Despite all that commotion, the pool remained perfectly still.
Chen Lin figured there probably weren't any other monster beasts in it.
He cast a Vajra Cover, used the Wind-Walking Art to float into the air, and cautiously reached for the fruit.
The connection between the fruit and the branch was extremely tough. He had to cut it with his flying sword.
Still, the process went smoothly.
He found a box, packed the fruit inside, and put it into his Storage Bag. Then he turned his gaze back to the branch.
