Chapter 557

It took a long time for the shadow of the giant tree to dissipate. The branches of the giant tree began to droop slowly, swaying in a seemingly boneless manner.

"The fruit is ready to be picked! Don't forget, you can only take one, "Neptune quickly reminded when he saw this.

Gu Ding rushed out and flew in front of the giant tree, only to find that the fruit was much bigger than he had imagined. It was nearly a meter in diameter. It was like a flawless white jade, sparkling and translucent. Moreover, it emitted a fresh fruit fragrance that made one feel relaxed and happy.

Gu Ding carefully reached out and plucked a white jade fruit from the end of one of the branches. He was not attacked by the fruit tree. After successfully storing it in his Inventory, he looked at the remaining fruit with a flash of reluctance in his eyes. However, he chose to fly away and did not pick the second fruit.

After leaving, Gu Ding did not go far. Instead, he hid himself not far away and waited for the others to arrive.

According to Neptune, although he could not pick the second fruit himself, he could rely on someone else to pick it. Then, he could snatch it himself, and he would not be attacked by the Universe Fruit Tree.

Not long after, a human deity flew over quickly. After seeing the Universe Fruit Tree, although he was not sure what kind of plant the big tree in front of him was, he guessed that it was the tree that had caused the commotion.

Looking at the end of a few branches with eight crystal clear fruits, he approached it slowly and carefully. When he reached the side of the Universe Fruit Tree, the giant tree did not move. Only then did he feel a little relieved. He reached out and plucked one of the fruits. At the same time, he looked at the giant tree with a vigilant face. When he found that the giant tree did not react, he was completely relieved.

Then, his eyes fell on the second fruit. He put the first one into his Inventory and reached for the second one. Just as his fingers touched the second fruit, a branch suddenly lashed out and sent him flying.

After the man flew out, he looked down at the spot where he had just been whipped, and then smiled ferociously. "I thought you were powerful, but you couldn't even break through my defense."

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed toward the Universe Fruit Tree again.

"This man is really digging his own grave. The Universe Fruit Tree just wanted to drive him away, so it didn't kill him. If he rushed up like this, he would be courting death. This kind of spiritual creature that was born from heaven and earth had heaven-defying combat strength, and was at least a half-step True God. Furthermore, its life force was shocking. Even the top twenty powerhouses on the Black Iron Monster Ranking would have to expend a lot of effort to kill it. "Neptune's voice was transmitted into Gu Ding's mind.

"This is unavoidable. Humans are greedy. We thought he was courting death, but he thought it was his chance. If you hadn't reminded me, I would've picked the rest of the fruit too, "Gu Ding openly admitted his thoughts.

While the two of them were communicating telepathically, the human lunged at the Universe Fruit Tree again with a long saber in his hand.

The Cosmos Fruit Tree seemed to be enraged as well. Several low-hanging branches swung out like long white whips, creating shadows in the void. They whizzed and whipped the human's body.

That person didn't even have time to defend himself before he was cut into several pieces by the branches' shadows, turning into energy fragments that gradually dissipated.

"This attack speed is indeed at the level of a One-star Half-Step True God." Gu Ding could tell the Cosmos Fruit Tree's combat strength at a glance. However, he could also tell that this was probably not the giant tree's full power attack.

After the human was killed, the intelligent wristwatch in his hand was thrown out. Gu Ding's figure flickered, and he reached out to catch the intelligent wristwatch. Neptune immediately seized control. Gu Ding checked the items in the Auxiliary Space. Apart from the Universe Fruit, there was nothing valuable on this person. Only then did Gu Ding put the wristwatch into his Inventory.

He also sensed that the Cosmos Fruit Tree not far away was using its Spirit Power to scan him. Its branches danced as if warning him not to get close.

Gu Ding did not care. As soon as the wristwatch was in his hand, he immediately ran into the dense forest and hid himself again.

Seeing that Gu Ding had left, the Cosmos Fruit Tree returned to its original state. Its branches drooped down and swayed gently.

"Three groups of people will arrive one after another. Two groups are from the Human Camp, and one group is from the Two-Headed Demon Tribe. More people will arrive one after another." Neptune had a clear picture of the current situation.

Gu Ding leisurely squatted on the branch of a big tree and waited patiently.

The three groups of people that Neptune had mentioned arrived one after another within two minutes of each other.

The first group was a small team from the Human Camp, consisting of six people. When they saw the towering tree, they did not immediately approach it. Instead, they seemed a little wary.

The second group was made up of seven Two-Headed Demons. When they saw the six people from the Human Camp, their eyes were fierce, but their attention was quickly drawn to the Cosmos Fruit Tree. When they saw that the Human Camp had arrived early, they did not pick the fruit, nor did they approach the giant tree rashly. However, the greed in their eyes was not hidden.

