"It's... What is this tree? Can it grow fruit or something? ”

At this time, Yuebai had already retreated into the distance with the others, and at this moment, he looked at the big tree that had not been there ten minutes ago and muttered such a sentence.

"What's up? Would you like to taste it? ”

Mo Long also looked incredulous, but he was more rational than Yuebai, at this time, he raised the yellow paper in his hand, and then compared the lonely tree on the top of the black stone mountain on the paper with the strange tree in front of him.

At this time, it can be said that it is completely consistent, although the big tree on the paper does not allow the four people to see the details of the branches clearly, but the shape of the big tree can still make the four people sure that everything in front of them completely echoes the whole picture on this paper.

That is to say, the picture on this piece of paper can only be regarded as a real existence at this moment, or it may also be said: the current Wushi Mountain is the Wushi Mountain in the painting!

"Looks like the four of us didn't miss anything!"

Mo Long refolded the paper in his hand and stuffed it into his pocket, although this paper had no value in the future, but in Mo Long's opinion, it was probably a good idea to keep this object as a souvenir.

"That tree... It seems to have stopped growing! ”

At this moment, Yuebai finally returned to his normal thoughts, he looked at the big tree with his perceptive eyes, and raised his right hand, pointed at a certain side of the treetop with the short sword in his hand, and shouted, "Fruit! It's really fruitful! ”

Indeed, at this time, the green and red-leaved tree no longer climbed to the sky, and above the tree that had stopped rising, at the front end of a branch with lush foliage, there was indeed an oval, child-sized blood-colored fruit.

Moreover, in the eyes of Yue Bai, the surface of this fruit still seems to be emitting an amazing red mist, and Yue Bai, who has never seen this phenomenon, can't say whether this red mist is a special evil aura or a tempting treasure!

However, what Yuebai can be sure of is that the big tree in front of him is by no means normal vegetation, after all, the growth rate of this tree is too fast, and in the same way, the only red fruit that this big tree bears after it grows is not an ordinary fruit!

"We... Would you like to go over and have a look? ”

Yuebai groaned for a long time, then looked at the three people around him and asked them if they wanted to get closer and look better.

"The past is the past..."

Mo Long nodded, he also wanted to get closer to the strange tree, so that he could see the shape of the leaves on the tree, and guess the variety of the strange tree.

However, after the four of them carefully groped through, they found that this fast-growing red-leaved tree was not a common species, and the branches and leaves on the treetops did not look like the common leaves of pine, poplar, locust, willow, and so on.

In fact, red leaves are not uncommon, for example, torch trees, cochinese, maple trees, and red oak trees all have red or vermilion leaves.

However, the leaves of these trees do not mean that they are red as soon as they grow, like those common tree species, which generally change from green leaves to red leaves with the evolution of the seasons.

In addition, the shape of the leaves of the tree in front of the four of them is also very strange, the leaves of this tree are pinnate compound leaves that grow from both sides of thin branches, that is, the leaves similar to those of the poplar tree.

However, it was not the leaves that the four of them were focusing on at this moment, but the only red fruit.

The shape of the fruit is oval, and it looks like an egg sprayed with red paint, perhaps because the humidity in the air is too high, and there are a few small drops of crystal clear water on the shiny surface of this fruit.

"It's not easy to see such a red plant in this winter!"

When Yuebai saw that after everyone came over and there was no danger here, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then he asked Mo Long, do you know the variety of this tree?

"This tree looks a lot like phoenix wood, but how can phoenix wood grow so fast..."

Mo Long thought for a while and said, "Moreover, although the phoenix wood I know is red, the red color is only the flower color, and the leaves are not red!" As far as I know, phoenix trees do bear fruit, but the fruits are pods, lentils, and I have never seen a red fruit like this egg-shaped. ”

"Can you eat this fruit?"

Yuebai looked at the shiny, blood-like red fruit and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, the expression of longing on his face was enough to show that he was no less courageous than the Cantonese, as if any fresh food was placed in front of him, Yuebai wanted to taste its own unique taste.

"I think I can eat it..."

Mo Long raised his eyebrows and said, "This tree will bear a fruit, if you can't eat it... Isn't that a waste of the essence of this tree? ”

"Then I'll go up and pick it, let's four taste it?"

After Yuebai asked this, he saw that no one objected, so he jumped hard, directly grabbed the waist of the big tree, and then pouted his buttocks, like a squirrel, and jumped up two or three meters high in a few clicks.

Actually, the fruit is not very tall on the top of everyone's heads, and the branch with this blood-colored fruit is not much thicker than chopsticks, maybe they only need to use something to throw the fruit twice, or smash the branch, then they don't have to go up the tree to get this fruit.

However, Yuebai didn't think so, because he was worried that if the fruit left the branches, it was likely to wither immediately, and even Yuebai felt that this fruit might be like the ginseng fruit in "Journey to the West", once it fell, if no one caught it, it would burrow into the ground and never be found again.

Therefore, Yuebai thought, maybe letting the fruit and branches grow together can avoid some unnecessary troubles, even if the fruit is not as he imagined, then the fruit and the branch maintain a normal connection, which can at least ensure that the fruit itself will not lose nutrients due to branching.

So, after climbing up the tree to the first fork, Yuebai easily cut off the fruity branch fork with a short sword, and after seeing Mo Long below successfully catching it, Yuebai smiled, first dropped the short sword, and then prepared to jump back to the ground.

However, just when Yuebai was squatting at the fork of the tree trunk and was about to find a suitable place to stay, a sense of danger suddenly appeared in his heart, and then, Yuebai's body trembled violently, and his body suddenly lost his balance, and his big head fell down as soon as he tilted and obliquely.
