"What is this?" Wang Jing was very surprised, looking at the small, crystal-like particles in Chu Feng's hand, momentarily at a loss for words.
"Could this be an exotic fruit?" In comparison, Chu Zhiyuan was relatively calm, though he had never encountered such a thing, he immediately thought of it.
"Yes, this is an exotic fruit!" Chu Feng admitted frankly.
When they heard his affirmative response, both Wang Jing and Chu Zhiyuan were stunned, unable to maintain their composure, their hearts filled with shock.
They knew all too well how valuable this thing was.
Shuntian, the center of the north and one of the largest cities in the country, had a few top-tier stores that sold a small number of exotic fruits, with prices so high they were terrifying.
It was said that the lowest quality exotic fruit cost eight million Earth coins, which converted to forty million Jiu Zhou coins!
Now, their son Chu Feng had brought back such a thing, how could they not be shocked?!
"Xiaofeng... where did you get this?" Wang Jing's voice was unnatural.
"I brought it back from the Taihang Mountains." Chu Feng said calmly, spreading his palm to let them see more clearly.
In his palm were twelve pine seeds, each one purple and shiny like a diamond, sparkling and emitting a fragrant aroma.
Just looking at them made one feel they were extraordinary, not like ordinary nuts but more like works of art, their brilliance and luster very captivating.
"Purple-golden pine seeds, could they be the seeds from that small tree in the Taihang Mountains?" Chu Zhiyuan quickly regained his composure and made an accurate judgment.
"That's right, they are the fruits from that pine tree!" Chu Feng informed them.
"Heaven, I've heard that a white snake has been guarding it, and many extraordinary people have gone to fight for it, with countless deaths. You... actually brought some back."
Wang Jing was very shocked, the more she understood, the more afraid she became, quickly pulling Chu Feng to check if he had any old injuries.
It had been almost a month since the battle in the Taihang Mountains, which was still frequently mentioned, with thousands of extraordinary people dying, shocking the world.
"Mom, don't worry, I'm fine, I don't have a single injury!" Chu Feng reassured her.
"This fruit is not ordinary, its value cannot be measured." Chu Zhiyuan said, fully aware of what it meant.
Even the fruits from grass were already worth a fortune, starting from forty million Jiu Zhou coins.
The seeds from the strange pine tree were unimaginable, no one would sell them, and even a rumor about them would cause a sensation, making them priceless!
Because, they could create experts.
"These are not complete pine cones, just a part of the seeds, but they are enough for you and Dad." Chu Feng said.
The small tree discovered by Jin Gang and others produced a single fruit, while the pine tree in the Taihang Mountains produced a large number of seeds, allowing multiple people to evolve.
These dispersed seeds, while capable of creating multiple experts, were not as powerful as those from Jin Gang and others.
Generally, consuming four to five seeds was enough, and more would not further enhance one's physical condition.
There was no way around it, the purple-golden seeds had this effect, seemingly aimed at evolving a group rather than pushing an individual to the peak.
Even so, a few seeds combined were far superior to the mysterious fruits from grass.
"Xiaofeng, a lot must have happened to you. Tell me, are you now more powerful than ordinary extraordinary people?" Chu Zhiyuan thought of many things and asked his son.
"Yes!" Chu Feng gave a firm answer, reassuring his parents that even if the outside world was very dangerous, he was capable of handling it!
"I'm relieved. I was probably deliberately hit today, there might be something going on. But I was afraid you would act impulsively and rashly, so I kept it from you." Chu Zhiyuan said.
Last time, an extraordinary person tried to attack them, and this time he sensed something was wrong, feeling uneasy.
Now, Chu Zhiyuan was slightly more at ease.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry about this, and don't be afraid. I will handle it." Chu Feng reassured them.
However, a wave of anger rose in his heart. This was not an accident, as his father had confirmed, someone had deliberately tried to kill him.
Chu Feng was indignant, this was not the first time, and people had repeatedly tried to harm his parents, which was unforgivable, he was determined to root out those people!
It was so dangerous, yet his father had kept it a secret, fearing he would act rashly and get hurt.
This made Chu Feng feel uncomfortable and guilty, as those people were originally targeting him.
"That person is too despicable!" Wang Jing was very angry.
"Do you still need these seeds to enhance your physical condition?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.
"I no longer need them." Chu Feng informed them.
"Good, let's eat these seeds." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
Chu Feng suppressed his anger, remaining calm in front of his parents, not wanting them to worry, and even joked, "Dad, didn't you say extraordinary people should be called demon people? I feel you and Mom are a bit repulsed, why are you suddenly so eager?"
