The current Luo Feng was already vastly different from when he first arrived in the Ocean Survival world.
In the past, Luo Feng might have hesitated over the materials needed to craft a single Cloud-Piercing Arrow.
But now, these basic materials were nothing more than numbers to him—long since dismissed from his concerns.
The Dog-Headed Bees were met with Luo Feng's relentless barrage of arrows.
Tang Xuewei joined in with her Frost Bow, adding to the onslaught.
The corpses of countless Dog-Headed Bees began raining down.
However, the sheer number of these bees was staggering.
No matter how fast Luo Feng shot, he couldn't instantly kill hundreds of Dog-Headed Bees.
Some of the bees reached the Black Tortoise's protective shield, thrusting their venomous stingers toward it.
Yet, the shield remained completely unfazed by the feeble attacks of these low-level bees.
The Black Tortoise's advance continued unimpeded.
Soon, they arrived beside the Bewitching Fruits.
Luo Feng and Tang Xuewei ceased their attacks on the surrounding bees, shifting their focus to the fruits instead.
Luo Feng's hands moved swiftly, harvesting the Bewitching Fruits in a frenzy.
"Obtained Bewitching Fruit: +1"
Ten Thousand-Fold Reward:
"Obtained Epic Bewitching Fruit: +10,000"
"Obtained Epic Bewitching Fruit: +1"
Thousand-Fold Reward:
"Obtained Epic Bewitching Fruit: +1,000"
"Obtained Epic Bewitching Fruit: +1"
Hundred Thousand-Fold Reward:
"Obtained Epic Bewitching Fruit: +100,000"
...
Eight minutes later.
Every single Bewitching Fruit on the trees had been plucked clean by Luo Feng and his companions—not a single one remained.
Truthfully, there hadn't been many fruits on the trees to begin with—just a few hundred at most.
When Luo Feng checked the quantity of Bewitching Fruits in his possession, the sight nearly made his heart skip a beat.
Epic Bewitching Fruit × 3,141,592
Legendary Bewitching Fruit × 100,861
Mythic Bewitching Fruit × 1,024
A staggering three million Epic Bewitching Fruits—this was truly a windfall.
And there were over a thousand Mythic Bewitching Fruits.
At this moment, Luo Feng could only be described as wealthier than an entire nation.
If he wanted to establish a country, the resources in his hands would make it a trivial endeavor.
With time still on his side, Luo Feng decided to inspect the Mythic Bewitching Fruits.
As for the Epic and Legendary ones, there was no need—they came with significant side effects.
The Mythic Bewitching Fruits, however, had no such drawbacks.
Moreover, their effects were far more potent.
[Bewitching Fruit]
Grade: Mythic
Description: Consuming this fruit permanently enhances your spiritual power and lifespan. Additionally, there is a high chance of comprehending the skill [Bewitching].
Effects: Lifespan +30, Spiritual Power +10
Skill: Bewitching Skill
Limitation: Only the first consumption of the Bewitching Fruit grants permanent increases to lifespan and spiritual power. Subsequent consumptions provide only temporary boosts.
Upon reading the description of the Mythic Bewitching Fruit, Luo Feng couldn't help but feel a surge of astonishment. The effects were undeniably formidable.
Not only did it provide such substantial increases to lifespan and attributes, but it also offered the possibility of acquiring a skill.
This was almost too good to be true.
For others, eating one Soul-Bewitching Fruit without gaining any skills might mark the end.
But when it came to Luo Feng, was this really set in stone?
If Luo Feng didn't gain a skill from one Soul-Bewitching Fruit, it didn't matter—he could eat a few more.
Surely, he wouldn't fail to learn a skill even after consuming a thousand of them?
He just hoped the odds weren't rigged like those designed by that gaming company.
Otherwise, Luo Feng might actually have a 100% guarantee of failure.
After all, his Luck Value was only 9—a certified non-lucky player.
In the past, he had never won any skins or heroes from draws.
Once, he even spent more gold trying to roll for a hero than it would have cost to buy it outright.
From then on, Luo Feng swore off treasure chests entirely.
The pain of being unlucky was something ordinary people could never truly understand.
Shaking off these thoughts, Luo Feng wasted no more time and took out a Soul-Bewitching Fruit to eat.
He also handed some to Tang Xuewei and the Merfolk Queen.
Meanwhile, on the ground, the Waspdog King—now transformed into a dog—gazed sorrowfully at the bare Bewitching Tree.
These fruits were crucial food sources for the Dog-Headed Bees.
Some of the medicinal components in their venom even relied on the Soul-Bewitching Fruits.
Now, Luo Feng had taken every last one.
The potency of their Poison Needle attacks would plummet.
The Waspdog King desperately wanted to attack Luo Feng and his group.
But in its current form—completely turned into a dog—it couldn't even climb the tree.
Forget the fact that getting a dog to climb a tree was already a challenge.
Originally, the Waspdog King relied on its wings and insect legs for movement.
Now, it had to walk on four dog paws—something it hadn't yet adapted to.
Luo Feng checked the time and realized they were nearing the ten-minute mark.
The two level 5 monsters only remained transformed for that long.
It was almost time for them to leave.
As for why Luo Feng didn't take the chance to kill them?
First, taking down two level 5 monsters still posed some difficulty.
Second, killing them wouldn't benefit Luo Feng in any way.
His goal here had been the Soul-Bewitching Fruits, and now that he had them, there was no reason to linger.
There was also something more important.
The Bewitching Trees remained untouched—neither destroyed nor taken by Luo Feng.
It wasn't that he didn't want to take them.
But these trees could only grow under the unique conditions of Mist Island.
Unless Luo Feng could somehow store the entire island in his Dimensional Storage, uprooting the trees would be pointless—they wouldn't survive elsewhere.
Would he ever see the day when that was possible?
For now, he had no choice but to leave the trees here, waiting for them to bear fruit again so he could return for another harvest.
Since that was his plan, there was no need to wipe out the Dog-Headed Bees.
Let them continue guarding the Bewitching Trees.
With that settled, Luo Feng didn't hesitate any longer.
"Let's go," he said. "We're heading to the Verdant Grassland in the Green Mist Zone."
"I wonder if we'll meet some familiar faces there?"
"Hopefully, not too much has changed."
Hearing Luo Feng say this, Tang Xuewei also became very curious about the Verdant Grassland.
She wondered if they might encounter some very interesting things there? Or perhaps some very fascinating creatures?
Thus, the Black Tortoise began carrying them through the air on its back.
At this moment, Luo Feng couldn't help but wonder—once they entered the Verdant Grassland, what would the Sheep Clan look like?
