Chapter 558

Hull cautiously approached the Cosmic Fruit Tree. The Cosmic Fruit Tree did not respond even as he flew closer. He stretched out the ax in his hand and prodded the branches twice. When there was still no response, he dared to reach out and pick the fruit.

A Cosmic Fruit was quickly plucked. Not only could he not believe it, but the onlookers were also in disbelief. The group of people was suspicious for a long time, but the tree did not respond at all.

"Hehe, it looks like there's no danger." Hull waved at Denise after he picked the fruit.

When the others saw this, they immediately rushed out, wanting to snatch the remaining fruits.

When Hull saw everyone's reaction, he immediately put the first fruit he picked into his Inventory, then reached out to pick the second one.

Just as his hand touched the second Cosmic Fruit, the Cosmic Fruit Tree, which had been silent all this time, moved. Several branches shot out and pierced through Hull's body with the force of breaking through the air.

Hull did not have time to react. When he came back to his senses, he found that his God's body had begun to collapse.

The people who were rushing toward the giant tree quickly stopped moving forward when they saw this. They looked at the Cosmic Fruit Tree in horror and quickly retreated.

Hull's strength wasn't considered weak among lesser deities, and he also had the battle prowess of a pinnacle intermediate deity. However, he was instantly killed by a few branches of the giant tree. Those branches pierced through his chest and internal organs, and his life force quickly dissipated.

After Hull's death, the Cosmic Fruit Tree slowly quieted down and returned to its original state.

The group of people did not dare to move after they retreated. However, they were unwilling to leave just like that, so they could only watch from afar.

"How could this be? He was fine when he picked the first fruit, "Denise muttered in a low voice. Denise mumbled in a low voice. She did not feel sad about Coel's death at all. The kiss earlier was just an act.

Gu Ding frowned slightly. He also remembered what the keeper had told him when he first entered the Outland Battlefield, "Don't get tricked by others." He finally understood what it meant.

Just as the group of people were stuck in a dilemma, more people arrived nearby, and it was not just a small team.

Two teams from the Two-headed Demon Tribe had arrived. Their numbers had increased from seven to twenty-three.

On the Human Camp's side, a small team had arrived. This small team was relatively large, consisting of eighteen people. The young man leading them was quite powerful, and even Gu Ding's eyes lit up when he saw him.

"That weird-haired guy seems to be quite powerful." Gu Ding could tell from his aura, "He's almost a One-star Half-Step True God combat effectiveness."

"He's called Kapunsis, and he's ranked 58th on the Black Iron Monster Ranking. His hair is red and white because he's an ice and fire dual ability user, and he uses dual blades. "Neptune recognized the man's identity at a glance. He was indeed a powerhouse. "However, even with his strength, he will still be at a disadvantage when fighting against the Universe Fruit Tree. The possibility of him losing is very high."

Kabunsis had his hands in his pockets and a cold expression on his face as he said to Denise, "Woman, why are you all so far away from that tree? Did something special happen? "

"Mr. Kapunsis." Denise obviously knew who he was. She told him about what happened to Hull earlier. Of course, she left out the part where she egged Hull on.

"You're saying that this tree can attack people?" Kapunsis was a little surprised after hearing that, but at the same time, he looked at the Universe Fruit Tree with great interest.

Denise was very observant. She could tell that Kapunsis was eager to try, so she immediately egged him on. "Mr. Kapunsis, this giant tree doesn't look easy to deal with. It killed a powerhouse with a Medium Deity combat effectiveness in one hit. Why don't we join forces and kill this tree? "

"Join forces?" Kapunsis glanced at Denise with some disdain. "I alone am enough. You guys will only hold me back."

A smug look flashed in Denise's eyes. This was what she wanted to hear. She had purposely said that they should join forces to provoke Kapunsis into attacking. When she saw how badly Hull died, she was unwilling to go near that strange tree no matter what. Her own combat effectiveness was not as good as Hull's. If she was attacked, she would be killed in an instant. She valued her own life more than anything else.

The group of people following Kapunsis had average strength. As they watched Kapunsis rush toward the Universe Fruit Tree, none of them followed him to help. They only watched from afar.

Gu Ding could tell that the seventeen people following Kapunsis were actually a group of people who wanted to use Kapunsis as a bodyguard. They were not his teammates at all.

Although Kapunsis was strong, he did not seem to have much experience in the world. He was enjoying being led by the nose by a group of people who were not as strong as him.

He removed the two swords from his back and slashed at the giant tree. He had no intention of taking the fruit at all. Gu Ding was speechless when he saw this.

Kapunsis slashed with both swords and a whirlwind of flames swept out toward the giant tree.

Right at this moment, the giant tree seemed to feel the threat of death. Its branches surged violently once again like countless White Jade Giant Pythons baring their fangs and biting toward the whirlwind of flames.

In an instant, the giant pythons and the whirlwind collided. The whirlwind of flames quickly dissipated, but the giant pythons did not slow down and continued on their way toward Kapunsis.

Kapunsis's expression turned serious. He did not expect the tree to be so strong. In a hurry, he slashed with both swords again. An icy chill spread out and turned into a huge Frost Python that collided with the White Jade Giant Pythons. However, the Frost Python was quickly defeated.

The White Jade Giant Tree's attack only slowed down slightly. However, it was this slight reduction that allowed Kapunsis to form a strange seal with his hands. Although the seal was extremely complicated, it only took an instant for him to complete it.

The moment the seal was completed, a red and white flower quickly formed in front of Kapunsis. At first, it was just a small flower bud. However, the flower bud expanded with the wind and bloomed in the blink of an eye. Just as everyone was attracted by the beauty of the flower, two completely different energies seeped out from the flower. Half of it was ice and the other half was fire. When the two collided, there was a loud explosion. Fire and ice danced in the void and spread out in all directions, completely disintegrating the attack of the tree branches.

Kapunsis, who had finally gained the upper hand, smiled proudly. "You dare to fight with me?"
