God of Fishing

Chapter 780: For the Sake of the Valuable Materials

The Hundred-Year Tree Demon was riddled with holes.

Yu Hun uprooted the tree and crumbled it with demonic Qi, making it impossible to survive.

At this moment, everybody looked at Han Fei curiously.

Of so many trees out there, why did he attack this one in particular?

Han Fei remained as calm as before. “Looking for the differences among similar things is the basic rule for you to survive the sea.”

Everyone: “...”

Many of them didn’t evolve from fish at all but were offspring of Half-Mermen and Half-Mermaids. Some of them did evolve from fish, but it had been such a long time that they had forgotten their vigilance before their awakening.

Yu Ji frowned and said, “I noticed the tree too. It looked no different from other trees. It had fewer leaves, but...”

Suddenly, Yu Ji gasped. “I should’ve suspected it sooner.”

Yu Hun solemnly said, “Everybody, be cautious. We’ve just arrived here, but a Hundred-Year Tree Demon has caused the death of two Heavenly Talents. It’s evident how terrifying the spiritual plants are! For your information, there are also Thousand-Year Tree Demons and even Ten-Thousand-Year ones in this mysterious channel.”

“Hiss!”

This time, everybody including Han Fei was shocked. A Hundred-Year Tree Demon was already tricky enough. What about the Thousand-Year Tree Demons and Ten-Thousand-Year ones?

“Spiritual plants?”

The intelligent plants left a deep impression on Han Fei. This forest was like a garden to them, and their attacks were truly unpredictable. They were indeed worth paying attention to.

However, the more dangerous the channel was, the bigger the secret behind it would be.

Han Fei even wondered if the Little Treeman in the jungle in the level-two fishery was defending some sort of channel too.

However, on second thought, maybe it wasn’t right. If it had been defending a channel, an expert would’ve beaten it and explored the channel, and he wouldn’t have run into it at all.

He didn’t think about the question any longer. The algae and vines gradually slowed down and stopped attacking as if they lost their command.

Yu Ying seemed rather wary. “The Hundred-Year Tree Demon can control the spiritual plants nearby. We must be extra careful. Lord Yu Hun, are the Thousand-Year Tree Demons and the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Demons stronger than the Hundred-Year Tree Demons?”

Yu Hun nodded and then shook his head. “No. They’re all suppressed to level-49 in this place.”

“Huh?”

Someone asked in surprise, “Why? Aren’t they locals of this place?”

Yu Hun said casually, “According to the files from thirty years ago, they’re as suppressed by this space as we are. However, unlike us, they were naturally born in this world and seem to have melted into it. So, they’re more dangerous than we think.”

Someone asked, “Doesn’t it mean that they’re as strong as each other?”

Yu Hun looked at him as if he were an idiot. “How can a hundred years, a thousand years and ten thousand years be the same? Why would the seniors distinguish them if they were? It’s said that the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Demons are more mysterious and aggressive than the Hundred-Year Tree Demons. Their Thousand-Year Demonic Stings are as powerful as Semi-Divine Weapons.”

“Hiss!”

Everybody was appalled. As powerful as Semi-Divine Weapons? Wasn’t that terrifying?

Someone asked, “Then if we execute a Thousand-Year Tree Demon and loot its Thousand-Year Demonic Stings, can we use them as Semi-Divine Weapons?”

Everybody was thinking that including Han Fei. However, Han Fei moved one step further and wondered if the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Demons’ stings could be compared to real Divine Weapons if those of the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Demons were already so good.

Yu Hun slightly shook his head. “Not exactly. Do you think you just executed the Hundred-Year Tree Demon?”

Everybody was stunned. “Didn’t we?”

Yu Hun shook his head with a smile. “To some extent, we did, but the Tree Demons are special intelligent creatures who will bury their stings deep into the soil when they’re dying, so that they can grow up into a new Hundred-Year Tree Demon a hundred years later.”

“Huh?”

Everybody was astounded. One of them exclaimed, “Doesn’t it mean that the Tree Demons are immortal?”

Yu Hun chuckled. “No creatures are really immortal. Some of them are lucky to let their stings flee, but some aren’t lucky enough. Also, the fleeing stings have lost their wisdom, and even if they regrow into a Hundred-Year Tree Demon, it won’t be the old one, which is essentially dead!”

Han Fei was quite shocked as he listened.

In any case, according to what Yu Hun said, the Tree Demons were terrifying creatures. It was already impressive enough that they could “reincarnate” themselves when surrounded by so many people. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoᴠelFɪre.net

He glanced at everybody and saw solemness on everybody’s face.

