Chapter 2776
It seemed that the Heavenly Thunder Fruit was intricately linked to the cultivation of the Running Thunder Palm!
“Could it be that consuming this Heavenly Thunder Fruit would enhance the power of the Running Thunder Palm?”
Kai couldn’t help but ponder this thought secretly!
“Mr. Chen, are you okay?”
At that moment, Big Jay called out!
He noticed that Kai was completely still and feared something might have gone wrong!
“I’m fine!” Kai responded, tucking the Heavenly Thunder Fruit away and springing out of the deep pit in a single leap!
Shi Tieqiao and the old woman exchanged glances, their expressions revealing a mix of emotions!
“So, do you believe now that I can harvest the Heavenly Thunder Fruit on my own?”
“You two need to distract the Ning family members outside while I do my best to collect it. However, as you can see, there’s a cost to picking a Heavenly Thunder Fruit, so I can’t share it equally with you.”
“Out of a maximum of thirty-seven, I’ll take seven for myself and give you three…”
Kai declared to Shi Tieqiao and the old woman!
In truth, Kai had no intention of sharing even one fruit. He only made that claim to further convince Shi Tieqiao of his sincerity!
Moreover, Kai understood that he could never gather all ten Heavenly Thunder Fruits; not even with an imperishable golden body or immense physical strength would he be able to withstand the thunder and lightning that would come with picking them without being obliterated!
Shi Tieqiao glanced at Kai and then at the old woman, finally nodding in agreement. “Alright, we’ll take three, but you must hurry! We’re concerned we won’t be able to hold off Ning Cai Chen for long!”
Shi Tieqiao realized that their only option was to rely on deception to delay Ning Cai Chen, as they lacked the strength to withstand even a single blow!
But lies can only hold up for so long, which is why he urged Kai to act quickly!
“Don’t worry…”
Kai nodded in response!
Seeing this, Shi Tieqiao led the old woman toward the cave’s exit!
“Mr. Chen, do you really trust Shi Tieqiao? If you end up seriously injured trying to pick the Heavenly Thunder Fruit, he won’t hesitate to abandon you.”
Da Jie cautioned Kai!
Kai smirked and replied, “Why would I trust him? I won’t be giving him any of the Heavenly Thunder Fruit either.”
“You three should search for other exits in the cave. After all, there’s a saying that clever rabbits have three burrows. I refuse to believe there’s only one way out of the Thunder Eagle King’s cave!”
“As long as we find alternative exits, I’ll escape through one of them after I collect the Heavenly Thunder Fruit!”
When the three monstrous thieves heard Kai’s plan, they nodded and began their search for other exits!
Meanwhile, Kai took a deep breath and leapt towards the Heavenly Thunder Tree once again!
Outside the Eagle King’s Cave, the battle raged on!
The demonic beasts were fiercely fighting to prevent the cultivators from entering the cave!
Ning Cai Chen and the massive bloodthirsty thunder eagle were locked in a fierce struggle, and for the moment, neither side could claim victory!
Shi Tieqiao and the old woman exited the cave unnoticed and joined the fray!
This time, however, Shi Tieqiao and the old woman began to subtly spread the word!
They advised the cultivators he had brought from the dirigible not to exert all their strength and to conserve their energy to prevent the Ning family from seizing the Heavenly Thunder Fruit!
Since these individuals were originally brought by Shi Tieqiao, they took his advice to heart, easing off and conserving their strength!
Now, it was only the Ning family members left to battle the demonic beasts!
Seeing that he couldn’t defeat the enormous Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagle quickly, Ning Cai Chen shouted, “Elder Shi, please send two people to assist me! Let’s take down this Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagle of the eighth rank in the Harmony Realm together…”
“Master Ning, hang in there! We’re pinned down as well…”
Shi Tieqiao shouted back!
