141 THERE's A HAND

Long Yue was looking warily at the vermillion tree before him. He was hesitating between taking the initiative in harvesting the fruit or waiting for the arrival of reinforcement from his friends.

Ultimately, their goal was just lying right next before him. All he has to do is to make his move. But despite seeing that his goal was just within his reach, he knows that safety is of utmost importance.

He knew that getting the scarlet fire fruit is not as easy as it seems. It is more likely for him to meet another danger in the midst of obtaining the fruit.

Or it might even trigger some traps, so he better not act rashly.

He decided that it would be better if he could wait for the others to come. After all, it does not seem that the tree will run away.

But to his surprise, something unexpected happened. A strong tugging force got him and he ended up being dragged closer to the tree by some invisible force.

He was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events and as a result, he was not able to react right away. Before he knew it, he was already standing under the shade of the Scarlet Fire Fruit tree.

Looking at the tree up close, he could see that it actually bears a lot of fruits. Every branch of it holds a bunch of fist-sized scarlet fruits.

"So all this time, this tree has been yielding fruits that it got accumulated over time. Hmm... it's quite plenty."

Long Yue got Luna to climb the tree and took one fruit for him. In any case, since he was already standing right next to the tree itself, he thinks that he better make his move now.

But right after Luna swipes her paw to took one fruit from its branches, the fire that seems to be part of the tree started to weaken and the place started to turn darker because of it.

At the same time, the tree that used to be full of life just a while ago started to show signs of withering. It was as if that Luna's act of taking one of its fruit started to speed up its withering process as the tree started to turn gray for every second that pass.

"Luna. Quick, come here!"

Long Yue beckoned his cat to jump down from the tree and they started running away. The ground shook with great intensity. At the same time, cracks started to appear on the ground and it was as if something beneath from the ground was awakening.

Mu Lingxi and her friends also felt the tremendous shaking of the ground from where they are. But instead of slowing them down it further incites the group to move even faster.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.

They have to find Long Yue as fast as they could. This sudden shaking couldn't mean anything good. They gritted their teeth to fueled up as they leap from time to time. The cracks seem to get wider.

While running, Fan Lei stumbled on the ground. He felt that something grabs his leg just a while ago when he was running.

When he looked at what caused him to stumble, his eyes widened in shock.

"Th- ther- there's a hand!!!!!"

Apparently, the reason he stumbled is that there was a rotten hand poking out from one of the cracks in the ground and it was the one that grabs his leg.
