He cautiously observed his surroundings.
It was extremely quiet around the Demonic Jade Bronze Tree. Not even the sound of mosquitoes could be heard.
Zhu Minglang could not help but turn serious. The more unusual it was, the more dangerous it was.
Zhu Minglang took a deep breath. He felt something sticky stuck in his throat. He had not swallowed anything, yet he felt extremely uncomfortable.
It seemed like the strange fragrance was taking effect. Zhu Minglang glanced at the grass beads he had brought along. The grass beads had withered. They could no longer provide him with a comfortable air.
Time was running out.
He had to make his move!
The Demonic Jade Bronze Tree was rooted in a swamp. Although it was called a swamp, it felt more like an abyss that could swallow living things.
Zhu Minglang summoned the Innate Fiend Dragon to boost his courage.
The Innate Fiend Dragon had grown up in the ancient ruins. It had seen many strange things. It was bold and cautious. It did not spread its wings casually. Instead, it used its slender body to swim across the swamp.
Nothing happened. Zhu Minglang let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed like the Great Sea Eagle Emperor was the only creature guarding the Demonic Jade Bronze Tree.
Zhu Minglang raised his head and looked over. Very quickly, his face darkened.
Why was the Demonic Jade Bronze Tree covered in fruits?
It was fine if it was covered in dazzling fruits, but why did each of the fruits look like a bell made of copper!?
A dark green copper tree hung with green bells. If not for the fact that they were perfectly connected to the leaves, Zhu Minglang would have thought that some bored person had tied them one by one!
A Demonic Jade Bronze Tree?
The so-called Sea Suppressing Bells were actually the thousand-year-old fruits of the Demonic Jade Bronze Tree?
Which one should he pick?
Or should he pack them all up?
While Zhu Minglang was in a dilemma, the Innate Fiend Dragon slowly supported its flexible body and took a bite of the Demonic Jade Bronze Tree.
"Are you sure it's edible?" asked Zhu Minglang.
The Innate Fiend Dragon did not swallow it. It shook its head instead.
The flesh of the Bell Dang Fruit was no different from copper and iron. The most important thing was that when it was shaken, it would make a sound similar to that of a copper bell!
It really was a strange magical fruit. Creatures that could survive until now shouldn't have such low intelligence to eat this kind of copper bell fruit as food. Moreover, it was the main culprit that emitted the strange fragrance that suppressed breathing.
Zhu Minglang carefully identified it.
He found that two Copper Bell Fruits were the most conspicuous. They seemed to have been painted, and the color was too gorgeous. Using his spiritual sense to sense them, he could feel a thousand-year-old demonic spirit aura!
It was impossible for living things to be alive.
This was the bell-shaped fruit.
Such a unique aura could only mean that they had been condensed for over a thousand years, or that they had absorbed the fragrance of this island and become thousand-year-old demonic fruits.
Zhu Minglang plucked these two copper bell fruits. As for the other ripe and unripe ones, he did not touch them.
They should be the Sea Calming Bells that Lin Zhao and Han Wan wanted, but he didn't know how to use them.
"Let's go. You're not going to eat the fruits. Why are you staring at them?" Zhu Minglang said to the Innate Fiend Dragon.
The Innate Fiend Dragon observed for a while and felt bored. It went back the way it came.
Before leaving, Zhu Minglang purposely turned around to look at the dark green copper tree.
For a few moments, Zhu Minglang thought that the demonic copper tree would suddenly come alive and let out a demonic roar at him, the thief, causing the entire swamp to churn.
However, the tree was just a tree, even though it had existed for a very long time …
"Is it really that simple?" Zhu Minglang scratched his head.
He was not used to it.
It was so smooth that he felt that the two Sea Calming Bells were not so reliable.
…
The journey out of the swamp was smooth. The grass beads were almost used up. Zhu Minglang met up with Han Wan and Lu Yuanxun. They had found some grass beads nearby that could buy them some time.
"Where's the Great Lecturer?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"It shouldn't be that easy to shake off the Falcon Emperor. We can leave the island first," Han Wan said.
"Take a look. Is this it?" Zhu Minglang took out one of the Sea Calming Bells and asked.
Han Wan took it. Her face gradually lit up with joy.
"That's it. It already has three colors. It's the perfect Sea Calming Bell!" Han Wan immediately wrapped it carefully with a leather cloth she had prepared and placed it in a brocade box.
"It must have been difficult for you to be gone for so long. After all, there might be some ferocious beasts guarding the Demonic Green Copper Tree," Lu Yuanxun looked at them with admiration.
"Well … it was a little tricky, but it was taken care of," Zhu Minglang replied.
You can't say that either one of you can take down the Sea Calming Bell, can you?
Perhaps there were many things in this world that were not as scary as they seemed. It was because some people were stronger and had more confidence that only the strong could do it.
"Thank you, thank you. Without you, we don't know when we would have been able to get the Sea Calming Bell," Han Wan said.
"Is this one enough?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"I've seen it in a book. It's this kind of three-colored fruit. Are there more on the Demonic Green Copper Tree?" Han Wan asked, puzzled.
She had never seen a real Demonic Green Copper Tree. She did not know that it was full of bell-shaped fruits.
"No, there are similar Copper Bell Fruits, but they are not as mature as this one," Zhu Minglang said.
"One is enough. This kind of Tri-Colored Sea Calming Bell is actually very rare and precious. We spent a lot of effort to find this Demonic Green Copper Tree that was old enough and determined that it had produced a Tri-Colored Sea Calming Bell," Han Wan said.
Zhu Minglang thought for a while.
In the end, Zhu Minglang did not mention the second Sea Calming Bell.
He had already completed the task they gave him. The extra one was equivalent to an extra reward.
"Yi!!!!!"
A clap of thunder suddenly exploded in their ears. It shocked Zhu Minglang, Han Wan, and Inspector Lu so much that they almost fainted.
The surrounding trees exploded. The terrifying clap of thunder continued to reverberate in the air. Zhu Minglang covered his ears and looked up. He saw the golden eagle swooping down. Its terrifying eagle claws carried a golden destructive force that came crashing down like a thunderbolt!
The earth shook and the forest turned to dust. Zhu Minglang hastily opened his Spirit Domain and had the Heaven Fiend Dragon appear!
"Yi!!!!!!"
The Innate Fiend Dragon flew out. The colorful starlight on its body turned into beams of destructive light that shot toward the Falcon Emperor.
The sky seemed to have been pierced by these beams of light. The Extreme Sea Eagle Emperor originally wanted to crush the three human thieves on the ground with one claw. However, a Dragon King appeared out of nowhere!
