Chapter 412: The Golden Fruit (2)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Lou Yu stopped, “It should be safe here. So strange. Didn’t you say one can advance to the next level by eating the golden fruit? Then, why did Tang Qiansheng not eat the fruit after getting it? If he eats it, he will reach to level 10. He would be invincible.”

Dai Rao glanced at Lou Yu with disdain, “It’s terrible to be ignorant. Don’t you know? Although the golden fruit has amazing effects, it’s in a high stake. Only one person out of a thousand can survive after eating it.”

Mo Fei widened his eyes, “Does anyone dare to eat since it’s so highly risky?”

Dai Rao nodded, “Yes! But most people don’t swallow the golden fruit directly. They make the golden fruit together with other star grass into potions. The probability to advance becomes smaller, but the mortality rate will be lower, too.”

Mo Fei blinked, “How low?”

Dai Rao shrugged, “One alive among a hundred.”

Mo Fei, “...”

Mo Fei swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked tentatively, “Do you have the formula for golden fruit?”

Dai Rao nodded, “Yes!”

“Give it to me.” Mo Fei said.

“What do you want it for?” Dai Rao asked, frowning.

Mo Fei shrugged, “If those star beasts and Tang Qiansheng fight with each other, and they are all dead, then, the golden fruit is mine. As the saying goes, ‘when shepherds quarrel, the wolf has a winning game’.” Mo Fei giggled.

Dai Rao, “...”

Xin Mingyue and Mo Bei looked at Mo Fei with strange eyes.

Lou Yu stretched out his hand and gave Mo Fei a pinch.

Lou Yu looked at Dai Rao, “Girl, you’ve misunderstood him. Actually, we’re not try-ing to get a bargain. We’re just thinking: if there is one golden fruit tree, maybe there is a second one.”

Mo Fei glared at Lou Yu, “Alas, you dare to pinch me, you’re so bold!”

Dai Rao looked at the two, feeling speechless.

Xin Mingyue took a long breath and her heart was ups and downs. This time, the headmaster selected such a person as the team leader. She got butterflies in his stomach.

Xin Mingyue looked at Mo Fei, “My friends, Xingchen and Tianhe have a good relationship. We have common interests so we share the same boat. Now that the secret realm is in a situation, we should unite and help each other.”

Mo Fei and his fellows flickered their eyes, looked at Xin Mingyue in surprise, and thought secretly, ‘The two colleges have always been friendly? Share the same boat? Wasn’t the girl telling a joke?

Xin Mingyue blushed being stared at by Mo Fei.

Lou Yu looked at Xin Mingyue, “You said, something has gone wrong in the secret realm?”

Xin Mingyue nodded, “Yes.”

“What happened?” Mo Fei asked.

Xin Mingyue took a deep breath, “Most of the level-8 and level-9 star beasts used to move within a fixed range. As long as you avoid those places, there won’t be any problems. Now these star beasts are running around everywhere. In the past, there were few spirit creatures of level 8 and above in this place, but now, even the golden sacred tree has appeared.”

Lou Yu and his fellows looked at each other with a bit complicated expression.

“Ah!” Suddenly, Mo Fei let out a scream of pain.

Lou Yu stared at May Fei in a daze, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Mo Fei widened his eyes and said tensely, “Tang Qiansheng threw a golden apple out into the group of star beasts. Is that golden apple the golden fruit? What a pity!”

Lou Yu felt speechless, “...Forget about it, I think Tang Qiansheng must feel even more heartbroken now.”

“What a waste! I’d rather die holding the gold fruit than throwing it away. That guy is really useless.” Mo Fei nagged.

Lou Yu smiled, “Yeah, Tang Qiansheng is a guy with no balls, how can he compare with you?”

Tens of li away, Tang Qiansheng gritted his teeth, as if being scooped out his heart with a knife. If he could choose, Tang Qiansheng would never throw the golden fruit out, but he had no alternative. The star beast behind tightened their chase, and if this continued, he would definitely fall into the siege of star beasts.

He could not give the golden fruit to Zhou Cheng, either. With Zhou Cheng’s temper-ament, when the man got the golden fruit, Zhou Cheng would not care about Tang’s life and death anymore. No one could expect to get what Tang Qiansheng could not get.

Seeing the golden fruit threw out by Tang Qiansheng, Zhou Cheng felt resentful in his heart.

The gold fruit was really in Tang Qiansheng’s hands. But Tang would rather throw it to the star beast than give it to him.
