Spiritual Fruit Appears
Seeing the screen switch to Anthony, Begway's eyes instantly focused: "How is Anrita? Is she okay?"
Anthony turned the camera to the bedside——
Anrita was sitting there quietly, her face full of sorrow, her eyes bloodshot, her eye sockets red and swollen from days of crying.
She looked at the other side of the screen, her voice choked with sobs: "Begway, Cody and the others... lost contact in the forest!"
Begway's heart tightened, but he remained calm and soothed softly:
"I already know the whole story. Don't worry, and don't get upset. I've ordered Charlie to lead the mecha team to search and rescue at full speed."
In fact, at first, Begway had considered asking Church to participate in the rescue, but Church's own condition was complicated. If he rashly told Anita, it would only increase her worries.
After weighing the pros and cons, he decided not to disclose the matter for the time being.
Anthony, standing aside, had a solemn expression on his face. He embraced the emotionally broken Anrita with a distressed look, then turned to Begway and asked sternly:
"What happened in the Black Forest? Why did Garl become the target of the tribe?"
Begwei was also confused:
“According to the news, spiritual fruits have appeared in the Black Forest.
You know, it's a treasure said to be a gift from the Beast God. It contains magical energy and is said to enhance spiritual strength when consumed. However, this legend has spread throughout the galaxy, but no one has actually seen the spiritual fruit.
This time I wanted to ask Gal to explore the surrounding area. It didn’t necessarily have to be to find the spiritual fruit, but the main star should also send someone to understand the situation.
But something went wrong, and Garr was hunted down by the tribe for some unknown reason."
He said seriously:
"The Black Forest tribe has always been isolated from the outside world and has lived in seclusion for generations.
In the past, they never interfered with outsiders entering the forest. Occasionally, if someone lost their way asked for help, they would lead them out of the forest as long as they paid them with energy stones.
This incident was truly unexpected.”
Begwe also didn't understand why the people of the Black Forest tribe suddenly became so difficult to deal with.
After discussing with Begway, Anthony decided to wait for support from the mecha team led by Charlie.
The Black Forest is full of dangers, and Anthony is unwilling to take Anita into danger.
He lay on the bed with Anita in his arms, caressing the baby in her belly while whispering, "Don't worry, their fighting power is far beyond your imagination. Everything will be fine."
Anita was still worried. "But didn't you say that the Black Forest Tribe was mysterious? Anthony, is there really a Beast God in the Black Forest?"
In the interstellar orc world, everyone carries the genes of ferocious beasts, and therefore believes in the Beast God and respects the Tree of Life.
The dark forest of this planet has always been a place of pilgrimage for the entire galaxy.
Anthony was silent for a long time before he spoke in a low voice:
"I'm not sure either, An An. I've never seen a beast god since I was a child, but the Dark Forest is indeed extraordinary. There must be unknown secrets hidden in its depths."
He once witnessed an auction of spiritual fruits on the black market, where a thumb-sized red fruit was worth a fortune.
The former leader Jacob once bought one, and his mental power subsequently broke through from A-level to S-level.
Anthony guessed that perhaps it was the spiritual fruit that worked.
A spiritual fruit has such miraculous effects. It is hard to imagine what the Black Forest Tribe can obtain.
Anita was surprised: "There are such magical fruits in the forest?"
Anthony nodded. "Unfortunately, these fruits mostly grow deep in the dark forest, making them difficult for ordinary people to obtain."
Scarcity makes things valuable, so their prices are naturally astonishingly high.
Anita stroked her belly and murmured, "It would be great if I could eat one of these magical fruits. Maybe it would be good for the baby in my belly."
Anthony gazed at her belly tenderly and promised softly, "Baby, baby, if I have the chance in the future, I will definitely buy some for you to try."
The two talked for a while, but Anrita fell into worry again.
Her male partner disappeared in the dark forest, and she was always uneasy.
It was not until late at night that she fell asleep with Anthony's comfort.
It's late at night and the world is immersed in silence.
Just as Anrita fell asleep, a strange dream quietly came to her.
As she slept, her body gradually relaxed and her breathing became steady.
Suddenly, a snow-white spirit deer came into view.
It was agile and light as if dancing in the clouds, jumping happily, like a white lightning, penetrating the transparent glass and entering the room unhindered.
The spirit deer first ran around the room, and the curtains swayed slightly wherever it passed.
Then, it seemed to have discovered something interesting and ran straight towards Anita, jumping around her happily.
Amrita was shocked and tried to wake up from the dream, but her eyelids were heavy and difficult to open.
She wanted to speak to the spirit deer, but her throat seemed to be strangled and she could not make a sound. She could only stare blankly at the playful spirit deer with her eyes wide open.
The spirit deer was completely unaware of her predicament and continued to jump around.
After a while, it stopped by the bed, lowered its head and brought two bright red fruits, gently placed them on the edge of the bed, then raised its eyes to stare at Anrita, and then rushed away like the wind.
At this moment, Anrita suddenly woke up, trembled all over, and sat up quickly.
This action woke up Anthony who was sleeping beside him. He hugged her in his arms and asked nervously: "An An, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
Before Anrita could speak, she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. She covered her mouth and exclaimed, "There really is a fruit!"
Wasn't that just a dream?
She snuggled tightly in Anthony's arms and whispered, "Anthony, go and see if those two fruits were sent by the hotel."
Anthony followed her gaze and couldn't help but exclaimed, "This... is actually a spiritual fruit?!"
He had seen spiritual fruits at Jacob's place before. At that time, the spiritual fruits that Jacob had spent half of his fortune to buy were still small and light pink in color, and were obviously not yet ripe.
The two in front of her were big and red, half the size of Anita's palm, juicy and plump, and full of fruity fragrance.
Anthony carefully picked one up and examined it closely.
The fruit looks like a strawberry, but without the densely packed seeds and has a completely different smell.
He was amazed and said to Anrita, "My dear wife, this is indeed a spiritual fruit. It looks the same as the one Jacob bought that year."
Anita said nervously, "I just dreamed of a white spirit deer delivering two fruits. Could it be... that this wasn't a dream?"
Anthony's expression became even more serious: "What? But I didn't even notice it!"
He was confident in his strength and had led the pirate group for many years without a single defeat, but now he was completely unaware that something strange had entered the room.
Anrita picked up another spiritual fruit. The two fruits were round and red. They were placed in her fair palms, full and overflowing with spiritual energy.
She was struggling with what to do with them when Anthony whispered, "An An, put the fruits in the storage space first. Let them stay in the bag for a while, and then feed them to the babies after they are born."
He even had an absurd idea: Could it be that the spirit deer brought the fruit because Anrita mentioned before going to bed that she wanted the baby to taste the spirit fruit?
Anrita thought for a moment and then put the fruit into the storage space.
Ever since the spirit deer came, Anrita always felt that something was calling her.
She fidgeted in the hotel, often walking to the window and looking in a certain direction.
Two days later, Knox returned again, but still failed to find Cody, Valua and others.
He said worriedly, “It seems that we can only find them by going deep into the jungle.
Anthony naturally did not allow Knox to rashly go deep into the Black Forest, and sighed:
"The Imperial Mecha Team will arrive in two days. Before then, it's better not to go deep into the forest."
If Knox disappears again, the situation will only become more difficult.
After returning this time, Knox no longer went close to the Black Forest to investigate. Instead, he followed Anthony's advice and went to the black market, found some "guides" in the Dark Forest, and hired them to go into the forest to search for people with a high commission.
