Chapter 196: Strange Fragrance Divine Fruit
After getting off the wooden row, the two continued to run for a while before stopping.
Fan Li said: "Okay, it is estimated that these long worms will not find us." ”
Zimei also said in shock: "Ouch, it's really scary." Why do the insects here chase us when they see it? ”
Fan Li said: "It's not because we robbed them of their things. As he spoke, he took out a few Divine Wood Fruits. The thing was round and smooth, black and shiny. "You see, even if I grab a handful of this fruit, they will chase us with all their lives."
Zimei said: "If it weren't for the two bamboo tubes of Brother Jiang Lun, we wouldn't have been able to run away anyway." ”
Fan Li said: "It was an accident that we were able to escape with our lives. ”
The two sat down side by side, and Zimei said, "Fan Jun, now Shenmu Mountain has been found." We've seen it in Shenmu, but what's the use of that? There are millions of poisonous snakes guarding here, how can we collect the sacred wood? ”
Fan Li sighed and said: "This is a thing, so many poisonous snakes are guarding, even if you send an army of 100,000 people, it will be difficult to cut down a divine wood and a divine tree." We almost died if we didn't even look at it. ”
Zimei said: "The 100,000 army has entered Shenmu Mountain, and I'm afraid there are few who can come out alive." ”
Fan Li said: "We are thinking nonsense. ”
Zimei said, "What should we do? Is it to go back and report? Or do you just figure it out here? ”
Fan Li said: "Go back and report, King Wu still told us to find a way, it's better for us to find a way here." If you don't get rid of these poisonous snakes, you don't want to cut down a sacred tree. ”
Zimei said: "There are too many poisonous snakes, and it is definitely unrealistic to send an army of 100,000 to fight against poisonous snakes." It would be stupid to exchange human lives for snake lives. It's not realistic to poison it. Where do you get so much snake medicine? ”
Fan Li said: "Yes, snake medicine is medicine after all, not growing grain in the ground, so much is harvested at once." ”
Zimei shook her head: "I don't want to, my head hurts." I'm going to get something to eat. After eating, I have the strength to think. ”
That night, they camped under a large tree. In order to avoid the attacks of wild beasts, and especially to prevent the vipers from retaliating, they made a bonfire, and the two of them sat on the cloth that was used as a bed, and chatted while looking at the stars.
The mountains and forests seem to be quiet and beautiful, but those nocturnal animals still bring unexpected dangers.
Fan Li and Zimei have been living in the wild for several months and are used to it. Zimei leaned on Fan Li. Fan Li used a sword to cut a Shenmu fruit, peeled out the kernels, put it on his nose and smelled it, only to feel a strange fragrance coming to his nose.
"Well, it smells good! Can you eat this thing? ”
Zimei said: "Don't eat it yet, in case it is poisonous, it will be bad." Don't you have silver horns in your pocket? Try it with a silver slot, if it is poisonous, the silver slot will turn black. ”
Fan Li said: "That's a good idea. He took out a box of silver horns, pressed them on the kernels of the Shenmu fruit, and after a while, he looked carefully at the firelight, and the color of the silver horns did not change at all. This shows that Shenmu fruit is not poisonous and can be eaten.
Fan Li carefully stuffed half of the kernel into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and felt that his mouth was full of strange aromas, and the fruit was almost all oil. Fan Li gave the other half to Zimei and said, "You taste it." ”
Zimei took it and put it in her mouth, and exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my God, it's delicious, my mouth is full of oil." No wonder those poisonous snakes are guarding to the death, and if they catch a handful, they will fight with us. ”
Fan Li said: "Maybe it's better when cooked." I'll give it a try. As he spoke, he took out a sacred tree fruit, cut it with his sword, peeled out the kernel, and threw it into the fire.
That's when a miracle happened. The kernel suddenly exploded in the bonfire, igniting a huge flame and blazing.
Fan Li and Zimei were taken aback and hurriedly retreated a few feet. The flames of the dead branches that had been picked up were completely suppressed.
