After collecting so much Life Juice Source, Xiao Chen already had a good understanding of the Black Star Sawtooth Shark tribe's composition.
The topmost chief had the best Tree of Life. Below him were the twenty-odd Black Star Sawtooth Sharks, which were similar to sect Elders, who had slightly inferior Trees of Life.
Needless to say, the sap released by the high chieftain's Tree of Life had to be the best of the best. In fact, it might even be several levels higher than that. It was extremely tempting.
With only one hour left, there were still ten silver Trees of Life. Clearly, he would not be able to collect them.
At most, he would be able to collect one before leaving.
Should he use this final bit of time to save for the silver Tree of Life or take a risk? He could not make up his mind.
Three seconds later, Xiao Chen made up his mind. He would play it safe and leave directly.
Today's harvest was already great enough. Two thousand five hundred kilograms of silver Life Juice Source did not contain any impurities.
However, just as Xiao Chen was about to leave, the nearby seawater suddenly surged intensely. A strong, suffocating aura came from below the largest Tree of Life.
This startled Xiao Chen. He tightly grabbed onto the branches of the tree, not daring to leak out any aura.
This aura felt completely unblockable. Xiao Chen closed his eyes and entered a state of suspended animation.
After a long time, when he felt that aura leave, Xiao Chen woke up automatically.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a Black Star Sawtooth Shark several kilometers long swimming slowly in the distance. While it looked like it was moving forward slowly, it was actually moving extremely fast, quickly distancing itself from the Black Star Sawtooth Shark's nest.
This …
Why did the chief leave?
Just as Xiao Chen was about to give up, the Black Star Sawtooth Shark chief, who was strong enough to casually kill him, suddenly left the nest.
Although Xiao Chen did not understand why, it was normal. It could not possibly stay there and not move.
Xiao Chen checked his Veritable Essence Energy. The Veritable Essence Energy shield, which could last for one hour, could only last for fifteen minutes now.
There was still a slight chance. However, should he gamble?
Gamble!
The blood flowing in Xiao Chen's body gave him the courage to never lack. Once he made up his mind, he didn't want to waste any more time.
He silently executed the Fish Dragon Art. Before those huge Black Star Sawtooth Sharks, Xiao Chen was as unremarkable as Yu.
As he swam, the ripples in the water were almost negligible.
For Xiao Chen to be able to move freely among the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks without being discovered, aside from being cautious, he also had the Buddhist pendant to conceal his life aura. The most crucial thing was the Fish Dragon Art. This Movement Technique was very helpful to Xiao Chen in the water.
If it were anyone else trying to move as fast as Xiao Chen in the water, the Black Star Sawtooth Shark would definitely notice the commotion.
To others, Xiao Chen's actions were something that even a peak Major Primal Core cultivator would not dare to imagine.
Hot blood coursed through his veins. It had been a long time since Xiao Chen had experienced this kind of thrilling adventure where he danced on the edge of life and death.
Amidst the nervousness and caution, there was also a little excitement.
I arrived!
Without using much time, Xiao Chen successfully avoided the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks guarding below and arrived at the largest Tree of Life.
Xiao Chen gently pushed off the tree branch and continuously leaped up. When he found a height far away from the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks below, he stopped.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was extremely nervous. However, he still maintained his calm as he methodically took out his dagger.
"Dang!"
A soft clang rang out. To Xiao Chen's surprise, he did not manage to stab the dagger in.
"How troublesome!"
This scene was within Xiao Chen's expectations. However, the hope that he had harbored at first was now dashed.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and touched the tree bark. He felt confident that if he infused his Great Dao Energy into it, he should be able to cut it open.
However, he was currently in the center of the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks' nest.
If he used his Great Dao Energy at this moment, he would definitely expose himself and take the initiative to seek death.
Time slowly passed. The time left for Xiao Chen decreased. He did not have much Veritable Essence Energy left in his dantian.
Don't panic …
At this moment, Xiao Chen's extraordinary mental state was perfectly displayed. He closed his eyes and entered deep thought. Countless thoughts flashed in his mind like sparks flying.
After a while, Xiao Chen opened his eyes.
The instant he opened his eyes, his hands quickly formed hand seals. Magic Energy burned in his sea of consciousness as he executed the Life Bestowal Spell in an instant.
"Whoosh!"