"At that time, we didn't have a chance to get exotic fruits, it was a way to comfort ourselves." Chu Zhiyuan laughed, not feeling embarrassed at all, a trait he shared with his son.
"In this world, there will inevitably be great chaos in the future. To live well, one must have enough strength to protect oneself." Chu Zhiyuan was very serious, "What choice is there? Even if eating the exotic fruit makes us grow horns and scales, we must eat it!"
"Will we really grow horns?" Wang Jing's face turned pale, after all, she was a woman, even though her youth had passed, she still cared about her appearance.
"Don't worry, I won't mind." Chu Zhiyuan laughed.
"I mind!" Wang Jing glared at him.
The two had a good relationship, always like this.
Chu Feng chuckled, forcefully cracking open the twelve purple diamond-like seeds, urging them to eat quickly.
Chu Zhiyuan didn't hesitate, picking up six seeds and putting them in his mouth, saying, "They taste really good!"
He was very decisive, quickly swallowing them, a trait similar to Chu Feng, who acted immediately after making a decision.
"Mom, eat, it's fine!" Chu Feng urged.
Wang Jing gritted her teeth, putting six seeds in her mouth, closing her eyes, as if going to an execution, she was really afraid of growing horns after eating them.
She suddenly said these two words because the purple-golden seeds indeed tasted exquisite, far surpassing ordinary pine seeds.
"Hmm, no strange changes?" Wang Jing waited for a long time, but felt no changes.
"Transformation takes time, different people have different reactions. Some feel pain, some feel sleepy, some feel hot, but don't worry, it's all fine." Chu Feng reminded.
In fact, he was also looking forward to it, wanting to see what changes his parents would undergo, what kind of mysterious factors were in their bodies.
Half an hour passed, and the two felt no discomfort.
"I think after a good night's sleep, everything will be different tomorrow." Chu Feng said, very relaxed.
Suddenly, someone rang the doorbell.
Chu Feng's eyes showed a sharp light, he gestured for his mother to open the door, while he stood up and temporarily went to his room.
"What's wrong, Xiaofeng?"
"Don't worry, just deal with it normally." Chu Feng said, sensing something strange about the person outside.
"Shuntian Express!" After the door was opened, a young man handed over a package.
"Oh, it's the clothes I bought online." Wang Jing let out a sigh of relief.
However, the delivery person walked in directly, closing the door behind him.
"You... what do you want?!" Wang Jing was on guard, quickly retreating.
"Nothing, I heard someone in your family injured their waist, I came to check." The Shuntian Express delivery person walked into the bedroom where Chu Zhiyuan was resting, acting very naturally, almost arrogantly, treating the place as his own, completely ignoring Wang Jing and Chu Zhiyuan's feelings.
He sat down casually, saying, "How bad is the injury? I don't think your waist is broken, right?"
Wang Jing was very angry, this person was too despicable.
Chu Zhiyuan gestured for her to remain silent.
"Who are you, how do you know I was injured, and what do you want here?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.
He knew this was also what Chu Feng wanted to know.
Wang Jing, though very angry, remained silent.
This delivery person looked ordinary, with no obvious characteristics of an extraordinary person, except for his eyes, which occasionally glowed blue, quite frightening.
"Looks like you're not seriously injured. I originally planned for you to be run over by a car, with both legs broken and multiple fractures, but not to the point of death. It's a pity, it didn't work as intended."
This person spoke with a tone of regret, but acted very casually.
"How can you be so evil, almost killing our old Chu, and still dare to come to our house? Who are you, what do you want?" Wang Jing questioned him, very indignant, this person was too evil, doing such a thing and still daring to come and provoke, truly hateful.
But she restrained herself, trying to get more information about who he was.
"That person is taller and stronger than you, it's not you." Wang Jing frowned, realizing something was off.
"It's all me, just in a different body." This person sat there, crossing his legs, very relaxed, and even poured himself a cup of tea to drink.
"What do you mean?" Chu Zhiyuan frowned.
"Having such incredible abilities but always working in the dark makes me very uncomfortable. It's like wearing fine clothes at night." He shook his head and sighed.
"Someone like you, talking about having incredible abilities, I don't even look at you!" Wang Jing sneered.
This person coldly snorted, clearly dissatisfied, he had extraordinary abilities, but no one knew, and he seemed to have a desire to vent.
"I am a god to you!" He said, his eyes glowing blue.
Then, a blurry blue light separated from his body, floating in the room, about the size of a fist.
