Chapter 441 - Shen Yi Fruit (1/2)

That huge carrot had some fragrant little crimson fruits dangling from its top.

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er slowly moved toward it while meticulously observing their surroundings. They didn't dare to let their guards down; what they had seen happening in these Returning Ruins thus far was far beyond their imaginations. They couldn't help but tense their hearts in vigilance.

Zhong Yue scanned every inch of their surroundings with his divine third eye but spotted nothing odd at all.

The two of them reached to the side of the carrot, and Zhong Yue changed into the state of [Atman Body as One], growing to a height of 16 feet. He reached his hands out and grabbed the carrot's head, pulling it out with all his might Qiu Jin'er also put in some effort by pulling at one of the carrot's leaves.

The two of them were in the middle of trying to wrench it out when suddenly, a voice called out at them, "What are you doing!?"

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er were shocked, they quickly let go of the carrot, and by itself, the carrot lunged out from its little hole. Two pitch black, shiny eyes opened on the carrot's body and stared at them wrathfully, "I'm just trying to rest in peace! Why are the two of you pulling at my hair!?"

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er were both stunned, and they vacantly stared at the carrot with bewilderment.

The divine herb just came out from its own hole and spoke words. Moreover, it even had two thin arms and legs, making it look like a carrot man. It was utterly bizarre.

"This… brother, are you a celestial?" Zhong Yue did not know what to call the divine herb as he asked.

"Celestial? What celestial?" The carrot was puzzled as well. Suddenly, it quickly shook its head and shouted again, "Don't change the topic! I'm questioning you, why did you pull my hair!?"

Zhong Yue then realized that this ancient divine herb had developed sentience after living for such a long time!

But Qiu Jin'er was still asking, "If you are not a celestial, then are you a demon?"

The carrot's roots began to flutter out of anger. It glared at them and chided, "Don't keep trying to change the topic! We are talking about why you were pulling on my hair…"

Zhong Yue suddenly sprang to action. His arcane energy surged out and formed into 1000 tiny dragons that quickly pinned the carrot to the ground.

Zhong Yue was overjoyed at seeing his plan work, and he laughed, "This carrot can sustain us for many days…"

Bang, bang, bang, bang——

The carrot moved its body and broke the dragon shackles away like thin twigs. It laughed loudly, "How dare you? Why didn't you ask the others in the Returning Ruins as to who I am? Do you not know what I am capable of? Come, come, you want a fight? I will give you a fight! I hope you don't cry like a baby looking for your mother's help!!"

Hu——

The godly totem patterns around the carrot flew over and curled around its arms and fists. Without any warning, it lunged over and threw a punch that was so fierce that even Zhong Yue couldn't fully endure the strike. He raised his hand and met the incoming punch with a fist of his own. But as the fists clashed, the sounds of bone cracking clearly echoed out from within his arm. Zhong Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he thought, This divine herb, how incredibly strong is its strength?

The carrot then yelled out and launched another fist. While Zhong Yue let out a long whistle, two light rays - one bright and the other dark - flitted out from his eyes. The Yin and Yang Qi shot out toward the rabbit.

A series of blunt noises rang out as the carrot's godly totem patterns, and Zhong Yue's Yin and Ying Qi clashed with one another. Sparks flew about like festive fireworks.

The carrot continued raining down its fists at Zhong Yue in face-to-face frontal combat!

On the side, Qiu Jin'er was utterly dumbfounded. She watched as the muscular carrot fought head to head with Zhong Yue. The both of them exchanged countless strikes within a single second.

Strictly speaking, the carrot's prowess might not be as strong as Zhong Yue's, but the godly totem patterns around it were way too strong. No matter how strong or what kind of skills Zhong Yue used, the godly totem patterns were able to fend them off without fail.

Thankfully, this carrot doesn't know how to unleash the full potential of these godly totem pattern chains, or else, even senior martial brother won't be able to endure it... Qiu Jin'er said in her heart.

Suddenly, Zhong Yue opened his divine third eye, and a flash of godly ray struck at the carrot's godly totem pattern chains. A loud and shrill noise ravaged their ears, and although the godly totem patterns were able to ward down it down, the carrot was still struck off balance. It had to take a few steps back to unload the impact force.

Zhong Yue then seized the opportunity, and light wheels emerged behind him as his aura erupted. His attacks turned wild and ferocious while his strength grew exponentially stronger with every strike he made.

An additional six arms then extruded out from below his shoulders, elevating his attack rate to a level that was beyond what even the divine carrot could adequately defend against.

It took dozens of blows within a span of a few seconds before its endurance finally gave out. Seeing that even its fists were mashed away, the carrot immediately leaped back out of Zhong Yue's attack range. It then ran and escaped while shouting at him, "You wait and see! I will come after you another time, and I will bring my brothers with me!"

Just as it started running, Qiu Jin'er hastily dashed over and grabbed onto its leaves. She then dragged the muscular carrot back toward Zhong Yue.

"Please, spare my life!"

Abruptly, the carrot knelt on the ground in tears, "Please, don't eat me! I have parents to support and children to raise. Please spare my life. I don't want them to die of starvation."

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er were bewildered, and they looked at each other with perplexity on both their faces. Right at this moment, where they were momentarily frozen in confusion, the carrot suddenly swung Qiu Jin'er's hand away from its hair and shot out like a loose arrow. It ran away from the two humans as it taunted, "Ha-ha! Too easy, you rookies! Just you wait for me! My brothers will…"

But before it could even reach any appreciable distance away from them, Zhong Yue raised his hand up and clenched on the carrot's hair again.

Pu-tong!

Instantly, as he held onto the carrot leaves, it went straight down to the ground on its knees and cried, "Please, please! I beg you, I beg your pardon! Please don't eat me…"

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er were between laughter and tears. Zhong Yue then asked, "Xin Huo, by any chance, have you ever been in such a situation like this before?"
