Chapter 489: The Great Red Fruit Tree
Jingyang, Yi Qingfeng and others stepped into the dense forest with great interest, as the rat king said, there are indeed some rare exotic flowers and plants in the mountains and forests, these flowers and plants have their own characteristics, and they are not very attractive to people who come into contact for the first time. As women, these beautiful flowers and plants naturally attracted Hua Changyue, Lu Fang and others to stop and watch, they would look here and there for a while, their faces were full of joy.
The mood of Jingyang, Yi Qingfeng, Zhong Jialei and others was much calmer, these strange flowers and trees were not too new to them, they had seen a lot of them during their previous visit to the mansion of the King of Ten Thousand Souls.
Everyone watched these flowers and trees in the mountains and forests for a while, after all, there is still a heavy responsibility in the body, it is not appropriate to stay too long, the rat king said: "Everyone should see it, we are not here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, we have to continue to hurry." ”
Now that the Rat King has given the order, everyone has to put away these ornamental flowers and plants, and move forward honestly one by one. Everyone walked all the way, and in the blink of an eye, it was already sunday, and everyone who had been walking for half a day was also a little tired, and at the same time, there was a feeling of hunger in their stomachs.
Bai Qinghong and Yi Xiaru, who were walking at the back of the team, took the lead in stopping their footsteps and said, "Oh, I can't walk anymore, it's time for dinner, why don't you eat and drink enough before you go?"
The others felt the same way, so they stopped and rested. Everyone took out the dry food prepared in the baggage to eat and drink, Jingyang and Yi Qingfeng sat together, and next to him was the Rat King, Jingyang said while eating: "Rat King, you said that there may be spiritual fruits in this mountain forest, we have also walked for a long time, and we have seen a lot of flowers and plants, why haven't we seen delicious spiritual fruits?"
The Rat King said: "Look at what you asked, this king said that there may be spiritual fruits, as for whether you can meet it, it depends on your creation, and it is normal that you have not met it now, where is this thing said to be there." ”
Yi Qingfeng said: "That's it, we've only been on the road for half a day, and the days to come are still long, maybe one day we will meet them." ”
Zhong Jialei, who was not far away, said: "Jingyang, I think you are too greedy, you want to eat the spirit fruit after only half a day?"
Jingyang said angrily: "Of course I want to eat it, the spirit fruit is delicious in the world, everyone think about the taste of Tie Linglong, don't say that you don't want to eat it." ”
Speaking of Tie Linglong, everyone feels that its taste is wonderful, if you can eat one now, it will be able to feast everyone's mouth, but unfortunately the dozens of Tie Linglong harvested from the Mingcheng cottage have already been eaten by everyone, and now they can only taste it.
Don't say that Tie Linglong is okay, when it comes to Tie Linglong, Hua Changyue suddenly felt that the dry food in her hand was not a taste, she ate a few bites and stopped eating, and Lu Fang next to her said: "Sister Yue, aren't you hungry, why don't you eat so much, and you will have to hurry later, don't starve yourself." ”
Hua Changyue said: "It's okay, I won't have much appetite for this, you eat yours, leave me alone." ”
Lu Fang wondered: "Why don't you have an appetite, aren't you usually quite able to eat, shouldn't you be sick?"
Hua Changyue smiled bitterly: "No, you don't have to worry about it, I just don't want to eat it." ”
Everyone stayed in place for about an hour, and the people who had eaten and drunk continued to hurry, and as they went deeper into the dense forest, the scene in front of them also changed, more tall and large trees appeared in front of them, and the spirit fruit that everyone was looking forward to finally appeared.
I saw a big tree with lush branches in front of me, this tree is as high as thirty or forty meters, the trunk is also very thick, at a glance it is said that there is a thickness of three or four people hugging, such a big tree its root system is very developed, the naked eye can see a large number of roots that are slightly thicker than ordinary people's arms from the soil, and on the big tree is full of many cyan fruits that are the size of a bowl.
Such tall trees are displayed in front of them, even in the mountains and forests full of big trees, everyone can't help but be amazed, and everyone approaches to watch without saying a word. The crowd looked around the tree for a while, and then began to talk about it, some asking about the name of the tree, some about the fruit on the tree, and these questions were undoubtedly thrown at the rat king.
The Rat King said calmly: "Everyone, this tree is a common fruit tree in the spiritual realm, its name is the big red fruit tree, it is named because its fruit is big and red, this big red fruit flesh is sweet and soft, the entrance feeling is excellent, it can be regarded as a famous spiritual fruit in the spiritual realm, it seems that you have a good mouth this time." ”
As soon as the Rat King said this, Jingyang, Yi Qingfeng and others suddenly bloomed with joy on their faces, for them, there are very few opportunities to eat the spirit fruit, last time it was thanks to the Rat King who had been busy in the Mingcheng cottage for two or three months, and now seeing the spirit fruit in front of them, their excitement can be imagined.
Everyone looked at the sturdy and plump cyan fruits on the big tree, and Hua Changyue was slightly puzzled: "Rat King, you said that these fruits are called big red fruits, but they are obviously cyan, why is that?"
The Rat King said: "This is obvious, like many fruits in the world, the growth of spirit fruits also has to go through time, at this time they have not yet reached the ripening stage, and when they are ripe, they will turn red." ”
Everyone suddenly realized: "I see, how long will it take for this fruit to ripen?"
The Rat King said: "It will take about ten days and a half months." ”
For such a rare spirit fruit, not to mention ten days and a half months, even if it is worth waiting for a year and a half, everyone said in a loud voice: "Then let's set up camp nearby, and wait for this big red fruit to ripen before moving forward." ”
Everyone had made up their minds, so they found a suitable place to build a camp nearby, there are many timbers and stones in the mountains and forests, these things are perfect for building a camp, everyone has a division of labor, some people cut wood, some people quarry, some weed...... The scene was a busy scene.
Time passed little by little, in a blink of an eye it was nightfall, after everyone's hard work, a camp that looked like appeared near the tall big red fruit tree, everyone stood in the camp full of joy, although the body was tired, but the heart was beautiful, one came to have a place to stay, the other can guard the spirit fruit tree, as long as you wait for ten days and a half to taste the delicious red fruit, the joy in their hearts can be imagined.
That night, everyone settled in the newly built camp, and the originally quiet and desolate mountain trees became much more lively because of their arrival, and laughter could be heard from the camp from time to time.
