Chapter 225 The Special Characteristics of Durian
"Ah--" The miserable howling accompanied by the excited snoring of the beasts was full of primitive, brutal and bloody breath, which made everyone shudder.
Especially Caleb and other baits who were tied up and could be thrown out at any time, their eyes were wide open and their faces were pale, and some of them were even scared to pee.
Smelling the urine smell, Yi Beiming covered his nose with an ugly expression and looked at Shi Yong. Shi Yong understood and stomped his feet. The gravity magnetic field was activated and several tied people immediately floated up.
Yi Beiming crushed two pieces of animal repellent incense and shouted coldly, "Let's go."
Immediately, a group of people hurriedly fled in the other direction of the peach forest. Fortunately, the animal-attracting incense and bait worked well, and the group of huge monsters started a brutal battle for the bait and had no mood to pay attention to them, which bought them a lot of time to escape.
The sounds of heavy footsteps and panting lingered in everyone's ears, but they did not dare to stop. They ran for more than half an hour before they finally got rid of the herd of beasts behind them.
As the roars of the beasts became smaller, they gradually slowed down and finally stopped in a forest with trees taller than the giant peach forest.
A mysterious fragrance was still lingering in the forest. After Yun Qimu took a deep breath, he looked up and saw huge yellow fruits hanging on the towering ancient trees. They were three or four times bigger than peaches, yellow in color, and covered with triangular thorns.
Could this be durian?
"Fuck, what's that stinky smell?" Suddenly a cry of disgust was heard.
Looking up, Dou Xing was covering his mouth and nose with a look of disgust on his face, feeling like he was suffocating.
Shen Tu, who was standing next to him, gave him a surprised look. "What's so stinky about it? It smells really good. It even smells better than the giant peach just now."
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes, opened his arms, and took a deep breath. He looked as if he had been attracted by the fragrance and was deeply obsessed with it. Dou Xing wanted to hit him, thinking that Shen Tu was just trying to make him angry.
"I think it smells good too. This fruit should be delicious." Looking at Dou Xing's expression as if he wished he could die on the spot, Huan Linyuan touched his nose with a look of doubt in his eyes. Is it really that smelly?
Dou Xing looked at him with a look of "you're crazy!" and said, "It's obviously extremely smelly. Is your nose broken? If you don't believe me, ask other people."
So the three of them turned to look at other people. Some of them, like Dou Xing, were covering their noses, looking like they couldn't bear it, but more of them, like Shen Tu, had smiles on their faces, as if they were intoxicated by the fragrance.
This polarization is extremely serious.
Dou Xing and Shen Tu were dumbfounded. What was going on?
Yun Qimu smiled and explained to them, "The fruit that looks like a hedgehog is probably a durian. It's not smooth on the outside. People who love it think it smells wonderful, while people who hate it think it stinks so bad that they avoid it. So it's not that your nose is broken, it's the special nature of the durian itself."
She said this with a happy smile, her eyes full of eagerness to try it out, and you could tell at a glance that she loved it.
Sure enough, she continued, "We've been running for so long and are tired. Why don't we sit down and rest for a while and pick some durian to try?"
This statement immediately drew strong approval from people like Pei Yu who liked durian, and they cheered and said they wanted to get some durian to taste.
How could they miss such a unique fruit?
But Dou Xing and the others looked terrible, with pale faces.
Why would you eat something that smells so bad?
They expressed deep doubts.
Dou Xing turned his head to look at their village leader. Although Yi Beiming was smiling, he covered his nose with his hand, and the smile did not reach his eyes. It was obvious that he did not like durian like him, so he felt a little better in a strange way.
Since Miss Yun had spoken, he could only suppress his urge to leave and cover his nose even harder.
But Dongfang Ji was not so tolerant. He jumped up and protested on the spot, "Hey, hey, hey, we've only been running for half an hour. We just ate peaches, why do we have to rest? You can't do this. We agreed to go kill monsters and open treasure chests. How can you stop for a durian? It's a waste of time. Hurry up and keep looking for the lone beast."
But Huan Linyuan and the others ignored him. They happily surrounded Yun Qimu and watched the golden axe in her hand grow bigger and bigger, trying to hook the durian on it.
The giant durian tree is taller and bigger than the giant peach tree. It will take some effort for them to climb up. It would be faster for Yun Qimu to act like this.
Fortunately, the durian is big, comparable to a beast outside, so killing one is enough for a group of them to share.
"Get bigger, get bigger."
"Yes, yes, yes, it's hooked, it's hooked, push harder."
After a loud bang, a huge durian fell down. A group of people cheered and pounced on it like a big dog seeing dog food.
With their eyes shining brightly, they held clean knives and daggers and shouted in amazement, "Wow, the shell of this durian is so hard, how do we pry it open?"
"Try using my knife that can cut through iron like mud and cut through the hardest turtle shell in one stroke." Pei Yu held a sharp long knife in his hand, with a look of joy on his face, eager to try.
The others gathered around him and cheered, "Then you try it first, we'll watch from here. If it doesn't work, I have a sword that will shake the heavens and earth and make ghosts weep."
"Hahaha, I can give this big knife that can cut animals like cutting vegetables a try."
Dongfang Ji, who was excluded by everyone, shouted at the top of his lungs but no one paid any attention to him. Instead, those people became more enthusiastic about studying how to crack the durian shell.
Oriental Festival:
He drooped his head, covered his nose, and muttered aggrievedly on his delicate face, "A bunch of people who only know how to eat and drink, with no ambition at all, huh."
Tang Liangjun comforted him, "Don't worry, we'll leave after we finish eating. Besides, Miss Yun and Mr. Zhong Teng are both calculating people who know exactly what to do and when to do it. Besides, the value of the fruits here is no less than that of killing monsters. Young Master, please be patient for a while. We still have to rely on them to get the good stuff."
Dongfang Ji lowered his head even lower. Although he was unwilling, he still endured it and responded sullenly, "I know, it's just a bad smell. It's not that unbearable. I'll just wait a little longer."
"That's good, the young master has grown up." Tang Liangjun is a young man, but his tone is like that of an elder.
After comforting her, he finally couldn't contain his excitement, "Well, Master, since you're here, I'll go and try the durian too."
Before he could even finish his words, he leaped out and ran towards the crowd, excitedly shouting, "I know. I can figure out its weak point. We can start from there."
"Good fellow, I've heard that you're good at divination. Come quickly, good brother."
So, Tang Liangjun perfectly integrated into the group of excited foodies.
Dongfang Ji: My good brother betrayed me!
