Chapter 320

As for what Chen Fan was thinking, Diana clearly could not empathize; born into royalty, she had long been accustomed to cold-blooded ruthlessness.

She curled her lip and said: "Chen Fan, you've killed the people, so can you come with me to pick the Soul Spirit Fruits now?"

Chen Fan did not respond to her, but opened the space barrier.

A group of foreign ability users fell to the ground with a clatter, and those who were already seriously injured immediately let out wails.

"Shut up, all of you!" Chen Fan scolded.

These people collectively lost their voices instantly. Facing a ruthless person who had easily killed two top prodigies, they had grievances but dared not speak.

These people were truly beaten into fear; seeing Chen Fan was like a mouse seeing a cat, their souls trembling involuntarily.

"Hand over the Soul Spirit Fruits on you, and you can leave," Chen Fan said, standing in front of the crowd.

How could this group dare not obey? Now, being able to survive was more important than anything else.

The crowd lined up, one by one stepping forward to be checked and to hand over their Soul Spirit Fruits.

As for those without Soul Spirit Fruits, they could also leave if they handed over everything valuable on them.

Ten minutes later, only the six of them remained here.

Diana looked at the twenty-some Soul Spirit Fruits on the ground and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Chen Fan, this princess can reluctantly admit that you are still quite smart. This move of killing two birds with one stone not only killed the people you wanted to kill, but also almost wiped out all the Soul Spirit Fruits here."

Chen Fan did not reply, but divided the Soul Spirit Fruits in front of him into five portions.

Ye Tingxuan, Zhan Le, Zhong Li, Gao Hongfei, and himself each got one portion.

As for Diana, she got none.

Diana was immediately displeased: "Chen Fan, where is mine?"

Chen Fan looked at her and revealed a somewhat meaningful smile: "Didn't you say you were going to take me to a place where there are many Soul Spirit Fruits? You shouldn't be short of these few, right?"

"You!" Diana's chest heaved violently with anger.

"Chen Fan, you are too much. You made me act as your thug, and you won't even share a single Soul Spirit Fruit with me!" She pointed at Chen Fan's nose, so angry she was about to cry.

"Fine, fine, fine, I'll give you one, okay?" Chen Fan took out one of his own Soul Spirit Fruits and stuffed it into Diana's hand.

Diana angrily put the Soul Spirit Fruit into the space ring Chen Fan had previously given her, but she still did not want to let it go.

Chen Fan changed the subject: "Tell me about the place you're planning to take me to, so I can properly distinguish whether you are lying to me."

Diana immediately widened her eyes: "Chen Fan! Don't slander people, okay? That place really has many Soul Spirit Fruits, even more than what you have now."

"Heh, would you take me along for such a good thing?" Chen Fan clearly did not believe her.

"I'm taking you because I think you're a decent person, okay?" Diana huffed coldly.

But facing Chen Fan's look that said 'you're trying to fool a fool,' Diana still said: "That place is too dangerous. It's guarded by exotic beasts. It's impossible to break in without Seventh-Rank Late Stage strength."

"Oh? So that's why I'm your thug?" Chen Fan understood.

Diana said viciously: "Information is the most important thing. I have the information, you have the strength. We combine our strengths, and splitting the collected Soul Spirit Fruits in half is very fair."

"Fine... then." Chen Fan answered extremely reluctantly.

"If you don't want to go, forget it. I'll go find other partners."

"Heh, it seems the only ones in the secret realm with Seventh-Rank Late Stage combat power now are Amir from India, right? Are you sure he's willing to pay attention to you?" Chen Fan asked with a smile.

"You!" Diana discovered that when it came to arguing with Chen Fan, she would always be at a disadvantage and could only curse Chen Fan frantically in her heart.

At this time, Chen Fan looked at Ye Tingxuan and the others: "Senior Sister, you all find a hidden place to hide and wait until the secret realm opens before coming out."

Ye Tingxuan and the others naturally agreed. With so many Soul Spirit Fruits in their hands now, wandering around was truly unwise.

