C98

There were too many people here, practically every corner had been searched, and even if he was unable to find any Vermillion Bird Fruit s, Di Chen would just walk towards places with fewer people. The places with fewer demonic beast s were easy to find, and along the way, Di Chen saw many martial kings fighting with the Demonic King, the fights were extremely intense and battles could be seen everywhere. This was simply too convenient for Di Chen, with these martial kings fighting with the Demonic King, he would be able to look for Vermillion Bird Fruit s in peace.

After half an hour, Di Chen arrived at the easternmost area. There were barely any people there anymore, but the demonic Qi around was extremely dense.

Seeing that there were no traces of a fight, he guessed that there were a lot of people here and the chances of finding one would be higher, but it was also very dangerous.

Di Chen carefully flipped through every vine. There were quite a number of vines belonging to Vermillion Bird Fruit s, but none of them had any growth of Vermillion Bird Fruit s. After searching for a circle, he continued to go deeper, and the deeper he went, the fewer people there were.

Roar!

Di Chen realized that he had already unknowingly entered the deepest part of the Thousand Monster Mountain. No matter how deep he went, he would still be able to see Level 7 and 8 Demonic King s.

"Another Vermillion Bird Fruit Vine?" This vine was very long, and would most likely have Vermillion Bird Fruit s growing on it. After walking for around ten minutes, he found a red fruit the size of a ping pong ball, and this was the Vermillion Bird Fruit s. Ordinary Vermillion Bird Fruit were only the size of a fingernail, but he never expected that there was actually such a large one here. Looking at its age, it must have been here for at least three or four years.

"Hmm?" Just as Di Chen was about to walk over, he saw the grass in front of him suddenly move, as if something was moving towards Di Chen's direction.

Di Chen did not know what it was, but his expression changed and he subconsciously retreated. The thing stopped and ran back, but it did not seem to have any intention of attacking.

Di Chen then heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately headed towards the direction of the Vermillion Bird Fruit, but after walking a few steps, the grass in that direction started to move, as though there was something close to Di Chen, so Di Chen could only retreat, and when he reached a certain distance, the thing over there stopped moving.

"Could it be that this demonic beast does not want me to get close to that Vermillion Bird Fruit?" Di Chen secretly complained. The demonic beast in this place were usually in the Demonic King, he did not have the strength to deal with them. What made Di Chen curious though was why the Demonic King did not attack him, but only scared him away.

Di Chen was a little hesitant, after thinking for a while, he wrote a "Broken" character, aimed at the grass, and exploded. The grass flew everywhere, revealing a palm-sized white furred squirrel.

"Is this the demonic beast?" Di Chen's brows darkened. This was clearly an ordinary demonic beast. How was this some Demonic King?

Di Chen became bolder and walked towards the Vermillion Bird Fruit. Then, the grass in the distance started to move again towards Di Chen's direction, but this time, Di Chen was not afraid.

Hiss!

Just then, a huge head suddenly scuttled out from the grass. It was actually a black ringed snake King.

The black ringed snake King flicked his tongue, opened his mouth and bit towards Di Chen.

"Not good," Di Chen's face changed, as he punched the black ringed snake's head. The black ringed snake's scales were very hard, so Di Chen's punch wasn't able to harm it at all.

Di Chen could not injure the black ringed snake King with the power of his fist so he did not dare to stay behind any longer. In a hurry, he got up and ran.

The black ringed snake chased after Di Chen, but it stopped after a while and swam back again. It seemed to be worried that the Vermillion Bird Fruit would be eaten by other demonic beast.

Di Chen had a face full of lingering fear. This black ringed snake King was a first level Demonic King, how could he be his match, but this Vermillion Bird Fruit was older than him, so Di Chen could only stay and watch.

"Di Chen, why are you here?" Just then, Cao Rouer and the rest walked over again.

Fang Xin shot a glance at Di Chen and said: "Earlier, we advised you to go down the mountain, but we didn't expect that not only did you not go down the mountain, you actually came to this place. You are truly reckless."

Di Chen could not be bothered to care about Fang Xin. He looked at Cao Rouer and asked: "I came here to try my luck, how did you find this place?"

Cao Rouer said: "No one has ever come to this area before, I think the chances of finding you here is greater, I never thought that if I met you, there would be a lot of Demonic King here, Di Chen, you should quickly leave."

Di Chen laughed, he did not intend to leave, but he was complaining in his heart, and prayed that these people would not see that Vermillion Bird Fruit.

"Look, there's a Vermillion Bird Fruit there," a man suddenly shouted.

Di Chen secretly cursed, he did not expect them to discover him, he was afraid that they would fight over it with him.

Everyone looked in the direction the man was pointing and saw a Vermillion Bird Fruit.

"So big?" Cao Rouer said in surprise: "Looking at how old this Vermillion Bird Fruit is, it should be several years old already. I never thought that we would have such good luck."

