Chapter 13: The Earth Fire Fruit
The Black Cloud Plane is the name of the plane where the Kalilan Snow Field is located.
It is said that a long, long time ago, every once in a while, this plane would be covered by a large number of black clouds, and even the gods who created this plane could not understand.
Later, these black clouds inexplicably disappeared and no longer appeared, but the name of the black cloud plane remained.
The Black Cloud Plane has now entered the end of September, and it is less than half a year away from the "Divine Grace" on March 3 of the following year.
There is very little time left for Renault, but it is not impossible to reach level 9 by March next year.
Knowing that Renault wanted to upgrade quickly, Batu told Renault a piece of news.
There is a kind of Earth Fire Fruit near the tribe that can increase the speed of potential gain, the Earth Fire Fruit ripens in October, and every year at this time, the nearby tribe sends some young orcs to pick it.
It is said to be picking, but it is actually a matter of luck.
Around a nearby active volcanic crater, the fruit grows not from conspicuous fruit trees, but from vines clinging to the scorching surface.
They are hidden underneath other plants, they are not easy to find, and they are so scarce that they wilt and die every time they are picked, and it will not work to remember the location next time.
Renault was no stranger to the Earth Fire Fruit, and he had heard it in the game, and the effect was the same as Batuu's words, increasing the speed at which he could gain potential.
However, the effect is only limited to players of the 1st order and below, and when he arrived at the orc tribe, he was already a semi-legendary figure of the 6th order, so he naturally ignored it, but because of the needs of the task, he still had some understanding of the Earth Fire Fruit.
It's just that here in reality, the situation is different.
According to Batu, the effect of the Earth Fire Fruit is only limited to people at level 0, and it has almost no effect after it is higher than level 0.
Therefore, although the Earth Fire Fruit has the effect of increasing the potential to gain speed, the nearby tribes are not very enthusiastic, and there are young orcs in the tribe who want to organize their own going.
In the vicinity of the crater, there are no too powerful beasts, so it will not be dangerous to be careful.
But for Renault, a figure who is less than level 5, there is of course danger.
Therefore, Renault wants to increase his level as much as possible before October, and then go to find the Earth Fire Fruit with Batu and other orc boys in the tribe.
Looks much weaker than himself, but has the ability to save the leader, Batu has a lot of respect for Renault.
Knowing that it was dangerous for Renault to go to the crater, Batu persuaded Renault not to go, and they could give it to Renault after collecting it.
But Renault insisted on going.
Batu and they can find some Earth Fire Fruits, but only some Earth Fire Fruits have little effect on him, and if he wants to upgrade to level 9 half a year in advance, he needs a lot of Earth Fire Fruits, and if they are less, they can't guarantee it.
He has the 'Vine Manipulation' talent in his hands, and with this talent, it is not surprising that he can obtain a lot of Earth Fire Fruits.
Persuasion was ineffective, and Batu was not very persistent.
Renault has a low rating, but it does not mean that Renault is weak in combat.
In these days of training Renault, Batu knows very well that Renault reacts quickly, and his fighting skills are improving every day, and now he can only rely on pure brute force to suppress Renault, and he is much worse than Renault than skill.
When picking the Earth Fire Fruit, even if Renault encounters a beast that cannot be defeated, it will not be in danger of his life for a while.
Two weeks later, Renault's rating was upgraded to level 5.
The increased attribute is still strength, in the Faro world, strength and tenacity attributes are relatively easy to improve, agility and spirit depend on the race, some races are easy, some races are difficult.
For orcs, agility and spirit are both attributes that are not easy to improve.
The Earth Fire Fruit was already ripe, and after some preparation on this day, Renault and Batu went to pick the Earth Fire Fruit with the other seven beast boys in the tribe.
Coming to the Jerome tribe, Renault never left the tribe's range of kilometers away.
He has traveled a lot of places in the game, but unlike in the game, he has never been to the Carylland Snow Plains in the game.
