"Hahaha, I finally got this Dragon Fruit," Li Rui picked up the Dragon Fruit and examined it carefully, looking at it from different angles.
At that moment, Old Monster reminded him, "Hey, if you keep showing off like this, someone might snatch your precious Dragon Fruit away. Don't say I didn't warn you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Rui quickly stopped showing off. This was something he had worked hard to obtain; if someone took it away from him, he would be devastated.
Clearly, they were very happy.
"Alright, let's hurry up and leave. Didn't you notice anything?" Lightning Leopard said while vigilantly observing their surroundings.
"Huh? Where? It seems like nothing is wrong!" Li Rui looked around but didn't notice anything unusual.
At that moment, Old Monster seemed to have discovered something. "Not good!"
"What’s wrong? Why is everyone so jumpy? Is there really someone who wants our Dragon Fruit? If that's the case, what are we afraid of? With our strength, we shouldn't be worried about not being able to defeat them," Li Rui couldn't understand what they had noticed and assumed someone was coming to steal the Dragon Fruit.
Old Monster looked at Li Rui with a serious expression. "You're not wrong; there really is someone who wants to take our Dragon Fruit."
What the hell! Someone actually wants to steal our Dragon Fruit? They must be looking for trouble. "Where? Show yourself! How dare you try to take my Grandfather's things? I'll take care of you right now!" Li Rui said as he rolled up his sleeves, ready for a fight.
Old Monster pointed forward with a finger and then spun around in place.
Seeing Old Monster's actions, Li Rui was confused. "What? What does that mean? Are there people all around us trying to steal our Dragon Fruit?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Li Rui quickly looked around again and finally noticed something was off. Not far above them was a large group of flying Demon Beasts centered around Li Rui and his companions, attempting to surround them. On the ground, there was also a large group of Demon Beasts charging toward them, forming a circle.
"What the hell! Why didn't you tell me earlier!" As soon as Li Rui finished speaking, he decided to use his most powerful move... running away.
Li Rui might not be impressive in other aspects, but when it came to running away, no one could compare to him.
Old Monster and Lightning Leopard saw Li Rui run away, and they quickly followed suit.
The Demon Beasts initially thought that trying to seize the Dragon Fruit from the three of them might lead to a fierce battle, but when they saw the trio flee, they were left speechless. Were we really that terrifying? We just want the Dragon Fruit. All you have to do is hand over the Dragon Fruit, what's so troublesome about that...? Seeing the three run away, the Demon Beasts quickened their pace.
Li Rui hurriedly took advantage of the fact that these Demon Beasts had not yet fully formed a surrounding circle and started running. If he waited until they formed a complete encirclement, escaping would be impossible. As for what he had said earlier about killing them, it was now nothing but a joke. At this point, if he didn't manage to kill them, he would likely be taken down in an instant.
"What the hell is going on? Why are these Demon Beasts trying to snatch the Dragon Fruit from us? Is it theirs or something?" Li Rui asked while running, not daring to stop. If he paused now, he would surely be caught up with.
"Isn't it simple? You should consider that this Dragon Fruit is extremely rare and has such powerful functions that many Demon Beasts must be guarding it. The one we killed was probably the strongest in this area, wanting to monopolize the Dragon Fruit, so it didn't allow other Demon Beasts near it. But that doesn't mean these creatures will completely give up on this tempting Dragon Fruit! Once they see that Demon Beast is dead, they'll definitely rush to grab the Dragon Fruit. And since we've taken it, they'll naturally come after us," Old Monster replied while maintaining his speed, which only increased as he clearly didn't want to be killed by these Demon Beasts and have the Dragon Fruit taken away.
"What the hell! Why didn't you say that earlier?" Li Rui exclaimed angrily. If you had mentioned this sooner, I wouldn't have lingered around showing off.
"I just found out too! Besides, it was Lightning Leopard who first noticed these Demon Beasts."
"Alright, if you two have energy left, you might as well save it for running," Lightning Leopard said, fearing they would blame him for their predicament.
After running for a while, the three finally escaped a quickly forming encirclement but did not shake off the pursuing Demon Beasts.
Although they had broken free from one encirclement, it did not mean they were safe; they continued running without daring to rest.
The trio reached a deep abyss where suddenly many Demon Beasts appeared ahead, blocking their path. They quickly slammed on the brakes.
What the hell! How could we be so unlucky? We still haven't escaped the encirclement! Li Rui thought helplessly.
In fact, while Li Rui and his companions had managed to break free from one encirclement, at that moment, the remaining Demon Beasts quickly formed an even larger surrounding circle. Thus, they were trapped in two layers; even though they had broken through one layer, another layer still remained unbroken.
"Hey there! What’s going on? Why have you all been chasing us?" Li Rui asked hurriedly, pretending to know nothing.
"Kid, stop playing dumb. Hand over the Dragon Fruits on you right now, and we might leave your corpses intact," shouted a very large and imposing Demon Beast, likely a leader among the Land Beasts.
"That's right! Hurry up and hand them over; don't waste our time!" shouted another Demon Beast from above.
"Shit, it's over, it's really over this time. If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered with this Dragon Fruit," the Lightning Leopard shouted in despair.
When Li Rui saw that they all wanted the Dragon Fruit, he suddenly had an idea.
"If you want it, I can give it to you, but I only have this little bit of Dragon Fruit. I just don't know who to give it to!" Li Rui replied with a smile.
"Do we even need to ask? Of course, it's for me," the leader of the Land Beast quickly shouted.
"Shit, why should it be given to you? I was the one who chased it down first! This Dragon Fruit must be mine," the leader of the Sky Demon Beast said angrily when he saw that the other side wanted the Dragon Fruit.
"Damn it, without my help, do you think you could have caught up to it?"
"What? I was clearly the first one to chase it! What's your problem? Let's fight it out; whoever wins gets the Dragon Fruit." The leader of the Sky Demon Beast was furious and wanted to kill the other party to claim the Dragon Fruit for himself.
"Fine! Let's fight; I'll take you on."
As soon as he finished speaking, they charged at each other. Under Li Rui's instigation, both sides began to clash fiercely. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Rui and his companions quickly made their escape.
