107: Chapter 107 Strange Creatures

"Here, Jiu Yue, the starfire flower you wanted!"

Chen Yi handed all the starfire flowers to Yan Jiuyue, "Are you satisfied now?"

The moment she saw the starfire flowers, Yan Jiuyue's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she beamed, "Thank you, Little Brother Chen Yi! Mwah~~~"

"By the way, Brother Chen Yi."

Lin Mengxue stared at the tree not far away and asked with a puzzled expression, "Those fruits people are fighting over look quite tempting. Why don't we want them?"

Chen Yi didn't answer immediately.

He just silently shifted his gaze toward the competing Beast Tamers, a trace of all-knowing indifference flashing in his eyes.

He turned to Luo Shiyin and said, "Shiyin, explain to everyone what a wind scorching fruit is."

"wind scorching fruit?"

Hearing this, Luo Shiyin's delicate body trembled violently, her pupils shrinking. "Chen Yi, are you saying those fruits are wind scorching fruits?"

"Yes."

Chen Yi nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the Beast Tamers whose eyes were glued to the fruit tree. "Their appearance has simply been distorted by the unique environment of the heart of the secret realm, disguising them as the wind soul fruits that everyone desires!"

Luo Shiyin gasped, a chill rushing from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

She instantly understood why Chen Yi had remained indifferent before.

She quickly turned around and explained in a low voice, "Sisters, you all know about wind poison, right? Its core ingredient is this wind scorching fruit!"

"*Hiss—*"

Hearing this, The girls collectively gasped.

The name of wind poison is practically an urban legend in the Beast Tamer world, well-known to all!

Even an eighth-rank spirit beast would die instantly after accidentally consuming wind poison.

For people like them who hadn't even reached the fourth rank, just touching it might cause immediate death.

It could be said to be toxic to the extreme!

Who would have thought that the terrifying core of such a lethal poison was actually this fruit that looked like a dragon fruit?

Fortunately, Chen Yi had a discerning eye and recognized the thing.

Otherwise, the consequences would have been truly unimaginable.

---

The brief rest did not quell the greed in people's hearts.

After mutual wariness and brief negotiations, several Beast Tamer teams ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of what might be wind soul fruits and impatiently began to divide them up.

Following the old rules, each team sent one person forward to pick them while members of other teams supervised each other to prevent anyone from taking more than their share.

A tall, dark-skinned Indian Beast Tamer named Morad was chosen by his companions.

He licked his dry lips, took a deep breath, and without any defense, stepped forward to pick what looked like the largest fruit.

But the moment his fingertips touched the smooth skin of the fruit, a sudden change occurred!

"Aaaaargh—"

A heart-wrenching scream swept through the area.

He jerked his hand back as if struck by lightning, but it was already too late!

An extremely eerie, viscous dark green substance, like a living thing, spread frantically from the fingertip that touched the fruit at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Wherever the dark green passed, the skin instantly lost its luster, becoming like rotten leather!

In just a second, the dark green swallowed his entire arm and spread at a terrifying speed toward his shoulder, chest, and even his whole body!

"Morad! What's wrong?!"

His companions were terrified and instinctively wanted to step forward, but were pushed back by the intense, ominous aura.

"Not good! Look at his skin, it's all—all turned green! This fruit is poisonous!"

"The green—it's spreading so fast—it's wind poison! That thing is a wind scorching fruit! Get away from him! Get away from that tree!"

A knowledgeable Dragon Country Beast Tamer's face changed drastically as he shouted hoarsely, scrambling backward in a panic.

The crowd erupted like a boiling pot, fearfully backing away to create a large empty space.

Even Morad's own Contracted Spirit Beast retreated over a hundred meters away in an instant.

Only a few seconds!

Morad's entire skin had become like a corpse soaked in venom, showing a viscous dark green color.

He collapsed to the ground, his body rolling and twitching uncontrollably, his wails echoing through the sky.

Each twitch was accompanied by dark green slime seeping from beneath his skin.

Finally, after a few more seconds, the wailing stopped completely.

Dead!

A fourth-rank, fifth-stage Indian Beast Tamer known for his poison resistance had died just like that after touching a wind scorching fruit?

The misery of his death made the scalps of all witnesses tingle and their backs turn cold, a chill rushing from their soles straight to their skulls.

"This—how is this possible?"

"wind poison—is it really this terrifying?"

"Just one touch and—and he's gone?"

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

The air was thick with intense fear and the relief of having survived a disaster.

The greed in everyone's hearts was completely extinguished by this bucket of ice water, leaving only cold lingering fear.

However, it wasn't over yet!

Just a few breaths after Morad breathed his last, the corpse, still in a painful curled position, suddenly trembled violently!

Under everyone's horrified gaze, the corpse slowly crawled up from the ground in an eerie posture that completely defied physiological structure.

A large area around it was covered in green shadows.

Wherever the shadows passed, everything was like a place soaked in sulfuric acid, making "sizzling" corrosive sounds.

The thing stood in the shadows, its entire body emitting a ghastly green light like rotting moss, with pus constantly seeping from its skin.

Its figure was twisted and hunched, its limbs as thin as withered branches, yet it carried an inhuman sense of eeriness.

It slowly raised its head, revealing a pair of completely cloudy, ghastly white eyeballs!

No pupils, no focus, only a white film like a thick layer of corpse wax, staring fixedly at every living creature present!

Looking at it made everyone present feel a chill!

"W-what is this thing?"

"Morad, what's wrong with you? Hey, can you hear me?"

"Stop calling him! This thing seems to have been eroded by something!"

"Stay away! Everyone, get away from that thing immediately!!"

An unprecedented sense of panic instantly spread through everyone's hearts!

The zombie monster's eyeballs turned emotionlessly, instantly locking onto the Indian Beast Tamer closest to it.

The next second, it moved!

With a foul-smelling, sinister wind, it lunged forward at an almost unimaginable speed, aiming directly for the Beast Tamer's throat!

"*Clang—*"

A crisp sound rang out.

At the critical moment, the Beast Tamer's Contracted Spirit Beast, the Sharp-Toothed Saber-Toothed Tiger, charged from the side, its metal blade claws directly blocking the zombie's withered claws!

The immense force made her figure sway, but she still managed to block the fatal blow and, using the recoil, wrapped her tail around her Beast Tamer and leaped back several meters.

However, when the spirit beast girl looked down at her blade claws that had come into contact with the zombie monster, she was completely stunned!

They were actually turning gray at a speed visible to the naked eye, then began to peel and wither as if eroded by accelerated time!

Just one contact caused such a terrible backlash?

What on earth is this thing?
