C1964 Greedy Heart
Everyone discovered that the corpses of the people who had been frozen to the ground had quickly turned to dust, just like the ones from before.
As for the gold coins, Storage Ring and other items that those people were carrying, they were scattered all over the ground.
Only now did everyone realize where the treasure beneath the towering tree had come from.
So it turned out that the treasures accumulated under the towering tree were all relics left behind by the other treasure hunters.
With the accumulation of time, it finally became this shocking scale.
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on everyone's foreheads as they were filled with fear.
How many people had died here?
Everyone began to question what exactly the so-called treasure of the Black Fiend Basin was.
For hundreds of years, people had been desperate, and many people had died because of greed.
Everyone realized that the enormous creature standing next to the towering tree had not caught up to them and attacked them.
The giant creature seemed to be guarding something, but it also seemed to be waiting for something.
Just as everyone was puzzled, the top of the towering tree suddenly began to emit a dazzling light.
At the top of the towering tree, a fist-sized green fruit was emitting an energy aura.
Sensing the fluctuation of energy aura, some of the people present gradually could not hold it in and shouted out in anger.
"It's a treasure!" The fruit on the tree is the real treasure! "
"Kill this creature, the treasure is ours!"
Immediately, many people could no longer hold back. With weapons in their hands, Magic Wand s began to attack the giant creatures one after another.
A shocking explosion rang out as the ground trembled. Everyone held their breaths as their gazes were locked onto the area in front of them.
Thinking that the gigantic beast had been killed, hundreds of people rushed forward, while the 2,000 plus people behind them prepared to charge up as well.
As soon as the few hundred people approached the towering tree, rumbling sounds could be heard.
Ice spikes instantly formed on the ground, piercing through the bodies of hundreds of people before they could even react.
The two thousand plus people standing not too far away from him were so frightened that they hastily retreated in fear.
Only then did everyone notice that the gigantic creature not far away was still standing there, unharmed.
At this moment, Lee Jun was high up in the sky of the basin. He was filled with emotion as he watched what happened on the ground.
The Magical Beast set up a trap that attracted countless treasure hunters, all for the sake of nourishing the Dusk Tree.
In the end, humans had to pay the price of their lives for their greed. This Magical Beast could easily kill more than 2000 people in front of it.
However, it did not do so. It treated these people as nutrients, allowing one of them to taste the sweetness and continue to attract more treasure hunters.
Looking at what was happening on the ground, Lee Jun didn't have a shred of pity in his eyes as he quietly waited.
"Lee Jun, are you sad?"
"Whether humans or beasts, as long as they are weak, they will be killed and even used as nutrients."
Lee Jun did not pay attention to Silver Dragon's words. He just waited quietly for the Dusk Fruit to ripen.1
The Magical Beast s on the ground killed hundreds of humans in an instant, and their corpses were devoured by the Dusk Tree.
The Dusk Tree continued to channel its energy into the Golden Fruit on the top of the tree. At this moment, the Green Fruit Tree emitted a soft golden light.
Subsequently, the green fruit gradually transformed into a golden fruit.
Feeling the energy being released from the fruit at the top of the towering tree, the two thousand plus humans in the distance became increasingly anxious.
However, no matter how anxious the two thousand over people were, they did not dare to continue charging forward.
After all, the Magical Beast guarding the towering tree was simply too powerful. Everyone's magical attacks could not cause any damage to it.
When the gigantic Magical Beast saw that the Dusk Fruit at the top of the tree had matured, it let out an excited howl and climbed towards the towering tree.
Just as the Dusk Fruit was about to ripen, a world-shaking sound rang out.
Instantly, the earth shook and an enormous amount of energy swept out in all directions.
Before they could understand what was going on, they were blown a hundred meters away by the immense energy.
By the time everyone had gotten up from the ground and seen what was happening, they were completely stupefied.
The towering tree and the enormous creature from before had already disappeared.
In the place where the towering tree had been, there was only a huge hole.
As they recovered their wits, they saw the gold coins and treasures on the ground in front of them.
After the giant creatures had disappeared, everyone began to fight over the rare treasures one after another.
While everyone was fighting over the so-called treasure, Lee Jun had already flown away.
In the air, Lee Jun held a golden fruit in his hand. It was the ripe Dusk Fruit.
Just now, when the Dusk Fruit was about to ripen, Lee Jun rushed down to pick the fruit.
He then conveniently destroyed the Magical Beast and even the Dusk Tree, turning them into ashes.
Seeing Lee Jun holding the Dusk Fruit in silence, Silver Dragon's voice sounded in his mind.
"Lee Jun, you don't have to be angry because of this. Humanity's greed is the bottomless pit …"
Without waiting for Silver Dragon to finish speaking, Lee Jun put the Dusk Fruit into the Storage Ring and said indifferently.
"I know."
"Since you know about it, why are you angry?"
"I am not angry. Rather, I loathe myself. In the past, I was also this greedy. For the sake of strength, I ignored the people around me."
Seeing Lee Jun say this, Silver Dragon felt a little awkward and said nothing for a while.
"Humans are greedy creatures, they will never change."
After hearing Silver Dragon's words, a trace of coldness flashed across Lee Jun's eyes as he said lightly.
"I don't know if other people will change, but I want to."
