Chapter 26: Snake Eye Fruit

"Well, that blood-red fruit is what I call the snake's eye fruit!"

Just as Duan Chen was looking directly at the vegetation and wondering in his heart how it had survived from the sunlight, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape suddenly stretched out his front paws and pointed at the blood-red fruit in the middle of the vegetation and said.

"No, no—"

However, just as Duan Chen followed the words of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape and shifted his gaze to the Snake Eye Fruit, a cry of despair suddenly came out of his mouth.

Because at this time, in his mind, the snake's eye fruit, which was originally only the size of a grape, had suddenly transformed into a thousand-year-old python, and pounced on him with an unbeatable momentum.

Facing the hideous giant python with its bloody mouth wide open and its fangs showing, Duan Chen's heart suddenly had an almost desperate emotion spreading, and even in the end, he inexplicably gave birth to a thought in his heart, that is: Under the blood mouth of the giant python, it is impossible for anyone to survive.

It was precisely because of that almost suffocating despair that Duan Chen, who had always had a steady temperament, shouted out desperately.

"Don't be afraid, it's just your hallucination, calm, calm!"

Just when Duan Chen was almost out of breath from the huge despair, suddenly the cry of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape was like a bright light in the darkness, suddenly pulling him back from the edge of despair.

"Hmph, a plant that has absorbed the essence of snakes dares to pretend to be a ghost here, and don't break it for me!"

Although the scene just now almost made Duan Chen completely lost in it, his heart was far superior to ordinary people after all, so when the shout of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape came, Duan Chen was just stunned for a moment, and then suddenly punched towards the giant python that was biting.

"Poof!"

A muffled sound came out, and I saw that under Duan Chen's punch, the giant python that had just been invincible suddenly shattered from the inside like a huge foam.

The giant python disappeared, and everything in the cave returned to its previous appearance again, but I don't know if it was because he was still palpitating, Duan Chen's eyes looking at the snake eye fruit were obviously a little more cautious and cautious than before.

"Don't worry, now that you've come out of your hallucination, the soul dementoring ability of this snake eye fruit is no longer valid for you now. Looking at Duan Chen, who was full of caution in his eyes, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape said.

"What the hell happened just now, why did I have such an illusion?" Listening to the Blood Pupil Demon Ape's words, Duan Chen asked with a long sigh.

The next moment, with the Blood Pupil Demon Ape's explanation, Duan Chen understood the reason.

Snake eye fruit is a special existence that is not exactly vegetation, although it has characteristics that are common to all vegetation, but if you classify it as vegetation because of this, then you are afraid that you are very wrong.

Because during its growth, there is only one factor that can affect it, and that is snake essence.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as there is enough snake essence, then the snake eye fruit can grow anywhere, even if it is separated from the soil and water that other vegetation depends on to survive.

What made Duan Chen even more embarrassed was that according to the Blood Pupil Demon Ape's account, this fruit was not only completely detached from human understanding of plants in terms of growth mode, but the fact that it could continue to escalate made Duan Chen open his mouth in surprise.

Because according to what Duan Chen had seen in some books before, it was clearly recorded that the snake eye fruit belonged to the second-grade high-grade elixir, and this was officially the reason why he couldn't wait to rush in when he heard the Blood Pupil Demon Ape say that there was a snake eye fruit in this cave.

But now, right in front of his eyes, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape actually said that this snake eye fruit was an upgraded form, which really made him a little too unbelievable.

Then, when he said all the doubts in his heart, the next words of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape made his originally firm heart finally slowly shake.

According to what the Blood Pupil Demon Ape said, there was also a reason why the human ancestors would classify the snake eye fruit into the grade of a second-grade high-grade elixir. Because the snake's eye fruit is at this level in the early stage of formation.

While it is true that it can be slowly upgraded by collecting snake essences, it will definitely be an incomparably long process, and during this time, there must be two more requirements for the snake eye fruit to be successfully upgraded.

The first is that it must be protected from being discovered and eaten by humans or other strange beasts before it is upgraded, and the second is that during the hundreds or even thousands of years that it has been upgraded, there must be snakes in this area to provide it with enough essence, and these two conditions are indispensable.

It is conceivable that in the past thousand years, the odds of being able to meet these two conditions at the same time will be very small, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a miracle that one out of every 10,000 plants of snake eye fruit can meet such conditions.

And even if this strain miraculously completes the upgrade, who can guarantee that the first person to discover it must be a human and not a foreign beast, and who can guarantee that the person who found it will be able to recognize it as a snake's eye fruit and not be reinted by it?

Combining these factors, all the snake eye fruits discovered by human ancestors are almost at the grade of second-grade high-grade elixirs, so it is not surprising that they planned it to this grade.

After saying this, looking at Duan Chen, who still had a little doubt in his eyes, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape shook his head helplessly and said: "The reason why you human beings have only appeared a Qiankun Realm master for thousands of years may be because you have not been able to completely put aside the influence of your ancestors, think about the moment you were dementored just now, don't you feel that something is wrong?"

"Throw off the shackles of the ancestors and return to your true self?" Listening to the words of the Blood Pupil Demon Ape, a ray of essence suddenly flashed in Duan Chen's eyes, as if in the latter's words, he had comprehended some true meaning.

"But I can't blame you for not believing it, after all, there are too few snake eye fruits like this that can successfully advance!" Not noticing the change in Duan Chen's expression at all, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape sighed again after seeing that the latter had not responded for a long time.

"What would have happened if I hadn't been able to get rid of it just now, and what state had this upgraded snake eye fruit reached now?" But just as the Blood Pupil Demon Ape was about to completely abandon these topics, Duan Chen's curious voice suddenly came out.

Turning his head to look at Duan Chen, whose expression on his face suddenly changed from doubt to infinite curiosity, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape always felt that the latter seemed to be a completely different person compared to before, but what had changed, he couldn't say for a moment.

However, now that Duan Chen asked, the Blood Pupil Demon Ape also told everything truthfully without concealment.
