Nan Muran smiled and shook her head: "No need, this time we have made friends with the creatures of Devil Cry Mountain, there is no need to make this trip."
"They really treat you as a friend." Thinking of the Liuguang Fruit that Ma Teng specially sent to them, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
"I've been lying in bed for a few days and my whole body feels stiff. You guys take a rest. I'll go out for a walk by myself." Nan Muran stood up and stretched her arms.
"I'll go out with you." Jiawu also stood up.
Nan Muran hurriedly shook her head: "No need, Brother Wu, there is no place in this mountain that I can't go to now."
Jiawu thought about it and agreed, nodding his head.
Nan Muran came out of the cave alone. Before she had time to feel the surrounding atmosphere, she heard the chattering of various little creatures outside.
Matou: Human, you've woken up.
Huo Teng: That’s great.
Huahua: The Liuguang Fruit is indeed the most powerful fruit under the sun.
Little Grass: The big tree said that the Flowing Light Fruit can help humans change. Beautiful humans, do you feel that you have changed?
Huo Teng: She will become more powerful.
…
"There have indeed been great changes. Thank you." Nan Muran smiled as she watched them jumping around. The rewards she received after helping them far exceeded her imagination.
There are also many mutated plants in this mountain. They shrink and gather together just like Xiao Liu and the others. It is really interesting.
Ma Teng: You're welcome. The old tree grandfather said that good plants should know how to repay kindness. And the old tree grandfather will grow new flowing fruits in the future.
Huahua: Yes, it was Grandpa Ancient Tree who asked us to give you the Flowing Fruit.
"Can you take me to find the ancient tree?" Nan Muran said, looking at them.
After hesitating for a while, Ma Teng nodded happily: Okay, the ancient tree grandpa is at the top of the mountain.
Huahua: The old tree is very big.
Nan Muran responded to their chatter with a smile, and by the way, under the guidance of a bunch of little cuties, she prepared to go up the mountain to see the ancient tree to see if she could get some mutant fruits from it.
After only taking a few steps, she discovered several people following her not far behind.
"Are you so worried about me being alone?" Nan Muran said helplessly as she looked at Jiawu, He Yifeng and Qijin who were following closely behind her.
Jiawu looked at her with obvious reproach in his eyes: "The mountain top is so far away, and you plan to go there alone without even telling me?"
"It was a temporary decision."
"I wouldn't believe you." Jiawu rejected her without hesitation.
Nan Muran smiled awkwardly, knowing that she couldn't persuade the three to go back, so she had to change the subject: "Okay, let's go up the mountain together."
Devil May Cry Mountain is sparsely populated, and there are no artificial paths on the way up the mountain. The hemp vines that have lived in the dense forest all year round cannot understand the walking habits of humans, so there are all kinds of cliffs on the way up the mountain.
Xiao Liu couldn't bear to watch this, so he used willow branches to go around the four of them and took them over.
But even in this situation, it still took them more than three hours to walk up the mountain.
When they reached the top of the mountain and saw the ancient tree, the four of them were all stunned. The tree was so big that it was scary. It was almost like a mountain.
"How many years has this tree been growing?" He Yifeng looked up and saw the ancient tree that seemed to reach the sky with no end in sight, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
After hesitating for a moment, Nan Muran reached out and touched the trunk of the tree, feeling its rings and letting out a sigh of relief: "It has been standing here for more than two thousand years."
"This ancient tree is more than two thousand years old and is a living fossil." Jiawu was also shocked.
The ancient tree seemed to sense Nan Muran's presence, and its drooping branches gently touched her white fingers, as if greeting her.
"Hello." Nan Muran looked at it with some confusion.
Xuan Wu had said before that the fruit of this ancient tree was good for humans, but now he couldn’t see any fruit at all.
"Do you want my fruit?" An old voice suddenly sounded in Nan Muran's ears.
Nan Muran was stunned for a moment, then nodded honestly: "My friend said that your fruit can help humans improve their superpowers."
"You helped the creatures of Devil May Cry Mountain, I can give you fruit, but you have to do something for me." The old voice of the ancient tree continued.
"I'm not sure I can do it." Nan Muran did not agree immediately. These creatures that have existed for thousands of years have existences beyond her cognition. She cannot deceive them just to get the fruit.
Hearing her words, Gu Shu's voice was obviously full of smiles: "What you want to do in the back mountain is what I need you to do."
"Take away the big blue treasure?" Nan Muran was a little uncertain.
There was a hint of trance in the ancient tree's voice: "It may not be a treasure."
"What do you mean?" Nan Muran was a little confused. She had come into contact with the blue substance before, and it should be the same as the big green treasure in the space. It was definitely a good thing.
"It's different from the one in your space. It can not only help humans improve their supernatural powers, but also make humans crazy." The voice of the ancient tree sounded again, but the words it said made Nan Muran completely stunned.
"Do you know Xuan Wu?" Nan Muran asked uncertainly.
The ancient tree chuckled: "It is not the mysterious mist, it is the common people in this world."
"The common people?" Nan Muran was confused. It's not Xuan Wu, it's Cangsheng. What the hell is that?
At this moment, Xuan Wu in the space suddenly spoke: "How long can you hold on?"
Just when Nan Muran was confused, the ancient tree answered Xuan Wu's question: "It won't be long, so we need you to take that guy away and restore the Ghost Sorrow River to its original state."
"Is that your last Liuguang Fruit?" There was obvious regret in Xuan Wu's tone.
The ancient tree chuckled, his tone revealing relief: "I am also a flowing light fruit."
"You won't die?" Xuan Wu suddenly said.
"What?" Gu Shu was obviously surprised by Xuan Wu's words.
"You accidentally saved your own life. Ranran, use your life force to help it check the position of the trunk." Xuan Wu suddenly said.
Although Nan Muran was puzzled, she still followed Xuan Wu's instructions and released her vitality directly into the trunk of the ancient tree. However, she was shocked when she felt the clear and strong white threads emanating from her vitality.
After the life power was upgraded, everything seemed to be different.
Suddenly, Nan Muran was startled by the completely blackened roots of the ancient tree: "What is this?"
"That guy is as hateful as ever." Xuan Wu said lightly.
"What does this have to do with the black water next to that blue guy?" Nan Muran also realized something was wrong during their conversation.
