Ling Tian led the siblings on a aimless stroll around the outskirts of Creation Mountain. Their goal was quite simple.
It would be best if they could obtain the exotic fruit, but it wouldn't matter if they couldn't. Anyway, they already had Ling Feng as their backer, so they just needed to wait for Ling Feng to return from the mountains and go back to the base with him.
At this moment, the outer area was full of people, and the places they passed through were all in a mess.
Ling Feng and his group wandered around for half a day, and Hu Tianci and his companion followed them for the same amount of time.
They were waiting for an opportunity, to wait until the area was sparsely populated, to wipe them all out in one fell swoop, but these guys were like runaways.
They just go wherever there are crowds, and keep going in circles!
This made Hu Tianci start to get increasingly agitated. Their plan was to quickly kill a few people and then join the Longping base to see if they could get a chance to obtain the exotic fruit.
As a result, we wasted half a day here.
"Zihan, why don't we go up the mountain first? We've already wasted half a day here. If we wait any longer, we might not even get to drink the soup!"
Yang Zihan thought for a moment and said with some regret.
"Alright, they've been loitering around here anyway. We can deal with them after we get the exotic fruit!"
The two men glared at Ling Tian and his companions with hatred before turning away helplessly.
At this moment, Ling Tian and his two companions were completely unaware that they were being watched. After searching for half a day without finding anything, they decided to try another approach.
They started heading towards places that looked safe, the outermost part of Genesis Mountain. Everyone thought these places had been searched thousands of times and there wouldn't be any strange fruits there, so they basically didn't go to check them out.
Soon they arrived at the outermost part of Genesis Mountain. There were hardly any people here anymore; they could only catch a glimpse of people occasionally before they hurried on their way back into the mountain.
Ling Tian took out a pair of glasses, put them on, and began to examine them seriously. Shen Yan and Shen Hong, the siblings, also looked down and examined them carefully. Black Panther, meanwhile, was playing in the snow out of boredom, leaving its mark every now and then.
It must be said that this place is really clean; there are no plants in sight, and the ground is covered with messy footprints.
The three searched for a long time but still found nothing.
Ling Tian sat on the ground, looking dejected. He had given up and was ready to just give up and find a place to wait. Anyway, Ling Feng had given him enough food, so he didn't need to worry about food.
Just then, the black panther suddenly barked at Ling Feng and started pulling Ling Tian's clothes backward with its mouth.
Ling Feng's body slid across the ground and was dragged by the black panther to a small bulge.
Black Panther barked loudly at Little Drum a few times, then gestured to Ling Tian with his eyes.
Shen Yan and Shen Hong, the siblings, also heard the noise and ran over.
"Did Black Panther discover something? Could there be something inside?" Shen Yan asked with a look of surprise.
Shen Hong's face flushed with excitement, and he immediately began digging into the small bulge!
Ling Tian also joined the digging, but the ice and snow on the ground were frozen solid. It took the three of them a full half hour to dig open the mound.
After digging to a depth of one meter, Ling Tian suddenly shouted excitedly!
"You found it?"
Ling Tian was holding a green exotic fruit the size of a cherry in his hands, and there were quite a few more in the pit.
Inside the pit, there was a small, strange tree covered with fruit, at least a hundred of them!
This unusual tree was probably crushed by the wind and snow, then completely covered by a blizzard, and preserved underneath the frozen snow. People who went into the mountains to search for treasure never found it.
The three were overjoyed. They never expected to actually find a bargain in this place. If Black Panther hadn't reminded them, they might not have discovered it.
Black Panther lay lazily on the ground, looking at the three of them with disdain. He thought to himself:
"Look at you guys, so naive! A few exotic fruits have gotten you all excited. You've clearly never seen anything good before!"
Ling Tian and the others certainly had no idea what Black Panther was thinking. He was too preoccupied with the joy of discovering the exotic fruit to think about such things at the moment!
The three of them quickly picked the fruit, and soon all the exotic fruits were gone.
The three of them exchanged a glance, their faces lighting up with joy!
But their joy was short-lived, for they soon heard a chilling voice.
"Hand over the exotic fruits you possess!"
The three of them changed their expressions and turned their gazes toward the source of the sound.
A dozen or so people dressed in white walked towards them!
The speaker was a rugged-looking young man, tall and imposing, who glared angrily at Ling Feng and the other two!
Ling Feng inwardly cried out in alarm; he had just obtained the exotic fruit and was already being targeted—what bad luck!
"What are you guys talking about, what strange fruit?" Ling Tian said with a grin, trying to evade the question, while simultaneously signaling to Shen Yan and Shen Hong to prepare to retreat.
"Stop pretending. We've been watching you for a while now. You think I didn't see your bulging pockets?" the young man said to Ling Tian with a mocking look.
"Why should we give it to you when we found it!" Shen Hong said, looking indignant.
The young man gave a cold laugh.
"Little brat, don't ask why. We outnumber you and are stronger than you. If you dare not give it to us, we'll kill you!"
"And you too!"
The young man glanced at Shen Yan and said in a flippant tone.
"You'll have some fun with us brothers later, play some games, and we'll let you go! I advise you to cooperate honestly; we have four or five King-level ability users here, defeating you will be a piece of cake!"
Shen Yan's face paled. She hadn't expected these bastards to be staring at her. For a moment, she regretted washing her face that morning.
To prevent such things from happening, she had always deliberately dirtied her face and dressed in tattered clothes so that no one would have any improper thoughts about them.
"Do you know who we are? How dare you rob us?" Ling Tian said with a stern face.
The young man gave a cold laugh.
"Of course I know, aren't you Ling Feng's people? How dare you use Ling Feng's name to intimidate me! Let me tell you, others may be afraid, but we, the White Water Sect, are not! Ling Feng is nothing but a fart in our eyes!"
The young man said arrogantly.
Ling Tian's heart trembled. Although he didn't know much about the White Water Sect, he had heard some rumors. The White Water Sect was a force in the Great Xing Mountain and had a high reputation there.
Even the renowned Shadow Tower is no match for the White Water Sect in the ranking of strength in the Great Xing Mountain, which shows that the White Water Sect is extremely powerful!
