Chapter 173 Burning the Body

Each branch of the Vermilion Fruit Tree was like steel bars, and when it was whipped in the air, it would make a violent sound. Under such an attack, the body of a martial artist in the Zang Realm would turn into meat paste in just a moment.

But Baka only protected his head and rushed in. As long as he didn't hit its head, he would not care about attacking branches in other places.

"Hey, I said you've had enough. I just want to take one of your fruits, not to uproot you. Do you have to do this!"

Perhaps it was really painful to be whipped, Baka finally couldn't help but shout loudly at the Vermilion Fruit Tree, but the Vermilion Fruit Tree responded with a more exaggerated frequency of whipping.

At this moment, the two sides were five meters apart, which was completely in the core attack area of ​​the Vermilion Fruit Tree. The frequency of attacks here was so dense that it made people's scalps numb.

However, this position was the core attack area of ​​the Vermilion Fruit Tree, and it was also the most comfortable distance for Baka to attack.

"You forced me to do this. I just want a fruit!"

Baka suddenly roared, and his body, which was originally three meters away, grew more than one meter taller, reaching nearly five meters.

Along with his height, Baka's terrifying strength and his proud defense also grew.

If the branches of the Vermilion Fruit Tree would tear Baka's skin and flesh apart, then at this moment, these branches would only cause some scars on Baka.

And every scar on Baka's body was recovering at an astonishing speed. Many smaller scars were recovered on Baka as soon as the branches were pulled out.

This is Baka's true combat form, and also the violent form. The only disadvantage is that in addition to greatly consuming the energy in the body, the speed will also slow down a lot.

This is an inevitable result after the sudden increase in strength and defense.

Now Baka is only five meters away from the Vermilion Fruit Tree. Speed ​​has no effect on Baka at all. Baka now only needs extreme strength and defense.

"Bang!"

Baka punched out, and the branches blocking the front were instantly broken by more than half. Just as Baka was about to step forward, several branches tied up Baka's calves.

The branches contracted vigorously, and the terrifying force was enough to turn the fine iron into iron mud. It was allowed to be rubbed, but these branches could not cause any damage to Baka's thighs at this moment, at most some insignificant scars.

"Bang!"

It sounded like the sound of steel bars being forcibly pulled and broken. Baka just exerted force and broke all the branches on his legs. Even if more branches were wrapped around, they could not stop Baka's pace.

"I said, I only want the fruit!"

Baka roared, and his two hands began to hammer forward frantically. The force of each punch was terrifying. Although the branches of the vermilion fruit tree tried their best to block, they were still beaten to pieces.

The Vermilion Fruit Tree seemed to sense the danger, and new branches began to grow frantically on each branch. In just a blink of an eye, the number of branches on the Vermilion Fruit Tree increased to three times the original number.

And this is far from the limit. The branches on the tree are still increasing. The branches blocking Baka are so dense that he can't see the road ahead at all.

"Roar!"

Baka roared and hit the real fire. The roots on his head suddenly shrank. Baka's eyes suddenly shone, and a shield-like Qi appeared outside his body. Baka stepped back with his right foot and rushed into the group of branches.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of steel bars breaking was endless. Baka relied on this Qi to instantly cross the obstacle that seemed like a natural moat and came to the Vermilion Fruit Tree.

The Vermilion Fruit Tree's body trembled violently. It didn't expect Baka to actually rush in front of its body. What happened next was entirely Baka's choice of life or death.

"I said, I only want the fruit!"

Baka snorted, and two air columns spurted out of his nose, hitting the Vermilion Fruit Tree. The Vermilion Fruit Tree trembled, and just when it was about to take the initiative to drop the fruit, a big hand had already grabbed the branch.

"Bang!"

Baka pulled the fruit and the branch off, and the Vermilion Fruit Tree kept shaking, not knowing whether it was in pain or fear.

"I said, I only want the fruit, but you insisted on doing this, I'm so angry!"

Baka was about to turn around and leave, but he was still a little angry, so he kicked the main trunk of the Vermilion Fruit Tree.

There was a huge roar, the ground trembled violently, and the Vermilion Fruit Tree was kicked backwards, and countless roots underground were broken, and at the same time, the soil in front was lifted up, looking like a ground dragon rolling violently.

After letting out a little air, Baka snorted coldly, stepped back with his right foot, grabbed the small branch in his hand, and ran towards his residence.

A few miles away, the python that had been chasing Chen Fei seemed to have received some news, completely gave up Chen Fei, and rushed to the location of the vermilion fruit tree.

Chen Fei did not continue to lure the python. After so much time, Baka either succeeded or ran away because he was defeated by the vermilion fruit tree.

In either case, Chen Fei returned to the location of the cave and waited for Baka.

Half an hour later, Chen Fei returned to the location of the cave and found that Baka had returned. Seeing Chen Fei, Baka proudly showed the fruit in his hand.

