Chapter Twenty-Three: Soul Fragrant Fruit
The bonfire was bright, and the crackling of burning branches sounded slowly in the silent night, and the soft light of the fire shone on the scarred man, with a little warmth.
The man leaned against the tree, probably the blood stains on his body had dried up after a long time, and his torn clothes were draped over his body, and the whole person looked a little haggard, looking at the bonfire burning in front of him with a blank look in his eyes.
The grass in the distance made a rustling sound, and when he heard the sound, the man's expressionless expression suddenly became solemn, and his whole body tensed and slowly leaned towards the girl who was lying on the ground sleeping, and his eyes looked vigilantly into the distance.
After a while, a young man walked out of the grass, and after seeing the latter's face clearly, the man's hanging heart quietly fell, and he breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the young man in front of him with respect, and the rising bonfire shone on the young man's immature face in front of him, so that he couldn't help but marvel that the young man in front of him saved himself, which was equivalent to a fifth-order blood wolf in the body.
"Uncle Pan, I'll give you a fruit to eat. Seeing the nervous expression of the man in front of him, Wu Ming grinned and said softly with a smile on his face.
No one dared to let their guard down in this vast forest, not to mention that he had just escaped death, and no one could guarantee what would happen next.
"Now, Xiuxiu this is for you. Xiuxiu slept very lightly, and when Wu Ming came, she woke her up, and when she saw Xiuxiu with her eyelids half-open, she was very cute, Wu Ming wiped the fruit in her hand with the corner of her clothes, and handed it to her.
The man's name is Pan Yue, and the little girl's name is Lin Xiu, after Wu Ming knew their identities, he was surprised, Pan Yue was a member of the mercenary group, and Lin Xiu was even more powerful, he was the daughter of Lin Feng, the owner of Lin Hai Pharmacy.
And after understanding, Wu Ming knew that when he entered the Sunset Forest just now, he encountered those corpses on the ground, it should be their Linhai Medicine Workshop, thinking about those pictures, Wu Ming couldn't help but feel cold, and he also sympathized with these two people.
Talking about these sad things, Xiu'er on the side drooped her pretty face, her big eyes were already sparkling and wet, holding her jade feet, and her face showed a look of horror and guilt.
"It's all my fault, if I hadn't been playful and picked that fruit, I wouldn't have attracted blood wolves, and the brothers and uncles of the caravan wouldn't have been killed, woo woo woo ......" Xiu'er's delicate cheeks were full of chagrin, and she raised her eyebrows casually, took out a red fluorescent fruit, and snorted angrily and threw it out.
The caravan was destroyed, it was indeed because Xiu'er was playful, Pan Yue on the side glanced at Xiu'er who was choking and sobbing, sighed helplessly and shook his head, then went over and hugged it in his arms, patted the latter's back, and comforted: "Xiu'er doesn't cry, don't blame Xiu'er, don't blame Xiu'er......."
Wu Ming glanced at them deeply, he couldn't say anything, and then moved to pick up the red fruit discarded by Xiu'er, but the heat in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
"This is the Soul Fragrance Fruit. Wu Ming pursed his lips and muttered.
The moment the fingers touched, Wu Ming's Yuan Soul trembled slightly, faintly feeling hungry and excited, and the faint fluorescence around the fruit emitted, invisibly entering Wu Ming's physical energy, the Yuan Soul was indescribably comfortable, and that feeling was exactly the same as the room in the bracelet.
Wu Ming looked at Pan Yue, who was comforting Xiu'er, obviously the latter didn't know what it was.
According to what Xiu'er said, Wu Ming slightly guessed that this soul fragrance fruit was something around the blood wolf, and it was extremely important to the latter, because this soul fragrance fruit could nourish the soul of the human being, but it could be a thing that could open the spiritual wisdom for the demon beast.
Whether the demon beast has spiritual wisdom or not, the difference in strength is simply a world of difference, and with the spiritual intelligence, the speed of the demon beast's cultivation is rapidly accelerated, and it can even speak out people's words, and its strength has risen sharply.
