Chapter 109: Princess Rescue Plan (3)(1/4)
Each of them was given a piece of fruit, and Hildun ate it in two gulps. Taelia was a little hesitant, but brought it to her lips. The sweetness and substance of the fruit made her body regain strength, but the sugar-corroded lips were a little sore.
.
Aze held his own fruit but did not eat it. Adnan looked at the man standing next to him. The distance between them was not far, but it seemed that there was a gap.
The danger in the Ruby Forest does not only come from monsters, it is constantly causing physical and mental blows, and the degree of terror far exceeds Adnan's expectations.
Do they really want to keep going? If they keep going, they may really die here, but if they want to turn back, can they really go back the way they came?
The sound of the fruit being broken was heard. Zongque raised his hand to take the half of the fruit that was thrown over and looked at the increasingly desolate man.
"When Aze recovers, there will be food, and we will all survive." Adnan bit off his own half and said.
They are a team, and if they want to continue going forward, they cannot leave anyone behind.
The others bit the fruit slowly for a moment, and then took big bites to fill their stomachs, without leaving any core.
Zongque lowered his eyes and looked at the half fruit, then brought it to his lips and bit it.
After the excitement, there was endless exhaustion. Several people sat on the ground. Aze's strength would be slightly restored and he would expel the devilish energy on the fruit. However, fruit does not fill the stomach. Even if he eats a lot, there will be
Still chattering.
"Even if the food here drives away the evil spirit, don't eat too much." Zongque ate a fruit and leaned against a tree nearby with his eyes closed to meditate.
The sky is always visible, and there is no obvious day or night. People's fatigue and mental stress will increase infinitely.
"Then let's take these on the road and eat them." Aze adjusted his strength, put the three expulsed fruits into his bag, and also leaned against the tree and breathed a sigh of relief.
The surrounding area gradually became quiet, and one could hear the rustling of leaves in the jungle, as well as the occasional abdominal rumble. Gradually, even this abdominal rumble disappeared, and snoring came from the side. This sound continued continuously.
, and then accompanied by a little bit of chattering.
Zongque opened his eyes, and several other people couldn't bear the mental exhaustion and fell asleep. Even if there were people taking turns guarding before, they have reached their limit now. But next to them, the man who was sleeping with a mace in his hand was carefully
He climbed up and touched the luggage that Aze was holding in his arms.
Three fruits rolled out. Hildun's movements and breathing stopped. Then he picked them up and carefully hid them behind the tree. The sound of chewing could be heard.
After a moment, his figure reappeared, but even though his mouth was stained with juice, he still looked around, then squatted beside the pile of fruits that had not yet expelled the evil spirit, swallowed his breath and stretched out his hand.
"You cannot eat fruits that are stained with demonic energy." Zongque said.
Hildun's hand paused, and suddenly he looked at him with a hint of red in his eyes: "I'm so hungry, I'm hungry..."
"Bear it," Zongque said.
"No, it really doesn't work, just eat one!" Hildun grabbed the fruit, and with a sound of a sharp blade coming out of its sheath, Zongque put his sword in his hand and said, "If you eat it again, you will die."
"Don't stop me." Hildun looked at him, but Zongque's sword was placed on his neck.
His strong body was trembling slightly, and his breathing was extremely heavy. He held the mace in his hand. Zong Que suddenly stepped back, and the mace hit the ground directly in front of him.
The tremors on the ground caused those who had been sleeping to wake up one after another and grab their weapons. What they saw was a fight between two people.
The mace kept swinging at Zongque. Even if he dodged it one by one, Hildun pursued him as if he was determined to kill him.
"What's going on?!" Adnan asked, raising his heavy sword and blocking Hildun's mace.
"I want to eat, I want to eat..." Hilton looked at him.
"Calm down, Aze!" Adnan looked at Aze.
Aze turned over the package, but it was empty: "The fruit is gone."
"How much strength has been restored now?" Adnan asked.
"I can expel two more." Azze picked up two fruits, exorcised the demonic energy on them, handed them to Hildun and said, "You can eat them."
The fruit in his hand was almost snatched away, Hildun's mace fell to the ground, and several people frowned at him as he devoured it.
"What happened?" Taelia asked.
"Don't touch the fruit stained with demonic energy. This is the last reminder." Zongque put away his sword, walked across the stream to the other side, picked a tree and sat on it.
After Hildun finished eating the fruit, he seemed to have calmed down. Adnan pressed his shoulder and said, "If you bear with me, there should be prey in this forest. If you can find it, you can fill your stomach."
"I understand." Hildun sat there.
"Sorry." Adnan said in the direction of Zongque.
Zongque leaned there and didn't answer his words, as if he was asleep.
Several people were a little embarrassed, and their minds were slightly tense because of this farce.
