Chapter 5: Spirit Swallowing Fruit
"Oops" screamed, and a black shadow vicious dog fell straight to the ground from the air like a pounce, and then there was a roar of anger behind him, and a shaking sensation like shaking the mountain.
I saw a huge brown bear with a body size of nearly three feet, constantly colliding with the mouth of the earth and stone cave less than three feet in size. With the sound of beast roars, the small earth and rocks around the cave entrance were violently impacted and shook to the ground.
Listening to the roar outside, the black shadow on the ground obviously refused to stay where it was, and tried to support its body, trying to get up from the ground and flee again.
But every time he just lifted his body less than a foot high, the two thin arms softened weakly in a violent tremor, and then his body was once again soft and had an intimate place with the earth. After a few times like this, the shadow lay motionless in the place
"Am I really going to be eaten by this beast for dinner?" Thinking of this, the black shadow suddenly felt depressed, and a drop of crystal tears slid silently down the young face to the dark ground again.
"No, I haven't seen the gods yet, I haven't done what I promised my brother, I don't want to be eaten. After a brief period of sadness, the dark shadow's immature and frightened face began to show a resolute expression. A pair of dark eyes also glow with the brilliance of birth again.
An hour later, the earth-shattering roar and violent shaking behind him suddenly disappeared.
A bruised brown bear, with unwilling eyes, looked at the almost intact and iron-solid hole, turned around and slowly climbed out of a cave.
Feeling that there was no movement behind him, as if he felt that his whole body had regained a trace of strength, the black shadow supported his thin body with trembling hands, and slowly climbed up from the ground. Then, with a nervous look on his face, the black shadow turned around in a panic and began to look at the entrance of the cave.
I saw that the entrance of the cave was half a foot high from the ground, and I thought that I was in a panic just now, so I suddenly stepped on the air and fell to the ground.
However, the hole was sturdy enough, and it didn't collapse after being hit by the huge brown bear for an hour, which made the black shadow amazed. He seemed to be relieved, and after taking a long breath, he turned around and continued to look at his environment.
In front of me is a cave of four or five zhang in size, and there is a mysterious small waterhole in the middle of the cave. From time to time, a trace of white gas came out of the spring inside, and not far from the pool, there was a dark green plant more than two feet high. In addition, there are only a few small translucent holes left, and there is nothing else, which looks extremely ordinary.
But for some reason, at this time, a few rays of starlight were being reflected into the cave through the light transmission hole. It's shocking, where is this cave? It can be avoided by the dense forest, so that the starlight outside can be reflected in the cave.
After looking around to make sure that there was no more danger, the black shadow went limp, and sat down on the ground.
This thin black shadow is naturally none other than Zhang Peng, who finally escaped death.
The dangerous scenes that happened today are now appearing in his mind, which makes his back cold and cold sweat break out. First, he was surrounded by a pack of wild dogs picking fruits, and he had to climb up the mountainside step by step along the cliff, and finally felt that he had escaped death. I wanted to find a hidden place to hide, but I didn't expect to enter the tiger's mouth as soon as I got out of the wolf's den.
Zhang Peng had just entered the cave, but not long after he left, there was a strong fishy smell in the air, which made him almost choke out of a moment.
This unusual smell is familiar to both adults and children in the village, and it is the smell of something rotting. And where this smell often appears, it is emitted by the decomposition of the prey that remains after the leftover wild animals. He immediately covered his mouth with his hand, but fortunately he covered his mouth at the last minute, otherwise it would have been dinner.
After walking less than two miles ahead, the front suddenly became wider, and the smell of fishy smell was even stronger. This made Zhang Peng immediately become more cautious and hide behind a boulder at the entrance of the passage.
He stretched out half of his head, and by the faint green light of the cave, he could see the situation in the cave in front of him clearly. The cave in front of it was a rotunda, and for some reason there were no less than seven or eight passages around it, and in the center of the hall, there were several unknown black and white objects piled up like hills, which looked like a mess, and there was nothing else.
This made Zhang Peng, who had been nervous just now, suddenly feel a lot easier, but he didn't run out recklessly. Instead, after observing for a while, after making sure that there was no danger, he slowly approached the center of the hall cautiously.
As soon as he walked into the hall, the smell was several times that of before, and when he walked up to the pile of things that were piled up like a hill, although the things on the ground were the same as what he had in mind, the situation was indeed very different from what he had predicted, and it was not the same thing at all.
Just now, because the distance was too far and the light was too dim, he thought that some wild beasts had died here naturally. But now seeing the bones of this large pile of beasts on the ground, many of them were left recently, and the surrounding beast hair and blood were still very fresh, this scene made Zhang Peng, who had just calmed down, immediately raise his heart to his throat again.
It seems that this cave must not be able to stay, and must leave immediately. Zhang Peng muttered cautiously in his mind. But before he could move his feet, there was a sudden roar of anger and a violent shaking sensation from another passage in the hall.
