Chapter 152 Thousand Resentments Fruit

"What is that?" Weiss said in horror as she looked at Hader with a tree growing above her head.

"It's just a little trick."

Roja stretched out his right hand like lightning and clamped one of the branches.

call--

A faint blue flame ignited at Roja's fingertips, and the fire spread along the branches.

In an instant, Hard's entire head was burning with blue flames.

"Uwaaaah——"

Hader held his head and rolled on the ground in pain, wailing miserably.

"You stay here to take care of Hade, and don't move around without hearing anything from me." After giving instructions, Roja jumped off the carriage and walked towards Shanta Town.

"Are those two wizards really evil wizards who took advantage of the plague to cause trouble?" Weiss suddenly shouted at Roja's back.

"of course."

Roja didn't hesitate at all, and without any pause in his steps, he walked straight into the black mist.

Walking in a dead town where you can't even hear footsteps.

The thick fog mixed with blood surged around Roya, turning into ferocious faces that roared silently at Roja.

"I know your pain, don't worry, you will be relieved soon."

When Roja approached the center of the town, a deafening sound suddenly sounded, and the whole town was shaking violently.

The surrounding black mist surged toward a certain place under an invisible force.

"Has it finally begun?"

After Roja stepped into the Hejian area and used the Two Soul Witness to observe, he already understood what happened here.

The entire Riverlands is the site of ritual sacrifices by mandolin wizards!

This life-sucking sacrificial ritual has been going on for decades, and all the dead people in the river area over the decades have become nutrients for the operation of the ritual.

When enough nutrients have been collected, it is finally time to bloom and bear fruit.

At the end of the ceremony, the mandolin wizard came again and wanted to sacrifice everyone in the river area.

"The sacrificial ritual lasted for decades and millions of lives were sacrificed. What did you gain?"

Rumble——

Baskets of thick vines grew out of the ground.

The vines are intertwined and entangled with each other, turning into a towering giant vine with a diameter of more than ten meters.

Gulu gulu gulu——

Huge and immeasurable magic power surged from the roots of the vine toward the top, turning into nutrients for a huge black-red bud.

The flower buds gradually become larger.

The vines gradually become withered.

The moment the buds bloomed, the entire vine withered completely.

Crackling——

As the vines shattered, huge flower buds tens of meters in diameter fell from the sky.

As the buds fell, they suddenly burned.

As it burns, it shrinks in size.

Just when the burning flower bud was about to hit the ground, a black shadow suddenly rushed towards the flower bud from a distance.

"Don't even think about it!"

Following the roar, a green light shot toward the flower bud faster than the black shadow.

"Do you want to destroy the Thousand Resentment Tumor Fruit?" The black shadow hand grabbed the green light.

Boom!

The sound of landslides and ground cracks suddenly sounded.

Strong winds surged in all directions, and the buildings in Shanta Town tilted and collapsed one after another, and the area was covered in dust for several kilometers.

At this time, a breeze blew up and blew away the dust around him.

After the dust has dispersed and the field of vision is not affected.

Roja looked straight ahead.

Less than a hundred meters away from him, there was a deep pit with a diameter of twenty meters. In the center of the pit lay a black fruit the size of a head.

There are thousands of dark red blood bumps on the fruit's skin, which look like bumps on a human face.

"Thousand Resentment Tumor Fruit?"

The information that Roja exchanged at the Environmental Council contained the content of the Thousand Resentments Fruit.

If the information is correct and the Mandolin Wizard needs the Thousand Resentments Fruit, it means that the Mandolin Wizard...

Thinking of this, Luo Ya, who was originally a little uneasy about going to Manhua Forest to meet the Mandolin Wizard, smiled slightly.

After looking away from the Thousand Resentments Fruit, Roja looked at the other two wizard apprentices present.

One person was naked from the waist up, his skin was scorched black, and he was covered in black translucent fluff. There was a three-meter-long cat tail growing from his buttocks behind him.

——Kukashi!

The other person's skin is as rough and tough as a tree root. People who don't understand might think he is a human-shaped tree root.

——Maven!

With just one glance, Roja felt their power.

Because both of them are third-class apprentices!

