Chapter 37: Silver Bell-Like Laughter
This small tree is about half a meter tall, with a slender trunk, only as thick as an ordinary person's thumb.
The shape of the trunk is very strange. It does not stretch in all directions like other plants.
Instead, it naturally forms a shape like the mouth of a bowl, as if it is holding up the translucent fruit in the middle.
This is also the only fruit on the entire small tree.
Rather than a fruit, it is more like an ice-blue crystal ball.
Crystal clear, clear, and cold.
The fruit continuously emits visible cold air, floating around.
[What kind of fruit is this? It's so beautiful, I want it so much! ]
[How can such an icy plant grow in a hot desert? It's too unscientific. ]
[This is a natural devil fruit. Judging from its appearance, it is most likely a frozen fruit. After eating it, you will have the ability of a general (serious face)! ]
[Haha, I almost believed it~]
[Knowledge Monster: I just checked, this small tree is called the ‘air conditioning tree’. Sitting under the tree will give you a feeling of turning on the air conditioner, but the ‘air conditioning tree’ does not have the ability to cool down a large area, and it never bears fruit. It’s really strange.]
Air conditioning tree?
This name is very descriptive.
[Start Biological Illustrations]
[Target analysis in progress...Analysis successful!]
[Basic attributes of the target: immune fruit]
[Target characteristics: a rare ice-attribute fruit bred by nature, with the wonderful ability to be immune to all heat damage...]
Immune to all heat damage?
What is this concept!
To give the simplest example, if you put your hand on the fire, it will be burned quickly.
But if you take this ice-attribute immune fruit, you don’t have to worry about being burned even if you jump into a boiling oil pan.
Baby!
This is definitely a rare treasure in a century!
If you can eat it, what does 58.8° mean?
Even if it is 588°, what can it do to me!
This is a godsend opportunity. No matter what, I must find a way to get it.
The countless poisonous dragon double-tailed scorpions hidden in the gravel circle are a huge obstacle.
Oh, isn't there Xiao Hei?
Ye Xing planned to let the Black Hawk drone fly over to pick the immunity fruit.
But this time, he miscalculated.
When the drone was less than three meters away from the immunity fruit, a strange phenomenon occurred.
The rustling sound of the gravel and the squeaking sound of the poisonous scorpions drowned the air!
The gravel circle "moved".
The gray and heavy poisonous dragon double-tailed scorpions crawled out of the gaps as if they were stimulated.
There are at least hundreds of poisonous scorpions in each small gravel circle,
and there are thousands of small gravel circles here.
100,000?
200,000?
It's impossible to count their specific number!
There are so many that it makes people's scalps numb.
They all crawled towards the location of the immunity fruit.
Because of the large number, a scorpion tide was formed.
Although poisonous scorpions have no wings and cannot fly, they directly use the method of stacking to increase their height.
Hundreds of thousands of scorpions piled up together, like a mountain of insects.
This scene was too shocking!
They surrounded and protected the immunity fruit, and attacked the drone desperately.
Although the [Black Hawk UAV] was made of hard material, it was not afraid of their pincer attack.
But how could it be a match for this army of scorpions?
Moreover, a small number of scorpions were huge, no less than adults.
If the [Black Hawk UAV] was pulled down by their brute force, Ye Xing, who had lost the equipment, would be in danger.
"Xiao Hei, come back quickly!"
Ye Xing hurriedly revoked the order and let Xiao Hei fly back.
[My eyes are not blurry, the scorpions piled up into a mountain? ]
[Damn, I have intensive phobia. ]
[If people are trapped in it, wouldn't they turn into slag in seconds? ]
[With this iron wall of insects, it would be difficult for the anchor to steal the fruit. ]
[Steal? If you can't speak, don't speak. Are their names written on this fruit? Whoever gets it will own it! 】
"Let's put this aside for now."
"It's getting dark, and I haven't found a water source yet. This is a life-threatening problem."
"But the environment in which scorpions live requires a certain amount of humidity. There should be a water source nearby."
Ye Xing found a small rosette of green plants 500 meters away.
On the plant hung a pineapple with a green skin, which looked very hydrated.
Ye Xing couldn't wait to chop one off, and after cutting it open, the black flesh was exposed.
【Black pineapple? 】
【Those eyes are cold, and that laughter is charming? 】
【Hahahahaha, I'm laughing to death, are you playing lyrics chain? 】
【The host's title of European Emperor is not for nothing, and you can actually find fruits here. 】
【Knowledge Monster: Host, shut up, this is a voiceless pear, and the juice secreted from the flesh will turn people into dumb people! 】
"This friend is right. This fruit can really poison people and make them mute."
"Don't be greedy when you see it in the wild, even though it tastes good."
"It tastes a bit like blackcurrant, and it's super juicy. I want to eat ten!"
Slurp~
Ye Xing advised others not to eat it while eating it himself.
【? ? ? 】
【Ah Ba Ah Ba? 】
【Isn't this operation of the anchor a bit too coquettish! 】
【Does the anchor really have a body that resists poison? (I don't believe it)】
"I almost forgot to tell you one thing. The voiceless pear is also called the silver bell pear."
"When it is hurt, it will make a silver bell-like laugh like a girl."
"This sound is very hypnotic, so you must plug your ears before eating... Damn, I forgot to plug my ears!"
At this point, Ye Xing reacted and prepared to plug his ears, but it was too late.
"Ah hehe ah hehe hum~"
"Ah hehe ah hehe hum~"
"Ah hehe ah hehe hum~"
As expected, the voiceless pear made a silver bell (ghostly) laugh.
Ye Xing felt that his brain had turned into a high-speed spinning top.
Under the hypnosis of the magic sound, he turned his eyes cross-eyed, fell to the ground, and lost consciousness...
