The moment they saw the Vermilion Fruits, Wen Zhan and the others were overjoyed. Moreover, there were seven Vermilion Fruits, which was enough for them to share.
"Great, it's the Vermilion Fruits. We can complete the mission!"
Lang Chengwu couldn't help exclaiming and was about to run over to pick the Vermilion Fruits.
"Don't move, all of you stop!"
Ou Shaotian hurriedly said. Everyone couldn't help but stop in their tracks and turn around to look at him in confusion.
"Is it dangerous?"
Yun Duo 'er asked from the side.
"There are powerful creatures in the magma. If you rush in carelessly, you might be wiped out."
Ou Shaotian said angrily.
They were not afraid of water, but it didn't mean that they were not afraid of fire.
If the creatures in the magma could breathe fire or something, they would be doomed if they approached them so foolishly.
"Then what should we do?"
The others couldn't help but ask.
"We forgot our old profession, fishing rods!"
Ou Shaotian said angrily.
"Aha, I'm sorry, I really forgot!"
Wen Zhan and the others were embarrassed.
When they were in the water, they thought of fishing, but when they were on the ground, they just wanted to go up and pick the fruits.
After Ou Shaotian's reminder, they took out their fishing rods one after another. Their fishing hooks flew out and soon wrapped around the Vermilion Fruits.
They acted almost at the same time and the seven Vermilion Fruits were also pulled back at the same time.
Boom!
The magma surged and suddenly exploded.
Accompanied by the splashing of magma, a ferocious-looking huge monster full of lumps stood up from the magma.
"Roar!"
Looking at Ou Shaotian and the others, the monster opened its mouth and spat out a huge pillar of fire that burned towards them dozens of meters away.
Splash!
There were a few splashes of water.
Ou Shaotian led the others and jumped directly into the pool behind them. "Run!"
Without hesitation, everyone fled with all their might. The aura of the monster just now was at least level-four, which was equivalent to a fishing venerable.
Such an existence was not something they could provoke at all.
Boom!
Ou Shaotian and the rest had just jumped into the water when the fire pillar bombarded the surface of the water. The surface of the water exploded with a loud bang.
The monster chased them to the edge of the water. Looking at the seawater, it hesitated for a moment before roaring again and again. However, it did not chase after them. Clearly, it hated water.
"We're safe now. That was really close!"
After successfully escaping, Wen Zhan rejoiced.
"Luckily, we were stopped by Ou Shaotian and didn't go up to pick it. Otherwise, I'm afraid we'd all be roasted pigs."
Lang Chengwu rejoiced.
"Alright, let's go to the next place!"
Ou Shaotian shook his head.
Lurking monsters could hide from others, but under the observation of Aura Examination, a large mass of blood-red air was too obvious.
Naturally, he would not send everyone to their deaths.
Once again, he led the group downwards and upwards, turning left and right. After half an hour, they once again appeared in a huge karst cave.
However, there were already other teams in the cave, and they were fighting fiercely with some monsters.
There were even acquaintances among them.
Li Qianqian, Huang Long, and the others were all there.
"Brother Shaotian, you guys are here too. Hurry up and come over to help!"
Seeing Ou Shaotian and the others appear, Huang Long and the others were overjoyed. Huang Long even said directly.
"Sure, we can help. Same old rules!"
Ou Shaotian said aloud.
"Okay, still five times the price!"
Huang Long did not hesitate and agreed directly.
"Okay, leave these monsters to us. You guys go fishing for the Scarlet Fruit!"
Ou Shaotian said aloud.
Then, he led Wu Aoyi and the others to kill the monsters.
These fire monsters were all about level-five of level-two, equivalent to level-four or level-five fishing grandmasters. They could breathe fire and their combat power was very terrifying.
There were only three fire monsters entangling Huang Long and the others.
Including his teammates, Huang Long only had five people, all junior fishing grandmasters. They were already in danger.
That was why he agreed to pay five times the price without hesitation.
The three fire monsters were nothing to Ou Shaotian and the others, and they were soon killed.
Ou Shaotian activated his knife intent and killed one of them with one slash.
"Over here, we also want to help. Same old rules, five times the price!"
On the other side, Li Qianqian and the others also shouted.
"Okay, we'll be right there!"
Ou Shaotian responded.
Soon, Ou Shaotian and the others also helped Li Qianqian and the others block a few fire monsters, while Li Qianqian and the others went fishing for the Scarlet Fruit.
This scene naturally fell into the eyes of the other teams.
Soon, someone couldn't help but ask.
"What's going on? What old rules? Five times the price?"
Not far away, the fatty who was also blocked by a group of four or five fire monsters shouted.
"Fatty Jin, pay five times the price of the Scarlet Fruit. They help us block these fire monsters!"
Li Qianqian answered while fishing.
In the magma lake in the distance, there were several Scarlet Fruit Trees. Some were close and some were far away. Naturally, the closer ones were easier to catch.
"Brother, I'm Jin Wanbao from Goldstar Island. I have plenty of money. I'll pay five times the price. Oh no, I'll pay ten times. Take it as making friends!"
The fat man, Jin Wanbao, shouted loudly.
"Brother Shaotian, Fatty Jin is a man of his word. You can trust him!"
Huang Long, who was fishing, said after hearing this.
"Okay!"
Ou Shaotian didn't waste any time. He responded and killed a fire monster in front of him with one slash before going over to help.
To him, these fire monsters were just a matter of killing them with one slash.
Even in a situation where their combat strength was equal, these fire monsters could withstand his Knife Intent. Moreover, these fire monsters' combat strength was lower than his.
"Brother, thank you. I'll give you the money later!"
Jin Wanbao said gratefully when he saw Ou Shaotian killing the Rank 2, Level 4, and Level 5 fire monsters as soon as he arrived.
After the fire monsters were dealt with, Fatty Jin hurriedly led his underlings to fish.
Among the three teams, he was the richest and had the most underlings.
He had a total of fifteen members.
They had more members than Li Qianqian and Huang Long's teams combined.
With ten times the price, Ou Shaotian and the others would definitely make a huge profit.
"You guys go ahead and fish. Leave these fire monsters to us. Just remember to pay when you get back!"
After killing this wave, Ou Shaotian led Yun Duo and the others to the edge of the magma lake to kill the fire monsters that kept popping up.
They also kept the corpses of the fire monsters. As for whether they could be eaten, they would study it when they got back.
However, this cave was very big. Li Qianqian and the others weren't the only ones in there. There were other teams as well.
However, not everyone was willing to pay several times the price to buy the Cinnabar Fruit.
Even if some people were willing to pay, they didn't have the money.
Many people had already spent all their money by the time they reached this stage.
As for looking for trouble with Ou Shaotian and the others, they didn't dare to do so. They couldn't even deal with the fire monsters, but Ou Shaotian and the others could easily kill them.
If they came over, they wouldn't be looking for trouble. They would be looking for death.
Therefore, the others could only watch enviously as Li Qianqian and the others fished for the Cinnabar Fruit.
"Brother Shaotian, I'm done here. I've caught a total of five fruits. I'll give you the money when we get back."
Soon, Huang Long and his teammates completed their fishing.
With Ou Shaotian and the others escorting them and without the fire monsters disturbing them, it was easy for them to fish. They were able to catch one fruit with a few hits.
