Chapter 28 Fruit and Bear
Xie Yuan covered his head and grinned.
What the hell?
The tree is so tall, if a fruit falls, it will really hurt if it hits someone.
Xie Yuan didn't see clearly what it was. He rolled his eyes and found the fruit that had fallen on the ground at his feet. He bent down and picked it up.
He stroked the top of his forehead with one hand, raised the fruit in front of his eyes with the other, tilted his head, and looked at it doubtfully.
The fruit is about the size of a palm, a bit like a fragrant pear, thin at the top and thick at the bottom, but larger and with a more obvious curvature - in other words, it is more like a gourd;
It is green all over. The blue and green ones are really beautiful, almost a bit crystal clear, which makes people salivate inexplicably.
Hmm...it smells so good.
It smells so good!
The aroma comes from this fruit.
Xie Yuan's eyes widened. No wonder he felt that the fragrance under the tree was much stronger today. It turned out that there were fruits that were ripe and about to fall to the ground.
It just hit me on the head... It's a pity that our surname is not Niu, otherwise we would be enlightened in this life.
Xie Yuan looked up and found that the tall tree canopy was lush and green, but there was no second fruit.
“Still an only child.”
He picked up the fruit, smelled the fragrance that penetrated his lungs, and swallowed subconsciously.
I really want to eat it...I feel hungry...
Xie Yuan couldn't help but bring the fruit closer, and subconsciously wanted to open his mouth, but he hesitated for a moment:
"No way. I don’t know where this wild fruit comes from. It’s so fresh and green. What if I see a little person dancing after eating it?” , it might be gone if you freeze it overnight.
"But it really smells good...and it's not just the smell that makes me want to eat. It seems that it itself makes me a little eager. I'm either hungry or want to eat! I don't know what it tastes like when I take a bite!
“Isn’t this even more inedible? I heard that the poisonous fruit can make people want to eat it if it turns into essence..."
Xie Yuan has a cautious personality and is a little unsure about this fruit of unknown origin.
Although it is true He wanted to eat, just like seeing meat after being hungry for three days, but his reason always made him hesitate.
"This tree is a good tree. Practicing here makes people feel refreshed and the progress has been accelerated." Shao, it can be called a spiritual tree.
"The fruits produced by the spiritual tree should also be spiritual fruits, right?"
He thought as he looked at the big tree.
Anyone else might be vague and uncertain about the blessings of this forest for cultivation, but Xie Yuan has data to support this.
With a blink of an eye, several lines of numbers appeared.
【Pichai: (1107/10000)】
[Iron Clothes Shirt·Second Level: (208/800)]
[Health Kung Fu·First Level: (296/1000)]
Xie Yuan glanced at the first level of splitting firewood. A skill has been making steady progress, but it is still too early to reach the next stage, and there is nothing to say;
The progress of Tiebushi's practice has gradually become faster recently due to the foundation of health cultivation skills;
Especially in this woodland, a complete set of pile skills can often increase The ten-point progress is often only five or six points in a small courtyard at home, which is almost double the difference;
The progress of the body-nurturing skill is slower. After all, it is a temperature-nurturing internal skill, and the quality is obviously higher than this iron cloth shirt. There is no need to rush.
But similarly, if you practice health-preserving skills in the woods, your progress will be faster than at home!
Observing this, Xie Yuan would still run here even if he wasn't cutting trees to earn money for food and medicine.
I have been practicing here for a while, and there are only benefits and no other abnormalities, which is enough to prove that this is a magical spiritual tree.
Then this fruit...could it be the legendary treasure of heaven and earth?
I’ve met a baby, treat it like it’s not poison!
Xie Yuan looked a little excited and did not notice that the bushes in the distance moved quietly.
I do one good deed every day and practice diligently, so I deserve this reward. Is this kind of thing usually eaten directly or does it need to be mixed with something?
Xie Yuan sniffed twice and came to his senses.
He has already judged that this is a spiritual fruit, but it is not easy to eat directly in the wilderness.
Maybe it won’t be poisoned, but if the fruit is too spiritual, you will faint immediately after taking the supplement, just like in the storybook. It will last for seven days and seven nights. It’s hard to say what will happen.
Don’t talk about jackals, tigers and leopards, just a wild dog. I’m afraid all the bones will be lost.
He put the spiritual fruit into his arms and closed the skirt of his cotton coat, fearing that some of the fruit's spiritual energy would be consumed.
This scent is so strong, will it attract something? It is said that some beasts have very good noses and can smell movement dozens of miles away.
Xie Yuan thought like this and suddenly felt a tightness in his back. He decided to leave immediately as soon as the fruit fell.
As soon as he took a step, his feet stopped.
Because there is a large black shadow at the edge of the clearing.
A huge black bear was lying there, staring at Xie Yuan quietly.
To be precise, staring at Xie Yuan's chest.
Xie Yuan's body froze.
Blind bear!
Damn it, how could a bear come out of its cave in the middle of winter?
Is it also because of this fruit?
He instantly remembered the tiger that was here before. At that time, Zhu Dongming and others discussed for a while, how could the tiger lie here when it was fine?
Thinking about it now, it was obvious that he was guarding this spiritual tree, waiting for it to drop its fruit!
The tiger was killed, and there was no owner in this territory. This blind bear came just after smelling it, obviously because of the fruit!
Okay, Xie Yuan is now 100% sure that this fruit is definitely some kind of heavenly and earthly treasure.
The intuition and instinct of animals are much more accurate than that of humans.
The bad news is, how can he beat the bear?
One pig, two bears and three tigers.
The mountain people have long concluded that bears are more powerful than tigers in this mountain!
The last time we hunted tigers, it was also a team of hunters plus Xie Yuan, who went through many twists and turns before killing the tiger, and even seriously injured one;
This time, it was Xie Yuan alone!
“Damn it! Why doesn’t this bear hibernate?”
Being stared at by the bear, Xie Yuan felt sweat gradually dripping from his back.
If it weren't for the severe winter, Xie Yuan would not dare to walk around in the mountains alone every day. It was at this time that everything was hidden and he could travel unimpeded.
When Zhu Dongming and others go into the mountains in spring and summer, they usually go in groups.
Who would have thought that this bear made a decision that went against his instinct and stopped sleeping to look for this fruit?
This also illustrates the rarity of the fruit. Treasures in the mountains are often surrounded by guardian animals.
I have never heard of monsters in Qianshan. Tigers and black bears are the overlords here.
The black bear lay there, not moving, just staring at Xie Yuan quietly, his small eyes even showing a bit of human prudence.
Combined with this size, it was much larger than the black bear in my impression, giving Xie Yuan a great sense of oppression.
Damn it, is it still a mutant?
Xiong couldn't move, and Xie Yuan didn't dare to move either. He was gradually sweating profusely.
"What do you mean, the bear also wants to play psychological warfare? Should I lie down and pretend to be dead? Or should I spread my arms and legs and yell? This way I can die with more dignity..."
He suddenly remembered several rumors. Techniques for encountering bears, but none of them feel reliable.
Hold the ax in his hand, Xie Yuan squeezed the tiger bone ax handle wrapped with cloth tightly, and felt a little confident in his heart:
"The only way is to fight hard and find the right opportunity... ...The tiger can kill it, and so can the bear!”
At this moment, the blind bear moved.
It raised its nose, sniffed, then bared its teeth at Xie Yuan and raised its steps.
It raised its huge bear paw, one step, two steps, faster and faster, its huge fat body trembling like a mountain of meat, charging towards Xie Yuan!
