Chapter 246: Treasure Tree of Meat
"Let"s follow!"
When the black-clad examinees saw this, they gritted their teeth.They were at their wits" end and could only follow Xia Ping and the others. Otherwise, staying here would also mean death.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Immediately, a group of people rushed into this oasis.
The oasis was densely packed with trees.Some of them were even towering trees that reached hundreds of meters. Upon entering the forest, it was as if they had entered a giant country.
Strangely enough, after the exam candidates rushed into the oasis, the group of desert scorpions seemed to have reached the edge of the oasis and stopped moving.
Swish! Swish!
They stopped at the edge of the forest one by one, almost surrounding the entire area. It was as vast as a tide, but even with such power, they didn"t dare to enter. It was as if they were afraid of something, and they didn"t dare enter at all, constantly pacing about nearby.
"That"s great. "Those Desert Scorpions won"t dare to come in."
When one of the examinees saw this, he was overjoyed. Just now, he was being chased by these poisonous scorpions and was scared out of his wits. Now, seeing that these poisonous scorpions couldn"t enter the forest, he didn"t know how excited he was.
"Strange, why don"t these Desert Scorpions dare to come in?" There were also examinees who expressed their doubts.
Someone shouted, "Is there a need to ask?" "If the forest isn"t the natural enemy of these desert scorpions, then it"s because there are even more terrifying creatures in the forest."
What?!
Hearing this, the faces of all the examinees changed drastically. Putting aside whether there were any natural enemies of the Desert Scorpions in the forest, in such a dangerous environment, no one would believe that there were no terrifying creatures in the forest.
Some of the examinees were even more trembling. They had just left the wolf den, yet now they had to enter the tiger cave?
"Big brother."
Feng Hetang looked at Xia Ping nervously. He could also sense that the atmosphere around the forest was a little unusual. It seemed that terrifying monsters were lurking around.
Chu Rong, Jiang Yaru, and Nangong Wu also looked at Xia Ping.
"Just follow me." Xia Ping waved his hand. He had indeed sensed that the surrounding air was filled with the smell of tyrannical monsters, each one incomparably fierce.
It was even possible that there was a Martial Master-level monster hiding in the depths of the forest. If they encountered a monster of that level, no matter how many of them went over, they wouldn"t even be enough to take a bite from it.
Fortunately, he knew the Thousand Mile Tracking Art and could distinguish the smell in the air. He could sense which place had a dangerous smell and which place was safer.
Whoosh!
His movements were agile as he headed northeast.
Jiang Yaru and the others quickly followed without any hesitation.
"What should we do?" Someone looked at the black-clothed examinee hesitantly. This was because the other party was their leader, and it was probably not a good thing to run around in this dangerous jungle.
"That brat is a bit strange, he might have some special survival skills. Let"s follow him." The black-clothed examinee"s eyes flickered, revealing a hint of shrewdness. He wanted to follow Xia Ping.
The others nodded as well. The pretty boy from Yangzhou District was indeed a little strange. He clearly hadn"t approached the lake, yet he knew that there was something wrong with the water there.
If he did not know this beforehand, he must have sensed that something was wrong and had a special ability.
No matter what it was, there was absolutely no harm in following that kid. It was better than them running around like headless flies. If they broke into some powerful monster"s nest, they would be finished.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
All of a sudden, the candidates from Jizhou District moved quickly and followed closely behind, afraid that they would lose track of Xia Ping and the others if they were one step behind.
"Big Brother, those people are following us." Feng Hetang noticed the movements of the Jizhou District candidates.
Xia Ping said calmly, "Don"t bother about them." After the incident just now, many of these people had died or been injured. There were still more than 20 people left. This was not a threat to him.
"But, Big Brother, where are we going?" We"ve been walking for hours. We"re thirsty and tired. "If this continues, we"ll be dead." Feng Hetang was very helpless.
If not for the fact that he was in a life-and-death situation, he would have wanted to lie down and sleep.
Jiang Yaru, Chu Rong, and Nangong Wu were the same. Although their physiques were slightly stronger than Feng Hetang"s, they weren"t much stronger. It was only a matter of time before they collapsed from exhaustion.
"It"s alright; I can smell the food." Follow me." Xia Ping smiled; in such a forest with abundant resources, it was not strange to have food.
"Really?!" Hearing this, not only Feng Hetang, but even Jiang Yaru and the others were excited.
Xia Ping smiled. "Not far, about half an hour."
"Alright!"
Jiang Yaru and the others were energized. They worked hard and followed Xia Ping. As long as there was food, they could be revived.
"We"re here."
They ran for half an hour, turning left and right in the jungle. They pa.s.sed through towering trees and green vines. They also encountered some monsters, but they were not very strong. They were all easily dealt with by Xia Ping and the others.
Although the Jizhou candidates didn"t understand why Xia Ping and the others were heading in this direction, they still chased after them relentlessly.
They had arrived!
Hearing Xia Ping"s words, Jiang Yaru, Chu Rong, Nangong Wu, and Feng Hetang immediately raised their heads and looked ahead. Immediately, a towering tree appeared in front of them. It was over a hundred meters tall.
However, this was not an ordinary tree. On the branches grew fruits the size of watermelons. They were very heavy.
In fact, it was no ordinary fruit. Its appearance was like a gemstone. It was sparkling and translucent. Under the sunlight, it sparkled like the most precious diamond in the world.
The air was filled with a fragrant smell. This was the fragrance of meat. It was enough to arouse the desire in the depths of a human"s body. Saliva could not help but flow out, and his stomach rumbled.
"Oh my G.o.d, isn"t this the precious tree of meat?" "In the ruins of the Sandstorm Ruins, in this forest, there actually grew such a wondrous tree?!" A Jizhou exam candidate immediately cried out in shock.
Someone didn"t understand. "What is a Treasure Tree of Meat?"
"Idiot, have you never learned the Yan Huang Star Mystic Portrait Book?"
The examiner expected better from him. "This treasure meat tree is a kind of heaven and earth wonder tree." "It absorbs the nutrients of the earth and absorbs the flesh and blood essence of countless monsters to grow."
"The fruit it grows is called gem fruit."
"This Gemstone Fruit is not an ordinary fruit. It is made of flesh. The flesh inside the fruit contains the best meat in the world. It contains a large amount of life energy and is infinitely beneficial to the human body. It is many times better than the flesh of monsters."
"This type of gemstone fruit is worth ten million federal coins per gram."
"That"s the world"s most precious treasure. It"s a treasure that can"t be bought with money. It"s priceless. In the black market, it can even be hyped up to 50 million federal coins per gram."
"As long as we eat a Gemstone Fruit like this, I estimate that we will be able to replenish our energy in a day." It can even increase our martial arts cultivation. "It"s no less than a supplementary elixir."
When they heard this, the group of examinees looked at the Gemstone Fruit fervently, wishing they could immediately seize it.
