Chapter 2769
“You really shouldn’t go!” Ning Cai Chen exclaimed, shaking his head. He then gestured toward a servant from the Ning family, instructing, “You go and pick the Heavenly Thunder Fruit…”
“As you command…”
The Ning family servant, though terrified, felt compelled to obey. With a stiff demeanor, he cautiously approached the Heavenly Lightning Tree!
“Mr. Chen, what should we do now?”
Da Jie turned to Kai and suggested, “What if the three of us brothers use a spatial shuttle to grab a few Heavenly Thunder Fruits first?”
“Hold on, don’t act impulsively. Picking the Heavenly Thunder Fruit likely won’t be that simple,”
Kai cautioned, stopping the three monstrous thieves in their tracks.
Just as Kai finished speaking, they all watched in horror as the Ning family servant leaped straight toward the Heavenly Thunder Fruit hanging from the tree!
Boom …………
At that moment, a massive bolt of lightning struck the Ning family servant with a terrifying force!
With a deafening explosion, the servant was instantly obliterated by the lightning, leaving no trace behind!
Witnessing this, Ning Cai Chen’s expression darkened, and the others gasped in shock!
The Three Monstrous Thieves gulped, realizing that if Kai hadn’t intervened, they might have met the same fate!
“The Thunder Hawk King is truly cautious; it seems the Heavenly Thunder Fruit is not easily obtainable!”
Ning Cai Chen remarked with a frown.
“Dad, what’s our next move?” Ning Can asked.
“Don’t worry; I anticipated this situation and prepared in advance!”
As he spoke, Ning Cai Chen pulled out a bronze mirror from his robes. One side of the mirror was incredibly smooth, while the other boasted intricate carvings of fierce beasts.
“This is a treasured artifact of my Ning family, known as the Rui Beast Mirror. With it, any lightning strikes will be reflected and won’t pose any danger!”
Ning Cai Chen handed the Rui Beast Mirror to a Ning family servant, saying, “Take this and go pick the Heavenly Thunder Fruit!”
Despite his fear, the Ning family servant accepted the Rui Beast Mirror and cautiously made his way toward the Heavenly Lightning Tree!
His legs trembled as he approached the tree, gripping the mirror tightly.
Kai observed Ning Cai Chen, impressed by his thorough preparation, including a weapon to counter lightning!
The Ning family servant, now emboldened by the Rui Beast Mirror, leaped up and reached for the Heavenly Thunder Fruit!
Rumble …………
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning erupted from the Heavenly Thunder Tree, targeting the servant’s outstretched hand.
Reacting swiftly, the servant raised the Rui Beast Mirror, causing the lightning to strike it and be deflected away!
The reflected lightning crashed into the cave, causing it to tremble and rocks to tumble!
Seeing the mirror’s effectiveness, Ning Cai Chen shouted with excitement, “Quick! The lightning can no longer harm you! Hurry and grab the Heavenly Thunder Fruit!”
Encouraged by this, the Ning family servant reached out again to seize the Heavenly Thunder Fruit.
But just as he was about to grasp it, a powerful gust of wind knocked him off balance!
Then, a massive Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagle appeared before them, its enormous wings generating tremendous force with each flap!
“Is this… the Thunder Eagle King?”
The Three Monstrous Thieves exclaimed in shock!
Since they had never seen the Thunder Eagle King before, they assumed this enormous Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagle must be it!
“No, this can’t be the Thunder Eagle King. Its power isn’t at the Transmigration Realm; it’s likely only at the eighth grade of the Combined Body Realm!”
Kai assessed the Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagle in front of them and stated.
As Ning Cai Chen gazed at the Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagle, he felt a sense of relief; he recognized that this creature was not the Thunder Eagle King, alleviating his fears!