It's no wonder that the blood wolf before made Wu Ming feel a psychic feeling, if this fruit made the blood wolf completely open his spiritual intelligence, I'm afraid, Wu Ming would not have repelled it so easily.
And looking at its luster, this soul fragrant fruit is a little old, I think that the blood wolf deliberately raised it, and when the time is ripe, it will be refined, its strength will definitely rise, and the mind will be like an adult, at that time, in the nearby forest, I am afraid it will be respected.
Xiu'er secretly picked it up, and the anger of the blood wolf can be imagined, so there was a series of things next, although Xiu'er caused the trouble, but after all, she is still a child, what can the child know.
And it just so happened that Wu Ming followed the induction of the soul fragrance fruit and met Pan Yue and Xiu'er who were being chased by the blood wolf.
looked at the two of them, and then looked down at the soul incense fruit in his hand, Wu Ming's brows were condensed, the soul incense fruit was of great benefit to his Yuan Soul, if Wu Ming ate it, not only would the injured Yuan Soul be repaired, but it might even go further, and even reach the intermediate level of the Yuan Chu Realm.
But after all, this is someone else's thing, although Wu Ming wants it in his heart, he can't be ruthless and take away other people's things.
What should I do? It's so uncomfortable.
Pan Yue on the side also noticed that Wu Ming, whose facial features were tangled together, looked at the red fruit in his hand, rolled his eyes, and asked lightly: "Wu Shaoxia, what's wrong?"
"It's fine. ”
Hearing this, Wu Ming stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, his complexion returned to naturalness, he shook his head with a dry smile, and handed over the soul fragrance fruit.
Seeing that the latter's fiery eyes were mixed with a strong sense of reluctance, how could Pan Yue not know that he had been experienced for many years, glanced at the soul fragrance fruit in his hand, and whispered to Wu Ming: "Wu Shaoxia, do you recognize this thing?"
Wu Ming didn't speak, and nodded.
"In that case, is it okay to give it to Wu Shaoxia?" Pan Yue smiled, and then handed over the soul incense fruit in the latter's surprised gaze, and said with a smile, "Even if it is to repay Wu Shaoxia's life-saving grace?"
"This ...... Not good. ”
When Wu Ming heard this, there was a look of embarrassment on his pretty face, and he took it, but he was secretly happy in his heart, and he wanted to worry about the soul fragrance fruit, but he didn't expect Pan Yue to give it to himself, which was a bit unexpected.
"Brother Wu Ming, you just take it, anyway, I don't want that broken fruit, hum. Xiu'er also opened her mouth at this time, and then pouted and snorted coldly, don't look over, don't look at the soul fragrance fruit in Wu Ming's hand, obviously still worried about this soul fragrance fruit.
"Okay, then thank you Uncle Pan and Xiu'er. Wu Ming smiled slightly, clenched his fists and said respectfully.
Pan Yue had a warm smile on his face and nodded, but Wu Ming's excited and fiery color couldn't escape his cloudy old eyes at all.
He felt that the young man in front of him did not appear by chance to save them, but that the young man came for this fruit, so he came to the rescue.
Although I don't know what the red fruit is, it can attract the blood wolf and the mysterious boy in front of me, obviously, it is not an ordinary thing.
Pan Yue still understands the truth of his guilt, if the young man in front of him suddenly wants to rob him, then what should he and Xiu'er do? Although Wu Ming saved them, no one can guarantee what will happen next.
For the sake of safety, the cautious Pan Yue turned his eyes and gave the fruit to Wu Ming, so that Wu Ming's idea of snatching was eliminated, and Wu Ming could repay Wu Ming for saving his life, the best of both worlds.
To survive in this world, you must be cautious, walk on thin ice, and weigh interests, which is also the reason why their mercenary group can survive in this Chengrou Town.
Of course, these are Pan Yue's own conjectures, in fact, if Pan Yue doesn't give it, Wu Ming really won't rob other people's things.
