Chapter 20: The Miracle Fruit
I don't have the strength to make a barbecue now, so I apologized to Monkey Jun: "You wait for me to rest, I'm so tired and hungry now!"
I don't know if the monkey understands the words, it squeaks at me a few times, and then spends fast into the hole in the giant tree, I look up and smile bitterly, I don't know if it will let me in now, but it's troublesome to think about, if I live with the monkey, there must be a lot of embarrassment.
I was so hungry that my mouth watered, and I suddenly remembered the black fruit hidden under the roots of the tree, maybe I could use it to solve it, I can't care so much, anyway, the monkey brought it, presumably this thing is not poisonous.
Holding the black fruit and looking at the black and shiny skin, I did resist a little in my heart, but the hunger was as uncomfortable as if it was corroding my stomach, so I put the fruit on the trouser tube and rubbed it a few times, then put it in my mouth and took a bite!
Wait! What does this taste like! I was blown away by the taste of the fruit!
Oh my God! This is the third time I've been shocked on the island, and this time the shock is even more violent than the previous one! My whole body trembled with excitement, and the extreme excitement made my brain fall into a state of confusion for a long time!
The green apples and other fruits before were no different from what I ate outside, except that they were crisper and sweeter than those sold in the supermarket, and had more juice, but this black fruit had a strange charm that shocked the soul.
It is salty and salty at first, and when you feel stunned, the tip of your tongue suddenly bursts with sweetness, which is indescribable in words, perhaps it is the saltiness that oppresses the taste, and then the sweetness wakes up the taste buds! Oh my God, this feeling is amazing!
What's even more amazing is that after chewing a few bites of the pulp and swallowing it, a strange power rushes through the brain!
And then the brain was pounded, and fell into some wonderful drunken state, and just as I didn't know why, the power poured down my head into the internal organs of my limbs, and I dripped, oh my God, I was eaten by a fruit! Is this thing carrying some kind of hallucinogenic substance?
The nameless power rushed into my limbs like a tide, and my energy suddenly multiplied, and my whole body jumped on the spot!
I almost bounced on the spot, which is the legendary carp beating or plucking onions on dry land, I never dreamed that I could do such a vigorous move!!
I can't find words to describe it!
I feel that my whole body is extremely light, and the nameless comfort flows through my body like a hot spring!
The hunger and thirst vanished in an instant, and in its place was filled with an abundance of confidence and energy.
Countless imaginations intricately swelled up in the brain, and the surrounding scenery seemed to become clearer, the lines became sharper, the green became greener, and the fresh became more fresh.
I can even see distant scenery that I don't normally see, the details come to life, and the sounds are like panoramic channels, three-dimensional and rich in the ear drums.
I walked to the bottom of the tree with great interest, and began to climb the tree with my hands and feet, and I was so fast that I was as fast as the monkey!
I rub it, I rub it! Could it be that the fruit contains the power of a monkey?
My mind was surging, and I instantly thought of the plot in One Piece, the reason why the characters in it are powerful is because they ate the Devil Fruit, is it that what I ate today is the legendary Devil Fruit?
Soon I climbed to the tree hole, and the monkey looked at me with red eyes, and when he saw that I was stepping on the trunk of the tree, he jumped out of the tree hole and squeaked at me, as if he wanted to invite me in!
It's really a world of difference, it used to roar at me, but now people actually take the initiative to invite, it seems that the monkey also knows that I am its savior.
With a warm touch, I looked at the monkey dwelling again, presumably because of the power of the fruit, I could see the hole in the tree clearly, I could even feel the slender veins hidden in the giant tree, and I could vaguely feel the crystal water flowing slowly along the roots of the tree.
I really don't know what to say, I can only say that I have gone through shit luck and eaten the magic fruit!
Wait, I can't call this fruit a Devil Fruit, so I'll just name it Monkey Fruit, so as to show respect for Monkey King.
Lying in the monkey cave with the smell of fish, I felt a little confused, the previous anger, hatred, sourness, despair, and yearning and liking for Chu Hong gradually faded, and the power flowed in the body, I felt that I was sane and clear, and my emotions were extremely stable and quiet.
The place where they were beaten by Guo Jinhai gradually eased, and the warmth was very useful, and I felt that the place where I was lying was not a simple and dirty tree hole, but a bathtub with surfing in a five-star hotel.
I slept comfortably again, and when I woke up, it was already dark, the green smoke under the tree was still curling, and the monkey didn't know where to run.
But the strange feeling didn't last long, and after about half an hour, the mysterious power faded cleanly, and I returned to my old self, and I became more and more than the same as before, and I carefully climbed down the giant tree and added new wood to the fire.
The piece of snake meat was still on the ground and did not move, but there seemed to be something black and mushy on it, and after a closer look, I wiped it! The snake meat was crawling with black ants! I quickly shook off the ants on the snake meat, and I couldn't help but feel sick again when I thought of Guo Jinhai's spit on it.
I had to find a place to wash, but it was already dark and I couldn't find any water, so I had to wait until the next day.
Sitting under the tree for a long time, my head was still thinking about that strange fruit, whether it contained some natural hormones or ingredients that humans could not understand, but this thing was just thinking, I am not a scientist, I can't analyze these at all, even a scientist can't, after all, there is no equipment on the island.
Miraculously, the Monkey Fruit not only fills the stomach quickly, but also quickly elevates the body to an incredible level, and what is even more shocking is that the fruit seems to have a calming ingredient and makes people feel calm.
It's not a Devil Fruit, but at least it's some kind of magical material!
I must ask the monkey-kun to find the location of the black fruit, so that I can obtain the source of power and live happily on the island.
I think the reason why Monkey Jun left must have been to let me live alone in the tree hole, this guy is really righteous!
I wrapped the snake meat in leaves, and planned to get some sea salt the next day, after all, you must consume salt for a long time, otherwise your body will not be able to stand it.
While I was still in spirit, I took a torch and searched the forest for some dead branches, and in the process of searching I found a few dead trees that had been cut by lightning, the size of a dead wood bowl, and it was covered with many colorful fungi, some blue, some green, and some red, but I did not dare to attack these fungi, because I could not identify whether they were poisonous or not.
I carried the dead wood to the bottom of the giant tree and then smashed them into several pieces with stones, so that the thick dead wood was very fire-resistant, and with the ashes from the burning, it should not be a problem to preserve the source of fire.
The next thing I had was a bit of a headache, and finding water on the island was a hassle, because I had been running for my life all day, and I hadn't seen any puddles or pools along the way, and it would have been terrible if I didn't have fresh water, and I couldn't have survived on coconuts.
After doing all this work, I put the snake meat on my body again and went back to the hollow of the tree, after all, the thing was placed underneath to provoke ants.
I threw the monkey-kun's leaves out of the hole, and I was going to rearrange the hole, but I was lazy again halfway through, so I lay down in the cave and closed my eyes to recuperate.
In the dream, I actually dreamed of Chu Hong, she was taking a bath in a cave, and when the white mist was steaming, I seemed to see her white and dazzling body, and I immediately reacted in an instant.
I really wanted to see her clearly, but I felt that my vision was always in a trance, that person seemed to be Chu Hong, and it seemed to be Tao Tao, and then I wasn't sure who she was at all.
At the crisp sound of birds, I woke up again in the hollow of the tree, the sun was just right outside, the air was as fresh as a beautiful woman's face, and I stretched out in satisfaction.
At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly sounded outside the tree hole!!
