Gu Ding Makes His Move

The young man who was called out had some idea about the attack pattern of the Universe Fruit Tree, but he was not sure about his guess, so he could only cautiously approach the Universe Fruit Tree.

Once he entered the Universe Fruit Tree's attack range, he became more vigilant, ready to flee at the slightest disturbance. However, to his surprise, the Universe Fruit Tree fell silent again. He calmed down slightly, quickly approached the Universe Fruit Tree, picked a fruit, and before the infant head could give the command to pick another fruit, he swiftly fled back.

He kept turning back as he fled, and found that the Universe Fruit Tree was indeed not pursuing him, which finally put his mind at ease.

He handed the fruit he had picked to Munster, feeling a little uneasy about whether Munster would let him leave.

The baby head in the middle nodded in satisfaction after receiving the fruit. "You can go now, next!"

Upon hearing this, the young man quickly leaped away and disappeared into the distance. The others all looked in the direction he had left with envy.

"They actually let him leave." Gu Ding hadn't expected that the guy named Munster would keep his word and let the young man go.

"The logic is actually quite simple. That baby is very clever. He deliberately let people leave, giving the remaining people hope of escaping alive, so they would willingly go and pick the fruit. If he had just gotten the fruit and then killed the young man who took it, he would definitely have provoked resistance from the other humans, because they would die anyway if they picked the fruit, so they might as well fight to the death. Those people would very likely rise up in resistance."

"Of course, with his strength, he's not worried about anyone resisting. He can suppress them all. What he's worried about is that if he kills all these humans, he'll have to send his own people to collect the fruit, which could potentially kill his own people. Compared to killing his own people, letting one or two insignificant human shrimps go is no big deal."

The Sea Emperor's explanation completely analyzed what was going on in the baby's mind.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ding immediately understood, "That baby is really cunning."

"I've said it before, although the Two-Headed Demon Race has a generally low IQ, there are some intelligent individuals who are no less brilliant than human geniuses," the Sea Emperor emphasized again.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the second person also cautiously flew towards the Universe Fruit Tree. After carefully picking a fruit, he quickly retreated, handed the fruit to Munster, and sped away.

At this point, many people realized something was amiss.

"It seems the first thing to do after picking the fruit is to escape as quickly as possible. We need to catch this giant off guard so it can't launch an effective attack. After all, it's so big, it might take it a while to sense that the fruit has been picked..." Cabensis muttered to himself.

His words reflected the thoughts of many others, but only a few knew that they were actually related to picking the second fruit.

After reaching this conclusion, Cabensis got up and prepared to fly towards the Universe Fruit Tree. But the baby head stopped him, saying, "Cabensis, you're not next."

"Does the order really matter?" Cabensis frowned.

"Of course it's important. Pick the last one. Because we don't know what will happen to the tree after we pick all the fruit, and you are the strongest among these Human Race Camp," the baby head said.

Cabensis frowned. He knew that leaving wouldn't be so easy. Firstly, he couldn't predict what would happen to the giant tree. Secondly, he remembered that those Munster had released were all weaklings with ordinary strength, posing no threat to the Two-Headed Demon Race. Even if he ultimately obtained the fruit, Monster might not let him leave. Because once he regained his freedom, he would be a significant threat to many members of the Two-Headed Demon Race.

Having thought of all this, he immediately began to consider a plan to escape.

One by one, the others, called upon by the baby's head, retrieved the Cosmic Fruit, handed them to Munster, and quickly fled the scene. No one was attacked by the Universe Fruit Tree while harvesting the fruit.

Five more Cosmic Fruit appeared in Munster's Storage Space.

Nine Cosmic Fruit: one in Gu Ding's hand, one each in Denise's and Heller's Storage Space, five in Munster's, and the last one hanging at the end of a branch, swaying gently.

The baby's head looked at Cabensis with ill intent. "Cabensis, it's your turn, the last fruit."

Cabensis had already made up his mind that as soon as he got the fruit, he would run to the other side of the giant tree. If the tree reacted, it might even help him stop Munster.

He glanced at Munster, said nothing, and sped towards the Universe Fruit Tree. He quickly arrived at the last jade-like fruit, picked it, and put it into his Storage Space. Then he suddenly rushed forward.

The Universe Fruit Tree remained unresponsive, its branches still drooping as if nothing had happened.

