Coming to the bottom of the tree, Rui Gong looked up to find a red wild fruit faintly hidden under the light. The whole body of this fruit is as clear as a red pomegranate seed, and it exudes a unique and attractive smell of ripe fruit. Seeing that the fruit seemed to be close at hand, she reached out to pick it, but found that it was always almost far away.

Rui Gong thought about it, she looked at the thick trunk of a man, turned her head to look around, and saw that there were no other creatures, so she climbed up the tree to pick the fruit; Unexpectedly, the whole trunk was smooth, and there was no point of borrowing, so she tossed for a long time and didn't take a single step. This made Rui Gong a little frustrated, but she was helpless, she estimated that it had been a long time since she came out, so she turned around and walked back.

After Rui Gong left, a cold wind blew in the forest, and the wind rustled the leaves, and the light emitted by the strange tree gradually disappeared, as if the faint candle flame had been extinguished.

When Rui Gong returned to the cave, he found a fire in the distance. She trotted back to the cave in three steps and two steps, and saw the two of them sitting by the fire with a fox, the light of the fire shining on their green faces, and the little phoenix emperor lying on his stomach beside him, who was quietly roasting the fire.

At this time, there was also a grill on the fire, on which two two-foot-long fish were skewered with sharpened branches, and the sound of sizzling came from the grilled fish, and the skin of the fish had been roasted and burst, and it looked very crispy, and the snow-white meat was exposed under the golden skin, and the whole cave exuded the aroma of roasted meat. Di Qingchuan was grasping the end of the branch and flipping there, and Husang and Ke Zhenshi were sitting next to him and sucking saliva. Seeing Rui Gong come back suddenly, several people hurriedly beckoned her to come and sit.

Husang asked, "Where has Rui Gong gone?" ”

Thinking about his embarrassment just now, Rui Gong smiled and said, "Go out for a walk." ”

"We thought you were captured by a monster, and we were about to save you!" Ke Zhenshi took a small twig as a fork, poked a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, "Of course, after we finished eating the grilled fish...... Wow...... Delicious...... Delicious! ”

Seeing that Ke Zhenshi had "tested the poison with his body", several people competed for me and ate it with gusto.

After the meal, Di Qingchuan found a few thicker branches in the firewood and placed them horizontally and vertically at the entrance of the cave, fixed them, and turned them into a fence. Although this branch has no effect on the various spirit beasts in the mountain and sea realm, it can be regarded as a comfort, and it has made everyone's hearts settle down a lot. As soon as their hearts relaxed, the feeling of exhaustion came to them, and they each found a place to lie down and rest, and soon fell asleep.

The bonfire swayed in the cave, and the shadows of several people were projected on the rock wall, looking like they were dancing with teeth and claws, as if ghosts were entangled around them.

I don't know how long it took, a few people woke up from their deep sleep, Rui Gong reached out to support his head, feeling a little dizzy, but he didn't get up well before, so he didn't take it seriously.

She stretched out of the hole, looked around to the stream, and washed her face with a gentle hand. Maybe it was too dark last night, but today the stream looks exceptionally transparent and bright, and the white clouds, trees, and their own reflections are clearly and quietly revealed, Rui Gong smiled slightly.

In the reflection, Hu Sang, Ke Zhenshi and Di Qingchuan walked over, and after everyone cleaned up by the river, they extinguished the bonfire and continued to set off.

They picked some fruits and ate them as they walked, but the road was very peaceful, and there were no terrifying spirit beasts. However, there was one thing that made Rui Gong mutter: today's fog is extraordinarily thick, and if you take two steps faster, you can't see your partner behind you at all.

Rui Gong slowed her pace, waiting for her companions to arrive. At that moment, a paw behind her slapped abruptly on her shoulder, and Rui Gong turned her head in surprise.

"Whew-"

A huge fox face howled in front of everyone's eyes, and she was startled and stepped back. Only then did he see that it was Hu Sang, and seeing that Rui Gong didn't react much, he put down his paws with a smile.

"Childish!" Rui Gong couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Husang seemed to be very excited today, with an unpredictable smile on the corner of his mouth, scurrying in the fog and not stopping, so the three of them selectively ignored him.

The fog in the mountains became heavier and heavier, and several people discussed it, and Di Qingchuan volunteered to lead the way.

There are many trees in the forest that have fallen naturally, their roots are broken, revealing the growth rings inside, and many of the trees have moss-like green plants. Di Qingchuan, who has lived in Taowu Village since he was a child, has a lot of experience, and he looks at the growth rings of trees from time to time, studies the position of moss, and cautiously leans forward.

The group walked and stopped. Surprisingly, after walking for a long time, this dense fog has been condensed, not only does not disperse, but the fog flows with the mountain wind, misty change, and has a tendency to gradually become larger.

Di Qingchuan said, "Okay...... It's weird, get closer, don't ...... Don't get scattered. ”

Dai flew low, Rui Gong followed Di Qingchuan closely, and Ke Zhenshi followed behind her. Today's Ke Zhenshi was unusual, silent along the way, which made Rui Gong couldn't help but look at him a few times.

In the vast white mist, everyone gradually felt tired, and somehow, today was much more strenuous than in the past. They walked on for a while, and then they could not hold on, and found a slightly cleaner place to sit and rest, and the exhaustion of their bodies made them almost fall into a deep sleep.

