Chapter 505: One life, one fruit, one life
Chapter 505 One Life, One Fruit, One Fruit, One Life
At the end of this cave is a huge underground space, an unimaginably huge cave. The exit of the cave is opened on the mountain wall on one side of this underground space. It is so small that it is almost negligible, just like an ant hole in the hall. of.
And most of the underground space is occupied by a tree.
Yes, it is a tree, a tree whose whole body seems to be made of crystal. It is unbelievably big. The tree body and crown of the tree occupy more than 80% of the huge underground space.
This is not a man-made crystal object, but a real living tree. Through the crystal-like transparent trunk, you can completely see the structure inside and see the traces of life flowing.
This is an ancient crystal-like huge tree. In front of him, Bai Cangdong only felt that he was so small that he was not even as small as an ant, as if he had come to the kingdom of giants.
What surprised Bai Cangdong was not the size of the crystal tree, but the fruit on the crystal tree.
There are many fruits on the crystal tree, because the tree is too big, the number of fruits it bears can no longer be counted, but the appearance of the fruit makes Bai Cangdong feel unspeakable horror and fear.
The fruit is only the size of a human head, and it is really as big as a human head, because those fruits look like crystal-like skulls, which are no different from human skulls except for their crystal-like shape.
The huge crystal tree is covered with skulls. From a distance, it looks like clouds covering the sky made up of skulls. The feeling is indescribable.
And these crystal skulls have a unique meaning to Bai Cangdong, because the appearance of these skulls is very similar to the crystal skull he collected on the earth back then, the one that brought him from the earth to this place. The crystal skull of the world.
"Could it be that the crystal skull came from this crystal tree?" Bai Cangdong felt an unspeakable strange feeling in his heart, and stretched out his left hand to look at his palm.
Everything about her has changed to Chu Yufei's childhood appearance, except for the skull pattern on the palm of her left hand, which is still on her left hand, as if it will not change through the ages.
"It's exactly the same!" Bai Cangdong looked at the skull pattern on his palm, and then at the crystal skull-like fruits, the appearance was exactly the same.
"One fruit for one lifetime, one fruit for one lifetime, you only have one chance." An abrupt voice came into Bai Cangdong's ears, making Bai Cangdong's heart tremble.
Hastily looked in the direction of the sound, only to find that there was a person on the crystal tree.
It was an old man. Apart from the fact that he was an old man, there were really no decent features, but just by looking at him, I am afraid that no one will ever forget him again in this lifetime.
Because the body of the old man actually grew in the body of the crystal tree. The whole body seemed to be wrapped in the body of the crystal tree. Only one face was exposed, which seemed to be swallowed by the tree. Generally, the unspeakable horror is amazing.
"Who are you?" Bai Cangdong was startled by the crystal tree and the skull fruit, but he didn't see the old man growing inside the tree.
"Tree Keeper." The voice of the old man in the tree was hoarse, as if it was squeezed out of the cracks in the stones, which made people feel unspeakably uncomfortable.
"What kind of tree is this? What is the chance you mentioned?" Bai Cangdong looked at the old man in the tree who claimed to be the tree keeper and asked.
Everything here made him too shocked, too curious, and somewhat unacceptable.
"Here at the Guyuan tree, your chance is to pick a Guyuan fruit, one fruit for a lifetime, one fruit for a lifetime, you only have one chance, if you don't succeed, you will only have a dead end." said the voice.
"Why do I pick those ancient yuan fruits? What are those skull-like fruits used for?" Bai Cangdong was full of doubts. He didn't know whether these so-called ancient yuan fruits were related to the crystal skull. But they look so much alike.
"Since you have come here, you have no other choice. Pick the Guyuan fruit and go out alive, or die here and become the nourishment of the Guyuan tree. This is the path you must take." The tree keeper said. .
Didn't get the explanation he wanted, Bai Cangdong asked again: "What's the use of these ancient Yuan fruits? How can I pick them off?"
"I don't know." The tree keeper replied flatly.
"I don't know? How could you not know? You should at least tell me how to pick Guyuan fruit." Bai Cangdong shouted at the tree guard.
"I really don't know. All the people who came to pick the Guyuan fruit are dead. No one can pick even a single fruit. Naturally, I have no way to tell you how to pick the Guyuan fruit." The voice of the tree keeper revealed With unspeakable sadness.
Bai Cangdong was horrified when he heard it, all the people who picked the Guyuan fruit died, so if he went to pick the fruit, wouldn't it be a dead end.
"What a **** bastard." Bai Cangdong really wanted to scold that Shenzi and Jiudu, but it's useless to think about it, it's just a waste of energy, so why not think about how to pick off the Guyuan fruit It's important to save your life.
"How did those who picked the fruit die?" Bai Cangdong thought for a while, then asked the tree keeper.
Even if you don’t know the correct way to pick fruit, it’s good to be able to eliminate some wrong methods, at least you don’t have to repeat the mistakes of the predecessors.
"Look down." The tree keeper said lightly.
Bai Cangdong's heart skipped a beat, he walked to the edge of the cave, looked under the underground space, his face turned pale, and he saw that the ground below was covered with skeletons, and tens of millions of people died there. The bottom became dry bones.
The ground can no longer be seen below, and it is completely covered by thick dry bones. This Guyuan tree seems to grow from being rooted in the dry bones.
"Did all these people die for picking the Guyuan fruit?" Bai Cangdong asked with an ugly expression.
"I don't know. Before I came here, most of the dead bones already existed. I only saw some people died here to pick the ancient Yuanguo and turned into dry bones." The tree keeper replied.
"How did they die?" Bai Cangdong swallowed, and asked with difficulty.
"Perhaps I have seen all the ways of death you can think of." The tree keeper said flatly: "As long as his hand touches Gu Yuanguo, he will die immediately."
"Isn't it enough to pick it with your hands?" Bai Cangdong said hastily.
"The Guyuan fruit can only be picked by hand, otherwise it is absolutely impossible." The tree keeper said and glanced at Bai Cangdong: "You don't have much time, go pick the Guyuan fruit."
"Why is time running out?" Bai Cangdong frowned slightly, not knowing what the tree guard meant.
"Didn't you notice that your body is different?" There was a chilling taste in the tree guard's voice.
