Chapter 223 - Here Comes More Trouble
After the five of them ran away, they actually sat down and began to play Fish Dragon Cards.
In a dangerous place like the level-two fishery, their action was really unbridled and arrogant.
Two hours later.
Luo Xiaobai finally felt herself and she announced, “I’ve recovered.”
During these two hours, Luo Xiaobai was frantically absorbing and refining the Wood Spiritual Fruit. Perhaps for Han Fei, 30,000 points of spiritual energy was not a problem. But for Luo Xiaobai, this amount of spiritual energy was a lot. Her upper limit of spiritual energy was less than 2,000 points. Therefore, she used these 30,000 points of spiritual energy to strengthen herself, temper her body, and enhance the control of spiritual plants. At this point, Luo Xiaobai’s breath became more stable and she looked a lot more energetic. Han Fei asked, “Are you already an intermediate peak-level great fishing master?”
Luo Xiaobai shook her head. “Not yet. But the effect from this Wood Spiritual Fruit is really good. The spiritual energy it contains helped me improve my strength but I’m still an intermediate great fishing master. What really works is the affinity for spiritual plants. I feel that I can control the seaweed around me now. Maybe I can try to control the consciousness of the Sea Willow again.”
Zhang Xuanyu doubted this. “Is that a good idea? The Sea Willow is so big!”
Le Renkuang added, “Yes! Or let’s just fight it! Then each of us can get a spiritual fruit anyway.”
Han Fei was helpless. Yes, it won’t be you who goes to get the fruit! Why don’t you have a try? Han Fei suggested, “Are the Sea Willows conscious? You can try asking them! Anyway, they can produce one fruit every hundred years. Each of us only needs one. Try negotiating with them. Maybe they will be willing to give us some?” “Puff…”
The others didn’t know what to say. Come on, that’s one hundred years! Not one hundred days!
But Luo Xiaobai nodded. “Let me try.”
After a while, they set off towards a Sea Willow. But before they got close, the Wooden Fish had begun to knock on each other.
“Leave it to me.”
Luo Xiaobai squatted down and pressed the ground with one hand. A slender vine stretched out and soon entangled with the root of this tree.
Luo Xiaobai’s eyes turned white again. She was squatting on the ground motionlessly and seemed to be communicating with the Sea Willow.
Han Fei marveled. “Wow, this ability is amazing! If she becomes stronger in the future, she will be able to control these Sea Willows. And it would also be good if she could make the Sea Willow her contractual spiritual
plant.”
Xia Xiaochan rolled her eyes at him. “I’ve never seen such a huge contractual spiritual plant! Are you kidding me?”
Han Fei grinned. “The bigger, the better. Think about it. When you’re in combat, such a large contractual spiritual plant alone could crush your enemy and you wouldn’t even need to do anything.”
Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan chatted about this boring topic. Hearing Han Fei’s words, Zhang Xuanyu and Le Renkuang were helpless. Han Fei was always full of crazy ideas!
After a while, Luo Xiaobai suddenly stumbled.
Xia Xiaochan asked, “Xiaobai! What’s wrong?”
Luo Xiaobai, pale-faced, shook her head. “Although the Sea Willow is conscious, it is very difficult to communicate with it. And it doesn’t seem to want to give us any spiritual fruit but just told us to leave here.”
Le Renkuang was stunned. “So, were you really talking to this tree? Wow, awesome!”
Han Fei snorted. “If it refuses, then we’ll take the fruit ourselves. Does it think it has the final say? We just tried peaceful means before resorting to force. Does it think we are afraid of it?”
Luo Xiaobai held her vines and gasped. “If we’re going to snatch the fruit, we’ve got to be quick. I suspect that there is greater danger behind these Sea Willows.”
“Huh?”
Luo Xiaobai continued, “When I communicated with this willow tree just now, I sensed a very powerful spiritual plant, much stronger than these willow trees.”
Han Fei asked, “Can we take that very powerful spiritual plant away?”
Luo Xiaobai rolled her eyes at him. “No.”
Han Fei shrugged and said seriously, “It’s not easy to grab four fruits at a time. Can your spiritual energy hold on?”
“No.”
Zhang Xuanyu shook his head. “I can’t even handle one of these willow trees.”
Han Fei suggested, “Then use your trump card combat skills. Fatty, use your Armor Art! Xiaobai, why don’t you test your Death Replacement Art? Zhang Xuanyu, I haven’t seen you use your Mystic Fatal Rod. Why don’t you use it?”
Hearing Han Fei’s words, the others realized that they had been subconsciously ignoring their trump card combat skills.
