562 Entering the Underground Ruins Again (2/2)

Zhou Wen stared at the Longevity Tree for a long time as he thought to himself, Could this tree be waiting for Demonic Neonate to finish eating before dealing with her?

Zhou Wen stood far away and focused. If the Longevity Tree stirred, he would immediately summon Demonic Neonate back and escape.

It was a strange object, and it wasn't in-game. Zhou Wen didn't wish to take the risk to fight it.

However, nothing Zhou Wen imagined happened. Demonic Neonate jumped around on the tree and ate many Longevity Fruits, but the tree didn't react at all.

Demonic Neonate finished more than ten Longevity Fruits and was about to eat more, but she suddenly fell from the tree, giving Zhou Wen a fright.

He immediately summoned her back. Demonic Neonate transformed into a stream of light and returned to Zhou Wen. Zhou Wen felt that Demonic Neonate's tattoo was burning hot, like a piece of burning iron. It was so hot that Zhou Wen nearly cried out. All he could do was summon her out again.

When Demonic Neonate landed in front of Zhou Wen, the Longevity Tree in the distance didn't move. It made Zhou Wen heave a sigh of relief as he hurriedly checked Demonic Neonate's body.

Her face was flushed red, and there was even a hint of white air coming out of her body. It was like steam.

However, Demonic Neonate's aura was completely uniform, and she didn't appear to have a problem. Instead, her vital energy was constantly surging, as if she was about to advance.

Don't tell me she's about to advance to the Legendary stage? Zhou Wen felt that there was a high chance that he was right. However, he didn't know what changes would happen if this happened.

She already had a Life Providence, Life Soul, and Wheel of Destiny. If she advanced to the Legendary stage, he didn't know if she would condense a new Life Providence.

The white gas on Demonic Neonate increased in amount as it enveloped her body. Her temperature was shockingly high, so Zhou Wen could only watch from the side. He could do nothing.

If those Longevity Fruits really can make Demonic Neonate evolve, why don't I pluck them and keep them for her? Zhou Wen looked at the Longevity Tree as many thoughts flashed through his mind.

It was impossible for him to eat them himself, so in the past he had had no intention of doing anything to the Longevity Tree. However, since Demonic Neonate was willing to eat the fruits, he couldn't just sit around and do nothing.

After some thought, Zhou Wen summoned a Poison Bat, hoping to see if it could pluck the Longevity Fruit.

The Poison Bat flapped its wings and flew over. Before it could pluck the fruit, a tree root emerged from the ground. It wrapped around the Poison Bat's body like a flood dragon and pulled it into the ground. Then, nothing else happened.

From the looks of it, not anyone can pluck the fruits. Zhou Wen summoned some of his other Companion Beasts, but the outcome was the same. They were killed by the Longevity Tree the moment they approached. They couldn't even touch the tree, much less the Longevity Fruit.

Zhou Wen didn't wish to touch the Longevity Fruit himself, nor did he wish to take the risk with a Mythical pet. All he could do was wait for Demonic Neonate to complete her evolution. If there was nothing he could do, he would get Demonic Neonate to pluck the fruit herself and take everything away. It would be her food for the future.

After a while, the white gas on Demonic Neonate's body gradually dissipated, and her body temperature also gradually decreased. However, it didn't seem like her body had undergone any special changes. She was still tiny, and she was still hugging the ancient sword in her arms.

After Demonic Neonate had fully recovered, she stood up and looked in the direction of the Longevity Tree. However, she seemed to hesitate and did not go over immediately.

”If you can't eat anymore, why don't you pluck the fruits now and I'll help you keep them?” Zhou Wen suggested.
