Shen Jue seized the opportunity and commanded his companions to concentrate their firepower on the largest black panther.
After a fierce battle, it was killed. Seeing this, the other black panthers seemed somewhat intimidated and no longer attacked as frantically as before.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, we should seize the moment and wipe out the entire black panther pack.
The battle ended, and they quickly left the area to continue their journey.
Led by the elf, they walked for a long time.
A fiery red light gradually appeared ahead, and the guardian spirit of the divine medicine exclaimed excitedly, "Sister, the Blazing Flame Fruit is in that forest of fire trees ahead!"
The group quickened their pace and entered the fire forest.
Strange flames burned on every tree, and in the center of the forest, a spiritual fruit radiating intense light hung from a branch of a giant tree.
As soon as Shen Jue and the others approached, they sensed a powerful energy fluctuation.
However, just as Shen Jue was about to pick the spirit fruit, a sudden voice interrupted their actions, "Don't even think about taking the Blazing Flame Spirit Fruit."
As the voice faded, a person shrouded in a black robe appeared before them.
The man in black robes held a staff that exuded an eerie aura, the gem at the top of the staff gleaming with a ghostly light.
"You outsiders are always coveting what doesn't belong to you. I've been guarding the Blazing Flame Fruit here for many years; how can you just take it as you please?" the black-robed man said coldly.
Shen Jue stepped forward and said, "Senior, we are not trying to steal it for no reason. We have a more important use for it and need this Blazing Flame Spirit Fruit. We hope that you will be lenient."
The man in black robes sneered: "Important use? Who in this world obtains divine medicine without seeking their own benefit? Don't try to deny it."
After speaking, the man in black robes waved his staff, and a black flame shot towards the crowd.
Shen Jue quickly cast a protective barrier, forming a shield to block the attack. The black flames struck the shield, producing a hissing sound, and the shield began to tremble violently.
The companions also joined the fray, engaging in a fierce battle with the man in black robes.
During the battle, Shen Jue discovered that although the black-robed man's magical abilities were powerful, he seemed to have a weakness: every time he cast a powerful magic spell, the gem at the top of his staff would dim briefly.
Shen Jue seized the opportunity. Just as the man in black robes was about to unleash another powerful spell, she flashed forward like a ghost, her sharp blade aimed directly at the gem at the top of the staff.
The man in black robes hadn't expected Shen Jue to be so bold. He had no time to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the sharp blade struck the gem.
The gem shattered instantly, and the black-robed man's magic dissipated as well. The black-robed man's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected that these outsiders would find an opening in his defense.
Taking the opportunity, Shen Jue said, "Senior, we really had no intention of offending you. Please grant our request."
The man in black robes remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Fine, I've lost. You can take the Blazing Flame Spirit Fruit. But let me make this clear: if you use this fruit for evil purposes, I will not let you off the hook."
Shen Jue and the others quickly expressed their gratitude. Shen Jue carefully picked the Blazing Flame Spirit Fruit and placed it in a specially made jade box.
After obtaining the Blazing Flame Spirit Fruit, the group dared not linger and quickly left Misty Island with Shen Jue.
Back on the raft, the group gazed at the gradually shrinking Misty Island, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
Although it was a bit of a close call, at least I got the Blazing Flame Spirit Fruit.
Next, all that's missing is the mermaid's tears from the azure sea...
