"Si!"
The bite wasn't light. It had already pierced through Su Chen's skin and into his muscles. It was so painful that Su Chen hurriedly flung the two squirrels away. At the same time, he conjured his pure Yang flames in preparation to roast the squirrels.
However, the gravity in the Hundred Fruit Forest was just too ferocious. Although Su Chen's pure Yang flames looked ferocious, before they touched the two squirrels, they sank into the ground and were absorbed by the ground.
What was going on?
While Su Chen was in a daze, the two squirrels quickly jumped out and left several bloody marks on Su Chen's body.
Su Chen was furious. He summoned the Taiji immortal sword and slashed out a sword beam. However, after the sword beam streaked across the sky, it plunged into the ground. It posed no threat to the two squirrels.
Strange!
The Hundred Fruit Forest was very strange.
There seemed to be something underneath the forest.
Su Chen's heart skipped a beat as he teleported and appeared tens of meters below the ground of the orchard.
Su Chen was surprised to discover that there was a huge cave under the fruit forest. In the cave, there was a pile of gigantic skeletons.
Fiendcelestial skeletons!
Dozens of Fiendcelestial skeletons emitted terrifying energy fluctuations. This was the source of the powerful gravity in the mystic realm.
Su Chen was swept by a powerful suppression. Every cell in his body felt like they were being struck by a heavy hammer. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood as he fell and slammed to the ground.
"Aiyaya, little guy, why are you here? Aren't you asking for trouble?" The skeleton sister suddenly flew over.
Su Chen struggled to flip over as he said while panting, "Sister, did you place these Fiendcelestials here?"
"That's right. Otherwise, why do you think the Hundred Fruit Forest is growing so well? They absorbed the flesh and blood essence of the Demon Gods. That's why they can grow into mutant fruits. It's a pity that the Demon Gods are almost extinct now. Otherwise, if I can get a few hundred more Demon Gods, I might be able to grow a few Saint Fruits in this forest."
Su Chen was speechless when he heard this. What kind of background did this elder sister have? Using the flesh and blood of a demonic god to cultivate an orchard, this was too much!
"Do you need me to send you out?"
Su Chen shook his head and teleported back to the orchard.
"Where did you go just now?" Purple Phoenix could not help but ask.
Su Chen frowned and said, "There are dozens of demon god skeletons underground."
"Hiss …"
When the Purple Phoenix heard this, she could not help but be shocked.
The Demon God was the most terrifying existence in the ancient times. He was once the ruler of the Xuanyuan Continent. If the Demon God had not perished, the Xuanyuan Continent would not have been ruled by the cultivators. They would still be slaves of the Demon Race.
Legend had it that the Demon God was invincible. He had unparalleled strength and could easily destroy a part of the world.
More than a dozen of such powerful Devil Gods were actually buried under this Hundred Fruit Forest.
"Could it be the skeleton sister's doing?"
Su Chen nodded.
Purple Phoenix was even more shocked. She had also guessed the skeleton sister's background, but now it seemed that her background was even more shocking than she had guessed.
What the Purple Phoenix was most worried about now was not the Demon Gods who had been dead for many years, but the mysterious skeleton sister.
She had tricked them into coming here. Could it be that she wanted to use them as fertilizer for this orchard?!
Seeing the Purple Phoenix's frightened expression, Su Chen knew what she was thinking.
Coincidentally, Su Chen was also worried about this problem.
Although Su Chen's instincts told him that the skeleton sister would not do anything to juniors like them, who could say for sure?
No matter what, he had to be more careful.
Squeak!
When the two squirrels saw Su Chen return, they leaped over again. Moreover, they had a companion, a black squirrel.
The three colors of black, white, and gray were all present.
Su Chen was directly surrounded by the squirrels. Seeing that the squirrels were about to bite him, Su Chen did not move at all. He stood in the same place as if nothing had happened.
"Su Chen, are you stupid? Quickly dodge!" Purple Phoenix shouted anxiously.
Su Chen grinned and allowed the squirrels to bite his body.
A sharp pain came.
At this moment, Su Chen's muscles suddenly tightened and became as hard as steel. The three squirrels' teeth were forcibly stuck by Su Chen's muscles, unable to move.
"Squeak, squeak!"
The three squirrels frantically tried to escape, but Su Chen's muscles were too hard. There was nothing they could do.
At the same time, a blazing flame emitted from Su Chen's body. The three squirrels were unable to dodge and could only let the flame burn them. Their fluffy fur was instantly burned to ashes. A moment later, the three squirrels became three roasted squirrels.
Su Chen's body shook and shook off the three dead squirrels. His wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He once again walked under the fruit tree. This time, there was no fourth squirrel to stop him.
The fruit tree was luxuriant, but only three fruits hung from it.
They were bright red like a dragon fruit. Su Chen directly plucked them.
Unexpectedly, the moment Su Chen's palm touched the fruit, it directly turned into a clear stream and poured into Su Chen's body.
Su Chen suddenly panicked, but soon felt a surge of warmth in his body. The mutant fruit began to strengthen Su Chen's heart.
"Thump …"
"Thump …"
Su Chen's heartbeat became like thunder. It was so loud that even the deaf could hear it.
Under the powerful driving force of his heart, the blood was fully driven throughout his body. Su Chen could fully feel the blood driving the strength of his muscles to increase.
About three minutes later, the power of the mutant fruit was completely absorbed by Su Chen's heart. His heartbeat began to stabilize, but he could clearly feel that the strength of Su Chen's heart had increased by more than 20%.
Under the driving force of his heart, Su Chen's muscles received more blood and nutrients. The strength of his muscles also increased by about 10%.
With Su Chen's current physical strength, a 10% increase in muscle strength might not seem like much, but it was actually very shocking!
Su Chen was overjoyed. He was about to pick the second red fruit, but before his fingers could touch the fruit, he was repelled by a powerful force.
"Young man, don't be too greedy. You can only eat one of each fruit here." The voice of the skeleton lady floated from the depths of the fruit tree.
Su Chen blushed with shame.
He turned to the Purple Phoenix and Fairy Bi Xia and said, "Come over and absorb the mutant fruit. Just touch it. This thing can't be taken away."
The Purple Phoenix struggled to get up, but before she could take two steps, she felt her legs go soft and fell to the ground again. She said, "No, I can't walk. Why don't you come over and carry me over?"
Su Chen rolled his eyes and directly shot out a divine pattern, pulling the two over at the same time.
Su Chen forcefully lifted the two of them up and let them touch the mutant fruit.
"Hmm …"
As the mutant fruit entered their bodies, the Purple Phoenix and Fairy Bi Xia's faces turned red at the same time. Their heartbeats accelerated and their chests rose and fell.
