Chapter 2772
“What kind of person do you think I am? I am Ning Cai Chen! Besides, the Heavenly Thunder Tree is laden with Heavenly Thunder Fruits—there are hundreds of them! Even if one of you gets a share, what difference does it make?”
Ning Cai Chen confidently patted his chest as he spoke!
He was aware that Shi Tieqiao hadn’t entered the Eagle King’s Cave, so he remained oblivious to the actual number of Heavenly Thunder Fruits on the tree!
That was precisely why Ning Cai Chen had made such a statement—to reassure Shi Tieqiao and his group that there was an abundance of Heavenly Thunder Fruits!
As soon as Shi Tieqiao heard about the plentiful Heavenly Thunder Fruits, he visibly relaxed and said, “Alright, let’s team up and eliminate these demonic beasts before we head in to collect the Heavenly Thunder Fruits…”
The two groups quickly came to an agreement, uniting their forces to charge at the demonic beasts!
Ning Cai Chen, alongside the fearsome Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagle of the eighth grade of the Harmonious Body realm, engaged in battle!
“Mr. Chen, what should we do?”
The Three Monstrous Thieves turned to Kai for guidance!
“We need to find a way to get closer to the cave entrance and take out all these demonic beasts. After that, the Ning family won’t have any reason to withhold the Heavenly Thunder Fruits from us,” Kai replied.
Kai aimed to use the ensuing chaos as a cover to stealthily approach the cave entrance and access the Heavenly Thunder Fruits!
When Ning Cai Chen mentioned that there were hundreds of Heavenly Thunder Fruits, Kai understood his intentions. He was certain that Ning Cai Chen would refuse to distribute any Heavenly Thunder Fruits!
After all, with only ten Heavenly Thunder Fruits, it would be impossible to share them among such a large group!
With his Dragon Chopper Sword in hand, Kai led the Three Monstrous Thieves towards the cave entrance, charging forward and cutting down foes along the way!
No one was paying attention to Kai and his companions!
As battles erupted throughout the forest, it became evident that the human cultivators were gaining the upper hand!
Ning Cai Chen fought valiantly against the Bloodthirsty Thunderhawk of the eighth rank of the Combined Body realm, struggling but not yet defeated!
Once the other demonic beasts were vanquished, they would find it much easier to confront this formidable Thunderhawk together!
Kai swung his sword relentlessly, dispatching several demonic beasts in his wake!
Upon nearing the cave entrance, Kai and the Three Monstrous Thieves charged inside!
Those who had previously entered the cave quickly made their way towards the Heavenly Thunder Tree!
However, just as Kai and the Three Monstrous Thieves stepped into the cave, they spotted two figures already present!
Kai concealed himself and observed closely, realizing the figures were Shi Tieqiao and an elderly woman!
These two had seized the opportunity to slip into the Eagle King’s Cave amid the chaos!
It appeared that Shi Tieqiao didn’t fully trust Ning Cai Chen, prompting him to sneak into the cave during the commotion!
“Damn it, Ning Cai Chen really deceived me! There are only ten Heavenly Thunder Fruits on the Heavenly Thunder Tree!”
Shi Tieqiao glared at the Heavenly Thunder Fruits on the tree, his brow furrowing in frustration!
“Old Shi, let’s take advantage of the chaos outside to gather the Heavenly Thunder Fruits and make our escape!”
“If the Patriarch finds out that we’ve pilfered the Heavenly Thunder Fruits, he certainly won’t pursue us for losing the Pterodactyl,” the old woman urged Shi Tieqiao.
“Alright, I’ll grab the Heavenly Thunder Fruit here…”
Shi Tieqiao nodded and leaped into action!
Suddenly, just as he reached for a Heavenly Thunder Fruit, a bolt of lightning shot down from the Heavenly Thunder Tree and struck him!
Shi Tieqiao was knocked to the ground with a heavy thud!
“Old Shi…”
The old woman rushed over to check on him!
At that moment, Shi Tieqiao’s face turned pale, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, indicating that the lightning strike had been quite severe!
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Gathering himself, Shi Tieqiao stood up, still coughing violently. His eyes widened in disbelief as he exclaimed, “Is this Heavenly Thunder Tree protected by a formation? How is there still thunder and lightning?”
“This Heavenly Lightning Tree was formed by being struck by lightning, absorbing its power. Therefore, the tree itself carries the lightning energy; there’s no need for a formation!”
At this moment, Kai emerged with the Three Monstrous Thieves!
“You again, kid?” Shi Tieqiao growled, his face twisting with anger as he spotted Kai and the Three Monstrous Thieves!
