Chapter 516: Of Greed
"Mr. Ye Bei, we are here on behalf of the Trial House and discuss something with you." After the seven people walked into the courtyard with a grin, they shouted loudly.
But in the next second, all the seven people were stunned.
"Boss, look, this big tree is so strange. Doesn't it look like the Star Tree recorded in our ancient text?" Among them, a black-robed man paused and pointed at the Star Tree in shock.
"The description is that it's full of silver fruits, in the darkness, those fruits will release a silver-white light, and the ripe fruits are like flames. According to legend, each adult star tree represents a universe! Each immature fruit is a star, and each ripe fruit is the sun..." Next to him, another black-robed man spoke with a pale complexion.
"Impossible. It is also said in ancient books that each Star Tree is the size of the universe. How big is this one? Isn't it only a hundred meters high? Except for these fruits, nothing else can explain anything at all."
The black-robed boss standing in the front immediately denied it after a little thought.
But even if he said this, his pupils still revealed endless jealousy.
Regardless of whether the tree in front of him was a Star Tree or not, its origin was absolutely terrifying... and beyond his cognition.
"Boss, look, there is a spring in the yard. The spring water flowing in it is so rich in a certain kind of energy. Isn't this the Energy Spring that the Lord Judge said?"
Before the black-robed boss could recover, another person next to me said it again.
After hearing this, the boss immediately focused his attention on the spring in the yard.
Around the spring eye was wrapped by the roots of the tree, the water flowing out of it was extremely clear.
And in this yard, a small stream was formed.
Ordinary people might not be able to see anything, but for this black-robed boss, he could it recognize at a glance.
Energy Spring!
The real Energy Spring!
He was fortunate enough to have seen one before, and that one was the property of the Lord Judge. He would never forget the breath of spring water.
These springs contained incomparably rich energy, could truly make a dying person become alive and kicking again, could easily turn a dying old man into a young appearance, could cure all kinds of diseases as well as cancers.
But now, someone actually let this Energy Spring flow on the ground like this, watering the trees.
When the seven black-robed men saw it, they felt their hearts dripping with blood and their flesh was in pain.
"This kind of act is simply a violent thing! However, it is also our luck that we can see it today. Starting today, I have accepted all the things here!"
The boss in black standing in front was breathing heavily as his eyes became extremely hot.
As long as he could get everything here, he had absolute self-confidence that he could become stronger in just a short time. At that time, he might be able to easily surpass the Judge and become a supreme being.
"Boss, look at that chair!"
"Boss, there is a wooden table in the yard, and the cup on it is unusual!"
"Unbelievable, boss, look, there is a medicine field in the yard. Every herb in it is a legendary existence, and every plant is a treasure!"
"This place is too rich, too unbelievable."
While the boss was dreaming, the six people behind him exclaimed again one after another. These people were like country bumpkins coming to a big city. They felt strange to see everything here. Their eyes were like revolving lanterns, turning around here and there quickly.
"You guys, have you seen enough?"
While those guys were daydreaming about their bright future, Ye Bei's voice floated over.
When they heard Ye Bei's voice, they suddenly came back to their senses.
...
"You are Ye Bei?"
The black-robed boss who took the lead turned around, looked at Ye Bei, and asked in a cold voice. At the same time, the corner of his eye scanned the surrounding things constantly.
The same went for the other six people.
"En, what's the matter?"
Ye Bei's complexion was calm, his eyes were deep, and even the slightest expression could not be seen on the surface.
Perhaps this indifferent appearance gave the black-robed boss great courage, the next second, he who took the lead, suddenly changed his complexion.
"Well! We are here to talk to you about something." His tone increased, "Originally, we were planning to convey some words from the Judge. But now, I suddenly changed my mind! Ye Bei, right? Why don't you and this woman immediately get out of this courtyard? I can promise not to hurt you! Otherwise, I don't mind letting you two see blood on the spot today! I broke your defense with a punch before, presumably you already know how strong I am, right?"
The black-robed boss raised his head slightly.
"Correct!"
"This place is ours now!"
You are not qualified to be here."
"Hurry up and scram away!"
"Hahaha, starting today, everything here has nothing to do with you."
Several other people spoke up one after another under the temptation of interest and greed. They did not notice that Pu Qingyin, who was not far away, looked at them as if she was looking at a group of idiots instead.
