These Crimson Specters began frantically absorbing the Red Mist.
The Red Mist contained vast amounts of energy, which was crucial for enhancing their strength.
What made these Crimson Specters even more envious was the Red Mist Crystal.
Any Crimson Specter who consumed this Red Mist Crystal would experience a significant boost in power.
The surrounding animals and humans were all shocked by what was happening around Luo Feng.
They had just been distracted by the anomaly occurring on the Soul Spirit Tree.
These level 5 beasts were well aware of the usual ripening schedule of the Soul Spirit Fruit on the tree.
After all, the Soul Spirit Fruit matured at the exact same time every year.
How it achieved this, none of the animals knew—nor did they care to find out.
All they needed to know was to seize the Soul Spirit Fruit once it ripened.
This time, however, the premature ripening of the Soul Spirit Fruit had left these level 5 creatures baffled.
Fortunately, they had experience in this regard. Noticing the anomaly, they avoided looking directly at the fruit.
Even with their level 5 strength, staring at the Soul Spirit Fruit would have affected them.
After transforming into the Little Eagle-headed Owl, Tang Xuewei could now communicate with the Great Eagle-headed Owl.
Thus, she also knew that one must never gaze directly at the Soul Spirit Fruit.
Yet when the sudden phenomenon occurred, she couldn't help but look toward the glowing light.
Her vision pierced through the crimson radiance.
At the end of the red light, she could see a bright red fruit.
Just as the fruit entered her line of sight, something abruptly blocked her view.
The Great Eagle-headed Owl had used its body to shield Su Yunxi, now in the form of the Little Eagle-headed Owl, from the sight.
Though Su Yunxi hadn't directly looked at the Soul Spirit Fruit, she had come dangerously close.
The negative effects on her were still severe.
Her mind seemed to undergo a sudden, intense stimulation, triggering strange and profound changes.
The lower-level animals around them grew wildly excited upon seeing the red light.
Under its glow, mating would grant them significant benefits.
This was precisely why these weaker creatures had gathered here.
Their levels were too low to have any hope of seizing the Sapience Fruit from so many level 5 beasts.
They weren't here for the feast—just the scraps.
This was how they had operated in previous years as well.
The Twin Red Ghosts didn't interfere with the animals' behavior. In fact, they welcomed it.
When these creatures mated within the Red Mist Zone, they generated a unique energy that enhanced the Crimson Specters' power.
Thus, the specters turned a blind eye to the activities.
Their hostility was reserved solely for the level 5 beasts, who had come to steal their Soul Spirit Fruit—a provocation they would never tolerate.
Naturally, the level 5 animals had no reason to stop the lower-level creatures either.
At this moment, around the Soul Spirit Tree, no fewer than thirty pairs of animals were mating.
Each spot had at least two animals engaged in the act.
Luo Feng paid no attention to these scenes, as his focus was entirely on the Red Mist Crystal.
As he approached the Red Mist Crystal, the surrounding Crimson Specters, though desperately craving it, were even more terrified of the Ice-Fire Energy radiating from Luo Feng.
Luo Feng extended his right hand and firmly grasped the floating Red Mist Crystal.
"Acquired Level 5 Fused Red Mist Crystal: +1"
Ten Thousand-Fold Reward:
"Acquired Level 5 Fused Red Mist Crystal: +10,000"
[Fused Red Mist Crystal]
Level: 5
Description: This is a special Mist Crystal formed from the fusion of the Twin Red Ghosts. It contains an immense amount of energy, nearly equivalent to a Level 6 Mist Crystal. However, this crystal also carries a significant amount of negative energy, which will intensely amplify the desires within your heart.
Those with weak physical constitutions who consume this Red Mist Crystal may perish from overexertion.
A small taste brings pleasure, a large bite harms the body, and forcing it down leads to utter annihilation.
After reading the attributes of the Level 5 Fused Red Mist Crystal, a satisfied smile appeared on Luo Feng's face.
With 10,000 Level 5 Mist Crystals now in his possession, Luo Feng no longer had to worry about Xiao Qian's survival outside.
It seemed Luo Feng's pet collection was about to grow by one.
What abilities did Xiao Qian possess?
How would her body differ from that of a normal human?
This was Luo Feng's first time taking a ghost as a pet.
Without further thought, Luo Feng returned to the back of the Black Tortoise.
The Soul Spirit Fruit was now emitting intense red light, deterring any other creatures from approaching.
Even the Level 5 beasts dared not make a move, still shaken by Luo Feng's earlier display of power.
Their attention was now fixed on Luo Feng.
Even if they attempted to snatch the Soul Spirit Fruit and succeeded, they had no confidence in defeating Luo Feng.
This hesitation left the Level 5 beasts paralyzed with indecision.
After all, the Soul Spirit Fruit wasn't an absolute necessity for them, and risking their lives for it seemed unwise.
Among these Level 5 beasts, three were already considering retreat.
The Tiger-Headed Eagle, the Waspdog King, and the Flame Lion—none of them were originally dogs.
Now that they had been transformed into dogs, their strength had been somewhat diminished.
Most humiliatingly, the Flame Lion—a proud lion—had been turned into a dog. If word got out, where would its dignity go?
The Flame Lion had already decided it couldn't stay here any longer.
But before leaving, it needed to restore its identity from a dog back to a lion.
In its current state, if it returned to its pride, the other lions would never believe it was the Flame Lion.
They might not even give it a chance to explain before tearing it apart.
A dog claiming to be the Flame Lion? Whether true or not, the pride would never allow such a thing to exist.
Among these level 5 creatures, only one hadn't given up.
That creature was the Wind Hound.
It remained completely unaffected, and with its wind-controlling abilities, its speed was exceptionally fast.
If it could obtain the Soul Spirit Fruit, it was confident it could escape from Luo Feng's grasp.
The Wind Hound was currently calculating the perfect moment to strike and seize the Soul Spirit Fruit.
Such treasures that could enhance one's strength were rare even on Mist Island—it had no intention of letting this opportunity slip away.
Meanwhile, Su Yunxi, who had transformed into a Little Eagle-headed Owl, was experiencing strange and profound changes in her mind due to the influence of the Lustful Mist and the Soul Spirit Fruit.
Right now, all she wanted was...
