Chapter 74: Jumping Fruit Trees

Drinking the liquid in the gourd is cool and comfortable, it seems to dispel the fatigue of running a lot. The mind is much more awake, and the comfort of the whole body makes the bones tremble.

"How is it? Is it okay?" Aso came over and threw Shao Xuan a fruit, "This is not bad either."

Shao Xuan didn't know which plants can be eaten and what they couldn't eat, so he never took action. When he left the water intake point just now, he noticed that Aso and the others were going around, and it seemed that they were going to pick fruits.

"These are all good things!" Aso said, "It's not that we are talking big. After eating these, we've improved faster. There is a saying in the advance team."

Lowering his voice, Aso continued: "Only those who have joined the advance team can become high-level totem warriors. Every high-level warrior in the tribe has been in the advance team."

Most of the plants here are more than a hundred years old. Some fruits and plant juices also have a certain degree of marrow cleaning and bone removal effect on the human body. Even if the soldiers cannot tell the specific feelings, they can detect the benefits brought by the things they eat.

"Can't you bring some back to the tribe?" Shao Xuan asked.

"It's not that easy!" Aso had a bitter face, "I still want to bring some back to my younger brother and sister, but I can't take it."

The advance teams led by previous major leaders have not tried it, but they can't use ice cream or dig out even the roots and soil, etc. As long as you leave here, after a day or two, the things you bring out will rot and deteriorate. Dry it? Not everything can be done with this method.

"So far, very few can be taken out. There are them in the missions sent by the witch, but some of them are not easy to find. They have to look at the times, flowers, fruits, etc. Once you miss them, you have to wait for another year. There are some plants that you may not be able to wait for forever, so you can only find another one."

Shao Xuan was silent.

It seems that some of the things here will bear fruit for hundreds of years or need hundreds of years to be effective. However, more plants will die immediately after leaving this land and cannot survive in other places. Therefore, the method of planting may have been thought of, but it may not be effective. So until now, the tribe can only take the initiative to come to this place that is both dangerous and treasured.

The glory of the advance team is to serve the tribe. The medicines used by tribes to get sick, the medicines used by witches to cure people, etc., are all found here by the advance team, and no one can deny their contributions.

In addition to this glory, joining the advance team can taste many medicinal plants that cannot be taken away, which is also of great benefit to the development and improvement of the warriors themselves.

Therefore, some people who have joined the advance team and later quit due to injury or old age will tell their descendants to work hard to improve and strive to join the advance team. They know that these people will be stronger in the future and are also the group of elites with the most development potential of the entire tribe.

However, the rule set in the tribe now is that the people in the advance team are determined by the big leader. Generally speaking, the witch will not interfere, and only special cases like Shao Xuan will pay attention to it.

Most of the time, the big boss will choose people who are good and familiar with each other, as long as they reach their strength, they can bring in. These people are also strong supporters of the big boss's competition for the position of the leader.

After the selected person comes in and feels the benefits, who wants to give up his seat and withdraw?

No one wants to.

If one more person comes in, others may be kicked out. Even if the hunting team is the one-man ruler of the big boss, the rules set by the ancestors are restricted, and the people in the advance team must not exceed one-fifth of the number of people in the hunting team. It is probably because the big bosses of that generation have learned a lesson that they have joined hands with the leader and the witch to make this rule.

After thinking about this, Shao Xuan knew why some people in the dispatch team looked at him so subtlely. It was not only despised Shao Xuan's strength, but also with defense.

Shao Xuan noticed that most of the people here live on the mountain, and very few are on the mountainside.

People with the strength of Mai and the others are not qualified to join the advance team? Of course, there are, but if the big boss doesn’t speak, Mai can’t join.

Absolute fairness cannot exist. Even Shao Xuan just happened to borrow the light of his ancestors. The results of the team led by Ta were not very good, so he was pulled in. If it were not for the reasons of the ancestors, as a child from the cave, and Shao Xuan and Lao Ke learned the trap lasso, Ta would be even more despised. Unless Shao Xuan was really surprised in the future, he would have been excluded from the advance team.