Chen Fei stepped forward and took a look at the fruit, confirming that it was a vermilion fruit. Then Chen Fei looked at Baka's feet, where there was a green branch with many branches left on it.

"Is this from that tree?" Chen Fei asked curiously.

"Yes, I was upset by it, so I tore off the tree trunk around the fruit."

Baka nodded, and then touched the fibrous roots on the top of his head with some distress. These are the gathering points of its body's energy, which can be used when desperate.

After taking medicinal herbs every day, there were only a dozen or so roots on Baka's head. But today, one was inserted into it for the sake of fruit.

Chen Fei glanced at the top of Baka's head and then at the tree trunk at his feet.

The texture of this tree trunk looks like it could be used as a spiritual material. Chen Fei had seen the power of the branches of the vermilion fruit tree before. Ordinary gold and iron were just a joke in front of those branches.

One can imagine the texture of these branches, not to mention the branches above the branches. The material must be better.

"You want it? Then you had told me earlier, I could have gotten more just now."

Baka couldn't help but smile when he saw Chen Fei observing the branches. At that time, Baka could not only take more, but also probably remove the main trunk of the vermilion fruit tree.

"If you say so, I will accept it."

Chen Fei didn't refuse, he leaned over and lifted the branch up. He had been waiting for Baka's words just now.

"This thing is not edible." Baka said with a smile. Only edible things are useful to it.

Of course, now because of Chen Fei, it has become useful to make things taste better.

"Do you want to eat this fruit nutritiously, or do you just pursue the taste?"

After collecting an extra branch that was no less than a spiritual material, Chen Fei decided to trick Baka less.

"There are two other ways to eat this fruit?"

Baka couldn't help but be startled and asked doubtfully: "What are the two explanations? I know very little, you can't lie to me."

"It's all your own choice. What can I lie to you about?"

A smile appeared on Chen Fei's face. There are two paths. You choose one. If you find problems later, it's because you made the wrong choice. What does it have to do with me?

"Then tell me the difference." Baka felt that what Chen Fei said made sense and nodded.

"Eating nutritiously means stimulating the energy in this fruit to the greatest extent possible. Do you know about alchemy? It's a bit similar to that."

Chen Fei made a gesture. He knew that Baka had absorbed the memory fragments of a warrior and should have an impression of alchemy.

Sure enough, when he heard about alchemy, Baka nodded. He really knew a little about this thing. Of course, it was just a rough impression.

After all, the warrior he absorbed couldn't make elixirs himself.

"It is nutritious, but the taste is very average. If you are pursuing taste, you need to divide this fruit into inner and outer layers. The outer pulp part tastes better. I will make it for you to eat, and the inner layer belongs to me. The pulp and Inner layer, the weight is comparable.”

This Chen Fei did not deceive Baka, but Chen Fei also missed one thing, that is, although the pulp part tastes better, it contains less energy, accounting for only about 30% of the whole fruit.

This was something Chen Fei discovered after eating a vermilion fruit. Others had no way of knowing it since they had never been exposed to it.

After listening to Chen Fei's words, Baka frowned slightly and seemed a little hesitant.

Having just used one of the roots on its head, Baka actually wanted to replenish its energy, which would make it feel more secure. After all, this secret realm is too dangerous.

As a native, Baka feels that this place is full of dangers.

But when something is nutritious, it tastes bad. When I first went to look for this vermilion fruit, I was looking for the taste. If the food didn't taste good, wouldn't it have failed the original goal?

Baka hesitated again and again and touched the roots on the top of his head. There were still more than a dozen roots anyway, so one missing one didn't matter. He'd better eat something delicious first.

"I want it to taste good," Baka said loudly.

"as you wish!"

A smile appeared on Chen Fei's lips, and he cut the vermilion fruit with all his strength, showing the pulp and inner layer to Baka.

When Bukan saw that the two were indeed similar in size, he couldn't help but smile. He felt that Chen Fei was an honest person.

Chen Fei spent an hour, thoroughly demonstrating the spirit of craftsmanship, and made a large bowl of concoction and handed it to Baka.

As soon as Baka drank, the expression on his face completely froze.

It tastes so good, many times better than the two bowls of concoction Chen Fei prepared before. Compared to what I was drinking before, what I drank before was just scum.

When Chen Fei saw Baka's expression, the smile on his face became even brighter.

If something made from spiritual materials doesn’t taste good, how can we continue to look for other spiritual materials in the future?

However, the other spiritual materials are put aside for now. Chen Fei needs to refine his own portion of the vermilion fruit first.

It took Chen Fei five full days to refine a vermilion fruit before, but now there is only half of it, so naturally it doesn't take that much time, and there are other medicinal materials to match it, so it takes even less time.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Fei picked up the stone bowl in his hand. The vermilion fruit had already blended into it. Chen Fei raised his head and drank it in one gulp.

As if he drank a ball of fire, Chen Fei's whole body seemed to be on fire.
