Chapter 279 - 280: Demon Awakening Fruit



Leaving the territory of the Poisonous Dragonfly, Zhu Minglang didn’t want to provoke this terrifying creature. After all, having obtained the detoxifying resin, the Polluted Night Sacrifice Dragon was no longer a fatal threat.

Not long after stepping out, the sky above the valley shaded by the large trees suddenly filled with a swarm of Mourning Dragons. Some of them had bat wings, enabling them to fly directly through the air, while others sped along those towering trees with incredible velocity!

They were the Shadow Funeral Dragons and Bat Wing Sorcery Dragons!

Within the Ancient Ruins, these Mourning Dragons seemed to have established their own territory, and it was uncertain whether they were out hunting or returning to their nests at this moment.

Zhu Minglang and Li Xinghua didn’t think too much about it; to find a strategy against these powerful Mourning Dragons, they needed to locate the source of their strength.

The toxicity of the Polluted Night Sacrifice Dragon was spreading, and nature was unable to cycle and filter it because its poison came from the Ancient Venom Fly Dragon—a toxin far too ancient…

The Shadow Funeral Dragons were the main force attacking the entire Pear Blossom Gully.

They excelled at camouflage and cooperative hunting, but most importantly, despite having only the strength of a junior grade, they could unleash the power of a Lord Level with the Evil Spirit Shadow swirling around them!

What exactly was that shadow?

Could it be a talent evolved by the Shadow Funeral Dragons in these Ancient Ruins?

If there truly were no countermeasures, they might have to consider relocating the people of Pear Blossom Gully.

However, relocation for most clans wasn’t much different from extinction. Leaving the land they relied on for survival, losing their living skills, they would find it hard to establish a foothold, easily falling into destitution.

Following the dragon swarm, Zhu Minglang quickly noticed that these dragons did not possess that Demonic Qi.

The ferocious Shadow Funeral Dragons they had encountered earlier emitted Evil Qi that closely entwined their bodies, like a bat Demon God, endowing them with greater explosive power, even when merely sprinting or coordinating an ambush—the Demonic Qi was very potent.

Yet this group of Mourning Dragons, hurrying toward a certain location, seemed to lack this Demonic Qi.

Zhu Minglang and Li Xinghua pursued them, both feeling that this shadow power was strange—it wasn’t innate, and some Mourning Dragons had it while others did not.

Following the Mourning Dragon Army, Zhu Minglang and Li Xinghua arrived at a cliff in the valley of the ruins that hung in the air!

This hanging cliff was very peculiar. It was about fifty meters above the ground; at first glance, it seemed as though the entire cliff was suspended in the air. However, upon approaching, one would discover that beneath the cliff, there grew a type of tough vine. These vines, like the beams under some cliffside villas, completely supported the cliff…

“Am I seeing things, or do you also feel the cliff is rising?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“It is indeed floating higher. Those tough vines are still growing, and in the process, they’re lifting the cliff even higher,” Li Xinghua said.

Surely this was a feature of the Ancient Ruins—where even the vine plants were wildly vigorous!

In the outside world, vines grew in compliance with nature, especially in places obstructed by robust stones and rocks. They would flexibly wind around, searching for cracks to penetrate.

The ancient vines here grew any way they wanted, with the mountain cliff pressing on top, they were lifting the entire cliff away!

“Those Mourning Dragons are eating the fruits of the vines,” Li Xinghua pointed out the Sky Support Vines.

“They’re in such a rush just to fill their bellies here? That’s not right, Mourning Dragons are carnivorous, and they don’t eat anything that’s not alive. How could they possibly come here to eat vegetarian fruit??” Zhu Minglang said.

All dragons are very particular about their food.

Just as people cannot possibly live on eating sand, dragons likewise cannot absorb nutrients from food that does not suit their physical conditions.

“Have you noticed any changes in them?” Li Xinghua seemed to have noticed something and pointed to several Mourning Dragons emitting Demonic Qi from their bodies.

The Demonic Qi slowly emerged around these Mourning Dragons; previously many of them did not exude this aura, but after consuming the fruits of the Sky Support Vine, they gradually gained this power…

“Demon Awakening Fruits. So, these haven’t completely disappeared after all!” At this moment, an old and tired voice came from behind Zhu Minglang.

Zhu Minglang was already used to it; it was surely Mr. Jinli.

Mr. Jinli slowly moved his body, his large fish eyes staring at the Sky Support Vine below the cliff and then he continued, “Demon Awakening Fruits can awaken the Power of the Demon God and greatly enhance one’s strength. Generally, only dragons with special attributes can benefit from consuming them, and Demon Awakening Fruits are also one-time use.”

“These Mourning Dragons have eaten Demon Awakening Fruits, so they have strong Shadow Funeral powers, turning them into Lord Level Shadow Funeral Dragons,” Zhu Minglang frowned.

The Shadow Funeral power came from these Demon Awakening Fruits.

In other words, those Mourning Dragons that used the Shadow Funeral and lost their powerful Evil Qi would enter the Ancient Ruins from other cracks and then come here to eat Demon Awakening Fruits.

The problem was, there were quite a number of Demon Awakening Fruits, enough to sustain the Mourning Dragon Army’s repeated visits here.

“What are you still dawdling for, Zhu Minglang, are you going to wait until these guys spoil all the good stuff?” Mr. Jinli said somewhat irritably.

“Should we not observe them a bit longer?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“It’s true that Demon Awakening Fruits grow in patches quite nicely, but after one batch grows, who knows how long it will take for another to appear. Are you really willing to watch the Mourning Dragons gorge themselves until they burp and not even attempt to take all these rare Demon Awakening Fruits in one go? It’s hard to say whether it will work for other dragons, but the Divine Green Holy Dragon will definitely gain Demon Awakening powers if it eats them,” Mr. Jinli said.

“Mr. Jinli makes a good point. After all, if they obtain the Shadows, the ones who will suffer in the end are the people of Pear Blossom Gully,” Li Xinghua also nodded in agreement.

“Alright then, I’ll leave the Sword Spirit Dragon here to protect you,” Zhu Minglang said.

Li Xinghua shook her head and responded, “I’ll be fine.”

“Hurry up and go, what are you dawdling for? She’s a Prophet. If you, Zhu Minglang, die a thousand times in the wheel of fate, not a single hair on her head would be harmed,” Mr. Jinli said impatiently.

Despite his words, Zhu Minglang still left behind two Great Protectors, Blacktooth and Qing Zhuo, to ensure Li Xinghua’s safety. He then proceeded with the Sword Spirit Dragon and the Ice Morning White Dragon towards the suspended cliff below!

In fact, taking action now seemed rather appropriate.

Many Mourning Dragons were still climbing the Sky Support Vines, and they had no Evil Spirit Shadows on them, meaning that the strength of this large group of Mourning Dragons was only at the General Level at the moment!

Stopping them now and killing them before they could obtain the power of the Demon Awakening Fruits would indeed be several times easier than dealing with them afterward.

Moreover, even Mr. Jinli thought the fruits were valuable…

Not taking all of them would be inconsistent with one’s established style in the world!
