Chapter Twenty-Nine

"So this is ah."

In a safe place, Liu Zhi has already looked through the contents of Perkin's bag. At this time, he has pieced together the purpose of Perkin's trip through various clues.

Unlike Liu Zhi who used all kinds of parchment to record maps and materials, Perkin has money and status. In his bag, in addition to high-calorie food and a few luminous items that are useless, there is also a book in this book. Very rare notebook.

That notebook is made of normal paper, and Liu Zhi is more used to it, but in this day and age, there are really not many such things, and the texture is not as good as this notebook.

A lot of information is written on the notebook, and there are some patterns.

As can be seen from the above, Perkin is dying.

He must have suffered from some pretty serious disease, and his life is less than three weeks away, and his only hope now is a plant in this jungle.

That kind of plant has never been brought out. The local aborigines call it 'Namuda', which means a tree with blood. figure it out.

The only information I know is that this tree grows on the edge of a cliff waterfall, and it needs a lot of water vapor and air to grow.

Every seven years, when the full moon of July and fifteenth is full, the tree will bloom a red flower within three days, and all the leaves will fall at the same time, turning into a red tree.

Under the moonlight, the tree looks like a bloody tree, which is why the locals call it the 'bloody tree'.

What really attracted Perkin was not the flowers of the tree, but the peach-like fruit that the tree would grow after flowering.

The fruit is not big, only the size of a thumb, but it has the effect of inhibiting diseases and prolonging life.

Perkin only needs to get a few fruits, and his disease can be relieved. If he gets all the fruits this time, he may even live forever.

Looking at the ambition recorded in the notebook, Liu Zhi shook his head involuntarily.

It seems that this is the goal of Perkin's trip. On the one hand, it is to save his life, and on the other hand, it is also for his future power. If this kind of thing is brought to human society, it can definitely become a stepping stone to open up the upper class.

Those who are rich and powerful will invest all their resources desperately for the continuation of life.

But what does it matter to me.

Flipping through the content at the back of the notebook, Liu Zhi put the notebook away. Immortality is meaningless to him, especially the power in this world.

He will only stay in this world for a maximum of one hundred and eighty days, even if he can develop great power, what is the use.

On the contrary, the Golden City is more attractive to him. At least the existence of the Golden City is related to his identity and compulsory mission.

So this kind of notebook, which is considered a treasure for some adventurers in this world, was placed at the bottom of the backpack by Liu Zhi.

It was the other items in Perkin's backpack that attracted Liu Zhi's attention.

The props that Perkin took out of the backpack twice before proved that those glowing things are not ordinary items.

So Liu Zhi was even more curious about what the remaining few things were.

Now there are a total of four items in the bag, Liu Zhi did not underestimate them because of their inconspicuous appearance, but put them away carefully and carefully.

These four items are the skin of an unknown beast, and the fur on the other side looks quite fresh.

A quill-like thing, the color of the feather is normal white, the notes are decorated with copper, it looks like it can be used for a long time, if it is not for the white light emitting from the thing,

Liu Zhi would even think that this is for use with that notebook.

A tube that looks like a lipstick, Liu Zhi is a little suspicious at this time, whether they have researched lipstick in this era.

Finally, there was a kettle-like thing, which was made of pure silver, with some patterns of ancient mythology engraved on it, shaking gently, and there were some sounds in it.

Without knowing what was inside, Liu Zhi had no intention of taking a look.

After putting everything away, Liu Zhi simply took apart Perkin's backpack.

He found two things that looked like land deeds from the cracks in his backpack. After a closer look, he found that they were the deeds of a nearby port. He didn't know whether this was Perkin's last preparation or his secret base.

After confirming that there were no other items missing, Liu Zhi put his backpack back on his back, took out the map to check the direction, and headed towards the Golden City.

Meanwhile, Perkin and Lloyd were walking cautiously through the jungle.

Perkin's face was a little blue at this time, and his lips were a little purple, but he still walked hard, not letting himself stop.

Lloyd, who supported Perkin, said, "Uncle, let's go back."

"No, we've all come here. I'm not reconciled if we don't move forward. Besides, are you willing? This is the hope of our family's resurgence."

"But so many of us went into the jungle, and now there are only two of us left, I'm worried..."

"There is nothing to worry about. All the information is in my head. As long as we can still walk, we will definitely be able to get to the bloody tree."

"No, Uncle, that's not what I'm worried about. You've seen it along the way. There are so many giant snakes. I'm worried that there is something wrong with it."

Perkin laughed as soon as he heard it, "Do you think I didn't see it? You have been exploring with me for so many years, and you have no observation skills at all. Didn't you realize that those giant snakes are all ordinary snakes? What does this mean? , This shows that the legend of the bloody tree is true. Those snakes have survived since ancient times after eating the fruit of the bloody tree. Snakes are different from humans. Snakes shed their skin once a year and become bigger , This is telling us that the legend is true and immortality is just around the corner.”

Hearing what Perkin said, Lloyd believed several of them, "But uncle, just the two of us, can we steal back the fruit of the bloody tree?"

"It's not the two of us. My bag was taken away. The person who took the bag will definitely find the message I left. As long as it is a person, it cannot escape the temptation of immortality. When we get there, find someone Wait for the thief who took my bag to find him, let him take the lead, and wait for him to get the fruit, and then you will act, Lloyd, how is your swordsmanship practice during this time?"

"Don't worry, Uncle, I've mastered everything..."
