Chapter 1166: Strive to be First

"Useful? I surely know they are useful…" Ye Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "But… two fruits are far from enough. We have many people…"
Erhuo automatically rolled up its eyes. It knew this greedy man would say so, so it meowed, which meant, 'They only work for the first time. It will give you nothing when you eat them twice.'
"I know. I won't eat them all by myself. There are people I need to care about. Lian Lian, Yeyue, Bing'er, and others…" Ye Xiao humphed and grabbed Erhuo out of the Boundless Space without hesitation. "Go get more! Quick!"
Erhuo annoyedly waved its tail like it had been suffering a great deal.
[I knew it. I knew this is going to end up me being bullied when I started to work for him.]
[Fine. It always takes efforts to get food. Anyway, it doesn't really cost me much time. It is just as simple as blowing off the dust from something!]
At this moment, the crowd was bursting in an uproar.
"Great! Divine Yin Yang Fruits come down again…"
"Ah!"
"Don't touch it, guys!"
"It's another opportunity!"
"Why not! I own the fruits now…"
…
After that, there was a miserable exclamation…
The man who yelled that he owned the fruits suddenly became a black ball with bolts of lightning flashing around him.
He got hooked by whoever was fishing them…
After a while, another pair of Divine Yin Yang Fruits came down again…
Almost at the same time, people rushed over.
Another exclamation… Everything was back to silence…
These men were all high-level Dao Origin Stage cultivators who could be conquerors of many areas. However, they suddenly lost self-control, striving to get the fruits, just because Erhuo abruptly took away the fruits.
They believed they could be the next one, the main character. Everybody believed the others were only the side characters who were designed to die!
One after another, the cultivators kept becoming the black ball and being pulled up by whoever was fishing them.
Suddenly, people on the cliff all strived to get to the fruits first…
During the human-fishing process, it took only several breaths for a man to get hooked, killed, and pulled up. However, every time when a man was killed after touching the fruits, the fruits would disappear for a few seconds. They were probably pulled back by the fisherman before he put them down again. It didn't take a long time; in fact, it was such a short time. When the people saw one successful case with their own eyes, they couldn't wait to get the fruits next.
'Somebody has done it! I can be the next!' — It was a collective mentality.
Somebody did it, so I surely can do it too?
After that, every time when the fruits were put down, a bunch of cultivators would fight for the chance to get them…
They were literally striving to get themselves killed!
What happened was that someone touched the fruits and became a black ball with a dead soul.
The one who died was always the strongest among the crowd.
Ye Xiao was watching them and twisting his mouth.
[What the hell is wrong with the world? How could these people be so unbelievably blinded by greed?]
[It is obviously suicide, yet they are all so enthusiastic like they are all drugged or something…]
After about seventy men died, it was finally cooling down.
"Damn it! Why is it so strange!"
"Who is the man that got the fruits earlier? I don't see any abnormal scene happening, which should happen when someone eats the fruits…"
"Holy hell. So many people died, yet no one succeeded…"
"Just wait… Be patient…"
"Maybe it is just like the previous. Somebody took the fruits, and then nobody could ever take them in thousands of years. It is nothing abnormal…"
"We can't be sure. The second person in history took the fruits not long before Yuankai did…"
"Gosh. Different people, different fates. I think we may need to wait for thousands of years…"
"Holy hell…"
Everybody was sighing.
Some of them were apparently hopeless. They were thinking about giving up on it.
However, at this moment, something changed in the sky again. Two fruits were coming down from nothing.
This time, nobody dared to approach recklessly.
"Just do more observation first. I guess I need to rest."
"Hmm… Just wait…"
"Holy sh*t! What's that…"
"Oh!"
…
Among a roaring exclamation of surprise, a blurred white shadow flashed over the fruits, faster than anybody could notice.
The two fruits that just showed up were gone!
Two fishhooks were left in the sky!
What astonished them was that the hooks didn't even move a little bit.
[Holy sh*t! Did that man show up again?]
[Did he do it for the second time?]
[How did he do it?]
People exclaimed. Most of them turned blue in the eyes because of jealousy. They kept looking around in the crowd, trying to find the man who got the fruits.
If anybody found that man, they would all rush over and beat him up like hell!
[He has four fruits already!]
[Why does he have to get so many of it?]
[You got the fruits already! Why didn't you eat them? Why did you have to get them again? What do you want? To be the god?]
[What an asshole…]
Many of them started to warm up, searching around with a pair of blue eyes. Some of them had been staying peacefully in this place for hundreds of years, but now they were all burning in anger!
Twice!
This was the first time in the tens of thousand years that somebody took the fruits twice!
That was unique!
There had never been anybody else…
[Is the fisherman changed?]
Their eyes turned red out of greediness again.
If it only happened once, it might not happen twice; however, if there was a second on the same day, there must be a third!
That was the rule!
They all recognized the rule!
They rushed up fast and approached the cliff to wait for the new fruits to show up.
Even if they found somebody who had taken the fruits twice, it might not be a good thing for them. Since he could move so fast, it must be an overwhelming figure. If the man swallowed the fruits and became an invincible cultivator, they might all get killed!
However, it would be great if they could successfully get the next pair of fruits to become an invincible cultivator!
But it took a much longer time for the fruits to show up this time.
