105: Chapter 105 Watching the Show

"Little Brother Chen Yi, what's wrong? Why such a serious expression?"

Luo Shiyin noticed the change in Chen Yi's expression and asked with concern.

"Those starfire flowers—aren't we going to take them?"

Yan Jiuyue couldn't help but tug at Chen Yi's sleeve again. "If we don't go now, they're really going to finish dividing them all up!"

Chen Yi snapped out of his thoughts and said indifferently, "I'm fine. Let's just let them have those things for now."

"Eh? Let them have them? But I really want—"

"It's fine. If I've guessed correctly, these treasures will be ours sooner or later! Let them look after them for a while."

"Is that so?"

Although Yan Jiuyue was itching with anticipation,

since Chen Yi said so, it meant he was definitely confident.

Believing in him was definitely the right choice!

On the other side, after some arguing and compromise, the remaining five teams finally reached a distribution agreement.

There were seven starfire flowers in total.

The two squads that had lost Beast Tamers, as the discoverers and the ones who suffered losses, each received two starfire flowers as compensation and pension, while the other three squads took one each.

The magic beast crystal cores were distributed evenly based on the number of people in each team.

As for Chen Yi's group, who had stood by and watched the whole time—they were naturally ignored by everyone in a silent agreement.

You didn't contribute at all to the battle just now, and you're just a single Beast Tamer. What right do you have to share the spoils?

By virtue of having more beautiful women with you?

Chen Yi didn't care at all; instead, a faint, amused smile played on his lips as if he were watching a show.

"It's still unknown just how long you'll be able to keep these treasures warm!"

---

The various spoils were soon distributed.

Everyone composed themselves and continued down the circular mountain path, heading toward the next level—a cyan platform emitting dense wind-attribute energy.

The illusions of fire were gradually replaced by a flowing cyan halo, and the air was filled with a gentle aura of wind.

Before long, the Beast Tamer scouting ahead cried out in surprise again!

"Everyone, look! What kind of tree is that?"

At the edge of the cyan platform, near the steep cliff wall, grew an ancient tree with a peculiar shape.

Its trunk was vigorous and gnarled, showing a color like cyan jade.

And on the branches hung strange fruits, each the size of a fist, shaped like starfruit, and shimmering with a cyan and yellow halo!

Dense wind-type spiritual power radiated from the fruits like a physical substance, forming tiny cyclones visible to the naked eye.

They certainly didn't look like ordinary items!

"Does anyone know what those fruits are?"

"I've never seen them, but this spiritual power fluctuation—it's definitely a top-tier heaven and earth spiritual treasure!"

"Wait! Why do I feel like those things are wind soul fruits? I remember wind soul fruit slices are also star-shaped!"

"wind soul fruit? Impossible, absolutely impossible! A wind soul fruit tree only bears one fruit, but there are at least forty or fifty fruits hanging here. How could they be wind soul fruits?"

"Don't forget, the previous starfire flowers were growing in the soil! In the heart of the secret realm, anything is possible!"

"Regardless of whether they're wind soul fruits or not, since they're heaven and earth spiritual treasures, there's no harm in collecting them! According to the rules, each team will send one person to form an exploration squad. Approach carefully!"

Soon, five selected Beast Tamers formed a temporary squad.

Looking nervous, they moved cautiously, step by step, toward the strange wind soul fruit tree.

Fifty meters, twenty meters, ten meters, five meters—the moment they stepped into a certain area!

"Skreeee—"

The cry of an eagle suddenly rang out from high above, tearing through the sky!

Along with a violent airflow, dozens of giant vultures with wingspans exceeding five meters, their bodies covered in cyan-black feathers, suddenly appeared in the sky and dived down toward everyone!

The number was exactly the same as the total number of people on the platform at that moment!

[Magic Beast: Burst Wind Vulture]

[Difficulty: Four Stars]

[Level: Fourth Rank, Fifth Stage]

[Attribute: Wind]

[Skills: Burst Dive, Wind Blade]

[Introduction: An aerial hunter that controls the power of storms, possessing extreme speed and aerial dominance. The threat multiplies when they move in clusters!]

"As expected, there are guardian magic beasts here too. Watch the sky!"

"Look, their number is indeed the same as our headcount!"

"It seems these are the same as treasure guardians! Everyone, prepare for battle!"

"Stop talking! Maintain formation. They're Flying-type magic beasts, watch out for their long-range attacks!"

The battle broke out instantly!

The Burst Wind Vultures held absolute air superiority, weaving through the sky at high speeds, with every dive bringing a powerful storm of Wind Blades.

"Watch your left!"

"Hold your ground!"

"So troublesome!"

Before long, the Beast Tamers and spirit beasts on the ground were locked in a bitter struggle.

Their inability to fly made them sitting ducks; they could only defend passively and counterattack with long-range skills, which was extremely inefficient.

Although no new deaths had occurred yet, people were constantly being cut by Wind Blades or injured by the shockwaves of explosions, and their combat effectiveness continued to decline.

If they continued fighting like this, defeat would likely be only a matter of time.

However, unexpectedly...

This time, the situation was exactly the same as when the Crimson Flame Demon Tree attacked.

These magic beasts had no intention of attacking Chen Yi's group at all; their targets seemed specifically locked onto the Beast Tamer groups.

Or more accurately, two of the Spirit Beast Girls also weren't attacked.

Witnessing this, Chen Yi was finally certain that this was a trial specifically set up by the heart of the secret realm!

Only those who successfully passed the trial were qualified to obtain the heaven and earth spiritual treasures guarded by the magic beasts!

Not only that, but this trial also seemed to have a level restriction.

The Beast Tamers who came here to explore were all experts of the fourth rank or higher.

Those two Spirit Beast Girls were only at the Third Rank, Tenth Stage and hadn't yet broken through the fourth-rank bottleneck, which was likely why they were spared.

Furthermore, there was another noteworthy detail: once these Burst Wind Vultures locked onto a target, they would never switch to another.

Even if a spirit beast had its back to them and was completely defenseless, they showed no sign of launching a sneak attack.

They really do take care of low-level players!

What made those struggling Beast Tamers feel even more aggrieved was...

Chen Yi's group was still standing at the edge of the battlefield, completely at ease!

Dammit, they were all fighting a hard battle, while Chen Yi was over there watching the show.

Is this a joke?

"Damn! Is this thing really this troublesome?"

"If I could fly, I definitely wouldn't be fighting so exhaustedly!"

"What's the point of saying that now? Stop your fucking whining!"

"Shit! You guys watching the show over there! Are you fucking dead or something? Get over here and help!"

In the Dragon Country squad that had previously lost its leader, a Fourth Rank, Sixth Stage Beast Tamer cursed furiously, "Seven of these are your share! If it weren't for you, would I be struggling this much? Get over here and help already!"

He's truly a fucking moronic rich kid.

In this situation, if they lose, you people will die here too!

Don't you even understand this bit of common sense?
