The news of the ruins appearing in the six-star beast domain caused quite a stir in the Star Cloud Legion.
The formation of these ruins was indeed peculiar.
In the past, when the star beasts invaded Tianyuan Star, the human race and the beast race had a great war. Many forces directly moved their entire sect to the star beast realm and, with their own flesh and blood, built a steel bulwark.
Admittedly, only a few survived, and the vast majority of sects perished in the star beast realm, eventually turning into ruins.
These ruins not only included the ruins of human sects but also the ruins of star beast forces.
In that three-year long world-shaking war, many superpowers of the star beast realm also fell.
These ruins attracted many star card engineers to explore. Some discovered opportunities, rose to great heights, and soared directly to the sky.
However, the lucky ones were few, and most star card engineers returned empty-handed, or even turning into white bones, forever staying in that place.
This time, not only did the seven temples of the Star Cloud Legion send star card engineers to explore the ruins, but some other forces in the northern part of the federation also joined the ranks of adventurers.
Although it was only a small ruin in the six-star beast domain, for many small forces, making gains in the ruins could change the future of their forces.
Six-star beast domain.
Xiao Xuan fluttered his pure white wings and landed on a certain hilltop.
The little tiger in his arms was browsing videos on his card reader.
In the video, a girl was holding a kitten and they were meowing together.
The little tiger was watching intently and then started meowing along.
Xiao Xuan twitched his mouth. He suspected the little tiger's mother was probably a cat too.
"Let's call you Gungun, how about that?" Xiao Xuan said.
"Roar!" The little tiger showed a dissatisfied look. What kind of name was that? It wasn't fierce at all!
"Otherwise, should I name you something like Divine, Emperor, or Lord?" Xiao Xuan rubbed its forehead and said, "My Gungun is the cutest."
He had planned to bring Ruoxi along for the adventure today, but she had gracefully declined. She had mentioned previously that she had dropped out of the top four competition due to health reasons, and now if she were to compete for the ruins, it would inevitably invite gossip.
"If that's the case, I'll have to find a way to make it up to her in the future," Xiao Xuan sighed softly. He realized that Ruoxi's reason for abstaining was simply to avoid distracting herself and focus on preparing for the final.
Her help was out of goodwill, not obligation, and that goodwill needed to be repaid.
Xiao Xuan took a deep breath, shifted his focus, and looked down at the map.
It was prepared by Su Ming and almost every place in the ruins with good items was marked for him.
The next place he was heading to was called the Luminous Tree, which bore Luminous Fruits.
The effects of the Luminous Fruit were similar to the Mysterious Source Fruit. By refining it, it could greatly enhance cultivation.
However, compared to the Mysterious Source Fruit, the effect of enhancement was several times better. After all, the Mysterious Source Fruit was only effective for two-star card engineers, while the Luminous Fruit was coveted even by four-star card engineers.
...
Luminous Tree.
At this time, quite a few star card engineers had gathered here. If Xiao Xuan were here, he would recognize the leader as the chief of the Forget Love Temple, Ayoudou.
She was a young lady wearing a black dress, with an extremely enchanting appearance and bright red lips, giving off a bewitching vibe.
At this moment, she was staring blankly at a nearby ancient tree.
The tree was about ten yards high and looked like lustrous glass, with luxuriant branches and leaves, crystal clear and captivating. However, the most eye-catching aspect was a string of crystal-clear fruits.
The Luminous Fruit.
Mo Lingkong widened his eyes and exclaimed, "So many glass fruits, my goodness..."
Ye Xuanying looked at A Youduo and said with a smile, "If you have the assistance of glass fruits, your realm can be elevated, and your chances of winning the semifinals will undoubtedly be much higher."
A Youduo furrowed her brows and stared at the strings of glass fruits, saying, "I feel something is not right."
"Hmm?" Ye Xuanying was puzzled.
A Youduo said, "I have never heard of a glass tree producing so many glass fruits. This is too much..."
"What does that mean?" Mo Lingkong, with wide eyes, said, "It means our luck is too good."
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
At this moment, numerous gusts of wind sounded, and many star card masters came whistling in on their star cards.
A Youduo cast her gaze at the star card masters of other forces in the northern part of the Federation.
Mo Lingkong was itching to act and couldn't help but lick his lips, saying, "Let's take action quickly, it's not good when there are too many people."
The other star card masters behind him were also somewhat impatient.
Just as Mo Lingkong was about to step forward, he was stopped by A Youduo. "Wait a minute."
"Hmm?" Mo Lingkong was puzzled.
A Youduo raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a teasing tone, "Take a look and see if someone is missing."