Xia Xiaochan nodded. “OK, I’ll have a try…”
Han Fei cut her off, “But Your Supreme Stab is obviously used for assassinations. It may be effective in one-on-one combat but not in this one.”
Luo Xiaobai nodded. “Okay, let’s have a try then. I’ll rush in first to attract the trees’ attention.”
Le Renkuang said, “When you use the Death Replacement Art, I will follow you in. Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan take this opportunity to pick the fruit.”
Zhang Xuanyu added, “I’ll attack from the other side, creating obstacles for the Sea Willows.”
They talked and planned out the battle, making loud noise. In the distance, Wenren Yu covered her ears but then smiled. This was what a team should be.
Luo Xiaobai quickly swam to the Sea Willow. At the same time, thousands of vines popped out and began to attack. The vines were intertwined and turned into a huge claw, grabbing at the tree.
The Sea Willow’s response was not slow. As soon as it felt that the flow of water changed, thousands of wicker branches gathered and pressed against the giant vine claw. BAM!
With a violent explosion, a figure flew out. And a large flower bud suddenly grew out of the vine a few hundred meters away in the blink of an eye, and Luo Xiaobai walked out of the bud.
Luo Xiaobai said calmly, “Fight.”
Le Renkuang frowned and patted his armor box, which rattled.
Swish, Swish…
Five knives broke through the air in an instant. One shot forward and the other four encircled it. They flew out at a terrific speed, drawing a dazzling cross in the sea. Wherever they went, the branches were broken and the Wooden Fish were shattered. Even if some Wooden Fish exploded, the knives remained unaffected.
Han Fei shot out as fast as a bolt of lightning, activating Rage, fusing with Little Black and Little White, and having Nine Tails attached to him.
Xia Xiaochan flashed and sat on Han Fei.
Han Fei slashed through the seawater, crushing all the golden fake fruit along the way. However, Han Fei wrongly estimated Little Black and Little White.
The others had just created an opportunity to pick the fruit for Han Fei, only to see that seven chains popped out behind him and his body almost turned into a ray of light in the seawater. Even Wenren Yu was shocked to see this scene. Han Fei was really strong at the moment!
Han Fei gained some time for Xia Xiaochan. The latter flashed and picked a golden fruit.
But he didn’t stop. Activating the Million Knife Art, he quickly turned to the next willow tree and his body swirled like a drill.
He Xiaoyu yelled, “Follow him!”
In front of the second tree, the others had just arrived and Han Fei had already drilled into it.
Zhang Xuanyu was helpless. “Is this guy crazy? He just rushed in like this?”
Luo Xiaobai shook her head. “The plan has changed. Now let’s fight in our own ways. Le Renkuang, go in to attract the attacks.”
Le Renkuang’s face turned dark. Why always Han Fei and I? Is it because we’re fatter than others?
“Armor Art!”
“Thousand Blade Slash!”
Holding a big shield, Le Renkuang rushed out. Blocking those violent explosions, he said to Han Fei, “Slow down, I’m running out of spiritual energy.”
Not only Le Renkuang, but Luo Xiaobai who was controlling the vines were also running out of spiritual energy.
When Xia Xiaochan picked the second fruit, Han Fei continued to rush to the next tree.
Luo Xiaobai shouted to him. “Han Fei, slow down. We need spiritual energy.”
Han Fei paused, and when he was about to rush into the third Sea Willow, he suddenly landed on the seabed and drew a spirit gathering array with one foot. At the same time, he swam backward to the Sea Willow and sent the spiritual energy into the bodies of Luo Xiaobai and Le Renkuang with his hands.
Zhang Xuanyu gaped. Wow! Can Spirit Gathering Art be used like this?
Xia Xiaochan suddenly shouted, “Not good, the Wooden Fish have begun their attack again.”
Bam!
The huge ripples shook Luo Xiaobai away, who had just entangled the third Sea Willow and hadn’t launched an attack, and she spouted a mouthful of blood again.
Le Renkuang’s Thousand Blade Slash was forcibly stopped, but his Armor Art was still on.
Seeing that Han Fei rammed straight at the ripples, Xia Xiaochan immediately shouted to him, “What are you doing, you fool?!”
With that, she flashed and appeared in front of Han Fei. Then she gathered all her spiritual energy and punctured the ripples with Supreme Stab.
However, she was knocked off her feet by the ripples and their cooperation was interrupted. Han Fei didn’t stop at all but flew through the hole made by Xia Xiaochan. No one else knew that Han Fei could only see real Wood Spiritual Fruit.
Thud…
When this Wood Spiritual Fruit was picked, Han Fei suddenly felt his head ache and a strange power entered into his mind.
