Chapter 30: The Strange Fruit
Wei Yi looked at the world in front of him steadily, and he was a little incredulous. He never thought that there was such a strange place in this world, it was simply amazing.
It was a colorful world with many fruits of different colors. Not only are the colors of the fruits different, but also the sizes. Some of them are very large, Wei Yi guessed, I am afraid that a dozen people hugging them together will not seem to be able to surround them. Some of them are very small, but only the size of the tip of a small thumb.
There was a faint light that emanated from the fruits. These lights come together and illuminate the entire space. From where Wei Yi was, it was simply a paradise full of vague colors. It is a wonderland on earth that is immersed in the depths of the water.
Wei Yi glanced at the entire space. He roughly estimated that there were no less than hundreds of kinds of fruits growing here. And each one is very peculiar, completely different from the others.
He looked at Xiao Budian in surprise, his heart full of curiosity, and there were countless questions he wanted to ask. But after the little one led him here, he was not in a hurry to pick any kind of fruit for him. This doesn't seem to be the final destination that Xiaobu wants to bring Wei Yi to. Wei Yi was very puzzled by Xiao Budian's actions. He wasn't sure where the little fish wanted to take him.
Not only that, after swimming for a while, Xiao Budian swam back to Wei Mi without advancing or retreating, constantly stopping Wei Mi from advancing. Wei Yi was a little confused by it, and asked with a gesture what was going on. But humans and animals, especially the fish, still don't have an effective way to communicate. There is no other way for them to do it but to understand it.
Xiao Budian shouted at Wei Yi a few times, as if to tell Wei Yi not to be impatient. The long-term tacit understanding and trust told Wei Yi that at this time, he must listen to the arrangement that he has not made since childhood. In an unfamiliar environment, trust between partners is extremely important. Wei Yi nodded to Xiao Bu and floated quietly in the water, watching the changes. Xiao Budian swam to his side, and he was also floating and motionless, extremely quiet.
Maybe something special is about to happen. Such a thought flashed through Wei Yi's heart for no reason.
Time passed slowly, minute by minute, and Wei Yu had already used up the first oxygen tank. He took a deep breath, held his breath, and quickly inserted the tube of the respirator into the second oxygen tank.
"Whew" he slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and continued to float quietly in the water with Xiao Budian. Waiting together for something to happen.
The oxygen tank carried by Wei Yi is the latest compressed underwater oxygen equipment. It can be used for ten hours at a time. When the entire stored oxygen is about to be depleted, an alarm sounds, alerting the diver to quickly change tanks. At this time, he had already used up one, but Xiao Budian was still floating in the water unhurriedly, extremely patient.
Wei Yi didn't know how long he would have to wait. He would only be able to last less than ten hours at most. He silently prayed in his heart that the mysterious event would happen soon, he didn't want to hold his breath again and dive that far away. Thinking about the vine nest he had passed before, he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body. If you don't have enough oxygen, it's a fool's dream to pass through that area.
"What kind of fame is this little bit doing?" After waiting for a long time, Wei Yi gradually developed some anxious feelings. But he couldn't communicate directly with this little fish effectively, which made him feel a little anxious in his heart.
He looked up and saw that the fish that had swam with them before did not know where they had gone. There was silence all around, and there were fruits floating in the water and undulating. Wei Yi and Xiao Budian floated quietly in the water, looking at the many fruits scattered not far away.
The wait is always long and unsettling. Xu felt Wei Mi's anxious mood, and Xiao Budian slowly swam to Wei Mi's side and rubbed Wei Mi lightly with his body. Wei Yi understood and couldn't help but chuckle. He was about to touch the little dot in response when a mutation struck.
I saw that many fruits suddenly broke away from the rhizomes and swarmed upwards. Wei Yi was startled, and just when he didn't know what to do, Xiao Budian suddenly rushed out like an arrow.
I saw it rush left and right, shuttling among the many fruits, and in a moment's effort, it disappeared. Wei Yi was in a hurry and hurriedly chased after him.
However, something happened that made him panic. Some fruits of extremely bright color and inconspicuous size suddenly swarmed towards him. They came together from all directions, and pounced straight towards Wei Yi. Seeing that Wei Yi was about to be overwhelmed by this group of uncountable kiwi fruits, a school of fish suddenly appeared.
The group of fish broke through the encirclement of this group of kiwi fruits and protected Wei Yu in the middle. They had an orderly division of labor, and while protecting Wei Yi, they swapped and devoured the fruits with each other.
