Chapter 555 Cloud Giant Orchard

Joan, Clark, Shrek and Cassio walked along the bushes into a forest overgrown with vines.

What you can see before your eyes is green vines as thick as an adult's thigh, climbing and growing along the tall and straight wooden stakes, intertwining each other at a height of a hundred feet, forming a large green dome that blocks the moonlight.

Under the fan-like leaves of the sky-covering vine, there are clusters of purple fruits hanging from the top of the dome. Under the hazy moonlight, they glow as beautiful as amethyst. Each fruit is as big as an apple. , Some fruits have a white powder on the surface, which looks like a layer of icing sugar.

Joan looked up at the bunch of purple fruits above his head, and after observing for a while, he was convinced that it was actually a bunch of ripe grapes, but the size was much larger than the grapes in the surface world; and the place he was in at the moment was not a "forest" , but the grape shed set up in the manor.

After passing through the tall and dense grape trellises like a jungle, Joan and the others entered a real forest.

Thousands of apple trees are planted here, and each apple hanging on the branches is as big as a pumpkin, and the red ones are swaying in the wind, like lanterns hanging in festivals.

There is a road across from the fruit forest, and there are real pumpkins growing in the vegetable field on the opposite side. The yellow pumpkins are so big that they are scary. Any pumpkin is enough to fill a carriage, and the weight may not be less than a thousand pounds.

These huge melons and fruits may be ordinary in the eyes of the same huge "cloud giant", but in the eyes of humans from the surface world, each melon and fruit can only be described as a miracle.

Joan even suspects that those black magic beans that are extremely heavy and can grow vines to the sky are probably also magic crops that originated in this giant manor. And the three companions provided such an eye-opening "Road to Heaven".

Just when Joan was amazed by the dreamlike scenery in front of him, a ripe red apple suddenly fell from the branch not far ahead, and hit Shrek impartially on the head.

The Ogre King let out an "Ouch", clutching the swollen bump on his forehead, and looked down at the big apple that rolled down under his feet, his small eyes shone with strange brilliance.

After pondering for a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head and asked Joan, "Little mage, have you ever considered such a question, why do ripe apples always fall from the branches to the ground instead of flying into the sky?"

Joan was taken aback, and stared at Shrek in astonishment. He didn't expect this simple-minded ogre to ask such a seemingly simple but thought-provoking question. It can be seen that after Shrek put on the "wisdom collar", his mind was indeed Become much smarter than before.

Just when Joan was thinking about how to explain concepts such as "gravity" and "inertia" to Shrek in a simple and easy-to-understand language, the ogre king had lost interest in this flash of inspiration, and what filled his mind was food With the strong appetite that is the hallmark of the human-devil clan, he bent down to pick up the red apple that was as big as a pumpkin on the ground, took a big bite, and smacked his lips in satisfaction.

"Sweet apples! So delicious!"

Shrek was full of praise, swallowed the apple in two or three bites, licked his fingers unsatisfied, looked up at the fruit-laden branches, with a look of covetousness in his eyes.

At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew over the fruit forest, and the clouds gathered above Shrek's head in a very strange way. Deep in the leaden clouds, electric snakes ran and thunder rolled.

Qiao An noticed the abnormal disturbance in the distribution of the magic net in the area where the dark clouds gathered, and immediately realized that the situation was not good, and quickly reminded Shrek to be careful.

It's a pity that his warning came too late, a thick electric light blasted down from the sky, hit the king ogre, knocked down the strong man on the spot, his hair stood on end, and he almost passed out from the electric shock.

Hearing the thunder, Casio quickly turned around and ran back to help Shrek who had just been struck by lightning, and asked with concern: "My lord? Are you okay?"

"Fatty, what's the matter?" Clark also turned around and questioned the disheartened Shrek, "What bad thing did you just do to attract lightning?"

"Shrek didn't do anything bad, he just ate an apple." The Ogre King rubbed his bald head that was blackened by the electric shock, his face full of innocence.

"Idiot! Every melon and fruit in this manor is protected by a magic barrier. If you steal someone else's fruit and eat it, of course you will suffer the backlash of the barrier!" Clark said angrily.

"Shrek didn't steal the fruit, the apple fell on Shrek's head first..." the Ogre King argued aggrievedly.

"Judging from the results, no matter whether you actively or passively touch the melons and fruits, the defense mechanism of the manor will be triggered. Now there is no time to argue about these details. If we don't want to be turned into coke by lightning, we'd better find a safe place to hide."

The poet looked at the dark clouds flickering in the sky, and his face was extremely serious.

Qiao An stared at the dark clouds, focused on identifying the distribution of the magic net in the area where the clouds were located, and then analyzed the spell configuration that caused the thunder, and then expressed his guess.

"Judging from the changes in the structure of the magic net in the air, the lightning released by the dark cloud is very similar to the druid's third-level natural magic spell 'Summoning Thunder'. If we try to hide in a relatively closed space, such as inside a building, Potentially blocking the path of the lightning strike."

Inside the building?

Clark, Shrek, and Casio were woken up by Joan's words, and turned their heads to look at the castle at the end of the avenue, and then looked up at the thundercloud that might rain down lightning at any time... Don't say anything, just run away let's go!

Under the threat of falling thunder, the four of them didn't care to hide their whereabouts any more, and rushed towards the gate of the castle against the clock.

However, before they ran far, everyone heard the loud ringing of bells from above the castle, and the six watchtowers guarding the castle opened their skylights and gates at the same time—mythical griffins and mythical owl bears rushed out one after another, facing the four of them. Start chasing and intercepting.

There was thunder and lightning constantly bombarding overhead, and there were mythical monsters rounding up before and after. Qiao An and the others had no time to complain. In order to save their own lives, they could only bite the bullet and rush forward desperately.

Just as they were about to rush to the gate of the castle, a large group of golden griffins swooped down from the air around the tower, completely blocking the way between Joan and the gate.

"I'm here to drive away these hateful big birds!"

At the critical juncture, the poet Casio seldom showed bravery, soaring into the air, rushing towards groups of mythical griffins.

The three of Joan could see that he was deliberately attracting the attention of the mythical griffin, so as to buy time for his companions to escape.

However, there is only Casio left, facing a large group of ferocious mythical griffins, what is the difference between this and suicide?
