Crazy Windfall! A Bountiful Harvest!

Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Chen Feng darted swiftly through the mountain range!

But as he continued onward!

A trace of confusion gradually appeared on Chen Feng's face!

The reason was simple!

He had already entered the Purple-Striped Black Bear's territory!

Yet despite the system's scans and detection, there was no sign of the Purple-Striped Black Bear!

What was going on?

Had the Purple-Striped Black Bear lost?

Had even its corpse been taken away by the intruder?

Could the Purple-Striped Black Bear's lair have been emptied by the intruder as well?

To clear up his doubts!

Chen Feng could not help quickening his pace!

A few minutes later.

Chen Feng arrived at the edge of a dense forest!

The next moment!

Chen Feng's pupils suddenly contracted!

Several hundred meters away in the forest, two enormous magical beasts lay sprawled on the ground!

On the left was a vicious bear over twenty meters long, covered in black fur, with streaks of purple Magic Runes across its chest!

It was a Ninth-Rank Magical Beast—the Purple-Striped Black Bear!

The Purple-Striped Black Bear was in a miserable state. There was a huge hole in its chest, its right paw had been severed, and blood covered the ground!

On the right was a giant python forty to fifty meters long, its body wrapped in rings of black markings!

If nothing unexpected had happened!

It should have been a Ninth-Rank Magical Beast—the Black-Ringed Giant Python!

The Black-Ringed Giant Python looked even worse. Bones protruded from all over its body, and its head had been smashed apart by an overwhelming force!

"This is..."

"Did they perish together?"

A moment later.

Chen Feng came back to his senses.

Looking at the corpses of the two Ninth-Rank Magical Beasts.

The corners of Chen Feng's lips lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Since the system's scans and detection could not detect these two Ninth-Rank Magical Beasts!

That meant these two Ninth-Rank Magical Beasts no longer showed any signs of life!

This delighted Chen Feng!

Two Ninth-Rank Magical Beasts meant two Ninth-Rank Magic Cores!

One Ninth-Rank Magic Core could be exchanged for one million Energy Points!

Two Ninth-Rank Magic Cores could be exchanged for two million Energy Points!

Besides that!

Chen Feng also spotted a lair over thirty meters tall not far away!

That should be the Purple-Striped Black Bear's lair!

As a Ninth-Rank Magical Beast!

The Purple-Striped Black Bear must have collected quite a few resources, right?

Now!

All those resources belonged to Chen Feng!

"Hahaha!"

"This really is a windfall from heaven!"

Chen Feng was in high spirits.

He immediately stepped forward and headed toward the corpses of the two Ninth-Rank Magical Beasts!

"Huh?"

"System!"

"What is that fruit on that tree?"

Suddenly.

Chen Feng came to a stop.

From the corner of his eye, he spotted an unusual fruit tree!

One had to know!

The two Ninth-Rank Magical Beasts had fought, only to perish together in the end!

Even without witnessing it firsthand, one could guess how fierce their battle had been!

The surrounding ground had shattered and turned into ruins!

Towering trees had either been broken apart or uprooted entirely!

Yet!

That fruit tree remained completely unharmed, and even the five fruits hanging from it had not fallen!

This strange sight immediately caught Chen Feng's attention!

"Host!"

"That is a Black Jade Shadow Fruit!"

"When consumed by a Darkness-attributed magical beast, it has a certain chance of breaking through its bottleneck!"

"When consumed by a human with a Darkness attribute, it can also increase their affinity for Darkness Elements!"

"..."

As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking.

The system's voice rang out in Chen Feng's mind.

"Darkness attribute?"

Hearing the system's answer.

Chen Feng froze slightly, then looked toward the two Ninth-Rank Magical Beasts!

The Purple-Striped Black Bear and the Black-Ringed Giant Python were both Ninth-Rank magical beasts with Darkness attributes!

So.

They had fought over the Black Jade Shadow Fruit?

That made sense!

According to the system's explanation!

The Black Jade Shadow Fruit could allow Darkness-attributed magical beasts to break through their bottlenecks!

Whether it was the Purple-Striped Black Bear or the Black-Ringed Giant Python!

As long as they ate a Black Jade Shadow Fruit!

They would have a certain chance of breaking through and becoming Saint Realm magical beasts!

For Ninth-Rank Magical Beasts, that was absolutely an irresistible temptation!

"However!"

"In the end, they both benefited me!"

"..."

After figuring out the truth.

The smile on Chen Feng's face grew even brighter.

He quickly arrived before the Purple-Striped Black Bear.

He swung the Thunder-Racing Sword in his hand and pried out the Purple-Striped Black Bear's Magic Core!

Then!

Chen Feng walked over to the Black-Ringed Giant Python and did the same!

As the two Ninth-Rank Magic Cores disappeared!

Chen Feng directly gained two million Energy Points!

Next!

Chen Feng set his sights on the Black Jade Shadow Fruits!

A heavenly treasure capable of allowing Ninth-Rank Magical Beasts to break through their bottlenecks should contain quite a bit of energy, right?

Before long!

Chen Feng picked all five Black Jade Shadow Fruits one by one!

"System!"

"Convert all five Black Jade Shadow Fruits into Energy Points!"

Chen Feng could not sense Darkness Elements!

Therefore, he naturally had no need for the Black Jade Shadow Fruits to improve his talent affinity!

Exchanging the Black Jade Shadow Fruits for Energy Points was undoubtedly the best choice!

"Ding~"

"Recycled one Black Jade Shadow Fruit (mature). Congratulations, Host, you have received two million Energy Points!"

"Recycled four Black Jade Shadow Fruits (immature). Congratulations, Host, you have received four million Energy Points!"

"..."

As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking.

The system's voice rang out once again.

"What?"

"The difference is that huge?"

Hearing the system's words.

Chen Feng's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

When picking the Black Jade Shadow Fruits!

Chen Feng had noticed that the five Black Jade Shadow Fruits were quite different!

One of the Black Jade Shadow Fruits was covered in black patterns!

The skins of the other four Black Jade Shadow Fruits were completely bare!

He had guessed that one fruit or four fruits had not yet fully matured!

However!

Chen Feng had not paid much attention to it!

With the Purple-Striped Black Bear's death!

The scent the Purple-Striped Black Bear had left in its territory would soon fade!

Once the nearby magical beasts discovered it, they would definitely come to fight over the Purple-Striped Black Bear's territory!

Under such circumstances!

Chen Feng could not possibly stay here forever!

In other words!

Chen Feng did not have much time to wait for the remaining fruits to ripen slowly!

He could only pick the unripe Black Jade Shadow Fruits and exchange them for Energy Points as well!

And now!

Chen Feng regretted it!

A mature Black Jade Shadow Fruit was worth as much as two million Energy Points when recycled!

An immature Black Jade Shadow Fruit, however, could only be exchanged for one million Energy Points!

In a sense!

Chen Feng had lost four million Energy Points!

This pained Chen Feng deeply!

"Phew... Phew..."

"What I gain is my fortune; what I lose is fate!"

"I haven't checked the Purple-Striped Black Bear's lair yet!"

"The resources in its lair will definitely give me a pleasant surprise!"

"..."

Chen Feng took several deep breaths.

He forced himself to calm down and stop thinking about the four million Energy Points he had lost!

After all!

The Energy Points he had gained now had been picked up for free!

Being able to obtain so many Energy Points already counted as a huge harvest!

Even if he had lost four million Energy Points, it could not truly be called a loss!

With that thought in mind!

Chen Feng slowly turned around and headed toward the Purple-Striped Black Bear's lair!