On the other side, as soon as Munster noticed Cabensis's movements, he leaped up and chased after Cabensis. At the same time, the infant head didn't forget to shout to the remaining Two-Headed Demon Race, "The rest of you, kill all those humans!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure had completely disappeared.

Upon hearing this, the Two-Headed Demon Race immediately surrounded all the remaining humans.

"The Three-Headed Monster isn't here, so we still have a chance to escape. Let's fight!" someone shouted from the crowd.

"You're asking for death!" A Two-Headed Demon Race, ten meters tall, transformed one of its arms into a long whip and lashed out at the young man's neck.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of the Two-Headed Demon Race, staring at him with cold eyes. "In my opinion, you are the ones who are courting death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two Black Radiance pierced through the two heads of the Two-Headed Demon Race, and its massive body collapsed with a crash.

At this moment, Gu Ding appeared.

The Human Race Camp were surprised to see a young man in a black and white striped prison uniform suddenly appear and instantly kill a Two-Headed Demon Race. They had only seen Gu Ding's back; they hadn't seen his face, and from his clothing, they couldn't determine who he was.

Gu Ding moved with lightning speed, his fingers, palms, fists, and claws flashing. Each time he passed a Two-Headed Demon Race, their brains splattered and they died. In just a second or two, over twenty two -Two-Headed Demon Race lay dead, their brains ruptured. The group of humans watched in horror, too afraid to move.

After slaughtering all the Two-Headed Demon Race, Gu Ding ignored them and simply collected the intelligent devices from their Two-Headed Demon Race. Then he turned and sped towards the Universe Fruit Tree.

Under the Universe Fruit Tree, he picked up the two Smart Watch.

The others didn't pick them up because even if they did, they wouldn't be able to retrieve the items from the storage space. However, with the Sea Emperor present, this wasn't a problem for Guding. At this point, Guding had obtained three Cosmic Fruits. Only then did he have the Sea Emperor locate Munster and Carbonsis, and they began to pursue them in the direction they had fled.

From beginning to end, none of the rescued people saw Gu Ding's face, because Gu Ding had his back to them the entire time. After being rescued, the group quickly dispersed, secretly wondering who the guy in the prison uniform was.

Among the crowd, one young man remained where he was, looking with a strange expression in the direction Gu Ding had just left. "Wearing prison clothes, he should be the same guy as last time. A powerful figure from the Gate of Purgatory; they seem to have a mission point in this Outer Domain Battlefield. It's said that Gu Ding was also imprisoned in the Gate of Purgatory. It seems to be a prison full of hidden talents. I just wonder who this guy is, that he didn't even bother to show his face before leaving."

Gu Ding chased after the two of them, and at his speed, he caught up with them in just a few minutes.

Cabensis was now entangled with Munster, the two less than fifty meters apart. Cabensis would occasionally swing his sword to attack behind him, trying to slow down Munster's pursuit. But in reality, it had little effect; the attacks were all shattered by Munster, who relentlessly pursued him.

Gu Ding moved swiftly and appeared directly in front of Cabensis, blocking his path.

"Get out of the way!" Cabensis's expression changed, and he swung his sword at Gu Ding.

Gu Ding raised his hand and pointed, a black beam of light shot out, directly shattering the fiery whirlwind created by Cabensis's longsword, and then striking the blade of the longsword.

Cabensis's hand was shattered by the impact, and his longsword nearly slipped from his grasp. He looked at the other person in horror, only to realize it was a familiar face. Thinking it was a hallucination, he asked hesitantly, "Gu... Gu Ding?"

As a top contender on the Black Iron Prodigy Ranking, Cabensis naturally recognized Gu Ding, who was ranked number one on the list, even though he didn't know if Gu Ding recognized him. Nevertheless, he immediately stopped in his tracks and ceased his escape.

Munster, who was chasing behind him, was slightly surprised to see another human appear not far from Cabensis. "You actually have an accomplice? But no one can save you today. You two will die together!"

As Cabensis reached out to block, three Black Radiance suddenly shot out from behind him, heading straight for the opponent's three heads.

Cabensis seemed to sense the danger as well, and quickly transformed his hands into shields to block.

But the two heavy shields shattered like fragile glass encountering a bullet, and the three Finger Force, without any hindrance, pierced through Munster's three heads to his utter astonishment.

The baby's head uttered two words, "So strong..."

In the next instant, all three heads splattered with brains, black blood splattered all over the ground, and Munster's massive body collapsed completely.
