Chapter 67: Fire Berries
Humans are one of the higher creatures in today's plane, with their own thinking logic, and they always have a certain curiosity about the unknown. Under the influence of certain factors, there will always be some peculiar ideas and something that does not conform to reality.
If you succeed, you will be talked about by others. If you fail, you will be crushed by the wheel of time, and finally drowned in the torrent of history.
There is no doubt that Chen Yichen belongs to the lower creatures among the higher organisms. Always at critical moments, the brain will be unexpectedly short-circuited. To say that it is elegant is stubborn, commonly known as stupid, and then vulgar is to lack heart.
At this moment, if you are an ordinary person, in the face of such a situation, you will measure your cultivation and make a decision. Chen Yichen is different, he doesn't even know his own cultivation, he has already made a decision, and more importantly, his light skills are stunned by what he has just figured out.
Whether the artist is bold or young. Chen Yichen made up his mind and was determined to go to the boulder in the center of the lava pool to have a look.
I walked around and found a location that I felt was quite satisfying. Jumped lightly under his feet, took a deep breath, looked at the boulder in front of him, gritted his teeth, slammed his toes, jumped into the air towards the boulder, and the whole person flew up from the ground.
As the saying goes, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, they prefer to go to the tiger mountains. Chen Yichen interprets this sentence very well.
The thin body rose flat on the ground, forming an arc, and after crossing the sky above the hot magma, the body began to fall. Looking at Chen Yichen's face again, it gradually became stiff, and his eyes couldn't be bigger.
"Oops, not in control. Chen Yichen secretly said that it was not good, and he was about to pass by the boulder, and at the moment when his body was about to fall into the magma, he quickly concentrated his internal force on one hand and grabbed the boulder.
At the last moment, with the surging internal force, his hand grabbed the edge of the stone. It is also thanks to him that he was not afraid of danger and made adjustments in time. One step later, by this time the person has been reduced to ashes.
didn't dare to stay at all, Chen Yichen quickly gathered the internal force in his hands, but he didn't dare to use too much force, worried that if he crushed the stone, he would end up with no bones.
Climbing the boulder extremely carefully, Chen Yichen sat on the ground, vaguely feeling that his legs couldn't help but tremble. At that moment, I felt the danger of death for the first time, and timidity appeared in my heart.
I don't know if it's hot or nervous, I just feel a body of white sweat gushing out of the pores of my body, and I wipe the sweat beads on my forehead, and then I feel dry mouth. A few breaths came out of his mouth, and finally calmed his heart a little, and then he took a closer look at the situation on the stone.
The whole stone is irregular cylindrical, about three zhang in diameter, and the height of the magma is about three zhang. The stone is concave in the center and is funnel-shaped. In the middle of the funnel, a large stone looks somewhat similar to a trumpet flower, but the protruding part is more like a stamen.
The reason why it looks like a stamen is that in the middle of the funnel, there is a plant that looks like a stamen, more than one person tall, and several things like branches, which are golden yellow from top to bottom. What's even more peculiar is that on the branches of the branches, there are five golden round spheres scattered around, which are almost the same size as Yali pears.
"I didn't expect the stones here to be so peculiar, just like the trees, just a few leaves. Seeing the following situation, Chen Yichen couldn't help but sigh. As soon as the words fell, the whole person was suddenly stunned, stared at it again, and lost his voice: "Is it just a tree?" ”
Three steps and two steps, Chen Yichen came to the front. Only then did I realize that where was the stone, this was a tree that grew in the crevices of the stones, and the roots of the tree broke out of the stones, which was the thickness of an arm.
"There are trees here. Chen Yichen was surprised, in such an environment, surrounded by hot and hot magma, without the slightest irrigation of water, it was unbelievable that it could grow in a desperate situation.
Chen Yichen's wide-eyed eyes looked carefully at the scene in front of him, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand. Worried that it was too hot, he could only slowly approach the trunk of the tree, and did not feel the heat wave, so he touched it lightly. Except for a warm breath, and in the absence of any feeling, suddenly relaxed.
Cautiously raising his hand, he gently pinched the unknown orb on the branch, and it felt a little soft, as if it was the fruit of a tree. If you look closely, a scent pours into your nostrils, refreshing your heart. hesitated, but in the end, he couldn't hold back and tugged lightly. The ball hanging from it silently broke away from the branch and was held in his hand.
He drew a short sword and lightly slashed a few times on it. After the thin skin is cut, the fragrance is overflowing, revealing the golden flesh inside, as if it can be broken.
Chen Yichen swallowed dryly, stared at the object in his hand, slowly raised his hand, and approached his mouth. I can't help but stick out my tongue, lick it, and savor it in my mouth, only to feel a sweetness lingering among my taste buds.
"Such a big pear? Chen Yichen smashed his mouth and didn't feel any discomfort. The tip of his tongue licked his chapped lips, opened his mouth, and bit down on the object in his hand.
Secretly sighing at the wonder of everything in the world, who would have thought that in this hot magma that there is no drop of water, there are plants growing. Until this time, Chen Yichen had a devastating subversion of everything in the world.
The fruit he called an orange was actually called a fire berry. Magical vegetation that is rare in the world. The existence of fire berries is an accident and is hard to find. It only survives and adversity, and dryness and heat are the necessary conditions for its growth, and it is fed by absorbing special substances in magma.
Since the beginning of Pangu, less than 100 people have been lucky enough to see fire berries, the size of eggs. With such a big fire berry in Chen Yichen's hand, there are even fewer people who have seen it.
Legend has it that the fire berry was eaten by Nuwa in ancient times when she mended the sky, and the scattered fire berry grains were left on the earth, and I don't know how many years of gestation they took root and sprouted. I don't know how many years of growth took before it blossomed and blossomed and bears young fruits.
The flowers bear fruit instantly, and the young fruits are green at first, the size of a thumb. After 500 years of turning green, walnut size. After thousands of years to turn orange, the size of an egg. After two thousand years of gold, the size of a pear. After another 2,000 years of turning red, it will mature naturally.
It takes 5,500 years for a naturally ripening fire berry to bloom until it ripens. The young fruit can be eaten only when it turns green, and the green fruit is green and astringent, which can strengthen the body. Orange fruit is tasteless and can prolong life. The sweetness of the golden fruit food can refine its physique. The red fruit side is the best, and it has the effect of reviving the dead.
Of the five fire berries hanging on the tree, Chen Yichen swallowed three in a blink of an eye, and wiped his mouth with unfinished wiping, not that he didn't want to eat it, but his stomach was really uncomfortable.
This is not a steamed bun, you can eat three or five in one go. You must know that when ordinary people are hungry, the hunger in their stomachs will disappear after eating two mouthfuls of fire berries. Chen Yichen ate three in a row in one go, can he not hold on.
Human nature is more or less greedy, and Chen Yichen is certainly no exception. Looking at the remaining two fire berries, I couldn't bear to leave them alone on the tree, so I finally picked them and put them in my arms.