Ye Xuanying and Mo Lingkong glanced around and then looked at each other in surprise, and said in unison, "Qin Sheng?!"
A Youduo nodded slightly and said, "With the appearance of the glass fruits, it is impossible for him not to know. But he didn't show up, which means..."
"This glass tree is problematic," said Ye Xuanying.
Mo Lingkong scratched the back of his head and said, "Let's wait and see."
Not far away, Fudi Xiaoxuan was also closely watching everything.
He inconspicuously summoned Lu Bu and Suimen, Lu Bu took out his bow and arrow while Suimen engraved a Thunder God mark on Lu Bu's arrow.
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
At this moment, star card masters from other forces came whistling to the glass tree and started snatching glass fruits.
Some of the onlookers couldn't help themselves as well, and joined in to grab the fruits.
They were quite smart; once they snatched the glass fruits, they immediately ate them on the spot.
Just then, Lu Bu strung his bow and shot an arrow into the empty space beside the glass tree.
Some of the star card masters who narrowly missed the arrow couldn't help but curse. What does it mean to shoot a cold arrow?
The star card masters who had eaten the glass fruits looked disdainfully at A Youduo and the others. Are you regretting it now?
Thinking that they had successfully snatched the glass fruits in front of the pride of the Star Nebula Legion, they felt very comfortable, and soon they discovered that their bodies were swelling...
"What's going on?!"
The star card masters who had eaten the glass fruits were now horrified because their bodies were expanding like balloons, getting larger and larger.
10 seconds later.
Boom!
Hiss...
A burst of cold air sucking sounds filled the air.
Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief, as it was too bizarre.
Mo Lingkong felt his scalp go numb, grateful to be stopped by A Youduo, otherwise, he might have exploded by now.
Pure source energy burst out from the bodies of those exploding star card masters, merging into the ancient glass tree, which greedily absorbed it.
Bang!
At the next moment, that previously ten-zhang tall ancient glass tree exploded abruptly under countless horrified gazes.
It was like a snake shedding its skin, a cicada shedding its shell, a phoenix undergoing Nirvana, and being reborn from the flames.
A delicate and exquisite glass tree appeared, with three crystal-clear fruits hanging from its emerald green branches.
Those fruits looked adorable and emitted a unique fragrance, unmistakably glass fruits!
Ye Xuanying was surprised and said, "These are the real glass fruits!"
A Youduo's pupils shrank slightly as she said, "I think the glass tree created an illusion earlier, luring people in, using star card masters as nutrients to accelerate its maturation."
"Hehe, better early than late." At this moment, a faint laughter sounded, and everyone looked up to see Qin Sheng and his companions coming at full speed.
A Youduo's pretty face turned cold as she said, "Qin Sheng, how did you know that there was a problem with this tree?"
"A problem?" Qin Sheng's eyes flickered as he smiled ambiguously and said, "I have no idea."
"I just arrived and saw this spectacular scene, and I'm also in the dark about it."
Ao Youduo sneered, "It seems like you came at just the right time."
Qin Sheng smiled faintly, without continuing to waste words, but instead, with a movement of his spirit, turned the star card into a flying eagle, heading straight for the Luminous Glass Tree.
Ao Youduo, equally unwilling to show weakness, took out a snow leopard card and headed straight for the Luminous Glass Tree.
Both star cards were as fast as lightning; now it was a matter of who could reach the Luminous Glass Tree first.
Not far away, Fudi Xian Xuan silently watched all this. He had hesitated to act before because he was afraid of any accidents.
Now that Qin Sheng had taken action, it meant that the Luminous Glass Tree should no longer be causing mischief.
With a movement of his spirit, the Water Gate appeared.
"Flying Thunder God!"
Whoosh!
In the next instant, the Water Gate, with a bitter smile, appeared next to the Luminous Glass Tree!
The Flying Thunder God of the Water Gate could, in an instant, reach any place marked with the Flying Thunder God seal.
Earlier, he had marked an imprint on Lu Bu's arrows, and then that arrow had shot to the side of the Luminous Glass Tree, so with a single move, he had appeared next to the Luminous Glass Tree.
At this moment, the snow leopard and the flying eagle were still halfway there!
Although they were fast, how could they compare to the fastest man in the Fire Shadow Realm, the one known as the Golden Flash!
So, under countless shocked gazes, the Water Gate swiftly plucked three Luminous Fruits.
"Stop him!"
Qin Sheng's face suddenly changed, and he immediately commanded.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Numerous star cards swooshed out, heading straight for the Water Gate.
A playful expression appeared in the Water Gate's eyes as the Flying Thunder God was deployed once again. In the next moment, he disappeared from the sight of the crowd!