The third group was still a team from the Human Camp. There were more people, twelve of them. When they saw that the first two groups did not make a move to snatch the fruit, they did not make a move either. Instead, they walked toward the first group.

The leader of the third group was a woman who looked to be in her early twenties. She had a beautiful face and a graceful figure. Her pair of beautiful eyes had a captivating aura. She was obviously a very scheming woman. The other members of their team were all men. It was obvious that they had followed this woman because of her beauty.

The woman walked up to the small group of six. Her swaying waist made the six men's throats uncontrollably move. Her eyes were flirtatious as she said to the few of them, "Hello, big brothers."

"Yes, yes …" They quickly nodded.

Only the man who was the leader looked at her with a slight vigilance. Although they were all from the Human Camp, there were people who would stab people in the back in the Outland Battlefield, and there were many of them. The woman in front of him had obviously come with a purpose, so he had to be on guard.

"Is there a problem with that tree?" The woman pointed to the Cosmos Fruit Tree and asked with a smile on her face.

There was very little existing information about the Cosmos Fruit Tree. Many people had only heard its name and did not know much about it. It was said that a million years ago, the tree had borne fruit and caused a fight. The specific information was unknown. In reality, before this day, no one knew whether the tree could really bear fruit or not.

"We don't know, either. After we arrived, we were planning to slowly test the waters, but the two-headed demon came, so we could only watch," one of them hurriedly replied. However, his eyes were unable to shift away from the woman's chest.

"In other words, you don't know whether those fruits can be picked or not?" The woman was a little disappointed. She had thought that the other party would know some useful information, but they had only arrived a few minutes earlier and did not do anything.

After returning to her team, the woman smiled at the group of men in the team. "I'll reward whoever can help me get those fruits."

The 11 men were a little hesitant. Although they did not know what the tree was, with so many people standing there without doing anything, it was probably not a good idea to provoke it.

"Looks like you were all lying when you said you were willing to protect me for the rest of your lives and die for me." The woman was a little angry.

"Denise … Don't be angry, I'll go!" At that moment, a big man with a fierce face walked out of the crowd. He was more than two meters tall. Although he was afraid, he still wanted to show off in front of the woman.

"Hull, you're the best." The woman named Denise walked up to the big man and reached out to touch the man's chest. She looked up at the man affectionately for a moment, then stood on her tiptoes and left a kiss on the man's cheek.

The other men looked on enviously, wishing that the woman had kissed them instead.

The man named Hull suddenly forgot what danger was. His mind was in a mess, and he ran toward the giant tree as if he had been drugged with a potion.

"Why can't I tell that this woman has any Pupillary Abilities or hypnotic divine powers?" Gu Ding asked doubtfully.

"That's because she doesn't use Pupillary Abilities or hypnosis. She only uses people's lust to sow discord. In a way, it can be considered a simple seduction technique. If it's a truly powerful seduction divine power, it would be natural when used. Every move can affect a person's soul and unknowingly change a person's mind. It's even more terrifying than Lilliath's Pupillary Abilities. However, this is just child's play, "Neptune explained.

"It sounds like if Lilliath learns it and uses it with Pupillary Abilities, it should be very powerful." Gu Ding felt that this kind of thing was more suitable for Lilliath.

"Actually, I have a related technique, but I haven't taken it out because the seduction technique belongs to the category of witchcraft. Lilliath's Pupillary Abilities can target single or group attacks, and the target can be controlled. However, once the seduction technique is cultivated, it will naturally have a seductive effect on everyone around it. It's not controlled by the user. There's even a rumor that once a truly powerful seduction divine power is mastered, the power of seduction can overcome age, gender, race, and even various other factors to make people fall for it. "

"Legend has it that your human race's Emperor Beifeng cultivated a powerful seduction technique and formed a terrifying seduction divine ability, causing all the female creatures he pursued to be unable to resist his seduction. As a result, so many new races were born."

"It's that powerful?!" Gu Ding was stunned when he heard this.

"It should be. That's what it's recorded in my database. Emperor Beifeng is just one example. There's another example that's even more terrifying. It's said that there was a woman from the Abyss Devil Tribe who was born with a terrifying seduction divine power. Any male creature that saw her, even if they only saw her back, would be captured by her. Even the monarch of the Abyss Devil Tribe at that time became her subject. In the end, after the monarch of the Celestial Tribe saw her once, a war broke out between the two tribes for that woman. "

As the two chatted, the big guy slowly approached the Universe Fruit Tree …
