Chapter 20: Spirit Fruit Beasts

The two fallen brothers cooperated along the way in the forest to find fruits that could quench their thirst and hunger, and after a toss, the two of them became more and more proficient in cooperation.

The awkward posture that was not even smooth for normal walking before has become more and more natural in the continuous running-in.

Before sunset, the wild forest in the mountains is very beautiful, and it is not uncommon to see some small animals fleeing in panic because they are frightened.

"It's not too early, we must find the fruit to eat as soon as possible, although this is not the same secluded spring forest as before, but for you any beast is a threat! Not to mention that the two of us can only barely cooperate to do some simple things now! I can't even help you this time when the beast attacks!"

Mo Wu's reminder was actually something that Xiao Liu also thought of, since he had experienced the Youquan Forest, he had a heartfelt fear of the woods.

The reason why he broke in without scruples just now was that he was so thirsty that he forgot about it for a while.

After reaching an agreement, they worked harder to find the fruit that would come out of nowhere.

Strange to say, it is common sense that there are some fruit trees growing in the woods that can be eaten, and even if the taste is not good, you can always eat it.

But the two of them had been searching all the way for nearly half an hour, but they found nothing!

They didn't feel anything about this situation at first, but after a long time, Mo Wu first felt that something was wrong!

"I don't think something is right here! If it doesn't work, let's go out! Bear with me, and go back to the river we passed before and have water to drink......

"Well, what's wrong? We haven't even encountered a fierce beast along the way, isn't that just convenient for us? Fifth brother, are you a little worried?"

Xiao Liu didn't feel that there was any potential danger, and the search for half an hour before had effectively healed and alleviated his fear of the forest.

"Hmm...... I can't tell. Although I haven't been to any woods to look for wild fruits to eat, we should have found a lot of range in the past half an hour, but we haven't found a single plant with fruit. Isn't that surprising? I noticed that some of the plants we passed by were supposed to be of the type that could bear fruit, but they didn't even have a single fruit on them. What does that mean?"

Mo Wu's analysis made Xiao Liu stop unconsciously.

Indeed, when you think about it, it's a bit unusual.

"Fifth brother, could it be that someone often comes during the day, so the fruits are all dried by them?"

The conclusion that Xiaoliu finally came to is indeed very possible.

The two of them didn't know anything about the situation in this area, so they didn't know at all, this was deep in the southern mountains, and no one dared to come here in normal times!

"Fifth brother, I seem to smell the smell of fruit! Do you smell it?"

Xiao Liu was in the middle of the conversation, and Leng Buding said to Mo Wu in an excited tone.

"Yes? Why didn't I smell it? My nose is very smart! How could you smell it and I didn't notice it? Hmm...... By the way, my body has been given up, and your body is too incompatible with me, so it's normal that you can't smell it......"

Between Mo Wu's muttering, Xiao Liu had already followed the source of the smell.

Since smelling this strange fruity fragrance, Xiao Liu even felt that his injuries had improved, and the whole person felt comfortable from the inside out!

"What kind of fruit is this?, why does it smell so good?!"

Xiao Liu was almost a little bit old, and his anxious appearance almost made Mo Wu can't help but dislike him.

Soon, they passed through the barriers of the trees, and found a dirt mountain only twenty or thirty feet high, and on the side of the earth mountain facing them, there was a cave three feet round, and the strange fragrance emanated from it.

Xiao Liu saw that he had finally come to the source of the fragrance, and he was busy and wanted to climb, but at this time, Mo Wu suddenly shouted

"Wait! There's something in there!"

The current state of the two needs to cooperate with each other to be able to act normally, and at this time, the opinions are conflicting, and they immediately "plop!" and fell solidly and.

"Hmm, fifth brother, what happened to you all of a sudden? Fall me to death!"

Xiao Liu, who already had a lot of scars on his body, spit out a mouthful of dirt that he had eaten in his mouth and complained.