This made Zhang Peng immediately frightened, regardless of the fact that he ran towards the few smallest passages in the hall. On the way, he changed direction several times, and each time he followed the smallest passage, only to run to this cave by mistake, and was able to save a small life for the time being.
"Immortals, immortals, I usually burn incense for you to petition, please bless me now, I don't want to be eaten by wild beasts. Zhang Peng kowtowed respectfully on the ground three times, prayed and made a wish before sitting back in place.
After a gurgling, gurgling sound, Zhang Peng slowly got up from the ground. When he walked to the edge of the pool, he put his head directly into the pool and began to drink wildly, and after a while, he felt that his hunger and thirst had been solved, and he immediately looked up at the only plant here.
He had not had time to look closely at the tree because he was too nervous and tired just now, but now that the danger was temporarily lifted, he immediately locked his eyes on the tree and ran to it in a few steps.
I saw that the stems and leaves of this thing were in the shape of a shuttle, and there were faint silver patterns between the leaves and stems. And on the top of this thing abruptly grow two strange pale silver fruits. This fruit is large and small, just like a gourd hanging upside down, and the whole is shining with a faint white light, which illuminates the dim space around it a lot, making this thing seem extremely mysterious.
Seeing that this fruit was so magical, Zhang Peng didn't pick it immediately. Because of the legend of the forbidden land in the entire Xishan Range, as well as his familiarity with wild fruits, he did not dare to eat them at will.
When they were usually in Dongshan Ridge, they found that although there were many wild fruits there, most of them were something they could not eat. Because most of them are poisonous, only a small part of them are edible after the villagers have explored the times.
And the current fruit tree did not resemble the wild fruits he knew at any point, which made him feel helpless and uncomfortable with hunger.
Scratching his head, there was no other way, he simply didn't look at the fruit tree again, and fell to the ground to prepare for sleep. He thought to himself that if he fell asleep, he might not be hungry, maybe the fright he received today was too great, and he fell asleep after a while.
An hour,
Two hours,
Four hours have passed, and the starlight shining into the cave at this time is much stronger than before Zhang Peng went to sleep, and the light in the cave has also intensified a lot.
With a few coo, coo, and coo, Zhang Peng woke up again, not because of anything else, but because he was too hungry. Today, he has only eaten three sweet potatoes and a wild fruit.
Slowly sitting up, he began to miss his brother and parents, and after a while, a few crystal tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, after all, he was still a seven-year-old child. It didn't take long for Zhang Peng, whose tear stains were not on his face, to stare at the mysterious little tree in front of him again.
At this time, the small tree as a whole emitted a faint silver light under the light of the stars, and the faint white light emitted by the two fruits hanging on the branches also became more dazzling. A small hand trembled and stretched out to the fruit tree in front of him, Zhang Peng was also very nervous at this time, in his opinion, this fruit was so strange, and he had never heard his family and village partners talk about it, but it grew in the middle of the Xishan Ridge, and it was a poisonous fruit.
After eating this fruit, it is likely that he will never see his parents, his brother and his beloved little sister again. But if you don't eat, you probably won't be able to survive tomorrow, and if you go out, you may not have the strength to run away and be eaten by wild beasts. The thought of being eaten by a wild beast made that immature and slightly dark little face immediately become firm.
After a while, the trembling little hand grabbed the fruit, and the fruit was cold in the hand, and a cool breath rushed into the body along the arm, making Zhang Peng's heart nervous. All of a sudden, I calmed down and relaxed a lot.
With a slight push on the fingers, the fruit fell under stress without feeling too much strain. Holding the slightly glowing fruit, after looking at it a few times, after thinking about his parents, brother and little sister one by one, Zhang Peng resolutely sent the fruit to his mouth.
The teeth easily penetrated the skin of the fruit, and a thick fragrance and sweet juice instantly filled the mouth. Stimulated by this sweet taste, Zhang Peng immediately gave up his last vigilance and began to devour it in large gulps.
After a while, he ate the fruit in his hand and ate a little bit of it. This fruit is strange to say, after biting, it melts in the mouth, so that it is not wasted. This had to make Zhang Peng, who was nostalgic for the taste of this fruit, have to lick his lips with his tongue.
"Since you have already eaten the first one, it doesn't matter what it is, if it is a poisonous fruit, there is no difference between eating one and eating two, it is better to die of hunger than to starve to death. Besides, there doesn't seem to be such a delicious poisonous fruit. At this time, Zhang Peng was reminiscing about the strange taste brought by the previous fruit, and muttered to himself.
Immediately, a small hand immediately grabbed the only remaining fruit and brought it into Zhang Peng's mouth. Just when Zhang Peng picked the last spirit fruit and took a big bite, he didn't notice that the small tree around him was changing rapidly;
First, the pale silver spirit pattern on the whole small tree flashed a few times and then disappeared, and then its color quickly faded from dark green, and in less than a cup of tea, the whole small tree became extremely ordinary.
"I finally feel full, it doesn't seem to be poison." Zhang Peng touched his stomach with satisfaction, and muttered a few words in his mouth.
