Chapter Twenty-Four: The Fiery Red Fruit
Although Xiao Du was angry in his heart, he quickly calmed down, took the electric rat to his shoulder, put away the other elves, and asked the Gravel Giant with doubts, "Gravel Giant, why did they attack you just now?" β
The Gravel Giant stretched out his hand for a few strokes, then pointed to the low valley, and walked forward, Xiao Du and Wang Bing following behind him.
After a while, the two followed the gravel giant to the valley, bypassing the rockery in the middle of the valley, there was a lot of space inside, the connection between the valley and the sky was covered by a large number of dense vines, and a ray of light shone down from the gaps in the vines.
The Gravel Giant circled around a stone and pointed in front of him, and Xiao Du saw that it was a small fiery red tree with fiery red leaves, and two oval-shaped fruits with red bodies that seemed to drip from the branches.
Tentatively threw out reconnaissance on the flaming red tree.
The fiery red pear tree, a fire-attribute plant, will produce fire poison in the body after eating it directly, causing 10 damage per second for 10 seconds, and will produce 1-3 fiery red fruits every ten years.
Fire Red Fruit (to ripen), fruit with fire attribute, ordinary beasts eat it and have a 5% chance of mutation, the strength of fire attribute elves increases by 2 after eating, and the strength of other attribute elves increases by 1 after eating.
Stretched out his hand and grabbed the two fiery red fruits on the fiery red pear tree, released the little fire dragon, and said, "Little fire dragon, what do you think this is?" β
The little fire dragon looked at the fiery red fruit in Xiao Du's hand, felt the blazing fire attribute aura inside, and couldn't help but have some urge to eat.
Seeing the little fire dragon's unbearable expression, Xiao Du didn't tease it anymore, handed it over directly, and said with a smile: "Eat, both are yours." β
After hearing Xiao Du's words, the little fire dragon didn't bear Jike, who was patient, grabbed the two fiery red fruits in Xiao Du's hand and swallowed them in one bite, swallowed them without even chewing, his body began to turn red, and the heat emanated from it.
Wang Bing watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Little Brother Du, how do you know if that fruit is poisonous or not, so give it to the little fire dragon to eat?" β
"I read about this fruit in the book, it is a spiritual plant called the fiery red fruit, and the fire attribute elves are good for eating it, so you can watch it."
The heat on the little fire dragon's body lasted for a quarter of an hour before it gradually returned to its original body temperature, and the color of its body surface also returned to orange-red.
"Ding Dong" little fire dragon eats the fire-eating red fruit with +2 power and +2 favorability.
"Ding Dong" little fire dragon eats the fire red fruit power +1 and favorability +1.
Hearing the system prompt, Xiao Du thought to himself: "Sure enough, if you eat too much anything, the effect will be worse." β
After digesting the fire attribute energy of the fiery red fruit, the little fire dragon screamed happily, and there were sparks in his mouth.
Looking at the happy appearance of the first elf who accompanied him from the earth to this strange continent, Xiao Du showed a knowing smile.
Touching the smooth head of the little fire dragon, since he would have to hurry for a while, he took out the Poke Balls of the little fire dragon and the stone crushing giant from his backpack and took a picture of them, and said, "Come back!" β
The PokΓ© Ball emits a red light that shines on the two PokΓ©mon and is sucked into the PokΓ© Ball.
Xiao Du glanced at the fire red pear tree, and didn't plan to destroy it, thinking that it would be better to stay in the destined person ten years later.
said to Wang Bing: "The matter is done, and we should also set off." β
"Hmm~" Wang Bing responded and kept up with Xiao Du's footsteps.
After Xiao Du and the two left the valley, they headed in the direction of Baimu Town
The two finally walked out of the forest in the afternoon.
"Huh~" Wang Bing sat on the ground and said weakly: "It's finally out." β
Xiao Du sat on the big tree on the side, took out the kettle and took a sip of water, and said with a smile: "That's how it is when you come out to travel, if you can't stand the suffering, go back, anyway, you haven't gone far." β
Wang Bing snorted and said: "It's all out, how can you be embarrassed to go back to see your hometown if you don't make a name for yourself." β
Xiao Du shook his head and smiled bitterly, and ignored the chattering Wang Bing, looking at the sky, it was already dusk, took out the map and looked at it, there was still a considerable distance from the next village, at this time Wang Bing's stomach made a protest gurgling sound, Xiao Du shook his head helplessly, took out the pot and bucket from the backpack, called out his elves, ordered them to collect wood, and found a few larger stones to set up the pot, ready to solve the dinner problem here.
