Chapter 150: Damn it, that guy is here again! (Tenth update, you)
Following the direction from which the scent emanated, Li Zhangsheng looked over.
It was a desolate area with only a touch of green; the ground was littered with the skeletons of Spirit Beasts, appearing quite abrupt within the lush Green Wild Forest.
Very quickly, Li Zhangsheng's gaze locked onto that touch of green.
This was a massive banyan tree, requiring ten people to encircle it, but unlike ordinary banyan trees, a red and green fruit had grown at the very top of its canopy.
The fruit was round and plump, crystal clear, and faintly emitted a dim, blood-colored halo; as time passed, the blood-colored halo grew increasingly vibrant, causing the fragrance it emitted to become richer as well.
Regardless of shape, color, or scent, this fruit was completely different from the banyan tree's original fruit.
"It really is a Bloodline Fruit!" Upon seeing this fruit, Li Zhangsheng was immediately filled with uncontrollable excitement.
"Could it be that I am a Child of Luck?" Gazing at the Bloodline Fruit from afar, such a thought could not help but surface in Li Zhangsheng's mind.
Any species of tree had the potential to produce a Bloodline Fruit, but the probability was minuscule; a Bloodline Fruit that an ordinary Monster Tamer might not see in a lifetime, Li Zhangsheng, on the other hand, had encountered another one after only two months.
Li Zhangsheng was very clear about the effects of the Bloodline Fruit; it was only after Aixi ate a Bloodline Fruit that she evolved from a Striped White-Forehead Tiger into a Savage Saber-Toothed Tiger, which could be described as a earth-shaking change.
However, a Bloodline Fruit does not necessarily strengthen a bloodline; the success rate is related to the quality of the Spirit Beast and the concentration of its bloodline. The higher the quality of the Spirit Beast and the lower the bloodline concentration, the higher the success rate, and vice versa!
If the bloodline strengthening fails, although the Spirit Beast that consumed it will not be in danger of death, it will have a period of weakness.
"It will take about another hour for this Bloodline Fruit to fully mature!" Due to his past experience, Li Zhangsheng only had to take one look to roughly judge the maturation time of the Bloodline Fruit.
An immature Bloodline Fruit is not only devoid of any efficacy, but it is also a rare and highly toxic substance; no matter who sees it, they would obediently guard the Bloodline Fruit and wait until it matures.
However, Li Zhangsheng did not rashly approach the banyan tree; the bleached bones near the banyan tree seemed to be telling him that danger existed there.
Yet, after observing for a while, what Li Zhangsheng found strange was that there seemed to be no wild Spirit Beasts near the banyan tree.
"In the sky? Or underground? Whatever, I'll just lure it or them out first!"
An unknown enemy is the most terrifying!
If it were an enemy in the open, Li Zhangsheng could make a series of targeted deployments; even if the gap in strength were large, he could borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and take the opportunity to build a connection with some big shot in the Academy.
The Bloodline Fruit has powerful effects; even Kings would flock to it, let alone those who are not Kings.
How to lure the snake out of its hole?
The most effective method is to probe; for the sake of safety, Li Zhangsheng had no intention of probing it himself. His idea was very simple: find a wild Spirit Beast to probe it.
Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng projected his Mental Power. There were very few wild Spirit Beasts nearby, and they were all at a distance from the banyan tree. This was also unavoidable; as long as wild Spirit Beasts smell the scent of the Bloodline Fruit, they almost lose their sanity and approach it. If a powerful Spirit Beast is lurking near the Bloodline Fruit, the fate of these Spirit Beasts can be imagined.
The next moment, Li Zhangsheng mounted Aixi. In the blink of an eye, countless scenes flew past rapidly. When Aixi stopped, two Tusked White Pigs appeared before him.
This was a "refugee" pair of a male and a female. The sow was originally the first wife of the Tusked White Pig tribe leader, looking stout and round, clearly the type that is good at bearing offspring; as for the boar, it looked fat and strong, and even had the ambition to become the new leader of the tribe.
Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?
Seeing Li Zhangsheng again, the boar's mind went blank, and it subconsciously asked itself a round of the three soul questions.
Damn it, that guy is here again!
In the boar's eyes, Li Zhangsheng was no different from a demon. It finally reacted. Recalling the tragic encounter of the tribe leader not long ago, the hair all over its body stood on end. It arched its rear, knocking the sow to the ground, just enough to block Li Zhangsheng's path, and tucked its tail and ran.
To hell with the sow!
To hell with ambition!
It is a hero among pigs; how could it be dragged down by a woman!
As long as it lives well, there will be a chance to become the tribe leader in the future; at the very least, it's better than being roasted and eaten by a human.
The sow struggled to climb up, but was stepped on by Aixi. Its body felt as if it were bearing the weight of a thousand jun, and it could not stand up no matter what. It stopped struggling and looked back at the lover who had tucked his tail and abandoned it, feeling endless sorrow in its heart.
I am so stupid, really!
Under the pressure of death, the boar broke through its own limits. It ran away as if it had lost its way, wishing it had grown a few more legs, only hoping that Li Zhangsheng would spare its pig life for the sake of it running fast enough!
"Aixi, don't let it run away!" Unfortunately, Li Zhangsheng had no intention of letting the boar go. The more bait, the lower the unknown factors.
According to common sense, there is a very high probability that the guardian of the Bloodline Fruit is a solitary Spirit Beast, but one cannot rule out the factor that it has a family, or even that it might be an entire tribe!
For the sake of safety, Li Zhangsheng decided to catch a few more wild Spirit Beasts.
Even if the boar broke through its limits, its racial talent and rank were there; how could it be a match for Aixi?
In the time of a few breaths, Aixi easily caught up to the boar and, under the boar's desperate gaze, slapped it to the ground.
Soon, Aixi dragged the boar back.
"Kailan, Sleep Powder!" Under Li Zhangsheng's instruction, Kailan quickly mobilized the energy in its body, and immediately a large amount of bright yellow powder was shaken out, covering the two Tusked White Pigs.
After inhaling the powder, the eyelids of the two Tusked White Pigs seemed to be fighting, constantly opening and closing, until finally they could no longer hold on, and they lay limply on the ground, fast asleep.
Not long after, Li Zhangsheng captured a few more wild Spirit Beasts, hypnotized them all, and finally had Aixi drag them into the coverage area of the Bloodline Fruit's scent.
Because she had eaten a Bloodline Fruit, Aixi had a certain resistance to the scent of the Bloodline Fruit and was no longer as unable to restrain herself as before.
Even so, Aixi was quite envious; who wouldn't want to become stronger?
"Kailan, dispel their sleep state!"
Under Li Zhangsheng's command, Kailan released a rich green light, covering all the sleeping wild Spirit Beasts.
The next moment, the few wild Spirit Beasts broke out of their sleep state. They opened their dazed eyes, and their first thought was to run away, but after smelling the scent of the Bloodline Fruit, they immediately cast aside the thought of running and rushed toward the Bloodline Fruit like crazy.
