Chapter 254: Ghost Face Mask
Searching within the Heaven-Swallowing Python’s territory, Lin Yun finally discovered the Ghost Fruit in the central region, hidden inside the trunk of a towering, ancient tree. He also found a triangular shard made of some unknown material.
’What is this...?’ Lin Yun had no idea what the shard was, but he could feel a terrifying power emanating from it.
Unsure of what it was, Lin Yun decided it was better to be safe than sorry and tried to store it in his Space Ring. To his surprise, the shard couldn’t be stored in the Space Ring at all.
It was as if the two repelled each other. No matter how many times Lin Yun tried, he couldn’t get the shard into his Space Ring.
’It can’t even be contained by a Space Ring?’ Lin Yun wondered. This only strengthened his conviction that the shard was something extraordinary.
Since he couldn’t store it away, Lin Yun had no choice but to tuck it into his robes. Fortunately, the shard wasn’t very large.
After stowing the shard, Lin Yun picked up the three Ghost Fruits next to it. ’This is great stuff.’ With these three Ghost Fruits, when his Soul Thought eventually evolved into a Divine Soul, it would be far more powerful than that of an ordinary person.
Pleased with his acquisition of the Ghost Fruit, Lin Yun didn’t dare to linger. With a flash, he took Little Ape and dashed back toward the cave.
Meanwhile, the Monk and Daoist were still being miserably hunted by the Heaven-Swallowing Python. The entire chase had left them complaining bitterly. ’This stupid snake is just ridiculously stubborn!’
The chase had already reached the outer edges of the Mysterious Forest, but the Heaven-Swallowing Python showed no signs of giving up. The Monk and Daoist had no other choice but to plunge into the forest’s periphery, where the air once again grew humid and scorching.
The outskirts of the Mysterious Forest were dim and home to Tree Spirits. Upon entering, the Monk and Daoist began to duck and hide, trying to use the terrain to lose the Heaven-Swallowing Python.
After countless near-death experiences, the Monk and Daoist finally shook off the Heaven-Swallowing Python. Or more accurately, the python had turned back on its own. Having chased them so far, it had suddenly remembered the Ghost Fruit it was supposed to be guarding.
