Chapter 39: The Devil's Fruit

Aishara opened the magic shield and wrapped Jing Ran and her inside, and the rubble crackled and fell on the magic shield, and was gently flicked back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The three orcs rushed up against the rubble, and it was probably not the first time they had done so, and the stone hit on their thick skin did not cause any real damage.

The old orc took the lead, and he didn't know when, but there was a hook with a unique shape, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the small iron hook in front of the wooden handle hooked the black shadow that was about to burrow back into the ground.

The old orc stretched out his other hand and grabbed one of the rattans of the thing.

"Hey~" The orc shouted, only to see a piece of green tendons bulging on his thick arms, and his two feet stepped on the ground and pulled back vigorously.

At this time, the other two orcs also arrived, and together they dragged the creature out of the ground.

Jing Ran only saw the whole picture of this thing this time, this thing looks like a dryad in a European magic movie, with a relatively thick torso, a big mouth full of sharp teeth on the torso, and countless branches on the body.

Dragged out of the soil by three orcs, this thing struggled desperately, making a strange cry of "wow~wow~" from its mouth, and kept beating the three orcs who were pressing it with the branches on its body.

It can be seen that the three of them are very experienced in capturing this thing, two orcs pressed the trunk of the dryad one after the other to prevent it from breaking free and biting people, and the other orc took a knife and quickly cleaned up the branches of the dryad's body.

As the branches were cleared, the dryad's cry faded.

Jing Ran's heart was unbearable, he hadn't even seen a chicken killed, and hesitated whether to let the orcs stop.

Before he could speak, the orc, who had finished cleaning the branches, swiped on the back of the dryad, stretched out two hands and pulled the cracked bark, and the dryad was completely silent.

Jing Ran finally couldn't resist his curiosity and leaned over. The dryad may really be a plant, and from the peeled torso, Jing Ran didn't see anything like blood or organs.

The bottom of the rough bark is actually white, something like the flesh of the fruit, and I think this thing is quite delicious from the senses.

"Is this what you call the Devil's Fruit?" Jing Ran asked

Aishara shook her head and explained to Jing Ran, "The trunk of the dryad looks like fruit flesh, but it can't be eaten, this thing is highly poisonous, and it can make people go crazy after eating."

I'll go! It's so dangerous, and sure enough, magical creatures are not easy to mess with.

Aisara explained that "the real fruit is born in the inside of the torso"

The orc, who had cleaned the torso, dubbed back and forth in the dryad's stomach, then took out potato-sized black fruits from the dryad's body and threw them into a cloth bag prepared by his companion.

He followed up and checked, and this dryad had a total of 12 Devil Fruits on it.

Several orcs cheered, generally such a big dryad can only produce 8~10 fruits, but I didn't expect this one to have 12.

The old orc took out a fruit from the bag, tore it on the top of the fruit with his other hand, revealing the red and white flesh, and handed it to Jing Ran.

However, Jing Ran looked at the thick black mud on the old orc's nails and decisively refused.

The old orc saw that Jing Ran didn't eat it, so he had to swallow the fruit into his mouth and chew it.

Jing Ran looked at the way he was chewing full of juice, and couldn't help but wonder, is this thing really so delicious?

He couldn't help but reach out and grab at the bag, and Azhara saw his movements and quickly stopped him

"Brother Jingran, be careful"

But it was too late, as soon as Jing Ran put his hand in, he felt that his finger was bitten by something, and he quickly pulled his hand out,

I saw a black fruit, biting tightly on his tiger's mouth, this thing seemed to be sucking blood, and its body was pumping and growing.

Jing Ran was startled, grabbed the Devil Fruit with his other hand and pulled it hard, throwing it to the ground. However, instead of being killed, the Devil Fruit screamed and disappeared.

A row of fine wounds had been bitten out of his hand, and red blood was pouring from the wounds.

Aishara quickly ran over and grabbed his hand, "Oops, it's all bleeding"

"It's okay, what is this injury" Jing Ran said indifferently,

However, Aisara still released a simple healing technique to Jing Ran, although Aisara is a fire mage, but she is at the level of an archmage, such a little wound, under her healing technique, immediately stopped the bleeding.

Jing Ran asked her strangely, "What happened to that just now?" "Why did he come back to life when he grabbed that fruit, and even bit him.

Aisara smiled and explained, "Brother Jingran, you see this thing has to be caught like this."

I saw Aisha stretch out her hand and pinch the two raised small fleshy wings on the fruit with two fingers, and sure enough, the fruit only moved in Aishara's hand, but did not bite. She pinched the top of the fruit with her other hand, and with a gentle tug, the peel was taken down by her.

Aishara shoved the red and white flesh into Jing Ran's mouth.

"Hmm", it's delicious!

I didn't expect this thing with such an ugly appearance to taste so good!

It tastes different from everything else he's ever eaten, the juice is abundant, and it tastes like a little Q, and the more you chew it, the more it tastes. At the end of the meal, my mouth was filled with a special fragrant fragrance.

The more I eat, the more I want to eat. Jing Ran wouldn't catch this thing, he was afraid of biting his hand, so he asked Aishara to help him peel another one.

Jing Ran asked Aishara strangely, "This thing is so delicious, why haven't you seen it in the restaurant?"

Aisara said that although the Devil Fruit is delicious, it is also the seed of the Dryad, although it is not as toxic as the Dryad, but it itself is also poisonous, and it is easy to make illusions if you eat too much, which will cause vomiting, fever and other symptoms.

It's poisonous! He was so frightened that he almost spit out the devil fruit in his mouth, but he couldn't bear the taste, and since Aisara peeled it for him, it shouldn't be a problem to eat two.

Seeing Jing Ran's embarrassment, Aisara explained with a smile, "Brother Jing Ran, it doesn't matter if you eat two, don't eat any more." ”

Aishara told Jing Ran that in order to eliminate the toxicity of the Devil Fruit, the ancestors of the dungeon tried many methods, and at first everyone chose to cook it with water. Although the Devil Fruit is not poisonous after cooking, the taste has become surprisingly stinky, like carrion, and it is impossible to eat at all.

Later, it was discovered that after roasting it over fire, it could also eliminate the toxicity of Devil Fruits, although the taste was much worse, but it was also an additional food source for dungeons where food was scarce.

"And it also has a function," said Aishara, "the Devil Fruit can also replenish spiritual power, but unfortunately you can't eat too much."

Hearing Aisara mention this, Jing Ran closed his eyes and felt it carefully, and found that his spiritual power was really slowly replenishing. This thing is completely blue, but the side effects are too great.

Jing Ran still didn't understand one thing, he asked Aishara, "Why is the Devil Fruit okay in the bag, why does it come back to life as soon as I catch it?"

"The Devil Fruit can't touch flesh and soil, you see just now you threw it to the ground, it immediately ran away, and in a few days it will grow into another little dryad."

Aishara pulled the orc who had broken the trunk of the dryad just now, pointed to his hand, and said to Jing Ran, "Brother Jing Ran, look. He's wearing gloves, and if you have this thing, you won't wake up the Devil Fruit."

So that's it, it's amazing.

Anyway, the purpose of this trip was completed, Jing Ran asked the old orc to ask for the few remaining Devil Fruits, and left with Aishara on the magic carpet.