Everything around him is strange and unknown to Renault, and wherever he goes, Renault has a sense of novelty.
The crater is not far away, about only an hour away, there are several tribes nearby, orcs are active, and the beasts and monsters around who are a little more advanced will not come to this area, and the beasts that break into here have become the prey of several tribes.
"It's here!"
Through the lush jungle, in the distance, Renault saw a wooded mountain, and after walking for twenty minutes, they reached the bottom of the mountain.
Autumn has entered the Kalilan Snow Field, and the weather has begun to get cooler. Once winter arrives, the weather can quickly get cold and snowstorm hard.
As we approach the mountain, the temperature rises suddenly, and a stream of hot air emerges from beneath our feet.
The ground is covered with black and red soil, which was formed by the volcanic eruption at the top of the mountain, and the entire mountain was formed by volcanic eruptions over many years.
"This volcano hasn't erupted in four or five years, and I remember erupting a few years ago, and the sky was half red, and the whole mountain burned out, and it was pitch black and bare. However, the people in the tribe said that the dust sprayed out was very nutritious, and at that time they dug up a lot of plants in the tribe. ”
Batu looked at the dense mountains and said.
"Yes, I remember the mountain shook when it erupted, and I was terrified."
There are teenagers in the tribe who echo it.
"Haha, you coward!"
The boy's remarks drew a burst of laughter.
"Okay, let's look for it separately, don't go too far, be careful when you encounter wild beasts, and run away for help if you can't beat it." Batu was the captain of the group, and he clapped his palms and admonished.
"Good!"
Several tribal teenagers agreed in unison, and then separated and searched for the top of the mountain.
"Renault, why don't you join me." Batu was still worried about Renault's safety and said to Renault.
"No, I'll do it alone. Everyone is nearby, there will be no danger. Renault shook his head.
With Batu there, he can't use the Vine Manipulation talent. The combat power of the vine manipulation is stronger than that of Batu and them combined, but it consumes spiritual power and cannot be used more.
"Hey, Batuu, you're here too."
The two were about to separate, when several strange orc teenagers came out of the bushes and walked towards Batu.
The strong orc boy led by him looked at Batu and said.
"What's the matter, Hal, can't you fight if your skin is itchy?" Seeing this beast boy, Batu immediately looked at the past.
"Hmph, isn't it just that I was lucky to let you win once last time, and now I am not the same as I was half a year ago, and you will lose if you really fight. But this time we're here to pick fire fruits, so we don't have time to fight with you. ”
Anger appeared on his face, and then he turned his gaze, not only was he not angry, but his tone softened a little.
"Where did you capture the Terran slave, Batu, give him to me, and I will give you some earth fire fruit."
Glancing at Renault, Har said again.
"Watch your tone, Whal, this man is a distinguished guest of our tribe, and to be unkind to him is an insult to our Jerome tribe! If you don't want to be beaten, it's best to keep your stinky mouth shut! ”
When Batu heard this, he immediately shouted angrily.
"Distinguished guests? Hehe, your tribe is really interesting. Forget it, I'm in a good mood today, don't worry about you, let's go. ”
Hahar looked at Renault with interest, rolled his eyes a few times, then smiled, and with a wave of his hand, he turned away with the other orc boys.
"Renault, watch out for this guy. This guy is from the nearby Oak tribe, he used to be physically strong, and he always bullied his peers from the nearby tribe, and he ran in front of me half a year ago to spread the wild, and was beaten by me, and he has been holding a grudge since then, and always wants to provoke me. But this guy is too cautious to make a big deal, and he will only be pressed and beaten by me in the future! ”
Batu and Hahar don't have any big feuds, and fights between orc boys are common among tribes, and adults generally don't pay attention to them.
Many orc boys win or lose, even if they have fought, it is a big deal to win back next time.
But Hahar obviously belongs to the kind of person who holds a grudge, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to jump out and provoke.
Renault nodded, and the two of them then separated and began to search for the Earth Fire Fruit.
