Chapter 18 The Magical Fruit Reappears
As the white mist the size of a pigeon egg was absorbed by the magical tree, a message emerged in Lin Li's mind.
“One percent.”
What does it mean? Do you want me to kill ninety-nine more of these strange beasts for you, so that you can grow that magical little fruit again?
Although Lin Li had such questions in his mind, no more information emerged in his mind.
"Come on! There are only ninety-nine strange beasts. It will be completed soon."
Lin Li cheered himself up in his heart, and then left this mysterious island with a thought.
......
The golden sun on the horizon slowly climbed up. As it got higher and higher, the heat it spread to the earth gradually increased, and some humid wilderness became dry.
As noon approached, a tall figure was chasing a short figure in the deserted wilderness.
Both sides were chasing each other. When the short figure that was running away came to the creek and was about to dive into the water to escape, it was overtaken by the tall figure that was chasing after it.
"Pfft."
The long sword, a spiritual weapon that glowed with light golden aura, thrust out as fast as lightning, instantly piercing the rabbit's head.
“Bang.”
Just as he was about to jump up, the rabbit jumped into the creek and was killed instantly. His body flew forward due to inertia and hit the ground and rolled several times. Just stopped.
"Huh..."
Looking at the rabbit beast that he killed with one blow, Lin Li gasped and muttered, "This guy really knows how to escape! If he were one step later, he would be killed. It jumped into the creek and escaped."
After Lin Li returned to the real world from the mysterious island, he began to hunt for strange animals.
After working all morning, including the one in front of him that was just killed, he killed a total of 6 rabbits and beasts in the morning.
Only 6 rabbits and beasts were killed in one morning, which made Lin Li very dissatisfied.
If the efficiency is still the same in the afternoon, he will hunt at most thirteen to fourteen rabbits and beasts in a day.
His current goal is to kill ninety-nine beasts. According to the current progress, it will take about a week to complete this goal.
Too slow.
There are not many exotic animals around here! It took me a long time to find a strange beast.
Why don’t you wait for lunch before heading deeper into the wilderness?
Easily killing several strange beasts in one morning greatly increased Lin Li's self-confidence, making him want to break the 1 kilometer radius of activity that he had set at the beginning.
The outer reaches of the wilderness have been raided many times by alien hunters, causing most of the alien beasts living here to subconsciously flee deep into the wilderness once they hear any disturbance.
There used to be a group of bold and large rabbits and beasts living in this area. After Lin Li killed several rabbits and beasts one after another, many rabbits and beasts who got wind of the situation immediately began to flee.
This made it increasingly difficult for Lin Li to find rabbits and other exotic animals.
“That’s it. After lunch, we’ve decided to go a short distance deeper into the wilderness... maybe five hundred meters! There shouldn’t be much danger if we walk another five hundred meters. ”
In order to speed up the progress, Lin Li thought about it in his heart and then made a decision.
Then, he came to the rabbit beast whose head was pierced by his sword. He stretched out his right hand and pointed his index finger on the rabbit beast.
With a thought, Lin Li took this rabbit into a mysterious island.
A bloody rabbit corpse appeared out of thin air on a mysterious island.
Within a few seconds after the rabbit's body appeared on the mysterious island, the body turned into a white mist and was absorbed by the magical tree not far away.
After absorbing the flesh and blood of 6 rabbits and beasts in succession, the magical little tree that originally looked a little malnourished became a lot more energetic. Some yellow leaves began to turn green, and a small green fruit the size of a rice grain actually grew on the brown branches.
If you don’t observe carefully, you won’t be able to spot this small green fruit the size of a rice grain with your naked eyes.

“I see, I see…”
Lin Li stood by the crystal clear stream and found a big tree with a slightly quieter cicada chirp.
Walking into the shade of the trees, getting ready for lunch.
After a busy morning, the spiritual energy in the body was not used up much. In order to chase those rabbits and beasts that were running for their lives, the physical strength was used up a lot. At this time, the stomach was already growling with hunger.
With a thought, a black backpack was taken out by Lin Li from the mysterious island.
He opened the zipper on his backpack and took out a box of self-heating rice.
I unpacked it, went to the stream and filled it with some water, and then the rice began to heat itself.
A few minutes later.
Lin Li was holding the heated self-heating rice in his hand, leaning against the leafy tree, blowing the cool breeze in the wilderness, listening to the cicadas chirping on the tree, and eating with relish. The self-heating rice does not taste particularly delicious.
When I’m hungry, even self-heating rice, which I usually don’t like to eat, tastes delicious.
You know, the self-heating rice that Lin Li was eating with relish was something he bought online half a year ago.
At that time, he bought three boxes at once. After eating one box, he felt that it didn't taste very good and it would be a pity to throw it away... So he put the remaining self-heating rice in the storage room.
Originally, Lin Li had forgotten the two boxes of self-heating rice in the storage room, but now, his entire net worth is only a few dozen yuan.
It was poverty that reminded him that he still had two boxes of self-heating rice that were about to expire.
“Hiccup~”
After eating, Lin Li burped, and the taste of self-heating rice in his mouth made him frown slightly.
When I was hungry, I ate this self-heating rice that didn't taste very good and thought it was delicious. Now that I'm full, I feel a little disgusted with it.
“Hey, I’m a pauper now. If I don’t make some money, I won’t even be able to pay the electricity bill at home, let alone food.”
On average every month Lin Li, who had to pay nearly 200 yuan for electricity, suddenly thought that today was the day to pay the electricity bill.
He felt that it was better not to provide the flesh and blood of exotic beasts to the magical tree for the time being, and to hunt some exotic beasts to earn some money. Maintaining his own livelihood was the top priority.
“Swiss, swish, swish…”
Suddenly there was a movement in the bushes that were more than one meter high, and then a rabbit nearly one meter tall jumped out of the bushes.
This rabbit had just woken up in its nest and was a little thirsty, so it wanted to go to the stream to drink some water.
What kind of luck is this! So unlucky.
The rabbit and the beast just jumped out of the bushes and were going to the stream to drink some water to quench their thirst.
I saw a human standing under a leafy tree by the creek. At this moment, the other person's face was full of surprise, staring at him with greedy eyes.
