Chapter 803: The Legendary Vermilion Fruit (Second update, requesting everything)

After arriving before the treasure vat, Li Zhangsheng repeated his old trick, slamming his fist hard against the barrier outside the treasure vat; this time, he used his full strength.

Pop—

The energy barrier enveloping the treasure vat fluctuated violently, but it did not dissipate, merely becoming slightly dimmer in color.

As expected, the defensive power of the treasure vats in the inner zone had once again significantly increased.

Given the defense and recovery rate of this energy barrier, Li Zhangsheng feared it would take another two or three punches to smash it.

"Kailan!"

Following Li Zhangsheng's order, Kailan waved her hands, wielding the Dark Green Light Blade, and slashed down with a sword strike.

A crescent-shaped sword beam, over ten meters long, was released, instantly crossing a distance of several dozen meters and striking the energy screen with undiminished power.

Under the impact of the sword beam, the energy screen resisted for a moment, then, as if it were tofu, it was suddenly split in two and vanished.

The sword beam did not dissipate and continued forward, grazing past the treasure vat before splitting a small hill a hundred meters away in two, the cut surface shining brilliantly.

With just a single strike, Kailan had broken the energy barrier, which was much stronger than Li Zhangsheng.

Of course, if Li Zhangsheng transformed into a Hundred-Armed Giant, he would also be confident in breaking the energy barrier in one strike, but he could not do it with the same effortless ease as Kailan.

Having lost the protection of the energy barrier, Li Zhangsheng successfully retrieved the treasure from the treasure vat.

Li Zhangsheng frowned slightly; unlike before, this treasure vat contained only one treasure box, not two as in the previous three treasure vats.

"Perhaps there is a better treasure inside!"

Li Zhangsheng thought to himself and opened the box, which was only the size of an adult's palm.

Suddenly, a dazzling radiance emerged, and within this light, Li Zhangsheng vaguely saw a fruit rush out of the box, as if it had consciousness, looking as though it were about to break through the air and fly away.

Li Zhangsheng did not make a move; surrounded by eight Demon Beasts, how could this fruit possibly escape?

Meow—

In an instant, the naive and charming cat call of Baitian rang out, and a milky-white ray of light shot from the Sun Banner mark on its forehead, precisely hitting the fruit that was trying to escape.

Baitian was naturally not stupid enough to destroy the fruit; the moment it hit, the light seemed to turn into a rope, winding around the fruit layer by layer, instantly wrapping it up.

Baitian flicked its head, and the light dragged the fruit over, landing in Li Zhangsheng's hand, before it shook off the light energy that formed the beam.

From beginning to end, the fruit was not harmed in the slightest.

This level of control was naturally the result of Baitian's training.

Not just Baitian, the other Demon Pets also spent time every day exercising their control over energy, striving to achieve their goals with minimal waste.

Although most battles were relatively short, they occasionally encountered evenly matched opponents; in those cases, whoever persisted longer had a higher win rate and could last longer when facing a war of attrition.

When Li Zhangsheng grabbed the fruit, it showed no signs of struggling, as if the scene just now had never happened, which made Li Zhangsheng feel strange.

Li Zhangsheng carefully examined the fruit and strangely discovered that it had no consciousness at all; then why had it flown away just now?

Could someone be playing tricks in the dark?

No, Li Zhangsheng was surrounded by eight Demon Beasts; who would be so bored as to take the initiative to offend Li Zhangsheng? Once exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Li Zhangsheng did not dwell on it and began to identify the fruit.

The fruit was slightly larger than an infant's fist, entirely blood-red, with dew still on it, giving one the feeling that it had just been picked.

This was not an illusion; the Heavenly Dao is the conscious entity formed by this world and possesses the highest Authority, so it can naturally take away any Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure formed by this world at will.

Of course, the Heavenly Dao is impartial and great; it will not seize items that have owners, including treasures that fallen Stronger individuals prepared for inheritance.

This was also the first time Li Zhangsheng had seen this kind of fruit; although there were many similar fruits, only one matched it perfectly.

Vermilion Fruit!

Li Zhangsheng had not expected this to be a Vermilion Fruit.

In many worlds, the Vermilion Fruit can be found; it can be said to be the most common Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

Even so, the conditions for the gestation of a Vermilion Fruit are extremely harsh, and its cycle is very long, making it a quite rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure even in the Great Thousand World.

Because the rules of each world are different, the effects of the Vermilion Fruit also differ slightly; for example, the Vermilion Fruit in the Fairy World mainly acts on the Bloodline Metamorphosis of Demon Pets.

Vermilion Fruit: A Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure. When consumed by a Demon Pet with a bloodline below the Rich Bloodline, it can directly increase the bloodline concentration by one level; when consumed by a Demon Pet with a Rich Bloodline, there is a high probability of raising the bloodline by one grade. Note: Ineffective for Demon Pets with a Robust Bloodline.

Although it is also a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure of the Bloodline Metamorphosis type, the efficacy of the Vermilion Fruit far exceeds that of the Bloodline Fruit; after all, the effect of the latter is about the same as Yaochi gold and jade.

Hmm, one is Heaven and Earth Essence, the other is a Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure; this is a difference in grade.

"Good stuff!"

Li Zhangsheng let out a sigh of relief. Although the Vermilion Fruit and the Zixiao Miemo Xuancha Baozhu both belong to the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade, the value of the former is several times that of the latter.

This is related to their efficacy, and even more closely related to the market.

Among treasures of the same grade, the most valuable are often those of the Bloodline Metamorphosis type and those that assist in breakthroughs.

"I'll use it myself."

Li Zhangsheng stared at the Vermilion Fruit for a long time before finally making a decision.

Among his many Demon Pets, those possessing a Rich Bloodline include Aixi, Datou, the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast, the Two-Headed Dragon, Xier Yasina, and the Spirit-Devouring Rat, and even the Crowned Sunlight Luan (whose Vermilion Bird Bloodline has not yet reached the Robust Bloodline).

However, Aixi, Datou, and the Crowned Sunlight Luan are all dual-bloodline Demon Pets, and a lot of the Spirit Essence related to them has already been collected; it would only take some time to gather enough.

The Two-Headed Dragon possesses an Atavism state, so there is no need to waste it, and this guy doesn't seem to need any treasures.

As for the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast, Li Zhangsheng captured a Zixiao Leopard-Lin Beast, and with some stock on hand, it would only take him some time to gather enough.

In this way, only Xier Yasina and the Spirit-Devouring Rat remained.

Originally, Li Zhangsheng had a jar of Ancestral Red Dragon Essence Blood, but it had already been used by Xier Yasina; now, he did not have much Ancestral Red Dragon Essence Blood on hand, and Xier Yasina's next evolution was a long way off.

The same goes for the Spirit-Devouring Rat; Demon Pets possessing Spirit-Devouring Rat Spirit Essence are too rare. Li Zhangsheng had only seen a few; apart from Dou Yuanbin's Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat, the others were all below the Rich Bloodline, and he didn't even have half a jar of Spirit-Devouring Rat Spirit Essence.

Sorry, I'm three hours late!
