Chapter 259: Sky Fruits
Some times later, Qin Feng reached a spacious underground part of the cave that looked to be about a thousand square meters large. From the ground to the ceiling was a height of about thirty meters. In this underground cave, there was a giant tree. It was so big that it needed seven to eight people to fully hug the tree. Branches stretched in all directions of the cave and some roots were crawling along the cave wall.
Between the dense leaves of the giant tree were little sparkling lights.
Qin Feng was dazed for a moment when he saw the giant tree, and soon it was followed by a feeling of ecstasy and disbelief, "This, this is a Sky Fruit Tree?"
A Sky Fruit Tree bore a strange fruit called Sky Fruit. For the martial warriors, not only could this fruit enhance their spirit energy, but it could also enhance their physical body, from strengthening all the muscles and bones, the flesh, and even the internal organs. Eating Sky Fruits on a long-term basis could increase the body's defense, making it become as hard as star iron which was known to be the hardest metal in the Profound Spirit Continent. Even rare swords or blades would find it hard to penetrate through the skin.
This was also the spirit fruit that the Purple-winged Nether Sparrow. With the help of the little monkey, Qin Feng was able to reach this place so easily.
"Hoo Haa! Hoo Haa!" At this time, the little monkey dashed towards the giant tree and was already climbing up the trunk. He plucked a sky fruit with his tiny hands and swallowed it whole with a 'Gulu' sound.
Qin Feng smiled when he saw this. He didn't stop the little monkey from eating a Sky Fruit because it was this monkey who brought him here.
Qin Feng arrived under the huge Sky Fruit Tree and his hands enveloped with spirit energy shot a stream of energy, directly hitting a Sky Fruit. His left hand received the falling Sky Fruit, then he brought it to his mouth and bit into it.
Instantly, ambrosia nectar filled Qin Feng's mouth and when he swallowed it, warm energy flowed into his veins and meridians.
He quickly sat down and started circulating the Second Layer of Nameless Cultivation Technique to refine the energy from the Sky Fruit.
As he refined the Sky Fruit, spirit energy started to surge within his body. It started rolling and crashing in his meridians. At the same time, Qin Feng felt faint traces of the Sky Fruit's spiritual energy nourishing all the muscles, bones, and internal organs of his body. It was strengthening them and making them firmer.
One silver spear filled with countless bolts of lightning and one red spear that was burning with intense fire flew out and started floating above Qin Feng's head as the spiritual aura gushed down on him.
Time continued to pass and very soon, the night arrived and passed.
Rays of sunlight shining down from the mountain peaks fell on Qin Feng's body, warming him.
Withdrawing the two battle spirits back into his body, Qin Feng stopped circulating the Nameless Cultivation Technique and got up. Both fists suddenly punched out at a cave wall twenty meters away and left a foot deep mark.
The cave wall shook and loose rocks tumbled down.
This result caused his eyes to light up in excitement. This Sky Fruit was truly something special. Just one night of cultivation had increased his physical power significantly and when attacking, the explosive power of his muscles and tendons had become a lot stronger.
If he continued to cultivate this way, by just relying on his physical body and its explosive power, he could face a major realm stronger martial warrior.
As he lowered his hands, Qin Feng looked around the cave and noticed that the little monkey was refining the Sky Fruit's energy while seated on one of the tree's branches.
There were only two Sky Fruits on the Sky Fruit Tree. One of them was eaten by the little monkey while the other one was eaten by him. Now, there was no point in staying there, so Qin Feng choose to leave the place.
If he could also eat the other Sky Fruit, his cultivation level really could have broken through to the Late Stage of Heaven Ascension Realm.
Seeing that the little monkey was still refining the Sky Fruit, Qin Feng did not disturb it and prepared to walk out of the cave.
Suddenly, footsteps of people entering the cave could be heard. Qin Feng was alerted.
At this moment, the coming people have come closer and Qin Feng could hear their voices clearly.
"That Sky Fruit Tree really grows in this underground cave?"
"It shouldn't be wrong. According to the Treasure Mirror's indication, the Sky Fruit Tree should be in this cave. The nice scent we smelled earlier is definitely the Sky Fruits' fragrance!"
The group of footsteps grew closer and louder.
From the voices, the newcomers were likely to be two people. Not long after, two twenty-something-year-old young men arrived.
Both men wore light black-colored uniforms that represented the uniform of Second Year Students in the Milky Way Academy.
On arriving at the underground cave, both men were surprised to see Qin Feng and the little monkey. Apparently, they didn't expect to find anybody here, not to mention a young man who was not even wearing the dress of Milky Way Academy and a little monkey that was cultivating.
However, when they noticed the giant tree behind Qin Feng, their eyes shone brightly, filled with mad ecstasy.
"Sky Fruit Tree!"
"There really is a Sky Fruit Tree in this underground cave!"
One of them broke out in loud laughter, "Haha, Gu Wan, I've already said the Treasure Mirror was right. The Sky Fruit Tree is really here in this underground cave.
Both of them were talking and laughing, totally ignoring Qin Feng, who looked like a harmless young man and the little monkey.
In their eyes, the Sky Fruit Tree was the most important.
Qin Feng kept silent the entire time. He watched them with interest.
After laughing for a while, Gu Wan and the other student finally stopped and turned their attention to the Sky Fruit Tree.
"There is no fruit?"
"It is said that the Sky Fruit Tree bears only two fruit every 200 years. It takes another hundred years for them to mature. It must be there, look closely!"
"No, there is no Sky Fruit on the Sky Fruit Tree. Someone must have taken them before us!"
"I know who had taken the Sky Fruits. Look at that monkey and this boy. These two must have taken our Sky Fruits!"
Qin Feng, who was just ignored by them, became the focus. They looked at Qin Feng with fire in their eyes. It was as if they would eat Qin Feng alive.
"Boy, you dare to steal our Sky Fruits?" Gu Wan said, "Hand over the Sky Fruit instantly otherwise you will die?"
The other student beside sneered and said, "Why do we have to ask for the fruits from this kid, we can directly take it back. Anyway, from the looks of it, that monkey must have eaten the other fruit and is in the process of refining the energy within. After taking care of this brat, we'll take care of that monkey." After he said that, he walked towards Qin Feng.
Ten meters away from Qin Feng, that guy unsheathed his long sword as he looked at him, saying, "Boy, initially your luck wasn't bad to actually find this place. Too bad you bumped into us. Now, not only we'll take away the Sky Fruits from that spatial ring on your finger, but we'll also take away everything that belongs to you!"
"And the only thing left for you is to die!"
The long sword in the young man's hand suddenly stabbed at Qin Feng's throat.
"Don't worry, with just one sword strike, you won't feel any pain!"
Just when the long sword in the young man's hand was about to stab into Qin Feng's throat, it stopped midway. the young man's face stiffened as he looked on with disbelief. The tip of his longsword was pinched in between two fingers.
While he was still stunned, Qin Feng flashed and disappeared. A cold sword light slashed past.
The young man's body remained rigid still as both of his eyes slacked and slowly dimmed, then his body fell to the ground.
"You're right. All it needs is just one sword strike and it won't be painful." Qin Feng said with a cold expression.
The young man's body fell to the ground and only then did blood start to seep out from his throat.
"Chen Yun!" Not far away, Gu Wan shouted when he saw his comrade tumbling to the ground.. By this time, Qin Feng had already started moving in his direction.