"Boom-"

When he was groggy, a loud noise came from nowhere. The sound was like thunder, and in an instant the rocks shook, and the leaves fell down in a sway.

Rui felt that many leaves had fallen from her hair, and quickly reached out to dust them, but the leaves did not fall.

Everyone looked at each other, and the thunder gradually faded away. When they came to their senses, the sleepiness they had just had dissipated a lot, so they cheered up and continued to set off.

Rui Gong looked at Di Qingchuan and said, "It's not going to rain, is it?" ”

Di Qingchuan hesitated, "Probably not." ”

"Beware!" Rui Gong suddenly grabbed Di Qingchuan's collar from behind. Di Qingchuan was stunned, only to find that a moat suddenly appeared under his feet.

Everyone stood still, frowning at the hanging cliff one step away. There was a constant sound of "whooshing" from the bottom of the cliff, like the flow of water, and like the sound of tree waves.

"Well, shall we go left or right next?" Di Qingchuan was still a little difficult to make a decision, and couldn't help but look at Rui Geng.

Rui Gong blurted out, "On the left." ”

"Huh? Why? Ke Zhenshi suddenly spoke.

"I thought you wouldn't be able to speak today!" Rui Gong smiled, "No, my instinct. ”

Di Qingchuan pursed his lips and hesitated for a while, "Dai, what about you?" Which side do you choose? ”

"Me?" Xiao Fenghuang lightly landed on Rui Gong's shoulder, put away his wings and said, "I'll go with Rui Gong." ”

Although Xiao Fenghuang was the size of an adult swan at the moment, his body was very light, and Rui Gong could hardly feel the weight.

Di Qingchuan turned his head again and asked, "Husang, what about you?" ”

Hu Sang learned the tone of Xiao Fenghuang and said, "I'll go with Dai." ”

Di Qingchuan looked at Ke Zhenshi again, but Ke Zhenshi did not speak. Di Qingchuan only acquiesced in Rui Geng's choice, and said, "Since it's ...... Since it was everyone's decision, let's go to the left. ”

The group walked silently along the mountain wall, and after turning a cliff, a flat hillside appeared in front of them. As far as the eye can see, there is a forest on the hillside, and I don't know when, the thick fog that has been lingering has dissipated.

Rui Gong rubbed her eyes, "Huh? ”

Ke Zhenshi glanced at her and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Look over there."

Following the direction of Rui Gong's finger, everyone saw a small tree, and a red fruit grew on the tree, which was emitting a faint agate light.

"Hey, it looks delicious." Ke Zhenshi seemed to have regained his vitality at this time, and ran over with a smoke, jumping up and down under the tree to pick fruits.

"It's ...... Cherry tomatoes? Di Qingchuan looked at the fruit and salivated.

Husang ran from behind everyone, stared at him for a moment, and said, "Looks like a mulberry fruit?" Well...... It doesn't seem like a ...... Heck, it's definitely not an ordinary fruit anyway, I remember when I was a child, the elders of the clan picked this kind of fruit for me. ”

Rui Gong didn't bother to discuss with them what this red fruit was, she frowned and muttered, "You may not believe it, I saw this fruit last night. ”

Husang grinned, "It shouldn't be uncommon in this fruit forest. ”

Rui Gong frowned and said, "No, including the height and color of the tree itself, and the branches where this fruit is located, they are all the same." ”

Husang's round eyes rolled and he thought, "No, there are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same, and of course there are no two identical fruits, let alone two identical trees."

Rui shook her head and didn't speak.

Over there, Ke Zhenshi walked over dejectedly, and when he saw Rui Gong and Hu Sang looking at him with questioning expressions, he waved his hand and said, "I can't pick it, I can't pick it up." It's up there, but I just can't touch it. ”

Rui Gong felt that her thoughts were instantly confused, "It's really weird. ”

The group squatted hesitantly under the tree.

Fox Sang looked at the fruit that was still shining during the day, narrowed his eyes, and his two front paws stretched out violently, and his sharp nails popped out like sharp knives out of the sheath. I saw that his back was slightly bowed, his legs exerted force, and he jumped over, easily crossing the height of the fruit.

"It's enough!" Ke Zhenshi exclaimed excitedly.

Before the words fell, an incredible scene appeared—the two claws of the fox sang flew into the air. In fact, it was not in the air, but the claws of the fox mulberry passed through the fruit in its entirety, as if it did not exist in this space.

"Sure enough, there is a problem." "What's going on?" ”

Husang shook his head, glanced at Xiao Fenghuang beside him and said, "Dai, you try?" ”

Xiao Fenghuang nodded when he heard his words. He let out a whoop and flew over, only to see his body pass through the fruit as well.

"I see, this fruit should be an image." Husang thought for a moment and said, "But I don't think you can pick this fruit by conventional means." ”

Rui Gong instantly seemed to understand something, "Conventional means? Do you have to use unconventional? ”

Ke Zhenshi scratched his head and said, "What kind of dumb riddle are you playing?" ”

Di Qingchuan hesitated, "Unconventional, isn't it the spiritual power that you mean?" ”。

"That ......" The teenagers looked at the little phoenix emperor who was bumping into the fruit in the sky at the same time.
