《Overlord in Cultivation》11. Vermillion Fruits
Advertisement
The whole Wilderness was very large. Great changes had occurred to the geography of the territory because of the variation of the Earth. Even the news reported that the area of the Earth had enlarged. Someone suspected the Earth was alive, and it could grow by itself!
Now these beliefs were still unfounded, and all the geographic features of the Earth would be explored only when the Huaxia Alliance became strong enough.
In the Wilderness there were numerous mountains. Bathing in the natural essence, the Earth had a life of its own. In the age of revival, the Earth was covered with millions of ancient trees shrouding the sky and rolling mountains crossing thousands of miles away.
"Damn you, I just took a bird egg, and you chase me like this?"
Su Yan escaped while pouring out his endless grievances. Behind him, a terrible ferocious bird was chasing him, with its giant wings spread out, stirring up a gale in the forest.
This was absolutely a monster lord. Su Yan had traversed the Wilderness for more than 80 miles, and he did not expect to meet a lunatic at such a critical moment. "It would have to be a Golden-feathered Eagle!"
Taking a hurried look at it, Su Yan found several brilliant golden feathers on its big wings, and he immediately confirmed that it was absolutely a “Golden-feathered Eagle”, one of the mightiest among beast lord!
When it flared up, the gust from its flapping wings shook the ancient rustling trees, causing leaves to fly wildly all over.
The Golden-feathered Eagle eyes locked onto Su Yan and chased after him even when he threw away the egg.
Su Yan fled, surveying the geographical advantage and deciding what to do. Just at this moment, his heart trembled violently from the strong heat from the Dragon Totem. But clearly the heat it released this time was not meant for the mountain treasure!
“Trace of treasure!”
Su Yan almost cried. He came to the Wilderness in search of treasure, but he had been searching for more than a month without finding anything. Now he finally met one.
“Run!”
Su Yan crossed the mountains as fast as the wind. Because of Golden-feathered Eagle’s mightiness, beasts here didn’t dare to compete with it for food.
The temperature emitted by the Dragon Totem was getting hotter and hotter. When his arm was about to burn, Su Yan almost jumped into a lake with a small patch of land in the middle.
“Right here!”
Su Yan quickly noticed that a faint fragrance was coming from the land in the middle of the lake.
“Chirping!”
At this moment, the Golden-feathered Eagle rushed at him, its huge wings stirring up high waves on the lake. However, its icy eyes moved away from Su Yan and looked at the land in the middle of the lake.
There were many trees with luxuriant foliage and spreading branches. The Golden-feathered Eagle flapped its huge wings, uprooting ancient trees and generating strong winds.

“Hissing!”
Suddenly, a bloody black tail shot high into the sky and hit the Golden-feathered Eagle, producing an enormous force that collapsed the clouds high up in the sky.
“My goodness, this is a black snake!”
Su Yan’s face changed greatly. He hid in the rocks and opened his eyes wide to see the ancient tree coiled by the black snake. It was red all over, from its trunk and through its branches to its leaves. Moreover, there were three red fruits on it!
“This…this is the Vermillion Fruit!”
Su Yan overcome with surprise and joy. These were very rare and valuable treasures. It was recorded in the treasure maps of the Academy Library that a Vermillion Fruit was worth over hundreds of millions of Huaxia coins! More importantly, it was not available in the market, no matter how high of a price you bid.
A Vermillion Fruit could enhance Qi and blood and prolong life, which was very suitable for body refining!
The Golden-feathered Eagle also saw the fruit and immediately let out a sharp cry of fury. Its big claws swooped down to hit the black snake’s tail.
The black snake was roaring with rage. These Vermillion Fruits it had been guarding for ten years would mature soon. Once swallowed, it would evolve into a beast king.
The fight was fierce. Both the black snake and the Golden-feathered Eagle would not give up this opportunity, which made Su Yan’s heart beat faster. He wished that they would both end up severely defeated and wounded.
“Rumbling!”
The lake was shaking. The fight between the mighties of beast lords was quite astonishing. Their breath could easily shatter the earth and destroy the hillside.
The two monsters were equally powerful, but the Golden-feathered Eagle had a natural advantage, and how could the black snake give up its good fortune?
Their fight was ferocious. Both of them broke into angry roars and crashed hard in the air, staining the lake red with their splashing blood.
The Golden-feathered Eagle 's claws were broken. But there was a ferocious wound on the black snake's body that nearly torn it into two pieces.
“This is insane!”
Su Yan’s blood was boiling. The black snake gave out a sharp and frantic hiss that seemed to crack rocks, with its sturdy body crushing and cleaving the ground into parts. It roared with its head held high to vent its anger.
With a cold breath, the Golden-feathered Eagle attacked again. This time, it dived down and its giant wings closed to form a defensive posture to hit the black snake with a hard blow!
“How powerful!”
Su Yan stared at the Golden-feathered Eagle’s attacking form with eyes wide open. He could not help wonder if he might be able to draw forth his own Qi and blood to successfully evolve into the eagle form of Form-Intention Boxing.
