"Natural?"

Du Zhong was stunned.

The last time he came to the Unknown Land, he really thought that the strange orchard was ownerless, so he would enter it to pick strange fruits, but when he knew that the strange orchard belonged to the Xia family, he deliberately observed it, and found that the entire strange orchard was unusually neat, and the terrain was extremely flat, which was obviously the land that had been integrated by people.

But now, Xia Ningyu said that the strange orchard is natural.

Isn't that contradictory?

"That's right."

Xia Ningyu nodded affirmatively and said, "I don't know when, anyway, when our Xia family first entered the Unknown Land, we discovered the location of this strange orchard, and later, after generations of transformation, the strange orchard became what it is now." ”

"If the strange fruits can be planted and cultivated, how can the strange fruits in the strange orchard be so mixed?"

Speaking of this, Xia Ningyu stopped.

"It's not an ordinary difficulty to grow strange fruits."

Xia Jinyi also shook her head and sighed softly.

From his words, it is not difficult to see that the Xia family has also spent a lot of money on cultivating strange fruits.

"That being said, I'm here all the time, I can't just go back, right?"

Du Zhong shook his head with a smile and said, "If you can plant and cultivate, let's go and see first." ”

Xia Ningyu and Xia Jinyi glanced at each other and laughed helplessly.

"I'll go with you."

Xia Ningyu spoke.

"Okay."

Du Zhong nodded.

Then, under the eyes of Xia Jinyi, the two of them flew out of the bamboo forest and walked towards the Xia Jiaqi orchard.

Not for a while.

The two of them came to the strange orchard.

"Squeak ......"

Xiao Bai, who had been hiding in Du Zhong's arms, suddenly stuck his head out of Du Zhong's neckline, chirped excitedly and glanced around, and then jumped on Du Zhong's shoulder with a whoosh.

"Little one, your task is to find strange fruits that can be planted, and none of the strange fruits in this can be touched, you know?"

Du Zhong admonished.

"Squeak!"

Xiaobai nodded in response.

"Huh?"

Seeing Xiaobai, Xia Ningyu suddenly became curious, staring at Xiaobai with her eyes.

"What is this, that it can understand people?"

Xia Ningyu asked.

"I understand."

Du Zhong nodded, looked at Xiaobai, and said, "As for what kind of creature it is, I really don't know. ”

"It's strange, I've read all the ancient books in my family since I was a child, and the detailed chapters of the beasts in them can be memorized backwards, but I've never seen this kind of creature."

Xia Ningyu was amazed.

Although I was very curious, I didn't ask much.

After all, everyone has their own secrets, and if Du Zhong wanted to say it, he would naturally tell him, and taking the initiative to ask would lead to suspicion of whether there were other intentions.

"Go ahead."

Du Zhong touched Xiaobai's head, and then gave an order.

"Huh."

Almost as soon as Du Zhong's words fell, Xiao Bai's legs kicked on Du Zhong's shoulders, instantly turning into an afterimage and shooting out.

"Whoosh ......"

After running around the strange orchard at an extremely fast speed, Xiaobai slowed down and began to look for it.

I can't eat it though.

But in the sea of strange fruits, Xiaobai has been extremely excited for a long time, and he is very happy when he looks east and west.

Du Zhong and Xia Ningyu talked about each other.

Half an hour.

"Squeak!"

Xiaobai returned to Du Zhong's shoulder, and shook his head while chirping.

"No?"

Eucommia raised an eyebrow.

The reason why he brought Xiaobai here was because of Xiaobai's ability to sense treasures.

Xiaobai said no, then there must be none.

"Did I tell you?"

Xia Ningyu spread her hands and said, "We have tried all these strange fruits, and it is impossible to cultivate and cultivate them. ”

"Really?"

Frowning tightly, as soon as Du Zhong's body moved, he soared up, flying on the strange orchard, carefully observing each strange fruit.

Saw.

These plants with strange fruits are different from ordinary plants.

Some resemble grass, some resemble landscape trees, and some even resemble a flower.

These strange fruits have a small chance of growing because of the special terrain and climate, as well as the energy nourishment before germination.

If you want to cultivate it, you can't do it unless you find a normal strange fruit.

But.

What is normal?

While flying, Eucommia carefully observed each strange fruit.

Just when Du Zhong flew to the deepest part of the strange orchard, helplessly preparing to turn around and return.

"Squeak!"

Suddenly, Xiao Bai, who had been sitting on Du Zhong's shoulder, stood up suddenly, and while pointing his small front paws forward, he opened his mouth and shouted.

"Over there?"

Du Zhong hurriedly turned his head.

I saw that the direction that Xiaobai was pointing to was the mountain behind the strange orchard.

This mountain is extremely majestic and has the potential to enter the clouds.

The mountain is also quite huge.

The location of the strange orchard is only a small natural valley on the edge of the mountain.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Ningyu also followed up and asked out loud.

"I think there's a discovery, right?"

Du Zhong grinned.

As soon as the words fell.

