Chapter 38: The Unattainable Fruit (I)

The uncle continued: "Although I have been looking for half a month! The perimeter has long been rummaged through. But every twilight is ordered to call it a day and withdraw from the labyrinth. But as we approach dusk, we can always hear strange sounds from the depths. And ......"

In the next ten minutes, the uncle described many strange phenomena when the sun was about to set.

For example, there is a sudden fog in a short period of time, and sometimes you will see blood-red flowers that are about to grow on the ground, but when you get closer, they are gone.

There are also times when white arrows appear at each turn. Some even saw the sun turn black and the day turned into night.

Zhou Yiping thought that it might be a hallucination caused by staying in the maze for a long time. The sun turned black, perhaps just in time for a solar eclipse. However, it cannot be judged by common sense here, especially since the Count of Sesa must be hiding something in the depths of the labyrinth.

Looks like I'm really going to take a look at the depths of the labyrinth. That hidden quest is called 'The Soul of the Ruins'. Could this ghost be Erin?

The quest prompt also says "Free the Souls of the Abandoned Stone Ruins". When the word 'liberation' is used, only those who are trapped will use the word liberation. It's also called 'wronged soul', so of course it's something wronged. Zhou Ping chewed the words and scrutinized the only information in the GG watch.

After lunch, Zhou Yiping said that he wanted to go into the maze to have a look. Although it is a forbidden place, demimonsters are rampant at this time. The Count of Cesa's guards probably won't come here either. Of course, the aunt also persuaded her, after all, it was very dangerous there.

Zhou Yiping hasn't been cared about so much for a long time, and although it's an NPC, it's also a little moved. The uncle also drew a simple map of the outer layer of the labyrinth from memory.

The aunt helped Zhou Yiping prepare some water and dry food, and it would take at least six or seven hours to go to the depths of the maze. It's better to get out early.

The uncle sent Zhou Yiping all the way to the entrance of the labyrinth. Although it has not yet been entered, it is surrounded by a group of rocks, some of which can be seen as the ruins of some ancient stone houses, and others are the mutilated statues of some stone animals.

Zhou Yiping glanced at the sky, and it was about one o'clock in the afternoon. If you follow what the uncle said, you can go into the depths in three hours.

The main difference between there and the outside is that the humidity is heavier and the temperature is slightly lower.

Zhou Yiping said goodbye to his uncle and looked for a way through the maze according to the simple map.

"Huh? The map says turn right and keep going, but fifteen meters in front of you is a mossy earthen wall. Depend on! It turned out to be a dead end. Zhou Yiping sighed: "Uncle either remembered wrongly, or accidentally drew the wrong one." ”

Zhou Yiping didn't care, because there was more than one road to the inner labyrinth on the map. However, the other roads are a little bit more detoured.

Zhou Yiping was about to turn around, when suddenly a plant grew in the corner of the mossy earth wall fifteen meters ago. When I looked closely, there were several blood-red flowers, and under the flowers seemed to bear a blood-red fruit the size of a tennis ball.

Zhou Yiping walked slowly towards there, but when he reached a place where there were still five meters, a white mist formed under the plant, and it was getting faster and faster. Finally, the area under the corner of the wall was covered. The whole plant is not clearly visible.

Zhou Yiping quickened his pace and finally reached the root of the wall, and the white mist suddenly dissipated, with that strange fruit, of course. As if it had never appeared.

Zhou Yiping suddenly remembered that the uncle also said that someone saw blood-red flowers, but when they approached, they couldn't see them. It turned out to be obscured by the white mist, but is this fruit spiritual? Got into the dirt like a ginseng fruit!

It's not an illusion! Instead of trusting his eyes, he trusts his feelings. That's right! This must be some game item. But I missed it. Just run fast and pounce before the fog obscures the fruit. If it is Chen Ji's distance of fifteen meters, it will be there in the blink of an eye.

Chen Ji acted completely instinctively and subconsciously. It's not like thinking about this and that, missing the opportunity. More than cautious, but not brave and decisive. This is Zhou Yiping's objective evaluation of himself.

Only a calm and wise person will be aware of his weaknesses.

Zhou Yiping decided to return the same way, and what was lost was lost, and he never insisted on forcing it. Otherwise, it will affect your state of mind and disrupt the actions below.

But despite his thoughts, the heavens did not obey people's wishes. When Zhou Yiping just turned around, the blood-red flower in the corner behind him appeared again, and the red fruit below was also there!

Opportunity!

I don't know why I was behind me, but I can't make the same mistake this time. Zhou Yiping didn't hesitate to pull his legs and rush forward, he must get his hand before the white mist covers it!

From the corner of the wall to the corner behind you, the distance is also only fifteen meters!

There was no fog there at all before the start of the week, but after the two steps of the week, the white fog that suddenly appeared from the ground was faster than the first degree! With a single eye, the whole plant is encased in it.

It's late! It's late again!

It took only four seconds to reach a distance of 15 meters on Monday, plus reaction movements, starts, and bent over in five seconds. But by the time the hand reached into the small white mist on the ground, it was empty.

The white mist slowly dissipated again. Sure enough, there is nothing in it.

After Zhou Yiping's failure, he was in a much better mood. Because even Chen Ji couldn't get that thing just now. Not to mention Chen Ji, the sprinter will not help. It's not something that is determined by degree.

It's a pity that there are only these two chances, otherwise Tong Guò may be able to slowly grope ......

Wait a minute! Zhou Yiping thought about it, and subconsciously glanced at the earthen wall just now. Just like the first time, the blood-red fruit was still in the corner of the earthen wall. As if he hadn't been born twice before, he still stood at this turn.

Zhou Yiping just stood there and looked at the plant this time. Not a single step forward.

A minute passed......

Two minutes passed......

Five minutes passed......

Ten minutes passed......

It's like a duel with a western cowboy, before the gun is drawn, the wind is calm. There is only a silent gaze.

Zhou Yiping's opponent is this small fruit, and of course the opponent will not draw a gun. So give yourself a long time to figure it out - as long as you don't get close to it, it won't produce white mist, that is, it won't disappear!

Is that really the case? Let's verify it!

Stay tuned for the next chapter: The Unobtainable Fruit (Part II)
