Chapter 396 An Unexpected Discovery: A Spy from the Demon Worship Society
The moment the "first fruit" enters the mouth, it instantly transforms into a burst of juice.
Jiang Chen's expression changed drastically, and he trembled slightly as if he had been electrocuted.
Jiang Ruo asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Chen's face was ashen, his brows furrowed, and he squeezed out a single word through gritted teeth: "Bitter!"
This bitterness is extreme, an intensely astringent sensation.
It was the complete opposite of the sweetness I had tasted before.
Jiang Chen swore he had never tasted such an unforgettable bitterness. This bitterness was like an electric current, starting from the tip of his tongue, traveling along every nerve and every blood vessel, spreading to every corner of his body.
Then, a terrifying energy erupted within his body.
After consuming the "First Fruit", Jiang Chen has been paying close attention to his attributes.
Originally, by consuming five "high-level fruits," his four attributes had all reached 1000.
However, under the influence of the "first fruit", the four-dimensional attributes began to grow rapidly.
1100, 1200... It's increasing by 100 points every second.
In the blink of an eye, the attribute value has exceeded 2000.
The bitterness remained undiminished and persisted.
Jiang Chen's brows never relaxed.
Jiang Ruo asked, "How do you feel?" Jiang Chen shook his head and uttered a single word: "Bitter!"
He could say nothing else besides this expression.
At that moment, he felt that the whole world was bitter, and even the air he was breathing tasted bitter.
However, as the attributes increased rapidly, the side effects also began to appear.
Jiang Chen clearly felt that, along with the increase in his attributes, a powerful force seemed to be impacting his body.
However, all the damage was absorbed by the skeletons around him.
I myself was not affected in any way.
This power isn't particularly strong; it simply erupts from within the body, rendering any defensive measures ineffective.
In other words, we have no choice but to tough it out.
This kind of damage, coming from the inside out, ignores defensive capabilities; it's very difficult to withstand. Jiang Chen felt that probably no one could withstand it.
But Jiang Chen ignored this level of harm.
It was even less dangerous than eating the Bloodthirsty Python's Heart-Protecting Meat during the second job advancement.
But this suffering…
Jiang Chen finally reached his limit and could no longer bear the bitterness.
He quickly picked the "premium fruit" next to him and took a bite.
Wow!
As soon as the "high-grade fruit" entered his mouth, Jiang Chen felt the bitterness explode in his entire oral cavity.
The sweetness of the "high-grade fruit" is instantly assimilated by the bitterness, and it even becomes more bitter.
Jiang Ruo's eyes were filled with worry, but there was nothing she could do to help Jiang Chen.
However, she also realized that Jiang Chen didn't seem to be in any danger.
She was relieved and giggled, "Don't worry, Jiang Chen, it's okay if you can't hold on. I will definitely take care of your body and make sure nothing is missing."
Jiang Chen looked at her speechlessly. Is she even her own sister? How could she be so heartless?
Lin Cai'er and Yi Ning also rushed over and saw Jiang Chen with a bitter face.
Jiang Chen held out his hand to Lin Cai'er, "Do you have any candy?"
Lin Cai'er nodded, "Yes."
As she spoke, she took out a handful of light green candies and handed them to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen popped a few into his mouth, and immediately a bitter taste mixed with spiciness rushed into his nasal cavity and swept over his taste buds.
Jiang Chen experienced an even more thrilling sensation, and tears streamed down his face.
Now it was spicy, bitter, and intoxicating, and he couldn't say anything. Jiang Ruo asked, "What kind of candy did you give him?"
Lin Cai'er tilted her head and said, "I had someone make it for me. It's bitter melon mustard candy."
"Haha!" Jiang Ruo couldn't help but burst out laughing, covering her head with one hand. "There are even candies like this? This is so much fun!"
Jiang Chen heard it too, but now he was powerless to retaliate.
That bitter, spicy, and intoxicating feeling was just so exhilarating.
Lin Cai'er asked, "Sister, what exactly happened to Jiang Chen?"
Jiang Ruo said with a smile, "He's fine now, he'll be alright in a bit."
Jiang Chen was indeed unharmed; all the damage had been transferred to the skeleton.
He is already level 45, and his summoning queue has reached 750.
There are a total of 25 undead legions, with a total of over 19000 skeletons.
There are also 25 tough-skinned lich generals. Unless the side effects of the "First Fruit" can burst them all, they won't be able to hurt Jiang Chen.
The attributes are steadily increasing, and Jiang Chen feels like every second is an eternity.