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go retrieve your quest. Don't let anyone else beat you to it."

A few people were talking about the Vermillion Bird Fruit, but even if they sold it, they would still be able to sell it for quite a sum of money.

"Wait," Just then, Jiang You suddenly stopped everyone. He looked at Di Chen curiously and asked: "You came here first, did you not notice?"

Everyone looked at Di Chen curiously, thinking that he definitely noticed it.

Di Chen said helplessly: "How could such a big Vermillion Bird Fruit not be discovered? But there's a first rank black ringed snake King there, I was almost eaten by it just now."

"black ringed snake King?" Upon hearing these words, everyone immediately retreated. All of them were at the ninth level of Life Seizing. Rushing over was simply courting death.

"Di Chen, why haven't I sensed any demonic aura from that place? You're not scaring us on purpose, are you?" A man looked at Di Chen with suspicion.

Di Chen explained, "The black ringed snake King can hide its presence, but you cannot sense it within ten meters. Furthermore, if it wasn't for the black ringed snake King, I would have collected it long ago.

That person disapproved: "Maybe you didn't even notice there was a Vermillion Bird Fruit, you intentionally said there was a black ringed snake there that wanted to scare us away, and took the opportunity to pick that Vermillion Bird Fruit?"

Di Chen looked at him speechlessly, but was too lazy to explain to him.

"You really are lying to us," the man said as if he saw through everything and immediately rushed towards the Vermillion Bird Fruit.

Jiang You's face changed. If they wanted to stop him, that person would immediately rush to the location of the Vermillion Bird Fruit. Everyone looked at him in shock, and no one dared to help him.

"I got it," The man grabbed at the Vermillion Bird Fruit excitedly, but right at that moment, a gigantic head came out from the grass, the black ringed snake King raised his head high, spitting out the tongue of the snake, the tongue of the snake was almost sticking onto the man's face, the man's face changed, he turned to run, but just as the black ringed snake King bit down on the man, it actually went back into his stomach, and then it dove back into the grass, its Qi disappearing once again.

"This, there really is a black ringed snake King …" The others all took in a breath of cold air. Previously, he was still fine, but was swallowed by the black ringed snake King in the blink of an eye?

"Di Chen," Fang Xin suddenly looked at Di Chen angrily and said: "Why didn't you stop Xiao Jiang just now?"

Di Chen was speechless: "I told him earlier that there was a black ringed snake King there, and it was him who did not believe it, who can you blame?"

Fang Xin said angrily: "Can't you convince him if he doesn't believe it? I think that you intentionally made Xiao Jiang think you are lying to him, which is why he impulsively went to pick that Vermillion Bird Fruit. You want to kill him."

Why did he try to convince him when he didn't believe me?

And why should I bother to make him misunderstand? I think it would be better to kill him without telling him.

Di Chen knew that Fang Xin was obviously trying to push the blame onto him, so he couldn't be bothered to deal with him.

Cao Rouer knew that Fang Xin was being impulsive, and was afraid that they would start a dispute. "Now is not the time to be held accountable, what should we do, should we continue to pick that Vermillion Bird Fruit?"

"Of course," Fang Xin still did not plan to give up, and said: "This Vermillion Bird Fruit has been here for a long time, and its medicinal properties are much stronger than ordinary Vermillion Bird Fruit. If we do not pluck it, we will definitely be swallowed by the black ringed snake King."

"But this black ringed snake King is not someone we can handle with just his Lifestealer Realm."

Furthermore, one of them was dead. Jiang You suddenly thought of Di Chen and said: "Di Chen, why don't you join us?"

"That's right," Cao Rouer didn't object this time and agreed, "Di Chen, your strength is stronger than Xiao Jiang, you should join us."

Fang Xin calmly looked at Di Chen. He did not object nor agree, but he looked like he agreed.

Di Chen thought to himself, since you know why I am stronger than the other person, why didn't you want me to join earlier, but instead wanted me to join you when I was in danger?

Di Chen laughed: "I'm sorry, I don't want to die yet, so I also advise you to give up that Vermillion Bird Fruit. It's not worth losing your life for just a bit of points."

"Di Chen..." Cao Rouer knew that Di Chen hated him enough to let her leave, so she regretted it a little. If she had known earlier, she would have invited Di Chen to join them.

Di Chen left without hesitation.

But at this time, Fang Xin stepped in front of Di Chen and said coldly: "You've killed Xiao Jiang, and you want to leave just like that?"

Did I kill Xiaojiang?

Di Chen's face sank: What exactly do you want?

Fang Xin said seriously: "If Little Jiang is not dead, then we definitely have a chance to obtain that Vermillion Bird Fruit. But since Little Jiang is dead because of you, and our strength is greatly weakened, it would be difficult to obtain another Vermillion Bird Fruit. Since that is your reason, then you naturally have to take responsibility for it.

If you force me to go pick Vermillion Bird Fruit, you will give me 10 points?
