Chapter 227 Demono Fruit
One day, after dinner, the group looked at the plate of red fruits on the table. The fruits exuded a sweet aroma and were very tempting. Although they had found some berries in the past two days, those sour berries were obviously not as tempting as this fruit.
"I don't know what kind of red fruit this is. It has energy fluctuations, but it can be preserved so well in the wild without any signs of being bitten by birds, insects or animals. I'm afraid it must be a bit weird." Lin Mo said.
Lin Mo's meaning was very clear, that is, he suspected that this fruit was poisonous and could not be eaten.
"I've never seen this kind of fruit before. I have to study it first to see if there is anything strange about it." Di Youlin curiously held one in his hand and observed it.
"By the way, didn't Lan Xin study various types of plants before coming here? Lan Xin, come and take a look." Di Youlin looked at Lan Xin.
Lan Xin looked at Ning Xuan and saw her nod. She took two steps forward, picked up the fruit, and a circle of light green energy halo condensed at her fingertips.
"The plant that grows this fruit has a distinct main trunk and is tall. It belongs to the Umbelliferae family. The main stem is red like coral and has snake-scale-like ring patterns on the surface. The leaves are opposite, oval in shape and have serrated edges. The fruit produced by trees with these characteristics is generally non-toxic." Lan Xin analyzed based on the characteristics of the fruit trees.
"I can prepare a universal reagent. It is colorless and transparent, and it will change color when it encounters toxic substances. I will squeeze out some juice and try it now."
After Lan Xin finished speaking, she immediately went to prepare the reagent. A few minutes later, she cut a piece of the red fruit, squeezed out a few drops of scarlet juice and dripped it into the reagent. The transparent reagent quickly turned red.
"This is the original color of the juice, and it doesn't change color. Judging from the color of the reagent, the fruit should be non-toxic." Lan Xin said affirmatively.
To further verify, he ate the red fruit he had just cut.
"Hey, why did you eat it? You can catch a living creature to try it out first..." Kyuubi said anxiously.
Before Jiuwei finished speaking, Lan Xin quickly took the remaining whole red fruit and started to eat it, muttering, "It's so sweet and delicious."
While the others were stunned, Ning Xuan slapped Lan Xin's hand, trying to get him to let go of the fruit. However, Lan Xin held the fruit tightly with both hands, and she didn't slap it away.
"Hold him down and take that away." Ning Xuan ordered.
Chen Nan, Qinghe and Jiuwei went up to hold him down, only to see Lan Xin struggling desperately. Now everyone realized that something was wrong.
Lan Xin struggled desperately. Chen Nan and the others were afraid of hurting him, so they couldn't hold him down for a while. Ning Xuan released vines, and one of the vines quickly tied Lan Xin tightly. He could only struggle like a fish out of water, "Give it to me, give it to me quickly."
Ning Xuan felt Lan Xin's pulse. It was fast and shallow. Her Qi and blood were abundant and there was no sign of poisoning. Her breathing was shallow and rapid, and her autonomic nervous system was extremely excited. It was obvious that Lan Xin was now trapped in an illusion.
Ning Xuan took out the golden needles and selected several acupuncture points and quickly inserted them into Lan Xin's body. Some of these acupuncture points were sleeping points, which should have made Lan Xin fall asleep quickly. However, Lan Xin was still struggling.
He kept shouting, "Give it to me now."
Ning Xuan found a bottle of refreshing medicine in the medicine box, and asked Jiuwei to give it to him.
Just when everyone was paying attention to Lan Xin, Zhang Nan picked up the fruit that had just fallen on the ground and was about to take a bite.
"Put it down." Ning Xuan accidentally saw this scene and stopped him immediately.
After Ning Xuan took the fruit away, Zhang Nan finally came back to his senses. He scratched his head in confusion, "I'm sorry, I don't know why I took the fruit away. It's like I was controlled."
"I've seen in the atlas of exotic plants in the alchemy department that there is a kind of fruit that I haven't seen for many years. It's called the Moro Fruit. The pulp and juice of the Moro Fruit has a strong hallucinogenic effect. Once the skin is broken, the juice of the pulp will emit a substance that can lure prey to eat it." Ning Xuan said thoughtfully, looking at the broken fruit.
"Master, are you saying that this kind of fruit might be the Mara fruit?" Chen Nan asked.
"It may not necessarily be the Mara Fruit, but it is obvious that this fruit has similar effects to the Mara Fruit." Ning Xuan said.
"Ugh, it hurts, it hurts so much!" Lan Xin groaned in pain.
Qinghe lifted her sleeves and saw a layer of green scales on Lan Xin's arm. The scales stood up one by one, like sharp knives, piercing into Lan Xin's body.
Bright red blood oozed out from the places where the vines bound them.
"Master, the scales in Lan Xin's body were growing outwards, but were blocked by the vines. The scales could not grow out, so they pierced the tissues in his body, causing the bleeding." Qinghe had had such an experience before and understood something about Lan Xin's pain at this moment.
Ning Xuan put the fruit with broken skin into the space ring, and then withdrew the vine.
Lan Xin regained his freedom and immediately crawled around the house, sniffing around as if he was looking for the fruit he had just found. When he saw that he couldn't find any, he tried to rush out madly. Qinghe came to try to stop him, and he started fighting with Qinghe.
At this time, Lan Xin displayed a fighting power far beyond his usual level. Lin Mo was afraid that they would damage the environment inside the tree hole, so he released a protective barrier to cover the area.
After fighting for about ten minutes, Lan Xin's blue eyes turned bright red, and black mist overflowed from around her body.
"Master, Lan Xin's spiritual sea is in turmoil, and the alienation value is too high. I'm afraid, I'm afraid..." Qinghe said to Ning Xuan while beating him.
Ning Xuan also noticed Lan Xin's abnormality at this time. She asked Lin Mo and others to help Qinghe control him and fed him a tube of alienation value clearing potion. At the same time, she placed her palm on the Baihui point on the top of Lan Xin's head and probed her mental power into his mind.
There was a violent storm in Lan Xin's spiritual sea, and huge black waves were surging on the turbulent sea.
As soon as Ning Xuan's fingertips touched the boiling spiritual sea, she was shocked by the violent energy and her finger bones went numb. The sea water took on a strange color, and the huge waves and hurricanes cut the entire space into a fragmented vortex.
"boom!"
When a thunderbolt struck the sea, she finally saw the creature hiding under the dark waves. A giant snake was looming under the waves, its blue tail rolling up huge waves, its scales reflecting the cold metallic light in the lightning, and every surge made the sea of ​​spirituality boil more violently.
Ning Xuan saw the scene through her consciousness and was incredibly horrified. She had never expected that the usually gentle Lan Xin's spiritual sea could be so turbulent and strange.