...

In another corner, a great battle was going on.

However, this battle was much easier than the one Han Fei had.

Three manipulators were trying their best to control the crazy spiritual plants. In the middle of them, Luo Xiaobai closed her eyes and tightened her body, trying to seize the spirit.

Le Renkuang was madly clearing the spiritual plants nearby, and the soul warriors, armorists and hunters all surrounded Luo Xiaobai to protect her.

After about ten minutes, Luo Xiaobai opened her eyes quickly with a slightly pale face and said casually, “We’ve won.”

Le Renkuang was enthused. “Is the Hundred-Year Tree Demon ours now?”

Hardly had Le Renkuang said that when a tree ran out of a bunch of trees quickly.

However, the Hundred-Year Tree Demon was no longer aggressive but became a member of Luo Xiaobai’s team.

Luo Xiaobai said softly, “From its consciousness, I learned that the Thousand-Year Tree Demon is much stronger and it hasn’t met a Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Demon yet. However, there’s good news too... There are a lot of valuable materials in this place.”

...

In a place further away, a girl who was holding a flute became illusionary. She grabbed a Hundred-Year Demonic Sting with her fair hand, and she unleashed an unusual short sword that cut a Hundred-Year Tree Demon into pieces.

In the end, she seized the three-foot-long piton-shaped sting of the tree in her hand, and she put on a mysterious smile.

Above the woman, her nine teammates looked at the scene in shock.

If Han Fei were here, he would’ve recognized her to be Cao Jiaren, who was Cao Qiu’s elder sister and Cao Tian’s younger sister.

...

On the other hand, Han Fei and his team had resumed their exploration.

With the lesson they just learned, their operation was a lot safer than before. Th1s chapter is updated by n)ovel/\bin/\

Yu Ying demonstrated her magnificent strength at this moment. Hundreds of shadows appeared at the bottom of the sea, and the Hundred-Year Demonic Stings were stabbing crazily, but none hit her.

Yu Ying, however, threw out one shadow spear after another and shackled a tree with thirty of them.

Han Fei observed the scene quietly. He barely attacked and had been watching others. After all, with the contributions he already made, he could save his energy and observe the people he was plotting against.

Yu Ying was the one that Han Fei paid most attention to. She was even more important than Yu Ji to him.

It was because her shadow carried a sealing effect that was similar to Xia Xiaochan’s Shadow Kill.

Six hours passed.

Han Fei didn’t hear a single Demon Shrill, which either meant that no teams were around or that the number of casualties was acceptable in every team and Demon Shrilling wasn’t worth it.

At this moment, Yu Hun found a spiritual fruit from a nest of anemones that was full of tentacles.

Surprisingly, the spiritual fruit was more effective than all the spiritual fruits that Han Fei had seen.

Information popped up in his eyes.

<Name> Sunflower Fruit

<Introduction> This is an amazing fruit that grows in anemones. It can improve spiritual power.

<Level> Demon Level

<Quality> Ultra

<Spiritual Energy> 356,000 points

<Effect> It can increase a significant amount of spiritual energy and ten percent of spiritual power when eaten directly. Doesn’t work for creatures above the Hidden Fisher level. You cannot improve your spiritual power by eating other fruits in another 49 days. It cannot be eaten repeatedly.

Han Fei gasped after reading the information of the spiritual fruit. Not only did it have plenty of spiritual energy, but it could even increase ten percent of spiritual power! How hard was it to cultivate spiritual power? One Sunflower Fruit could save so much time of training?

Han Fei’s spiritual power had only been increased from 1,912 points to 2,164 points after he passed the 72 demon realms, yet a spiritual fruit could enable the same increase? Was it serious?

Yu Ji was as shocked as Han Fei was. “Is this a Sunflower Fruit?”

Yu Hun nodded. “It is. I didn’t expect that we would find such a rare spiritual fruit so easily. This sea forest must’ve been unvisited for years.”

Suddenly, Yu Hun roared, “Everybody, listen up. While we remain careful and cautious, whoever finds valuable materials first on the rest of the trip will have claim to them. The Sunflower Fruit was found by Yu Ying, so it’s hers.”

Immediately, Han Fei couldn’t have looked angrier. He’d spotted it way ahead of her, but he kept a low profile and didn’t touch it.

“Damn it, for the sake of the valuable materials, I cannot keep a low profile anymore!”
