Chapter 33: Strange Fruits

Suzaku found a staring face in a trance, staring at him, and hurriedly turned over to get up, refreshing his vigilance.

There was nothing abnormal around, and when I looked up, I saw a green vine above the cave wall, coiled in the shape of a human face, bearing two white melons and fruits, just where the eyes were.

Suzaku let out a sigh of relief, fortunately it wasn't a mountain spirit beast, otherwise my life would have been lost. However, I also think it's strange, this is too much like a human face.

The fragrance of ripe fruit came, and the hungry Suzaku roared in his belly, and the hunger became even stronger. This height is easy for Suzaku, and he jumped up and picked the two fruits, and before he had time to look at them, he swallowed them directly.

Two fist-sized fruits fill the belly, so that the stomach and intestines are temporarily satisfied, the feeling of fullness makes the consciousness happy, and the Suzaku is no longer nervous. If you look carefully at the environment, you can see that the huge cavern is empty, and in the middle of the ground is a waterhole, and the water flows down from above, and the water in the waterhole does not increase or decrease, so you can imagine that there must be a place for water to come out of the waterhole.

Other than that, there's only that green vine. Following the direction of the growth of the vine branches, I realized that the vine branches also grew from the pool, but for some reason, the branches that had grown very vigorously were now withering at a speed visible to the naked eye. It didn't take much effort, but it retracted into the waterhole and disappeared.

Perhaps because of the fruit in the belly, a warmth gradually rose, and it became hotter and hotter, like a fire burning in the abdomen, gradually spreading to all parts of the body, just like being in a furnace, and the water in the whole body was evaporated. Suzaku couldn't bear this torture and threw himself into the pool, his consciousness was already blurred, and he just desperately dived to the bottom of the water. Finally, Suzaku lost consciousness and fainted.

When he woke up again, Suzaku found himself lying on the shore of the waterhole, and the heat in his body was gone, replaced by refreshment. Feeling the condition of the body carefully, I found that the body is much stronger than before, and both perception and response have been greatly improved.

Suzaku knew that it must have been those two strange fruits that caused all this, providing him with inexplicable strength to improve his body. You know, you are the changing body of the divine bird Suzaku, how much energy it has improved.

Is the warehouse also restored? Suzaku couldn't hold it back, and hurriedly verified it.

As a result, the sky is as people wish, and the warehouse is back. Moreover, it may be the reason why the energy is more abundant, even if Suzaku enters the warehouse, he can see the situation outside the warehouse, which makes Suzaku really excited to faint, which is simply handsome. As for the inside of the warehouse, it is still the same as before, and it has not changed at all.

The current Suzaku is no longer the Suzaku it was when it just crossed over. Whether out of curiosity or craving for food, Suzaku stood in front of the row of containers in the warehouse, smirking as she wanted to stock up—yes, stock.

There are 20 containers in total, and three have been opened. One is a variety of snacks, the other has a variety of cooking utensils, and the other is rice, flour, oil, salt, etc. Suzaku opened three more in succession, which were books, seeds, and fertilizers.

At this time, Suzaku stopped. She has been pondering a question, these products of modern society can indeed help herself, but in terms of use, should there be a limit?

Suzaku knows that when excessive dependence becomes a habit, he has lost himself and cannot find the value of his existence. It's like an exam, if you were allowed to cheat at will, would you study again? It's like money, if you were given enough money, would you still go to work? ……

Suzaku doesn't want to rely too much on the warehouse, unless his life is at stake and he has to do it, other times, it's better not to use it.

After making up his mind, Suzaku lost interest in opening the container again, and even refused to stay in the warehouse, so he came out and sat on the edge of the pool.

If you don't leave here, the warehouse won't be able to save you, and you'll still be greeted by destruction.

This road is impassable, so turn back and take another one.

Suzaku walked towards the passage where he came, and he didn't notice that the waterhole was getting bigger and bigger. Suzaku definitely didn't expect that the reason why the waterhole became bigger was because when he dived into the pool, he destroyed the outlet at the bottom of the pool. If the water does not flow out, it will make the pool bigger, and eventually it will flow out through the passage through which the Suzaku came.

Returning to the cave chamber and looking at the gold bricks piled in the center, Suzaku smiled secretly.

There was no way to deal with these gold bricks, but now it is much easier.

"Congratulations on making a fortune, congratulations on making a fortune ......"

The little song that must be sung during the Chinese New Year every year, hummed out of the mouth of the Suzaku, is enough to show the happiness in the heart. The hands and feet did not stop, and the gold bricks were transported into the containers vacated in the warehouse one by one.

A whole container of gold bricks, Suzaku smiled from ear to ear, he couldn't imagine that the treasure that the Zhu family had buried for hundreds of years would finally cheapen himself.

By the way, there is a night pearl on the top of the cave, take it away.

Suzaku was about to jump up and take the night pearl when a heart-rending howl rang out.

"Ah——, my treasure, ah——。"

Suzaku was so frightened that he hurriedly leaned against the cave wall and observed carefully by the light of the night pearl.

I saw a huge figure, kneeling on the ground, with his hands raised high, looking up to the sky and roaring. Loose hair covers the face, making it difficult to see the face.

Suzaku only felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

After a roar, the man set his gaze on Suzaku.

"Suzaku——, you're not dead?"

After seeing the man's face clearly, Suzaku's heart sank, that person was Zhu Ba, but I don't know why Zhu Ba became miserable.

His clothes were dirty, his hair was disheveled, and half of the skin on his face was festering, and pus was dripping down.

"Say——, what about my treasure? Where's my treasure——? ”

Zhu Ba is about to come up, and it seems that he wants to tear Suzaku to pieces.

"Your treasure? Think about it. ”

Suzaku made a gesture of bowing his head and contemplating, in fact, he was thinking, but he was thinking about how to escape from Zhu Ba's control.

Zhu Ba wanted to know the news about the treasure, and this news was only known to Suzaku, so he had to wait on the sidelines.

After staying for a while, Suzaku spoke slowly.

"How did you become like this? Are you poisoned? ”

Zhu Ba was angry, slapped his palm on the wall, and stared at Suzaku viciously in the midst of the flying stones.

"Say, 'What about my treasures?' Where is it? ”

Suzaku trembled with fright, and couldn't speak.

"I ...... I said, "That'...... Those gold ...... Gold bricks, by that ...... behind you The man took it. ”

Zhu Ba was taken aback when he heard this, and turned around suddenly, empty behind him. Looking at Suzaku again, Suzaku shrank there, shaking all over, pointing behind him.