Since they had to hurry next, Xiao Du and the elf ate quickly, and after a simple cleanup, Xiao Du and the two rode on the bull and headed towards the next village.
Yanhu Village is a remote small village, there are dozens of families outside the village, it is said that a long time ago, there were many powerful elves near this village, they ate people, and also hindered the hunters from hunting in the mountains, which is also a thing that has been bothering the villagers, because this village is in the ring of mountains, so most of the people in the village are living by hunting in the mountains, and there are very few people who grow food, basically every family is barely able to provide for their own family's order, and finally there is really no way, the village chief decided to send people out of a deep mountain, Go to the outside world to find support, but unfortunately, sent a lot of people were killed by the elves in the mountains, and there was no one who escaped, just when the village people were full of despair and hunger and madness, a trainer appeared in their village, named Yanhu, after learning about the situation of this village, Yanhu decided to help them, and the next day he took the village to move the hunters up the mountain, killed the elves who ate people in the mountains, and then the trainer left the village, and people in order to commemorate the hero who saved the village, He changed the name of the village to Yanhu Village.
Yanhu Village is located in the middle of the mountainside, surrounded by high mountains, and there is only one road into the village.
The two came to Yanhu Village, it was late at night, after a simple check by the guards, the two entered the village, looked for a long time, and found the restaurant that had not yet closed, and moved in
The next day, early in the morning, the two got up one after another, and after having breakfast in the room, they went down to the restaurant.
"Did you hear that? The deserted village has now become a ghost village, and every night every house closes its doors and windows, and it is not known what is happening. β
A voice reached Xiao Du's ears as he walked down the stairs.
Feeling that the name of the village was somewhat familiar, Xiao Du stopped and looked towards the source of the sound.
Wang Bing saw that Xiao Du stopped, and wanted to ask, but when he saw Xiao Du's finger standing up in front of his mouth, he stopped talking.
Xiao Du looked at the source of the sound, these were two villagers who came to the restaurant to eat, afraid that they would not hear clearly, Xiao Du slowly leaned over.
"I've heard about it a long time ago, some people say it's haunted over there, but I don't know if it's true or not." The other said, taking a sip of his drink.
Xiao Du walked up and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, what are you talking about in the deserted village?" β
When the two of them saw someone come to ask, the person who had just spoken, said, "It's the deserted village that goes north of our village." β
"Sure enough." Xiao Du said secretly, and said: "What happened there, can you tell me one or two." β
The man didn't think about it and said, "It's no secret, just five days ago, the people who ran out of the deserted village said that they were haunted and saw moving corpses and skeletons. After a pause, the man whispered again: "I heard that it will eat people." β
"What? It's been five days, and no one cares? Xiao Du said.
"How could it be, our village has sent a village trainer to investigate, but he hasn't come back yet." The man sighed and said, "We are relatively remote here, and the surrounding areas are all mountains and jungles that are difficult to walk, and it is difficult to ask for help from the villages outside. β
"Yes, if we don't find out what happened in the deserted village, and our village is the closest to the deserted village, if it affects us at that time, it will be difficult to do." The other said worriedly.
Xiao Du frowned, if you start from here, you will inevitably pass through a deserted village, and it is haunted over there, Xiao Du guessed that it was the elves.
Xiao Du Si thought about it, and finally decided that the route would not change, and go to the deserted village, if he met a troublesome elf, he would solve it by the way.
Xiao Du turned his head to Wang Bing and said, "I heard it." β
Wang Bing said excitedly: "Could those ghosts be elves?" β
"What do you think it would be besides the elves?" Xiao Du asked rhetorically and continued: "We will set off in a while, and it is estimated that we will arrive at the deserted village in the afternoon." β
"Brother Du, do you think there are really ghosts in this world?" Wang Bing walked on the road and suddenly asked.
Xiao Du glanced at Wang Bing and sneered, "How can there be ghosts." β
"The world is so big, there are no wonders, who knows if there are ghosts." Wang Bing said.
Xiao Du smiled helplessly and said, "Don't say much, let's hurry up." β
After speaking, Wang Bing didn't say much, followed Xiao Du out of Yanhu Village, rode on the bull and drove along the winding path towards the deserted village.