Kukashi and Maven were facing each other, and the murderous aura condensed into substance collided between them.

Both of them were wary of the other's strength, and neither dared to act rashly.

Realizing that no one was paying attention to him and treating himself as a non-threatening air, Roja blinked and took a step towards the Thousand Resentments Fruit.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Two extremely cold gazes shot toward Roja.

The strong murderous intent and majestic spiritual power contained in it can instantly make the knight paralyze to the ground like an earthworm.

"Hello you two, I am the new wizard Roya who came here following the orders of the Mandolin Wizard. You two should be students of the Mandolin Wizard, right?"

Neither Kukashi nor Maven replied, but while they were wary of each other, they paid a little attention to Roja.

Roja's expression did not change at all after being left out.

He stared at the Thousand Resentments Fruit in the center of the pit, "I don't care what grudges you have, but this is the mandolin wizard's thing, right?"

"If you want to decide the winner, if you want to fight life or death, it doesn't matter to me. You are busy with your business, and I won't interfere with you, so you don't have to worry about me."

"I will take the Thousand Resentment Fruit back to the Mandolin Wizard first."

One step, two steps, three steps...

Roja ignored the ugly expressions on Kukashi and Maven's faces and their murderous gazes and walked towards the Thousand Resentments Fruit.

"Boy, don't act stupid for me here!" Kusika shouted, and several giant pythons condensed from the black breath of death attacked Roja.

Clang!

Roja held the Holy Sword Lion Heart and roared with all his strength. Hundreds of oscillating forces intertwined and turned into a black net to block the giant python formed by the condensed death energy.

Facing the attack of the third-class apprentice, Roja quickly retreated back, knowing that he could not stop him for long, and retreated several hundred meters before stopping.

He squinted his eyes at Kusika and Maven, "Do you want to betray the Mandolin Wizard?"

"You have wronged me." Maven quickly defended, "The only one who betrayed the teacher and wanted to seize the Thousand Resentments Fruit was the traitor Kukashi! I was trying to stop him!"

"Hmph! That old immortal uses us students as tools and experimental subjects in order to prolong life. She has no feelings for us, and she still wants us to fight for her?"

Kusika had a frosty look on her face, "I originally thought that after the old immortal died, I could get her inheritance... Now it's not a loss to get her Thousand Resentment Tumor Fruit."

"Listen, is it fair to say that about a teacher?" Maven expressed his kindness to Roya and walked towards him, "Kusika's strength is no less than mine. If we fight normally, who will live and who will die?"

It's possible, but I know his weakness, as long as you and I cooperate..."

Maven's voice became softer and softer. In order to hear clearly what Maven said, Roja moved towards Maven unconsciously.

Maven's eyes were wary of Kukasi, and he whispered in Roja's ear. His left arm hidden in his wide sleeves squirmed and turned into five dark green vines with sharp thorns.

"His weakness is..."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!——

The five vines that Maven's left arm transformed into shot towards Roja who was very close at hand.

However, Roja, who was listening carefully and unpreparedly to Maven's words one second, turned sideways to avoid Maven's surprise attack the next moment.

It was as if Maven's sneak attack had been anticipated, and he even knew the attack method and attack location clearly.

But how is it possible?

Even if Roja had been wary of him, it was impossible for Roja, who had just passed the wizard trial, to dodge his sneak attack so perfectly at such a close distance?

There was a surprised expression on Maven's face.

However, Maven only panicked for a moment, "I was thinking of killing this troublesome little guy first, but I didn't expect that I still have some skills."

Maven and Kusika have studied under the same teacher for many years and have conducted countless missions together. They are both very familiar with each other.

Even though they turned against each other because of the Thousand Resentment Fruit, they both wanted to kill each other and take the Thousand Resentment Fruit for themselves.

However, when the unexpected third party Roja arrived, Kusica and Maven made the same decision in unison - to kill the third party Roja!

Without any communication, the two acted in a tacit understanding.

Unexpectedly, Roja saw through it, and the sneak attack failed.

However, Maven didn't care much about the failed sneak attack. "A new wizard who has just passed the wizard trial, now that I have been close, still wants to escape? Still wants to live?"

Since the sneak attack failed, then rely on strength to kill!
