Chapter 1168: Succession

"Damn it! The fruits are gone again! How is it possible…" The man on the right burst out dark fog in his eyes. Apparently, he was utterly surprised and terrified. He sounded scared.
After losing the fruits twice, he was being extremely cautious this time.
However, the fruits were still gone silently… There was no trace left at all…
The man looked at the fishing pole. He couldn't believe it.
They were far away from Qing-Yun Realm… yet there was someone who could silently take away the baits from his fishing pole without a trace…
That was impossible!
Nobody had ever indeed taken away the fruits unless they intentionally let them do it. Even their sworn enemies in Human Realm Upon Heavens could never do it so quietly. Nobody could take away the fruits without alerting them!
However, within one day, somebody took the fruits three times.
They only noticed it after the fruits were gone…
That was unbelievable! It was incomprehensible!
"Holy hell… Damn it!" the man on the left shouted too.
After he threw out the baits again, the fruits were gone again.
The two of them looked at each other. They just couldn't understand what happened.
It was so weird.
"Although the Cycle Twin Fruits are not anything rare, they are things that only exist in our world…" The man on the right side murmured, "There are less than one hundred pairs of the fruits. It only cost us four pairs in the recent ten thousand years. We wouldn't even lose the four pairs if we didn't let them take it… However, we suddenly lost four pairs more in one day today!"
The man on the right was upset about it too.
"A cycle of life and death makes one pair of Cycle Twin Fruits…" The man on the left felt distressed about losing the fruits, "I am afraid the fruits will run out soon if this keeps happening…"
They looked at each other.
Usually, it had been ten thousand years, and they didn't honestly lose the fruits to anybody. They could still keep using the fruits. It was endless. However, they only had ninety-nine pairs of the fruits in the beginning.
The reason why they could endlessly use the fruits was a distinctive feature of the fruit!
Every time when a man died touching the fruits, the fruits would return automatically. It was a cycle. The fruits would return to the tree…
Once the fruits returned, they could take them and use them again. When they used them to kill somebody, the fruits would return to the tree again…
Technically, they could keep the cycle going, and they would always have the same amount. As long as nobody truly ate the fruits, they wouldn't really lose the fruits. Since the fruits wouldn't be reduced, then it wouldn't be increased either. Heaven's law was fair.
What made them feel pain in the heart was that they actually lost four pairs on one day! In the ten thousand years before this, they had only used four pairs of fruits and spent two pairs to arouse people's lust for it!
One day!
The day hadn't end yet.
Whoever took the fruits must be utterly compelling, who had made four attempts, twice to each of the two unknown figures, and succeeded four times, casually and without a trace!
That was incredibly powerful!
He must be so incredibly powerful that the two unknown figures felt scared about it!
If they kept losing the fruits to the person, the fruits they had would not last for half a month…
What would they use to fish for soul cores if they didn't have the fruits anymore?
No other baits could replace the Cycle Twin Fruits. First, as far as they were concerned, there was nothing else that could get through the channel that was a thousand times narrower than a single hair!
Second, even if they could find something else to replace the fruits, they couldn't be sure that it could keep returning back to them as the fruits did! How many baits did they have to collect if the baits wouldn't return?
"Whoever it is, his power is unpredictable. Maybe some super powerful figure from some marvelous world saw the fruits and liked them. That might be the reason he kept taking the fruits. Let's just call it a day now and think about it. I don't think he is going to wait for his whole life for the fruit!" The two of them were both upset and awkward. Such an incredible thing actually was happening in such a low realm. There must be something wrong.
The only possibility they could come up with was that a 'super powerful figure' from some 'marvelous world' dropped by Qing-Yun Realm and happened to see the fruits, so he casually took them… They thought it was the only logical explanation…
Since the man was someone from another world who was so mighty, he wouldn't stay in such a low realm for a long time. They figured the man would leave after a few days. Moreover, the fruits were rarely seen, and they had distinctive features, but they were not any precious objects after all. They didn't think the 'super powerful figure' would stay longer to wait for the fruits. When he left, everything would be back on track!
[Four pairs of fruits are expendable for us!]
…
The two unknown figures stopped throwing baits to discuss solutions. In Qing-Yun Realm, on the platform of Heaven's Terrace, people had gone entirely crazy!
[Four pairs!]
[He did it four times!]
[Oh heavens…]
[It must be a miracle day in the ten thousand years… It must be the easiest to get the fruits! Whoever makes an attempt will get the fruits!]
[The fisherman must be changed!]
[I have to seize the opportunity today!]
[What… What is that white shadow… Who is it?]
[He actually did it four times! He got the fruits four times!]
[Is he going to be a god beyond heavens?]
[Is he addicted to this?]
[He should better not show up, or I will beat him up to death…]
Everybody went nuts. Not almost all, but all of them were thrilled and crazy!
Everyone was here for the fruits! Who else would come to this place if not for the fruits!
Their eyes were all green or blue! When they looked at their friends, they had a strong suspicion in the eyes. [Did you do it, you piece of sh*t? Are you that lucky f*cking white shadow?]
