Chapter 36: Red fruit

"Villager, although this mandrill has lost a lot of its essence and blood, its flesh is still a great tonic."
"If you take it back and cook it for the erlangs in the cottage, it will definitely increase their vitality and meet the needs of martial arts!"
Then, Lu Zhishen pointed to the mandrill whose head was severed by Ji Ye and said in his mouth.
The ancients said that the poor culture and the rich martial arts are just because martial arts is an extremely consuming matter.
In particular, the cultivation of internal strength is not like the "earth and stone tactics" that absorbs the vitality of the world, but is formed by transforming one's own qi and blood. To continue, the most important thing is to supplement various foods!
This was actually very difficult to do in the former Erlong Mountain. After all, it was not really a deep mountain and Daze, and the wild animals in it were hardly enough for hundreds of people to practice martial arts.
However, now there are a large number of monsters in the strongholds around the Erlong Mountain Village. In addition, there are only dozens of people in the cottage who meet the conditions for learning martial arts, and they can fully practice martial arts through meat eating.
Especially this mandrill, as a mortal-level creature, contains a lot of essence in its flesh and blood, and one piece of flesh is worth a few pieces of ordinary mortal-level creatures.
In fact, the black snake meat killed by Ji Ye also had this quality, but because the black snake ate the people in the cottage, no one wanted to eat its meat.
"Don't worry!"
"Leader Lu, have you noticed one thing? The mandrill's retreat and escape directions are all towards this side."
Ji Ye shook his head, and then pointed to the direction of the decapitated mandrill body on the ground.
"At this distance, it is more like an old horse knowing the way, finding a way in a complex mountain forest."
"Like this kind of mountain spirits and wild monsters, legends will create a cave in the mountains, and most of them will have some special treasures. I suspect that its cave is nearby. Why don't we go and explore it first?"
Ji Ye's face was full of interest.
Of course, this is just speculation from the settings in some novels, but these creatures in the Land of Inheritance are themselves produced from legends, and this possibility does exist!
More importantly, this world is full of game-like rules, and in many games, powerful monsters will guard the "treasure box".
Lu Zhishen naturally did not mean to reject Ji Ye. After all, Ji Ye belonged to the village master, and what he said was not unreasonable.
As for finding Mandrill’s cave, this is not too difficult at all, because Ji Ye is very professional in finding clues in the jungle!
"This is it!"
Soon, Ji Ye found the Mandrill's cave, which was located about one third of the height of the entire mountain. The entrance of the cave was even covered by some vines and rocks.
However, under Ji Ye's powerful eyesight, he was found out.
After removing the cover of the hole, the noses of the two people immediately smelled a scent of fragrance. Although just smelling it, it immediately made people feel refreshed.
"Is there really something?"
Some surprises appeared on Lu Zhishen's face.
"Well, there is no danger..."
Ji Ye threw a stone in, and after hitting the wall to make a violent noise, the monster could not rush away from it.
Afterwards, the two walked directly in.
The cave is deeper, and even turned two turns. The more you go inside, the darker the light, but the stronger the fragrance.
But after the two turned the second bend, a bright light appeared in the dark cave itself. It was the sunlight shining from above the rock at the top of the cave in a gap connected to the outside!
And under the sun, a small tree with a dark red color and a height of more than one meter grew in the hole.
And the source of the fragrance was hanging on the tree at this time. A dozen crimson fruits about the size of a baby's fist, under the light above the head, exuded the crystal light like red agate.
【Chiguo】
Level: Transformation First
Quality: Excellent·Rare
Explanation: The degraded vermillion fruit offspring was irrigated by a mandrill with a large amount of blood sperm and thus mutated. After the fruit matures, eating it can enhance a certain amount of qi and blood, and can also eliminate certain poisons.
"Enhance Qi and Blood!"
When the two focused their attention and saw the attributes of this plant.
Suddenly, his eyes widened and his face was full of joy.
For martial arts, qi and blood itself are the most needed.
Because only enough qi and blood can be transformed into internal power without loss.
In a sense, this kind of "red fruit" can be said to not only enhance physical fitness, but also increase the internal strength of the eater to a certain extent!
However, the color of the more than a dozen fruits on the tree is not consistent. Some are already flushed and almost transparent, while others are relatively dull, and they should be of different maturity.
In addition, there are traces of being picked.
Obviously, some mature fruits have been eaten by the mandrill, which is probably the reason why it can reach the second stage of Transmutation.
"Hey, not only this fruit, but the soil on the ground below has attributes."
And Ji Ye's eyes swept away, and he even noticed that the dark red soil under the tree was also unusual.
【Blood Soil】
Level: Transformation Zero
Quality: Normal
Explanation: After a large number of biological blood infections, a changed soil is produced, which can meet the growth requirements of some special metamorphosis plants.
"Well, there are a lot of dead animals in this cave."
At this time, Lu Zhishen noticed that in the cave, with this "red fruit" as the center, there were many dead beasts around.
A one-meter-high green wolf, three to four hundred catties of wild boar, an adult golden leopard...
Even Ji Ye found the corpse of a Siberian tiger in the cave. Such a creature that is regarded as a top predator on the earth, in this place of inheritance, is completely the target of hunting.
Obviously, because the growth of vermillion fruit requires special soil, in order to meet the requirements, Mandrill deliberately hunts a large number of creatures, uses their blood for "irrigation", and even creates this "blood soil" by bleeding themselves.
This also caused the original "degraded vermilion fruit" to mutate, becoming the current Chi fruit!
"This mandrill obviously has a certain degree of wisdom, but fortunately it is not too high."
Ji Ye's heart was slightly awe-inspiring.
The previous Black Snake pretended to be dead was also very cunning. The high-level monsters in the land of inheritance absolutely exceeded the ordinary beasts' IQ.
"These two should be familiar, Chief Lu, we each have one."
Ji Ye stretched out his hand to pluck the two most obvious red fruits like blood beads from the blood tree, and share them with Lu Zhi.
Some of the corpses accumulated in the cave have even decayed. If it were not for the aroma of the red fruit that caused the peculiar smell in the cave to be suppressed, it is estimated that some strangers would not enter here.
Moreover, from the point of view of the explanation, Chiguo's nutrients are largely derived from the blood of these dead beasts.
However, Ji Ye would naturally not give up such a useful fruit because of its nausea.
After all, it was the same sentence. When he was surviving in the wild, the rotten meat was still roasted and stuffed, not to mention the blood and nutrients of these animals had passed through this strain. The transformation of "mutated Zhu Guo" is very clean.