A Jiao Snake suddenly appeared in the seawater, perfectly imitating Senior Jiao Snake's aura. The instant it appeared, it attracted the attention of all the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks.
"Rumble …!" Suddenly, a foreign ferocious beast appeared in the nest. How could this be?
No sea creature would allow such a situation to happen.
Loud rumbling rang out continuously. The sediment at the bottom of the sea, as well as all sorts of remains, surged up with the huge waves.
All the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks rushed towards that Jiao Snake, roaring ferociously as all sorts of auras surged out.
As of this moment, the situation in the seawater was extremely complicated.
Right now, there was only one second. Xiao Chen brought out his Great Dao Energy and infused it into the dagger.
"Ka ca!"
It entered. Just as Xiao Chen expected, he infused his Great Dao Energy and easily stabbed the dagger in, creating a cut. "Chi!"
Immediately, golden juice flowed out of the tree.
"It's golden!" Xiao Chen revealed joy on his face. Indeed, the quality was much higher.
The Jiao Snake puppet did not last for long. The moment it appeared, it was instantly killed.
However, after the chaos passed, Xiao Chen successfully scattered his Great Dao Energy, dodging this calamity.
"Alright, that's enough. I can't be greedy anymore." After collecting only five kilograms, Xiao Chen rationally chose to give up. At this moment, he could leave calmly.
Five kilograms of the highest-quality Life Origin Source was already heaven-defying in value.
One had to stop while one was ahead. In the midst of a fervent adventure, one had to maintain their final bit of rationality.
"Boom!"
However, just as Xiao Chen put away the jade bottle and was about to leave, the aura that made him feel suffocated and forced him to fake his death appeared again.
It was the chief of the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks!
The earlier commotion made the Sawtooth Shark King, who had gone out, return.
"Whoosh!" Xiao Chen immediately paled.
How can I leave? If I leave at this moment, I will definitely be discovered by that Sawtooth Shark King. Xiao Chen already felt the other party's gaze fixed on the Tree of Life.
However, as the target was too large, it did not discover Xiao Chen for now.
However, once it moved, it would be hard to say.
A huge pressure bore down on Xiao Chen. The seawater pushed forward in the direction that the Sawtooth Shark King came from.
"Bang!" Xiao Chen lost control of his body, and the seawater pushed him against the tree.
It's here!
The Sawtooth Shark King looked like it was moving slowly. However, in reality, it moved extraordinarily fast, arriving below the Tree of Life in a few breaths.
Then, it swept its gaze towards the Tree of Life.
The target was too small. The Sawtooth Shark King did not immediately discover Xiao Chen, who was blocked by the tree branches.
However, the Sawtooth Shark King still did not feel assured. Its strong Mental Energy turned into visible yellow light waves radiating out in all directions in the water.
It didn't take long for the chief of the Sawtooth Sharks to inspect the entire nest.
The water stopped squirming. When Xiao Chen saw this scene, he heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was above the Sawtooth Shark King.
"Whoosh!"
After the yellow light covered the entire nest, it suddenly shrank, wrapping around the bottom of the Tree of Life and continuing to spread upwards.
"We are in big trouble."
Xiao Chen's expression changed dramatically. The light that represented the Sawtooth Shark King's Mental Energy kept rising, like a death knell.
At the moment of life and death, Xiao Chen moved at lightning speed. He stabbed the dagger in the tree and quickly drew a circle.
Then, he thrust the five fingers of his left hand deep into the center of the circle. Intense pain came. Xiao Chen felt many wood shavings stabbing into his fingertips.
The ten fingers were connected to the heart, and the intense pain was unbearable.
A look of determination flashed on Xiao Chen's face. At this moment, he thought about many things.
Why did he put in so much effort? Why was he willing to risk his life? Many scenes flashed in his mind.
During the Kunlun Realm's Demonic Calamity, his old friends who died one by one, the many lucky survivors of the Dragon's Gate, the anticipation of the old Dragon Horse in the Blue Dragon Palace, and … Liu Ruyue, who was definitely waiting for him.
I have to become stronger.
"Ka ca!" Xiao Chen forcefully pulled out the entire piece of wood. It was a conical piece of wood.
Without thinking too much, Xiao Chen entered the tree hole in a flash. Then, he used his dagger to cut off the tip of the conical piece of wood before filling it in.
After Xiao Chen did all this smoothly, the yellow light soon covered the entire area.
Then … it continued to spread upwards.
I was not discovered!
