Chapter 203 Lingxi Fruit
Just as Ye Xiaobai was struggling to cope, the outcome of the battle on the Devouring Heaven side was finally decided.
With the powerful physical body of the demon beast and the cultivation level close to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, Devouring Heaven quickly beat the third brother of the Crescent Moon Gang so badly that he fell to the ground.
"Third Brother!" Seeing his third brother being violently knocked dozens of feet away and seriously injured, the leader of the Crescent Moon Gang couldn't help but shout loudly.
However, the third brother, who was not far away, seemed to have fainted and did not react at all. The eldest brother's heart tightened immediately, and he felt that the situation was bad and that all three of them might die here.
The second brother, who was fiercely attacking Ye Xiaobai, also heard the commotion and immediately slowed down his attack while checking the situation.
As a result, Ye Xiaobai immediately felt the pressure drop sharply, and blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth. Fortunately, he could still hold on for a while. Moreover, the situation was already very clear, and Tuntian would soon end the battle there.
Sure enough, the leader, who had fought against the Devouring Heaven alone, was soon covered in wounds. Knowing that he could not continue like this, he chose to escape for his life. Forget about face, life was the most important thing. As the saying goes, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
After making up his mind, the eldest brother immediately looked at the second brother and shouted, "Second brother, don't linger in battle. The enemy is too strong today. Let's escape!" After saying that, he stopped considering attacking, turned around, stepped onto his flying magic weapon, and fled at high speed.
Upon hearing this, the second brother finally understood that they couldn't continue fighting. He then stopped attacking Ye Xiaobai and turned to flee for his life.
"None of you will leave here today!" Tuntian said, catching up with and blocking the leader's path.
Ye Xiaobai naturally knew he couldn't let the tiger return to the mountain, and tried to intercept the second brother's escape route. However, his strength was limited, and his speed was no match for others. Thinking of speed, Ye Xiaobai remembered his Purple Flame Thunder Leopard, which possessed lightning speed.
Immediately, Ye Xiaobai released Zishan and had it chase after the second brother with him.
"Senior, it was my fault for attacking you first today. Please be magnanimous and let me go. My Crescent Moon Gang will definitely prepare a generous gift for you another day!" Seeing that he could not escape in time and could not win a fight, the leader of the Crescent Moon Gang could only beg for mercy.
With hands clasped in a gesture of obsequiousness, knees bent, and a fawning expression on their face, they seemed to believe that this was how they could survive.
"You think you can get away with offending me, Devouring Heaven? No way!" Devouring Heaven sneered, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes. He would not let these enemies off easily.
Although he knew the other side might be willing to make peace, he was well aware of the dangers of letting a tiger return to the mountains. Since these enemies dared to provoke him, they had to pay the price. Besides, they had already angered him; if he simply let them go, wouldn't that make him appear too weak and easily bullied?
Moreover, he knew perfectly well that if these enemies escaped, they would inevitably rely on the Crescent Moon Gang's power and become a huge hidden danger. Therefore, he could not allow these enemies to escape under any circumstances.
"Senior? As long as you spare me, I'll agree to any condition you ask for, as long as you can keep my life!" The leader of the Crescent Moon Gang didn't want to die yet. He still had hundreds of years of good fortune to enjoy, how could he be willing to die like this?
At this moment, the leader of the Crescent Moon Gang could only do everything in his power and beg in every way possible, just to survive.
"Enough with the nonsense! Give me your life!" Devouring Heaven naturally didn't waste words with the leader of the Crescent Moon Gang and quickly ended his life.
With the eldest brother dealt with, the remaining issue is the second brother's problem on Ye Xiaobai's side.
"Fellow Daoist, spare my life, and I'll tell you a huge secret, okay?" Seeing that he was surrounded by Ye Xiaobai and Tuntian, the second brother knew there was no way to escape, so he could only try to beg for mercy.
"Kid, what secret can buy your life?" Devouring Heaven asked coldly, staring at the second brother whose face was full of the desire to survive.
The second brother quickly probed, "Senior, could you promise me that you'll spare my life if I tell you the secret?"
"Spare your life? Tell me first!" Devouring Heaven said disdainfully.
