suddenly became silent.
"Athena, you'll be fine."
"Chen Rui, you don't understand …"
"The one who doesn't understand is you …" Chen Rui raised his head and looked at Athena's ruby-like eyes. He took out a green bead. "Take this … do you remember it?"
"This is … the antidote given by the blue lake poison dragon?" Athena took it and looked at it for a while. "It seems to be very spicy."
Chen Rui nodded. "This is called Jade Pearl. It's the precious crystal of the poison dragon. It produces one every 200 years. Eating it can quickly recover from injuries and permanently enhance the body's resistance to poison."
"Permanently enhance the body's ability?" Athena was taken aback. "Why would the poison dragon use such a precious crystal as an antidote?"
"Because you, little princess, and Kia weren't poisoned at all." Chen Rui had kept this matter in his heart for a long time. He finally couldn't help but reveal it. "I'm sorry, I haven't told you the truth …"
"You bastard! You made me worry all the time! "Athena pounced on him regardless of her injury. She pushed him to the ground and punched him fiercely." Damn it! Bastard! Bastard … "
When Dodo saw his master was attacked, he initially wanted to rush up to help, but the "mistress" who wanted to eat him previously was still in his mind. Besides, the situation between the mistress and master was a bit strange. It felt like when spring came, the female creature and the male creature were playing before they "attracted" each other. The action didn't look like it, but it felt right. If I disturb them at this time, I'm afraid I'll really be roasted and eaten.
The slime, who had gained considerable wisdom, finally wisely chose to turn a blind eye. It was like a transparent background object that said "you can't see me".
The slime's judgment was not unreasonable. Athena scolded very fiercely, but the hand that punched on Chen Rui was weak. Perhaps it could be understood that her injury was not light and she couldn't exert the power of Higher Demon, but it was true that thunder was louder than raindrops. It couldn't cause real harm even to an ordinary human's body.
Athena's movements finally stopped. She lay on Chen Rui's body and panted. Suddenly, she felt that this action was too ambiguous. Her heart was beating fiercely. She propped up her body with a blushing face and punched him fiercely. Then, she turned over and sat on the ground.
This level of "attack" was just tickling for Chen Rui, but he knew that this matter had always been a burden in Athena's heart. She even had the thought of fighting to the death with the poison dragon. He felt guilty in his heart. After being "beaten", he got up and explained to her.
After Athena heard Chen Rui said that he signed a symbiotic contract with the poison dragon, she finally understood. With the relationship between the two at that time, plus the characteristics of the symbiotic contract, if it was Athena herself, she wouldn't reveal this life-threatening secret.
"Bastard! Why don't you keep hiding it? "Athena's anger had almost dissipated." How many more things are you hiding from me? "
"Actually, there are still a lot …" Chen Rui saw Athena's eyes widened again, and he sighed, "Athena, if you believe me, give me a month. Don't ask anything now. After a month, I'll tell you a lot of things, but for this month, you have to listen to me, okay? "
Athena frowned slightly and asked, "Do Princess Royal and Alice know about these things?"
Chen Rui shook his head, "Other than the guy with the symbiotic contract, only you know."
Athena raised her eyebrows and her eyes flashed with brilliance, but she didn't say it in a good tone, "Hmph! That's what you said! "
"Okay, don't be angry. The Jade Pearl's anti-poison ability isn't a lie. You can ride the wyvern safely not because of the medicine I gave you, but because of your own anti-poison effect. It shouldn't be a problem to deal with the devil fruit." Chen Rui smiled and said, "Let's find a place to rest now. You should heal your injuries first. Regardless of whether the Jade Pearl is useful or not, eat one more before eating the devil fruit. When you finish digesting the fruit's power, we'll set off for Mountain Xilang."
Athena didn't throw a tantrum anymore. She gently stroked the Jade Pearl in her hand and nodded.
Chen Rui wasn't a fool. He more or less felt Athena's intention. He also had a good impression of Athena, but there wasn't much time left in the battle with Arux. He should focus all his energy on dealing with this matter and not be distracted in other aspects. After this challenge, he would seriously solve the problem between the two single man and woman.
