The two figures and a tiger cub walked all the way towards the depths of the blood colored fog, until a strange tree appeared in the sight.
The tree was completely red, and upon observing it closely, Su Han realized it had black scales, each layering upon each other.
He had never seen such a tree, but that was far from all. He looked at the location the tree had grown, and saw the blood red soil.
"Is this place by chance formed from the remnant blood of some beast?" He questioned himself, but didn't dwell on this issue.
The reason was simple, he had no idea what a dragon elephant was to begin with.
He just saw seven blood red fruits hanging on the branches of the tree and each emiting enticing blood red light.
The fragrance from the air seemed to eminate from this fruits.
"Seems fragrant!" Wu Feng commented casually as he looked at the fruits with his mouth watering.
"Isn't it?" Su Han seconded this sentiment, but realized the fruit was not just emiting blood red light, but also absorbing the blood red mist in the sky.
It was clearly not something he understood, but he thought it was best to let the fruit complete whatever transformation it was going through first.
As time passed the fragrance from the fruits became more and more intense.
The sounds of stomach grumbling was clearly starting from the three.
The saliva dropping at this edge of the cub and deep concentration on the fruits by two humans was enough to show the strong desire burning inside them for the fruit.
Su Han was also starting to think it was strange that no creature in this mountain was gurding this treasure.
Indeed! It was abnormal for such a thing to not have any guardian, but then he attributed all this to the tiger cub's luck.
Based on the daily prediction, it was certain they got this fruits and even consumed them.
Thinking of this, he calmed down.
He then looked at the final transformation as the seven fruits produced a final radiance, before completely becoming ordinary. It was as if even the fragrance had been restrained and completely lost.
"Wu Feng! Gather the seven fruits and let's taste them!" He let Wu Feng collect them.
He was holding the tiger and cub and watching at the side.
After all the seven fruits had been picked by Wu Feng, the fog in the sky was also attracted towards the ground.
He didn't focus much on it, but looked eagerly at the fruits Wu Feng was holding.
Without wasting time, he collected four fruits from Wu Feng and kept three for himself, before putting one in the tiger Cub's face.
He didn't know if it was his imagination playing games on him, but he saw the eyes of the tiger cub light up with excitement.
Putting it on the ground, he turned to see Wu Feng was already wolfing down his second one.
Not to be left behind, he also took the first one and bit into it once. The second bite was the end of the fruit.
He had even to feel the mellow taste as he picked the second one.
By the time he grasped the third and put it in his mouth, Wu Feng was already done.
He put the final fruit in his mouth tasting it rather than rushing to consume, but his mouth wasn't obedient.
With nothing left on his hands, he wanted to take a step forward and look at the tree closely, but an intense pain erupted from all over his body.
He collapsed on the ground, started shaking intensely. Only the tiger wasn't affected the same way.
He just wanted to open his mouth and praise the test of the fruit, but felt an intense sensation like ants walking all over his body that was becoming more and more painful.
He rolled on the ground and grit his teeth, as his eyes turned bloodshot.
Even in pain, he felt some kind of pleasurable feeling hidden behind the pain he was feeling.
The next instant, the blood vessels all over the body seemed to be burning under intense heat.
In the process, blood seemed to be expelled from within his pores.
It wasn't a one time thing, rather the process happened repeatedly, as intensity of pain increased.
A strange sound like thunder kept erupting from within his body repeatedly.
Rumble!
With each of this thunder like sounds, his bones, internal organs and even blood vessels seemed to be undergoing tempering and strengthening.
A strange pressure kept forming within his body.
It was just that the pain all over his body finally vanished as though it was just a dream, but a strange heartbeat erupted from his body.
With every heart beat, a pulsing red light washed over his body.
It appeared as though a red light was pulsing from within his body and then enveloping his entire body.
His heart beat kept becoming stronger and stronger as a strange force grew steadily inside his body. It was fused with his blood and becoming inseparable.
The pulsing light from within his body eventually formed a blood cocoon around him.
The same time, a strange force seemed to revive from deep within his body and kept spreading all around the body before finally it seemed to vanish without a trace.
The next moment, he discovered to his dismay that a a strange blockade had appeared inside his body.
The moment he got in contact with it, a name appeared on his mind.
"Bottleneck!" This barrier seemed to be blocking his path forward.
He felt boundless power flowing inside him.
He extended his palm feeling a vast difference from before.
He opened his eyes and looked at the tiger cub, only to exclaim.
"F***" he shouted in a foul language after seeing the tiger about the size of a normal dog.
He was indeed right to be shocked as a speculation in his mind.
'Is that little tiger cub from before?' he still harboured some doubts, until he saw Wu Feng's state!