They devour them greedily like wolves in a sheep's den. They moved quickly, swallowing the fruit in front of them one by one. It was just a meal, and the large group of countless fruits was eaten by this group of hungry wolf-like fish, and there was not much left.
Wei Yi was surprised in his heart, and a thought couldn't help but flash through his mind: "Could it be that the thing just now is the food of these fish?" How did those things mean to attack me? ”
Curious, he swam over to the few remaining fruits, wanting to catch one and take a closer look. But before he could get closer, the fruit was eaten by the unfed fish.
"Forget it. Maybe it's just some kind of fish food. Wei Yi comforted himself helplessly. Turning his head to look in the direction of Xiao Budian's wandering, he continued to chase after him.
Along the way, he found many withered stems and leaves. The stems and leaves were gray in color, and they seemed to break down into many pieces at the slightest touch. This made Wei Yi feel more and more curious. Not long ago, he could clearly see that this place was full of life, how could there be such withered stems and leaves?
He walked through the many dead branches and leaves, and bypassed a large area of unknown aquatic plants, and finally saw the figure of Xiao Budian.
The tiny fish were hovering around the rhizome of a thick plant. When Wei Yi saw it, he was both curious and funny, and at the same time a little angry.
"Okay, you're a little bit. I've been worried about you for a long time, and you're actually playing here, it's really annoying to me. A nameless fire gradually rose in Wei Yi's heart, and he decided to teach this guy a lesson. At the very least, it has to be made aware that it is very angry that it is playing like this.
He swam forward with all his might, trying to swim to the side of the little one at once, catch the abominable fellow, and count it down.
At this moment, the thick rhizome suddenly underwent a strange change. Bits of light emanated from within it. It was also as if there were countless lights around it, gradually converging towards it.
After a few moments, it began to glow like colorful glass. When Wei Yi saw it, he was shocked. He didn't recognize anything else, but he had seen it before.
"W-what the hell is this?" He muttered to himself in a low voice, and suddenly as if he had thought of something, he swam towards Xiao Budian like crazy.
"It's small, it's dangerous, come back, come back." He screamed desperately at the little fish in his heart. But underwater, he couldn't make a sound, and there was no way to warn him loudly.
He was so anxious that he couldn't grow a pair of wings and fly to the guy at once and take him away from the source of danger. But to his surprise, things weren't as bad as he thought.
The rhizome, which radiated the light of colorful glass, gradually became smaller and shorter. When he was about to swim to the little fish, a fruit suddenly appeared on the rhizome. A fruit that radiates a colorful glass light.
As soon as the fruit grew, the rhizome withered rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye. It only took a few breaths for it to become a dead stump. And the fruit floated slowly in the water along with the dead rhizome.
The light of the colorful glass gradually dimmed, and in the blink of an eye, it completely disappeared. When Wei Yi arrived, Xiao Budian took a bite of the fruit and turned around and swam towards Wei Yi.
It took the fruit in its mouth and swam to Wei Yi's side. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally reluctantly threw the fruit to Wei Yi. Wei Yi took the fruit, held it up in front of his eyes, and looked at it carefully.
At this time, this fruit looks very inconspicuous. It was dark all over, round all over, no more than a knuckle in size, but it felt a little warm to the touch, and it seemed to have a slight pulsation. Wei Yi held it, and suddenly felt an extremely familiar sense of intimacy.
Xiao Budian seemed to be extremely reluctant to give up this fruit, and when it saw that Wei Yi was so illiterate, he held it up in front of him and looked at it, and he was annoyed all of a sudden. It "swished" and rushed to Wei Yi's eyes, angrily protesting towards Wei Yi.
When Wei Yi saw that Xiao Budian had such a big reaction, he quickly put away the fruit first, and kept comforting Xiao Budian for a long time before the angry little fish calmed down.
Xiao Budian reluctantly looked at the storage bag on Wei Mi's waist, and reluctantly turned around and led Wei Mi out of here.
The way back was extremely smooth. Led by Xiao Budian, Wei Yi returned to the cave all the way back to the waterhole of the cave without incident. He said goodbye to the little dot and the school of fish underwater, and quickly floated towards the surface.
"Whoa" sounded.
He emerged from the water and swam quickly towards the shore. Before he could swim to the shore, he heard Li Xiaohui's anxious voice, which came from afar.
"Brother Wei? Is that you? ”
Wei Yi hurriedly climbed ashore and replied in a loud voice, "It's me." Come on, I've got something. ”
He unloaded the heavy oxygen tank from his back and hurried out.
