Chapter 280: Chapter 281: Fruit-in-FruitThe two onlookers’ eyes nearly popped out of their heads in surprise, not expecting that this strange old man really managed to shake a fruit down from the big tree. "Come, help me out here." Dongfeng Shuo called Mu Can over to assist. Mu Can walked over to Dongfeng Shuo, and the two of them together lifted the enormous fruit out of the pit. Although the fruit looked no different from ordinary fruits, it was unexpectedly heavy when lifted. It was like a huge stone egg. "What is this, senior?" Mu Can asked. "Of course, it’s something good." That was as good as saying nothing. Everything from the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm was good, Mu Can knew that without being told. "Hehe, help me crack it open." Dongfeng Shuo took out a dark green axe from his Storage Magical Treasure. He chopped fiercely at the fruit. With a clang, the axe made a crisp sound upon hitting the fruit, as if it were striking a rock, emitting a metallic clashing noise.

Mu Can saw clearly, this fierce chop had merely left a shallow white mark on the fruit. "Senior, what exactly is this?" The two onlookers also came closer, by this point, even a fool could tell that this old man had found a treasure. "Senior, what exactly is this?" The two bystanders were very well-behaved now, squatting on the side and staring at the huge fruit. The fruit was encircled by patterns of auspicious clouds, making it look not so much like a fruit, but rather like a piece of art. "There’s a treasure inside this," Dongfeng Shuo chuckled, then teasingly held back. I just won’t tell you, and make you all anxious to death. That was just the kind of perverse pleasure Dongfeng Shuo, this strange old man, enjoyed. Although Mu Can had not known Dongfeng Shuo for long, he had already come to understand Dongfeng Shuo’s perverse humor from how annoyed he was. "Come on, chop hard, after it’s broken open, I will share some of the contents inside with you," Dongfeng Shuo beckoned to the two bystanders. The two of them hurried over, took the axe from Dongfeng Shuo’s hands, one held the fruit steady, the other furiously swung the axe at the fruit. For a while, Mu Can’s ears were filled with the sound of the axe hitting the fruit, similar to the striking of metal. "Senior, what exactly is inside?" Mu Can, full of curiosity, wondered what could be inside such a miraculous fruit that grew on a towering tree in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm. "Hehe, you’ll see soon enough," Dongfeng Shuo still hesitated to reveal the truth even now. In this way, the two onlookers changed from being bystanders to being Mu Can and Dongfeng Shuo. The two stayed aside, Dongfeng Shuo took out two more fruits from his Storage Magical Treasure and handed one to Mu Can; both squatted and watched the previous two sweating profusely chopping the fruit. Mu Can bit into the fruit Dongfeng Shuo handed him; it tasted incredibly sweet. An old man and a young man thus squatting aside watching two people chopping fruits. "When will this end?" The fruit seemed extremely hard, simply not something that could be chopped with an axe. "Just keep at it, who told you that this fruit needed to be chopped open? You two just need to chop another hundred times, and it will be about right," Dongfeng Shuo finally spoke. Thus, the two young onlookers each took up the axe and ferociously chopped another hundred times. Fearing that it was ineffective, both of them each chopped ten more times. "Senior, what exactly is inside this? We’ve both been chopping for so long, why is there still no effect?" These two passersby were just beginners of the Martial Arts Sect, such strength was considered quite good outside, but within the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, it was simply not enough. "Who said your chopping was useless? When did I tell you that you need to chop open this fruit? Move aside, watch me." Dongfeng Shuo rolled up his sleeves, walked in front of the fruit, and gently knocked on it three times. Dang, dang, dang! "Is anyone there?" The fruit didn’t move at all. Mu Can wasn’t bothered, but the faces of the two passersby were already showing anger. Was this old man really just playing with them? Even if your strength is a bit higher than ours, there’s no need for this, right? Wasn’t it just a few teasing remarks from us, is it necessary to act like this? The two passersby felt very wronged, even wanting to cry. They had swung their axes hundreds of times without any discount, every strike was a full-strength chop, and now both of their arms were still sore. To make two Martial Arts Sect members feel arm pain, one can imagine how much strength they used. Dongfeng Shuo saw the expressions of the two men, but did not say anything, instead, he gently knocked on the fruit three more times. Dang, dang, dang! "The door is open." Dongfeng Shuo, as if knocking on a door, bent down beside the fruit and gently said. Bang! As if heeding Dongfeng Shuo’s soft call, the outer shell of the fruit suddenly split open, revealing what was hidden inside. It was actually a cluster of small fruits. "Hehe, I knew you would definitely open it." Dongfeng Shuo looked at the fruits hidden within the fruit, laughing hehe. "This thing, is a great nourishment and only grows in this secret realm." "Senior, what is this?" The two passersby quickly gathered around, looking at Dongfeng Shuo with expectant faces. Dongfeng Shuo did not disappoint them, handing out two fruits to each person, and keeping a few for himself, the rest he handed to Mu Can. Mu Can took the fruits. After the huge outer shell was opened, each fruit inside was only the size of a fist, shining with a faint light, tempting to the palate. "This type of fruit is called Fruit-in-Fruit, it can only grow in this situation. Ordinary methods can’t harvest it, you can only hug the tree and shake it vigorously, it takes a certain extent to successfully shake it down from the tree; otherwise, even if you use an axe to chop, you can’t chop it down." "How did you feel when you just chopped this fruit?" Dongfeng Shuo picked up a fruit and took a bite. "Feel? It felt like chopping on a stone, completely ineffective." The two passersby took the fruit, their smiles never fading. "That’s right, this kind of fruit, even a Divine Weapon can’t open it, it can only be opened by the vibration generated from your chopping." Dongfeng Shuo looked at them and said lightly. "Senior, then what exactly is the use of this fruit?" Having obtained the treasures but not knowing how to use them, the two passersby quickly asked. "Use? What use?" Dongfeng Shuo asked back. "It’s about the effect of this fruit, such a magical fruit, its effect must be very good, right?" The faces of the two passersby were full of anticipation. "Effect? Other than being delicious, it seems there are no other effects."
