Chapter 52: Meteorite Fragments
"Yes, although this fruit looks bright and very attractive, in nature, the more beautiful things are, the more poisonous they are."
"Yes, even if it is not poisonous, it is impossible to directly make people immortal and become immortals, right? In myths and legends, those immortal immortals have been cultivated step by step after thousands of tribulations. ”
Hearing Wang Xiaoling's words, the armed police, who were originally with hot eyes, suddenly woke up and spoke hesitantly.
They were a little ashamed that a group of well-trained old men had not yet seen through a little woman.
Just now, after they heard that this was the Purple Cloud Spirit Fruit, or it could make people immortal and become immortals, their heads were hot, and they almost couldn't hold it, so they rushed up and grabbed it madly.
The temptation of immortality is too great for human beings!
Li Dao is the same, he has been wandering on Wuyun Mountain since he was a child, and he almost grew up listening to the legends about the Wuyun Divine Tree and the Purple Cloud Spirit Fruit, and when he suddenly saw that the Purple Cloud Spirit Fruit really existed, his little heart was pounding.
But now, he was just as skeptical.
Can a single fruit really make a person a god?
Before, he had guessed that the legendary immortals in ancient Huaguo might just be people of high rank. It is a higher life form that is a higher life form that has evolved into life through an unknown way by ordinary people.
And taking this fruit is the way to achieve the evolution of life and become a high-order life?
Maybe, but Li Dao felt that with the Purple Cloud Spirit Fruit in front of him alone, it should not be able to make humans evolve.
Because he remembered that yesterday Brother System had said that although rare and exotic fruits and the like can allow life forms to evolve, they need top-notch curiosities.
Li Dao has no concept of the top treasures in the mouth of the system, but he knows that the super-divine life spirit dew in his eyes is just garbage in the eyes of the system, and he is not worthy of carrying shoes for the top treasures.
Comparing the two, you can see how extraordinary the top treasures are.
The Purple Cloud Spirit Fruit in front of him, is it a top-notch treasure?
Li Dao felt that it was not, and even felt that it was not as good as the Life Spirit Dew.
At least the dew of life, just smelling the smell can make people refreshed and fatigue eliminated. And the fragrance of this purple cloud spirit fruit, although it makes people smell and soothe, it is far from reaching the effect of life spirit dew.
In other words, it is very likely that it is not as good as the life spirit dew, and according to the system, it is not as good as garbage.
Thinking of this, the status of the Purple Cloud Spirit Fruit in Li Dao's heart suddenly plummeted, and he no longer had the previous desire.
However, although he was not eager anymore, Jiang Han was still eager for it.
"Toxic? Impossible, right? It smells so good, it doesn't look like it's poisonous! Jiang Han looked at the fresh orange fruit in front of him, and said with some disbelief.
"Little one, don't be fooled by its appearances."
Physician Wu smiled faintly, pointed to the Purple Cloud Spirit Fruit, and said in a deep voice: "Wild fruits generally become food for birds and insects, but if you look at its body, it is crystal clear, and there are no scars that have been eaten by birds and insects, what does this mean?" This shows that birds and insects dare not eat it! ”
"The little animal has a high sense of danger, and it doesn't dare to eat the Purple Cloud Spirit Fruit, there is only one reason, that is, it is very dangerous and cannot be eaten!"
Physician Wu pointed to a leaf in the distance and said, "There's a stinging caterpillar there, if you don't believe it, you can put it next to the spirit fruit and see how it reacts." ”
Jiang Han hesitated, although he didn't like Doctor Wu very much, but he also knew that this old man, as a medical doctor, must know much more than him, a young underage.
So in the end, he still used the leaves to clip the stinging caterpillar and put it next to the Purple Cloud Spirit Fruit.
Stinging caterpillars, also known as caterpillars,
After this caterpillar was placed next to the spirit fruit, the next moment, it immediately turned its head and crawled outward, away from the purple cloud spirit fruit, as if it was its natural enemy, more than a dozen pairs of small short legs moved in unison, and the original snail-like speed was faster than a turtle.
Seeing this scene, everyone was very surprised, although the caterpillar eats leaves, but after seeing a fragrant fruit, it will not react like this, right?
"See, the reason why it ran so fast was because it sensed the danger of the Purple Cloud Spirit Fruit, I guess that there is a deadly toxin breath hidden in the fragrance of this Spirit Fruit, which we humans can't smell, but some small animals can smell it." Physician Wu muttered.
Jiang Han was a little unwilling, but looking at the caterpillar running frantically, he could only give up in the end, and quickly retreated, away from the purple cloud spirit fruit that was scented or hidden with toxins.
"Elder Wu, how could the Purple Cloud Spirit Fruit be so different from the rumors? And its predecessor, spruce fruit, is a kind of medicinal material, with great medicinal value, why is it now a poisonous fruit? Wang Dalong was puzzled.
Doctor Wu shook his head: "I don't know, but I estimate that it may be that this meteorite that came from outside the sky brought a strange substance, which caused the spruce fruit to mutate, and the medicinal properties were increased many times, and at the same time, the toxicity contained in the medicinal properties was also increased many times, and it became unacceptable." ”
"However, after the ordinary spruce fruit is ripe, the toxicity will be greatly reduced, and it remains to be seen whether this mutated fruit will be, it seems that it will take more than a week to mature."
"Okay, then I'll check back in a week." Wang Dalong nodded.
Then the group went back the way they came, and followed the rope back to the ground.
After coming down, Wang Dalong also used the telescope to look around the Wuyun Divine Tree, and found two more Purple Cloud Spirit Fruits, the growth state was similar to the previous one, and it was about a week later.
Dr. Wu and his two assistants returned to the camp to care for the wounded, while the remaining dozen armed policemen, as well as three volunteers, including Li Dao, continued to search for survivors.
However, after several hours of searching, the crowd found nothing, and no survivor was found.
Not all the survivors have been rescued, it took two or three days for the rescue team to complete the search in the eastern area, and there are still large areas in the huge Wuyun Mountain that have not been searched.
And the reason why no survivors were found was because ...... The survivors of the catastrophe are all dead.
A small percentage died of serious injuries, and the majority ......
It was killed by a ghost!
At noon, looking at the corpse in front of him that had not yet decomposed, had been dead for no more than twelve hours, but had blue skin, widened eyes, and extremely terrifying corpses in its pupils, everyone made this judgment,
The ghost is dead.
"Damn, there are other ghosts on the mountain." Wang Dalong's expression was extremely ugly.
He had heard from the old man in the camp that only a ghost had the ability to take people's lives, and that ghost had been wandering around the camp last night and had not entered the mountain.
It is conceivable that there must be more than one ghost in this area.
"What about the captain?" An armed police officer asked.
"Continue to search, search Wuyun Mountain, maybe there are still people alive," Wang Dalong said with a calm face.
So the people continued to search,
But after another afternoon of searching, they searched from Shandong to Shanxi, but they still did not find a living person.
When you reach the west of the mountain, you can see the fragments of the meteorite that landed near Wuyun Mountain.
Li Dao stood on a rock, looking at the black behemoth like a hill from a distance, his expression was a little complicated.
It was it that brought a catastrophe to Wuyun Mountain, causing the destruction of life and countless human deaths, if it weren't for the Heavenly Realm, maybe he would have died.
"Natural and man-made disasters, this is fate!" Li Dao looked old-fashioned, shook his head and sighed for a while, and then prepared to leave.
It was getting dark, and he was going back to the camp.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt a unique aura from the direction of the black meteorite fragment......
