Chapter 56
The Bloodthorn Fruit leader nodded in agreement with amusement. The leaves of the Bloodthorn Fruit were indeed like hair to their kind. The leaves absorbed nutrients, and the larger the Bloodthorn Fruit, the more nutrients it needed. However, they also had to retain some of the leaves, using the thorns to attack enemies.
Its massive size was both a source of strength and a deterrent to enemies, but it was also a burden. Even though the Bloodthorn Fruit Clan didn't require much water or nutrients, they couldn't survive the exceptionally barren land they were currently on.
Therefore, the Blood Thorn Fruit Clan had no aversion at all to Long Yuanyuan coming to harvest the leaves. They were even a little surprised and unexpected when they saw the ball of light in the little cub's hand, and they welcomed the arrival of the little cub even more.
After hearing the affirmative answer from the blood thorn fruit leader, Long Yuanyuan immediately waved her little hand and began to command the vines to harvest the blood thorn fruit leaves.
The Mo Ju Teng held the dagger skillfully, and the three vines cooperated with each other. One vine was responsible for wrapping around the dagger, and the other two were responsible for carefully bypassing the thorns on the leaves and then wrapping up the leaves.
Long Yuanyuan was in charge of cheering her up. Her little baby voice kept praising and encouraging Teng Teng with the most sincere words. When she saw the dagger cut through the leaves, she couldn't help but jump on the spot.
This is food!
Slurp——
She swallowed, her round, dark brown eyes filled with desire, which gave the Blood Thorn Fruit Leader goosebumps.
"Cub, don't you want to clean up the thorns? If you still need them, I think my fellow tribesmen would be happy to give you some." The Blood Thorn Fruit couldn't stand such a look and tried to divert Long Yuanyuan's attention.
As soon as he finished speaking, the other blood thorn fruits shook slightly to show their agreement.
Long Yuanyuan also remembered the thorn stuck in the ground. She walked around the thorn for a long time, and finally decided to wrap the thorn with clothes and then pull it out.
Each person and each vine worked exceptionally hard.
One was responsible for collecting the thorns, while the other found other bloodthorn fruits and continued to cut the leaves.
Ku Mu also communicated with the Blood Thorn Fruit Leader at the right time.
"Have you noticed anything unusual at night recently?"
The dead tree asked in a serious tone. Ever since it knew that Long Yuanyuan must not go out at night, it began to silently observe the night in the wilderness.
After observing for several nights, it finally discovered that the wasteland at night did indeed have a dangerous aura. However, this dangerous aura did not seem to pose any threat to the native creatures of the wasteland. The only possibility was that it was only targeting contestants like Long Yuanyuan.
However, it is not certain.
In addition, it now needs to stay in the small yard most of the time, so I didn't investigate further.
Blood Thorn Fruit was silent for a while, then he said, "You are right."
There is indeed a dangerous atmosphere above the wasteland.
They, the Bloodthorn Fruit Clan, had been in the wasteland for who knows how long. Naturally, they were extremely familiar with every plant and tree in the wasteland. They had never heard of any dangers in the wasteland at night, so naturally, they had never paid attention to them.
But after the dead tree said this last time, it led its people to carefully sense the surroundings and even consumed some energy.
It continued, "But you don't have to worry too much. This dangerous force seems very weak and can hardly harm you or me. Moreover, their ill intentions are not directed towards you or me."
Deadwood: "But this is just because there is no danger to us at the moment."
The dead tree did not think that the power was weak. It felt that the word "elusive" was more suitable for that power.
It suddenly thought of the catastrophe on the continent and the prophecy that "black fog will inevitably cover" the continent, and the sense of urgency in its heart became stronger.
The Blood Thorn Fruit Leader laughed, but the laughter was emotionless and somewhat dry, yet it made one's throat feel dry.
"We've lived for too long, watching the plants around us gradually die, and even more of my people withering away. However, it's clear that our Bloodthorn Fruit Clan is the one that lives the longest and is the most adaptable to harsh environments."
"Dead Tree, you can't even remember your original name, so we can only call you Dead Tree. Is it really interesting to live in such hopelessness?" The Blood Thorn Fruit leader looked at the cub who was struggling to pull out the thorns. She was probably the only vibrant existence in the wilderness, rather than hopeless and dead.
It continued, "In these long, long years, we have known clearly that a catastrophe lies before us, but we do not know when it will strike. We have endured enough of this torture. Even if we were killed by that unknown danger, it would not be a problem."
After just a few words, Ku Mu instantly understood the position of the Blood Thorn Fruit Clan.
The Blood Thorn Fruit Clan is different from it. It is in hibernation, waiting for time to pass, while the Blood Thorn Fruit Clan has to watch the surrounding environment change little by little, seeing with their own eyes the death of plants that were familiar or unfamiliar to them, and even seeing their own fellow clansmen die.
The dead tree didn't continue the question, but changed the subject: "The cub has too little food, and some exotic beasts will be looking for food during this period, so I may have to trouble you again."
The meaning of this statement was self-evident, but the Bloodthorn Fruit leader was very happy to agree: "Let her come. How much can a little cub like her eat? But, wouldn't it be bad for her health to eat only vegetarian food?"
The Blood Thorn Fruit Leader looked at Long Yuanyuan silently, and suddenly felt that the little cub was a little thin.
Long Yuanyuan, who had been busy pulling out thorns, subconsciously looked up when he heard the word "cub." He looked around with a confused look and asked loudly, "Big Tree, are you talking to me?"
"Yuanyuan, be good and continue pulling out your thorns."
"Oh." Long Yuanyuan continued to pull out the thorns. Some of the thorns were stuck too deep in the ground. She held the thorns with both hands and pulled them out with great effort, but she accidentally fell on her butt.
Long Yuanyuan didn't care. She casually brushed off the dust on her clothes and continued to pull out the weeds with great effort.
The leader of the dead tree and the blood-thorn fruit laughed out loud almost at the same time, with no intention of going up to help. They even hoped that the little cub would fall a few more times.
After all, it looks really cute this way.
Ku Mu looked at Yuan Yuan for a while before continuing, "Yuan Yuan also eats meat, so it can be considered a combination of meat and vegetables."
only.....
Will the cubs raised in this way not grow tall?
Moreover, it remembered that the cubs it first saw were fair, tender, and even a little chubby, but now they seemed to have become thinner?
Ku Mu suddenly became serious, and shamelessly followed the Blood Thorn Fruit Leader to ask for some Blood Thorn Fruit. "Yuan Yuan has indeed lost a lot of weight. How about some fruit to replenish his weight?"
Blood Thorn Fruit Leader: "....."
Although I was speechless, there were still a few more fruits on the ground.
The dead tree silently pulled the fruits on the ground to the side of its own roots.