"Where am I?" The delivery person opened his eyes, confused.
But soon, he closed his mouth again, as the blue light returned to his body.
"You..." Wang Jing was greatly startled.
"You are a spirit, can you possess other people's bodies?" Chu Zhiyuan was very surprised.
"Exactly, you guessed right. I have a powerful mental field, can leave my body, and control others. This is the unique and terrifying ability I gained after eating the exotic fruit."
This person said lazily, sitting there, completely at ease, not taking Wang Jing and Chu Zhiyuan seriously.
"You have offended people you shouldn't have, and I was hired to act. There will be no trace left, and you will always have accidents."
"For example, even if your legs were crushed by a car today, leaving you in a wheelchair for life, no one would be able to find out. The person I controlled would be deeply hypnotized, and after the incident, he would only think he accidentally hit you, causing you to fall in front of the oncoming car."
This person spoke with a smile.
"How can you be so evil?" Wang Jing hated and feared this person.
"Evil? Too early to say. I came tonight to see how to make you have an accident. Hmm, it could be a gas leak, causing an explosion and fire, leading to serious injuries. Or, one of you could slip in the bathroom and break a bone. You choose."
He was very relaxed, smiling, giving them options for serious injuries.
In another room, Chu Feng's eyes were cold, he suppressed his body's energy, listening coldly, this person was truly evil, he wanted to kill him immediately.
"You don't kill us, just torture us, aren't you afraid of leaking information?" Wang Jing asked.
"I will deeply hypnotize you, you will forget all this, it will all be an accident. Sigh, I did it, but I have to erase the traces, it's really uncomfortable, I can only vent before acting." He was somewhat dissatisfied.
It was clear that because of his great power, but not being able to show it, he had this desire to vent.
"Who hired you to target us?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.
"Fine, I'll satisfy you. Actually, I would have told you anyway, it's my style, but I would make you forget. A woman from Nanning City hired me, you can't afford to offend her! Now, choose how to get seriously injured."
He stood up, his eyes glowing blue.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, her main target is your son, he will die!" He added.
A blue light separated from his body, the spirit floating out, ready to act.
Suddenly, a闷雷 (thunder) sounded in the room, the blue light screamed in agony, half of it exploding.
Chu Feng walked in, using the Bull Demon Roar to attack the spirit.
During the battle in the Taihang Mountains, Mu's subordinates, after consuming special drugs, had intense mental fluctuations and were all killed by Chu Feng's roar.
One can imagine how terrifying the Bull Demon Roar was!
Recently, Chu Feng had rapidly evolved, his strength greatly increased, making him even more formidable.
This attack was selectively targeted at the blue light, very effective.
"Ahh..." After half of the blue light was extinguished, it rushed back into the delivery person's body, fleeing in a frenzy.
"Xiaofeng!" Wang Jing called out, somewhat afraid.
"Mom, Dad, don't worry, I'll be back soon." Chu Feng followed the person out of the house, he was actually very surprised.
This person could actually separate his spirit from his body, truly bizarre, and his spirit was indeed very powerful. Under such a terrifying Bull Demon Roar, at such close range, without the support and protection of a physical body, only half of it was shattered, showing how strong this person was.
However, seeing that he needed to use a physical body to open the door and could not escape through walls, Chu Feng was reassured, not fearing he would escape.
Chu Feng followed at a leisurely pace, determined to kill the person's physical body!
It can be imagined that leaving one's body also carried certain risks, and the person's physical body should be nearby.
Sure enough, not far from Chu Feng's house, a faint blue light rushed out of the delivery person's body, fleeing rapidly.
Chu Feng sneered, secretly following, determined to deal with the person's physical body.
Not far away was a park with many trees. The blue light rushed into the woods.
There, a person was sitting motionless, and the blue light instantly entered his head.
Chu Feng's speed was incredible, when he reached his maximum, he could run about 260 meters per second, extremely fast.
So, as soon as the blue light returned to the body, Chu Feng suddenly accelerated and directly attacked.
He kicked out, and the person's body made a light cracking sound, his spine breaking, and he flew out.
Then, he kicked again, and the person's legs made a cracking sound, also breaking.
Chu Feng stepped on his mouth, warning, "Don't scream, or it will be worse for you!" Then, he released his foot.
The person groaned on the ground, suppressing his voice, not daring to shout, his face pale, sweat soaking through his clothes.
"Injuring my father's waist, and planning to have his legs crushed by a car, you should feel it yourself!" Chu Feng stood nearby, looking down at him.
