From this small detail, it was evident that the strength of these twins surpassed that of the two animals.
No wonder these twin specters, despite being only Level 5, made the four Level 5 animals so wary that they didn't dare directly rush to seize the Special Fruit. It seemed these twin Crimson Specters had some real skills.
This situation caused the surrounding animals and Crimson Specters to quickly distance themselves from Luo Feng. The twin Crimson Specters, now transformed into dogs, were no exception.
Although the two specters didn't know how Luo Feng had managed to turn them into dogs, they understood that in their current state, they had to stay away from him. After transforming into dogs, their strength had been weakened.
They weren't worried about Luo Feng causing them harm; instead, they feared the surrounding Level 5 beasts might attack them. These Level 5 beasts had come here precisely for the Soul Spirit Fruit, while the twins were here to obstruct their goal. Thus, they were in a hostile relationship with these beasts.
This was also why the four Level 5 beasts hadn't launched a full-scale attack on Luo Feng. If they had, they might have posed a life-threatening danger to him. On the other hand, if the twin Crimson Specters used their trump cards, their power would surge dramatically, making it possible for them to kill Luo Feng.
However, because both sides were wary of each other, they could only tentatively test Luo Feng's strength. Seeing these creatures keeping their distance, Luo Feng naturally didn't hold back. He had Black Tortoise continue forward to find a suitable spot to stop.
The scene formed a three-way standoff. All three parties fixed their gazes on the Crimson Tree. In the middle of the tree was a fruit emitting a red glow, though it was still enveloped in red light, its true appearance not yet revealed. This was why the animals could currently look directly at the Special Fruit—the Soul Spirit Fruit hadn't fully matured, and the red light hadn't dissipated.
Though Luo Feng could have used a Clairvoyance Charm to see what the Soul Spirit Fruit actually looked like, he wouldn't do something so troublesome. Instead, he cast an inspection skill on the fruit. He obtained no useful data, only its name: Soul Spirit Fruit. It seemed he'd have to get his hands on it to learn its specific attributes.
However, judging by the Level 5 beasts surrounding it, the value of the Soul Spirit Fruit was undoubtedly immense. For the moment, no one made a move, all quietly waiting.
Time passed quickly.
Three minutes later.
The twin Crimson Specters, transformed into dogs, began to revert to their original forms. They became two identical, stunning women again. Once restored, they glared fiercely at Luo Feng. However, they had no intention of attacking him now.
The Soul Spirit Fruit would mature soon, and if they were turned back into dogs, their combat effectiveness would be compromised.
At that time, if these level 5 beasts took advantage of the opportunity to snatch the Soul Spirit Fruit, it would be an enormous loss for the two of them.
Both of them belonged to the Lecherous Ghost Clan, and this fruit, which greatly aided the soul, held immense significance for them.
If they could obtain the Soul Spirit Fruit this time, there was a high likelihood they could break through to level 6.
So this time, no matter what, they couldn't allow anyone else to take the Soul Spirit Fruit away.
Xiao Huo Huo, hidden within the tiger's body, became even more certain of his thoughts upon seeing this scene.
He mused in his mind:
"It seems Shura's Transformation Ability still has some limitations.
It can only turn others into dogs for a few minutes.
That's still somewhat acceptable.
At least it doesn't permanently turn others into dogs—otherwise, the consequences would be far too terrifying.
But even just this much is an incredibly powerful ability.
The only question is how frequently he can use it?
There must be significant restrictions, surely."
"Disciple, don't overthink it.
What comes next is the most critical moment.
The Soul Spirit Fruit is about to ripen.
When that happens, a red glow will emanate from around the fruit.
At that moment, all creatures nearby will instinctively close their eyes.
Even if they don't, they'll have to avert their gaze from the fruit.
And that will be our best opportunity.
While these creatures aren't focusing on the Soul Spirit Fruit, you must seize the chance to pick it.
The consequences of being exposed to the red light aren't too severe—just take a Mind-Calming Pill to suppress the negative emotions, as long as you don't look directly at the fruit.
There's one more crucial thing—you must not touch the Soul Spirit Fruit with your bare hands.
I've prepared special gloves for you. Wear them before picking the fruit.
If you miss this chance, with so many powerful creatures gathered here,
your odds of obtaining the Soul Spirit Fruit will drastically diminish.
The longer you stay, the greater the danger."
Hearing this, Xiao Huo Huo was startled. He asked in confusion, "Master, this isn't the plan you told me before.
This method sounds incredibly risky.
Even if I manage to get the fruit under these circumstances,
how will I escape from these creatures?
I might end up becoming their shared target."
"Disciple, our original plan was devised under the assumption that Shura wouldn't appear.
Now that he's here, that plan has been completely disrupted.
If we miss this opportunity, an intense battle will break out.
For you, that would be far more dangerous.
But rest assured on one point—
If you can secure the Soul Spirit Fruit, I can get you out of here.
I still have that much ability.
However, using this method comes at a cost.
If you fail to obtain the fruit, you'll have to rely on luck to survive.
Of course, if you're unwilling to take the risk, you can leave right now.
Neither the other humans nor the beasts will stop you."
Xiao Huo Huo's expression turned solemn upon hearing his master's words. This would be an extremely daunting challenge for him.
After a moment of contemplation, he gritted his teeth and said, "Master, I'll do it.
As soon as the Soul Spirit Fruit ripens, I'll go pick it immediately."
