Chapter 470 The turtle stealing food!
Obviously.
Some unknown creature floated up from the pool.
Facing this unknown danger, Ye Mu wanted to quickly defeat the enemy with silver needles, but the energy of the Zhu Fruit in his body was so pure that he fell asleep before he could even raise his hand.
At the same time, the bubbles in the pool grew bigger and bigger, and then a fist-sized, oval-shaped creature with a snake-like head was revealed.
Then, the entire creature surfaced.
It turned out to be a turtle!
The turtle shell is at least one meter long.
As the saying goes, a thousand-year-old turtle lives for ten thousand years. However, according to scientific research and calculations, this turtle must be at least three hundred years old.
When the turtle slowly swam ashore, its weight could be estimated to be around two hundred kilograms.
This huge turtle can only be compared to a sea turtle. Land turtles like this one are rare.
The turtle slowly crawled to Ye Mu's side, then stopped quietly, as if confirming whether Ye Mu was asleep.
About five or six minutes later, the turtle turned its head and looked at the black tiger sleeping on the ground next to it.
It is enough to see how cautious the turtle is.
After a few minutes, the turtle began to move. It crawled straight to the backpack next to Ye Mu, stretched and retracted its head, and stole a red fruit.
Although the turtle moved slowly, it ate very quickly and swallowed a red fruit in just a few breaths.
Its little eyes seemed to be glowing. When it was about to steal the second red fruit, Ren Qian's stern shout suddenly came from the cave.
“Go away!!!”
With the help of Ye Mu's internal energy, Ren Qian just woke up and saw the turtle outside the cave stealing the red fruit. In just a blink of an eye, it started to steal the second red fruit.
At this moment, Ren Qian finally reacted and rushed out of the cave while shouting loudly.
The turtle was very cautious and wanted to retreat and run away at the first moment, but the food that was about to reach its mouth was gone. It was unwilling to give up, so it quickly stretched and retracted its head, picked up a red fruit, and quickly retreated and ran away.
However, due to its greed, its speed slowed down and Ren Qian, who was coming quickly, stepped on its shell.
"A turtle this big must be an old guy. You stole one and now you want to steal the second one. Do you believe that I will stew you and make soup with you?" Ren Qian was very angry and even more distressed.
As she spoke, she was about to reach out and snatch the red fruit from the turtle's mouth.
However, the turtle opened its mouth and swallowed the red fruit whole, directly into its stomach.
This made Ren Qian very angry.
She raised her foot and stomped on it hard, but the floor hurt her foot, and the turtle didn't move at all.
Just like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, no matter how angry Ren Qian got, the turtle retracted its head into its shell and showed no reaction.
"I'm so pissed!"
Ren Qian didn't intend to let the turtle go, but she still grabbed the turtle shell and threw it into the cave.
Then, she hurriedly began to pick up the red fruits scattered between the backpack and the ground one by one.
However, the remaining number of red fruits made her stand there in a daze.
Seven left!
There were originally thirty-six red fruits. Ye Mu gave six to the golden and silver pythons. She ate two more, so there should be twenty-eight left.
Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that Ye Mu ate a few, but even if Ye Mu ate them, there wouldn't be seven left, right?
Ren Qian almost used her fingers to straighten it out again.
As far as we know, there are six golden and silver pythons, two of which she ate, and the turtle also ate two, which makes a total of ten.
Logically speaking, there should be twenty-six left.
"Could it be that Brother Ye ate all nineteen of them himself?" Ren Qian looked at the only seven red fruits left in the backpack, and couldn't help but slam her head, looking at the sleeping Ye Mu.
"Brother Ye, Brother Ye..."
Ren Qian didn't know that Ye Mu fell into a coma because he had swallowed too many red fruits.
No matter how she pushed or called him, Ye Mu was still fast asleep.
"This guy just fell asleep like this. Isn't he afraid of something dangerous happening?" Ren Qian was a little angry.
Immediately, she sighed helplessly, but when she turned her head inadvertently, she suddenly saw a black tiger lying on the ground not far away, and she stood up with a start.
"What a huge pile..."
Ren Qian couldn't help but be shocked. She observed the black tiger closely, and the feeling of suffocation became even stronger.
"Is it... asleep too?" Ren Qian couldn't help but feel puzzled. She took a tentative step forward.
Black Tiger didn't react at all.
She tried to keep moving forward, ready to retreat if the black tiger suddenly woke up.
However, when she stood beside Hei Hu, Hei Hu still showed no sign of being awake.
"Could it be that this black tiger also ate the red fruit?"
At this moment, Ren Qian suddenly felt relieved, and then she smiled bitterly and looked at Ye Mu, "I finally understand, the reaction after eating the Vermillion Fruit is to sleep."
She thought about her reaction after she ate two red fruits in succession while hiding here not long ago.
At that time, she just followed Ye Mu's advice and ate the red fruit to quench her thirst, and then began to feel drowsy.
That feeling is like drinking too much fine wine and wanting to take a nap comfortably.
Looking at Ye Mu and the black tiger who were now fast asleep, Ren Qian became even more certain that this must be a normal reaction after eating the Zhu Fruit.
Thinking of this, Ren Qian's actions became bolder. She slowly reached out her hand and began to stroke the black tiger's fur.
"Such hard hair!"
This was Ren Qian’s first feeling.
Then, her hand touched the black tiger's head. "I didn't expect the word 'king' on the forehead of this black tiger is golden. It looks so majestic."
However, Ren Qian did not expect that when she was carefully observing the black tiger and stroking its fur, the black tiger suddenly opened its big copper bell eyes.
"woke up!"
Ren Qian blurted out subconsciously.
“Ah…”
With a light roar from the black tiger, it straightened up with a plop, and its blood-red eyes stared at Ren Qian.
Oh no!
At this moment, Ren Qian suddenly came to her senses and began to retreat rapidly.
“Ah…”
The bloodshot light in the black tiger's eyes gradually faded, and it did not pounce on her with its fangs and claws bared as Ren Qian had imagined. Instead, it yawned and walked towards the sleeping Ye Mu with its head shaking.
Seeing Ren Qian's astonished expression, Hei Hu lay down beside Ye Mu and took on the responsibility of bodyguard.
"Have they... become friends?" Ren Qian had already retreated to the side of the pool. Seeing the black tiger lying quietly next to Ye Mu, she couldn't help but guess.
Helplessly, she stayed by the side of the pond and had no intention of approaching the black tiger.
She didn't want to ruin her life based on her own guesswork.
but!
Ye Mu was still sleeping soundly. What if the black tiger attacked Ye Mu? What should he do then?
Thinking of this, she became more and more anxious.
It would definitely be too late to call my companions down the mountain at this time.
"Oh, the golden and silver pythons should be able to help!" Ren Qian suddenly thought of it. When she was about to turn around and leave, she stopped in her tracks.
"no!"
Ren Qian stared at Hei Hu. She was worried that Hei Hu would attack Ye Mu as soon as she left!
What should I do? What should I do?
Ren Qian was so anxious that she was turning around in circles. As time passed, she had already stayed by the side of the pool for half an hour, but still had not come up with any foolproof plan.
"ah……!!!"
At this moment, Ye Mu, who was originally sleeping soundly, shouted out with great pleasure before even opening his eyes.
The black tiger closest to him leaped back suddenly with its thick hooves as if it had seen its natural enemy, putting enough distance between itself and Ye Mu.
