"It's different, what's different?" Bai Cangdong quickly checked his body, but found nothing strange.
"Look at the palm of your left hand. Is there a black skull mark there?" the treekeeper said expressionlessly.
Bai Candong quickly looked at the palm of his left hand. There was indeed a skull mark there, but it was a skull pattern made of a crystal skull, not a black skull mark.
The treekeeper didn't know that there was no mark on Bai Cangdong's hand that he was afraid of saying, so he continued to talk to himself: "Little boy, you don't have much time. You only need to enter the Ancient Yuan Cave and absorb the Ancient Yuan Tree."
There is a breath, a skull mark appears on the palm of your hand, you only have one hour left to live, hurry up the Ancient Yuan tree and pick an Ancient Yuan fruit, then you can survive."
Bai Candong looked at the treekeeper and Gu Yuanshu with a complicated expression, thinking about what was going on.
The treekeeper said so confidently, which means that everyone who comes in will definitely be infected with the black skull mark, and it is unlikely that there will be exceptions.
However, there was no such mark in Bai Candong's palm. Bai Candong didn't know whether it was because of his special body or because there was already a crystal skull mark.
Bai Cangdong did not dare to expose the problem at hand. He now had no ability to protect himself. Even if there was no death threat as mentioned by the tree keeper, he still had no choice but to pick the Ancient Yuan Fruit, otherwise those demi-humans would not let him out alive.
.
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Candong climbed up the Ancient Yuan Tree along the huge crystal branch next to it. He had no other choice but to pick an Ancient Yuan Fruit.
The death aura of the Ancient Yuan Tree was of no use to him, which made Bai Cangdong feel at ease. Since the aura was useless to him, there was a high chance that he would survive if he went to pick the Ancient Yuan Tree.
Although I am not 100% sure, I can only take the risk at this time.
As long as he can pick an Ancient Yuan Fruit and firmly hold the Ancient Yuan Fruit in his own hands, he will have the capital to negotiate with these demi-humans. Whether he can escape or not depends on this fight.
The crystal branches are extremely thick. Just a small branch is as thick as a bucket. Bai Cangdong's small body can stand on it without any problem.
After looking at the Ancient Yuan Fruit growing everywhere, Bai Cangdong chose a relatively safe position and reached out to grab an Ancient Yuan Fruit that was very close to him.
Bai Candong's palm stretched out very slowly, and the Ancient Yuan Fruit was only less than thirty centimeters away from him. However, Bai Candong's hand seemed to have traveled through a century and had not yet touched the Ancient Yuan Fruit.
He had been observing carefully to see if he could find any danger, but nothing was out of the ordinary. Except for the strange shape, the Ancient Yuan Fruit seemed to be no different from ordinary fruits, just hanging quietly on the branch.
Looking at Gu Yuan Guo up close, I felt that Gu Yuan Guo was very similar to his previous crystal skull, but Bai Cangdong also saw some differences.
There is something similar to a fruit core inside these ancient Yuan fruits. The core is a bit like a walnut and is also crystal-like in color. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell the difference between the two.
Bai Candong was very convinced that the crystal skulls he collected did not have such a core, and the insides were not solid, but just like real skulls, they were empty inside.
"They don't seem to be the same thing." For some reason, Bai Cangdong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it has now been determined that the Ancient Yuan Fruit and the skulls he collected are not the same thing, he still has to pick the Ancient Yuan Fruit.
Seeing that it had been delayed for too long, and the tree guard kept urging him beside him, Bai Cangdong could only take a deep breath, and grabbed the ancient Yuan Guo that was close at hand with his small hands.
All the strange things that Bai Candong imagined did not happen at all. Bai Candong grabbed the Gu Yuan Guo with both hands, just like grabbing a ripe big orange. With just a slight pull, the Gu Yuan Guo was
He took it off.
"Have you picked it now?" Bai Cangdong looked at the Ancient Yuan Fruit in his hand with some confusion. Even he couldn't believe it, it turned out so smoothly.
Holding it in his hand, he was even more sure that the Ancient Yuan Fruit was different from the skulls he collected. The Ancient Yuan Fruit indeed had the same jade-like texture and was solid, but the weight was much lighter than the skulls he collected.
It's not even half as heavy as the Crystal Skull.
When Bai Candong was stunned, the Ancient Yuan Fruit in his hand suddenly made a clicking sound, which startled Bai Candong.
The skull-like Gu Yuan fruit actually split in the middle, and the walnut-like core suddenly jumped out from the inside.
Bai Candong quickly reached out and grabbed the walnut-like core to prevent it from falling.
In the short time that Bai Cangdong caught the core, the skull-like Ancient Yuan Fruit had melted like snow, and then turned into steam and disappeared.
"One fruit for life, one fruit for life. Oh my God, someone finally picked the Ancient Yuan Fruit in this life. Our demi-human clan has hope..." The treekeeper was heartbroken when he saw Bai Candong get the core.
He roared heart-breakingly, with endless desolation and longing in his voice.
Bai Candong jumped back into the cave passage with the fruit core and followed the way out. This place was so weird that he didn't want to stay for even a second longer.
Bai Cangdong held the core tightly in his hand, thinking about how to use the core to escape as he walked.
The tree guardians attach great importance to the fruit core. This thing must have extraordinary significance to these demi-humans. If they use it as a bargaining chip, it is very likely to escape alive.
The only thing that troubles Bai Candong now is that he doesn't have much power, not even the ability to destroy the core. If the demi-humans take it by force, he won't have the strength to resist.
"It's all your fault that I've fallen to this point." Bai Cangdong touched the thousand-year-old dream entangled on his finger.
When he was about to reach the exit, Bai Cangdong hesitated for a moment, then firmly grasped the core of the fruit, and then strode out of the cave.
Jiu Du was still waiting outside when he saw Bai Candong coming out of Guyuan Cave. Jiu Du and the two defenders seemed to have seen a ghost. They stared at Bai Candong with wide eyes and opened their mouths for a long time.
Close.
It took a long time for Jiu Du to react. When he saw the fruit core in Bai Cangdong's hand, he had a complicated expression on his face.
Bai Cangdong couldn't understand what kind of expression was on Jiudu's face, but it was completely different from the treekeeper's excitement, which made Bai Cangdong feel a little weird.
"Why did Jiudou show such a strange expression when he saw the core of the Ancient Yuan Fruit? They sacrificed something that so many people couldn't get, and now they finally took it out. Shouldn't they feel the same as the tree keepers?
Is it right to be excited?" Bai Cangdong was secretly surprised.
