CHAPTER 644: CHAPTER 643: LET’S SNATCH THE FOOD FROM THE TIGER’S MOUTH

A while later, Lin Fan reluctantly suppressed his rage, calming his emotions: "Forget it, let’s continue the search for the Life Fruit. Although the one I found was taken by that ascetic, luckily, I have the Universal Image. With the Universal Image, I can quickly find the Life Fruits!"

Lin Fan used the treasure-hunting feature of the Universal Image and quickly found another Life Fruit.

The Life Fruit was also growing in a small pond, and just like before, it was perfectly ripe. Not too little, not too much; the timing was spot on.

"It’s just matured again?" Lin Fan couldn’t help but think: "Could it be because of the Universal Image? Is it definitely because of the Universal Image that I can find the perfectly ripe Life Fruits? This is just too unexpected, heh heh!"

Lin Fan was ecstatic.

Afterward, Lin Fan planned to go and pick the Life Fruit.

However...

What happened next caused Lin Fan a great deal of frustration.

Once again, Lin Fan felt a blur before his eyes.

"Not good!"

In that instant, Lin Fan had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the next moment, after another shadow flashed by, the Life Fruit once again disappeared.

The previous ascetic was standing not far away, holding the Life Fruit that had just vanished.

Having the Life Fruit snatched away once again made Lin Fan furious to the extreme.

It was just a pity that he wasn’t a match for the ascetic, otherwise, Lin Fan really wanted to rush up and fight him desperately.

"Hmm, this Life Fruit is also quite nice, very nice indeed. In fact, it seems even more perfect than the previous one!" The ascetic muttered to himself, looking very pleased.

Finally, Lin Fan couldn’t bear it any longer!

"Are you following me?"

Lin Fan roared angrily.

"Following you?"

The ascetic looked towards Lin Fan, then shook his head and said, "Young man, you’re mistaken, I’m not following you. I just happened to pass by here, that’s all. Right, you say I’m following you, which of your eyes saw me following you?"

The ascetic was clearly being shameless!

Looking at the Life Fruit in the ascetic’s hand, Lin Fan was itching with hatred, wishing he could rush over and snatch it away.

The ascetic then said: "But, speaking of which, you are quite peculiar, young man. How can you find a mature Life Fruit so easily? Tell me, how do you do it? If you tell me how you do it, I can give you a Life Fruit. How about that? This deal is very advantageous for you! Wouldn’t you consider it?"

As he spoke, the ascetic’s face carried a sly smile, just like a big bad wolf...

Without a doubt, upon seeing that smile, Lin Fan really wanted to punch him directly...

But Lin Fan still suppressed the urge because he knew he was no match for him and if he really punched him, he would definitely be the one who ended up suffering.

"Well? Tell me, how did you do it?"

The ascetic went on to say.

"Hmph!"

Lin Fan snorted coldly and said, "You expect me to tell you how I did it? Dream on!"

"Alas!"

The ascetic sighed and said, "So it seems, you don’t want to tell me?"

Lin Fan continued coldly, "Yes, I won’t tell you, what can you do about it? Surely, you’re not going to kill me, are you?"

The ascetic shook his head and said, "You’re wrong, although I have been dedicated to cultivation all my life, to be honest, I seldom kill people. You and I have no grudge, I naturally won’t kill you!"

At this point, the ascetic paused briefly before continuing: "However, I will always follow you!"

"What?"

Lin Fan was taken aback, his face immediately contorted with displeasure.

If this old guy really keeps following me, then I’ll never get the Life Fruit.

Even if I find the Life Fruit, the ascetic would seize it first.

Lin Fan said: "Don’t push it too far!"

The ascetic replied: "Ah, young man, why be so stubborn? Just tell me your method of finding the Life Fruit. I promise, as long as you tell me the method, I will never snatch your Life Fruit again, how’s that?"

"No way!"

Lin Fan said: "Give it up, I will not tell you the method to find the Life Fruit!"

In fact, under the current circumstances, even if Lin Fan wanted to tell the ascetic, he wouldn’t know how to.

Lin Fan couldn’t possibly reveal that he has the Universal Image!

"Alas!"

The ascetic shook his head and said: "You are so stubborn, it’s really unlikeable!"

"Well then, keep being stubborn. Hehe, I’m leaving!"

"But be careful, when you find the next Life Fruit, I will appear again, haha!"

The voice of the ascetic disappeared into the void.

At this moment, Lin Fan’s feelings of hatred reached an unprecedented level.

Lin Fan simply stopped moving, sitting in place, his mind continuously calculating, looking for a way to get rid of the ascetic.

Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, Lin Fan still couldn’t find a suitable method.

"Did I finally make it into the Life Divine Mountain, only to return empty-handed?" Lin Fan thought to himself.

At this moment, Lin Fan was extremely frustrated.

"Eh?"

The next moment, Lin Fan suddenly thought of a very serious problem. He had met the ascetic twice, but noticed that the ascetic’s life energy had not changed.

It’s known that in the Life Divine Mountain, the special aura can absorb the life force of a person.

But...

The life energy of the ascetic didn’t change at all?

That is to say, his life force wasn’t absorbed!

"It appears that these ascetics must have a Secret Technique to prevent the absorption of life force by the Life Divine Mountain!" Lin Fan thought to himself.

For a while, Lin Fan couldn’t help but become curious about the ascetic’s Secret Technique.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Fan still couldn’t figure out a solution.

Although Lin Fan was always cunning and full of deceptive strategies, in the face of absolute power, all these schemes were futile.

"Right!"

Suddenly, Lin Fan thought of a possibility and said: "I’m such an idiot, why am I only thinking about avoiding him? Why not think of a way to snatch the Life Fruit from his hands?"

After careful deliberation, Lin Fan was certain that it was impossible to avoid the ascetic’s pursuit.

Since it was impossible to evade, then there was no point in hiding.

Let’s go for a desperate grab at the tiger’s mouth.
