Capítulo 1082: Chapter 264: Zhao Ya: Does This Count as Kissing Him?
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
A gust of foul-smelling wind rose from below, and within the layers of black mist, Chen Jie saw a pair of eyes as large as lanterns.
Scarlet, bloody, heart-stopping.
Seeing these scarlet eyes, cold sweat beaded on Chen Jie’s forehead. He knew there was something huge down there; if the eyes were as large as lanterns, how enormous must the body be!
As he was thinking this, he suddenly felt something below open its mouth, and a terrifying gust of wind swept up from below.
The horrifying suction pulled directly at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie was greatly startled, what a terrifying creature this was.
Just as these thoughts crossed his mind, something suddenly swept past Chen Jie’s face from above and fell into the black mist below.
Chen Jie glanced and saw it was a gigantic centipede.
Soon, more and more poisonous creatures began to fall like rain below, and Chen Jie was shocked.
He looked at the cave wall and found it was filled with various poisonous creatures. On the wall, Chen Jie saw centipedes, serpents, scorpions, spiders, and even bats.
Chen Jie was amazed by this cliff face, what a wonder.
This wasn’t just a cliff face; it was practically a breeding ground for toxic creatures.
Chen Jie clutched his spear tightly, struggling not to fall, resisting the intense suction, which soon subsided.
Chen Jie saw countless snakes, insects, rats, and ants being sucked down.
Chen Jie thought, the Gu God’s appetite below was quite enormous.
Would the Commandery Princess even remain intact?
Contemplating this, Chen Jie continued to climb downward; after all, he had come this far and definitely needed to see what was down there.
Descending along the cliff for about a hundred meters, Chen Jie noticed the air turning cold. Why was there such a chill?
Chen Jie did not understand but realized how the surrounding black mist might have formed, possibly due to the alternating hot and cold.
Just as he thought this, a light suddenly appeared before him, and he saw a tree with a fruit standing alone in the cold wind.
It appeared dazzling, adorned with brilliant colors.
Upon seeing this colorful fruit, Chen Jie’s eyes couldn’t look away, and a name floated into his mind: [Seven-colored Fruit]
Yes, it was indeed the Seven-colored Fruit.
One of the three main ingredients needed to refine into the Rainbow Realm, the Rainbow Pill. What Chen Jie desperately needed now was this [Seven-colored Fruit]
The Rainbow Pill required three main ingredients: Wolf Core, Kunlun Snow Lotus, and Seven-colored Fruit.
Wolf Core, discovered by Chen Jie within the giant wolf he defeated with the White Tiger in the Mist Forest.
Then, while raiding the hidden caches of the major sects with Ni Wenjun in Qianjiang Prefecture, he found Kunlun Snow Lotus with the Golden Fish Gang.
But the Seven-colored Fruit, elusive to find, was known to favor toxic environments, often growing in areas shrouded in poison.
Chen Jie looked around and saw that indeed, this place was full of toxic barriers.
He couldn’t help but think that this truly was a perfect place for the Seven-colored Fruit to thrive.
Chen Jie also remembered an ancient rhyme: jumping off cliffs often leads to adventures!
Indeed, wasn’t this adventure just waiting after a cliff dive?
Thinking this, Chen Jie began moving towards the Seven-colored Fruit, watching it hang from a branch, bountiful and full.
Chen Jie feared the fruit would suddenly ripen and fall into the abyss below, only to become a snack for the Gu God.
As Chen Jie climbed over, just as he approached the Seven-colored Fruit Tree, suddenly the tree moved and, with incredible speed, lunged at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie was startled.
He jumped aside and saw a massive chameleon.
Its body color matched the tree branches, with its head’s color blending with the cliff, making it nearly invisible.
Normally guarding the Seven-colored Fruit, it used it as bait to see if any creature would come to eat the fruit. If any other creature tried, it would ambush and kill it, using this strategy for feeding.
This time, it didn’t expect a hairless monkey to come along, and its ambush failed.
Chen Jie was also startled.
When the chameleon missed, it immediately adjusted its combat stance, and then, with a snap, a pink tongue shot towards Chen Jie.
Chen Jie jumped onto his spear, dodging the tongue attack.
Hiss, hiss…
The tongue, full of sticky liquid, adhered to the stone wall, making a teeth-gritting noise and emitting a white smoke.
Seeing this scene, Chen Jie squinted, not expecting the chameleon to have such powerful corrosiveness.
As Chen Jie thought about this, he saw the chameleon attacking once more, and Chen Jie dodged again, following up with a swift palm strike.
Roar…
A dragon’s roar sounded as the palm struck the chameleon, and the chameleon, sensing the attack, quickly scurried up the cliff.
It used its suction cup feet to climb the cliff rapidly, making it hard for Chen Jie to catch up.
Seeing this, Chen Jie decided not to pursue but instead went directly to the Seven-colored Fruit.
Just as he prepared to pick the fruit, a swishing sound caught his ear. Chen Jie waved his Autumn Cicada dagger, which instantly appeared in his hand. With a swift slash, he cut the incoming tongue in two.
