The bright red fruit, which resembles a tender apple, was originally tightly wrapped in leaves, but when revealed, it released a faint fragrance that made people smell and get drunk.
"Although this fruit is small, it has reached the point where it can be picked. But if it is left unpicked and left to ripen, it can no longer be plucked and can only wait for it to fall naturally and return to the tree as a nourishing thing......"
As Ariel explained, more and more branches fell from above, and finally dozens of bright red fruits with similar appearances appeared in front of Raymond, and the fragrance that spread from them finally caught the attention of the young girl Becky and Cristal, who returned to Raymond's side from among the branches where they were hiding.
"This fruit tree that was conceived by the old man should be the seventy-fourth generation of the old man's descendants, if it weren't for the previous moths, it would have sprouted its sanity at this moment......
There was sigh and emotion in Ariel's tone, but what he said still surprised Raymond, and he couldn't help but ask why.
This is the secret of the old man's race, but it cannot be explained in detail. The old man could only say that the cultivation of the descendants of the Soul Sacrifice Fruit Tree requires timing and opportunity, and if you want to cultivate it with the help of the seeds in the fruit, it will definitely not be able to make it sprout and bear real fruits......
Hearing this, the girl Becky was puzzled, and asked when she asked. "That's not right! The Great Elder of the Phantom Butterfly Village said that the Soul Sacrifice Fruit Tree could not only be removed by those guardians, but could also allow its fruit to ripen and fall to breed new plants!"
"There is a difference in the fruits of the Soul Sacrifice Fruit Tree. Even if the fruit trees cultivated by the seeds of Tongguò can bear fruit and ripen the fruit, the essence contained in the two fruits is indistinguishable, and the mystery of this is the secret of the old man's race. I really can't say more......"
Speaking of this, seeing that the girl Becky was still gloomy, Ariel, who smiled bitterly, sent a few fruits to the girl Becky and Christel, and gestured. "Remember to absorb the juice immediately after taking it off, and don't waste even the skin at the end, so that the essence will not escape......"
Crystal was still hesitant to keep an eye on the fruits, and when Becky, the skeptical girl, picked one and brought it to her lips, a baby's face suddenly appeared on the fruit. Wow, it howled!
The sudden change made the girl Becky startled, and with a shake of her hands, the fruit flew up, screaming and dodging behind Raymond!
And Christel, who reacted half a beat slower. As if stunned, after being stunned, his body turned into a cloud of green smoke and escaped directly into the rusty badge!
And Raymond, who caught the fruit with his right hand, also had a black face at the moment. The sensation released by the movement of the mind seeped into the fruit. In addition, the wave of its left hand also envelops the fruit with a barrier, blocking its contact with the outside world.
It's just that to his surprise, this fruit can't be completely cut off from the outside world by the isolation barrier, and the slightest inexplicable aura is still escaping in wisps, but the baby's face that emerges on the surface of the fruit is still howling, but the sound is blocked by the isolation barrier.
Having thought of something in vain, Raymond immediately sank his face and yelled at Ariel. "The Soul Fruit Tree also belongs to the Whisperer race?"
There was a surprised look on his face, and Ariel replied. "Huh, you know the race of the Lightwhisperers, do you know the other Lightwhisperers?"
Hearing this, his heart was relieved, but Raymond, who still had a straight face, stared at Ariel's pupils and emphasized word by word. "If you dare to continue to manipulate the fruit, make a sound, or stick out something. I'll show you the consequences of playing tricks on Krystal!"
There was a hint of fear in his expression, and Ariel immediately agreed.
Took a deep breath. Raymond, who was about to open his mouth and roar, turned his gaze back to the fruit in his hand.
The bright red fruit wrapped in the barrier had now recovered to its original state, but the wisps of inexplicable substance escaping from its interior were indeed escaping at an accelerated rate, so he brought the fruit to his mouth, biting through its skin and sucking the juice that flowed from it.
The juice with a light fragrance melted in the mouth, surging and flowing on the tip of the tongue, and the bright red peel was also sucked clean inside and then chewed and swallowed by Raymond, and finally the core the size of a sesame seed was placed in the palm of Raymond's hand.
The whole body is emerald green, and the core of the fruit like a gem has a faint fluorescence release at first, but in the blink of an eye, it loses its emerald green color and becomes ordinary.
Becky, a young girl who hid behind Raymond and witnessed the eating process, finally couldn't help but get angry at this point, and roared at Ariel.
Because Ariel, who was frightened by the 'whisperer' mentioned by Raymond, also knew that she was wrong when the girl Becky scolded, and without distinguishing between them, she sent a red and bright fruit to her, as if it was a tease, and finally made her lose her anger and start eating it in the way Raymond had done before.
One ......
Two ......
Three ......
When the five fruits were eaten by the girl Becky, the girl Becky, whose body became more and more solid, realized that something was wrong, and her body shook back to Raymond's left shoulder, covering her stomach with a comfortable face.
Raymond, who had been observing Ariel, also spoke. "Do all whisperers have such bad tastes? If you don't intimidate, you don't want people to taste it?"
"It's the custom of the Whisperer race, it's not that the old man really wants to make you uncomfortable, it's that the custom has to be ......"
Ariel, who smiled bitterly, sighed when he said this, and then asked with some eagerness. "Mistress Raymond, have you seen any of the other whisperers?"
"I have seen it on the West Coast of the wizard plane and the Liguo Forest in the Central Continent, and Mo Xi'er, who claims to be the elder of the Whisperers, is also quite friendly......
Speaking of which, the pent-up anger in his chest finally couldn't be suppressed, and Raymond roared in annoyance. "Ariel, is this really the quirk of the whisperers?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this is really a tradition that the Whisperer race must maintain, if you had told the old man that you had met other Whisperers, the old man would naturally not be like this again......"
When Ariel said this, Raymond was a little speechless.
The red fruit that he ate when he entered the wizard plane before was raised because of the old tree of Old Moses, and after many events, he arrived at Mo Xi'er of the Whisperer race in the Liguo Forest, which made him finally untie the knot in his heart for many years.
It's just that he didn't expect to meet Ariel who is a Whisperer race in this underworld, and if it weren't for the fruit howling in vain just now, he would never have thought that Ariel would also be one of the Whisperer races.
So after calling out to Cristal to no avail, Raymond continued to ask. "Is it the custom of all whisperers to make those who eat their fruit so frightened?"
"This is an ancient ritual belonging to the Whisperers, and unless it is known that the eater of the fruit already knows the existence of the Whisperer race, it is a necessary process......"
Listening to Ariel's explanation, Raymond's heart moved in vain, but even though he interrupted it, he asked. "Does that mean that most of the Soul Sacrifice Fruit Trees in the Underworld are under the constraints of those guardians, so that a scene like this has been forgotten?"
Ariel, who was stunned, changed his expression drastically, and then roared angrily. "What! The outside world no longer knows about such practices! These greedy, damned moths! The old man must extinguish them......"
Becky, the girl who was sitting on Raymond's left shoulder, also understood at this time, and even teased. "Your body can't be moved, how can you extinguish those guardians ......" (to be continued......
