Chapter 293 Waiting for the Soul Fruit to Ripen
Perhaps we could ask Xu Yi and the others? But considering they still need to guard the ripening of the Soul Fruit, let's put this matter aside for now.
Let's talk about other things after we've picked the Soul Fruit.
"Alright, let's not delay. In case the Soul Fruit ripens, let's go over there and keep watch."
After you get the Soul Fruit, go back and turn in the quest. We can use this opportunity to do some business with the people here and build some rapport!
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. After discussing it for a while, they prepared to set off. Originally, Xu Yi had planned to go find his other two sleeping friends first.
But when he heard them say they were going to the Soul Fruit, Xu Yi immediately changed his mind.
I decided to wait until I got the Soul Fruit before looking for someone. Anyway, these two are already asleep by now, so a little extra time won't make a difference.
Huanhua and Daling also expressed their desire to go along; how could they miss out on such a fun activity?
So, after discussing it, the large group of people unanimously agreed that the ripening time of the Soul Fruit was uncertain, and decided to move the entire shop there.
After moving it, it was placed next to the Soul Fruit. This way, there was double protection, and even if that monster wanted to do something underhanded, there would be absolutely no chance.
Furthermore, on this trip, they not only intend to obtain the Soul Fruit, but they also have no intention of letting go of that demonic beast whose strength is comparable to that of a demon emperor.
After all, with such strength, every part of him must be a treasure. Take him away, take him away, pack them all up and take them with you.
If we hadn't run into them, that would have been fine, but since we did, there's no way we'd leave empty-handed.
Xu Yi was originally wondering how to get to the store together.
But just after he revealed the exact location of the Soul Fruit, the three-story building they were in suddenly emitted a faint white light, and the next second, it appeared near the Soul Fruit.
Xu Yi: "........."
Jing Ling: "......"
This three-story building called the Dimensional Shop, could it be a divine-grade magical artifact? It's so powerful! Right now, the two of them are looking at this shop with a strange kind of fascination; the more they look at it, the more they like it.
As the dimensional shop disappeared, the invisible black mist that had been lurking nearby paused for a moment, looking puzzled.
It seemed unclear why it had suddenly disappeared. It clearly saw the two spirits go in, so why couldn't it get in?
Unbeknownst to them, a dark cloud was lurking nearby, observing a few people. The Soul Fruit, not far from the shop entrance, was simply irresistible.
It's that deep pool not far from the Soul Fruit. Aside from not being very aesthetically pleasing, the surrounding area is quite nice.
After all, the place they were just in was all gray and gloomy, but here there is at least some color.
However, this effect was limited to a few hundred meters around the Soul Fruit, while the area beyond that remained a hazy gray.
However, the area around the Soul Fruit was filled with all sorts of plants of different shapes and sizes, among which the Soul Fruit was the most beautiful.
On the deep blue branches, there were fruits of the same color, but these fruits looked unripe and were emitting a faint blue light.
However, the light was not very strong, but it had a tempting power that made people want to get closer. However, when they got closer, they were blocked by an invisible force.
And on this branch, there was only one leaf, also dark blue, swaying gently in the wind.
However, each swaying motion released a peculiar fragrance that made the group feel comfortable and relaxed, as if they had taken a powerful tonic.
"This is the Soul Fruit. If nothing unexpected happens, it will ripen either tonight or tomorrow, because the fragrance it emits is much stronger than before."
That demonic beast is slumbering in this deep pool. It will likely awaken when the Soul Fruit ripens, so you must prepare in advance!
As Jingling spoke, he pointed to the deep pool. After all, he had been guarding this Soul Fruit for a very long time, so long that he had forgotten how long it had been.
He had seen other monsters before, but to be honest, he had never seen one that was so ugly. When he saw it that time, he couldn't bear to look at it.
Fortunately, the monster had been asleep the whole time. It only woke up once in the middle of the night, went out and did something, and then came back to sleep. And it has been like that ever since.
Hearing his friend's words, Xu Yi couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, they were only a few hundred meters away from the cold pool. Wasn't that a bit too close?
"Hey, young friend Gu, how about we move this shop a bit further back? It's too close now. If the monsters come out of the icy pool, we might be caught off guard!"
Gu Xinyan and the others smiled and shook their heads at his words. Move back? No way, this position was the best place to protect the Soul Fruit, which they had calculated carefully.
After all, the Soul Fruit is currently located at the edge of the protective shield. If it takes another step back, the Soul Fruit will no longer be able to cover it.
What if that monster comes out of the cold pool and casually picks it up?
With the protective shield in place, the demonic beast was naturally powerless to do anything about it. Want the Soul Fruit? Well, that would depend on whether it could break through their protective shield.
When the Soul Fruit ripens, they will go and pick it as soon as possible, and then gang up on that monster. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
"Senior Xu, this spot is just right. You'll see soon enough. Just watch, that demon beast won't get the Soul Fruit!"
Hearing such confident words, Xu Yi was at a loss for words, but after thinking about the amazing qualities of the others, he felt relieved.
Forget it, he'll just watch. In his current state, he'd probably get swatted away by the monster if he went up there.
Gu Xiaoyou and his group must have had their own plans, so they nodded and didn't say anything more.
Huanhua and Daling, who couldn't stay still, ran to the vicinity of the Soul Fruit and looked around for a long time, but couldn't see anything special about it.
After all, they are not like them, which have developed intelligence, and the fragrance emanating from the Soul Fruit does not have a particularly strong appeal to them.
So after staring at them for a while, they came back. As soon as they returned, they heard Boss Little White say that they needed to settle their original bodies.
So the two little ones happily followed, as did Xu Yi and the others, along with Gu Xinyan and the others.
