CHAPTER 359: CHAPTER 359: THE SEVEN COLORED FRUITS

Soon, the fire lizard and the white tiger were entangled in battle and it spilled out of the cave to the outside.

Upon seeing this, Chu Miao ordered her brother and the others to help the tiger hold off the fire lizard while she and Ye Xuan sneaked into the cave to take the fruits.

There was no way she was going to leave the fruits for the fire lizard. Moreover, she planned on taking the tree with her too.

Those fruits could be so beneficial to cultivators, of course it can’t be a one-time thing. They had to take the tree and nurture it to bear more fruit.

Even though the cave was dark and smelled like the inside of a dog’s stomach that had been eating shit to survive, there was a small area in a corner that was slightly illuminated.

However, this area was not illuminated by a source of light like the famous luminous pearls or any other source. Instead it was illuminated by the fruits on a small and short tree growing in the corner.

The tree wasn’t big, about one and a half meters tall. Even a five-year-old could pick the fruit while standing on the ground.

There were quite a number of fruits on the tree, but what made Chu Miao and Ye Xuan amazed was the fragrance that made their bodies feel lighter and spiritual power run smoother in their meridians.

They couldn’t help but be awed. They hadn’t even eaten the fruit yet, but just the fragrance was so effective, the results of the real fruit could be imagined.

Another shocking thing was the colors of the fruits. Unlike most fruits that turn yellow, golden, red, or black when they ripen, the fruits on this tree were quite different.

It was just one tree, but there were multicolored fruits in it. This was something both of them had never seen or heard of.

How can the fruits on one tree be different colors? There were fruits in red, blue, purple, green, golden, orange, brown, and another one that looked as clear as water.

In fact, if the leaves of the tree weren’t so green and lush, it would have been difficult to see the clear fruits.

Even though the two were amazed, they didn’t dare to linger for long as they could hear the sound of the battle outside getting more intense.

It was obvious that the fire lizard this time wasn’t playing and would kill if it had to. Moreover, they didn’t forget that Little White had said that other animals were coming this way from different directions.

Thus, Chu Miao hurried to the tree and took out two small shovels. She gave one to Ye Xuan and asked him to go to the other side while she squatted down and started digging.

Ye Xuan immediately understood her meaning and did as he was told.

They began to dig the dirt around the small tree and soon exposed its roots. Seeing this, they moved faster and within a few minutes, the tree with its fruits was put away in the soul ring by Chu Miao.

She didn’t have time to plant it in the space yet as their priority at that moment was to leave that place. She could feel that some magical beasts had entered her range of divine sense and considering that this was the ancient battlefield and the fire lizard was probably the weakest beast they would face, she decided it was best to leave first. Other things could be discussed later.

Therefore, she and Ye Xuan ran outside and had everything gathered together. The injured were carried by those who could still move and wanted to stand beside Chu Miao.

At that moment, the fire lizard had just stopped attacking, looking around in confusion as the fragrance of the fruits had just disappeared into this air.

It couldn’t understand what had happened. This bought the team some time to gather and as Chu Miao was about to teleport away, she threw one red fruit near the mouth of the fire lizard.

Even though they had fought, the fire lizard had still benefited them. Not only had it nurtured and protected the tree until it bore fruits and they ripened, but it had also served as a whetstone for their group to train their fighting skills and stabilize their cultivation.

It had simply given them too many benefits. So, it wasn’t wrong to leave one fruit for it.

She assumed that the different colored fruits represented different elements and since the fire lizard had the fire element, the red fruit should be right for it.

And indeed, Chu Miao was right. When the fruit was thrown towards its mouth, the beast instinctively opened its mouth and caught it then swallowed it.

It realized that it was the fruit it had been guarding after swallowing because of the fragrance left in its mouth.

Moreover, as soon as the fruit touched the inside of the throat, it started dissolving even before reaching the stomach.

The fruit produced a kind of warm energy that spread throughout its body. Its meridians felt as if they had expanded and a lot of energy rushed to its core.

The fire lizard realized that it was about to break through and rushed into the cave.

Chu Miao, of course, didn’t wait for all this to happen. As soon as she threw that fruit, she immediately held Ye Xuan’s hand who was touching the shoulder of Pei Ming and the others also held onto each other.

Her other hand touched Little White’s side who had not shrunk back yet and soon, the space where they were standing twisted and they disappeared on the spot.

Because Chu Miao didn’t know the situation in the forest combined with the fact that there were beasts that had been alerted by the fragrance of those fruits, she didn’t dare to teleport into an unknown location.

Instead, she teleported to a spot in the path they had taken on their way to the cave.