This was the Golden-feathered Eagle’s killing trick. He had thought that the black snake would be crushed to death. But quite unexpectedly, the black snake opened its bloody mouth cunningly, shooting a blazing flame straight to the Golden-feathered Eagle.

The Golden-feathered Eagle cried out in pain, with its feathers nearly burnt off. Su Yan was shocked. It was actually a rare Water & Fire Snake, one of the most powerful beasts in the same rank by its fighting capacity!
The flaming Golden-feathered Eagle was by no means weak. It now tore fiercely at the snake’s body with its two giant claws, ripping many of the snake’s body into pieces.
“Hissing!”
Many parts of the Water & Fire Snake’s body were indeed fragmented, but it wrapped itself ferociously around the Golden-feathered Eagle, flames shooting out of its mouth to burn the Golden-feathered Eagle to death.
Su Yan knew the Snake’s intention, which was of course, a play to cause destruction to both sides. However, the one that won the fight would get the fruit, and immediately recover from any serious injury.
“Just wait!”
Su Yan 's heart beat faster. He suppressed his inner impulse and crouched there to wait.
Time passed bit by bit. As it ticked away, the Golden-feathered Eagle’s breath became weaker. It was entangled by the Water & Fire Snake and was burned black all over. The Water & Fire Snake was also blood-stained, getting weaker and exhausted.
Finally, the Golden-feathered Eagle couldn’t make it and was burned to death.
“Hissing!”
Suddenly, the Water & Fire Snake roared with its head held high, its body stinking of blood and its eyes filled with anger. While taking a breath of relief, it saw a young man in white running towards it with a big black iron rod!
The Water & Fire Snake sprayed a flame to burn Su Yan. However, Su Yan had been guarding against it. He ducked the flames with a quick leap.
Su Yan 's breath quickly revived to the strongest level, and his body was filled with fluctuating Qi and blood. Carrying a big black iron rod in his hands, he came down from above and hit the dying Water & Fire Snake with full momentum!
“Rumbling!”
Su Yan hit the snake hard on the head, which was now too exhausted to avoid his attack.
The rolling of the big iron rod jarred Su Yan 's hands until they were numb.
“Bang!”
Under such a powerful blow, the Snake’s head fell apart, and it was almost smashed by Su Yan 's strongest power!
“Cannon Boxing!”
Shouting loud, Su Yan focused on cultivating potentials from his bones, and fully recovering his Qi and blood. Then he did his best to concentrate all the strength to his fist!
At this moment, his fist turned into a human-projectile, spreading out a strong wave of power, and he again bombarded the head of the black snake.
Coming down from above, this blow burst the black snake’s head!
Falling to the ground, it swayed several times and quickly died.
With a cold sweat on his back, Su Yan breathed heavily. Looking back on what he had just done, he was horrified and didn't know why he rushed out.
“I will be calm later. Though the treasure is good, it can be only be when I am alive!”
Su Yan’s heart beat faster. If he had failed, he would have been the one who died, not the black snake!
“You’re right. Though the treasure is good, it can be taken only when you are alive!”
At this point, the laughter broke out, and two shadows appeared from the lake. They stared at Su Yan with disdain in their eyes. Seeing the Vermillion Fruit, the black snake and the Golden-feathered Eagle, they almost shouted excitedly!
This was a huge fortune. The two beast lords alone were worth over several million Huaxia coins, let alone the three Vermillion Fruits!
This amounted to three years of total income for an awoken with 100 horsepower.
Money and cultivation were closely related. There was great hope to enter into the Destiny Spring Realm after getting these resources.
“What do you want!”
Su Yan's face changed. It was Tang Gaoyang and his guys. They had invited Su Yan when they came to the Wilderness, but one person was missing.
“We’re rich. We’re filthy rich. Ha Ha Ha!”
An Yuandong trembled with excitement. Would he need to earn money again after getting the Vermillion Fruit? They three came together, but Tong Gaoyang’s female companion died in the beast's mouth. God knew when it would be their turn. But with this huge fortune, it was totally different!
“Three actual Vermillion Fruits!”
Tang Gaoyang had a scar on his face. He suppressed his inner excitement and said coldly: “To tell you the truth, I had discovered these fruits long ago. I was planning to you as bait. That’s why I invited you last time. But I didn't expect that you would bring something much better. Anyway, you must die!”
“Ruthless!” Su Yan suddenly clenched his fist tight.
He was not commenting on Tong Gaoyang’s words. What he really meant was that Tong Gaoyang, wielding the long blade in his hand, beheaded An Yuandong without any hesitation.
Immersing in his dream of throwing money like mud, he didn’t even know who killed him.
“Compared to dividing the treasures into two parts, it's better for me to take them all by myself. I never expected that I would have such an opportunity. Even with hundreds of millions of Huaxia coins, it is still difficult to buy three Vermillion Fruits. Such valuable treasure is unavailable for sale!”
Tang Gaoyang laughed. He carried a long knife dripping blood, his face looking so vicious that the scar twisted faintly. Staring fiercely at Su Yan, he said with the weirdest tone ever: “You’re Su Yan!”