His face was filled with this joyful color, and after Wu Ming glanced at the Soul Fragrance Fruit, he put it away.
"Can you store the bracelet?" This scene was seen by the sharp-eyed Pan Yue, his eyes tightened, and he muttered in his heart, "Who is this kid? I have never heard of such a young talent in the vicinity......
"I don't know where Wu Shaoxia is from, how can he be in this sunset forest?" Pan Yue smiled kindly, and then asked with a fist, probably because of the wound, the corners of the latter's eyebrows slowly retracted.
"Uncle Pan, I'm from Woyun Village in the east. Wu Ming paused, and then said, "My sister is sick, and I came to Chengrou Town to buy medicine this time." ”
"Buy medicine?" The previous words, Pan Yue was suspicious, but the latter words made him stunned, and then his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Shaoxia really doesn't hide it, Xiu'er's Linhai Pharmacy is doing medicinal materials business in Chengrou Town, and there are all kinds of medicinal materials, why don't we go back to Chengrou Town together, and it will be much more convenient for you when the time comes." ”
Although Wu Ming is friend or foe, Pan Yue is still unclear, but the latter's strength is also a real quenching sixth order, with such a master by his side, they will be much safer.
Originally, I was worried that Wu Ming would leave them if he got the Soul Fragrance Fruit, but he didn't expect Wu Ming to go out of Chengrou Town to buy medicine, and Xiu'er's Linhai Pharmacy happened to be the largest medicine merchant in Chengrou Town, which gave Pan Yue a reason to partner with Wu Ming.
Hearing this, Wu Ming was slightly stunned, a little unexpected, but he should have known that Lin Hai Pharmacy was engaged in the medicine workshop business, and the name had to be a medicine workshop, and if he didn't do the medicinal herb business, what else would he do.
Since it is a medicine shop business, there may be yang fire attribute medicinal materials that my sister needs, which also saves some trouble, after all, he has not been to Chengrou Town yet.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Uncle Pan. Wu Ming nodded and smiled.
"Oh, Wu Shaoxia is polite, the grace of saving his life cannot be repaid, I will definitely repay you when I get to Chengrou Town, if the medicinal materials that Wu Shaoxia wants are not available in Linhai Pharmacy, then go to our mercenary group to find it, and I Pan Yue will definitely find it for you." ”
Seeing that Wu Ming responded, Pan Yue was overjoyed, and he hugged his fists and promised, and Xiu'er on the side also nodded again and again: "Yes, yes." ”
He also understood the meaning of Pan Yue's words, but even if Pan Yue didn't say it, Wu Ming would not leave them in this dangerous sunset forest.
Wu Ming also smiled at this, and after chatting a few words, several people fell asleep one after another.
In this way, in the past three days, Wu Ming and Pan Yuexiuer walked together.
During this period, they were attacked by demon beasts a few times, but they were all low-level demon beasts, Wu Ming casually sent away with two punches, Rao is so, walking in this sunset forest, they all increased their vigilance, which also made their spirits become a lot haggard, but Wu Ming is okay, his Yuan Soul power is far more abundant than them.
The mist in the forest gradually dissipated, walking along the deep forest road, Wu Ming looked around vigilantly, although it was relatively safe during the day, but Wu Ming did not dare to ensure that those demon beasts would not attack the three people who were left behind.
Not long after walking, Wu Ming saw a bright light at the end of the forest road, and knew that this dangerous sunset forest was finally about to pass through, and everyone looked at each other happily, and then walked towards the bright light, and the pace couldn't help but get faster.
After a while, the dim vision suddenly brightened, and everyone found that they had walked out of this forest, and the red morning sun on the horizon slanted over, dispelling the mist here, and the sun was sprinkled on the young man's handsome face, the corners of his mouth were filled with a smile with a hint of warmth, the young man took a deep breath, opened his arms slightly and slowly closed his eyes to enjoy this feeling.
The Sunset Forest and the Chaoyun Mountain Range, past this Sunset Forest, is the endless Sunset Grassland, and Nachengrou Town is in this grassland.
