"Okay." Xiao Jin agreed without even thinking.
The two checked the fruit; there were four in total.
"Should we..." Lu Jing suddenly gave Xiao Jin a look.
Xiao Jin shook her head: "It's impossible to shake off. If she gets any ideas, it will be difficult to deal with."
Lu Jing clicked his tongue and said, "That's true."
Actually, there was something Xiao Jin didn't say, and Lu Jing knew it too.
That is, there are bound to be many unexpected events during the development of such an important tool. Although the two of them are not afraid, they do not want Wang Zixuan to stab them in the back.
At this moment, Xiao Jin said, "I found these things, and I want two of them."
Lu Jing's face stiffened: "No, you really don't want to suffer any loss at all!"
Xiao Jin didn't look at him; one of the two fruits was the one she had prepared for Cen Nian.
After all, the child has gone through all that trouble, so it's not unreasonable to bring back some local specialties!
………………
The two then told Wang Zixuan about their discovery, which surprised her greatly. She hadn't expected Xiao Jinlian to share such news with her, but she quickly realized what was going on.
Money can be a powerful motivator, and at a time like this, Xiao Jin and Lu Jing naturally didn't want to offend her.
Wang Zixuan thought so too.
As long as she gets a share of the final product, that's fine.
As for whether Xiao Jin takes one or two, she can do so as long as Lu Jing has no objection.
The three of them ignored the fifth player's opinion without prior agreement.
Would he dare to object?
Lu Jing's underling simply kept his head down and remained silent. He dared not, not even a little bit; he just wanted to live!
Two hours later.
Xiao Jin stood under the black coconut tree, gazing up at the cluster of fruits above that emitted an eerie glow.
A strange fragrance filled the air, sweet with a hint of fishiness, making one feel uneasy.
Half an hour earlier, Xiao Jin noticed that the fruit on the tree was suddenly emitting a light. The light was initially very faint, but it grew stronger and stronger over time.
The shimmering light floats above the island, like a guiding lighthouse.
“This fruit…something’s not right.” Lu Jing stood beside her, the bone whip in his hand swaying gently, making a soft “clicking” sound.
His gaze was fixed on the fruit, a strange interest flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by vigilance.
Xiao Jin did not respond, but simply gripped the long sword "Shadow Shatter" in his hand.
Her intuition told her that this was not good news.
"The fragrance is getting stronger." Wang Zixuan frowned, her longbow already nocked an arrow.
She stood atop a coconut tree, firmly occupying a high position, her eyes scanning her surroundings warily.
Cen Nian, gripping the long black staff tightly, stood on the other side of Xiao Jin, his expression tense but resolute.
None of them were ordinary people; they had long since grasped the chaotic atmosphere around them, and those enemies who wanted to launch a sneak attack had nowhere to hide.
"Prepare for battle," Xiao Jin said in a low voice, his tone cold and decisive.
No sooner had the words been spoken than a deep roar suddenly came from the distant sea.
Immediately afterwards, a huge mutated sea monster leaped out of the water, its massive body arcing through the air before crashing heavily onto the beach.
Its skin is dark blue, covered with hard scales, and it has sharp fangs in its mouth and a ferocious glint in its eyes.
In addition, there are many low-level mutated fish that crawl out of the ocean.
"Here it comes!" Lu Jing sneered, his bone whip lashing out like a serpent, heading straight for the sea beast's head.
Without hesitation, Xiao Jin flashed and instantly appeared beside the sea beast.
Her longsword flashed through the air like a silver streak, slashing straight at the sea beast's neck. The blade struck the scales, and blood and scales flew everywhere in an instant.
Xiao Jin narrowed his eyes, dissatisfied.
"The defense is quite strong!" Lu Jing raised an eyebrow.
Xiao Jin's knife is no joke; that last strike actually failed to sever the mutated sea beast's neck.
"What are you still standing there for? Are you planning to chat with the mutated beast?" At the same time, Wang Zixuan's arrow was already fired, accurately hitting the sea beast's eye.
The sea monster let out a painful roar, frantically shaking its head in an attempt to shake off the arrow.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Cen Nian rushed forward and slammed his black staff into the sea monster's belly, successfully knocking it away.
"Watch out, boss!" Lu Jing's underling, who was in charge of cleaning up the other small mutated fish, suddenly shouted.
Xiao Jin turned around and saw a flock of mutated birds flying in from the sky. Their wingspan was three meters wide, and their sharp beaks gleamed like blades.
"There are some in the air too!" Wang Zixuan quickly adjusted her angle and fired a series of arrows, trying to stop the flock of birds from getting closer.
Xiao Jin took a deep breath, and his supernatural power began to circulate rapidly.
Her figure vanished instantly, reappearing a moment later on the back of a mutated bird.
Without hesitation, the shards pierced the bird's neck, and blood gushed out. The mutated bird let out a shrill scream and plummeted from the sky.
However, the flock of birds was too large, and although Xiao Jin's spatial teleportation was powerful, it also consumed a huge amount of his special energy.
"Lu Jing, cover me!" After observing for a while, Xiao Jin shouted and disappeared again.
This time, Xiao Jin activated the ice crystal wings behind him, and a blue, ghostly light shot straight into the sky.
Lu Jing did not respond, but his bone whip had already been lashed out, swatting away a mutated bird that tried to approach Xiao Jin. His movements were swift and ruthless, and green flames fell from the sky like divine punishment.
Of all the players here, only Xiao Jin, besides Wang Zixuan, can fight in the sky for a long time.
Therefore, no matter what, Lu Jing must first help Xiao Jin resolve the hidden danger above his head.
The battle on the beach intensified, with the roars of sea monsters, the screams of birds, and the clash of weapons rising and falling.
Xiao Jin's figure flashed across the battlefield, each appearance accompanied by the fall of a mutated creature.
Her long sword was stained with blood, and the arcs of electricity on the blade flickered eerily in the moonlight.
"How much longer!" Wang Zixuan shouted as she shot an arrow. Her forehead was covered in sweat, and her spiritual energy was almost depleted.
“Two hours!” Cen Nian replied through gritted teeth.
Not only her, but Cen Nian had also used up most of her items, but the battle was far from over.
Xiao Jin floated in mid-air, having long since turned off the kill notifications in her ears.
Looking at the countless mutated animal corpses on the ground, Xiao Jin couldn't help but frown slightly.
No way! There's still so much time left. Are we going to have to evacuate from the island?
Xiao Jin had already seen several people trying to pick the unripe fruit first. If they hadn't been protecting it so closely, all those hours of work would have been for nothing.
No, we can't leave! Xiao Jin tapped his teeth lightly.
If they left, Xiao Jin would never be willing to give up. How could she simply relinquish the food she had already obtained?
A moment later, Xiao Jin shouted, "If anyone doesn't want to stay, they can leave on their own."