The better the good, the worse the worse the worse. The development on the mountain and down the mountain probably has exceeded the original idea of ​​the ancestors. When people at the foot of the mountain were thinking about how to get more food, some people on the mountain might be thinking about how to get more benefits.

When there is no threat from other tribes, internal fighting is certain, and exclusion is inevitable, but it is not obvious on the surface.

After drinking a few sips of water taken from that plant, Shao Xuan observed the surroundings. It was relatively high here and you could see plants with strange shapes in the distance.

"What is that?" Shao Xuan pointed to the other side and asked Aso.

Aso glanced over there and smiled maliciously, "That's the head tree. Every tree grows up after eating human heads!"

Shao Xuan didn't say anything, nor was he scared, but just looked over there. No wonder he called Rentou Tree, which really looked like a personal head, and its long "hair" drifted away in the wind. As for eating human heads or something, Shao Xuan didn't believe it.

Seeing that Shao Xuan was not scared, Aso felt bored, but continued: "It's a pity that it has not bloomed yet. When the head tree blooms, flowers of this size grow on it, which is very beautiful!"

Shao Xuan: “…”

According to what Aso said, Shao Xuan imagined it, but still couldn't imagine how beautiful a head covered with various giant flowers would be.

"There is a place where the Tiaotiao fruit tree grows in front. Just stand far away later, don't get close to it." Aso said.

"I know." Shao Xuan still has this self-knowledge.

After a while of rest, the tower signaled the team to set out toward the location where the fruit tree was jumping.

Walking further forward, the trees are sparse and not so dense. You can see the scene ahead without standing at a high place.

The jumping fruit tree mentioned by Aso looks a bit similar to an enlarged weeping willow. The difference is that every drooping branch is covered with round fruits, and each fruit is as big as a fist.

Seeing that everyone was breathing lighter, Shao Xuan also reduced his sense of existence. I think that the tree is very sensitive to sound.

Ta raised his finger and pointed Shao Xuan, then opened his palm and pressed it, indicating that Shao Xuan would stay here later and hide behind the tree trunk.

Shao Xuan nodded and said that he knew. However, he felt that something was not good to happen. He wanted to say it, but the other team members were waiting for Ta's instructions, and Ta ignored him at all.

After looking around, the tower waved his hand, and twenty people rushed over from the bushes like lightning. They tapped their toes on the ground and ran quickly without making any sound, forming a surround of the jumping fruit tree.

However, when she was approaching the jumping fruit tree, Shao Xuan heard the tower suddenly roar: "Retreat!"

The others did not hesitate. Even though someone was about to touch the tree, they retreated quickly because of the sound of the tower. However, some of the fruits that originally grew on the branches on the tree were frightened by the sound of the tower. They quickly escaped from the branches, and rushed towards the surroundings like arrows and ran away.

Shao Xuan didn't know what happened, but saw the tower and his people retreating urgently. The next moment, Shao Xuan was carried.

The group ran very fast, as if they were avoiding something. When Shao Xuan was lifted, he looked back and found that something was floating in the air with the wind.

The wind became more and more fierce, and the distance between Shao Xuan and others was shortened a lot with those things.

Shao Xuan was led to climb onto a tall plant, and five soldiers gathered together to pull the thick leaves on both sides to form a narrow and closed space. When they pulled the leaves, Shao Xuan could still hear the crackling sound like thick wooden boards being folded.

At the last moment when the leaves were pulled over, Shao Xuan caught a glimpse of the things that were blown by the wind. Like dandelions, they had soft and fluffy "white hairs", but the white hairs grew a little, one to two palms each.

It was densely packed, and there were flying everywhere in the sky and the forest, and there was a sound of puffing sound coming from afar.

After all the gaps were closed, the light outside did not penetrate the thick blades, the inside was very dark and the view was not clear.

The closed space also felt nervous. Shao Xuan could hear the rapid breathing of the people next to him. He thought that the journey like running away just now was exhausting a lot of energy.

Not only others, Shao Xuan also felt the danger, his eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but lean his head back a little.
