Chapter 113 I Never Expected
These giant trees left a huge impression on the humans here. When the doomsday came before, it was these giant trees that suddenly sprang out from the ground, causing many people to lose their lives.
Many buildings were defenseless against these trees and collapsed.
Now that wild monsters have actually sneaked in, people's first reaction is goose bumps.
Many professional players then entered the city from outside. Seeing them still blocking the city gate, one said sternly, "Go back quickly! It's dangerous outside now. Don't go out to gather food."
The child nodded immediately. He would never dare to go to the fields alone to collect crops again, and he would not go to the edge of the fields either.
The female archer knew the city lord and immediately sent an email to inform him of the situation.
She noticed that many strange birds and monsters had hidden in the treetops, and even more monsters seemed to know that there were other of their kind in the treetops, so they continued to fly south without stopping.
Only occasionally would a group of dozens of wild monsters attack humans within their sight.

Lu Jiu entered the crown of the giant tree and saw a large number of fruits arranged neatly inside. The fruits were dark purple in color, large and round, and were all hung on the branches by a thin root.
“Oh my god!”
She couldn't help but swear, and she said that she seemed to see something round. She didn't expect that the tree would bear fruit, and it was quite beautiful.
In Lu Jiu's impression, the trees that can be seen everywhere on the streets rarely bear fruit, so in her impression, the giant trees are just ornamental trees.
Apart from the initial fear they brought to people, they were just trees in the rest of life.
Lu Jiu reached out and picked one. With a "click", the fruit was easily picked off. It felt heavy in his hand and a little soft on the surface. This was probably a sign of ripeness.
But she didn't dare eat it, not knowing whether it was poisonous or not, because there was no information displayed when the fruit was picked.
Maybe the fruits produced in the game world should be good things, because they rarely see such fruits.
In the past, at most you could pick a few unfamiliar fruits from the bushes, and in fact, the people who picked them couldn’t tell whether they were from Earth or not.
However, at least they will be displayed with a name, so the people who pick them may not recognize them and think they are produced by the game world.
But the fruit of this giant tree is obviously not a product of Earth.
She was very happy to get the fruit. Shen Jufeng was okay, but how was she going to explain to Zhuang Yun how she picked the fruit from the crown of the giant tree.
I have a bit of a headache.
She sat in the tree canopy and sent an email to Shen Jufeng.
Shen Jufeng, who was still in the tent, read the email without any expression. He didn't expect that Lu Jiuzhen had found something interesting.
He stood up and walked over to Zhuang Yun. "Lu Jiu encountered some wild monsters over there. I'll go help her and be back soon."
When Zhuang Yun heard that Lu Jiu had encountered a wild monster, he immediately jumped up and said, "Why don't I go too?"
Shen Jufeng waved his hand and said, "You stay here and watch over the tent. Don't let it get stepped on by the monsters that suddenly appear."
Zhuang Yun could only stay behind, while Shen Jufeng went out alone to pick someone up.
When he arrived at the said place, he saw Lu Jiu standing under a huge tree, holding a dark purple fruit in his hand, which was bigger than Lu Jiu's hand.
Seeing Shen Jufeng coming, Lu Jiu looked excited, "Hurry up, Brother Shen, look at this fruit."
When Shen Jufeng came over, she immediately handed the fruit over. "As soon as I walked in, I saw that the treetops were full of these fruits. The rows of them looked spectacular."
Shen Jufeng just looked at the fruit, which looked really good. "I'll show it to the NPCs in the shop when I get back."
"Then why don't you tell Zhuang Yun about this? If this is a good thing, more people will come to pick it."
Anyway, Lu Jiu felt that this must be something extraordinary.
Shen Jufeng's gaze fell on Lu Jiu, "What do you think of Zhuang Yun?"
"Not bad, hardworking and capable, not talkative. I quite like teammates like this."
Moreover, Zhuang Yun is a good cook, so he is relied upon for three meals every time he goes out. He also tries his best not to fall behind in battle, and often leaves the final blow to wild monsters for them.
"I like him too. He's quite smart. He never asks questions he shouldn't ask, and never grabs what he doesn't deserve."
This was obvious to all. Although it was obvious that he and Lu Jiu were stronger, Zhuang Yun did not ask for anything from them based on their small friendship.
It was the giant sword that he gave him last time. Later, Zhuang Yun also returned him a piece of armor.
"So you think you can also tell him that I'm the first mover?"
She really hoped that Zhuang Yun knew this, so that she wouldn't have to be so cautious when going out to play jungle in the future, fearing that she would take out some props that shouldn't appear.
Shen Jufeng chuckled and looked at Lu Jiu with a playful look in his eyes, "You don't need to tell him specifically, he should have guessed it a long time ago. This is what I admire about him, he never asks questions that he shouldn't ask."
Lu Jiu was stunned. Was he so obvious?
Shen Jufeng shook the fruit in his hand and said, "I think he became suspicious when you were with Flower Spider in Jinghe District. After all, it was really abrupt to do that."
Lu Jiu thought back to what happened. She had directly asked the two of them to go first. Shen Jufeng immediately dragged Zhuang Yun away. Although Zhuang Yun looked confused at the time, she did not ask them a single question about their behavior afterwards. She only asked if she was injured.
She was a little discouraged.
When I saw the flower spider about to attack the boy, I acted impulsively without thinking too much.
But she quickly put the matter aside and stared at the fruit in Shen Jufeng's hand, "Then tell me, take this back quickly, I am only curious about this matter now."
Shen Jufeng held the fruit in his hand, put his hands behind his back, turned around with a smile on his face and walked away first, and Lu Jiu followed behind.
Zhuang Yun had already prepared the food in the tent. He was scratching his head outside the tent, wondering whether he should go and take a look. When he turned around, he saw two figures approaching.
They had been working together for a while, and he recognized them as Shen Jufeng and Lu Jiu.
He walked forward and saw that the two had no wounds on their bodies. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm glad you're okay. The meal is ready. I'm waiting for you two to come back."
Today's lunch was still sumptuous. Lu Jiu secretly swallowed his saliva and stared at Shen Jufeng quietly.
The old man was as calm as usual. He sat down at the small coffee table as usual and placed the dark purple fruit on the table.
Zhuang Yun was stunned when he saw the fruit, then he picked up the water cup and took a sip, "Is this a new fruit?" Although he remembered that there were no fruit trees nearby.
"What Lu Jiu picked from the crown of the giant tree was the fruit of the giant tree."
The water Zhuang Yun drank got stuck in his throat and he almost spit it out. He pursed his lips and coughed violently. Seeing him like this, Lu Jiu knew that what Shen Jufeng said was right. Zhuang Yun had guessed that she was the first mover.
As for being so excited, it was probably because they didn't expect them to reveal the news so suddenly.
Without blinking, Shen Jufeng continued, “You should have guessed that Lu Jiu is an early adopter.”
Zhuang Yun tried to calm his cough and nodded.
Shen Jufeng: "Now we suspect that this fruit has some effect. We will go back to the city and show it to the NPC store manager. Today's clearing trip has been canceled at the last minute. It's really a good thing. We need you to pick it with us."
