As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 1371: Chapter 375: How Will Li Half-Saint Respond Without the Divine Monkey? The Unprecedented Mutation of the Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit

”So you’re saying, every ripening peach is accompanied by a demon?”

Li Che took a deep breath.

He looked at the large snake captured by the Law of Heaven and Earth.

His gaze flickered for a moment.

He couldn’t help but think of the Dragon Blood Wine once brewed by the boss...

This creature could be excellent culinary material.

Li Che muttered to himself: ”The Empress’s rule states... every hero can only pluck one peach, but there’s never been a restriction on these monsters.”

Having made up his mind, the Heavenly Earth Demon Ape immediately picked up the large snake and gave it a good thrashing. After knocking it out, Li Che tore open the Qiankun Space and tossed the snake inside.

Creatures born with the peaches, their bodies are treasures...

Of course, Li Che wouldn’t choose to waste them.

Without the interference of the Chi Fire Three-Floral Python, which had guarded for a thousand years, Li Che boldly plucked the peach that the python had been protecting.

A rich fragrance filled the air, even stronger now that the peach had just been picked.

Li Che held the peach, took a whiff, and a smile played on his lips.

”The first peach...”

”With the rules tested, it’s time to accelerate and quickly advance to the second round...”

For Li Che, the allure of the thousand-year-old peach wasn’t quite enough.

Raising his hand, Li Che tapped on the Brow Niwan.

The Heavenly Earth Demon Ape dispersed around him, the golden light flickering, making Li Che, who stood in the center of the Law of Heaven and Earth, appear somewhat blurry.

And at the moment of blurriness.

In his chest.

The Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit, pulsates vigorously!

Bang bang bang—!!!

The terrifying sound of a heartbeat, like thunder exploding.

The Heaven and Earth chessboard!

The next moment.

With Li Che’s body as the Heavenly Yuan Position, countless interwoven lines were drawn.

Then, as Li Che’s five fingers moved to push it, the Heaven and Earth chessboard surged into the Heavenly Dome.

Encompassing the entire Immortal Peach Orchard.

Buzz buzz buzz—

Li Che slightly closed his eyes.

After the Heaven and Earth chessboard was summoned, it spun and expanded, instantly enveloping the entire Thousand-Year-Old Peach Garden.

Each peach tree, like it’s tiptoeing and secretly running, became incomparably clear in his perception.

As expected, Li Che sensed the figures of heroes sprinting through the Peach Maze.

These figures chose the most ancient method, constantly running, constantly charging around the maze to encounter opponents...

Because if they run fast enough, their efficiency is high enough.

As they couldn’t use perception, they could only resort to this old method.

While Li Che, at this moment, locked onto all those headless-fly-like heroes crashing through the Peach Maze.

However...

Just as Li Che locked onto one hero.

Li Che’s expression suddenly changed drastically.

He had never had such a drastic change in expression...

In his chest.

The Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit, which had always been quiet, suddenly sensed something and began beating crazily, as if trying to break out of his chest!

Thump thump thump—

Each beat seemed to almost knock Li Che’s soul out.

It was as if ghostly shadows of souls were scattering and expanding!

This anomaly in the Dao Fruit had never occurred before!

Since obtaining the Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit until now, Li Che had never experienced such an unusual feeling!

What is happening?

Li Che’s expression became unprecedentedly grave.

Even Li Che would feel apprehensive about the unknown.

The change happening to the Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit was something he had never encountered before, a kind of unknown.

Suddenly.

The Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit pulsated...

The Heaven and Earth chessboard fetched above the Peach Garden, as if countless radiances were radiating to every corner of the Peach Garden...

Slowly...

Amid the deafening sound of beating.

Li Che vaguely picked up a faint voice.

The subtle voice kept gathering, condensing together, gradually becoming clear.

”Help me...”

”Help me...”

And at the moment this voice reverberated in Li Che’s ears.

In his chest, the Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit’s pulsation suddenly ceased.

A surge of overwhelming desire and greed...

From within the Chess Saint’s Dao Fruit...

Like a river bursting its banks, surged out!
