Chapter 29: I see

"I see."

In a safe place, Liu Zhi had already gone through the contents of Perkin's bag, and at this time, he had already pieced together the purpose of Perkin's trip through various clues.

Unlike Liu Zhi, who used all kinds of parchment to record maps and materials, Perkin had money and status, and in his bag, in addition to high-calorie food and a few luminous items that were not of apparent use, he also had a notebook that was quite rare in this era.

That notebook was made of normal paper, and Liu Zhi was more accustomed to it, but in this era, there are really not many of these things, and the texture is not as good as this notebook.

There is a lot of information written on the notebook, and there are some patterns.

As you can see from the above, Perkin is dying.

He must have had some serious illness, he had less than three weeks to live, and his only hope now was a plant in the middle of the jungle.

The plant has never been brought out, and the local natives call it 'Namuda', which means a bloody tree, and according to legend, this tree is usually similar to an ordinary tree, and there is no way to distinguish it from the leaves or other aspects.

The only information we know is that the tree grows on the edge of a cliff and waterfall, and it needs a lot of water and air to grow.

Every seven years, when the fifteenth month of the seventh month is full, the tree will produce a red flower in three days, and all the leaves will fall at the same time, and it will become a red tree.

In the moonlight, the tree looks like a blood-colored tree, which is why the locals call it the 'Tree with Blood'.

And what really attracts Perkin is not the flower of the tree, but the fact that after flowering, the tree will grow a fruit like a peach.

The fruit is not large, only the size of a thumb, but it has the effect of inhibiting diseases and prolonging life.

Perkin only needs a few fruits for his illness to be alleviated, and if he gets all the fruits this time, then he may even live forever.

Looking at the ambitions recorded in the notebook, Ryuji couldn't help but shake his head.

It seems that this is the goal of Perkin's trip, on the one hand, to save his life, and on the other hand, to his future power, this kind of thing to bring to human society, it can definitely become a stepping stone to open the upper class.

Those who are rich and powerful will put all their resources into it for the sake of life.

But what does that have to do with me?

Flipping through the contents of the back of the notebook, Liu Zhi put the notebook away, immortality means nothing to him, and the power of this world is even more so.

He will only stay in this world for a maximum of 180 days, even if he can develop great power, what is the use.

On the contrary, the Golden City is more attractive to him, at least the existence of the Golden City is related to his identity and compulsory tasks.

So this kind of notebook, which can be regarded as a treasure for some adventurers in this world, was put at the bottom of the backpack by Liu Zhi.

It was something else in Perkin's backpack that caught Ryuji's attention.

The two items that Perkin had taken out of his backpack had proved that those glowing items weren't ordinary items.

So Ryuji was more curious about what the rest of the things were.

Now there are a total of four items in the bag, and Ryuji does not underestimate them because of their inconspicuous appearance, but puts them away very seriously and carefully.

Each of these four items is the skin of an unknown beast, and the fur on the other side looks quite fresh.

A quill like a thing, the color of the feather is very normal white, the note has been decorated with copper, it looks like it can be used for a long time, if it weren't for the white light emitted on this thing, Liu Zhi would even think that this is used with that notebook.

A tube that looks like lipstick, Liu Zhi was a little skeptical at this time, and they didn't study lipstick in this era.

Finally, there was a kettle-like thing, which was pure silver, and it was carved with some patterns of ancient mythology, and it shook gently, and there were some sounds in it.

Without knowing what was inside, Ryuji had no intention of taking a look.

After putting everything away, Ryuji simply dismantled Perkin's backpack.

He found two things that looked like title deeds through the cracks in his backpack, and when he looked closely, he found that they were actually the title deeds of a nearby port, and he didn't know if this was Perkin's last preparation, or if it was his secret base.

After confirming that no other items were missing, Liu Zhi put his backpack back on his back, took out the map and checked the direction, and headed in the direction of the Golden City.

Meanwhile, Perkin and Lloyd were cautiously walking slowly through the jungle.

Perkin's face was a little blue and his lips were a little purple, but he still tried to walk and not let himself stop.

Lloyd, who was holding Perkin, said, "Uncle, why don't we go back." ”

"No, we have all come here, I am unwilling not to move forward, besides, are you willing, this is the hope of our family to rise again."

"But so many of us have gone into the jungle, and now there are only two of us left, and I am worried about ......"

"There's nothing to worry about, all the information is in my head, and as long as we can walk, we will definitely be able to walk under the bloody tree."

"No, uncle, it's not that I'm worried about, you've seen it along the way, there are so many giant snakes, I'm worried about whether there's something wrong with this."

Perkin laughed when he heard this, "Do you think I didn't see it, you have followed me on the expedition for so many years, and you have no observation at all, haven't you noticed that those giant snakes are ordinary snake species?" What does this mean, this shows that the legend of the bloody tree is true, those snakes have survived since ancient times after eating the fruit of the bloody tree, and snakes are different from humans, snakes will shed their skin once a year, and they will become larger, which is telling us that the legend is true, and immortality is just around the corner. ”

Hearing Perkin say this, Lloyd also believed a few people, "But uncle, can we steal back the fruit of the bloody tree just the two of us?" ”

"It's not the two of us, my bag was taken away, the person who took the bag will definitely find out the message I left, as long as it is a person, you can't escape the temptation of immortality, after we get over there, find a place to ambush, wait for the thief who took my bag to find it, he will take the lead, wait for him to get the fruit, and then you will take action, Lloyd, how is your swordsmanship practice during this time?"

"Don't worry, uncle, I've got it all ......"