"How about it, Ye Bei? I believe that this choice is not difficult for you. We have seven people here, and you have only two. When I came here before, I tested a lot of people who got the chance, but they are half-dead now. Although your strength is very strong, I don't think you will be our opponent."
The black-robed boss continued to threaten Ye Bei.
"Since you can appreciate the things here, of course, you can go and get it as well." Ye Bei was not angry about this. He still said to them softly.
"You are very smart!"
"Yes, young man, you have a good future."
"I was a little worried before, but now, it seems that the rumors are simply not credible. No matter how I look at your appearance, you don't seem to be able to almost destroy Japan at all. That huge tsunami is absolutely a coincidence."
"For the sake of your sensibility, I will relay the words of the Judge by the way. He said, a new era is coming, although you, Ye Bei, are very powerful, you should not be his enemy or provoke him. What you want is also in his hands. But you must go to the Trial House to get it yourself, and whether you can get it depends on your own ability."
The black-robed boss standing in the front spoke.
After saying this, he directly moved his gaze away from Ye Bei, and walked towards the Star Tree in the courtyard.
From the first time he came into this courtyard, he was extremely interested in the Star Tree, especially the silver-white fruits that were full on it.
"I see." Ye Bei hummed lightly and stopped talking.
"You go take it."
However, when the black-robed man who took the lead stretched out his hand to pick the fruit, he suddenly felt something was not right. He immediately took his hand back and ordered the person next to him instead.
"Okay, boss!"
The other party did not realize that something was wrong at all.
"Hehehe, the fruit is definitely not an ordinary thing. When I pick it, I will eat it instantly. Maybe my strength will increase sharply. Then this courtyard will be mine!"
Not only did he not realize it, but when he stepped forward, he was still thinking carefully.
Then, the moment he touched the silver-white fruit, his face was stunned on the spot.
"What happened?"
"Why are you in a daze? Take it off quickly."
"What are you doing?"
"Argh…"
But the man didn't answer anything, his pupils shrank sharply, and the emotion of fear spread madly in his heart. A second later, he screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
Immediately after, in the presence of everyone on the scene, his body directly turned into silver-white powder, which was instantly absorbed by the entire tree as if he had never appeared before.
...
The remaining six men in black robes widened their eyes one by one, and they were stunned for a while.
This silence lasted for nearly half a minute.
"Ye Bei, what did you do to him?"
The boss turned his head abruptly to look at Ye Bei, the flames in his eyes were beating. He was obviously very angry.
"I can't feel his breath anymore; he seems to be dead…"
"This is too weird, right?"
"It must be Ye Bei who did it..."
Several other people also returned to their senses at this time. When they looked at Ye Bei again, their eyes were full of hostility and anger.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to burst out at any time.
"Ye Bei, did you do this?"
Ye Bei said nothing.
"Apart from fanning his fan, he did nothing unusual. This thing shouldn't have much to do with him. Maybe it's the tree that is making things wrong. The fruit above can swallow human essence and blood, and then nourish oneself..." Another man spoke thoughtfully as he took a deep look at Ye Bei.
He thought that even if Ye Bei didn't do this thing, it would definitely be inseparable from him.
After all, since this tree grew here, Ye Bei must know something about it, but there was no reminder just now.
"Ye Bei, it's best not to let me discover that it was your doings, otherwise, I don't mind completely destroying this yard and killing all the people outside." The boss in the front gritted his teeth and stared at Ye Bei fiercely.
With that, he continued to say to the other person, "Since there is a problem with this tree, don't worry about it for the time being, you can try that spirit spring, I allow you to take a sip."
"Yes, boss."
When the other man who was pointed at heard this, and his face was overjoyed. From the moment he entered the yard, he was very interested in the Energy Spring. Now that his boss agreed to let him drink it first, this was definitely a dream come true.
"Even if there is a problem, it is worth it. The gambling of a blessing or a curse will be decided today."
The man moved quickly in the direction of Energy Spring.
After looking at the Energy Spring constantly emerging from inside, the man's eyes lit up more and more.
As he bent over and his hand was about to come into contact with that Energy Spring, his heartbeat accelerated at this moment.
But when he made real contact with Energy Spring, a "shizz" sound came from the courtyard as if a piece of iron had been thrown into acid.
The man's body in front of Energy Spring was rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The breath of fear spread rapidly in other people's hearts…
