Chapter 319 Brother Xiong Xiong, will this fruit satisfy your hunger?
Lingxi looked at Ajiu's face which looked like "I'm so hungry, I'm so pitiful", and the sadness and heaviness in her heart were diluted a lot. She just felt that this savior was really interesting.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled softly, "Please follow me, my two benefactors. You have consumed too much energy and need to rest and replenish your energy."
As she spoke, she turned and walked towards the sacred tree that served as the carrier of the sacred tree core.
At this moment, the huge tree canopy almost covered half of the sky, and each leaf seemed to be carved from jade, sparkling with a warm luster.
Lingxi walked to the tree trunk, stretched out his hand and gently touched the rough bark.
She closed her eyes and muttered something.
A moment later, light and shadow flowed on the tree trunk, and a spiral staircase woven from vines and green leaves appeared out of thin air, extending into the depths of the dense canopy.
"please."
Lingxi made an inviting gesture.
Ah Jiu exclaimed "Wow", his big eyes filled with surprise.
"This is amazing, like a magic trick." As she spoke, she stepped on it curiously and stomped on it, and found that the vine ladder was extremely strong.
At the end of the stairs is a spacious and elegant tree house.
The entire tree house seems to be a natural creation, cleverly constructed from huge branches and leaves. There are several tables and chairs made of tree roots in the house. The air is full of the fragrance of plants, and through the gaps between the branches and leaves, you can see the blue sky and white clouds outside.
This place is simply a paradise.
Jiu sat down on a stool at the roots of a tree, looking around and finding everything new.
Lingxi looked at her with a smile, then walked to the center of the tree house and stretched out his hand towards a branch above his head.
The branch slowly bent down, and at its top, crystal clear fruits grew and matured rapidly.
Lingxi picked a few fruits, placed them on a broad leaf and handed them to Ajiu and Xiao Yu.
"This is the sacred fruit from our Tingfeng Forest Sea. It contains the purest life energy and can quickly restore your physical and mental strength."
Ajiu's eyes lit up instantly.
She didn't bother to be polite and picked up a red fruit and stuffed it into her mouth.
“Hmm…”
The feeling when you put the fruit in your mouth is simply indescribable.
The sweet juice exploded in the mouth and slid down the throat, turning into an extremely comfortable warm current, instantly dispelling all the fatigue and weakness in the body.
Most importantly, the hunger that was nagging her was instantly relieved.
"tasty."
Jiu finished one in two bites, then picked up another one without hesitation, stuffing his cheeks so full that he looked like a little hamster stealing food.
Xiao Yu looked at her useless appearance, smiled and touched her head, "Ajiu, eat slowly."
He also picked up a fruit and took a slow bite.
The effect was exactly as Lingxi said. The pure life energy quickly replenished the consumption caused by his previous use of the dragon vein ancestral energy.
"Thank you." Xiao Yu nodded to Lingxi.
"I should be the one thanking you," Lingxi shook his head and sat down beside him, his expression becoming serious again. "Your Highness, what is the foundation you are talking about?"
Although she is the guardian of the Tingfeng clan, there is a gap in her inherited memory. She actually doesn't know much about the sudden disaster that befell her clan.
Xiao Yu swallowed the fruit pulp in his mouth and explained in a deep voice: "Those are the coordinates used by the evil demons from outside the domain to erode our world."
"In the southern border, there are hundreds of thousands of volcanoes. In the eastern part, there is a sea of corruption. In the capital, there are ruins of the divine machine."
"Their goal is to completely pollute the original dragon veins of our world and eventually transform the entire world into a demonic realm suitable for their survival."
When Lingxi heard this, her face turned pale.
"Then...then we should..."
"We have destroyed two foundations," Xiao Yu said calmly, looking at Ajiu who was struggling with the third fruit.
Ah Jiu had just swallowed the fruit when he heard this and interrupted incoherently.
"Are we going to fight again?"
Xiao Yu glanced at Ajiu, and there was a rare hint of tenderness in his eyes.
"Pretty much," he replied, "So, we need more allies like you."
Lingxi nodded heavily, "I understand. No matter what the road ahead holds, I will fight alongside you."
Ajiu didn't think too much about it. She counted on her fingers.
Does another fight mean I can eat such delicious fruit again?
If this is true, then it doesn't seem unacceptable.
Thinking of this, she raised the half-eaten fruit in her hand and looked at Xiao Yu and Lingxi seriously.
"Brother Xiongxiong, Lingxi, this fruit...will it fill you up?"
Lingxi was stunned by her sudden question, and then burst out laughing.
Xiao Yu: “…”
Seeing that Brother Xiongxiong didn't say anything, Jiu turned around and looked at his new friend with his bright eyes.
Lingxi smiled and picked a handful of ruby-like fruits from the branch, wrapped them in leaves and handed them to her.
"You'll be full," she said softly. "You can come anytime you want to eat."
"You're such a good person."
Ajiu immediately gave Lingxi a good guy card, then contentedly leaned against the wall of the comfortable tree house with a big bag of fruits in his arms and started eating them one by one.
After eating and drinking, I felt tired quickly, my head nodded slowly, and finally I fell asleep leaning against the wall.
She was sleeping soundly, holding the bag of uneaten fruit tightly in her hands.
The tree house fell silent for a moment.
Lingxi looked at the sleeping Ajiu, then looked at Xiao Yu who was closing his eyes and regulating his breathing, and tactfully did not disturb him again.
She stood up and quietly left the tree house.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yu slowly opened his eyes.
His skills have been fully restored, and even because of the stimulation of the dragon vein ancestral energy and the holy tree's life energy, there has been a slight improvement.
He turned his head and his eyes fell on Jiu who was sleeping soundly.
The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows on her peaceful sleeping face, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly with her breathing.
He looked at her, his eyes becoming deep and gentle.
This little guy always manages to disrupt the atmosphere in the most unexpected way even at the most tense and serious moments.
But it is precisely her innocent nature that makes her the most precious bright spot in this dark and chaotic world.
He reached out to brush a fallen leaf off her face, then took off his robe and gently covered her with it.
"Ajiu, I'm glad you're here."
