Chapter 506: ancient fruit
Chapter 506 Gu Yuanguo
"It's not the same, what's the difference?" Bai Cangdong hurriedly checked his body, but found nothing unusual.
"Look at the palm of your left hand, is there a black mark of a skull?" The tree keeper said expressionlessly.
Bai Cangdong quickly looked at the palm of his left hand. There was indeed a skull mark there, but it was a skull pattern transformed from a crystal skull, not a black skull mark.
But the tree guard didn't know that there was no mark on Bai Cangdong's hand that he was afraid to say, so he continued on his own: "Little baby, you don't have much time, as long as you enter the Guyuan Cave and absorb the Guyuan Tree breath, a skull mark appears on the palm of your hand, and you only have one hour left in your life, so hurry up and climb up the Gu Yuan tree and pick a Gu Yuan fruit, only then can you survive."
Bai Cangdong looked at the tree guard and Gu Yuanshu with complicated expressions, thinking about what was going on in his heart.
The tree keeper said so confidently, which means that the people who come in will definitely be infected with the black skull mark, and there should be no exceptions.
But there was no such imprint in Bai Cangdong's palm. Bai Cangdong didn't know whether it was because of his special body, or because he already had the crystal skull imprint.
Bai Cangdong didn't dare to reveal the problem at hand. He has no ability to protect himself now. Even if there is no death threat mentioned by the tree guard, he can only pick the Guyuan fruit, otherwise those subhumans will not let him go out alive. .
After hesitating for a while, Bai Cangdong climbed up the Guyuan tree along the huge crystal branch next to it. He had no other choice but to pick a Guyuan fruit and go out.
Gu Yuanshu's breath of death was useless to him, which reassured Bai Cangdong a lot. Since the breath was useless to him, if he went to pick the Gu Yuan fruit, there was a great possibility that he would survive.
Although we are not 100% sure, we can only take a risk at this time.
As long as he can pick a Guyuan fruit and firmly hold the Guyuan fruit in his hands, he will have the capital to negotiate with these demihumans. Whether he can escape or not depends on the struggle.
The crystal branch is extremely thick, but a small branch is as thick as a bucket, and Bai Cangdong's small body can stand on it without any problem.
Looking at the Guyuan fruit that was overgrown everywhere, Bai Cangdong chose a relatively safe place, and stretched out his hand to grab a Guyuan fruit that was very close to him.
Bai Cangdong stretched out his palm very slowly, and the Guyuan fruit was only less than 30 centimeters away from him, but Bai Cangdong's hand seemed to have traveled through a century, and he hadn't touched the Guyuan fruit for a long time.
He has been observing carefully to see if he can find any danger, but everything is the same. Except for the strange shape, the Guyuan fruit seems to be no different from ordinary fruits, just hanging on the branch quietly.
Watching Gu Yuanguo up close, he felt that Gu Yuanguo was very similar to the crystal skulls he had collected before, but Bai Cangdong saw something different.
There is something similar to a core inside these ancient yuan fruits. The core is a bit like a walnut, and it is also a crystal-like color. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t tell the difference between the two.
Bai Cangdong is very sure that the crystal skulls he collected do not have such cores, and the insides are not real, but just like the skulls of real people, the insides are all empty.
"It doesn't look like the same thing." For some reason, Bai Cangdong secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Although it has been judged that the Guyuan fruit is not the same thing as the skulls he collected, he still has to pick the Guyuan fruit.
Seeing that it had dragged on for too long, Bai Cangdong could only take a deep breath, and grabbed Gu Yuanguo, which was close at hand, with a pair of small hands as the tree keeper kept urging him.
All kinds of strange things that Bai Cangdong imagined did not happen at all. Bai Cangdong grabbed Gu Yuanguo with both hands, just like grabbing a big ripe orange. With just a light pull, Gu Yuanguo was crushed. He took it off.
"Is it picked?" Bai Cangdong looked at the Guyuan fruit in his hand in a daze, even he himself couldn't believe it, it would go so smoothly.
Holding it in his hand, he was even more sure that the Guyuan fruit was different from the skulls he had collected. The Guyuan fruit had the same jade-like texture and was solid, but its weight was much lighter than the skulls he collected. Not even half the weight of the Crystal Skull.
While Bai Cangdong was in a daze, the Guyuan fruit in his hand suddenly clicked, which startled Bai Cangdong.
The skull-like Gu Yuan fruit split open in the middle, and the walnut-like core jumped out of it.
Bai Cangdong hastily reached out to grab the walnut-like core to prevent it from falling.
In the short time that Bai Cangdong caught the fruit core, the skull-like Gu Yuan fruit melted like snow, and then directly turned into steam and disappeared.
"One fruit for one lifetime, one fruit for one lifetime, oh my god, someone has finally picked the Guyuan fruit in this life, there is hope for our subhuman race..." The tree guard broke his heart when he saw Bai Cangdong get the core The lungs roared, and there was endless desolation and longing in that voice.
Bai Cangdong jumped back into the cave passage with the fruit core, and went out along the way. This place is so weird that he didn't want to stay for even a second.
Bai Cangdong held the fruit core tightly in his hands, thinking as he walked, how to use the fruit core to escape.
The importance attached to the fruit core by the tree guards must have extraordinary significance to these demihumans. If this is used as a bargaining chip, it is very likely that they will get out alive.
The only thing that troubles Bai Cangdong now is that he has no power, not even the ability to destroy the fruit core, and if the demi-humans take it forcibly, he will not have the power to resist.
"It's all your fault that I have fallen to this point." Bai Cangdong touched the Millennium Dream entangled on his finger.
When he was about to reach the exit, Bai Cangdong hesitated for a moment, then firmly grasped the fruit core, and then strode out of the cave.
Jiu Du was still waiting outside, when he saw Bai Cangdong coming out of Guyuan Cave, Jiu Du and the two guards seemed to have seen a ghost, staring at Bai Cangdong with wide eyes, and opened their mouths for a long time without saying anything. Close up.
It took a long time for Jiu Du to realize that when he saw the fruit core in Bai Cangdong's hand, he had a complicated expression on his face.
Bai Cangdong couldn't understand the expression on Jiudu's face, but it was completely different from the excitement of the tree guard, which made Bai Cangdong feel a little weird.
"Why did Jiudu show such a strange expression when he saw the core of Guyuan fruit? They sacrificed so many things that no one could get, and now they finally took it out. Shouldn't they feel the same as the tree guards?" Is it right to be excited?" Bai Cangdong was secretly surprised.
