C48 Searching for Something
Everyone was unable to come back to their senses for a moment from the change in Thunder Leopard's attitude.
Just now, his attitude was unyielding and he had completely displayed the greatest of his abilities. Now that he had suddenly become so humble, everyone was somewhat unable to adapt to it.
"Everyone, I'm very sorry! I represent the Lei family to pay my respects!" The Thunder Leopard came forward and cupped his fists at everyone. Then, he waved his hand. "Let's go!"
After saying that, Lei Hu brought the people of the Lei family and left.
Without any pause or hesitation, it could be said that they had come and left in a hurry. They did not want to bring a cloud with them.
"What is the Lei family trying to do?"
"Perhaps they have realized the gap between them and have given up!"
"That shouldn't be the case. When the Lei family came, they were full of confidence. It's not right for them to leave with their tails between their legs!"
Some people believed it, but they still believed it. Some people didn't believe that the Lei family would give up just like that. There were even some who only returned after following them for a few miles.
"Everyone, the Lei family really left this time. I saw them leave the Heavenly Thunder Forest!" One of them said with a smile on his face.
As soon as he said that, Only after hearing these words did everyone believe that the Lei family had really left.
"Big brother, are we really going to give up?" Lei Hu couldn't understand why the Thunder Leopard had suddenly changed its mind. Even if they couldn't get it, they had to stay there and not let anyone else get it.
However, the Thunder Leopard revealed a cunning smile. "Second Brother, do you know that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole behind!"
"What do you mean?" Lei Hu suddenly understood something. He also revealed a smile and nodded. He turned around. "All of you disguise yourselves and go in. As long as someone obtains the Nine Lightning Striped Thunderbolt Fruits, send me a message. We will wait here!"
Lei Hu ordered everyone. This move was called waiting for a rabbit.
When the people from the Lei family left, they started climbing the top of the tree again. However, the result was the same. They were hit by the branches and struck by the lightning. All of them were in a sorry state.
"Young master, has the Lei family really left?" Liang Yiyi looked at Xiao Chen and asked, "Has young master Lei family really left?
"Would you expect a wolf to be a vegetarian?" Xiao Chen turned to look at Liang Yiyi. Liang Yiyi immediately understood the meaning of Xiao Chen's words. The Lei family was too despicable. They were playing with their guns.
"If the Lei family wants to reap the benefits, they won't even consider themselves!"
Liang Yiyi said, unconvinced.
"In this world, the strong are respected. In Thunder City, the Lei family is the Earth Emperor!" Yin Chengyun said slowly. When the Lei family left, he already knew what the Lei family was plotting.
Unfortunately, he couldn't stop it.
He didn't want to have a bad relationship with the Lei family yet.
Everyone had failed one after another, and they no longer had the hot-bloodedness they had at the beginning.
All of them stood under the tree with their heads hanging low, looking at the sky and sighing.
"Didn't you just say that this medicinal Fellow Daoist was like a bag of things!? Could you open your eyes for us!" While everyone was feeling depressed, someone suddenly thought of Xiao Chen's words.
Xiao Chen had said that taking these nine Thunder Striped Thunder Fruits was like taking something out of a bag. This meant that Xiao Chen could take these fruits very easily.
Xiao Chen smiled. "What's so difficult about that?"
"Isn't this the Fellow Daoist that just made a joke? Could it be that he really has a way?"
"What the hell? It looks like his cultivation base is only at the Dao Origin Stage. With such a cultivation base, it would be hard for him to even reach the top, let alone reach the top!"
Someone said disapprovingly. The Thunderclap Tree was really strange. Thunder was flashing on its surface and branches were swaying. Those who didn't have any cultivation or ability wouldn't even need to think about it. They could go home and carry their children.
"Could it be that he is here to make a joke?"
"That's right."
Everyone looked at Xiao Chen with smiles on their faces. They had made a fool of themselves. It was comforting to see others make a fool of themselves. At least they could find a sense of balance.
Xiao Chen stopped in his tracks. "What will you do if I pick them?" Xiao Chen asked the person next to him who had mocked him at the beginning.
"Me?" The man pointed at himself. "If you can pick it, I will bark like a dog."
"Very good! I hope you don't forget your words!"
"Wait, what if you can't pluck it?" The man interrupted Xiao Chen and asked.
"I won't lose!" After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he stood under the Thunderclap Tree and looked up. Sure enough, he was tall and mighty, towering into the clouds. The leaves were lush and dense, blocking out the sun. Standing under the shade of the tree gave him a cool feeling.
"Then you can start climbing! I want to see how high you can climb!" The man stood behind Xiao Chen, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and said with disdain.
Xiao Chen waved his hand. "Who said I wanted to climb a tree? It's barbarian practice to climb a tree."
"You?"
Holy shit, this is a group joke!" When the surrounding people heard Xiao Chen's words, they all started to look down on him. Xiao Chen had already shocked everyone without making a sound. A word offended everyone.
Liang Yiyi also helplessly held her forehead and gently sighed. Xiao Chen's arrogant character was really asking for a beating.
"Then how are you going to get up?"
"Go up?" Xiao Chen looked at the people behind him suspiciously. "Did I say I was going up? I want it to give me the Thunder Fruit."
Xiao Chen said calmly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent. Even Yin Chengyun felt that Xiao Chen's joke was a little too much. He had never heard of such a thing before.
After a moment, everyone laughed out loud.
"Brother, your funny talent is really unparalleled!" Someone raised his thumb and said.
Xiao Chen was obviously a clown in the eyes of the crowd, a funny clown.
"You want to discuss with a tree? This is the biggest joke in the world." Everyone stared at Xiao Chen, eager to know what kind of funny action Xiao Chen would make next.
