Chapter 256 Chapter 163, picking fruits and new deals 1
In the dense forest, a unique team was moving forward.
In front of them were four giant gray wolves, and behind them were more than ten humans in different clothes.
Considering that there were ordinary humans like Xu Lin, Su Ming deliberately slowed down his pace.
He only maintained his speed in an extremely slow state so that Xu Lin, who was following behind him, would not consume his physical strength too quickly.
“Step, step, step.”
The temperature of the forest at noon was relatively high. The scorching sun shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves, shining on the entire forest.
“Phew”
Touching the sweat on his forehead, Xu Lin let out a gentle breath. Even though Su Ming had specially taken care of him, the consumption of his body was still faster than he had imagined.
Looking at the dense forest above his head and the fresh air around him, Xu Lin’s mood became much better.
It had been a long time since he had walked in such a complicated terrain. This could be considered a training once every few weeks in the original army.
Ever since he had been promoted to the upper echelon, the long period of sitting and the increase in age had destroyed his originally strong physical strength.
“Person in charge, be careful of Teng Man in front.”
Chen Tian’s reminder came from the side. At least for now, this kid was still fulfilling his duty.
However, he had underestimated Xu Lin too much. How could he trip over the vine man.
Stepping over the vine man, Xu Lin said indifferently.
“Don’t worry, I’m not that old. No matter what, I used to be a scout.”
Following everyone’s footsteps, Xu Lin walked forward. According to the Wolf King, they would reach the giant tree area in half an hour.
Thinking of the mutated fruit in his mind, Xu Lin could not help but be filled with endless motivation.
He quickened his pace and moved forward even faster. He tried his best to keep up with the wolf pack in order to see the mutated fruit this morning.
...
“Rustle...”
The Giant Wolf Claw pushed aside the branches and leaves in front of him, revealing its pure white appearance. It was the first to walk out of the forest.
After Su Ming, dozens of figures walked out one after another. There were giant wolves and humans.
What entered the eyes of all living creatures was an empty lawn. There were traces of dried blood on the ground, which was the result of several battles.
At the same time, in front of the lawn, there was an incomparably giant ancient tree. Its main trunk was quite thick, and the branches and leaves above were unusually lush. Through the interior, one could see that it was full of silver fruits.
“Ao!”
Raising his wolf claw, he pointed at the location of the huge tree. He was telling the humans that this was the huge snow ridge spruce that they had been thinking about for a long time.
Of course, Zheng Xinglong, Zhang Daoling, and Liu Quan knew the exact location. Su Ming was more like Xu Lin, who was here for the first time, to introduce them.
“Ha, is this the huge tree?”
After walking out of the forest, Chen Tian suddenly took in a breath of the surrounding air. The narrow environment in the forest just now actually made him feel suffocated. Therefore, when he came to the wide area, he wantonly stretched out his limbs to ease his emotions.
Looking at the giant snow ridge spruce in the distance, Chen Tian said thoughtfully.
“This is indeed completely different from the trees I’ve seen before. Such a giant tree is simply unheard of.”
“This is also the reason why we are looking for the mutated fruit. According to the report from the research base, this huge tree and the fruit above it have a significant improvement effect on mutated creatures.”
Walking to Chen Tian’s side, Zheng Xinglong agreed.
Looking at the silver-white fruit inside, Chen Tian slowly nodded and stepped forward, following the footsteps of the huge wolf.
“Let’s go, brother Zheng. I want to see what kind of effect this fruit has.”
The team was not far from the giant tree. After another five minutes of walking, they stood below the giant tree.
Looking at it up close, the Snow Ridge Spruce, which was already huge, seemed to have become even larger. Even Chen Tian, who was nearly two meters tall, looked abnormally short in front of the giant tree, he could not reach the position of its branches at all.
“That is the mutated fruit, right?”
Pointing at the silver fruits above, Chen Tian asked.
“Ao! !”
Su Ming also let out a wolf howl and gave a positive answer.
In the past few days, the giant tree had been picked twice by wolf packs and birds of prey. The number of fruits was indeed a little less than before, but there were still a lot of remnants, which was enough for the needs of humans, and the subsequent consumption of the wolves.
“Then let’s start the harvesting work. Rest assured, Wolf King. We will only take the proper amount according to the rules.”
Xu Lin looked at Su Ming and said.
Su Ming also nodded in response.
With his consent, the humans started to move. Some researchers took out their backpacks and the drones prepared inside, ready to harvest.
However, before they could take action, the shadows on the ground suddenly surged.
Chen Tian held the iron rod tightly and stood guard beside Xu Lin. The other researchers also stopped what they were doing and looked around nervously.
“Roar!”
“It’s okay, everyone.”
Su Ming and Zheng Xinglong’s voices sounded at the same time.
Both of them were telling the newcomers that there was no danger.
“What do you mean, Captain Zheng?”
Xu Lin asked.
