Chapter 300: Tree in the Water

The two searched for another two or three hours, but did not find any more attribute fruit trees.

Just when I was feeling depressed, I noticed that the colorful gladiolus in front of me had become much less and I could vaguely see shimmering water.

"There is a water source ahead!" The two men looked at each other, walked over carefully, and found a small lake.

What surprised them was that several other mutants, including Ximen Jianke, were actually standing by the lake, looking up at the lake, and no one knew what they were looking at.

Seeing Tianxin and the others coming, one of the celestial beings named Chixiong took the initiative to greet Tianxin.

The named celestial beings in the Chi family are all relatively low-level members. They are not qualified to rank at all, so they can only give themselves a name.

Only those high-ranking ones can have names with numerical rankings. For ordinary celestial beings with the surname Chi, numbers are not allowed to appear in their names.

"Chixiong, what's going on here?" Tianxin went over to talk to Chixiong, and Lin Shen stood beside them.

"There is a gladiolus in the middle of the lake." Chixiong said.

Lin Shen and Tian Xin both saw the gladiolus growing in the middle of the lake. The gladiolus was much larger than any they had seen before. The part that was exposed above the water alone was hundreds of meters long, and it was unknown how long it was underwater.

The point that Chixiong was talking about was obviously not the water gladiolus. The two of them looked at it carefully for a while and soon discovered that there was a fruit tree growing in the center of the gladiolus leaves.

The part of the attribute fruit tree that is exposed above the water is three or four meters high, and there are at least hundreds of colorful attribute fruits hanging on it.

Because it is in the central position of the gladiolus, most of the attribute fruit trees are blocked by the huge leaves of the gladiolus, and can only be seen in some special positions.

"Is that an attribute fruit?" Tian Xin looked at Lin Shen while speaking.

"It must be an attribute fruit. What else could it be besides an attribute fruit?" Chixiong thought Tianxin was asking him, and answered casually.

Lin Shen nodded slightly, that thing was indeed an attribute fruit.

"Why didn't you go to get it?" Tian Xin asked with some confusion.

Although flying is taboo on Mount Targon, it is not impossible to fly. It is just because flying can easily attract creatures from other places in Mount Targon, so flying is generally not an option when going up or down the mountain.

There are no other creatures here, so it shouldn't be a big problem to just fly low to pick those attribute fruits.

"You can't fly. It seems that there is a flying ban above the lake. If you enter the lake, you will fall into the lake." Another celestial being, Chiba, said.

"Is there something strange in the lake?" Tian Xin immediately looked towards the lake. If it was an ordinary lake, they should have swam across it long ago.

But Tian Xin looked carefully for a long time and didn't find anything in the water.

Chi Xiong nodded and said, "There are some transparent, thread-like creatures in the water. If you don't look carefully, you can hardly see them. But once you fall into the water, those creatures will entangle you, which is very troublesome."

After hearing what Chixiong said, Tianxin looked carefully into the lake again, but still could not see the transparent, thin thread-like creatures they described.

"No need to look. If we could see it, we wouldn't have suffered the loss just now." Chixiong recounted the loss they had suffered when they first arrived.

Fortunately, it was only Chi Xiong who flew above the lake. After falling into the water, he was entangled by those transparent filament-like creatures and could not move. Chi Ba rescued him on the shore and pulled him up.

According to the two brothers, those transparent filament creatures should be crystal-based creatures, but after cutting off the filament creatures, there was no killing prompt on the watch. "No wonder you are all watching here and not taking the attribute fruit." Tianxin also felt a headache after hearing this.

Celestial beings are generally not good at fighting in water. Although Tianxin knows the nature of water, he is not very good at it either.

Otherwise, when he was on King Kai's planet, he wouldn't have gotten himself into such a mess when he killed a mutant creature in the sea.

It is impossible to fly over, and there are countless transparent filamentous organisms in the water, so it is really not easy to pick the fruits.

"Can't you walk on the water and go across the surface?" Lin Shen, who was standing by, asked after hearing this.

Chixiong and Chiba obviously don't think much of humans and are not as polite to Tianxin as they are.

Chi Xiong snorted coldly: "If you have the ability to walk on the water to pick the fruits, go ahead and pick them. We won't compete with you for it."

"If you can walk across the water, do you think we will just stand here and watch?" Chiba also said.

Lin Shen did not get angry with them. He was very tolerant now and said in a gentle voice, "Why can't we walk on the water? With your speed, it shouldn't be difficult to walk on the water, right?"

"Didn't I tell you just now that there's something wrong with this lake? You can't even fly over it, let alone walk on the water. You will be pulled directly into the water by a strange force. If you don't believe it, go and try it yourself." Chi Xiong said.

Apparently they should have tested it with pets, and trying to walk across the water didn't work.

Lin Shen looked at Ximen Jianke and An Xingren who were not far away. Because of the same problem, they did not dare to go into the water to pick the fruits and could only think of a way on the shore.

Ximen Jianke got a long rope from somewhere and tied a crystal-based spear to the tip of the rope.

He simply used the spear as a javelin and threw it over, trying to get it stuck between the leaves of the gladiolus, and then use the force of the rope to rush over.

Unfortunately, the spear didn't go far before it was sucked in by some force and plunged into the lake.

Densely packed transparent filaments immediately appeared in the lake, like transparent fishing lines, which entangled the spear in the air and pulled the spear that fell into the water to a deeper place, sinking to the bottom and disappearing in an instant.

The rope tied on top also broke where it touched the water, so this method still didn't work.

For a moment, everyone was at a loss as they could only watch so many attribute fruits.

Lin Shen watched Ximen Jianke's operation and felt something in his heart.

"I see those transparent filaments, and it seems that they can't break out of the water?" Lin Shen said, staring at the water surface.

"Those transparent filaments indeed cannot leave the water, but you also saw that nothing can pass through the water surface. They will definitely be pulled into the water. Whether they can break out of the water or not, the result will be the same." Chi Xiong said.

"If that's the case, I can give it a try." Lin Shen said to himself.

He has the skill of floating on water. Although Lin Shen thought that this fire skill was useless at first, he thought about it carefully later and found that this skill was still useful.

For example, in this lake, others cannot fly over and will be sucked into the water.

Like the Seven-Step Weapon Technique, the Light Kung Fu Floating on Water is a regular skill. As long as his speed reaches the standard of the Light Kung Fu Floating on Water, he can walk on the water, and no matter how strong the force is, he cannot be pulled down.