The fire that ignited the half of the kernel took a full meal time before it was slowly extinguished.
Fan Li still had half of the nuts in his hand, and threw them into the fire pond casually, and with a "pop" sound, the big flames were ignited again.
Zimei was surprised and said, "Oh my God, such a little nut can ignite such a big flame, and it has been burning for so long. ”
Fan Li said: "I understand, when I ate it just now, I felt that this kernel is full of oil, and it is a very special oil, which not only has a big flame but also burns for a long time." Looking at the fading flames, Fan Li fell into deep thought.
Zimei said: "Fan Jun, what do you want? ”
Fan Li said: "I think of Shenmu Mountain, where the Shenmu fruit is piled up a foot thick everywhere, that is a huge wealth, who knows how much oil can be squeezed." ”
Zimei smiled and said: "Fan Jun, don't think about these useless things, we are here to get Shenmu, and now Shenmu doesn't know how to get it, you have the idea of Shenmu Guo again." ”
Fan Li said: "Shenmu fruit is so flammable, can it be used to remove poisonous snakes?" ”
Zimei clapped her hands and said, "Fan Jun has a good brain, are you saying that if you find a way to ignite these divine wood fruits, you can burn all those poisonous snakes to death, right?" ”
Fan Li said: "Yes, do you think this is okay? ”
Zimei thought for a while and said, "Sounds like a good idea. But there's a catch. Just now you burned the kernels, and the fruits on the ground still have kernels, do you know if those kernels are burned? ”
Fan Li said: "This is easy to do, just try it and you'll know." As he spoke, he took out a Divine Wood Fruit and threw it into the fire.
The two waited for a bang before a burst of fire ignited.
But the fire pit was quiet, and there was no movement at all. After waiting for a while, there was still no movement. Fan Li picked up a branch and pulled the fruit out of the fire, and the fruit didn't even change.
Zimei said: "Hell, why didn't this thing burn?" ”
Fan Li said: "I remember, Dr. Lu Hai introduced that Shenmu is not afraid of fire or water. It turns out that this fruit is not burned. ”
Zimei said: "This is the end, if the fruit is not burned, we will not be able to put this fire out." ”
Fan Li pondered: "If this kernel is stained with kernel oil, will it burn?" ”
Zimei said: "The idea is good, try it!" ”
Fan Li took the sword, cut a fruit, pressed the kernel on the core and rubbed it for a while, and threw it into the fire. A fire ignited with a hula, followed by a bang, and a large flame ignited. Zimei shouted: "Okay, it's successful!" ”
Fan Li smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Zi Meijun, we can't take the kernels to wipe each fruit." ”
Zimei said: "Yes, don't say take the nuts to wipe them, just look at them, those poisonous snakes will kill us." ”
The two of them stopped talking, looking at the bonfire in a daze, Fan Li said: "Now we know that the kernels of the Shenmu fruit are particularly willing to burn, and they will burn when they dip into a little fire, which means that there is oil in this fire, will the kernel detonate when it burns?" ”
Zimei said: "Just try it and you'll know." ”
Fan Li took the sword to cut open a fruit, peeled out the kernel, threw it into the fire, and ignited a big flame with a "poof", and then threw it into a fruit, only to hear a loud "pop", and the core of the fruit was detonated, igniting a bigger flame.
Fan Li threw in another fruit, and there was another explosion, and the flames became even stronger.
Fan Li said: "This proves that only the flame of the burning kernel of the Shenmu Fruit can detonate these Shenmu Fruit." ”
Zimei said: "Yes, Fan Jun, that's it." The nuts are set on fire before they can be detonated. This fire can still be put on. ”。
Fan Li said: "It's useless to set a fire, when the fire here burns, the poisonous snakes have already escaped, and when the fire is extinguished, they come back, we still can't pick the sacred wood." In a very short period of time, a large fire must surround Shenmu Mountain and burn it from all sides to completely eliminate these poisonous snakes. ”
Zimei said: "This is exactly what I can do." Let's go to sleep. Tomorrow I promise to put the fire on it. ”
