Upon entering the lush oasis, it felt like stepping into paradise, eliciting smiles on nearly everyone’s faces as they ventured further.
Grace led the way, with Dustin closely following, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings. Despite the seemingly serene environment, hidden dangers lurked beneath the surface and within the trees, taking the form of poisonous creatures.
Though currently unseen in the daylight, as night fell, it would be their opportune moment to emerge and hunt.
“Hey, look over there! What’s that?”
The excitement in the voice of a Black Scorpion Squad member rang out, drawing everyone’s attention as he pointed ahead.
As they turned to look, they discovered three fruit trees nestled amidst dense vegetation. The tree branches were laden with vibrant red fruits that glistened like rubies in the sunlight.
“Are these revitalberries?” someone asked.
“Revitalberries? The ones that boost cultivation and extend life?”
“Wow! Look at all these revitalberries! We’ve hit the jackpot!”
The group couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement at the sight of those vibrant red fruits. Martial artists highly valued Revitalberries, considering them akin to rare treasures.
These berries contained spiritual energy comparable to eclipse spiritstones, enhancing physical strength and prolonging one’s lifespan.
In the martial world, these berries were considered priceless treasures and fetched high prices whenever they were available.
The sight of even one revitalberry was enough to be deemed precious, but seeing hundreds or thousands was truly exhilarating.
“Quick, pick those revitalberries!”
Garrett urged his team, prompting them to climb the trees. Their expedition’s main objective was to amass wealth, and harvesting these revitalberries was crucial to securing a lifetime fortune.
“If I were you, I’d be more cautious,” Dustin advised.
“What’s that supposed to mean? Are you trying to keep them all to yourself? “Garrett’s gaze hardened.
He perceived any interference with his pursuit of wealth as a serious transgression. Consequently, if Dustin intervened to obstruct their progress in harvesting the revitalberries, a clash was bound to occur.
“I’m just saying we should be cautious, “Dustin said calmly. He added, “This oasis probably attracts a lot of wildlife. If those fruits were really safe to eat, would they still be untouched?”
“Oh, quit trying to spook us. I’m pretty sure you just want them all to yourself! “Garrett scowled.
“Believe what you want.” Dustin decided not to push the argument any further.
“Let’s grab those fruits!” Garrett ordered. Seven or eight members of the Black Scorpion Squad quickly ditched their bulky equipment. They effortlessly climbed the fruit trees with impressive agility.
“We’ve hit the jackpot! This is our lucky break!”
The Black Scorpion Squad members were buzzing with excitement, eagerly harvesting revitalberries with one hand and clutching bags with the other.
The disciple from the Embersteel Order anxiously urged, “Jackson, if we don’t act soon, they’ll harvest every last revitalberry from these trees.”
“Go ahead.” Jackson hesitated briefly before giving the decisive command.
But as the disciples of the Embersteel Order prepared to pluck the fruits, an unforeseen incident happened.