After descending Giant Finger Mountain, Chen Fan parted ways with the Jiangcai Camp group and followed Diana toward the source of that great river.

By now, Chen Fan's reputation had already resounded throughout the entire Lingze Secret Realm, and everyone would avoid him the moment they saw him from afar.

Chen Fan was also happy to be idle.

The two traveled west along this great river, and soon, they passed by that Thunder-Struck Valley again.

In the Thunder-Struck Valley, the Nine Nether Divine Thunder was still surging, preventing any living creature from stepping inside.

Chen Fan looked at Diana and said: "I dropped something inside. I'm going in for a trip."

Diana curled her lip slightly but did not stop him.

Chen Fan appeared in the central area of the Thunder-Struck Valley with a few teleports.

A few more Soul Spirit Fruits had ripened here. Chen Fan was immediately delighted, picked them, and put them into his space ring.

Chen Fan patrolled the Thunder-Struck Valley again and found that there were still four or five Soul Spirit Fruits that had not yet ripened.

"With so many Soul Spirit Fruit trees here, it must be that the exotic beasts in the Lingze Secret Realm cannot break in here, so they haven't caused damage to the fruit trees. As time goes on, there are more and more Soul Spirit Fruit trees."

Chen Fan muttered to himself as he looked at the unripe Soul Spirit Fruits in front of him.

He could only collect these on his way back.

When he appeared beside Diana again, Diana huffed: "How many Soul Spirit Fruits did you collect this time?"

"Where would there be Soul Spirit Fruits? There aren't any, okay?" Chen Fan said without a hint of shame.

"Heh, I can smell the fragrance coming from the Thunder-Struck Valley even standing here. It would be strange if there weren't any Soul Spirit Fruits there!"

"There really aren't any. If you don't believe me, go in and look for yourself," Chen Fan waved his hand.

Diana stomped her feet hard and continued walking forward.

Without a word, the two walked for a full day and night, but still had not reached the end of the great river.

However, the river channels on both sides had narrowed significantly, and the terrain had become increasingly steep. Clearly, they were not far from the source of the river.

Along the way, Chen Fan discovered dozens of Soul Spirit Fruit trees, but most of the Soul Spirit Fruits on the trees had already vanished.

But Chen Fan summarized a rule: the closer they got to the source of the river, the more frequently Soul Spirit Fruit trees appeared.

This gave rise to a question in Chen Fan's heart.

Perhaps there were some special minerals at the source of this river, which was why so many Soul Spirit Fruit trees were born on both sides of the river.

But this idea of his was fiercely scorned by Diana.

"If minerals could nurture Soul Spirit Fruit trees, then Blue Star would have already achieved Soul Spirit Fruit cultivation, okay?"

Chen Fan had to admit that what Diana said was very reasonable.

As for what was actually at the source, perhaps only by seeing it on the spot would he know.

The two walked for another half day, and the terrain in front of them suddenly rose by a thousand meters, as if it had been carved by knives and axes.

The river water flew straight down three thousand feet along the cliff, and the scene was exceptionally spectacular.

The two flew up and arrived at the top of the waterfall. Looking out, everything in front of them was like a paradise.

In a huge pool, spring water gushed out, and the water in the pool flowed out along a gap, forming this waterfall.

And around the pool, green trees provided shade, and there were no fewer than a hundred Soul Spirit Fruit trees in the surroundings.

The Soul Spirit Fruit trees here were extremely unusual, far sturdier than the Soul Spirit Fruit trees Chen Fan had seen before, and many of the fruit trees had as many as four or five Soul Spirit Fruits growing on them.

Chen Fan was immediately delighted, but looking around, there was not a single ripe Soul Spirit Fruit here.

Chen Fan couldn't help but frown; it seemed someone had already picked all the ripe Soul Spirit Fruits.

"This place is a bit strange," Chen Fan said to Diana.

However, there was no response for a long time. Chen Fan was startled, only then realizing that Diana was already nowhere to be seen.