"Huh!"

Xiaobai couldn't wait to jump, and it was like the wind, rushing directly into the high mountain behind the valley.

Eucommia also immediately followed.

"According to the records of the clan, there is nothing in this mountain at all, the essence of the entire mountain is gathered in this strange orchard, and every three years, the clan will send people into the mountain to inspect, if there is anything in it, it should have been discovered a long time ago."

Xia Ningyu muttered and followed.

He used to be one of the mountain seekers.

He was also quite familiar with this mountain, and he could confirm with certainty that there were no strange treasures in the mountain.

But how could Xiaobai rush in so excitedly?

Why is Eucommia so sure that there is a discovery?

Could it be that something in the mountains has been missed?

Following behind Du Zhong, Xia Ningyu moved forward with a familiar car.

Ahead, Xiao Bai turned into a white light and rushed into a forest like a bamboo.

"Huh?"

Following behind Du Zhong and Xiao Bai, Xia Ningyu's face changed slightly.

He had also come to inspect this forest.

But only on the periphery.

Because the clan reported all year round, there was nothing in the mountains and forests, and every time he only patrolled the periphery, he didn't even enter the deepest part of the mountain forest.

"Could it be ......?"

As if sensing something, Xia Ningyu's face changed slightly, and she immediately looked ahead.

Saw.

Xiaobai, who had been leading the way ahead, had already rushed out of the mountains and forests.

Through the fine branches and leaves, a rugged mountain spring water flow met Xia Ningyu's eyes.

"Mountainside?"

Seeing the landscape, Xia Ningyu was relieved.

This place, he had been here before, the water of the mountain spring flowed from the inside of the mountain, and there was nothing near here except this mountain spring.

"Squeak!"

Just as Du Zhong and Xia Ningyu rushed out of the mountain forest, Xiao Bai stopped by the mountain spring, stretched out his front paws and pointed ahead, a dense area of thorns.

Seeing this, Du Zhong didn't talk nonsense.

The energy in the body moves.

"Huh."

With a movement of the palm wind, one after another energy blades flew out, completely slashing down the dense thorny jungle.

"Squeak Squeak......"

Xiaobai shouted excitedly.

"Hidden deep enough, huh?"

As the thorns scattered, the corners of Du Zhong's mouth couldn't help but hook.

"There's a cave here?"

Xia Ningyu was also surprised, and said, "This used to be a complete rock wall, how could it be?" ”

In front of me, there is indeed a rock wall.

It's just that on the rock wall, there is a crack one meter high and half a meter wide, through which the two of them can clearly see that there is a green grass at that end.

Among them, there is also a faint trace of energy diffused out.

"Wouldn't you just go in and have a look?"

Du Zhong grinned.

Immediately took Xiaobai, flew out, and rushed directly through the crack.

Xia Ningyu also followed.

Rush through the cracks.

It is a very small, round meadow.

The meadow is surrounded by weathered rock formations, and the ground is littered with rocks that are almost turning to sand.

"This is supposed to be a naturally formed cave in the mountain."

Observing the surroundings, Du Zhong opened his mouth and said.

"Yes."

Xia Ningyu nodded in agreement.

The rocks on the ground were apparently weathered and fell, which caused this whole patch of grass to grow in the caves.

"Squeak!"

Xiaobai's cry came.

Both turned their heads at the same time.

At the edge of the meadow, in the darkness below the rock formation, there was a unique plant growing, which was no different from ordinary small fruit trees.

And on the fruit tree, there was also a bright purple fruit that emitted a faint light.

"Odd fruit?"

Du Zhong and Xia Ningyu glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes.

"Roar!"

Just then, a roar suddenly came.

"Squeak!"

Xiaobai also shouted without fear.

As two cries rang out.

Not far from the strange fruit, in a stone cave in the rock formation, a pair of eyes emitting purple light suddenly appeared.

"Guardian Beast?"

Du Zhong was stunned.

He didn't expect that in such a place, there would actually be a guardian beast.

"What is this?"

Xia Ningyu was also stunned.

Saw.

Out of the dark stone cave was an animal similar to a Tibetan mastiff, the animal was covered with gray and black hair, and on its four toes, the arc-shaped claws were almost a finger long, and the tips of the claws were as dazzling as embroidery needles.

A pair of purple eyes.

There are two black lines that look like tears, and the lines extend to the mouth and connect to the nose.

in its mouth.

It is not like an ordinary canine, with two rows of sharp teeth, but like a cactus, full of thin, small, sharp teeth.

The teeth are extremely dense.

Even the tongue grows.

It was terrifying.

"How can there be such an animal on the mountain of our Xia family?"

Xia Ningyu was stunned.

Not to mention him, I'm afraid that all the people of the three major families of the Unknowable Land don't know the existence of this place.

Is this unknowable, their territory?

"Squeak Squeak......"

Here, as soon as the guardian beast appeared, Xiaobai immediately lay down on his stomach, put on an angry look, and shouted at the guardian beast......