He finally understood how unbearable extreme suffering could be.
After persisting for two minutes, the bitterness finally subsided completely.
At this moment, Jiang Chen's four-dimensional attributes have all reached 10000.
It doesn't seem tall, but it's 10 times taller than Lin Cai'er.
The most crucial element isn't the attributes themselves; according to Jiang Ruo, the hidden attribute "comprehension" is the real highlight.
However, the enhancement of "comprehension" cannot be seen; this benefit is subtle and gradual.
Despite the significant increase in attributes, I haven't felt anything physically.
Jiang Chen quickly picked a "high-grade fruit" and put it in his mouth, letting the sweet juice spread in his mouth and completely wash away the bitterness.
However, Jiang Chen discovered that the "Advanced Fruit" could no longer increase his attributes.
10 attributes is the limit.
Jiang Ruo was also full by this time, her belly slightly bulging. "Alright, let's go."
Jiang Ruo ate a total of ten "high-grade fruits", and each of her attributes reached 2000, which was much higher than Lin Cai'er's.
The group walked through the orchard and left through another exit.
Just outside the exit is the other side of the mountain, where there are also vast orchards.
According to Jiang Ruo, there are only low-level and mid-level fruits here.
Occasionally, one or two high-grade fruits can be found, but they cannot compare to those found inside the mountain.
After they left the cave, the entrance closed automatically. This cave allows only one-way passage.
"Why is it so quiet?"
Yi Ning felt something was off.
Although there weren't many people coming in, and the orchard was quite large, it shouldn't have been this quiet.
Jiang Chen suddenly said, "Be careful, something's not right."
He stepped forward without hesitation.
There is no undead legion now, no skeletal armor.
Jiang Chen could only rely on damage transfer, so he had to be careful.
After walking for a while, they heard the sounds of fighting ahead.
This was accompanied by energy fluctuations and screams.
"There is a fight here."
The group exchanged glances and quickly rushed over.
After passing through the garden, we came to an open space. Almost everyone who entered the ancestral land was here.
A group of people were fighting in the open space.
To be precise, it was a dozen people besieging one person.
These dozen or so men were armed with sharp swords and broadswords, and there were also archers shooting from the outside.
Weapons represent their professions; knights, warriors, and archers all have them.
But it's clear that these people have all eaten the fruit, their skills have been sealed, and their attributes are extremely poor.
All attacks are just normal attacks.
The person they were besieging was also a knight wielding a longsword.
He stood relaxed, his expression casual, and with a casual wave of his longsword, he could unleash sword energy that forced several people back.
He didn't eat the fruit.
Jiang Chen could tell at a glance that the people being besieged had not eaten the fruit, yet still possessed formidable combat power.
Now he's like a cat playing with a mouse, teasing everyone.
A group of people were standing not far away.
They were all magic-based classes, and at this moment they had no combat ability.
Besides them, there were two other people lying on the ground, still breathing, and they must have been seriously injured.
As Jiang Chen and his group arrived, the knight who was being besieged suddenly laughed, "Everyone's finally here. It's time to end this cat-and-mouse game!"
A flash of light appeared on his body, and a massive burst of energy erupted, sending all those who were attacking him flying with several loud bangs.
Then a blue halo bloomed beneath his feet.
Immediately afterwards, a blue halo rose beneath everyone's feet, and a chilling aura swept over them.
The Holy Knight's skill: Freezing Aura!
It can freeze enemies, greatly slowing them down.
This skill is very useful when playing dungeons, as it has a very strong control effect.
It's equally useful when killing someone.
Everyone present, except Jiang Chen, was affected by the freezing effect, and their movements became slower.
Despair was on everyone's face.
The knight raised his longsword and pointed it at the enemy, saying, "I've been waiting for you for ages."
Yi Ning's expression turned slightly serious. "Holy Light Knight, he should be from the Ye family."
Jiang Chen said, "It's not just the Ye family, they're old acquaintances too. Don't come over, leave it to me..."
Jiang Chen walked forward and said calmly, "Ye Jinrong, I haven't mistaken you for someone else, have I?" Ye Jinrong was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter, "I didn't expect you to recognize me, Jiang Chen is indeed amazing!"
He said his appearance changed, and he eventually became like Ye Jinrong.
His eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at Jiang Chen. "I'm very curious, how did you recognize me?"
Jiang Chen said, "I'm also very curious about how you became a lackey of the Demon Worship Society. Did you become a lackey, or did your entire Ye family become lackeys?"