It's just that the mental fatigue is hard to stop. When the surroundings fell into silence again and the rustling sounds came again, Zongque looked at the man who picked up the fruit and ate it wildly. He had been a little restrained from eating before.
Now he is filling his mouth almost one mouthful at a time, and even his already strong body seems to be swelling.
As one fruit after another entered his mouth, the last trace of clarity disappeared from his eyes. After eating the ones on the ground, he picked the ones on the tree. When one tree was empty, he picked the ones on the other tree. His stomach
It grew bigger and bigger, but did not stop. It even took the leaves to its mouth, and then followed the path of the tree towards the depths of the jungle, where the sound of chewing and roaring could be heard.
The second test is gluttony.
It doesn't even need to set up a fantasy world, it only needs to provide food, and it can make many people stop at this step.
Heart-testing cannot be stopped by external forces alone.
When everyone woke up again, there was no trace of Hilton. He didn't even bring his mace, and just disappeared quietly.
"Hildon!!!"
"Hildon, where are you? Speak!"
Several people searched around, and Ednan walked to Zongque's tree and asked: "Do you know where Hildun went?"
"After eating the fruit stained with demonic energy, it disappeared in that direction." Zongque opened his eyes and pointed.
"Didn't you stop it?" Adnan's breathing was heavy.
"Yes." Zongque said.
"Why didn't you stop it? You could wake us up. Aren't we teammates?" Adnan looked at him with anger in his tone.
Zongque looked at him. His eyes were as calm as ever. There was no disturbance caused by his attitude, but his anxious and embarrassed look was clearly reflected.
Adnan's body trembled slightly, he turned away and said, "Yes, I'm sorry..."
He grabbed his hair and pulled it as if it was tangled: "He is a very important brother to me! Nothing can happen to him."
"Adnan, let's go find him." Aze held his shoulders and said.
"Okay." Adnan held his hand as if grasping a life-saving straw, "We have to find him!"
"Dean, are you still willing to come with us?" Aze raised his eyes and asked.
"Let's separate here. If you can't find it, go back." Zongque held on to the tree and jumped down.
He originally thought that if he showed them the danger at the edge of the Ruby Forest, they would be deterred, but they insisted on stepping in. At this point, there was nothing he could do.
Adnan clenched his fists, looked at his back after walking a few steps and said, "You were familiar with the situation here from the beginning, right?"
He's as skilled as if he's been here before.
"So I asked you to go back from the beginning." Zongque did not look back, but walked forward holding on to the hilt of his sword.
They do have some abilities and are relatively perseverant, but if they want to pass many tests, they cannot just rely on so-called brute force and luck.
It was because he overestimated their character.
The tall figure slowly disappeared, and Adnan clenched his fist and punched the ground.
Aze and the others were silent. Taelia clenched her weapon, but she felt a little unsure. In the past, Ednan was their decision-maker, but here, he would also make many omissions, and Dean
He is the one who always remains calm, even though he seems calm and a bit cold-blooded, he is right.
"What's next?" Taelia asked.
"Prepare food. Let's go find Hildun. We must find him no matter what." Adnan stood up, holding on to the ground and squeezing his neck.
Although their team occasionally has differences, they have experienced life and death together countless times, and this time will be no exception.
"Okay." Taelia said.
She didn't give up on Hildun, but they couldn't stop her when someone was in front of her. Being so aimless now was no different from committing suicide.
The group of people packed up and set off. The sword light flashed through the jungle, and the demon waving its claws fell directly to the ground, with some burn marks on the wound.
There was a lot of noise in the jungle, and occasionally red light flashed, but it seemed to be suppressed by something and never came out. Zongque put away his sword and stepped on a white bone and something hard while walking forward.
When he moved away, several gold coins in shabby cloth bags were exposed on the ground.
Zongque lowered his eyes and took a look, then moved forward again. When he got here, he had stepped into the second level, and the second level was obviously stretched. It was repeatedly wearing down people's patience and energy, and repeatedly making people tortured by hunger.
, and then become ecstatic about any food they see.
If you eat fruit that has been expel the evil spirit, it is just fruit, but if you have not exorcised it, you may see something else, until it turns you into a monster.
Zongque's pace did not stop, and the previously unseen corpses reappeared. They were all warriors who died in these multiple tests. The deeper they entered, the stronger their abilities and the richer they would be.
Gold coins, gem scabbards, and bead chains make this mysterious jungle like a holy land of hidden treasures. They appear as a matter of course, and explorers often do not refuse such wealth.
The slender fingers in front of Shui Jing gently held his cheek, and his middle finger danced lightly on his cheek. Looking at the man who regarded countless gold coins as nothing, the water in his eyes was full of interest.