"You kid knows how to eat! There is obviously something inhabiting that cave, and we are probably already discovered by the other party at this distance! This is broken! Our state is not suitable for fighting at all! In case it is some kind of ferocious beast, we will be done!"

The tense atmosphere created by Mo Wu successfully spread to Xiao Liu, he subconsciously wiped his mouth, wiped away the saliva that didn't exist in the first place, and then asked with difficulty

"So what are we going to do next?"

Despite the reluctance of a hundred in his heart, Xiao Liu still knew which one was heavier, and the strange and fragrant fruit was not as important as the lives of the two!

"Don't worry! It stands to reason that the guy in the cave must have noticed the existence of our two outsiders. But why hasn't it moved?"

Mo Wu's puzzled voice came, and Xiao Liu responded after a little thought

"Could it be that this guy doesn't care about us at all? After all, we look miserable enough now...... Or maybe it's sleeping. ”

"You don't understand. Beasts and monsters have a strong sense of territory, and under normal circumstances, outsiders are never allowed to invade their territory. If they find an outsider intruding, they'll definitely attack it!That's why I said the guy in the cave was weird!"

"That's ...... so"

Unable to figure out the reality of the other party, the two of them just stood in place, wanting to further observe the situation.

A quarter of an hour passed, but the presence in the cave did not make the slightest sound, much less come out against them.

"Fifth brother, there's no way to wait like this!, why don't we two go in and have a look?"

Xiao Liu saw that nothing had happened for so long, so under the lure of the strange aroma, he made such a suggestion with some uncertainty.

"Hmm...... Well, that's fine! Since we're okay now, it means that the guys inside aren't in a very normal state. Just do what you say, go in and find out! But remember, don't mess around until now! Everything needs to be done with caution!"

With Mo Wu's permission, Xiao Liu promised to say yes again and again.

So, they cooperated again and began to climb towards the mouth of the cave halfway up the mountain.

This hill is more appropriately called a mound of earth than a mountain, because it is not only short in height, but also composed of loess.

With such a small dirt slope, the two of them soon approached the entrance of the cave, and the closer they got there, the more obvious the breath of life inside became.

Even Xiao Liu, a half-hanger, felt the sound of heavy breathing coming from it.

"Goo!"

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva secreted from nervousness, Xiao Liu and Mo Wu finally stepped foot and stood in the cave!

"What kind of monster is this......"

Xiao Liu exclaimed in his heart, and at this time, with the help of the light of the setting sun, he clearly saw a beast with a body size of about two and a half zhang long, lying on the ground nearly one zhang high.

The appearance of this beast Xiao Liu had never seen or heard of, its body was covered with fine scales, but its body was like a lion, and its head was similar to a lion's mane, but it was like a horse or a deer.

"Roaring ——!"

This four-like monster didn't get up because of Xiao Liu's intrusion, but just roared weakly and didn't do anything.

"Fifth brother, what is this? Why does it look so strange?"

Xiao Liu's question made Mo Wu come back from the shock, and through Xiao Liu's eyes, he carefully observed this strange beast lurking here, and found that this was actually a legendary spirit beast - Qilin!

"It has a dragon head, antlers, horse hooves, ox tails, and wolf foreheads, and is covered with colorful scale armor! Although some parts of this thing do not fully match the records, it is definitely a unicorn! What the hell is going on?! I only bumped into a blue flower a few days ago, and today I met a living unicorn in this place where birds don't?!"

Mo Wu's words were not answering Xiao Liu at all, but because he was shocked, his soul unconsciously made a sound.

"Fifth brother!? You say this is a unicorn? I've heard the legend of the unicorn before! Shouldn't it be an auspicious beast that descended from Fury in the clouds? How could it be in this earth-breaking hole, and it seems to be a little half-dead!

Xiao Liu has little knowledge, so even when he met the unicorn, he didn't show too much emotional difference from meeting a pig with wings, but the half-eaten fruit on the ground attracted his attention......

For a while, the three guys in the cave had their own thoughts, and the cave was temporarily quiet under this delicate atmosphere......
