Ling Tian ranked second. If he kept it up, he would certainly secure a Ginseng Fruit Tree. Of course, barring any surprises, Chi Xue, Po Tian, and the others would deliberately step up their killing rate next, and might push Ling Tian out of the top three, top five, or even top ten. So he couldn't afford to be careless; he had to increase his killing rate.
As the second-ranked killer, Ling Tian was sure to obtain a Ginseng Fruit Tree if he maintained his position. Of course, unless something unexpected happened, Chi Xue, Po Tian, and the others would deliberately increase their hunting efficiency. They might even push Ling Tian out of the top three, top five, or even top ten. So he couldn't afford to be careless; he had to hunt more efficiently from now on.
As for Wu Ling, he ranked fifth, which was an awkward position. There were only two Phoenix Soul Fruit Trees. Barring any surprises, the people ahead of him—apart from Ling Tian—would choose the two Phoenix Soul Fruit Trees after picking a Ginseng Fruit Tree. That would leave Wu Ling with no chance to choose one, forcing him to settle for a Black Tortoise Fruit Tree. Though the Black Tortoise Fruit Tree was precious too, it was still far inferior to the Phoenix Soul Fruit Tree, so Wu Ling and the others wanted the latter more.
As for Wu Ling, he was ranked fifth, which put him in a rather awkward position. There were only two Phoenix Soul Fruit Trees, and unless something unexpected happened, everyone ranked ahead of him except Ling Tian would choose both of them after picking a Ginseng Fruit Tree. That would leave him no chance to get one, forcing him to settle for a Black Tortoise Fruit Tree.