Xiao Chen ignored everyone and stood under the tree. He raised his hand and gently patted the tree trunk a few times. "Give me the fruit! "Otherwise, I will set fire to it!"
Everyone pricked up their ears and listened to Xiao Chen's words. Each and every one of them held back their laughter. What was this? Was this a negotiation or a threat? Please. Bro, this is a tree, okay?
Seeing that Xiao Chen had something to do and was seriously discussing it, everyone was very sure that Xiao Chen was an idiot.
But after Xiao Chen finished speaking, not long after, the Thunderclap Tree in front of him began to shake. The leaves rustled, as if it was responding to Xiao Chen's words.
Bolts of lightning flashed from the tree trunk like poisonous snakes.
"There's movement!"
Suddenly, a person pointed at the sky. Everyone looked up. Sure enough, the dense leaves began to split apart. The branches split apart from the sky to the ground, forming a space.
Then, a bolt of lightning descended. It was so fast that everyone didn't even have the time to blink.
Everyone lowered their heads and saw Xiao Chen holding a Thunder Fruit in his hand. Nine lightning patterns. That's right, it was nine lightning patterns.
Seeing the scene before them, everyone was instantly dumbfounded. Their mouths were wide open, and they could stuff an egg into it. Their faces were filled with terror, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.
This was the most terrifying thing that they had ever seen in their lives.
Some people even slapped their faces and thought that they were dreaming. How could they pluck the Thunderclap Fruit like this? How was this possible? Everyone was completely unable to laugh. Each and every one of them had awkward expressions.
So they were the clowns. They were the most ignorant ones.
Xiao Chen took the fruit and turned around to look at the person in front of him. "Call out!"
"Scream! What are you shouting for?" The man thought that Xiao Chen would succeed, and his face became angry.
"You want to break your promise?" The corner of Xiao Chen's mouth curled up. He stared at the man in front of him. Being stared at by Xiao Chen made this man feel like he was being stared at by the god of death. He felt like his soul was falling into an abyss.
"Fellow Daoist, why are you being so serious? We are just joking. There is no need to take it seriously. There is no need to take it seriously." The man waved his hand and said with a smile. His tone was kind, as if he was a kind person. He had been friends with Xiao Chen for many years. It was like a joke between friends.
Xiao Chen shook his head gently. "I'm sorry. I don't know you. Besides, I never joke around."
Hearing Xiao Chen's tough attitude, it was obvious that he didn't want to let him go. The man frowned and his eyes were filled with killing intent. He was a cultivator of the Dao Profound Realm. Could it be that he was afraid of Xiao Chen, a cultivator of the Dao Origin Stage?
"If that's the case with the Fellow Daoist, don't blame me!"
Before the man could finish speaking, he slapped him in the air. The slap was very loud and clear. The man was sent flying a hundred meters away. His face was swollen and swollen. His face was swollen like a pig's head.
"If you can't afford to play, then don't play!" Xiao Chen said coldly. He looked at everyone present. "Who else is laughing at me?"
The crowd dispersed in an instant. Even the rabbit was their grandson.
Only Yin Chengyun didn't leave. He walked up to Xiao Chen and bowed again. "I wonder if young master can buy this fruit with me." Yin Chengyun said sincerely.
"This is a natural treasure!" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Yin Chengyun nodded. He knew what Xiao Chen meant. Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could only be found by chance. Naturally, they were valuable.
"I only have 50,000 gold taels on me now, 100,000 Spirit Stones, and a 10% discount token from Treasure Tower!" Yin Chengyun took out all his savings and even borrowed the savings of his followers. "I know this is far from enough. I can write you an IOU. I will definitely repay it in the future."
"It seems that this Thunder Fruit is very important to you." Xiao Chen looked at the treasure Yin Chengyun took out and said.
"My mother wanted to give a birthday present at the birthday banquet. I wanted to use the Five Thunder Striped Thunder Fruit, but now Young Master has nine Thunder Striped Thunder Fruit. I want to use the Nine Thunder Striped Thunder Fruit as a birthday present. First, Mother needs it, and second, I want to satisfy my vanity."
Yin Chengyun told her everything without hiding anything.
"You are honest!" Xiao Chen looked at Yin Chengyun and nodded with a smile. "Your crown prince is much worse than your third brother. Your third brother paid a million taels of gold. Five million medicinal Spirit Stones, three cities."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yin Chengyun was dumbfounded. This was indeed a huge amount of money. It could be said that even a Crown Prince like him wouldn't dare to imagine such a huge amount of money. Also, he didn't expect Xiao Chen to recognize him.
"Third brother is smart enough to be appreciated by Royal Father. Naturally, he is rich as well! In this way, young master will support my third brother?"
"I don't care about the matters of the Nine Feet Dynasty!" Xiao Chen said lazily.
Yin Chengyun heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. This was the answer he was very satisfied with.
"Take it!" Xiao Chen handed the Thunderclap Fruit to Yin Chengyun. "I will give it to you for your filial piety!"
"Yin Chengyun will never forget your kindness, young master." Yin Chengyun did not expect that he would get the Thunder Fruit so easily. He was really overjoyed.
Xiao Chen did not want to stay for long. When he arrived at the edge of the forest, he saw bows and arrows on the city wall. Those thick and strong arrows were aimed at him.
The Thunder Leopard brothers and Lei Hu brothers sat in the pavilion under the city wall. They drank and chatted happily. Only when they saw Xiao Chen and Lei Hu brothers did they slowly put down their wine cups.2
"Xiao Chen?" The Thunder Leopard stood up. "Hand over the Thunder Fruit and we can spare you!"