"You have to agree to my request first!" the second brother tried to bargain. "Then I'll send you on your way right now!" Devouring Heaven said, preparing to make his move.
"No, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" The second brother was so frightened that he immediately revealed the so-called secret.
It turns out that every hundred years, monster riots occur in this desert. Even in places where monsters are usually scarce, large numbers of monsters appear, threatening cultivators' normal daily activities such as collecting spiritual herbs and capturing monsters in the desert.
The monster riot had a reason: a rare and precious treasure had ripened in a secret realm somewhere in the desert, attracting a large number of monsters. After this explanation, Ye Xiaobai and Tuntian finally understood everything.
However, this aligns with the earlier speculation that rare and precious materials had appeared. "Senior, I've said everything I needed to say, can you let me leave now?" The second brother asked, his eyes full of anticipation.
"We already knew about the rare and precious materials. If this is your so-called secret, then you can rest in peace!" Devouring Heaven said dismissively. "You!" The second-in-command, one of the three leaders of the Crescent Moon Gang, died with resentment in his heart.
After resolving everything, Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but exclaim, "Senior's physical body is indeed formidable! Even a late-stage Core Formation cultivator is no match for you! May I learn from you?"
"You brat, this is a talent of our Sun Devouring Clan, so don't even think about it!" The merciless Devourer shattered Ye Xiaobai's beautiful dream.
"But..." Ye Xiaobai still didn't want to give up.
"No buts, everyone can find a cultivation method that suits them! Don't rush, there are important things to deal with right now!" Tuntian said calmly.
"Senior is referring to the ripening of rare and precious herbs?"
"Exactly!"
"But the desert region is so vast. Even if we know that the rare and precious herbs are ripening, we can only worry helplessly if we don't know their exact location!" Ye Xiaobai complained helplessly.
"You're such a pig-brain! How did you even reach the mid-stage of Core Formation?" Devouring Heaven couldn't help but complain.
Ye Xiaobai blushed instantly, embarrassed, and said, "I was just a little lucky!"
"However, how do we obtain the location of that rare and precious material?" Ye Xiaobai then asked.
"You're really lucky, kid. If I remember correctly, I went to that place hundreds of years ago. You got off easy this time!" Tuntian said irritably.
"What? Senior has actually been there!" Ye Xiaobai was immediately taken aback upon hearing this. Now, going to the secret realm would be much easier.
"So what? Back in the day, I searched for treasures with the Five Elements Venerable and visited many secret realms. This desert region is just one of them," Devouring Heaven said proudly.
"Senior is indeed amazing! Since you have been to this secret realm before, may I ask what kind of rare and precious materials are here?" Ye Xiaobai asked curiously.
"You brat, you actually doubt my words?" Devouring Heaven retorted unhappily.
"No, no, I'm just curious what kind of treasure is here," Ye Xiaobai quickly denied.
"That's pretty much it!"
"The rare and precious material in this secret realm is called the Spirit Rhinoceros Fruit! After cultivators consume it, it can enhance their comprehension ability and can be considered a spiritual fruit that improves their cultivation physique! Back then, the Five Elements Venerable and I each ate one!" Devouring Heaven said calmly.
"The Five Elements Venerable felt his cultivation speed increased after eating it! I didn't feel anything special, except that it tasted a bit bitter!" Devouring Heaven continued.
"It's actually a spiritual fruit that can enhance comprehension!" Ye Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise again.
Ye Xiaobai had always been frustrated by the slow pace of his cultivation of his four elemental spiritual roots. With this Spirit Rhinoceros Fruit, his future cultivation would definitely be twice as effective.
"It's nothing special. I didn't feel anything after eating it. It might be more effective for people like you with poor talent!" Tuntian said unhurriedly.
"Senior, this thing is so important to me!" Ye Xiaobai said excitedly, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Hmph, helping you snatch it is no big deal! However, I need to recover my peak strength first, then we'll be more confident!" Devouring Heaven snorted lightly and said calmly.
"This requires the Profound Origin Pill, but unfortunately we haven't found the Red Flower Grass yet!" Ye Xiaobai said with a hint of regret.
"Since I brought you to the desert to find spiritual herbs, I naturally made preparations! Follow me!"
