Volume 1 Chapter 403: Burning Blood Fruit
"Where am I...?"
Li Nezha looked around in confusion, hoping to find something other than reefs, but unfortunately there was nothing around.
Li Nezha was sad and thought to himself: "Where is Gan Ce... Where is Lu Feng... Your Majesty..."
After standing there in sadness for a while, Li Nezha finally stood up with difficulty due to his desire for fresh water, found a direction and slowly walked forward.
After walking only twenty meters, Li Nezha suddenly saw a strange object shaking in the distance. He squinted and his mind suddenly became a little clearer. He stood there at a loss, not daring to move forward.
The swaying foreign object in front was the triangular head of a long snake with brown and yellow patterns. It was sticking out its tongue and looking around, as if looking for something.
Suddenly, more than ten similar heads stretched out from behind it and quickly moved forward. Li Nezha could see clearly that they were more than ten big snakes, all shaking their heads.
Just kidding, if there was only one big snake in front, Li Nezha would muster up the courage to move forward and give it a try, but if there were more than ten... Li Nezha just didn't dare to move forward at all.
Fresh water is very important. If he doesn’t find fresh water, he will die. But if he continues to move forward, he will die immediately, completely.
Just as Li Nezha was looking around for another way, the dozen or so large patterned snakes suddenly turned their heads towards him.
Li Nezha's heart tightened, and the next moment more than ten large patterned snakes quickly crawled towards him. Li Nezha was so frightened that he turned around and ran away, sobbing and crying, obviously feeling very aggrieved.
After running for a short while, Li Nezha suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground. He rolled down the slope, stumbling all the way, and his body rolled on the hard stones in great pain.
Li Nezha was thinking how nice it would be if he died right now. Then he wouldn't have to suffer so much. This half-dead and extremely painful state was so uncomfortable.
It was not known how long it had passed before Li Nezha opened his eyes again. He stood up and looked around in a daze, and saw rocks all around him. He did not know where he was, but the long snakes that had just appeared were nowhere to be seen.
He was so thirsty that he felt his throat and lips were torn in pain. He slowly stood up and walked to another place, hoping to find fresh water to quench his thirst and sustain his life.
Suddenly, Li Nezha's eyes were filled with a flash of blood-red. He rubbed his eyes quickly and looked again. He actually found the first plant after entering this place!
It was a vine wrapped around a huge two-meter-high rock. The vine was dry and white, and its color was no different from the rock, but it was covered with small blood-red fruits the size of a fingernail.
Li Nezha hurriedly walked closer to take a look. The blood fruit was crystal clear and as red as blood. It seemed to emit blood light and looked somewhat enchanting.
"How come there are red grapes growing in a place like this..." Li Nezha pursed his lips. He wanted to eat it but didn't dare to. The fruit looked so strange, who knew if it was poisonous.
Li Nezha couldn't help but turn his head and look around, and found that there was only one vine, and the surroundings were still rocks, and the road was long, with no fresh water.
Li Nezha assessed his physical condition and realized that he would definitely die on the road if he continued walking. If he wanted to survive, he had to eat this ghost fruit. After all... there should be at least some water in the fruit.
Having made up his mind, Li Nezha reached out to pick the blood fruit. As soon as he touched it, he felt extremely hot and the pain was unbearable.
He quickly withdrew his fingers and looked at them in panic, only to find that the two fingers he had just touched were actually fine. Although they were so hot just now, they were not even burned at all.
"Strange..." Li Nezha, still frightened, reached out to pick the blood fruit again. This time he moved quickly and forcibly picked a blood fruit and held it in his hand.
The next moment Li Nezha felt that his palm was as if it had fallen into magma, almost being burned and melted, and he lost consciousness. But when Li Nezha looked down, he found that his palm was still the same as before, without any change at all.
Although the pain was unbearable, Li Nezha was not hurt at all. He was very happy and at the same time, he became more curious about the blood fruit.
"Since you can't hurt me, it means God wants me to live, Your Majesty... Li Nezha will not die yet, hahaha..." Li Nezha laughed dryly at himself, and then decisively stuffed the blood fruit in his hand into his mouth.
He had intended to bite it, but the burning pain was so severe when it entered his mouth that Li Nezha couldn't bite it at all. "Ahhh~" He cried out nervously twice and then swallowed the blood fruit directly into his stomach.
Li Nezha only felt a ball of fire running wildly in his stomach, and he was in so much pain that he kept rolling and whimpering on the ground, clutching his stomach. It was a pity that he was severely dehydrated, otherwise he would have been sweating profusely at this time...
This pain lasted only a minute. Li Nezha suddenly stiffened and a sense of comfort inexplicably surged up, stimulating him to tremble uncontrollably. Li Nezha shouted happily: "Awesome!"
After the comfort, Li Nezha felt relaxed and jumped up from the ground. He waved his arms and raised his thighs and found that he did not feel uncomfortable at all. He checked his injuries again and could not find any. He could even feel a warm current running through his body. Wherever the warm current flowed, he felt most comfortable.
After feeling the strength of his body, Li Nezha immediately stared at the crystal clear blood fruits with shining eyes, thinking: "What treasures!"
There were more than a hundred blood fruits on this vine. Li Nezha quickly grabbed some and stuffed four or five of them directly into his mouth, swallowing them all in one gulp while enduring the pain.
Li Nezha felt that one hand was not enough, so he used both hands to pluck the blood fruits and put them into his mouth.
It wasn't that Li Nezha was extremely hungry, but the blood fruit was too painful to touch. Li Nezha thought that a short pain was better than a long one, so he ate it in such a hurry.
He could feel the warmth in his body becoming stronger and stronger, and his body felt very comfortable. Soon Li Nezha discovered that his abdomen was filled with warmth. A strong feeling of fullness surged up, making Li Nezha unable to eat even half a blood fruit.
Li Nezha burped and found that there were still more than 20 blood fruits left on the vine. He thought: "So many precious grapes can't be wasted. Oh, by the way, I will collect them and present them to His Majesty. His Majesty will definitely like them very much!"
Li Nezha quickly tore off a corner of his official robe, picked all the blood fruits and put them together, wrapped them with the rags of his official robe, and put them in his arms to keep them well.
His body regained strength and his life was extended. Li Nezha was in a good mood, but suddenly he became sad: "I don't know how Gan Ce and Lu Feng are doing? If something happens to me, will His Majesty be sad?"
Li Nezha had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and at this moment there was a loud noise from the sky, "whoosh whoosh whoosh~" a deafening roar, like the sound of rays breaking through the air.
Li Nezha looked up quickly, and saw several people flying in the sky. They all had long swords under their feet, flying in the sky, leaving a streamline that broke through the clouds.
