299: Not to suffer any loss

A massive ancient tree appeared ahead, with two groups of people waiting on the bank.

The ancient tree was surrounded by wisps of immortal spirit qi, and the energy contained within was exceptionally rich, as if it were about to bear Fruit.

The two groups of people surrounding the area dared not act rashly because there was a pool of water around the ancient tree, inside of which lived a terrifying Yao Beast with the strength of the Golden Immortal Realm!

Su Yao arrived at this place and looked at the tree in the middle of the lake; her eyes lit up instantly.

The Fruit that the tree was about to bear—she did not know what kind of effect it would have on her, but just by taking a single breath, she could feel the sweet sensation coming from that tree.

The Fruit produced there must be sweet, delicious, and very tasty.

Su Yao excitedly licked her lips, decisively went down, and prepared to compete with the others.

"I have a plan, but it requires everyone to cooperate in order to repel the opponent. We can all share the rewards together when the time comes."

"If you are willing, then join me. If not, then I have no other choice. Even on my own, I should be able to barely Seal it for a period of time."

Wei Zhou looked at the Fruit tree ahead and explained to the people behind him.

His method was very simple: it required someone to lure away the monster in the pool. Once the items on the Fruit tree were obtained, that person could take thirty percent for themselves.

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads, their faces turning pale.

To ask them to lure away a Golden Immortal Realm Powerhouse—even if they could get more rewards, they wouldn't have the life to spend them.

Su Yao heard that there was an opportunity to obtain those Fruits just by running away, so she immediately decided to sign up.

Isn't it just dodging? With a full set of heaven-rank red magic artifacts, her defensive capabilities were extremely strong, and she could run extremely fast, so she didn't need to worry about that guy being able to catch up to her.

"I'll do it!"

Su Yao excitedly raised her hand and then decisively stepped forward to sign up. Seeing a fool stand out, everyone revealed greedy smiles. As long as this person could lure away the monster in the water, they could snatch all the Fruit in the fastest time possible and then flee rapidly.

There was no need to think to know what kind of power was contained within the Fruit, and the person responsible for luring away the water monster would surely die.

Su Yao's courage soon received Wei Zhou's approval.

"I didn't expect that among so many men, such a courageous young lady would stand out. I will now increase the reward to forty percent. As long as you can lure him away—the further, the better—once you shake off his pursuit and come back to ask us for it, we will give you the Fruit."

Wei Zhou patted her shoulder, his face full of appreciation and smiles.

Su Yao did not feel that anything was wrong. Although she sensed that this might be a trap, she did not believe the other party could welch on her debt.

Soon, with the last wisp of immortal spirit qi merging into the tree, Fruits instantly grew out. Starting from the massive Fruit at the very top, the Fruits below became smaller in sequence.

Everyone immediately began to stir restlessly. Su Yao volunteered to walk to the middle of the pool and struck the water below with a palm.

A massive black palm sank into the water's surface, and then a giant blue snake crawled out from the water, extending its snake tongue and continuously spitting venom.

Su Yao dodged with extreme speed and then smashed her fist hard onto the snake's eye.

She used her movement technique to quickly maneuver in the air, then landed directly on the ground and retreated.

The giant blue snake was indeed enraged by her. It left the water, roared, and then charged in the direction where she was. Seeing this, the others swarmed forward, rushing toward the Fruit tree.

Wei Zhou waved his hand, and everyone was intimidated by him, not daring to step forward again.

"I will take thirty percent of this Fruit tree. I promised that girl forty percent earlier, so you can only divide the remaining thirty percent."

"Does anyone object?"

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads, while simultaneously cursing in their hearts. This guy truly had no shame; the girl was clearly going to die, and by taking seventy percent of the Fruit for himself, he clearly intended to hog it all.

However, no one dared to curse him directly to his face; after all, his status was right there.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Wei Zhou nodded with satisfaction, then lunged forward and plucked seventy percent of the Fruit from the tree in one go.

He only left the trashiest Fruits, those with lackluster effects, for everyone to divide.

Afterward, he fled into the distance at extreme speed.

Seeing that the other party had plundered a large amount of Fruit and had absolutely no intention of waiting for her, Su Yao immediately sneered, then turned around and chased after him.

The giant blue snake following behind her was also incomparably furious, chasing madly and slithering continuously through the jungle.

Su Yao chased after him at extreme speed. Wei Zhou suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Looking back, he saw that Su Yao had already caught up to a position not far behind him.

"Senior Brother, I just saw you take my share of the Fruit. Where is the forty percent you promised?"

Su Yao followed by his side with a smile, her speed extremely fast.

Wei Zhou originally wanted to curse her, but upon seeing the giant snake behind her, his expression changed in shock. He hurriedly channeled all his power into his feet and ran forward frantically.

"Hmph, want to leave?"

Su Yao smiled slightly, then quickly increased her speed again, actually catching up to him by force and slapping him on the back of the head.

"Are you giving it to me or not?"

Wei Zhou's expression changed, and he immediately started cursing.

"You f*cking lunatic! You actually dare to ask me for things? Do you not know who I am? Did you just hit me? Let me tell you, once I get out, your Sect and you will all have to die!"

Wei Zhou cursed in a fit of rage.

Upon hearing this, Su Yao immediately sneered, then slapped Wei Zhou across the face several times.

Wei Zhou's expression changed in shock, and an angry expression appeared on his face.

He had to maintain the circulation of his spiritual power right now; he could not afford the slightest slack, otherwise, he would immediately be caught by that giant blue snake.

Seeing that the other party still ignored her, Su Yao started slapping him again, directly slapping Wei Zhou's face until it was swollen.

"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you! You lunatic!"

Wei Zhou threw out forty percent of the Fruit. Su Yao excitedly caught it, but she remained relentless.

"You clearly wanted to welch on the debt just now. Now you must give me some interest; take out the thirty percent of the Fruit you obtained earlier!"

Wei Zhou became even more enraged, pointing at Su Yao and starting to curse again.

Su Yao did not indulge him either, slapping him across the face frantically.

This guy was unrighteous first, so he shouldn't blame her, Su Yao, for being the mantis stalking the cicada.
