Chapter 266 Sea Coconut Tree

After walking for a while, just when I thought I was about to faint due to hunger and thirst, a cool wind rushed towards me.

I was rushing down and thought it was an hallucination that I had been walking for a long time.

It was not until I slowly lifted the outer robe that wrapped around my head and raised my head that I saw a blue ocean ahead, occupying the entire field of view in a vast and boundless manner.

The blue ocean surface forms a sharp contrast with the dry land. What is exciting is that in the range moistened by the ocean currents, the land finally showed a trace of vitality. Many lush plants replaced the low plants and trees and gathered into a magnificent seaside oasis!

I wiped my eyes, made sure that this was not an illusion created by my brain, and accelerated my pace and rushed to this world full of vitality!

The panic, loss, anger, and despair that was originally in my heart had become a continuous and monotonous state of depression under the torture of the boring environment. It seemed that nothing could arouse interest in anything, and it seemed that even the approaching death could not move me.

However, when I saw this oasis, I seemed to clearly feel that a joy of life from the heart quietly replaced the pale and powerless feeling of loss.

The joy that can be contagious between creatures slowly restored me to peace.

In this state, I felt the sudden burst of thirst in my body! The desire for water almost overwhelmed my thoughts!

It happened to be not far away, beside two tall plants, there was a shallow pool, located at a certain distance from the sea, and it looked clear and attractive!

I walked to the edge of the pool and hurriedly scooped up a handful of water to drink it. My tongue felt salty and astringent in an instant. Finally, the bitter taste rose, as if I swallowed a piece of unpurified coarse salt, which made my taste nerves very painful.

"It's sea water..."

I spit out the remaining salty water in my mouth and looked at the surface water in despair. This sea water that has been filtered by the beach and is still salty and hard to drink seems to have no value for direct drinking, so I can only make other plans.

I looked up and saw the tall tree next to me...

The tree is a tree-shaped and tall, with the stems with the base of the petiole, the upper leaves rise in obliquely, and the lower leaves sag down, forming a sparse head-shaped crown. The leaves are more than 6 meters long, the petiole is long and slender, and mostly flat; the feathers are linearly lanceolate, about 30 cm long, with a short and sharp tip at the top, gray-green, with obvious keel protrusions, 2 or 3 pieces gathered, and the feathers at the bottom become long and hard needle-like.

What’s more obvious is that under the canopy is a large string of red fruits hanging on the branches!

The question is...can this thing be eaten?

No one will die if you eat it, right?

I approached the tree and suddenly discovered that the item attributes of the colonizer system jumped out!

“Item name: date palm tree.

Description: A date palm tree, the greatest dedication to mankind is its fruit - date palm. At the same time, the trunk can be used as beams, floors, and branches can be woven into various tools.

The long description did not help me, nor did it attract my attention. All my energy was focused on the two words in the introduction...

Date palm!

This thing is edible!

I have food to eat!

...Wait a minute, this tree seems to be a little taller than its head?

I took two steps back and felt the height of the tree. First of all, I confirmed that it was not because of my dizziness and hallucinations.

Against the backdrop of the sea and sky, this tree looks at least twenty meters, as high as five floors! And the branches full of date fruits are also at the height of four floors. How can I get it?

"Well... with colonizer system attributes, does it mean that I can make a cheat..."

According to my experience, things that appear in the system attributes of colonists are items recognized by the system. Things recognized by the system can be operated with system commands...

That's right, it's an operation! I didn't have a cheat!

I pondered for a moment and gave work orders to the tree.

At this time, two commands appear in the direction of the date palm tree.

"Available Work Commands: Cut/Harvest."

That’s it? Of course it’s a harvest! What I want to eat is dates! I don’t want to chew on the bark!

"Select a job order: Prioritize harvesting of date palm trees!"

As soon as the order was issued, the colonist system quickly controlled my body and quickly retreated five or six steps.

Then, my legs suddenly exerted force and started a short sprint with an astonishing speed, leaving two deep footprints on the ground, raising the smoke and dust in the sky.

In the smoke and dust, I stepped on the almost vertical trunk at an extremely fast speed. In a blink of an eye, I used the skill of kicking Ping and crossing the water and flew to a height of five or six meters!

Then the rising inertia was not exhausted. I hugged the trunk of the date palm tree with both hands, continued to force my legs, and then jumped up to a height of four or five meters.

Although this height is already amazing, the ten-meter high is still seven or eight meters away from the date palms under the tree canopy!

At this time, the rising momentum is old, the old force has done its best to grow, and it seems that it will fall until it reaches this point!

If you fall down at this ten meters high, the consequences will be unimaginable! If you fall down at a three-story high position, you will be paraplegic at a high position!

But the colonizer system obviously had an accident. The arm armor in my right hand popped out of the blade and pierced deeply into the trunk of the date palm tree. With a little force on my arm, I continued to climb along the trunk of the sea coconut tree!

What’s amazing is that this kind of tree climbing does not use straight up and down, but instead staggers the force, rotates upwards around the trunk, and climbs quickly with hands and feet, and quickly climbs up for five or six meters, which is extremely close to the height of the date palm!

It was not until this time that I knew the purpose of this special climbing technique of the colonists system.

As fruits, dates are hung in strings at the ends of branches and leaves, hanging low around the canopy. If I climb up in a normal way, then my arms must be two meters long to pick the fruit while grasping the trunk.

The systematic method is that when I climbed to a sufficient height, I hooked the trunk with my feet and gently poked out my arms. The silver-white sickle blade emitted a cool air, scattering freely across the branches and leaves of the sea coconut tree, accurately cutting off the connection between the branches and leaves where the fruit is located!

As the saying goes, if the skin does not exist, where will the hairs be attached? With the crackling sound of branches and leaves breaking, several lush branches and leaves of the date palm tree fell downwards under the action of gravity, hitting the soft sand.

The ground was like a rain of date palms, and a large juicy red date palm fell all over the ground, like a celebration of a bumper harvest.

Then, I also used my limbs together, my body firmly clamped against the tree trunk, and cleverly climbed down the sea coconut tree, and soon I stepped on the ground with my feet again.

I was not in the mood to tell which date is the most beautiful, which one has heatstroke, the one doesn't eat, which one loves fighting, pick up one of them and don't care about cleaning, and stuffed it into my mouth and chewed it...
