Zhang Chen traded a ton of [Crunchy Fruit] to Zhang Wenwen.
This item didn't even need appraisal.
The description was very clear: it was rich in all the nutrients and vitamins the human body needed.
Furthermore, according to Shirley, there were only four known types of fruits and vegetables in this world currently. Zhang Chen already possessed three of them (Potato Yam, Crunchy Fruit, and Sand Coconut). The last type of fruit was extremely cumbersome to cultivate and had poor yields, so it could be ignored.
Zhang Wenwen immediately sent these fruits to the heads of various sectors through the ring, for them to distribute further.
The Crunchy Fruit contained a large amount of vitamins and should be able to alleviate the illness, holding them over for a while.
Soon, sounds of praise for the True God could be heard from outside.
Previously, their visit to Zhang Chen was mainly out of curiosity and awe.
Now, their voices were genuinely filled with worship and gratitude.
If he weren't a god, who else could produce so much fruit in the post-apocalyptic world where food was scarce?
If he weren't a god, who would be willing to so easily give away a fruit worth over 5,000 [Energy Gathering Crystal Cores]?
In the eyes of the believers, Zhang Chen seemed to be enveloped in a holy light.
Not only was his strength so formidable that he could be called a god, but his character was also selfless, a trait only a god could possess.
Coupled with Zhang Wenwen's previous indoctrination of the believers, they were now even more convinced that Zhang Chen was the reincarnation of a god, destined to lead them to end the apocalypse.
Under these circumstances, forget about them helping to cultivate fruits.
Even if they were asked to die immediately, they wouldn't hesitate in the slightest.
As a few people were talking, Royd shifted its steps, returning to its original position.
It adjusted its posture, turning its head towards the mountains and its back to the foothills.
This was because Mo Ran had just told Royd that their group would be going up the mountain soon.
Therefore, Royd had adjusted its movement direction in advance.
Before long, Er Pang, Xiao Bai, Shirley, Zuo Nan, and two giant armored troop carriers all arrived on Royd's back via the spider web "elevator."
Everyone marveled at Royd's immense size, noting that it even carried half of a city on its back.
Er Pang was very fatigued after the battle; its four legs trembled as it stood on the ground, appearing to be on the verge of collapse.
However, it still firmly bit down on its prey and arduously walked step by step in front of Zhang Chen, before spitting the corpse of the Saber-toothed Tiger onto the ground.
It then wagged its tail as if seeking praise.
Afterward, completely exhausted, it slumped to the ground with a thud, reverting to its smaller form.
"Brother Er Pang didn't let us interfere. Whenever we went over, it would bare its teeth."
"This battle was won by Brother Er Pang alone. Sister Shirley and I were just watching from the sidelines!"
"Brother Er Pang is amazing!"
Xiao Bai explained from the side.
Shirley also nodded and looked at Er Pang with a hint of respect in her eyes.
"Well done!"
Zhang Chen reached out and gently patted Er Pang.
His Absolute Vision saw that the energy lines within Er Pang had become much brighter.
Er Pang had grown stronger through this battle!
Like Xiao Bai, its strength increased faster the more it fought.
He believed that after this experience, they had all made considerable growth, especially Er Pang.
Even when exhausted to the point of collapse, it remembered its mission to bring the corpse to Zhang Chen.
Waiting for Zhang Chen to reclaim it.
Zhang Chen then turned his gaze to the corpse of the Saber-toothed Tiger.
Soon, a familiar prompt slowly rose beside it:
[Corpse of Saber-toothed Tiger depleted of energy. No crystal cores will be obtained by collection!]
Good heavens, it was the same as the battle involving Xiao Bai; the opponent had been completely exhausted to death.
It made sense. The Saber-toothed Tiger's attributes were five times that of its peers. In such a situation, winning through brute force would be almost impossible.
That's why Er Pang had activated its high-consumption summoning mode.
It used the Howling Moon Wolves to constantly probe, while Er Pang analyzed the Saber-toothed Tiger's attack and evasion patterns from the side.
This was to formulate a strategy to defeat the Saber-toothed Tiger.
Although it seemed that this strategy was never formulated, Er Pang had successfully utilized the numerical advantage of the wolf pack to exhaust the Saber-toothed Tiger's last bit of energy.
This could be considered a tactical victory!
"Ruina, I'll have to hand this over to you too!"
Zhang Chen said to Xu Ruina.
"Gladly!"
Xu Ruina walked smilingly to the side of the Saber-toothed Tiger and gently scratched it again with her claw imbued with the mutated virus fluid.
Before long, the zombified Saber-toothed Tiger slowly stood up, its eyes turning a cloudy white, and it let out meaningless growls from its mouth.
"Wow... is this the strength of a Demon Tamer... terrifying!"
"Yeah, I haven't heard of any mutated creatures being infected into zombies along the way. Demon Tamers can infect mutated creatures? Especially such powerful beings of VI Mutation Grade?!"
"Speaking of which, the God's mount is also fierce. Being a mount and being able to kill a Saber-toothed Tiger, it's hard to imagine!"
"No wonder they say it's a True God. Everyone around him is beyond human limits!"
"That's right. I heard from the Pope that this giant spider isn't something she can control, but it will actively find the True God and submit to the God. Look, it's true. Such a terrifying creature, upon seeing the True God, acts like a docile little lamb, going wherever it's told!"
"Fortunately, the True God arrived. This giant spider was running too fast, and I almost thought I was doomed!"
"Thanks to the True God, praising the True God from the bottom of our hearts..."
The surrounding believers, in the buildings along the roadside, peered curiously through the windows at every movement outside.
Every ordinary occurrence around Zhang Chen was something that overturned their worldview.
"Now that everyone is here, let's go directly to the mountain peak and see what the Progress Faction is up to!"
Zhang Chen commanded calmly.
Then, the giant spider slowly began to move, crawling step by step towards the mountain peak...
At this moment, Yan Gang and his group, hiding behind the rocks, were drenched in cold sweat.
"How... how did such a giant creature awaken during the Berserk Beast stage? Such a massive thing, it's likely invincible even in this stage..."
The adjutant said with a pale face.
"Invincible is an overstatement. As long as it doesn't encounter a ferocious beast, there shouldn't be a problem... But it's a pity for Zhang Chen's team..."
"Even though they are all outstanding in strength, facing such a great terror... even he might be powerless..."
"I originally wanted the Legion Commander to have a good chat with Zhang Chen... all of that has become futile."
Yan Gang said with slight regret.
"But it's alright. I've already recorded the story of Zhang Chen's team. Even though they are gone, their legend will surely be passed down in the future!"
The adjutant said with conviction, holding a small notebook.
