Zhou Xiaoba and the two walked in the mountains and forests, and the surroundings had already entered darkness, and only a little moonlight shone through the branches and sprinkled on the earth.

"Shanshan, look, there are a few bluemushroom grasses there. ”

At this time, Zhou Xiaoba pointed to the dead wood stake not far in front of him, and soon the two walked over.

The dead wood was almost rotten, and there were four or five blue herbs growing on the pile.

"This blue mushroom is a lot bigger than the blue mushroom that Old Bear brews. ”

Saying that, Zhou Xiaoba uprooted the blue mushroom grass very carefully, and sold it to the medicinal herb shop to at least make a little money.

Then, the two walked forward for a while, but unfortunately they didn't find other herbs in Zhou Xiaoba's impression.

In the past, in Lane 72, Xiong Zhaomo's medicinal herbs and wine only had a few ordinary herbs, even if there were other medicinal herbs in this mountain forest, it was estimated that Zhou Xiaoba would not be able to distinguish them.

The night is dark, if you are moving forward, I am afraid that there will be danger, thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoba canceled the idea of moving forward, and just as the two of them returned, the little snake on Shanshan's shoulder crawled down her little wrist.

Hiss, hiss......

The little snake's mouth kept making noises, and its slowly wriggling body was moving towards the depths of the woods in front of it at a very fast speed.

"Shanshan, you wait here in place, don't run around, I'll go see what's going on. ”

Zhou Xiaoba naturally knew that this snake was extraordinary, and the little snake should be very calm when he listened to the old man's words before, if it wasn't for some reason, he would definitely not run around.

Zhou Xiaoba followed the traces left by the crawling of the little snake, and ran cautiously forward, for fear of disturbing the uncle who lived here.

Only Shanshan was left alone, boredly counting the grass beside her.

Under the darkness, the wriggling body of the little snake slowed down, and stopped next to a huge ancient tree, and it was difficult for people to detect the difference between the ancient trees in the dim mountain forest.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xiaoba, who was panting, followed, and the little snake seemed to sense the arrival of its master, and its small body immediately wrapped around his arm.

The small red tongue of the inverted triangular head kept spitting out, as if to express something, and the body of the little snake also made various movements.

It's a pity that Zhou Xiaoba couldn't understand it for a while, and the little snake crawled down quickly when he saw this, and then climbed onto his arm and raised his head high.

Zhou Xiaoba was puzzled, so he had no choice but to follow its example and raise his head.

Suddenly found that this ancient tree is almost ten thousand feet high, there seem to be many faint bright lights under the branches and leaves, look carefully, only feel a sour numbness in the eyes, it seems to be hallucinating, those bright lights have a kind of flickering feeling, can not be directly captured by sight.

"Hiss"

The croaking of the little snake interrupted his movements, and then he climbed up and down again on top of him, his little eyes fixed on the ancient tree.

"You're telling me to climb up the tree?"

Zhou Xiaoba asked with some doubts, the little snake's head clicked twice, and let out two more screams, as if he agreed.

"This ancient tree is so tall that you can't see the end, and I don't want to die. ”

Zhou Xiaoba hurriedly gave up this idea, only to see the little snake's little head poking into his bag, and a blue mushroom grass rolled out of his body, and then kept hissing.

"You mean, there's a fruit medicine on this tree?"

Zhou Xiaoba picked up the blue mushroom grass and put it up, and asked with some excitement in his heart.

"Hiss"

The little snake nodded again, acquiescing.

The fruit must be very valuable when it grows on such a tall fruit tree, and now he needs to buy a horse, and he tells him in his heart that it is not an ordinary need, "It is worth money, but it is a little difficult." ”

Muttering in a low voice, he took off his cotton clothes and looked at the ancient tree that could not see the top but still hesitated.

He must have climbed an ordinary tree, but this ancient tree is a bit too big, and it is estimated that he can't fully hold the two, and it is so high, he doesn't know what to do for a while.

"It doesn't matter, it's good to make money. ”

After some struggle, Zhou Xiaoba began to climb towards the top of the ancient tree, and his two arms could only clasp tightly on the bark, and in time, through the heavy cotton clothes, he still felt the hot pain in his skin without climbing twice.

Under the pain, the little snake's half-legged body slowly wrapped around his shoulder, giving out some cool feeling, which suddenly made him feel a lot better.

About half an hour later, there was a shout from below, but unfortunately Zhou Xiaoba had already climbed nearly a hundred meters on the ancient tree and didn't pay attention at all.

Whenever the pain in the body could not be suppressed, the little snake on his shoulder would emit a chill, and he was really tired, so he changed his hands and stayed in the air to rest.

About half an hour later, at last his arm reached a branch, thick enough to support him to sit down.

Just as he was resting, the little snake crawled down from his shoulder, slowly squirmed forward towards the branch, stopped at the end of the branch, and kept hissing, and Zhou Xiaoba's eyes were also attracted.

Only then did he realize that the original light was actually a flame growing in the leaves.

This made him a little puzzled, and in order to take a closer look, his body also carefully crawled towards the little snake.

As soon as the fingers touched a few leaves, the orange-red flame became a little stronger, and what was puzzling was that the flame did not seem to have a strong heat, and it was extremely cool to the touch.

As the leaves were lifted, Zhou Xiaoba's gaze was also extremely clear, only to see a fist-sized fruit with an orange flame growing on it.

"What kind of strange fruit is this, could it really be a spirit fruit?"

The flames moved with the wind, and there was a sense of fantasy under the virtual reality, it was really difficult to distinguish for a while, and in addition to being excited, Zhou Xiaoba couldn't care much about it, and reached out to take it off.
