Chapter 752 - 729: Take the Blame (1/3)
No one, not even a Demon Beast, stopped Zhou Heng from picking the Fire Elemental Fruit this time, and he wasn’t in a rush either. Since the Crested Serpent had mentioned that the Fire Elemental Fruit was about to ripen, it was better for him to wait a bit longer.
As the saying goes, a journey of a hundred miles is half over at ninety miles. What if he missed the final touch of ripeness, which could potentially double the effect?
After all, he just had to wait for one day at most.
Indeed, half a day later, the two Fire Elemental Fruits immediately began to change. The stems beneath them withered in a matter of seconds, and the two fruits suddenly fell from the stems.
Zhou Heng hurriedly caught them and stored them in his Space Artifact. Clearly, this rocky wall was not a good place for the refinement and absorption of Spirit Fruits.
Continuing to climb down, it took him another half day before he finally reached the bottom of the gorge, which was still a land burnt by flames. However, Zhou Heng surprisingly found several plants thriving!
Unfortunately, most of these plants had no medicinal value. The only one capable of bearing Spirit Fruit had just started to bloom; it was still some time away from bearing fruit, let alone ripening.
If only Mu Tongtong were here, her Elf Empress bloodline could rapidly catalyze the growth of the Spirit Grass.
He didn’t bring his Immortal Residence here, so he could only look at the Spirit Grass and sigh, unable to take it with him!
He stood there and used the Blood River Heavenly Scripture to extinguish the flames on the ground and then continuously used Spiritual Power to freeze the area, at least making it temporarily not as scorched under his feet.
Zhou Heng sat down cross-legged; he needed to immediately digest the Life Essence Qi absorbed by the Black Sword and refine the benefits from the two Fire Elemental Fruits.
