Seeing Mu Ya's worried expression, Kela took a deep breath.

"Don't worry, Lin Chen is not reckless. Since he dares to stay, he must have his confidence, and with his skills, those three Baryonyx shouldn't be able to hurt him."

Although Kela comforted Mu Ya like this, she wasn't sure in her heart.

After all, no one has seen such a fierce beast as the Baryonyx, and they don't even know its strength, so she had no confidence in saying whether Lin Chen could block it or not.

Kela's gaze turned to the back, secretly thinking: "Chen Lin, you will follow us, right?"

At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the forest behind them, and they saw a figure quickly shooting out of the forest, dashing out like lightning.

Everyone stopped in their tracks, looking at the figure leaping out from the forest.

"Brother Chen Lin," Mu Ya's face showed an excited expression.

At this moment, Kela's eyes were also filled with shock. How could it be? It ended so quickly.

Lin Chen came before everyone and said calmly, "Let's go. Those three Baryonyx have already been driven away by me."

Saying this, Lin Chen was the first to rush toward the direction where the Spiritual Energy emanated from.

The others exchanged glances filled with shock.

How could it be possible? Such a formidable Baryonyx, and this guy actually solved it in less than ten minutes.

On the way, though there were also beast attacks, they did not encounter any other powerful beasts.

A dozen figures sped through the dense forest, with Lin Chen in front and the others following behind.

Suddenly, the sound of a waterfall came from ahead, and breaking through the trees, a several hundred meters long waterfall appeared in front of everyone.

"Crash, crash!"

Waterfalls roared like white ribbons gushing down from the mountaintop.

A gentle breeze stirred, carrying wisps of mist through the air.

And around the waterfall, more and more people emerged.

Lin Chen looked up and saw the top of the waterfall.

An ancient giant tree extended out halfway up the mountain.

Everyone's fervent gaze fell on that ancient tree.

"That should be the legendary Wanling Tree," Kela said in a deep voice.

Lin Chen nodded. From that Wanling Tree, Lin Chen could feel strong energy emanating, containing a rich life aura.

Clearly, this was the so-called Wanling Tree.

"It seems there are quite a few people here!"

Lin Chen glanced around the waterfall and saw Cook from the Nordic Pirate Group, and the experts he had seen on the ship were all gathered around the waterfall.

All these people carried a bloody scent, obviously having killed many beasts along the way.

At this moment, Lin Chen's gaze fell on Xiu Er, who had led the poison bees and Baryonyx to almost cause them to miss important affairs.

Xiu Er's eyes showed a hint of surprise, clearly not expecting Lin Chen and the others to escape the Baryonyx's clutches so quickly.

Cook saw Lin Chen and the others appear, his gaze turned cold, and he said to Xiu Er, "Didn't you say they would be blocked by the Baryonyx?"

Xiu Er looked at Lin Chen and the others with surprise, a puzzled look in his eyes.

"I clearly used three Baryonyx to block them. Logically, they shouldn't have gotten here so quickly."

Kela's expression grew more unsightly upon seeing Xiu Er and Cook standing together.

"So it was Cook," Kela coldly glanced at Cook and the others.

Lin Chen also looked towards Cook, not expecting that this guy would hire so many experts for the Wanling Fruit.

At this moment, the giant tree exuded a faint light.

The Wanling Fruit only blossoms at noon and bears fruit at midnight; there's only half an hour until midnight, so it should bear fruit soon.

Lin Chen nodded, knowing that although it was calm now, everyone here was eyeing the Wanling Fruit, and once the fruit appeared, this brief peace would be shattered.

Everyone here would become an enemy, and who could snatch the Wanling Fruit depended on whose skills were superior.

Apart from the crashing sound of the waterfall, there was no sound around the waterfall.

The atmosphere around was abnormally tense, with everyone tightly focused on that Wanling Tree above the waterfall.

Cook swept his gaze towards Lin Chen, a cold smile passing through his eyes, clearly harboring bad intentions.

Although Cook only glanced at Lin Chen a few times, Lin Chen could sense a conspiracy.

Besides Cook, the only strong one around him was that young man, and the old man who could control beasts was no longer of much use since most beasts on the island had been killed by these Martial Artists.

Lin Chen had already decided that if Cook and he could stay out of each other's way, all would be well. If Cook dared to hinder him from grabbing the Wanling Fruit, Lin Chen wouldn't mind eliminating him directly.

As time ticked by, with midnight approaching, everyone's face carried tension.

Finally, it was about to bear fruit.

Lin Chen clenched his fist, his eyes firmly fixed on the ancient tree suspended in the waterfall.

"Boom!"

When midnight arrived, the waterfall's flow suddenly stopped.

And the entire mountain range issued a deafening roar.

The Wanling Tree emitted streaks of golden light.

"The Wanling Fruit is about to appear," Kela's face lit up with joy as she watched the ancient tree's waves.

Her breathing became increasingly rapid, clearly very nervous.

Lin Chen's heart also shook, his gaze fixed on that ancient tree.

The sound of the mountain range's tremor grew louder as a green wave exuding a life aura suddenly emanated from the ancient tree.

And on the ancient tree, three golden fruits suddenly burst forth.

Around the waterfall, everyone's gaze was fixed on the Wanling Fruit.

Everyone's breathing became rapid, but no one made a move in the face of such great temptation.

Everyone knew the wisdom of striking the leader first, and whoever moved first would become the target of everyone's attacks.

However, in the face of such a great lure, there were still many who ultimately couldn't resist.

"Whiz, whiz, whiz!"

Around the waterfall, over a dozen figures surged forth, rushing to the top of the waterfall.

But at this moment, a gigantic white shadow suddenly charged in at mid-mountain.

What is that?

Seeing the white shadow, Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

Bang!

The white shadow struck out, directly hitting those dozen or so people, instantly turning them into a mist of blood.

Seeing this scene, everyone's faces showed apprehension, as these people disappeared without even a chance to scream.

In mid-mountain, a giant white python slowly crawled out, coiling around that ancient tree.

A chilling aura instantly swept through the entire space, and the huge white python peered with its triangular head, coldly watching the crowd.

Lin Chen looked at that gigantic white python and also took a deep breath.

The power of this white python had even reached the peak of the True God Realm, clearly acting as the Guardian of this Spirit Tree.
